  The start port SW410 corresponds to the first start port SW110a and the second start port SW111a in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the first start port 110 and the second start port 111 are provided depending on the type of gaming machine, but at least one for opening the honey 131 multiple times by a start prize is provided. It only has to be.

  The control unit 400 corresponds to the main control unit 310 shown in FIG. 3 and includes a movable body control unit 401 and an opening / closing control unit 402. The movable body control unit 401 positions the movable body 203 at the special passage guidance position or the normal passage guidance position when the start port SW410 detects a game ball and the honey 131 opens and closes a plurality of times under the control of the opening and closing control unit 402. Different ratios for each opening.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the number of times the honey 131 is opened and closed is two times when a game ball wins the second starting port 111. Note that the number of times of opening and closing the honey 131 is not limited to two, and may be three or more. However, in this case, the ratio at which the movable body 203 is located at the special passage guidance position or the normal passage guidance position may be varied for each opening.

  The ratio at which the movable body control unit 401 positions the movable body 203 at the special path guidance position or the normal path guidance position is arbitrary, but in the present embodiment, the first time the honey 131 is opened and closed, the normal path guidance position is set. While the ratio of positioning is increased, the ratio of positioning at the normal passage guiding position is lower when the second opening / closing of the honey 131 is performed than when the first opening is performed. Details of this will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  In this embodiment, the movable body control unit 401 controls the tilting state of the movable body 203 made of a rod-like member so that the movable body 203 is positioned at the normal path guidance position or the special path guidance position. Yes. Note that the control method of the movable body 203 is the control of the tilting state of the rod-shaped member because the shape of the movable body 203 is a rod-shaped member, but is not limited to this, and according to the shape of the movable body 203 Control.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the movable body control unit 401 opens and closes the second honey 131 by lowering the tilting speed of the movable body 203 at the normal passage guiding position when the first honey 131 is opened. In some cases, the tilting speed of the movable body 203 is increased so as to be positioned at the normal path guiding position or the special path guiding position. In particular, the movable body control unit 401 uses a stepping motor to control the speed of the movable body 203 so that it can tilt.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the movable body control unit 401 tilts the movable body 203 at a high speed when the honey 131 is opened or closed for the second time or later, the movable body control unit 401 performs the normal passage guidance position or special within each open period after the second time. The ratio of positioning at the passage guide position is made equal. Note that the ratios do not necessarily have to be equal. For example, the ratio of the time to be positioned at the special path guidance position is set to 7, the ratio to be positioned at the normal path guidance position is set to 3, for example, and a predetermined ratio. Is also possible.

(Operation timing of honey and movable body)
Next, the operation timing of the honeycomb 131 and the movable body 203 will be described with reference to FIGS. The second opening will be described. FIG. 5 is an operation timing chart of the honey 131 and the movable body 203 at the time of the second opening. FIG. 6 is an operation timing chart of the honey 131 and the movable body 203 at the time of the first opening. 7 to 10 are explanatory diagrams showing the operation of the movable body 203. FIG. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the opening / closing of the honey 131 is shown as the opening or closing of the upper prize winning opening 130.

  In FIG. 5, when the second start port SW111a of the second start port 111 detects winning of a game ball during the normal game, the output pulse 510 output from the second start port SW111a is turned on. Then, after a predetermined interval time elapses, the first half opening 501 for releasing the honey 131 for 0.4 seconds is performed. Further, after the 2.0 second pause period indicated by reference numeral 502, the second half release 503 is performed to release the honey 131 for 0.4 seconds. A combination of the first half opening 501, the pause period 502, and the second half opening 503 is a second opening 500.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the movable body 203 is positioned in a horizontal neutral position when the honey 131 of the upper prize winning opening 130 is in the closed state, and the honey 131 of the upper prize winning opening 130 is in the closed state. It starts moving when it becomes open. The direction in which the movable body 203 moves first is the direction in which the game ball won through the honey 131 is guided to the normal passage 202. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the movable body 203 rotates at a low speed in the right direction (clockwise direction) and is positioned at the normal path guiding position. The movable body 203 rotated to the right rotates and stops at the 4 o'clock position for 0.4 seconds, for example. The normal passage guiding position refers to the period from the neutral position (3 o'clock position) to the 4 o'clock position.

