Around the center tower 28, three medal ducts 62, 63, 64 are arranged for each of the game stations A1 to A4. The first duct 62 is disposed at a position below the first slit 34 a of the rotating plate 33, and the second duct 63 is disposed at a position below the second slit 34 b of the rotating plate 33. Proximity sensors 65a and 65b serving as detection means for detecting that the medal M has passed (dropped) are provided in the first and second ducts 62 and 63, respectively. A slope 67 is disposed at a position below the first and second ducts 62 and 63 so as to be lowered toward the outside.
The third duct 64 is disposed below the jackpot gate 31. A count hopper 68 is disposed below the third duct 64. A counter device 69 as a detecting means is disposed at a lower position of the count hopper 68, and the number of medals M that are inserted into the third duct 64 and reach the count hopper 68 when the jackpot gate 31 is opened. Count.
A payout hopper 70 is disposed downstream of the slope 67 and downstream of the counter device 69. The payout hopper 70 is communicated with the duct 71 of the medal payout opening 23. The medal M paid out from the payout hopper 70 is sent to the medal payout port 23 through the duct 71. The payout hopper 70 is provided with a counter, and the payout number of the payout medals M is accumulated.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the jackpot gate 31 is pivotally supported by a pivot shaft 72 at the upper edge of the third duct 64. A gate drive motor 73 attached to the center tower 28 is disposed at a position adjacent to the jackpot gate 31. The gate drive motor 73 includes a rod 74 extending upward, and the rod 74 advances and retreats as the gate drive motor 73 is driven forward and backward by a predetermined drive transmission system 75 provided along with the gate drive motor 73. It is supposed to be made. The tip of the rod 74 is connected to the rear end side of the jackpot gate 31 via a lever 77.
Since such a configuration is adopted, the jackpot gate 31 is disposed at a position where the third duct 64 is sealed when the rod 74 is advanced as shown in FIG. ), The jackpot gate 31 is opened upward about the rotation shaft 72 when the rod 74 is retracted, so that the medal M can be inserted into the third duct 64.

Next, an electrical configuration of the game machine 11 according to the present embodiment will be described. In addition, about the structure which is not directly related to this invention, it abbreviate | omits.
A controller C constituting a control means is provided for each gaming station A1 to A4. The controller C includes a central processing unit (CPU), a memory, an internal counter, and the like. As shown in FIG. 11, proximity sensors 45, 65 a, 65 b and a counter device 69 are connected to the controller C. Further, the decorative panel 14, the speaker device 25, the lighting panel 29, the digital display panel 30, the rotary plate drive motor 39, the solenoid 46, the dispensing hopper 70, the gate drive motor 73, and the like are connected to each other.
In the memory of the controller C, a game program for controlling the flow of the entire game of the game machine 11, a jackpot program for determining the jackpot establishment, and a medal calculation program for calculating the number of medals M to be given to the player as a profit A program for generating BGM according to the progress of the game as a sound effect and data for that purpose are stored. In addition, first and second jackpot lottery tables 78 and 79 used for determining the establishment of the jackpot, a reach state selection table (not shown), a random number acquisition program, and the like are stored.

Specifically, the controller C performs the following control.
The controller C turns on the decorative panel 14 and the lighting panel 29 based on an input of a main switch (not shown), and generates BGM from the speaker device 25. Further, the rotary plate drive motor 39 is driven to rotate the rotary plate 33 at a predetermined rotational speed.
The controller C causes the jackpot display unit 30a, the first gauge 30d, and the second gauge 30e of the digital display panel 30 to perform a predetermined variable display operation based on the output signals of the proximity sensors 65a and 65b. The jackpot magnification display section 30b and the gate opening number display section 30c are normally displayed as demos, and are controlled to display according to the contents of the jackpot when the jackpot is established.
The controller C counts the detection signal of the medal M passing detected by the proximity sensors 65a and 65b by the internal counter separately from the variable display operation control to the jackpot display section 30a, and once counts (that is, the medal M of the medal M). The number of inputs to the first and second slits 34a and 34b) is stored. Then, a jackpot lottery process is performed using the jackpot lottery table 78 for each count. At the same time, the payout hopper 70 is controlled to pay out two medals M every count. The number of payouts can be changed.

