Here, in order to generate two initial value generation random number counters for generating the initial values of the common figure winning random number counter and the special figure random number counter, and the common figure timer random number value and the special figure timer random number value, respectively. 2 random number counters are updated. For example, if the range of values that can be taken as normal timer random numbers is 0 to 20, a value is acquired from a random number counter storage area for generating a normal timer random value provided in the RAM 308, and 1 is added to the acquired value. Then, it is stored in the original random number counter storage area. At this time, if the result of adding 1 to the acquired value is 21, 0 is stored in the original random number counter storage area. Other initial value generation random number counters and random number counters are similarly updated. The main control unit 300 repeatedly executes the process of step S104 except during the main control unit timer interrupt process starting at predetermined intervals.

  <Main controller timer interrupt processing>

  Next, the main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of main controller timer interrupt processing.

  The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms), and triggers the main control unit timer interrupt processing at a predetermined cycle. Start.

  In step S <b> 201, the value of the input port of the I / O 310 is acquired and the state of the various sensors 318 is detected. For example, a signal from a sphere detection sensor that outputs an ON signal when it is detected that a sphere has entered the first and second special figure starting ports 126 and 128 is input. Signals from the corresponding ball detection sensors are also inputted to other winning prize openings, starting openings, and the like. The result input in step S201 is stored in a signal state storage area provided for each sensor in the RAM 308.

  In step S202, the software random number counter is updated. Here, two random number counters for generating each of the win-win random numbers and special-use random numbers used in the main control unit 300, and the initial values of the win-win random numbers and special-use random numbers are generated. For updating the two initial value generation random number counters.

  In step S203, winning detection is performed based on the state of the signals input from the various sensors in step S201 described above. In this winning detection, when there is a winning (winning) in the general winning opening, the number of winning balls predetermined for each winning opening is added to the value of the winning ball number storage area provided in the RAM 308. If there is a prize at the first special figure starting port 126 or the second special figure starting port 128 and the number of special figure variable games held is less than 4, the counter corresponding to the winning starting port The special figure winning random number value is acquired from the counter value storage register of the circuit 316b, and the special figure random number value is acquired from the random number counter for generating the special figure random value. These special figure winning random numbers and special figure random values are stored in a random value storage area provided in the RAM 308. In addition, when it is detected that the ball has passed through the general figure starting port 124, and the number of the general figure variable games held is less than two, the random number counter for generating the normal figure winning random number value at that timing Is obtained as a random number value for winning a normal figure, and stored in a random value storage area different from that for the special figure provided in the RAM 308.

  In step S204, a process related to a special figure variable game (a special figure related process) is performed. In this special figure related process, when the special figure variable game and variable winning a prize opening 130 are not controlled, and the number of special figure variable games held is one or more, the main control unit 300 Of various lotteries using predetermined various data tables to be stored, the big hit determination is first performed.

  Specifically, it is determined whether or not the special figure winning random number value stored in the random value storage area in step S203 is within the numerical range of the lottery data in the jackpot determination table, and the special figure winning random value is the numerical value of the lottery data. If it is within the range, it is determined that the special figure variable game is won and the jackpot flag is set to ON. On the other hand, if the special figure winning random number value is outside the numerical range of the lottery data, it is determined that the special figure variable game is out and the jackpot flag is set to OFF.

  If the jackpot flag is set to ON, then the probability variation transition determination is performed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the special figure random value stored in the random value storage area in step S203 is within the numerical range of the transition determination random number, and when the special figure random value is within the numerical range of the lottery data. Sets the probability variation flag ON, and sets the probability variation flag OFF when the special figure random number value is outside the numerical range of the lottery data.

  Regardless of the result of the jackpot determination, the process for determining the timer number is performed next. Specifically, the value of the random number counter for generating the special figure timer random value is acquired as the special figure timer random value. Based on the value of the jackpot flag and the acquired special figure timer random number value, a timer number corresponding to the numerical range of the timer selected random number is selected and stored in the timer number storage area provided in the RAM 308. Further, the variation time corresponding to the timer number is stored in the variation time storage area provided in the RAM 308, and the process is terminated. At this time, in consideration of 2 ms which is the start cycle of the main control unit timer interrupt processing, a value obtained by multiplying the selected variation time value by 500 (1000 ms / 2 ms) is set in the variation time storage area. Thus, every time the timer update process (step S208) described later is executed, the value of this variable time storage area is subtracted by 1, so that the time elapses depending on the number of executions of the main control unit timer interrupt process. It is possible to measure.

  Further, in the special figure fluctuation related processing that starts at the timing when the value of the fluctuation time storage area is changed from 1 to 0, the special symbol based on the jackpot flag is set to be displayed on the special figure display device 321. Thereafter, the display is set to be maintained for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 msec). With this setting, the special figure is stopped and displayed, and the result of the special figure variable game is notified to the player.

  Further, in the special figure fluctuation-related processing that starts at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends, when the jackpot flag is on, a predetermined winning effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a jackpot by the display device 110 is started. It sets so that it may wait for the period which is displaying the image which alert | reports to a player.

  Further, in the special figure fluctuation-related processing that starts at the timing when the predetermined winning effect period ends, a predetermined number of gaming balls (for example, ten balls) are awarded to a predetermined opening period (for example, 29 seconds or the variable winning opening 130). It sets so that the signal which hold | maintains a door member in an open state may be output to the solenoid 330 for the opening / closing drive of the door member of the variable prize opening 130 until it detects.

