Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly, to a pachinko gaming machine that launches a gaming ball on a gaming board surface.

In gaming machines, such as pachinko machines, especially the so-called “fever machine”, when a game ball that has been launched wins an operating port, the symbols are displayed on the screen for a predetermined time and then displayed statically (stopped). If the symbol is a combination of predetermined symbols, the game content is advantageous to the player.
Whether or not to display a predetermined combination of symbols that is advantageous to the player is determined by the random number value selected based on the timing at which the game ball wins the operating opening, and the selected random number is selected. If the numerical value matches a predetermined value, a combination of a plurality of symbols, for example, a predetermined symbol combination such as “777” or “333” is displayed on the screen, and the game content is advantageous to the player. In addition to notifying, a so-called “big hit” is opened for a predetermined period of time, and a large number of game balls are paid out to the player as prize balls.

  On the other hand, the popular name “Hikoki” is also called an airplane stand because it has parts shaped like airplane wings, and when it wins from the blade part that opens in the operation chucker prize, it wins the so-called V zone in the role. The model that is a big hit, and the so-called “rights” model, will be placed in the V zone in the special prize opening as a right-generating outlet when a specific pattern is prepared after winning or passing through the operating opening. It is a big hit only after putting a ball, and both require a skill of the game.

  However, the “fever machine” has a strong aspect of simply winning a game ball at the symbol operating port, and whether or not to generate a big hit is a factor of luck.

  On the other hand, in “Hikoki” and “Rights”, the element of carrying is not as high as the Fever machine, which is intriguing for skilled players, but for low-skilled players There is also an aspect that is difficult.

  Therefore, the gaming machine of the present invention has been made for the purpose of suitably solving the above-described problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine rich in creativity based on an unprecedented idea.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the gaming machine according to claim 1 is characterized in that a variable display means for variably displaying a predetermined symbol due to the game ball entering the symbol operation port, and displayed on the variable display means. Game is played by either the first condition in which the symbol to be determined is a specific symbol or the second condition in which the game ball enters the specific entrance and passes through the specific area. A main control board for changing to a special gaming state advantageous to the user, and a symbol control board for controlling the variable display means, the main control board being changed once from the start of the change of the symbol until it is stopped. The main control board transmits to the design control board the data for variably displaying the predetermined design, and the design control board receives the data transmitted by the main control board. Then, the variation of the symbol starts and the variation The main control board displays a power-on demonstration command when the power is turned on, and determines that the player has not executed the game for a predetermined time after the fluctuation time indicated by the game has elapsed. When the power-on demo command is sent, a customer waiting demo command is transmitted to the symbol control board, and when the symbol control board receives each demo command, it is written in the ROM in the symbol control board. Each demonstration screen is displayed according to a control program, and the symbol control board is in a special game regardless of the difference between the special game based on the first condition and the special game based on the second condition. The gaming state is displayed on the same variable display means, and either one of the symbol operation port or the specific entrance is placed on the upper side with respect to the other, It is characterized in that the gauge structure is such that a zero ball from one can enter the other and the probability of entering the one is higher than the probability of entering the other. To do.
The term “entered ball” as used herein refers to entry of a game ball into an operation port or passage of a game ball through the operation port. Also included is a prize winning in which a prize ball is paid out along with the entry. As a result, even if the first condition is not satisfied, if the second condition is satisfied, a big hit is obtained. Conversely, if the first condition is satisfied even if the second condition is not satisfied, the big win is obtained. Thus, the above-mentioned problem can be suitably solved by having both the aspect that the skill of the player can be exhibited to some extent and the aspect that depends on luck.

  Any single or plural electric accessories can be used here. Therefore, the control means may control one electric accessory to be in a state advantageous to the player due to the first condition or the second condition, and may be operated by a plurality of operation triggers. The first electric combination is controlled to be advantageous to the player due to the establishment of the first condition, and the second electric combination is controlled according to the establishment of the second condition. You may make it control so that it may be in a state advantageous to a player. In any case, when one condition is satisfied, the other condition preferably stops its function. The specific area is usually provided in the electric accessory. A special area may be provided in the specific area, or a combination of the specific area and the special area, and it may be a condition for continuous operation that the game ball passes through the special area. A predetermined operation may be performed. Further, the electric accessory may be a big prize port called an attacker, or may be an accessory provided with a blade member also called a hikoki. The variable display means can be arranged in either the internal region or the external region of the electric accessory. The sloppy ball here refers to a game ball that has been launched into the game area with the intention of entering the one of the balls, and fails to enter the one of the balls and flows down without achieving the original purpose. The gauge structure means an arrangement of a large number of game nails planted on the game area of the game board.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide an unprecedented creativity-rich gaming machine by appropriately combining the difficulty levels of the conditions for establishing the first condition and the second condition. In addition, since the right is generated mainly by entering the above-mentioned one, and the right may also be generated secondaryly by entering the other, the above-mentioned problem can be solved preferably.

However, it can be configured so that bidirectional communication is also possible.

  Processing executed by the 8-bit one-chip microcomputer (hereinafter simply referred to as “microcomputer”) in the main control board 30 of the pachinko machine 10 having the circuit configuration described above will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  The flowchart shown in FIG. 7 represents the main process executed by the microcomputer of the main control board 30, and is a process periodically executed by a hardware interrupt about every 2 ms. Each process from step S100 to S200 is a process that is executed only once in the interrupt process and is referred to as “main process”, and is repeatedly executed as long as time permits within the remaining time after executing this main process. The processing of S210 and S220 is referred to as “residual processing”.

  When a hardware interrupt is executed by the microcomputer, it is first determined whether or not the interrupt is a normal interrupt (step S100). This determination process is performed by determining whether or not the value of a predetermined area of the RAM as a memory is a predetermined value. When the process executed by the microcomputer shifts to this process, the normal process is executed. It is for judging whether it is okay. As an unusual case, microcomputer runaway due to noise or the like may be considered when the power is turned on, but it may be considered that there is almost no runaway microcomputer due to recent technological improvements, and is therefore mostly when the power is turned on. When the power is turned on, the value in the predetermined area of the RAM is different from the predetermined value.

  If it is determined that the interrupt is not normal (step S100: NO), a predetermined value is written in a predetermined area of the memory, and initial values are written in a work area of the memory such as a special symbol and a normal symbol as an initial symbol. That is, initialization is performed (step S110).

  If an affirmative determination is made with a normal interrupt (step S100: YES), an initial random number update process is first executed (step S120). As shown in FIG. 8 (a), this process is an increment process in which the initial random number value is incremented by +1 every time this process is executed, and the initial random number value before this process is incremented by +1. When the random number before execution of the process is the maximum value “329”, the next process returns to the initial value “0”, and 330 integers from “0” to “329” are repeatedly generated in ascending order. To do.