FIG. 12 shows an example of the first jackpot lottery table 78. The controller C takes out an arbitrary random number from “0” to “99” stored in the memory in accordance with the count number, and compares it with the first jackpot lottery table 78. For example, if “17” is taken out, it is out of place, and if “81” is taken out, it is a win (a jackpot is established). When the controller C determines that it is a win, the decorative panel 14 and the lighting panel 29 are blinked, and a sound to that effect is notified from the speaker device 25. And the gate drive motor 73 is drive-controlled and the jackpot gate 31 is opened. In this embodiment, one opening time is 3 times from the opening start to closing, and the interval is 1 second, and is performed a plurality of times depending on the result. The controller C executes opening / closing control corresponding to the number of random values extracted from the table 78. Then, the number of medals M inserted into the jackpot gate 31 opened during this period is calculated based on the detection signal detected by the counter device 69. In the table 78, the magnification is changed according to the extracted random number. For example, in the case of winning with “81”, the magnification is 5 times. Therefore, in the generated jackpot state, the controller C gives the number of medals M five times the number of medals M detected by the counter device 69 from the payout hopper 70. Control to make it pay out.
The controller C includes an internal counter corresponding to the second gauge 30e, and counts up and counts up according to the output of the detection signal from the proximity sensor 65b (that is, the insertion of the medal M into the second slit 34b). In the above calculation step, the magnification is further doubled on the condition that (six in this embodiment) is used. This counter is set to be cleared when the jackpot state is reached before counting up.

The controller C displays the result collated with the first jackpot lottery table 78 on the jackpot display unit 30a based on the reach state selection table (not shown). Although detailed description is omitted in this embodiment, a number corresponding to the address of the jackpot lottery table 78 is selected for each of the 7-digit LEDs displayed in three digits, and control is performed to stop display after random display in a predetermined order. To do. When a jackpot occurs, the same number corresponding to the address, for example, “7”, “7”, “7” is displayed, and when a jackpot does not occur, it is disengaged or a predetermined display of disengagement reach is displayed. When a jackpot is generated, the corresponding numbers in the first jackpot lottery table 78 are displayed on the jackpot magnification display section 30b and the gate opening count display section 30c, respectively.
When one jackpot (a player's phenomenon is a plurality of opening / closing operations of the jackpot gate 31) is completed, the controller C again takes out a random value based on the count number (one count minus). A routine for checking with the first jackpot lottery table 78 is executed.
Here, the controller C checks the past total number of medals M inserted and the total number of payouts to vary the probability of occurrence of jackpots. In the present embodiment, a second jackpot lottery table 79 as shown in FIG. 13 is prepared, and when the controller C determines that the number of payouts is large from the ratio of the two, the second jackpot lottery table 79 is compared. To change. In the second jackpot lottery table 79, since the random numbers “0” to “94” are out of place, the jackpot establishment probability decreases from 20% to 5%.
The total number of inserted medals M is counted based on the proximity sensor 45 provided in the medal rail 42.

Next, the operation of the game machine of the above embodiment will be described.
The player 16 places predetermined medals M in series in the medal holder 15, and pushes the last medal M along the medal holder 15 one by one into the medal insertion slit 16. The medal M dropped from the medal insertion slit 16 rolls on the rail surface of the medal rail 42 toward the rotating plate 33.
In this embodiment, the angle of the medal rail 42 is set so that the medal M falls on the circumference of the second slit 34 b formed in the rotating plate 33. Accordingly, if the rotation timing of the rotary plate 33 is matched, the rotary plate 33 is put into the second slit 34b. This angle can be changed. On the other hand, since the medal M has a forward rotational force, when it does not enter the second slit 34b, it rolls up on the slope of the rotary plate 33. At this time, if there is a first slit 34a on the advancing line, it is inserted into the first slit 34a. If it is not inserted into the first slit 34a, the medal M collides with the jackpot gate 31, falls down, slides down the rotating plate 33, and moves from the gap between the rotating plate 33 and the partition plate 27 to the mechanism portion 57. Falls to the side. The medals M that are inserted into the first and second slits 34 a and 34 b or slipped down from the rotating plate 33 are collected by the payout hopper 70.