  Further, in the special figure fluctuation-related processing that starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends, the door member is attached to the solenoid 330 for opening and closing the door member of the variable winning opening 130 for a predetermined closing period (for example, 1.5 seconds). It is set to output a signal that is held in the closed state.

  Then, in the special figure variation-related processing that starts and closes the opening / closing control of the door member a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 rounds), a predetermined end effect period (for example, 3 seconds), that is, a jackpot by the display device 110 Is set to wait for a period during which an image for notifying the player of the end of the game is displayed.

  Also, in the special figure fluctuation-related processing that starts at the timing when the predetermined end effect period ends, if the number of special figure fluctuation games that are pending is one or more, the next special figure fluctuation game such as the jackpot determination described above is executed. Start. The number of special figure variable games that are held is stored in the special figure hold number storage area provided in the RAM 308, and the number of special figure variable games that are held every time a big hit determination is made. The value obtained by subtracting 1 is stored again in this special figure reservation number storage area.

  In step S205, a process related to a general map variable game (a general map related process) is performed. In this general map-related process, when the open / close control of the general map variable game and the second special figure start port 128 is not performed, and the number of the general map variable games held is 1 or more, Make a hit judgment.

  Specifically, it is determined whether or not the winning random number value stored in the random value storage area in step S203 is within the numerical range of the lottery data in the predetermined determination table. If it is in the numerical range, it is determined that the normal game is won and the winning flag is set to ON. On the other hand, when the usual winning random number is outside the numerical value range of the lottery data, it is determined that the usual figure variable game is out of play and the winning flag is set to OFF.

  Regardless of the result of the hit determination, processing for determining the timer number is performed next. Specifically, the value of a random number counter for generating a normal timer random value is acquired as a normal timer random value. Then, a timer number is selected based on the number of reserved balls in the usual game and the obtained ordinary timer random number value, and stored in a timer number storage area provided in the RAM 308. Further, the variation time corresponding to the timer number is stored in the variation time storage area provided in the RAM 308, and the process is terminated.

  Further, in the common figure-related processing that starts at the timing when the value of the above-mentioned variable time storage area for normal maps is changed from 1 to 0, when the hit flag is on, the above-mentioned normal map is displayed on the general map display 323. 1. When the hit flag is off, the setting is made so as to display the above-mentioned FIG. 2, and thereafter, the display is set to be maintained for a predetermined stop display period (for example, 500 msec). With this setting, the usual figure is stopped and the result of the usual figure variable game is notified to the player.

  Further, in the common figure-related processing that starts at the timing when the predetermined stop display period ends, when the hit flag is on, the blades of the second special figure starting port 128 are opened and closed for a predetermined opening period (for example, 2 seconds). The drive solenoid 330 is set to output a signal for holding the blades in an open state.

  Further, in the common figure-related processing which starts at the timing when the predetermined opening period ends, a signal for holding the blades in the closed state is output to the solenoid 330 for opening and closing the blades of the second special figure starting port 128. In addition to the setting, the solenoid 330 for opening / closing driving is set to hold the closed state of the blades for a predetermined closing period (for example, 500 msec).

  Also, in the general chart-related processing that starts at the timing when the predetermined closing period has passed, when the number of pending general chart variable games is 1 or more, the next common figure variable game such as the above hit determination process is started. To do. In addition, the number of pending general figure variable games is stored in the usual figure pending number storage area provided in the RAM 308, and from the number of pending custom figure variable games each time a hit determination is made. The value obtained by subtracting 1 is re-stored in the usual figure number-of-holds storage area.

  In step S206, a control command (effect command) is transmitted to effect control unit 350. The control command includes a change start command that is transmitted when the jackpot determination is made in step S204, a change stop command that is transmitted when the value of the change time storage area is 1 to 0, and a jackpot. There are a jackpot start command to be transmitted when the jackpot flag is set in the determination, round start information to be transmitted at each start of the predetermined release period, etc., and the variation start command has a variation time (for example, a selected timer number). ), Probability variation flag on / off information, jackpot flag on / off information, etc., and the round start command includes information indicating the number of times the variable winning opening 130 is opened after the jackpot is started (for example, the number of rounds) ) Etc. Also, a payout command is transmitted to the payout control unit 400. This payout command includes the number of prize balls based on the value of the prize ball number storage area described above.

  In step S207, the various solenoids 330 are driven to control the opening / closing of the second special figure starting port 128 and the variable winning port 130, and the game information stored in the RAM 308 is sent to the pachinko machine via the information output circuit 334. 100 is output to an information input circuit 550 that is separate from 100. In addition, display data to be output to the special figure display device 321, the universal diagram display device 323, various state display units 326, and the like via the display circuits 322, 324, and 328 is set in the output port of the I / O 310.

  In step S208, the special symbol display device 321 and the normal symbol display device 323 measure the time for changing / stopping the symbols, the predetermined winning effect time, the predetermined opening time, the predetermined closing time, the predetermined end effect period, and the like. Various timers including timers for updating are updated.

  In step S209, the voltage monitoring circuit that monitors the voltage value of the power source supplied from the power management unit 500 to the main control unit 300 outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that the voltage has dropped when the voltage value is equal to or lower than a predetermined value. Whether or not a power-off is detected. If a power-off is detected, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery is displayed. The return data is saved in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, and power interruption processing such as initialization of the input / output port is performed.