  The success / failure random number update process (step S130) following step S120 is an increment process that is incremented by +1 each time the process is executed, as in the initial random number update process, and is the maximum value as shown in FIG. 8B. When “329” is reached, in the next processing, the initial random number value at that time is set as an initial value (hereinafter referred to as “update initial value”), and further, the process of setting it to +1 for each interrupt is continued and the update initial value is continued. If a value less than “1” (hereinafter referred to as “update maximum value”) is reached, 330 random values from “0” to “329” are set as initial values in the next processing. Create a number repeatedly. In other words, +1 is set for each interrupt process, and setting the elements constituting the random number to 330 integer values from “0” to “329” is not different from the initial random number, but this update maximum value ( In the figure, when “157”, “24”, “257”) is reached, the initial update value (“158”, “25”, “258”, “95” in the figure) at that time is used as the initial value in the next interrupt process, and the maximum update value is set. This is set to +1 for each interrupt until the next update initial value is set as the initial value. As a result, the random number is set to 330 integer values from “0” to “329” as elements constituting the random number, and is set to +1 for each interrupt processing. However, if the update maximum value is reached, the next interrupt processing is performed. Since it is changed to a value determined by the initial random number at that time, the value of the random number can be made unpredictable. In addition, the constituent elements of the random number determined by the update initial value and the update maximum value are the same as the 330 integer values “0” to “329” that are the same as the conventional pass / fail random numbers, and thus the elements constituting the random numbers The appearance rate is made uniform.

  The jackpot symbol random number update process (step S140) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 15 integers from “0” to “14”, and is incremented by +1 for each process, and the initial value is “0”. Return to. Each of the 15 random numbers “0” to “14” is “111”, “222”, “333”, “444”, “555”, “666”, “ 777 ”,“ 888 ”,“ 999 ”, [AAA”, “BBB”, “CCC”, “DDD”, “EEE”, “FFF”, respectively.

  The off symbol random number update process (step S150) is composed of a random symbol for the left symbol, a random number for the middle symbol, and a random number for the right symbol, and is used as a miss symbol when it is not a big hit. The left symbol random number is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 15 integers “0” to “14”, and is incremented by +1 for each processing, and returns to the initial value “0” when the maximum value is exceeded. The middle symbol random number is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 15 integers from “0” to “14”, and when the left symbol random number returns to “0”, it is incremented by +1 for each processing and exceeds the maximum value. And return to “0”. The right design random number is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 15 integers from “0” to “14”, and when the medium design random number returns to “0”, it is incremented by 1 every time this process is exceeded. And return to “0”.

  The normal symbol random number update process (step S160) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates seven integers “0” to “6”. The counter value is incremented by +1 for each process, and an initial value “0” is exceeded. Return to.

  The initial random number, the success / failure random number, the big hit symbol random number, the off symbol random number, and the normal symbol random number are respectively updated by each of the random number update processes (steps S120 to S160) described above. In the subsequent process (step S170), the pachinko machine 10 is provided. The input processing of each switch connected to the main control board 30 is executed. The full tank switch 43, the replenishment switch 44, the touch switch 24a, the special symbol operation switch 36a, the normal symbol operation switches 38a and 39a, the count switch 54, the V switch 55, the prize ball payout switch 29a, the blade operation switches 63a and 63b, A process of checking the operation status of each switch such as the count switch 64, the V switch 65, and other winning detection switches (not shown) provided at other winning openings is executed.

  When there is an input to the special symbol operation switch 36a by this input process (step S170), it is the time when a game ball has won the ordinary electric accessory 36 as the special symbol operation port, and the success / failure random number at the time of this interruption process Is extracted and compared with the decision result value. The pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment is configured as a probability variation machine, and the success / failure determination value is “1” at the normal probability, and “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, at the high probability, “9” and “11”. As described above, the appearance rate of each of the 330 integer values “0” to “329” constituting the success / failure random number is uniform, and is extracted at the timing when the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 36 as the operation opening. The value of the random number is a randomly extracted value because the winning timing cannot be adjusted in units of minute time compared to the minute time of the hardware interrupt. To do. Accordingly, the probability that the extracted value of the random number of hit / fail matches the hit / fail judgment value and is a big hit is 1/330 at the normal probability and 1/55 (= 6/330) at the high probability.

  In the first embodiment, the probability of generating the jackpot shifts from the low probability state to the high probability state. In the first embodiment, the value of the jackpot symbol random number in the interrupt processing when the jackpot occurs is “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, “11” and “13”, that is, the jackpot symbols are “111”, “333”, “555”, “777”, “999”, “BBB” and “ This is a case of “DDD” (hereinafter referred to as “high probability symbol”), and shifts to a high probability with a probability of 7/15 when a big hit occurs. If the jackpot symbol when the jackpot is generated again during the high probability is the high probability symbol, the higher probability state continues.

  The “high probability determination routine” shown in FIG. 9 shows processing related to the high probability determination processing. This routine is a process that is subsequently executed when it is determined that the jackpot is determined. When the process proceeds to this routine, it is first determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a high probability symbol (step S300). If an affirmative determination is made with the symbol (step S300: YES), the high probability flag Fg is set to the value “1”, and the success / failure determination values are set to “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “ The process of increasing to 9 ”and“ 11 ”is executed (steps S310 to S320), and the process returns. On the other hand, when a negative determination is made that the jackpot symbol is not a high probability symbol (step S300: NO), a process of resetting the high probability flag Fg to the value “0” and returning the success / failure determination value to “1” is executed. (Steps S330 to S340), the process returns. When the above-described determination processing (step S180) shown in FIG. 7 and the “high probability determination routine” shown in FIG. 9 are completed, the image output processing (step S190) shown in FIG. 7 is subsequently executed.

  The image output process (step S190) will be described in detail using Table 1 below. The command codes shown in Table 1 are codes transmitted from the main control board 30 to the symbol control board 32b of the special symbol display device 32. As shown in Table 1, the transmission command codes of the main control board 30 and the symbol control board 32b are 1. 1. When power is turned on 2. Demonstration waiting for customers. 3. During design fluctuation. 4. At the start of jackpot During the big hit, 6. 6. At the end of jackpot It can be roughly divided into 7 types when operation is abnormal.

1. When the power is turned on, the command when the power is turned on is a command code transmitted from the main control board 30 to the symbol control board 32b when the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, and includes 2 bytes of an operation number of 10H and an identification number of 01H. It consists of instructions. When the symbol control board 32b receives this command, a demonstration screen at power-on is displayed on the screen of the special symbol display device 32 according to the control program written in the ROM.
For example, three special symbol display areas 42a, 42b, and 42c on the LCD panel unit 32a shown in FIG. 10 are each displayed with a big hit symbol that is three digits identical to “7”, “7”, “7”, and four special symbols are displayed. The symbol on-hold storage display areas 48a to 48d are turned on for a predetermined time (about 5 seconds) and then turned off, and hero and bad are displayed as characters on the background screen 49. About 1 minute) After fighting, a bad person is defeated and a demonstration screen displaying the characters “Fire” is displayed and a sound control board 35 outputs a sound effect “Fire”.