When the medal M is inserted into one of the first and second slits 34a and 34b, the proximity sensors 65a and 65b detect the insertion, and the jackpot display unit 30a of the digital display panel 30 performs a variable operation. To do. Further, two medals M are paid out to the player from the payout hopper 70 to the medal payout port 23. If there are a plurality of inputs during the variable operation, they are stored and always notified to the player by turning on the LED of the first gauge 30d. In this embodiment, up to 8 inputs are stored. That is, even if nine or more medals M are inserted, it is ignored. Under the present circumstances, up to four of them are notified to the player by turning on the LED of the first gauge 30d. Therefore, even if 5 to 8 reservoirs exist, the first gauge 30d does not display.
The variable operation in the present embodiment is such that the 7-digit LED displaying three digits is stopped one by one in order and a predetermined numeric string is displayed as a stop symbol. The display mode is not limited to this. In the present embodiment, when a jackpot occurs, the same number string such as “1”, “1”, “1”, “7”, “7”, “7” is displayed as a stop symbol. When the jackpot is generated, the decorative panel 14 and the lighting panel 29 blink, and the speaker device 25 gives a sound notification to the effect that the jackpot is started. Then, the jackpot gate 31 is opened. Since the jackpot has a plurality of patterns depending on the number of medals M to be paid out and the number of times the jackpot gate 31 is opened and closed, the magnification is given to the player by the jackpot magnification display section 30b and by the number of opening and closing gate opening count display section 30c of the jackpot gate 31. Informed.
The player can obtain a large number of medals M by intensively inserting medals M into the gate 31 when the jackpot gate 31 is opened.

With this configuration, the following effects are achieved in the present embodiment.
(1) Usually, a profit (medal M) can be obtained steadily by playing a game in which the medal M is inserted into the first and second slits 34a, 34b of the rotating plate 33, and once a jackpot is generated. An unprecedented game machine 11 having the duality that a large amount of profit can be obtained is provided.
(2) Since the player cannot lead to a large amount of profit unless he / she actively inserts the medal M when the jackpot gate 31 is opened, the game is led by the player, so the game is very playable. Is expensive.
(3) Even if a jackpot occurs, there is a difference in the opening time of the jackpot gate 31 and the magnification at the time of payout. A lot of situations have to be thrown in and a situation in which there is a sufficient payout even if thrown relatively slowly), and the game form is not uniform and the fun is maintained.
(4) Since the gaming machine provider side (the so-called gaming hall side) can change the probability of occurrence of a jackpot while checking the past insertion amount and payout amount of medals M, too many medals M are paid out. Can be prevented.

The present invention may be embodied as follows.
The first and second jackpot lottery tables 78 and 79 in the above embodiment are merely examples. Therefore, the occurrence probability of the jackpot, the magnification of the medals M to be paid back, or the number of times the jackpot gate 31 is opened can be changed as appropriate.
-The opening time of the jackpot gate 31 can be changed as appropriate. In the above-described embodiment, the jackpot gate 31 is opened when the jackpot is established. However, in general, it is only necessary to obtain more profit when the jackpot is established, so that it is executed with another configuration. You are free to do.
A sphere such as a pachinko ball instead of the medal M may be used as a game medium.
The shape of the medal rail 42 is not limited to the above.
・ Profits do not need to be returned with medal M.
In order to obtain the first profit, the game plate is not limited to the configuration of the rotary plate 33 and the first and second slits 34a and 34b on the surface thereof. It is also possible to employ a game plate that advances and retreats without rotating.
In addition, the present invention may be implemented in a modified form without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