  <Effects of the first prize opening and the second prize opening>

  Next, the operation of the first winning port 121 and the second winning port 122 will be described. Hereinafter, only the first winning port 121 and the second winning port 122 arranged in the left portion of the gaming area 104 will be described, and the first winning port 121 and the second winning port 122 arranged in the right portion of the gaming area 104 will be described. As for the second winning opening 122, the left and right are simply interchanged, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  FIGS. 6A and 6B are enlarged views of a part of the left side portion of the game area 104. FIG. As described above, the first winning port 121 and the second winning port 122 are arranged close to each other. A plurality of game nails 134 and a hitting direction changing member 132 are disposed around these. In the present embodiment, both the opening portion 121A of the first winning port 121 and the opening portion 122A of the second winning port 122 are opened substantially vertically upward. More specifically, the first winning port 121 and the second winning port 122 are such that the uppermost part of the periphery of the opening 122A of the second winning port 122 is the periphery of the opening 121A of the first winning port 121. The rail frame 106 side end of the opening 122A of the second winning port 122 is located below the uppermost part, and the end of the first winning port 121 is 121. Is also disposed on the rail frame 106 side.

  The game balls 101 launched into the game area 104 collide with the game nails 134 and the hitting ball direction changing member 132 from above, and some of them fall toward the left side of the game area 104 while rolling. Then, as shown in FIG. 6A, the game ball 101 that has fallen from an appropriate direction reaches the vicinity of the first winning opening 121, and some of the game balls 101 are indicated by broken arrows in the figure. As shown in the drawing, the player enters the first winning opening 121 from the opening 121A, that is, enters the first winning opening 121 (wins). Then, most of the game balls 101 fall in the right direction or the left direction in the figure without entering the first prize opening 121. At this time, the game ball 101 that has deviated to the right from the first winning hole 121 falls to the lower part of the center of the game area 104, so if it falls in an appropriate direction, There is a case where the player enters the first special figure starting port 126, the second special figure starting port 128, or the variable winning opening 130. In other words, even if the game ball 101 deviating to the right is deviated from the first winning port 121, it leaves the other starting port or winning port, and there is a possibility that a predetermined privilege is given to the player. Therefore, the player gazes at the whereabouts of the game ball 101 with expectation.

  On the other hand, as shown by the solid arrow in the figure, the game ball deviated to the left falls along the rail frame 106 and the decorative member 135 if the second winning opening 122 is not provided. The ball enters the out port 136. In other words, the game ball 101 that deviates leftward from the first winning opening 121 can enter another start opening or winning opening if the second winning opening 122 is not provided. Since there is no sex, it has been discouraging players and significantly reducing the fun of the game.

  Further, if the second winning opening 122 is not provided, the game ball 101 deviated to the left only falls along the rail frame 106 and the decoration member 135, and the movement of the game ball 101 However, this point also contributed to a decrease in the fun of the game.

  In the present embodiment, by arranging the second winning port 122 below the first winning port 121 and on the rail frame 106 side, as shown in FIG. The game ball 101 deviating from the left 121 is left in the second prize opening 122, and the game interest can be enhanced. In addition, by arranging the second winning opening 122 close to the first winning opening 121, the game ball 101 that has left the first winning opening 121 can immediately enter the second winning opening 122. Therefore, the player can be quickly relieved (the player feels that the game ball that has once left the winning opening has been relieved by winning another winning opening). In addition, it is possible to give a force and unexpectedness to the movement of the game ball 101 in the vicinity of the first winning opening 121, attract the player's attention, and enhance the interest of the game.

  The second winning opening 122 does not include a member that can be freely opened and closed, and the opening 122A is fixed to a predetermined opening area. Therefore, since the opening 122A is always open, the second winning port 122 always maintains a state in which the game ball 101 outside the first winning port 121 can enter. That is, the player can always be rescued.

  In addition, general winning openings such as the first winning opening 121 and the second winning opening 122 are usually provided in order to suppress the gambling of the game table. In other words, by coexisting a large profit from entering the variable winning opening 130 during the jackpot game and a small profit from entering the general winning opening, the fluctuation range of the player's earned profit is reduced, and the game table The main purpose is to set the gambling ability of the game appropriately. For this reason, it is necessary to provide an appropriate number of general winning holes on the game table. On the other hand, in recent years, with the increase in size of liquid crystal display devices, decorative members, movable members, and the like disposed in the game area, the space for disposing general winning holes tends to decrease. As a result, the number and arrangement of the general winning awards are restricted, so that the movement of the falling game balls becomes uniform, and there is a problem that the interest of the game is lowered.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the first winning port 121 and the second winning port 122 are arranged close to each other, and the second winning port 122 is arranged below the first winning port 121 and on the rail. By arranging it on the side of the frame 106, it becomes possible to provide an appropriate number of general winning holes even in a narrow arrangement space in a recent game machine. The movement of the game ball can be surprising and powerful.

  Here, the number of winning balls by winning in the first winning slot 121 and the number of winning balls by winning in the second winning slot 122 may be equal or different. For example, when the second winning opening 122 is arranged close to the first winning opening 121 and the winning probability to the second winning opening 122 is increased, the second winning opening is set. The number of winning balls for winning 122 may be set to be smaller than the number of winning balls for winning the first winning opening, and in this way, the gambling of the gaming table is set appropriately. Can do.

  In addition, although the opening part 121A of the first prize opening 121 and the opening part 122A of the second prize opening 122 described above are opened substantially vertically upward, the present embodiment is limited to this. It is not a thing. 7 (a) and 7 (b) are enlarged views of a part of the left side of the game area 104, with the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 facing obliquely upward on the rail frame 106 side. Shows the case. As shown in the figure, the second winning opening 122 may be arranged so that the opening 122A is opened obliquely upward to the left (obliquely upward on the rail frame 106 side). By arranging the second winning opening 122 in this way, the game ball 101 deviating leftward from the first winning opening 121 as shown by the solid arrow in FIG. It is possible to increase the possibility of entering the second winning port 122.