2. Customer Waiting Demo A customer waiting demo command is sent after the demo screen when the power is turned on or when it is determined that the player has not touched the firing handle 24 for a predetermined time (usually about 3 minutes). This command is composed of a 2-byte instruction having an operation number of 20H and an identification number of 01H. When the symbol control board 32b receives this command, a demonstration screen waiting for the customer is displayed on the screen of the special symbol display device 32 according to the control program written in the ROM. For example, all the special symbol variation patterns that are variably displayed on the special symbol display areas 42a to 42c are displayed in order. At this time, a background image and a character corresponding to each variation pattern are displayed on the background screen 49. This waiting-for-customer demonstration screen displays all the variation patterns in order until the player operates the firing handle 24, and then repeatedly displays them. Note that whether or not the player is touching the firing handle 24 can be detected by the input of the touch switch 24a. In the first embodiment, since the input of the touch switch 24a is input to the main control board 30, the communication between the main control board 30 and the launch control board 33 is one-way communication from the main control board 30 while the communication is performed. It can be detected. Of course, on / off information of the touch switch 24 a is transmitted from the main control board 30 to the launch control board 33. The input of the touch switch 24a is configured to be input to the launch control board 33, and there is no winning for a predetermined time in any or all winning openings, or a switch is provided in the out opening 41 on the game board 22, and this switch is A configuration may be adopted in which it is determined that the player is not playing a game by not turning it on for a predetermined time.

3. The symbol changing command is a command transmitted at the time of special symbol changing. As shown in Table 1, (1) changing time code, (2) left still symbol designating code, (3) middle stationary symbol designating code (4) Right still symbol designating code, and four types of command codes (hereinafter, these four command codes may be collectively referred to as “image display commands”).

(1) Fluctuating time code Fluctuating time codes are configured as 30 types of 2-byte instructions including 30H 1-byte instructions as operation numbers and 30 types of 1-byte instructions as identification numbers from 01H to 1EH. Thirty types of 1-byte instructions represent 30 types of time from 5 seconds to 35 seconds in units of 1 second.

(2) Left stationary symbol designation code The left stationary symbol designation code is an instruction code consisting of an operation number of 31H and 15 types of identification numbers of 01H to 0FH. When the identification number is 01H, the left stationary symbol designation code is “0”. "1" for 02H, "2" for 03H, "3" for 04H, "4" for 05H, "5" for 06H, "6" for 07H, “7” for 08H, “8” for 09H, “9” for 0AH, “A” for 0BH, “B” for 0CH, “C” for 0DH, 0EH When “D”, the character “E” is displayed as a special symbol in the special symbol display area 42a.

(3) Medium stationary symbol designation code The middle stationary symbol designation code is an instruction code consisting of 32H operation number and 15 types of identification numbers 01H to 0FH. The identification number is the identification number of the left stationary symbol designation code. The characters having the same meaning are displayed in the special symbol display area 42b as special symbols.

(4) Right stationary symbol designation code The right stationary symbol designation code is an instruction code composed of an operation number of 33H and 15 types of identification numbers of 01H to 0FH. The identification number is an identification number of the left stationary symbol designation code. The characters having the same meaning are displayed in the special symbol display area 42c as special symbols.

  This variable time code, left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes are transmitted almost simultaneously by two bytes when a game ball launched on the game board 22 wins the ordinary electric accessory 36 as a special symbol operating port. Command code, the contents of which are determined as follows.

  That is, when the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 36, the value of the success / failure random number, the value of the jackpot symbol random number, the value of the off symbol random number, and the value of the regular symbol random number are extracted. The extracted success / failure random value is compared with the success / failure determination value “1” at the normal probability, and the success / failure determination values “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, “9”, and “11” at the high probability. If it matches, a big hit will be generated, otherwise it will be missed. When a big hit occurs, the extracted big hit symbol random number value is set to +1, and this value is used as the identification number of the left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes. That is, the identification numbers of the left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes are the same. When they do not match and become out of order, the extracted design random number random number value for the left symbol, the random number value for the middle symbol, and the random number value for the right symbol are set to +1, respectively. This is the identification number of the right stationary design designation code. At this time, if the three identification numbers coincide by chance, a process is performed in which the identification number value of the right stationary symbol designation code is set to a value different by “1”. The above-mentioned variable time code is a large value when the identification numbers of the left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes all match, and is an intermediate value when the identification numbers of the left and middle stationary symbol designation codes do not match. If they do not match at all, they are sorted into smaller values.

  Processing performed by the symbol control board 32b when an image display command composed of these four command codes is received will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The “normal display routine” shown in FIG. 11A is a process used for image processing when the identification numbers of the transmitted left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes do not all match, that is, when no big hit is generated. . When the microcomputer of the symbol control board 32b receives the image display command, a process of creating a special symbol variation pattern from the received variation time and the identification numbers of the left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes is executed (step S400). . In the ROM of the symbol control board 32b, as shown in the following Table 2, a table corresponding to each combination of values of the received image display command is written. The microcomputer of the symbol control board 32b reads the table written in the ROM from the received image display command and creates a special symbol variation pattern. This variation pattern is created as follows.

  The microcomputer determines whether or not the left and middle identification numbers match from the identification numbers of the received left, middle and right stationary design designation codes (that is, whether or not it is a reach), and whether the fluctuation is normal or not. Judgment is made on reach fluctuation, and whether or not trick fluctuation is caused by whether the fluctuation time value is larger or smaller than the predetermined value even in reach fluctuation, the left and middle of the special symbol is determined by these judgments and the fluctuation time. And each time from the start of fluctuation of the right symbol until it stops is determined. In accordance with the created special symbol variation pattern, display data of the background and characters displayed on the background screen 49 are also created. When the variation pattern is created in this way, the variation display process (step S410) for starting the variation of each of the left, middle and right special symbols according to the variation pattern and displaying the stationary symbols with the designated stationary symbols is performed. Character display control is also executed.

4). At the time of big hit The command code at the time of big hit starts when the big hit action is started after the left, middle and right special symbols displayed in the special symbol display areas 42a to 42c display the same symbol. This is a command used when displaying an image that appeals to the player, and is composed of an operation number of 40H and an identification number of 01H. When the symbol control board 32b receives this command code, a process of outputting a sound effect by the sound control board 35 is performed on the screen of the special symbol display device 32, "a character such as a big hit is displayed and the character is pleased". The
At this time, as shown in FIG. 11B, the symbol control board 32b makes a big hit from the image display command, that is, whether or not the received identification numbers of the left, middle and right stationary symbol designation codes match. When it is determined that it has occurred (step S500) and an affirmative determination is made (step S500: YES), the value of the number of jackpots stored last time is set to +1 (step S510), and the number of times is displayed on the background screen 49. The process is executed (step S520), and the process returns to return. Thereby, it is possible to notify the player of the total number of jackpots that have occurred in the pachinko machine 10 during business since opening the pachinko hall. On the other hand, if a negative determination is made that the game is not a big hit (step S500: NO), the process returns to the return.

