The special game state lottery part S ₁ has a rolling part 32 on the upper side for rolling the game ball taken when the opening and closing member 20 is opened and guided to the normal route 26. Using a game ball that has been moved and moved, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to shift from a normal game state to a special game state that is advantageous to the player. In order to execute the lottery, the special game state lottery unit S ₁ receives a flow guide unit 43 for flowing down the game ball taken into the center role 22 and a game ball flowing down the flow guide unit 43. It has a winning decision unit 28 that is movably supported at a position (solid line position in FIG. 2) and a second position that cannot be received (position rotated to the left or right in FIG. 2).

  The special game state in the present embodiment means a state in which one round until the attacker 24 opens and closes is repeated, for example, three times, seven times, or fifteen times. The game ends when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the attacker 24. The number of rounds in the special gaming state and the number of top-filled winning balls within one round are not limited to the above, but can be changed as appropriate according to the design.

Winning determination unit 28 is supported to a rear end to a rotary shaft 40a of the drive motor 40 disposed on the back side of the special game state lottery section S ₁ in the center won game 22, the forward and reverse direction of the drive motor 40 By the rotation, the first position and the second position are alternately and repeatedly rotated. In addition, the winning determination unit 28 is provided with a continuation sensor 45 that allows a game ball dropped from the flow down guide unit 43 to pass through the passage hole 45a and obtains a V winning detection signal. A stage 29 that receives the game balls that have entered the winning confirmation unit 28 is arranged below the winning confirmation unit 28, and the game balls that have fallen from the winning confirmation unit 28 are placed in the lottery operation below. dropping hole 29a for dropping the part S ₂ is formed.

Lottery operation section S ₂ is upon winning a special game state lottery section S _1, it performs a mechanical drawing operation by the game ball that contributed to the relevant election artificially. To perform this pseudo lottery, lottery operation section _{S 2} is provided with a circular Kroon portion 30 for rotational movement of the game balls accepted from special game state lottery section _{S 1,} Nyutamaana 35a, 35b, 35c, 35d, 35e, 35f, a display unit 30c, and electromagnets 44a, 44b, 44c, 44d, 44e, 44f.

  The cruising portion 30 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape having a short vertical direction as a whole, and an upper surface 30a inclined so as to descend slightly toward the front (left direction in FIG. 3, frontward direction in FIG. 4), and the upper surface 30a And an outer peripheral surface 30b formed over the outer periphery. On the front side of FIG. 4 on the upper surface 30a, the entrance holes 35a to 35f have a predetermined distance along the outer peripheral surface 30b so as to be able to receive a game ball that rotates and moves along the outer peripheral surface 30b of the crune part 30. It is arranged with a gap. This predetermined distance is not necessarily constant and may be a random distance. Further, on the upper surface 30a, electromagnets 44a to 44f are connected to the game ball rolling path inside the outer peripheral surface 30b and the ball entering holes 35a to 35f so as to correspond to the ball entering holes 35a to 35f, respectively. It is embedded below 34a, 34b, 34c, 34d, 34e, 34f, respectively. Each of the communication paths 34a to 34f is inclined so as to be slightly lowered toward the corresponding entrance holes 35a to 35f.

  The electromagnets 44a to 44f function as a control unit so that the game ball rolling in the cruising unit 30 along the outer peripheral surface 30b can be stopped at a position corresponding to the lottery result by the CPU 62a as the electric lottery unit. The on / off operation is performed based on the signal of the CPU 62a. In other words, the electromagnets 44a to 44f attract and stop the game ball when turned on (excitation), and then release the game ball when turned off (demagnetize) and pass through the corresponding communication paths 34a to 34f. Then, it is dropped into the ball entering holes 35a to 35f. In addition, 3R, 15R, and 7R, which are different types of continuation patterns, are displayed by printing or the like on the display portion 30c provided on the outer wall of the outer peripheral surface 30b so as to correspond to the respective entrance holes 35a to 35f. . In other words, “3R” is in the entrance hole 35a, “15R” is in the entrance hole 35b, “7R” is in the entrance hole 35c, “3R” is in the entrance hole 35d, and the entrance hole 35e. “15R” is displayed in correspondence with “7R” in the entrance hole 35f. The game ball stopped by excitation of any one of the electromagnets 44a to 44f falls to the corresponding one of the entrance holes 35a to 35f through the communication paths 34a to 34f at the stop position.

The stage 29 is configured to discharge the game ball (Ba ₁ ) from the drop hole 29a toward the tangential direction of the circumference as shown by the arrow A with respect to such a cruising portion 30. The played game balls further roll (Ba ₂ , Ba ₃ , Ba ₄ , Ba ₅ ) as indicated by arrows B, C, D, and E, and the arrows B, C, Rolls repeatedly as indicated by D and E. Even if the momentum weakens to some extent, the game ball always moves to the near side of the upper surface 30a (close to the electromagnets 44a to 44f) along the inclination of the upper surface 30a, and is thus stopped by the excitation of the electromagnets 44a to 44f. There is no problem.