  Further, after the rotation of the movable body 203 stops at the 4 o'clock position, the movable body 203 rotates at a low speed in the left direction (counterclockwise direction) and is positioned at the neutral position, as shown in FIG. At this time, the honey 131 is in the closed state after the first half opening 501 is completed. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10, the movable body 203 rotates at a low speed in the left direction, and is positioned at a special path guidance position for guiding the game ball to the special path 201, for example, rotates to the 8 o'clock position and stops. . The special passage guidance position refers to the period from the neutral position (9 o'clock position) to the 8 o'clock position. The movable body 203 rotates to the right after the rotation of the movable body 203 stops at the 8 o'clock position, and again passes through the neutral position to guide the normal path at the 4 o'clock position shown in FIG. Located in position. The period from the start of the low-speed operation of the movable body 203 to this time (low-speed operation period) is 2.0 seconds.

  Then, the movable body 203 that has returned to the normal passage guidance position at the 4 o'clock position performs a high-speed operation that moves back and forth between the special passage guidance position and the normal passage guidance position every 0.2 seconds. This high speed operation is performed for 1.2 seconds. In addition, 0.4 seconds after the high-speed operation of the movable body 203 starts, the honey 131 starts the second half opening 503 for 0.4 seconds. During the second half opening 503 of the honey 131, the time during which the movable body 203 is located at the special passage guidance position is equal to the time during which the movable body 203 is located at the normal passage guidance position. In addition, 0.4 seconds after the end of the second half opening 503 of the honeycomb 131, the movable body 203 returns to the neutral position.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the first start port SW110a of the first start port 110 detects winning of a game ball, the output pulse 601 output from the first start port SW110a is turned on. And after predetermined | prescribed interval time passes, the 1st opening | release 600 which opens the honey 131 once for 0.4 second is performed. Note that the operation of the movable body 203 is the same as that in the second opening 500, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  With such a configuration, in the first half opening 501 of the second opening 500 and the first opening 600, the movable body 203 tilts from the neutral position to the normal passage 202 side for 0.4 seconds when the honey 131 is opened. It is usually located at the passage guide position. Therefore, in the first half opening 501 and the first opening 600 of the second opening 500, the game ball is guided to the normal passage 202.

  On the other hand, in the second half opening 503 of the second opening 500, the movable body 203 moves back and forth between the normal path guiding position or the special path guiding position for 0.4 seconds when the honey 131 is opened. By the operation of the movable body 203, in the second half opening 503 of the second opening 500, it is possible to distribute the game balls to the special passage 201 or the normal passage 202 with a half probability.

  In the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the time for positioning the movable body 203 at the special path guidance position and the time for positioning the movable body 203 at the normal path guidance position are made equal within the period of the second half opening 503. In an actual game, taking into account the time it takes for the game ball to be guided into the top prize winning opening 130 via the honey 131, the period from when the game ball enters the top prize winning opening 130 until it is discharged Should be made equal within. That is, for example, when it is assumed that it takes 0.1 second from the start of opening of the honey 131 until the game ball enters the upper prize opening 130, and it takes 0.5 second from the start of opening of the honey 131 to discharge, What is necessary is just to shift the operation | movement of the movable body 203 back 0.1 second within the open | release period of the honey 131. FIG.

  More specifically, the movable body 203 is positioned at the 4 o'clock position, which is the normal path guiding position, after 0.1 second from the start of opening of the honey 131, and the movable body 203 is passed after 0.3 second from the start of opening of the honey 131. Is positioned at the 8 o'clock position, and the movable body 203 may be positioned at the 4 o'clock position, which is the normal path guiding position, after 0.5 seconds have elapsed since the start of the opening of the honey 131.

  In the present embodiment, the operation speeds of the low speed operation and the high speed operation are not limited to those described above, and may be other speeds. However, even in such a case, in the latter half opening 503 of the second opening 500, the rate at which the movable body 203 is positioned at the special passage guiding position or the normal passage guiding position is set in advance within the period of the latter half opening 503. What is necessary is just to set it as the defined ratio.

  Further, when the game ball is won at the first start port 110 or the second start port 111, when the honey 131 is opened and closed three times or more, the timing for increasing the rate at which the movable body 203 is positioned at the special passage guiding position is 2 It is good also at the time of opening after the 3rd time, and good also at the time of opening after the 3rd time. In this case, for example, the ratio at which the movable body 203 is positioned at the special path guiding position for the second time may be further different from the ratio at which the movable body 203 is positioned at the special path guiding position for the third time and thereafter.

  In the present embodiment, the movable body 203 is initially positioned at the normal path guiding position. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be initially positioned at the special path guiding position. Good.

