The irregular hit notification means 40c notifies the pachinko gaming machine 1 in which the irregular hit is performed using a display or a speaker.

  Next, processing / control executed by the main control device 21 and the hall computer 40 to achieve the processing / control functions will be described with reference to flowcharts.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6, in the main process executed by the main control device 21, a random number update process (S1), a start port SW process (S2), a distribution start port SW process (S3), an electric chew SW process ( S4), special symbol processing (S5), normal symbol processing (S6), special prize opening processing (S7), electric chew processing (S8), sorting device processing (S9), prize ball processing (S10), output processing ( S11) is sequentially executed, and thereafter, the initial value random number update in S12 and the fluctuation pattern random number update in S13 are repeatedly executed, and the processes in S1 to S11 are executed in the interrupt process at every minute time interval.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the start port SW process of S2, when the start port SW11a is turned on (S20; Yes), when the number U of special symbol hold is less than 4 (S21; Yes), the hold The number U is incremented to U + 1 (S22), the big hit random number, the big hit symbol random number, and the reach random number are acquired and stored (S23), and the process returns.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the distribution start port SW process of S3, when the distribution start port SW13a is turned on (S25; Yes), when the number of reserved symbols G of normal symbols is less than 4 (S26; Yes) ), The hold number G is incremented to G + 1 (S27), a winning random number is acquired and stored (S28), and the process returns. As shown in FIG. 9, in the electric chew SW process of S4, when the electric chew SW 14c is turned on (S4a; Yes), when the number of holding Ua of the second special symbol is less than 4 (S4b; Yes) The hold number Ua is incremented to Ua + 1 (S4c), the big hit small hit random number and the big hit small hit symbol random number are acquired and stored (S4d), and the process returns. In S23, S28, and S4d, this occurs when the start port SW11a, the distribution start port SW13a, and the electric Chu SW 14c are turned on from random numbers that are sequentially updated within a predetermined range in the random number update process of S1. Random number is acquired and stored.

  Although not shown, in the special symbol process of S5, the big hit random number determination is performed using the big hit random number acquired and stored in S23 of FIG. 7, and further, the big hit symbol random number and reach random number acquired and stored in S23 of FIG. Is used to determine and set a special symbol (a jackpot symbol, a lost symbol) indicating the result of the jackpot lottery. Further, the big hit small hit random number is determined using the big hit small hit random number acquired and stored in S4d of FIG. 9, and the big hit small hit random number is acquired and stored in S4d of FIG. A second special symbol (big hit symbol, small hit symbol) indicating the result of the winning lottery is determined and set. In the big winning opening process of S7, when the big hit random number determination of S5 is a big hit or when the big hit small hit random number determination is a big hit, the big winning opening 12a is opened and closed over a plurality of rounds. As such, the big prize opening device 12 is controlled to generate a big hit game. It should be noted that the big hit small hit random number determination is performed in preference to the big hit random number determination.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the normal symbol process of S6, first, it is determined whether or not the first auxiliary game for opening and closing the electric chew winning opening 14a is in progress (S30). Then, when the first auxiliary game is not being performed (S30; No), when the normal symbol is not changing (S31; No), and when the normal symbol holding number G is 1 or more (S32; Yes), The hold number G is decremented to G-1 (S33), the game mode is read (S34), and the winning random number determination (S35) based on the game mode (either the normal game mode or the big hit auxiliary game mode) Is done.

  As a result of the hit random number determination in S35, if a win is obtained (S36; Yes), a win symbol is set (S37), and if lost (S36; No), a lost symbol is set (S38). Next, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit assist game mode (S39). If S39; Yes, the variation time is set to about 3 seconds (S40). If S39; No, the variation time is set to about 29 seconds. (S41). Then, the variation of the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display 19b is started (S42), the measurement of the variation time is started (S43), and the process returns.

  On the other hand, if S31: Yes, that is, if the normal symbol is changing, the change time started from S43 reaches the time set in S40 or S41, and if the change time ends (S44; Yes) Then, the normal symbol is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display 19a (S45), and at that time, the winning symbol set in S37 or the lost symbol set in S38 is displayed. In the case of winning (S47; Yes), that is, when the winning symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display 19a, the first auxiliary game is started (S48) and the process returns.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the electric chew process of S8, when the first auxiliary game is in progress (S50; Yes), when the electric chew winning opening 14a is open (S51; Yes), the process proceeds to S53, and the electric chew If the winning opening 14a is not being opened (S51; No), the electric chew device 14 is controlled so that the electric chewing winning opening 14a is opened, and the process proceeds to S53. In S53, it is determined whether or not a predetermined opening time (for example, about 2 seconds) has elapsed since the opening of the electric chew winning opening 14a (S53). If S53; Yes, the electric chewing winning opening 14a is closed. Thus, it is determined whether or not the electric-chu winning port 14a has been opened a predetermined number of times (for example, two or three times) (S55). If S55; No, the process returns to S50. If the answer is S55; Yes, the first auxiliary game ends (S56) and the process returns.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the distribution device process of S9, it is first determined whether or not the second auxiliary game for opening and closing the distribution prize winning opening 15a is in progress (S60). In the case of the second auxiliary game (S60; Yes), the process proceeds to S72. If the second auxiliary game is not in progress (S60; No), if the electric Chu SW 14c is not ON (S61; No), the process returns, and if the electric Chu SW 14c is ON (S61; Yes), the game mode is read. In rare cases (S62), the big hit small hit random number determination (S63) is performed based on the game mode (either the normal game mode or the big hit auxiliary game mode). When the big hit is won (S64; Yes), a big hit game start command is output (S65) and the process returns. When winning a small hit (S66; Yes), in the big hit assist game mode (S67; Yes), the opening time is set to about 2 seconds (S68), when not in the big hit assist game mode (S67; No) The time is set to about 0.1 second (S69). Then, the second auxiliary game is started (S70), the distribution device 15 is controlled so that the distribution prize opening 15a is opened (S71), and the process proceeds to S72.

