Next, the gaming operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described.
First, in the normal gaming state, the player plays a game aiming at the game area on the left side of the game board 1. Here, when a game ball wins in the first start opening 5, a time lottery that is a winning lottery and a bonus game is performed. As a result of the winning lottery, when the big win is won, the first special winning symbol display device 10 displays the big winning symbol and the first big winning game for opening the open / close door of the lower prize winning device 8 is executed. As the first big hit game, for example, until the door of the lower prize-winning device 8 is opened for a certain period or until a predetermined number (for example, nine) of game balls wins in the lower prize-winning device 8 An opening operation with a period of 1 round is repeated 15 rounds. When a game ball wins the lower grand prize device 8, for example, 15 prize balls are paid out per winning.
In the winning lottery in the normal game state, when the big win is won, the first short-time game (100 times) is always selected after the first big win game regardless of the short-time lottery result.

On the other hand, as a result of the winning lottery when the game ball is won at the first starting port 5, if the winning is a small win, the small special symbol display is displayed on the first special figure display 10 and the top large winning device 2 An opening / closing operation for changing the movable pieces 3L, 3R to an open state for a predetermined number of times (for example, once) for a first predetermined time (for example, 0.4 seconds) is executed. When the game ball won in the upper prize winning device 2 during the opening / closing operation passes through the specific area 4, the second big hit game for opening and closing the movable pieces 3L, 3R of the upper prize winning device 2 is executed. As the second jackpot game, for example, the movable pieces 3L and 3R of the upper prize winning device 2 are opened and closed a predetermined number of times, or a predetermined number (for example, nine) of game balls are won in the upper prize winning device 8. The opening / closing operation with the period up to 1 round is repeated for a predetermined round. When a game ball wins the upper prize device 2, for example, 10 winning balls are paid out per winning.
After the second jackpot game is over, either the first short-time game (100 times) or the second short-time game (0 times) with a shorter number of short-time games than the first short-time game based on the short-time lottery result generate. For example, after the second big hit game, the first short-time game (100 times) is selected at a rate of 1/8.

On the other hand, in the short-time gaming state, the player plays a game aiming at the game area on the right side of the game board 1. Here, when the game ball passes through the gate 6 shown in FIG. 3 and the symbol of the normal symbol display 11 stops and stops at the symbol, the electric Chu 7 starts from the third predetermined time (for example, 0.1 second). For a long fourth predetermined time (for example, 2.1 seconds). Even when a game ball wins the open electric Chu 7, a winning lottery and a short-time lottery are performed, and if the winning lottery is won as a result of the winning lottery, the second special figure display 12 displays a jackpot symbol, A first jackpot game for opening the door of the lower prize-winning device 8 is executed. As a result of the winning lottery, when winning a small win, the small special symbol display is displayed on the second special figure display 12 and at the same time, the movable pieces 3L, 3R of the upper prize winning device 2 are given a predetermined number of times (for example, once), The opening / closing operation for changing to the open state is executed for a second predetermined time (for example, 0.8 seconds) longer than the predetermined time of 1 (for example, 0.4 seconds). And when the game ball won in the upper prize winning device 2 by the opening / closing operation of the movable pieces 3L, 3R passes the specific area 4, the second big hit that opens / closes the movable pieces 3L, 3R of the upper prize winning device 2 Instead of a game, a first big hit game that opens the door of the lower prize-winning device 8 is executed.
After the first jackpot game is over, it is determined whether or not the number of consecutive big hits has reached a preset number of times (for example, five times). If the preset number of times has not been reached, almost 100% The first short-time game (100 times) is selected again at a rate.
On the other hand, when the number of consecutive big wins reaches a preset number (for example, 5 times), the second short time game (0 times) is selected. In other words, the time-saving gaming state is forcibly shifted to the normal gaming state. Note that, for example, even if the jackpot is not won during 100 short-time games, the short-time game state is shifted to the normal game state.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment, the first jackpot game or the second jackpot game is won in the normal game state, and the first short-time game is selected as the short-time game after the jackpot game ends. If, at that time, the big win is won again during the short game, if the number of consecutive big wins is within a preset number (5 times), the first big win game is executed again and the first big win game is completed after the end of the big win game. The rate at which short-time games are selected is increased. In this way, once the first short-time game is selected, the probability of winning the first big hit game continuously for a predetermined number of times set in advance increases, so a large number of balls can be played in a short time. It becomes possible to acquire.