Next, a flowchart showing processing executed by the main control unit 310 of the game control unit 300 will be described. Note that the processing described below can be realized by the main CPU 311 executing a program stored in the ROM 312.

(Timer interrupt processing)
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a timer interrupt process executed by the main CPU 311. The main CPU 311 performs, as timer interrupt processing, random number update processing (step S1101), switch processing (step S1102), big prize opening processing (step S1103), movable body processing (step S1104), symbol processing (step S1105), award. The ball process (step S1106) and the output process (step S1107) are executed, and the process returns to the main process.

  Hereinafter, various processes executed by the main CPU 311 during the timer interrupt process will be described. Here, the big prize opening process and the movable body process will be described.

(First opening process of Kamidai prize opening)
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a first opening process of the upper prize winning opening 130 executed by the main CPU 311 in the normal gaming state. This flowchart shows the small hitting process performed by winning a game ball at the first start port 110.

  In FIG. 12, the main CPU 311 first determines whether or not a small hit is made (step S1201). If it is determined that a small hit is made (step S1201: Yes), whether or not an interval is in effect. Is determined (step S1202), and if it is determined that the interval is in progress (step S1202: Yes), it is determined whether or not the interval time has elapsed (step S1203). When it is determined that the interval time has elapsed (step S1203: Yes), the drain 131 of the top prize winning opening 130 is released (step S1204).

  Next, the main CPU 311 determines whether or not the opening time of the drain 131 of the upper prize winning opening 130 has passed a predetermined opening time (0.4 seconds) (step S1205), and the predetermined opening time has passed. If it is determined (step S1205: Yes), the top 131 of the top prize winning opening 130 is closed (step S1206), and the small hit is completed (step S1207).

  Thereafter, the process returns to the main process. If it is determined in step S1201 that no small hit is being made (step S1201: No), the process returns to the main process. If it is determined in step S1202 that the interval is not in progress (step S1202: No), the process proceeds to step S1205. Furthermore, if it is determined in step S1203 that the interval time has not elapsed (step S1203: No), the process returns to the main process. If it is determined in step S1205 that the predetermined opening time has not elapsed (step S1205: No), the process returns to the main process.

(Second opening process of Kamidai prize opening)
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a second opening process of the upper prize winning opening 130 that is executed by the main CPU 311 during the normal game. This flowchart shows the small hitting process performed by winning a game ball at the second start port 111.

  First, the main CPU 311 determines whether or not a small hit is made (step S1301). If it is determined that a small hit is made (step S1301: Yes), the main CPU 311 determines whether or not it is an interval. If it is determined (step S1302) that it is determined that it is during the interval (step S1302: Yes), it is determined whether or not the interval time has passed (step S1303). When it is determined that the interval time has elapsed (step S1303: Yes), the drain 131 of the top prize winning opening 130 is released (step S1304).

  Next, the main CPU 311 determines whether or not the first half opening time (0.4 second), which is the opening time of the first half opening, has elapsed (step S1305). When it is determined that the opening time has elapsed (step S1305: Yes), the drain 131 of the top prize winning opening 130 is closed (step S1306). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not a suspension period (2.0 seconds) has elapsed (step S1307). If it is determined that the suspension period has elapsed (step S1307: YES), the drain 131 of the upper prize winning opening 130 is released (step S1308).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the second half opening time (0.4 seconds) that is the opening time of the second half opening has elapsed (step S1309). If it is determined that the second half opening time has elapsed (step S1309: YES), the drain 131 of the top prize winning opening 130 is closed (step S1310). Thereafter, the small hit is finished (step S1311), and the process returns to the main process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1302 that the interval is not in progress (step S1302: No), it is determined whether or not the first half is open (step S1312). If it is determined that the first half is open (step S1312: YES), the process proceeds to step S1305. On the other hand, if it is determined that the first half is not open (step S1312: No), it is determined whether or not it is during a pause (step S1313). When it determines with it being during a rest period (step S1313: Yes), it transfers to step S1307. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not in the suspension period (step S1313: No), that is, when the latter half is being opened, the process proceeds to step S1309.

  If it is determined in step S1301 that no small hit is being made (step S1301: No), the process returns to the main process. If it is determined in step S1303 that the interval time has not elapsed (step S1303: No), the process returns to the main process. Furthermore, when it is determined in step S1305 that the first half opening time has not elapsed (step S1305: No), the process returns to the main process. If it is determined in step S1307 that the suspension period has not elapsed (step S1307: No), the process returns to the main process. Furthermore, when it is determined in step S1309 that the second half opening time has not elapsed (step S1309: No), the process returns to the main process.