  The entrance holes 35a to 35f are not provided with entrance detection sensors, and an electromagnet (any one of 44a to 44f) at a position corresponding to a lottery result by the CPU 62a as an electrical lottery unit is excited to play. When the ball is sucked and stopped, the game ball is simply dropped and discharged to the back side of the game board 11.

As described above, the lottery operation section _{S 2} is provided with a circular Kroon portion 30, and a ball entrance hole 35a~35f arranged with a predetermined distance, the continuous pattern so as to correspond to the input ball hole 35a~35f The display unit 30c that displays the type and a plurality of electromagnets 44a to 44f that are turned on and off so that the game ball can be stopped at a position corresponding to the lottery result of the CPU (electric lottery unit) 62a. Thereby, the structure which can stop a game ball to a specific position by the on / off of electromagnets 44a-44f is implement | achieved by the comparatively simple structure which cannot raise a cost increase.

  Next, the control system of the pachinko machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an overall control system of the pachinko machine 1. That is, this control system is configured by a game control device 60 and other peripheral devices such as an effect control device 69 and a prize ball control device 61.

  The game control device 60 is realized by an accessory control unit (not shown) mounted on the back surface of the game board 11, and is a gaming microcomputer 62 composed of a one-chip microcomputer for performing an accessory control necessary for pachinko games and the like. And a clock generation circuit (CLK) 63 that obtains a predetermined clock by dividing the oscillation frequency of the crystal, and an input / output interface 64 that inputs and outputs various signals. The gaming microcomputer 62 includes a CPU 62a, ROM 62b, and RAM 62c, and is used as an LSI for an amusement chip.

  Detection signals from winning sensors 65, 66, 67, winning sensors A1, A2, winning sensor 73, and continuation sensor 45 are input to the input / output interface 64 of the game control device 60, respectively. Here, the winning sensor 65 is a sensor that detects a winning to the starting chucker 13, the winning sensor 66 is a sensor that detects a winning to the starting chucker 14, and the winning sensor 67 is a winning to the starting chucker 15. The winning sensor 73 is a sensor that detects a winning at the specific winning opening 19, and the winning sensors A1 and A2 are sensors that respectively detect the winning at the general winning openings 16 and 17, respectively. . The continuation sensor 45 is a sensor that detects a game ball that has won a prize (V prize) in the winning confirmation unit 28 among the game balls that have won the center bonus 22 (that is, outputs a V prize detection signal).

  On the other hand, from the input / output interface 64, the sound output device 68 that emits sound and drives the sound output device 8 to perform output control such as sound effects, effect control that controls the effect illumination device 23, the symbol display device 31, and the like. Device 69, launch control device 71 for controlling launch device 72, prize ball control device 61, first opening / closing solenoid 38 for opening / closing the opening / closing member 13a of starting chucker 13, and opening / closing member 20 for opening / closing member 20 of specific winning opening 19 A signal is output to each of the two opening / closing solenoids 39 and the drive motor 40 that rotates the winning determination unit 28.

  The signal output to the prize ball control device 61 is a signal of prize ball control information, and this prize ball control information is information such as prize ball number information and discharge conditions. Based on the prize ball control information input from the game control apparatus 60, the prize ball control apparatus 61 performs a control for driving the discharge unit (not shown) to discharge the game balls. That is, when the game control device 60 detects a winning by the winning sensor 65, the winning sensor 66, the winning sensor 67, the winning sensors A1 and A2, and the winning sensor 73 provided in each winning opening of the game area 11a, Information on the number of winning balls set in advance corresponding to the winning value of the mouth is transmitted to the winning ball control device 61. Then, the prize ball control device 61 performs prize ball discharge control corresponding to the received prize ball number information.

When the V winning detection signal is input, the CPU 62a of the gaming microcomputer 62 determines the number of rounds in the ROM 62b for continuously opening and closing the attacker 24 with the jackpot confirmation (that is, confirmation of the transition to the special gaming state). It is determined by software lottery from the first to third continuation pattern data. That, CPU 62a is configured to constitute an electrical drawing unit carries out electrically lottery continuation pattern of special game state when winning in the special game state lottery section S _1, mechanical drawing operation in the drawing operation section S ₂ Is configured so as to correspond to the lottery result by the electrical lottery unit (62a). Therefore, any one of the 3 round continuation pattern, the 7 round continuation pattern, and the 15 round continuation pattern is determined by the electrical lottery section (62a). In addition, when the transition to the special game state is confirmed by entering the winning confirmation unit 28, various light emission / display effects such as the effect lighting device 23 and the symbol display device 31 by the game control device 60 are performed in a timely manner. The CPU 62a continuously drives the winning determination unit 28 left and right at a constant cycle from the time when the main power supply of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on at the time of opening a game hall equipped with the pachinko machine 1 or the like. Turn back and forth.