(Third counting means) 117 and the like are provided.
The launch stop condition setting means 112 can set a launch stop condition for stopping the launch of the game ball from the game ball launch device 30. For the firing stop condition, a preset condition can be changed by, for example, a person in charge on the hall (store) side from the outside using an operation button (not shown). Note that the setting of the firing stop condition is not limited to the person in charge on the hall side, and the player may perform the setting using an operation button or the like.
The firing stop condition determining unit 113 determines whether or not to stop the game ball launch from the game ball launching device 30 based on the launch stop condition set by the launch stop condition setting unit 112.

The external information creation unit 114 creates the launch stop information as the external information when the launch stop condition determination unit 113 determines that the launch of the game ball is to be stopped.
The external information output means 115 outputs various information of the pachinko gaming machine 100, for example, information such as the number of game balls shot and the number of payouts, the current game state, or the presence / absence of an abnormality, to the hall computer 50 that is a management device.
Further, the external information output means 115 outputs the fire stop information to the hall computer 50 when the fire stop information is created by the external information creation means 114.

On the other hand, the launch control board 121 includes launch control means 122 and launch stop means 123. In addition, the launch control board 121 is connected to the volume 31 of the game ball launcher 30, the launch solenoid 32, and the payout control board 40.
The volume 31 is constituted by, for example, a variable resistor, detects the rotation amount (operation amount) of the handle ring 22 of the operation handle 20 shown in FIG. 4, and outputs an operation signal proportional to the operation amount of the launch control board 121. Output to the control means 122.
The launch solenoid 32 launches a game ball with a launch intensity controlled by the launch control means 122.
The firing control means 122 controls the firing solenoid 32 with a firing intensity corresponding to the operation signal from the volume 31.
The launch stop means 123 is based on the launch stop signal M1 output from the main control board 111 or the launch permission signal S2 input from the payout control board 40 based on the determination result of the launch stop condition determination means 113. The launch of the game ball from the launch solenoid 32 of the ball launcher 30 is stopped.
The payout control board 40 controls the payout of the game ball when the game ball wins the upper prize winning device 2, the first starting port 5, the electric chew 7, or the like. Further, the payout control board 40 is provided with a payout ball counting means (first count means) 41 for counting the difference between the payout ball number and the shot ball number.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the hall computer according to the present embodiment.
The hall computer 50 includes a CPU 51, ROM 52, RAM 53, an input / output interface (I / F) 54 for inputting / outputting information between the pachinko gaming machine 100 and the card unit 60, and a hard disk drive (HDD) 55. These are connected via a bus 56.
If the pachinko gaming machine 100 is normal based on various information input from the external information output means 115 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 via the I / F 54, the hall computer 50 can detect the card unit 60 from the I / F 54. The connection confirmation signal S1 to be output to the payout control board 40 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 via the terminal is always turned on. As a result, the payout control board 40 outputs a launch permission signal S2 that permits the launch control board 121 to launch a game ball.
In addition, the hall computer 50 receives a pachinko game from the I / F 54 via the card unit 60 when the stop information is input as external information from the external information output means 115 of the pachinko game machine 100 via the I / F 54. The connection confirmation signal S1 output to the payout control board 40 of the machine 100 is stopped. As a result, the discharge permission signal S2 that permits the game control ball 121 to be released from the payout control board 40 is prevented from being output.

The pachinko gaming system of the present embodiment configured as described above is configured such that the administrator on the hall side can set the firing stop condition in the launch stop condition setting means 112 of the pachinko gaming machine 100. The firing stop condition is, for example, the number of balls to be played, the game state, the number of consecutive big wins, or the number of games (lottery) between jackpots.
When the number of balls to be set is set as the firing stop condition, for example, any one of 3000/5000/10000 / unlimited launch stop conditions is set in the launch stop condition setting unit 112. In this case, the firing stop condition determining unit 113 determines the firing stop condition when the count value of the ball counting unit 41 reaches the set number (3000/5000/10000) set in the firing stop condition setting unit 112. Is determined to have been satisfied. This determination result is transmitted to the firing stop means 123 of the launch control board 121 as the external information creation means 114 or the firing stop signal M1.
When the determination result of the firing stop condition determining unit 113 is transmitted to the external information creating unit 114, the external information creating unit 114 creates firing stop information as external information. The firing stop information created by the external information creation means 114 is output from the external information output means 114 to the hall computer 50. When the launch stop information is input from the pachinko gaming machine 100 as external information, the hall computer 50 turns off the connection confirmation signal S1 output to the payout control board 40 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 via the card unit 60. . As a result, a firing stop signal S2 is input from the payout control board 40 to the launch control board 121, and the launch stop means 123 stops the launch of the game ball from the game ball launcher 30.