(Movable body processing)
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the movable body processing in the upper prize winning opening 130 executed by the main CPU 311. In FIG. 14, the main CPU 311 determines whether or not a small hit is made (step S1401). If it is determined that a small hit is made (step S1401: Yes), whether or not an interval is in effect. A determination is made (step S1402). If it is determined that the interval is in progress (step S1402: Yes), it is determined whether the interval time has elapsed (step S1403).

  When it is determined that the interval time has elapsed (step S1403: Yes), the low-speed operation of the movable body 203 is started (step S1404). In addition, about the low speed operation | movement of the movable body 203, it is as having shown in FIGS. 5-10, ie, operation | movement performed between 2.0 seconds after the honey 131 is open | released. Next, it is determined whether or not the low speed operation time has elapsed (step S1405). If it is determined that the low speed operation time has elapsed (step S1405: Yes), high speed operation is started (step S1406). The high-speed operation of the movable body 203 is as shown in FIGS. 5 to 10, that is, the operation performed after 2.0 seconds have elapsed since the honey 131 is released.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the high-speed operation time (1.2 seconds) has elapsed (step S1407). If it is determined that the high-speed operation time has elapsed (step S1407: Yes), the operation of the movable body 203 is stopped. Then, the process returns to the main process (step S1408). If it is determined in step S1401 that the game is not a small hit (step S1401: No), the process returns to the main process. Furthermore, when it is determined in step S1403 that the interval time has not elapsed (step S1403: No), the process returns to the main process.

  If it is determined in step S1402 that the interval is not in progress (step S1402: No), it is determined whether low-speed operation is in progress (step S1409). If it is determined that the low speed operation is being performed (step S1409: YES), the process proceeds to step S1405. When it is determined that the low speed operation is not being performed (step S1409: No), the process proceeds to step S1407.

  If it is determined in step S1405 that the low-speed operation time has not elapsed (step S1405: No), the process returns to the main process. If it is determined in step S1407 that the high-speed operation time has not elapsed (step S1407: No), the process returns to the main process.

  According to the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the embodiment described above, the movable body 203 is located at the special passage guidance position or the normal passage guidance position by the first release of the honey 131 and the second release of the honey 131. Since the ratio is made different, the V winning probability can be made different for each opening. Therefore, a pachinko gaming machine with high interest can be provided to the player.

  In addition, the ratio of the movable body 203 that is positioned at the normal passage guidance position when the first opening / closing of the honey 131 is increased is higher than that at the first opening when the honey 131 is opened / closed. Since the ratio to be played is lowered, the V winning probability can be increased at the second and subsequent releases compared to the first release. Therefore, the degree of expectation for winning a prize at the second start port 111 can be increased, and therefore, interest can be enhanced.

  Further, by controlling the tilting state of the movable body 203 made of a tiltable rod-like member, the movable body 203 is positioned at the normal path guiding position or the special path guiding position. V winning probabilities can be made different for each. In addition, since the game balls are allocated according to the tilting state of the movable body 203, it is easy for the player to visually recognize the game balls, and a sense of expectation can be given at the time of distribution.

  Further, when the first honey 131 is opened, the tilting speed of the movable body 203 is set to the normal path guiding position at a low speed, and when the honey 131 is opened and closed for the second time, the tilting speed of the movable body 203 is set to the high speed. Since it is located at the guidance position or the special passage guidance position, the V winning probability can be varied for each short-time release.

  In addition, when the movable body 203 is tilted at a high speed when the honey 131 is opened / closed for the second time, the ratio of being positioned at the normal path guidance position or the special path guidance position within the second and subsequent opening periods is made equal. The game balls can be guided to a normal passage or a special passage at an equal rate. Therefore, since it is not known each time the game ball is guided to each passage, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation every time it is opened.

  Further, since the movable body 203 is tilted using the stepping motor, the movable body 203 can be moved smoothly and at high speed, and various operations can be realized.

  In the present embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 100 corresponding to the above-mentioned old two types has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the function of the honey that corresponds to the old second type is described. If so, for example, the present invention can also be applied to a pachinko gaming machine in which a digipachi type (old one type) and an old two types are mixed.

  As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the V winning probabilities can be made different for each opening, and thus a pachinko gaming machine with high interest is provided to the player. be able to.