  In particular, the game nail 134A is disposed at an appropriate position in front of the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122, and is made to collide with the game nail 134A as shown in FIG. It is possible to increase the possibility that the game ball 101 that has deviated from the prize winning port 121 enters the second prize winning port 122. In addition, the game ball 101 collides with the game nail 134A, so that the movement of the game ball 101 in the vicinity of the first winning port 121 and the second winning port 122 can be powerful and unexpected.

  In addition, depending on which part of the game area 104 the first winning opening 121 and the second winning opening 122 are arranged, or depending on the shape, size, or arrangement of the display device 110 and the decorative member 135, the first winning opening 121 You may make it open the opening part 121A of the winning opening 121, and the opening part 122A of the 2nd winning opening 122 toward directions other than the direction mentioned above. FIGS. 8A and 8B are diagrams showing an example in which the opening 121A of the first winning port 121 and the opening 122A of the second winning port 122 are opened in other directions. . As shown in FIG. 6A, the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121 is opened obliquely upward on the center side of the game area 104, and the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 is railed. You may make it open toward diagonally upward on the frame 106 side. Also, as shown in FIG. 5B, the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121 is opened obliquely upward on the center side of the gaming area 104, and the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 is opened. May be opened substantially vertically upward.

  The “game area center side” in the present invention refers to the right side when the first winning port 121 and the second winning port 122 are arranged in the left part of the gaming area 104. This means that when the first winning port 121 and the second winning port 122 are arranged on the right side of the game area 104, it means the left side.

  As described above, the pachinko machine 100 according to the present embodiment has the game area 104 whose outer periphery is surrounded by the rail frame 106 and the openings 121A and 122A into which the game balls enter, and is arranged in the game area 104. A game platform that provides a predetermined privilege to a player when a game ball enters the game port 121, 122, and is arranged close to each other. 1 winning port 121 and second winning port 122, and the second winning port 122 is disposed below the first winning port 121 and closer to the rail frame 106 than the first winning port 121. Therefore, the rail frame 106 side has fewer points that can be reached compared to the center side of the board surface, so that the ball that failed to enter the first prize opening 121 and moved toward the rail frame 106 side Giving you a chance to remedy quickly , It is possible to suppress the impulsive anger of the player.

  Further, the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 is disposed below the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121 and closer to the rail frame 106 than the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121. Therefore, the player can be swiftly relieved by setting the opening position of the second winning port 122 below the first winning port 121 and on the rail frame 106 side.

  In addition, the uppermost part of the peripheral edge of the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 is positioned below the uppermost part of the peripheral part of the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121, and the opening of the second winning opening 122 Since the end of 122A on the rail frame 106 side is positioned closer to the rail frame 106 than the end of the opening 121A of the first prize opening 121 on the rail frame 106 side, the position of the upper end of the opening The player can be swiftly relieved by positioning the one end position of the second winning port 122 below the first winning port 121 and on the rail frame 106 side.

  Further, the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 is an opening fixed to a predetermined opening area, and a game ball can always enter, so that the player can always be rescued.

  In addition, the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121 opens substantially vertically upward, and the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 opens obliquely upward on the rail frame 106 side. Alternatively, the opening portion 121A of the first winning opening 121 is opened obliquely upward on the center side of the gaming area 104, and the opening portion 122A of the second winning opening 122 is inclined upward on the rail frame 106 side. Open toward. Alternatively, the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121 opens obliquely upward on the center side of the gaming area 104, and the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 opens substantially vertically upward. . Alternatively, the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121 opens substantially vertically upward, and the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 opens substantially vertically upward.

  For this reason, since the ball deviated to the first winning port 121 often hits one of the game nails 134 and bounces back into the second winning port 122, the opening 122A of the second winning port 122 is formed in the rail frame 106. By adjusting the orientation of the openings 121A, 122A, such as being provided obliquely upward, the player can easily enter the second winning port 122, and quick relief to the player is further ensured.

  In addition, when a game ball enters the first winning port 121, the second privilege is given to the player, which is more advantageous than when the game ball enters the second winning port 122. By reducing the profit at the time of entering the winning opening 122, even if the probability of entering the second winning opening 122 is increased, gambling is not improved, and more relief is possible.

  Next, a pachinko machine according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. The pachinko machine according to the present embodiment is obtained by applying the third prize opening 123 in addition to the first prize opening 121 and the second prize opening 122 to the pachinko machine 100 according to the first embodiment. The structure is the same as that of the pachinko machine 100 according to the first embodiment. For this reason, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings, and the description thereof is omitted. Hereinafter, only the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 will be mainly described. .

  <Overall configuration>

  FIG. 9 is a schematic front view showing a state in which the game area 104 of the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment is viewed from the front (player side). As shown in the figure, on the game board 102, a rail frame 106 for preventing a game ball rolling in the game area 104 from jumping out of the game area 104 is provided along the outer periphery of the game area 104. It is arranged. The rail frame 106 is doubled on the left side of the game area, and a portion between the double rail frames 106 is connected to a launch passage 108 through which a game ball launched from the launch device passes.