5). Big hit Medium hit big hit commands are classified into five commands: pre-open code, open code, 10-count winning code, V pass code, and round display code.
A big hit also occurs when the game ball jumped into the second special electric accessory 60 passes through the V passage 69 while the blades 62a and 62b are opened, and the blades 62a and 62b are opened.
(1) The pre-release code is composed of an operation number of 50H and an identification number of 01H, and when the symbol control board 32b inputs this command code, the player is notified that the big prize opening 52 or the blades 62a and 62b will be opened. A process for displaying the notification image on the background screen 49 is executed.
(2) The open code is composed of an operation number of 50H and an identification number of 02H. When the symbol control board 32b inputs this command code, it is determined that the special prize opening 52 or the blades 62a and 62b are open. A process for displaying an image to inform the person on the background screen 49 is executed.
(3) The 10-count winning code is composed of an operation number of 50H and an identification number of 03H, and the main control board 30 indicates that a game ball has won from the large winning opening 52 or the blades 62a and 62b, respectively. This instruction code is transmitted every time it is detected by the V switch 55. When the symbol control board 32b inputs this command code, the value is incremented every time it is input, and the value is displayed on the background screen 49. Thereby, on the screen, the number from 0 to 10 is displayed every time a game ball wins from the big winning opening 52 or the blades 62a and 62b.
(4) The V passing code is composed of an operation number of 50H and an identification number of 04H, and the main control board 30 detects that the game ball has passed through a special area in the big winning opening 52 by the V switch 55, Alternatively, this command code is transmitted depending on whether the V switch 65 detects that the game ball has passed through the V passage port 69. When the command control board 32b inputs this command code, the character “V” is displayed large on the screen to inform the player that the special winning opening 52 or the blades 62a, 62b will be opened again.
(5) The round display code is composed of an operation number of 50H and an identification number of 05H, and the main control board 30 transmits this command code every time the big prize opening 52 or the blades 62a and 62b are opened again after the opening operation is completed. To do. When the symbol control board 32b inputs this command code, the value is incremented every time it is input, and the value is displayed on the background screen 49. As a result, the player is notified of the number of times the special winning opening 52 or the blades 62a and 62b are opened.

6). End of jackpot The jackpot end command consists of a jackpot end demo command code and a high probability transition command code.
The jackpot end demo command code indicates that the game ball is special when the jackpot operation is finished, that is, when the big prize opening 52 or the blades 62a and 62b finishes the opening operation 16 times, or during the opening even if it does not continue up to 16 times. This is an instruction code transmitted when it does not pass through the area, and is composed of an operation number of 60H and an identification number of 01H. When the symbol control board 32b inputs this command code, a message is displayed informing the player that the big hit has ended.
The high probability transition command code is composed of an operation number of 61H and identification numbers of 01H to 02H. When the identification number is 01H, the high probability state is continued, and when the identification number is 02H, the high probability is not continued. In the first embodiment, the high probability transition command code may be transmitted from the main control board 30 or may be determined by the symbol control board 32b from the value of the image display command described above.

7). When abnormal operation The abnormal operation command is an instruction command transmitted when an abnormality occurs in the pachinko machine 10, and in this embodiment, from the E1 error code of 70H01H, the E2 error code of 70H02H, and the E3 error code of 70H03H It is configured. The E1 error code is a ten-count abnormal error, and is output when no game balls are detected when the special winning opening 52 or the blades 62a and 62b are opened. The E2 error code is full when the lower plate 23 is full. The E3 error code is output when the supply switch 44 is turned on. The error message displayed by sending these abnormal time commands is deleted by the error release code of 70H04H that is sent when the abnormality is released.

  In each subsequent output process (step S200), the main control board 30 is a special symbol display device 32, a prize ball control board 31, a launch control board 33, a lamp control board 34, a sound control board 35, an ordinary control board 30 according to the progress of the game. Output processing is executed for each of the various solenoids such as the accessory solenoid 36b, the special prize opening solenoid 56, the V solenoid 57, and the blade solenoids 66a and 66b. That is, when it is detected by each input process (step S170) that there is a winning game ball in each winning port on the game board 22, a winning ball is placed on the winning ball control board 31 so as to pay out the playing ball as a winning ball. An error signal is sent to the symbol control board 32b to notify the fact that an error is occurring when the pachinko machine 10 is abnormal in the process of outputting data, the process of outputting sound data corresponding to the gaming state to the sound control board 35. The processing to be output is further executed, and when a big hit occurs, the big hit processing or the like is executed. It should be noted that the functions of the blade operation ports 61a and 61b (big prize opening operation ports) are effective during the variation of the symbols displayed on the special symbol display device 32. Further, during the big hit, the function of changing the symbols or the function of the blade operating ports 61a and 61b (large winning port operating ports) is stopped.

  The remaining process following the above-described process is composed of an outlier symbol random number update process (step S210) and an initial random number update process (step S220), which are substantially the same processes as the above-described steps S150 and S120, respectively. These two processes form an infinite loop and are repeatedly executed as long as time is allowed until the next interrupt is executed. The time required to execute the main processing from steps S100 to S200 described above differs for each interrupt depending on whether or not to execute the big hit processing, the difference in display mode of special symbols, and the like. As a result, the number of times the remaining process is executed is different for each interrupt, and the interrupted process shown in FIG. 7 is executed once, and the values to be updated (added) of the random symbols and initial random numbers are uniform. Disappear. As a result, there is no possibility that the initial random number and the off-design random number are synchronized with the failure random number. In the first embodiment, since the update of the random number is changed according to the value of the initial random number, there is no possibility of synchronization. The normal symbol random number update process (step S160) described above may also be executed in the remaining process.

  By executing the above-described processes, the pachinko machine 10 performs the following operation so as to realize the game contents mainly based on the variation of the special symbol and based on the behavior of the game ball. That is, a game ball is launched onto the game board 22 by the launch motor 33a in accordance with the amount of rotation of the launch handle 24 operated by the player, and the fired game ball is used as a normal electric accessory 36 as a special symbol operating port. If a prize is won, this is detected by the special symbol operation switch 36a, and the special symbol is displayed on the screen of the special symbol display device 32 after being variably displayed for a predetermined time, and then it is displayed and fixed. When the special symbol displayed statically displays a predetermined specific symbol, for example, the same three-digit symbol such as “777”, the game content advantageous to the player is provided as a big hit state. As described above, whether or not the big hit state is reached is determined by whether or not the value of the success / failure random number extracted when the game ball is detected by the special symbol operation switch 36a is a predetermined value. This is the first condition, and when the first condition is satisfied and a big hit state is established, either the big winning opening 52 is about 30 seconds or until 10 counts are detected by the count switch 54. The game is opened until early, and when the V switch 55 detects that the game ball won in the special prize opening 52 has passed through the special area, the special prize opening 52 is once closed and then opened again. This opening operation is repeated a predetermined number of rounds, for example, a maximum of 16 times. Normally, 15 game balls are paid out as prize balls for one game ball winning, so when one big hit state occurs, about 2400 (= 15 × 10 × 16) A game ball can be obtained as a prize ball. This prize ball discharge operation is executed by the prize ball control board 31. The V solenoid 57 that opens and closes the special area of the special winning opening 52 is for closing the special area when one game ball passes through the special area. The control executed by the lamp control board 34 and the sound control board 35 during the game has the same configuration as the conventional one, and the description thereof will be omitted.