On the other hand, when the determination result of the firing stop condition determining unit 113 is directly output to the launch control board 121 as the launch stop signal M1, the launch stop unit 123 receives the game ball from the game ball launcher 30 based on the launch stop signal M1. Stop firing.
If comprised in this way, since the number of balls of the pachinko gaming machine 100 can be limited based on the firing stop condition, it becomes possible to suppress without excessively screaming the player.
The firing stop condition determining means 113 does not determine that the firing stop condition is satisfied when the set number is set to unlimited.
In addition, for example, in the case of setting a change of the game state (a transition from a privileged game state such as a short-time game or the like to a normal game state) as a firing stop condition, whether or not to stop the launch by changing the game state ON / OFF is set. In this case, the firing stop condition determining unit 113 determines that the firing stop condition is satisfied when the gaming state is changed from the privilege gaming state to the normal gaming state.
In this case as well, based on the determination result of the shooting stop condition determining means 113, the game ball from the game ball launcher 30 is sent from the hall computer 50 via the card unit 60 or in the pachinko gaming machine 100 itself. Since the launch can be stopped, it is possible to suppress the launch without excessively irritating the player.

In addition, for example, when setting the number of consecutive big hits as the firing stop condition, the upper limit number of consecutive big hits is set. In this case, the firing stop condition determining unit 113 determines that the firing stop condition is satisfied when the count value of the continuous winning number counting unit 116 reaches the set number of times set in the firing stop condition setting unit 112.
In this case as well, based on the determination result of the shooting stop condition determining means 113, the game ball from the game ball launcher 30 is sent from the hall computer 50 via the card unit 60 or in the pachinko gaming machine 100 itself. Since the launch can be stopped, it is possible to limit the number of consecutive hits of the big hit of the pachinko gaming machine 100, and it is possible to suppress without excessively enthusiasm of the player.
For example, when setting the number of games for jackpots as the firing stop condition, the upper limit number of games is set. In this case, the firing stop condition determining means 113 determines that the firing stop condition is satisfied when the count value of the game number counting means 117 reaches the set number of times set in the firing stop condition setting means 112.
In this case as well, based on the determination result of the shooting stop condition determining means 113, the game ball from the game ball launcher 30 is sent from the hall computer 50 via the card unit 60 or in the pachinko gaming machine 100 itself. Since the launch can be stopped, the number of games between jackpots of the pachinko gaming machine 100 can be limited. In other words, the long-lasting state of not winning the jackpot will give a sense of expectation that the player will be able to win a large number of balls, and without excessively enthusiasm for the player. It becomes possible to suppress.

Next, processing executed by the pachinko gaming machine 100 and the hall computer 50 to realize the pachinko gaming system of the present embodiment described above will be described.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a firing stop condition determination result output process executed by the main control board of the pachinko gaming machine. Note that the processing shown in FIG. 7 is realized by a CPU (not shown) of the main control board 111 executing a program stored in the ROM.
In this case, the CPU of the main control board determines whether or not the firing stop condition set in the firing stop condition setting unit 112 is satisfied in step S1. If it is determined in step S1 that the firing stop condition is satisfied, then firing stop information is created in step S2, and the firing stop information is output in subsequent step S3. If it is determined in step S1 that the firing stop condition is not satisfied, the process is terminated.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the firing stop process executed by the hall computer. 8 is realized by the CPU 51 of the hall computer 50 executing a program stored in the ROM 52.
In this case, in step S11, the CPU 51 determines whether or not the emission stop information is input as external information from the external information output unit 115 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 via the I / F 54, and the emission stop information is input. If it is determined that the connection is confirmed, the connection confirmation signal output from the I / F 54 to the payout control board 40 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 via the card unit 60 is blocked in the subsequent step S12. If it is determined in step S11 that the firing stop information has not been input, the process is terminated as it is.
Although not shown, when controlling the firing stop means 123 of the launch control board 121 from the main control board 111 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 without going through the hall computer 50, the launch stop set in the launch stop condition setting means 112 is performed. When it is determined that the condition is satisfied, the determination result can be realized by outputting the determination result to the firing control board 121 as the firing stop signal M1.

Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment, it is possible to stop the launch of the game ball from the game ball launch device 30 according to the launch stop condition set in advance in the launch stop condition setting unit 112. Therefore, as a firing stop condition of the game ball launching device 30, if, for example, the number of balls to be played, the game state, the number of consecutive wins or the number of games between jackpots, etc. This makes it possible to suppress the player's gambling feelings.
In the present embodiment, as the firing stop condition, the number of balls to be played, the game state, the number of consecutive big hits, or the number of games between jackpots has been described as an example, but this is only an example, and the firing stop condition Of course, other conditions may be used.