This display device 110 is a display device for displaying information related to symbol variation display and games, and is constituted by a liquid crystal display device in this embodiment. Furthermore, although not shown in the figure, a normal symbol display device and a special symbol display device composed of a 7-segment LED, a normal symbol hold lamp, a special symbol hold lamp, and a high accuracy medium lamp are arranged at the lower right of the display device 110. is doing. Hereinafter, the normal symbol may be referred to as a normal symbol and the special symbol may be referred to as a special symbol.

  Further, around the display device 110, there are a first winning port 121, a second winning port 122 and a third winning port 123, which are general winning ports, a normal start port 124, and a first special diagram start port. 126, a second special figure starting port 128, and a variable winning port 130 are provided.

  In the present embodiment, the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are arranged close to each other on the left side portion of the game area 104. More specifically, the first winning opening 121 is disposed slightly below the left side of the display device 110. The second winning opening 122 is substantially in contact with the first winning opening 121 at a position below the first winning opening 121 and on the rail frame 106 side (left side of the first winning opening 121). The third winning opening 123 is arranged below the first winning opening 121 and at the center side of the gaming area 104 (right side of the first winning opening 121). The second winning opening 122 is disposed in substantially contact with the second winning opening 122.

  Note that the arrangement of the first prize opening 121, the second prize opening 122, and the third prize opening 123 is not limited to the above-described arrangement. For example, the third prize opening 123 is used as the second prize winning opening. You may make it arrange | position below the opening | mouth 122 and the rail frame 106 side (left side of the 2nd prize winning opening 122).

  Further, in this embodiment, only the first winning opening 121 is arranged on the right side of the game area 104 slightly below the right side of the display device 110. The prize winning port 121, the second prize winning port 122, and the third prize winning port 123 may be arranged close to each other.

  In the present invention, “proximity” means that any two of the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are in contact with each other, or a game is played between them. It means that the ball is close enough to not pass. In addition, the “rail frame side” in the present invention is the left side when the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are arranged in the left portion of the game area 104. In the case where the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are arranged in the right portion of the game area 104, it means the right side. . Further, the “game area center side” in the present invention means that the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are arranged on the left side of the gaming region 104. In the case, it means the right side, and when the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are arranged in the right part of the gaming area 104, the left side I mean.

  When a predetermined ball detection sensor (not shown) detects a ball entering the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, or the third winning port 123, which is a general winning port (first winning port 121) , In the case of winning in the second winning port 122 or the third winning port 123), a payout device to be described later is driven, and a predetermined number (10 in this embodiment) of balls is discharged as a winning ball to the storage tray 144. To do. The ball discharged to the storage tray 144 can be freely taken out by the player, and with these configurations, the prize ball is paid out to the player based on the winning. Note that the balls that have entered the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, or the third winning port 123 are guided to the back side of the pachinko machine 100 and then discharged to the game island side.

  <Operation of the first prize opening, the second prize opening and the third prize opening>

  Next, the operation of the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 will be described.

  FIGS. 10A and 10B are enlarged views of a part of the left side portion of the game area 104. FIG. As described above, the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are arranged close to each other. A plurality of game nails 134 and a hitting direction changing member 132 are disposed around these. In the present embodiment, the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121 opens substantially vertically upward, and the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 faces obliquely upward to the left (diagonally upward on the rail frame 106 side). The opening 123 </ b> A of the third prize opening 123 opens obliquely upward to the right (diagonally upward on the center side of the game area 104).

  More specifically, the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are arranged such that the uppermost part of the periphery of the opening 122 A of the second winning port 122 is the first winning port 121. The end of the opening 122A of the second winning port 122 is located on the rail frame 106 side end portion of the opening 121A of the first winning port 121. Further, the uppermost part of the periphery of the opening 123A of the third winning port 123 is located on the periphery of the opening 121A of the first winning port 121 so that the rail frame 106 is positioned closer to the rail frame 106 side. The center side end of the gaming area 104 at the periphery of the opening 123A of the third winning opening 123 is located below the topmost portion of the gaming area 104 at the periphery of the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121. The center of the game area 104 rather than the center side edge It is arranged so as to be positioned on the side.

  The opening 121A of the first winning opening 121, the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122, and the opening 123A of the third winning opening 123 are limited to those opening in the above-described direction. Instead, it may be opened in another direction. That is, in which part of the game area 104 the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are arranged, or the shapes, sizes, or the like of the display device 110 and the decoration member 135 You may make it open the opening part 121A, the opening part 122A, and the opening part 123A toward the appropriate direction according to arrangement | positioning.

  The game balls 101 launched into the game area 104 collide with the game nails 134 and the hitting ball direction changing member 132 from above, and some of them fall toward the left side of the game area 104 while rolling. Then, as shown in FIG. 10A, the game ball 101 that has fallen from an appropriate direction reaches the vicinity of the first winning opening 121, and some of the game balls 101 are indicated by broken arrows in the figure. As shown in the drawing, the player enters the first winning opening 121 from the opening 121A, that is, enters the first winning opening 121 (wins). Then, most of the game balls 101 fall in the right direction or the left direction in the figure without entering the first prize opening 121.

  At this time, as shown by the broken-line arrows in the figure, the game ball 101 that has deviated from the first winning port 121 and deviated to the left is assumed to be a rail if the second winning port 122 is not provided. The ball falls along the frame 106 and the decorative member 135 and enters the out port 136. In other words, the game ball 101 that deviates leftward from the first winning opening 121 can enter another start opening or winning opening if the second winning opening 122 is not provided. Since there is no sex, it has been discouraging players and significantly reducing the fun of the game.