  On the other hand, if a spilling ball or the like that failed to win the ordinary electric accessory 36 wins the blade operation ports 61a and 61b, this is detected by the blade operation switches 63a and 63b, and the blades 62a and 62b are detected for a predetermined time (0.9). Within a second), if there is a prize from the blades 62a, 62b during this release period, the game ball flows randomly to the lower part of the second special electric accessory 60, and the rotating body 68 rotates to randomly play the game ball. It hits the rotating body 68 and passes through the V passage port 69 or not. When the winning ball passes through the V passing port 69, the second special electric accessory 60 is made advantageous to the player. Accordingly, whether or not the big hit state is reached is determined by whether or not the game ball passes through the V passing port 69. This is the second condition, and when the second condition is satisfied and a big hit state is established, either the blades 62a and 62b are either for about 30 seconds or until 10 counts are detected by the count switch 64. The blades 62a and 62b are closed once and then opened again, and this opening operation is repeated up to 16 times. Normally, 15 game balls are paid out as winning balls for one winning game ball, so when one big hit state occurs, about 2400 (= 15 × 10 × 16) A game ball can be obtained as a prize ball. This prize ball discharge operation is executed by the prize ball control board 31. If the game ball passes through the V passing port 69 while the blades 62a and 62b are opened, the opening operation is ended at that point and then released again. However, if the game ball does not pass through the V passing port 69 during the opening operation, the opening operation is performed. Ends at that time. The control executed by the lamp control board 34 and the sound control board 35 during the game has the same configuration as the conventional one, and the description thereof will be omitted.

  According to the first embodiment described in detail above, as a result of the player launching a game ball aiming for a prize in the ordinary electric accessory 36, the player may win the ordinary electric accessory 36 and fail to win the prize. The spilling ball may win the blade operation ports 61a and 61b. As a result, a random number is selected in accordance with the winning of the ordinary electric accessory 36. Mainly, the special symbol display frequently fluctuates, so that a right may be generated and the ordinary electric accessory 36 is not won. As a result, the blades 62a and 62b are opened and closed in accordance with the winning of the blade operation ports 61a and 61b, which are the second type starting ports, by the spilling ball, etc. Increased further. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy both the jackpot based on the probability and the jackpot based on the skill of the player, and an excellent effect is achieved that it is possible to provide game contents rich in creativity. In addition, since the blade operation ports 61a and 61b have a gauge configuration that is awarded only occasionally, there is an advantage that the base does not become high. However, the number of prize balls may increase by opening and closing the blades 62a and 62b.

  In addition, while displaying the image display accompanying the big hit resulting from the 1st special electric accessory 50 (normal electric accessory (special symbol action | operation opening) 36) on the special symbol display apparatus 32, the image display of the same content is 2nd. Although displayed on the special symbol display device 32 in accordance with the big hit caused by the special electric accessory 60 (blade operation port 61a, 61b), if image display of different contents is performed, the preference is further enhanced.

  FIG. 4B shows a modification of the first embodiment, in which the vertical positional relationship between the ordinary electric accessory 36 and the blade operation ports 61a and 61b is reversed. This gauge configuration will be described in detail. The fault nail group YG12 is planted above the blade operating port 61a, and two life nails YG13 are planted right above. Similarly, the fault nail group YG14 is planted above the blade operating port 61b, and two life nails YG15 are planted right above. With this gauge configuration, the game ball launched on the game board 22 is guided to the vicinity of the blade operating port 61a or 61b by the obstacle nail group YG12 or YG14, and the distance between the two game nails of the life nail YG13 or YG15 and By adjusting the inclination, the winning rate to the blade operation port 61a or 61b is adjusted. On the other hand, in the vicinity of the upper portion of the ordinary electric accessory 36, a guide nail group YG10 for guiding the game ball launched on the game board 22 to the ordinary electric accessory 36 is implanted. Two life nails YG11 are planted right above the ordinary electric accessory 36. Thereby, a game ball that is not guided to the blade operating port 61a or 61b by the obstacle nail group YG12 or YG14, or a zero ball that fails to win the blade operating port 61a or 61b passes through the gap of the guide nail group YG10, and In some cases, the prize may be won by escaping the regulations of the life nail YG11. By adjusting the interval and the inclination of the two game nails of the life nail YG11, the winning rate to the ordinary electric accessory 36 in a state where it is not enlarged is adjusted.

  FIG. 5 (a) is another modification of the first embodiment. In the configuration of FIG. 4 (a), the ordinary electric accessory 36 is replaced with a special symbol actuating passage 36 '. This is the same as the conventional gauge configuration of the second type game. This gauge configuration will be described in detail. Guide nail groups YG20 to YG23 for guiding the game balls launched on the game board 22 to the special symbol operation passage port 36 'are planted at right and left in the vicinity of the upper portion of the special symbol operation passage port 36'. Yes. Two life nails YG24 are planted right above the special symbol operation passage opening 36 '. With this gauge configuration, the game balls launched on the game board 22 are guided by the guide nail groups YG20 to YG23 to the vicinity of the special symbol operation passing port 36 ', and the interval and the inclination of the two game nails of the life nail YG24. Is adjusted to adjust the passing rate to the special symbol operation passing port 36 '. On the other hand, the obstacle nail group YG25 is planted above the blade operating port 61a, and two life nails YG26 are planted directly above. Similarly, the fault nail group YG27 is planted above the blade operating port 61b, and two life nails YG28 are planted directly above. With this gauge configuration, a game ball that is not guided to the winning opening of the special symbol operation passing port 36 ′ by the guide nail group YG20 to YG23, or a zero ball that fails to pass through the special symbol operation passing port 36 ′, There may be a case where the gap between the YG 27 and the life nail YG 26 or YG 28 is escaped to win a prize. By adjusting the interval and the inclination of the two game nails YG26 or YG28, the winning rate to the blade operating port 61a or 61b is adjusted.