  That is, the continuation pattern is incorporated as data in the ROM 62b of the gaming microcomputer 62, and is the first continuation pattern data corresponding to 3 rounds (3R) and the second continuation pattern corresponding to 7 rounds (7R). Three types of data, the third continuation pattern data corresponding to 15 rounds (15R), are prepared. The first continuation pattern is a pattern in which the operation (one round) of opening the attacker 24 for a predetermined time and closing when a predetermined number of balls are won when entering the entrance hole 35a is continued three times. The 2 continuation pattern is a pattern in which the above operation (1 round) is continued 7 times, and the third continuation pattern is a pattern in which the above operation (1 round) is continued 15 times.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described. That is, when a player seated facing the pachinko machine 1 grasps the launch handle 9 and rotates it to an appropriate angle, the launch control device 71 controls the launch device 72 based on the pivot angle, With the operation of the launching device 72, the game balls are continuously launched into the game area 11a at predetermined time intervals. Then, when the game ball which is launched into the game area 11a and rolls down is won by the normal symbol lottery triggered by the entrance to the start chuckers 14 and 15, the general winning ports 16 and 17, or the through gate 36 The starter chucker 13 or the like that is opened at a time is awarded in a timely manner, or rolled down without being involved in these, and discharged from the out port 18 to the back side of the game board 11.

  When the game ball that has followed each path described above wins the starting chucker 14 or the starting chucker 15, the opening / closing member 20 of the specific winning opening 19 performs an opening / closing operation for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). In addition, even when the starter chucker 13 that has been won and released in the normal symbol lottery is won, the opening / closing member 20 of the specific winning opening 19 performs an opening / closing operation for a predetermined time. When the specific winning opening 19 is opened in this way, among the game balls flowing down in the vicinity of the specific winning opening 19, those that match the opening / closing timing of the opening / closing member 20 are taken into the center accessory 22 from the specific winning opening 19. It is.

  The game balls introduced into the center combination 22 are distributed to either the normal route 26 or the special route 27 in the distribution unit 19a and detected by the winning sensor 73. At this time, when the game ball is distributed to the normal route 26 side, the game ball is guided to the rolling unit 32 and moves down the rolling unit 32, and some can enter the flow down guide unit 43. Instead, it simply falls and is discharged from the discharge port (not shown) to the back side of the game board 11, and a certain thing enters the flow guide part 43. On the other hand, when the game balls are distributed to the special route 27 side, the game balls are directly guided to the flow guide unit 43 and flow down to the winning determination unit 28 side along the flow guide unit 43.

  The game ball guided to the flow guide unit 43 from either the normal route 26 or the special route 27 has the winning determination unit 28 reciprocatingly rotated between the first position and the second position at the second position. If it falls when it is in the position, it will be discharged from the outlet (not shown) to the back of the game board 11, but if it falls in a timely manner when it is in the first position, it will jump into the winning confirmation unit 28 and be detected by the continuation sensor 45. Then, a V winning detection signal is output, thereby confirming the transition to the special gaming state.

The game ball that has entered the winning confirmation unit 28 is continuously released in the direction of arrow A from the drop hole 29a of the stage 29 to the cruising unit 30. Thereby, the game ball rolls until it stops as shown by arrows B, C, D, and E. At this time, since the electrical lottery unit of the CPU 62a has already determined the continuation pattern by electrical (soft) lottery immediately after entering the winning determination unit 28, the control unit of the CPU 62a mechanical drawing operations artificially performed in S _2, so as to correspond to the determined continuous pattern, it is energized by turning on the corresponding ones of the electromagnets 44 a to 44 f. In this case, if, for example, 15 rounds are determined as the continuation pattern, the CPU (control unit) 62a excites both the electromagnets 44b and 44e and moves the rolling game ball into the entrance hole 35b. The electromagnets 44b and 44e are demagnetized immediately after the stop by adsorbing them to any of the holes 35e. Thereby, a game ball falls in either the entrance hole 35b or the entrance hole 35e along the inclination of the connection path 34b or the connection path 34e. Then, in the transitioned special game state, a prize ball corresponding to the number of winnings to the attacker 24 that opens and closes according to the determined number of rounds is paid out from the ball supply port 10 to the dish unit 13, so that the player You will get a prize ball.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the special game state lottery unit S ₁ mechanically performs a lottery to determine whether or not to shift to the special game state by using the game ball, and when the lottery is won, in part S _2, it performs a mechanical drawing operation by the game ball that contributed to the relevant election artificially, by CPU (electrical lottery section) 62a, electrically performs lottery continuation pattern of special game state, CPU the (control unit) 62a, and controls so as to correspond to the lottery result of the electric drawing unit mechanical drawing operation in the drawing operation section S _2. As a result, the player who is playing the game while watching the flow of the game balls in the center object 22 is made to feel that the special game state lottery is mechanically performed by the game balls. It is possible to realize a situation in which a continuation pattern lottery is mechanically performed using a ball.