  Further, if the second winning opening 122 is not provided, the game ball 101 deviated to the left only falls along the rail frame 106 and the decoration member 135, and the movement of the game ball 101 However, this point also contributed to a decrease in the fun of the game.

  On the other hand, as indicated by the solid line arrow in the figure, the game ball deviated in the right direction then drops down below the center of the game area 104, so if it falls in an appropriate direction, the first There is a case where the player enters the special figure starting port 126, the second special figure starting port 128, or the variable winning port 130. In other words, even if the game ball 101 deviating to the right is deviated from the first winning port 121, it leaves the other starting port or winning port, and there is a possibility that a predetermined privilege is given to the player. ing. However, in many cases, the game ball 101 deviating in the right direction passes through the right side of the first winning port 121 and falls downward. In such a case, the third winning port 122 is provided. If it is not, there is no possibility of entering the other starting and winning holes, and there is no force or unexpectedness in the movement of the game ball 101. The situation was similar to that of the game, which discouraged players and significantly reduced the fun of the game.

  In the present embodiment, a game ball that has deviated leftward from the first winning port 121 by disposing the second winning port 122 below the first winning port 121 and on the rail frame 106 side. In 101, the possibility of entering the second prize opening 122 remains, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the game. Further, by arranging the third winning port 123 below the first winning port 121 and at the center of the game area 104, as shown in FIG. The game ball 101 that deviates 121 and moves to the right and falls down as it is is left with the possibility of entering the third winning port 123, thereby enhancing the fun of the game.

  In addition, by arranging the second winning port 122 and the third winning port 123 in the vicinity of the first winning port 121, the game ball 101 that is out of the first winning port 121 immediately becomes the second winning port 121. Since the possibility of entering the winning hole 122 or the third winning hole 123 is increased, it is possible to make the player feel like being quickly rescued. In addition, it is possible to give a force and unexpectedness to the movement of the game ball 101 in the vicinity of the first winning opening 121, attract the player's attention, and enhance the interest of the game.

  In addition, the game nail 134A is disposed at an appropriate position in front of the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122, and the game nail 134B is disposed at an appropriate position in front of the opening 123A of the third winning opening 123. Then, by making the game ball 101 collide with the game nail 134A or the game nail 134B, the game ball 101 that has deviated from the first winning port 121 enters the second winning port 122 or the third winning port 123. Can increase the likelihood of doing so. Furthermore, when the game ball 101 collides with the game nail 134A or the game nail 134B, the movement of the game ball 101 in the vicinity of the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 is It can be surprising.

  Furthermore, by appropriately adjusting the interval between the two game nails (hereinafter referred to as life nails) 134C respectively disposed immediately before the left and right end portions of the opening portions 121A to 123A of the general winning ports 121 to 123, You can set the ease of entering each winning opening. For example, by equalizing the interval of the life nail 134C of the second prize opening 122 and the interval of the life nail 134C of the third prize opening 123, it is possible to easily enter the second prize opening 122 and the third Ease of entering the winning opening 123 can be made substantially the same. In other words, the probability that the next winning is possible can be set to be substantially the same when the game ball 101 that has deviated from the first winning opening 121 deviates in the right direction and deviates in the left direction. In addition, the first prize opening 121 was disengaged by making the interval between the second prize opening and the third prize opening 123 the life nail 134C larger than the distance between the first prize opening 121 and the life nail 134C. The game ball 101 can be set to enter the second winning port 122 or the third winning port 123 with a higher probability.

  The second winning port 122 and the third winning port 123 are not provided with an openable / closable member or the like, and the openings 122A and 123A are fixed to a predetermined opening area. Therefore, since the openings 122A and 123A are always open, the game ball 101 outside the first winning opening 121 is always maintained in a state where it can enter. That is, the player can always be rescued.

  Also, general winning ports such as the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are usually provided in order to suppress the gambling of the game table. In other words, by coexisting a large profit from entering the variable winning opening 130 during the jackpot game and a small profit from entering the general winning opening, the fluctuation range of the player's earned profit is reduced, and the game table The main purpose is to set the gambling ability of the game appropriately. For this reason, it is necessary to provide an appropriate number of general winning holes on the game table. On the other hand, in recent years, with the increase in size of liquid crystal display devices, decorative members, movable members, and the like disposed in the game area, the space for disposing general winning holes tends to decrease. As a result, the number and arrangement of the general winning awards are restricted, so that the movement of the falling game balls becomes uniform, and there is a problem that the interest of the game is lowered.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are arranged close to each other, and the second winning port 122 is set to the first winning port. In recent years, the third prize opening 123 is disposed below the mouth 121 and on the rail frame 106 side, and the third prize opening 123 is disposed below the first prize opening 121 and at the center of the game area 104. It is possible to provide an appropriate number of general winning holes even in a small arrangement space on the game table, and to set the gambling of the game table appropriately and to make the movement of the falling game ball surprising and powerful Can be.

  Here, the number of winning balls for winning in the first winning slot 121 and the number of winning balls for winning in the second winning slot 122 or the third winning slot 123 may be equal or different. It may be allowed. For example, by arranging the second winning port 122 and the third winning port 123 in the vicinity of the first winning port 121, the winning probability to the second winning port 122 or the third winning port 123 is increased. In such a case, the number of winning balls for winning in the second winning opening 122 or the third winning opening 123 is set to be smaller than the number of winning balls for winning in the first winning opening. In this way, the gambling nature of the game stand can be set appropriately.