On the other hand, FIG. 5B is another different modification of the first embodiment. In the configuration of FIG. 4A, the blade operation ports 61a and 61b are replaced with the blade operation passage ports 61a "and 61b". Therefore, the base of the game is the same as the conventional gauge configuration of the first type gaming machine, and none of the base is higher than the conventional machine. This gauge configuration will be described in detail. Guide nail groups YG30 to YG33 for guiding the game balls launched on the game board 22 to the ordinary electric combination 36 ″ are planted at right and left in the vicinity of the upper portion of the ordinary electric combination 36 ″. Two life nails YG34 are planted directly above the ordinary electric accessory 36 ". With this gauge configuration, the game balls launched on the game board 22 are normally electrically driven by the guide nail groups YG30 to YG33. By adjusting the distance and the inclination of the two game nails of the life nail YG34, the winning percentage to the normal electric accessory 36 "in an unexpanded state is adjusted. A fault nail group YG35 is planted above the blade operation passage port 61a ", and two life nails YG36 are planted immediately above. Similarly, the obstacle nail group YG37 is planted above the blade operating passage 61b ", and two life nails YG38 are planted right above. With this gauge configuration, the ordinary electric accessory 36 is guided by the guide nail groups YG30 to YG33. "A game ball that is not guided to the prize opening or a normal electric accessory 36", a spilling ball that fails to win a prize will escape through the gap of the obstacle nail group YG35 or YG37 and escape the regulation of the life nail YG36 or YG38. By adjusting the interval and inclination of the two game nails of the life nails YG36 or YG38, the passing rate to the blade operating passage 61a "or 61b" is adjusted.
However, in the case of FIG. 5B, there is a possibility that the number of prize balls will increase when the blades 62a or 62b operate. In FIG. 4B, it is also possible to change the ordinary electric accessory 36 or the blade operation ports 61a and 61b to passage ports in the same manner as described above.

  Next, a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. This embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, but the two special electric actors 50 and 60 are integrated into one special electric accessory 260, and the first special electric accessory 260 is the first. The functions fulfilled in the embodiment are combined. That is, the pachinko machine of the present embodiment is connected to the first special electric accessory 50 of the first embodiment and the accompanying special prize opening 52, V switch 55, count switch 54, special prize opening solenoid 56, V solenoid 57, and the like. All corresponding configurations are deleted, and their functions are integrated into one special electric combination 260 corresponding to the second special electric combination 60 of the first embodiment. Accordingly, the description and illustration of the common constituent elements will be described mainly using the first embodiment, and different configurations will be mainly described. Note that the part numbers shown in the drawing are the corresponding parts of the first embodiment in the 200s, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, the main configuration of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment is a special electric symbol serving as a special symbol display device 232 at the center of the game board 222 and a special symbol operating port provided at the bottom. 236, the normal symbol display device 237 at the top, the left and right normal symbol operation gates 238 and 239 used for starting the fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the normal symbol display device 237, the out port 241 at the bottom of the board surface, the center of the game board 222 Are provided with a pair of blade operating ports 261a and 261b provided on the left and right sides of the special electric accessory 260 and the ordinary electric accessory 236, various other prize winning openings, a windmill, a game nail (not shown), and the like. The special electric accessory 260 includes a pair of blades 262a and 262b that function as a big prize opening at the top, the above-described special symbol display device 232 at the center, a rotating body 268, and a V passage port 269 at the bottom. The blades 262a and 262b are opened and closed due to winning in the mouths 261a and 261b.

  The electrical configuration of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. The electric circuit of the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, but the switches are slightly changed. That is, on the input side of the main control board 230, the full switch 243, the replenishment switch 244, the touch switch 224a, the special symbol operation switch 236a, the normal symbol operation switches 238a and 239a, the prize ball payout switch 229a, the blade operation switch 263a, 263b, a count switch 264, a V switch 265, and the like are connected. Further, a normal accessory solenoid 236b, an external connection terminal board 240, blade solenoids 266a, 266b, and the like are connected to the output side of the main control board 230. The count switch 264 detects all winning game balls from the blades 262a and 262b, and the V switch 265 detects the game balls that have passed through the V passage 269.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, the blade operation ports 261 a and 261 b are provided symmetrically in the left and right lower regions of the special electric accessory 260, and the normal electric accessory 236 is a central portion of the lower region of the special electric accessory 260. And it arrange | positions in the center part lower area | region between blade | wing operation | movement ports 261a and 261b. As for the gauge configuration, it is assumed that the blade actuating port 261a or 261b which is the second type starting port is frequently awarded, and the normal electric accessory 236 which is the first type starting port is sometimes won, and the vane operating port 261a or 261b is awarded. It is assumed that the missed spill ball may win the ordinary electric accessory 236. In other words, as shown in the figure, guide nail groups YG40 and YG41 are planted above the blade operating port 261a, and two life nails YG42 are planted immediately above. Similarly, guide nail groups YG43 and YG44 are planted above the blade operating port 261b, and two life nails YG45 are planted just above. As a result, the game balls launched on the game board 22 are guided to the guide nail groups YG40 and YG41 or the guide nail groups YG43 and YG44 to reach the vicinity of the blade operation ports 261a or 261b, and the life nails YG42 or YG45 are By adjusting the gap and inclination of the two game nails, the winning rate to the blade operating port 261a or 261b is adjusted. On the other hand, an obstacle nail group YG46 is implanted above the ordinary electric accessory 236. Due to this gauge configuration, the falling ball that has failed to win the blade operating port 261a or 261b may win the ordinary electric accessory 236 through the gap of the obstacle nail group YG46. By adjusting the gap and inclination of the obstacle nail group YG46, the winning rate for the ordinary electric accessory 236 is adjusted. In addition, although it was set as the structure which uses the normal electric accessory 236 as a special symbol operation opening, it is good also as a structure which uses the normal winning opening which does not expand a winning opening. Although the special area is not provided in the present embodiment, the V passage 269 may be configured to also serve as the special area. In this case, a V solenoid that opens and closes the special area is provided. Other explanations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  The operation of the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment will be described. By executing the above-described processes, the pachinko machine 10 performs the following operations so as to realize the game content mainly based on the behavior of the game ball and following the special symbol variation. That is, among the fired game balls, if a spilling ball or the like that fails to win in the blade operating ports 261a, 261b wins the ordinary electric accessory 236 as a special symbol operating port, it is detected by the special symbol operating switch 236a. The special symbol is variably displayed on the screen of the symbol display device 232 for a predetermined time and then displayed statically. When the special symbol displayed statically displays a predetermined specific symbol, for example, the same three-digit symbol such as “777”, the game content advantageous to the player is provided as a big hit state. Whether or not it becomes a big hit state is determined by whether or not the value of the winning / decision determining random number extracted when the game ball is detected by the special symbol operation switch 236a is a predetermined value. This is the first condition. On the other hand, if the game ball wins the blade operation ports 261a, 261b, it is detected by the blade operation switches 263a, 263b, and operates to open the blades 262a, 262b for a predetermined time (within 0.9 seconds), and the release period. If there is a prize from the blades 262a and 262b inside, it flows down to the lower part of the special electric accessory 260, and the rotation of the rotating body 268 causes the game ball to randomly hit the rotating body 268 and pass through the V passage 269, I do not. If the game ball passes through the V passage 269, the special electric accessory 260 is made advantageous to the player. Whether or not the big hit state is reached is determined by whether or not the V passing port 269 is passed, and this is the second condition. When either the first condition or the second condition is satisfied, a big hit state is established. In any case, the count switch 264 indicates that the blades 262a and 262b have won about 30 seconds or 10 game balls. It is opened until the time elapses until it is detected, and once the blades 262a, 262b are closed, it is opened again, and this opening operation is repeated up to 16 times. Since others are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted.