  FIG. 11A is a diagram showing the arrangement of the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are arranged close to each other and inscribed in one circumference. ing. More specifically, the second winning port 122 and the third winning port 123 are relative to the central axis A of the opening 121A of the first winning port 121 (the axis indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 11A). Are arranged substantially line-symmetrically. The opening 121A of the first winning opening 121 is opened substantially vertically upward, and the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 is approximately 55 from the central axis A of the opening 121A to the rail frame 106 side. The opening 123A of the third prize opening 123 opens toward the direction inclined approximately 55 degrees from the central axis A of the opening 121A toward the center of the game area 104. Yes. Furthermore, the rail frame side end of the periphery of the opening 121A of the first winning port 121 and the center side end of the gaming area 104, the rail frame side end of the periphery of the opening 122A of the second winning port 122, In addition, the center side end of the gaming area 104 at the periphery of the opening 123A of the third prize opening 123 is arranged on the same circumference. In the present embodiment, the central axis A of the opening 121A is a substantially vertical line.

  If the second winning port 122 and the third winning port 123 are disposed so as to be tilted too much, there is a problem that the game ball that has entered the ball does not smoothly roll to the discharge port. On the contrary, if the inclination of the second winning opening 122 and the third winning opening 123 is made too small, the vertical space is made large when the second winning opening 122 and the third winning opening 123 are brought close to each other. Therefore, there is a problem that the space occupied by the three general winning ports 121 to 123 becomes large. For this reason, the inclination angle of the opening direction of the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 or the opening 123A of the third winning opening is 30 degrees from the central axis A of the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121 to 30 degrees. It is preferably within a range of 85 degrees, and more preferably within a range of 40 degrees to 70 degrees from the central axis A of the opening 121A. Furthermore, in order to arrange the three general winning ports 121 to 123 in the most compact manner, it is desirable that the inclination angle is in the range of 50 to 60 degrees from the central axis A of the opening 121A.

  By arranging the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 in this manner, the space occupied by the three general winning ports 121 to 123 in the gaming area 104 is minimized. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the layout of various members arranged in the game area 104 is increased, and the attractive game area 104 can be easily designed.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a case where the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are disposed in an inclined manner. As shown in the drawing, the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 arranged in the left portion of the gaming area 104 are connected to the three winning ports 121-123. You may arrange | position so that it may incline to the rail frame 106 side, with a relative position as it is. Further, similarly to the above, the entire first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 may be inclined toward the center of the gaming area 104 in the reverse direction. In this case, the inclination angle in the opening direction of the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 or the opening 123A of the third winning opening is 30 degrees from the central axis A of the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121. It is preferably within a range of 85 degrees from the vertical line, and more preferably within a range of 40 degrees from the central axis A of the opening 121A to 70 degrees from the vertical line. Furthermore, in order to arrange the three general winning ports 121 to 123 in the most compact manner, it is desirable that the inclination angle is in the range of 50 degrees from the central axis A of the opening 121A to 60 degrees from the vertical line.

  FIG. 11B shows the arrangement of the outlets for discharging the game balls that have entered the first prize opening 121, the second prize opening 122, and the third prize opening 123 toward the back side of the pachinko machine. FIG. As shown in the figure, the discharge port 121B of the first winning port 121, the discharge port 122B of the second winning port 122, and the discharge port 123B of the third winning port 123 are inscribed in one circumference, respectively. Are arranged as follows. Further, the discharge port 122B of the second winning port 122 and the discharging port 123B of the third winning port 123 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the central axis A of the opening 121A of the first winning port 121. By arranging in this way, the space occupied by the discharge passages (not shown) for guiding the game balls from the respective discharge ports 121B to 123B and the respective discharge ports 121B to 123B to the back side of the pachinko machine can be minimized. . Therefore, the degree of freedom of arrangement of each part inside the pachinko machine is increased, and the design and manufacturing costs of the pachinko machine can be reduced.

  In addition, by connecting the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 to each other and using a common discharge port, the general winning ports 121 to 123, the discharge port are further provided. In addition, the space occupied by the discharge passage can be reduced. Moreover, it becomes possible to reduce manufacturing cost by integrally molding the three general winning ports 121-123. FIG. 13A is a diagram illustrating a case where the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are connected to each other. As shown in the figure, the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 are respectively connected and integrated at the end opposite to the opening. One discharge port 121B is provided inside the connection portion. Thereby, not only the game ball entered from the opening 121A of the first winning port 121 but also the game ball entered from the opening 122A of the second winning port 122 or the opening 123A of the third winning port 123. Will be discharged from one outlet 121B toward the back side of the pachinko machine.

  Further, the check valve 200 may be disposed inside the connected general winning ports 121 to 123. FIG. 13B is a diagram illustrating an example in which the check valve 200 is disposed inside the connected general winning ports 121 to 123. As shown in the figure, in this example, two check valves are arranged slightly on the left and right sides of the discharge port 121B.

  The check valve 200 includes a movable valve 200A suspended so as to be swingable in the left-right direction, and a stopper 200B that is disposed on the side of the movable valve 200A and restricts the swing of the movable valve 200A. The stopper 200B is disposed on the opening 122A side (left side) of the second winning port 122 with respect to the movable valve 200A in the left check valve 200, and the stopper valve 200B with respect to the movable valve 200A in the right check valve 200. It is arranged on the opening 123A side (right side) of the third prize winning port 123. As a result, the movable valve 200A can swing only on the discharge port 121B side in both the left and right check valves 200.

  FIGS. 14A and 14B are views showing the operation of the check valve 200. FIG. As shown in FIG. 6A, for example, the game ball 101 that has entered from the opening 122A of the second winning port 122 first collides with the movable valve 200A of the left check valve 200. Then, since the movable valve 200A can swing toward the discharge port 121B, the game ball 101 can roll in the direction of the discharge port 121B by pushing the movable valve 200A. And when the momentum of the game ball 101 is good, as shown in FIG. 5B, the game ball 101 tries to roll past the discharge port 121B to the opening 123A of the third winning port 123. However, the game ball 101 collides with the movable valve 200A of the right check valve 200, and since this movable valve cannot swing in the direction of the opening 123A, it is pushed back toward the discharge port 121B. Thus, the game ball 101 is discharged from the discharge port 121B toward the back side of the pachinko machine without jumping out from the opening 123A.

  In this way, the check valve 200 enters the ball from any one of the openings 121A to 123A and reaches the vicinity of the discharge port 121B. The game ball 101 reaches the opening 122A of the second winning port 122 or the third winning prize. It is prevented from rolling toward the opening 123A of the mouth 123. That is, the game ball 101 entering from any one of the openings 121A to 123A is prevented from jumping out from any of the openings 121A to 123A to the game area 104.

  As described above, the pachinko machine according to the present embodiment has the game area 104 whose outer periphery is surrounded by the rail frame 106, and the openings 121 </ b> A and 122 </ b> A into which the game balls enter, and is arranged in the game area 104. A game platform that provides a predetermined privilege to a player when a game ball enters the game port 121, 122, and is arranged close to each other. The second winning port 122 is disposed below the first winning port 121 and closer to the rail frame 106 than the first winning port 121. Since it is a gaming machine and further includes a third winning port 123 disposed close to either the first winning port 121 or the second winning port 122, quick relief to the player is more reliable. become. Further, since the first, second, and third winning ports 121 to 123 are provided close to each other, it is possible to arrange the winning ports without taking a relatively large game area.

  Further, since the third winning opening 123 is disposed below the first winning opening 121 and closer to the center of the gaming area 104 than the first winning opening 121, the third winning opening 123 is connected to the first winning opening 121. If the ball fails to enter the ball, it is possible to provide the player with a chance to receive quick relief regardless of the direction of the ball toward the rail frame 106 or the central portion of the game board 104. In addition, the game area 104 can be compressed by installing the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 close to each other. Further, when a plurality of winning holes are brought into contact with each other, the maximum value at which all the winning holes can be brought into contact is “3”. It is possible to arrange a winning opening without the need.

  Further, since the opening 123A of the third winning opening 123 opens obliquely upward on the center side of the gaming area 104, the ball deviated from the first winning opening 121 hits any of the game nails 134 and bounces back. Often enter the third prize opening 123. By providing the opening 123A of the third prize opening 123 obliquely upward toward the center of the game board, it becomes easier to enter the third prize opening 123, Quick relief to the player is more certain.

  In addition, the distance between two game nails (a life nail in the present embodiment) 134B disposed in front of the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 and the opening 123A of the third winning opening 123 are disposed in front. Since the interval between the two game nails 134B arranged is equal, the nail width is the same, so that even if the ball faces either way, relief can be performed with the same probability. If there is a rank, not the same probability, if the ball goes to the inferior one, some players will be angry and hit the game table etc. There is also.

  In addition, when a game ball enters the first winning port 121, the player can receive the predetermined privilege more advantageous than the case where the game ball enters the second winning port 122 or the third winning port 123. Therefore, by reducing the profit when entering the second winning opening 122 or the third winning opening 123, the probability of entering the second winning opening 122 or the third winning opening 123 is increased. However, gambling is not improved and more relief is possible.

  Further, the opening 123A of the third winning opening 123 is an opening fixed to a predetermined opening area, and a game ball can always enter, so that the player can always be relieved.

  Further, since the second winning port 122 and the third winning port 123 are disposed substantially symmetrically with respect to the central axis A of the opening 121A of the first winning port 121, the first winning port 121 is provided. If the ball enters the rail frame 106 side or the center side of the game board 104 in the case of failure to enter the ball, it is possible to provide the player with an equal chance of receiving relief. It becomes.

  The opening 121A of the first winning opening 121 opens substantially upward, and the opening 122A of the second winning opening 122 is formed on the rail frame 106 side of the opening 121A of the first winning opening 121. The opening 123A of the third winning opening 123 opens from the central axis A to a direction inclined by 30 degrees or 85 degrees from the vertical line. The opening 123A of the first winning opening 121 is located at the center of the gaming area 104. Since the opening opens from the central axis A of 121A to a direction inclined by 85 degrees from 30 to the vertical line, the space occupied by the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122, and the third winning port 123 is reduced. Can do. Further, the game balls that have entered the second winning port 122 or the third winning port 123 can be smoothly guided to the discharge ports 122B and 123B without being retained.

  In addition, the rail frame 106 side end of the periphery of the opening 121A of the first winning port 121 and the center side end of the game area 104, and the rail frame side end of the periphery of the opening 122A of the second winning port 122 In addition, since the central portion side end of the gaming area 104 at the periphery of the opening 123A of the third winning port 123 is arranged on substantially the same circumference, the first winning port 121, the second winning port 122 and The space occupied by the third winning opening 123 can be reduced, and the degree of freedom in layout design of various members arranged in the game area 104 can be increased.

  In addition, a discharge port 122B that discharges a game ball that has entered the second winning port 122 and a discharge port 123B that discharges a game ball that has entered the third winning port 123 are openings of the first winning port 121.