  According to the second embodiment described in detail above, as a result of the player launching a game ball aiming for winning in the blade operating ports 261a, 261b, the player may win the blade operating ports 261a, 261b, or the spill The ball may win the ordinary electric accessory 236. As a result, the blades 262a and 262b are mainly opened and closed in accordance with the winning of the blade operating ports 261a and 261b, and there is a possibility that rights may be generated. As a result, the special symbol display sometimes fluctuates with the winning of the bonus item 236, so that a right may be generated from time to time, and the player's expectation is further enhanced. Accordingly, since one special electric accessory 260 is in a special gaming state advantageous to the player when either of two other conditions is satisfied, a rich gaming state can be created even with a small number of electric accessories. Increases nature. Although the ordinary electric accessory 236 has a gauge configuration that is awarded only occasionally, there is an advantage that the base is not increased. However, the number of prize balls may increase by opening and closing the blades 262a and 262b.

  In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, in 2nd Embodiment, the modified form corresponding to FIG.4 (b), FIG.5 (a), (b) of 1st Embodiment can be implemented similarly. Further, the jackpot operation may be configured to differ depending on the first condition and the second condition. For example, when a big hit occurs under the first condition, the wings 262a and 262b are released for about 30 seconds or until the time when 10 game balls are won is detected by the count switch 264, whichever comes first. If there is a game ball that passes through the passage 269, the blade 262a and 262b are once closed and then opened again. On the other hand, when a big hit occurs in the second condition, the game passes through the V passage 269. If there is a sphere, the blades 262a and 262b may be once closed and then reopened even within the period.

Accordingly, the description and illustration of the common constituent elements will be described mainly using the first embodiment, and different configurations will be mainly described. Note that the part numbers shown in the drawing are the corresponding parts of the first embodiment in the 500s, and the description thereof is omitted as appropriate.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (a), the main configuration of the pachinko machine of the fifth embodiment is a specific winning port 551 at the upper center part, and a rotary pitching device 550 into which a game ball won in the specific winning port 551 enters. Blade operation that is a special electric accessory 560 provided at the lower part of the rotary ball entry device 550, three in the lower region of the special electric accessory 560, and is a second type starting port arranged at the apex of the triangle Ports 561a, 561b, and 561c, an out port 541 at the bottom of the board surface, various other winning ports, a windmill, a game nail (not shown), and the like are provided. The special electric accessory 560 is provided with a pair of blades 562a, 562b and a V passing port 569 that function as a big prize opening at the top, and the blades 562a, 562b are opened and closed due to winning the blade operation ports 561a, 561b, 561c. It comes to work.

  As shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B, a specific winning opening 551 is provided at the upper part of the rotary pitching device 550, and the blade operating openings 561a, 561b, and 561c are triangular in the lower region of the special electric accessory 560. Has been placed. The gauge configuration is that the player frequently enters the specific winning opening 551, and sometimes enters the blade operation ports 561a, 561b or 561c, which are the second type starting ports, and the lost ball that fails to win the blade operation port 561b. It is assumed that a prize may be awarded to the blade operating port 561a or 561c. Depending on the gauge configuration, it is possible to adopt a modified form in which a ball is frequently entered into the blade operation ports 561a, 561b, or 561c and a specific winning port 551 is occasionally entered.

  The electrical configuration of the pachinko machine according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. The electrical circuit of the pachinko machine of the fifth embodiment is substantially the same as that of the third embodiment, but the switches are slightly changed. That is, on the input side of the main control board 530, the full switch 543, the replenishment switch 544, the touch switch 524a, the V switch 555, the prize ball payout switch 529a, the blade operation switches 563a and 563b, the count switch 564, the V switch 565, etc. Is connected. Further, a normal accessory solenoid 536b, an external connection terminal board 540, blade solenoids 566a, 566b, and the like are connected to the output side of the main control board 530. The V switch 555 detects a game ball that has passed through the V passage 559. The count switch 564 detects all game balls winning from the blades 562a and 562b, and the V switch 565 detects game balls that have passed through the V passage port 569.

  The operation of the pachinko machine according to the fifth embodiment will be described. By executing the above-described processes, the pachinko machine 10 can perform the following contents so that the game contents with different tastes can be realized while mainly having the behavior of the game ball by having two different winning modes. Perform an action like this. That is, the launched game ball wins from the specific winning opening 551, and the winning game ball enters the V passing opening 559, and when it is detected by the V switch 555, the game content advantageous to the player is provided as a big hit state. To do. This is the first condition. On the other hand, if the game ball wins the blade operation port 561a, 561b, 561c, it is detected by the blade operation switch 563a, 563b or 563c, and works to open the blade 562a, 562b for a predetermined time (within 0.9 seconds). If there is a prize from the blades 562a and 562b during the open period, the game ball flows down to the lower part of the special electric accessory 560, and the game ball may or may not pass through the V passage 569 due to the operation of the rotating body or the like. To do. Whether or not the big hit state is reached is determined by whether or not the V passing port 569 is passed. This is the second condition. In this way, when either the first condition or the second condition is satisfied, a big hit state is established, and the special electric accessory 560 is made advantageous to the player. In either case, the blades 562a and 562b are opened for about 30 seconds or until 10 seconds when the game is won by the count switch 564, whichever comes first, and the blades 562a and 562b are once closed. After that, it is opened again, and this opening operation is repeated up to 16 times. Normally, 15 game balls are paid out as winning balls for one winning game ball, so when one big hit state occurs, about 2400 (= 15 × 10 × 16) A game ball can be obtained as a prize ball. This prize ball discharge operation is executed by the prize ball control board 531. I will omit the explanation.

  According to the fifth embodiment described above, as a result of the player launching a game ball aiming for a prize at the specific prize opening 551, the spilling ball may win the blade operation holes 561a to 561c. As a result, there is a possibility that a right may be generated mainly by winning a prize to the V passing opening 559 in accordance with winning a prize to the specific winning opening 551, and sometimes due to winning from the blades 562a and 562b, the passage to the V passing opening 569 There is a possibility that rights may be generated, and the player's expectation is further increased. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy both the jackpot based on the probability and the jackpot based on the skill of the player, and an excellent effect is achieved that it is possible to provide game contents rich in creativity. Sometimes, you can enjoy timeless games by aiming directly at the blade operation ports 561a to 561c. The blade operating ports 561a to 561c have an advantage that the base is not increased because the blade operation ports 561a to 561c have a gauge configuration that is awarded only occasionally. However, there is a possibility that the number of prize balls may increase by winning the blades 562a and 562b. Then, the special electric accessory 560 is released due to the first condition or the second condition, so that the skill of the game is required to some extent and the element of carrying is also included, and the preference is further enhanced. Although the winning probability at the specific winning opening 551 is set higher than the winning probability at the blade operating openings 561a to 561c, conversely, the winning probability at the specific winning opening 551 is set as a winning at the blade operating openings 561a to 561c. It may be set lower than the probability and the main game and the sub game may be replaced.

  In addition, what reverse | inverted the vertical positional relationship of the blade | wing operation | movement port (2nd type starting port) 561a, 561b, 561c can also be implemented. Moreover, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, in the 5th Embodiment, the change form which employ | adopted the passage port corresponding to FIG. 5 (a), (b) of 1st Embodiment is also feasible similarly.

  A pachinko machine according to a sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. This embodiment is basically the same as the fifth embodiment except that a fever function is added, that is, a special symbol display device 632, a normal electric accessory 636 as a first type starting port, and the like are added. The blades 662a and 662b are opened and closed by the electric accessory 636. Therefore, the description and illustration of the common constituent elements will be described mainly with reference to the fifth embodiment with reference to the fifth embodiment. Note that the part numbers shown in the figure are the corresponding parts of the first embodiment in the 600s, and description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the main configuration of the pachinko machine according to the sixth embodiment is a specific winning opening 651 at the upper center part, a rotary pitching device 650 for receiving a game ball winning in the specific winning slot 651, a rotary entering Special electric combination 660 provided in the lower part of the ball device 650, three in the lower region of the special electric combination 660, and blade operation ports 661a and 661b which are second type start ports arranged in a triangular shape , 661c, an ordinary electric accessory 636 serving as a first type starting port, an out port 641 at the bottom of the board surface, various other winning ports, a windmill, a game nail (not shown), and the like. The special electric accessory 660 includes a pair of blades 662a and 662b and a V-passing port 669 that function as a big prize opening at the top, and the blades 662a and 662b are opened and closed due to winning of the blade operation ports 661a, 661b, and 661c. It comes to work.

  As shown in FIG. 21, blade operating ports 661a, 661b, 661c are arranged in a triangular shape in the lower region of the special electric accessory 660, and the ordinary electric accessory 636 is arranged in the lower region of the blade operating port 661b. The gauge configuration is to frequently win the blade operation ports 661a, 661b or 661c, which are the second type starting ports, and sometimes win the ordinary electric accessory 636, which is the first type starting port, and the blade operation ports 661a, 661b. , 661c may miss the winning ball in the ordinary electric accessory 636.

  The electrical configuration of the pachinko machine according to the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. The electrical circuit of the pachinko machine of the sixth embodiment is substantially the same as that of the fifth embodiment, but the switches are slightly changed. That is, on the input side of the main control board 630, a full switch 643, a replenishment switch 644, a touch switch 624a, a special symbol operation switch 636a, a V switch 655, a prize ball payout switch 629a, a blade operation switch 663a, 663b, 663c, A count switch 664, a V switch 665, and the like are connected. Further, an external connection terminal board 640, blade solenoids 666a, 666b, and the like are connected to the output side of the main control board 630. The V switch 655 detects a game ball that has passed through the V passage 659. The count switch 664 detects all winning game balls from the blades 662a and 662b, and the V switch 665 detects the game balls that have passed through the V passage 669. In this embodiment, the special area is not provided, but the specific area may also be used as the special area. In this case, a V solenoid that opens and closes the special area is provided. Other explanations are the same as in the fifth embodiment.

  The operation of the pachinko machine according to the sixth embodiment will be described. The pachinko machine 10 executes the following operation so as to realize the game content mainly based on the behavior of the game ball and following the special symbol variation. That is, when the launched game ball wins from the specific winning opening 651 and the winning game ball is detected by the V switch 655, the game content advantageous to the player is provided as a big hit state. This is the first condition. On the other hand, if the game ball wins the blade operation port 661a, 661b, 661c, it is detected by the blade operation switch 663a, 663b or 663c and works to open the blades 662a, 662b for a predetermined time (within 0.9 seconds). If there is a prize from the blades 662a and 662b within the open period, the game ball flows down to the lower part of the special electric accessory 660, and the game ball passes or does not pass through the V passage 669 by the operation of the rotating body or the like To do. Whether or not the big hit state is reached is determined by whether or not the V passing port 669 is passed. This is the second condition. The special symbol is displayed on the screen of the special symbol display device 632 on the screen of the special symbol display device 632 for a predetermined period of time due to the winning of the ordinary electric accessory 636, and then the static symbol is displayed statically. 770 "etc. is displayed in a fixed manner. This is the third condition. Thus, when any one of the first condition, the second condition, and the third condition is satisfied, a big hit state is set, and the special electric accessory 660 is made advantageous to the player. In any case, the blades 662a and 662b are opened for about 30 seconds or until 10 seconds when it is detected by the count switch 664 that 10 game balls have been won, and the blades 662a and 662b are once closed. After that, it is opened again, and this opening operation is repeated up to 16 times. Normally, 16 game balls are paid out as winning balls for one winning game ball, so when one big hit state occurs, about 2400 (= 15 × 10 × 16) A game ball can be obtained as a prize ball. This prize ball discharge operation is executed by the prize ball control board 631. I will omit the explanation.

  According to the sixth embodiment described above, as a result of the player launching a game ball aiming for a prize at the specific prize opening 651, the player may win a prize at the specific prize slot 651. 661c may be won, and the ordinary electric accessory 636 may be won by a spilling ball that has failed to win the blade operating ports 661a to 661c. As a result, there is a possibility that rights may be generated mainly by winning at the V passing port 659 in accordance with winning at the specific winning port 651, and V passing by winning from the blades 662a, 662b part when the blades 662a, 662b are opened. Due to the passage to the mouth 669 or the confirmation of the display of a specific symbol among the special symbols associated with winning a prize to the ordinary electric accessory 636, a right may be generated from time to time, and the player's expectation is further increased. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy both the jackpot based on the probability and the jackpot based on the skill of the player, and an excellent effect is achieved that it is possible to provide game contents rich in creativity. Sometimes, you can enjoy timeless games by aiming directly at the blade operation ports 661a to 661c. Since the blade operation ports 661a to 661c have a gauge configuration that is awarded only occasionally, there is an advantage that the base does not increase. However, there is a possibility that the number of prize balls increases by winning the blades 662a and 662b. Since the special electric combination 660 is released due to the first condition, the second condition, or the third condition, the skill of the game is required to some extent and the element of carrying is also combined and further combined. The game is even more interesting.

  In addition, what reversed the vertical positional relationship of the normal electric accessory 636 and the blade operation ports (second-type start ports) 661a, 661b, 661c can be implemented. In addition, although not shown in the drawings, the sixth embodiment can be variously modified in the same manner as the first embodiment using the passage corresponding to FIGS. 5A and 5B. Furthermore, the main game is configured by the first condition, and the secondary game is configured by the second or third condition. However, the main game is configured by the second condition, and the secondary game is configured by the first or third condition. In addition, it is also possible to configure the main game according to the third condition and configure the secondary game according to the first or third condition.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and modifications and the like can be made without departing from the technical idea of the present invention. Etc. are also included in the technical scope of the present invention. For example, in the first and second embodiments, the special symbol display device may be separated from the electric accessory and provided in the external region of the electric accessory, or the special symbol operating port and the blade operating port may be adjacent to each other. The relative relationship of the positions can also be changed. The presence or absence of the probability variation function can be adopted as appropriate.