  In S72, it is determined whether or not the specific area SW15e is ON. If S72; No, it is set in S68 or S69 from the time when the allocation winning opening 15a is opened and the opening time (about 2 seconds or about 0.1 seconds) elapses. It is determined whether or not (S73), S73; S73; In the case of Yes, the distribution device 15 is controlled so as to close the distribution prize winning opening 15a (S75), the second auxiliary game is ended (S76), and the process returns.

  S72: Yes, that is, when the specific area SW15e is turned on, a big hit game start command is output (S74), and the process proceeds to S75. When the big hit game start command is output, in the big winning game process of S7, the big win game 12a is received without receiving the big hit game start command and based on the result of the big hit random number determination and the big hit small hit random number determination of S5. The big prize opening device 12 is controlled so as to open and close over a plurality of rounds, and a big hit game is generated.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the output process of S11, when the distribution start port SW13a is ON (S80), in the big hit assist game mode (S81; Yes), the distribution start port shown in FIG. The winning signal S1 is output to the hall computer 40 (S82), and when it is not the big hit assist game mode (S81; No), the distribution start opening winning signal S2 shown in FIG. S83), return. When the distribution start port SW13a is OFF (S80; No), if there is another output process (S84; Yes), the other output process is executed (S85) and the process returns.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14, in the game information processing executed by the hall computer 40, when the distribution start opening prize signal is received from the pachinko game 1 (S 90; Yes), that is, the distribution start opening prize signal is ON. In this case, the output time t (time t when the distribution start prize signal is ON) is measured (S91), and it is determined whether or not the output time t is equal to or longer than a predetermined time T3 (> T1) ( S92). In the case of S92; Yes, that is, if the output time of the distribution start opening winning signal is equal to or longer than the predetermined time T3, it is determined that the irregular hit is being executed (S94), and the pachinko where the irregular hit is being performed. The gaming machine 1 is identified and notified using a display or a speaker (S95), and the process returns.

  On the other hand, if S90; No, that is, if the distribution start port winning signal is not received from the pachinko game 1, it is determined whether or not another signal is desired to be received (S96). If S96; No, the process returns, and S96: Yes. In this case, the game information totaling process (S97) is executed based on other signals, and the process returns. Here, in the case of S92; No, that is, when the output time of the distribution start port winning signal is less than the predetermined time T3, it is next determined whether or not the distribution start port winning signal is turned off (S93). If S93; No, the process returns to S91. If S93; Yes, the process proceeds to S96, and the game information totaling process (S97) of S97 is executed based on the normal distribution start opening prize signal S1.

According to the pachinko gaming machine 1 and the pachinko gaming system PS, the following operational effects can be obtained.
The pachinko gaming machine 1 detects a normal game mode aiming at a game ball winning at the start winning opening 11 by a normal hit, a big hit assisting game mode aiming at winning a game ball at the sorting start opening 13 by a special hit, and detecting a special hit Possible special hit detecting means 50, and an external output processing means 21f for outputting irregular hit information as an irregular hit to the hall computer 40 when the special hit detecting means 50 detects a special hit in the normal game mode. It was.

  That is, in the normal game mode aiming at winning a game ball to the start winning opening 11 by normal hit, when an irregular hit aiming at winning the game ball at the sorting start opening 13 by special hit different from the normal hit is performed. Since the irregular hitting information can be output to the hall computer 40, the hall computer 40 receives the irregular hitting information from the pachinko gaming machine 1 and does not recognize the gaming mode of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, it is possible to effectively take countermeasures against the irregular beating.

  The big hit assist game mode is continued after the big hit game until a predetermined condition is satisfied, and in this big hit assist game mode, the opening time of the opening / closing member 15d of the sorting device 15 is made longer than the opening time in the normal game mode. Therefore, in the normal game mode, even if an irregular hit is made, the game ball is prevented from winning the sorting device 15, and in the big hit assist game mode, the game ball may win the sorting device 15. Can be increased.

  The special hit detection means 50 has a distribution start port switch 13a for detecting a game ball won in the distribution start port 13, and the external output processing means 21f starts the distribution when the distribution start port switch 13a is turned on. In addition to outputting the mouth winning signal to the hall computer 40 and the output pattern of the sorting start opening winning signal output in the normal game mode as irregular hitting information, the sorting start opening winning signal output in the big hit assist gaming mode Output pattern changing means 21g for making the output pattern different.

  That is, when the distribution start port switch 13a is turned on, the distribution start port winning signal output to the hall computer 40 is effectively used, and the irregular hit information is transmitted to the hall computer without providing an output port for irregular hit information communication. In the hall computer 40, it is possible to reliably identify a distribution start port winning signal having an output pattern different from normal as irregular hit information.

  Since the output pattern changing means 21g makes the output time of the distribution start opening prize signal output in the normal game mode longer than the output time of the distribution start opening winning signal output in the big hit assist game mode, the hall computer 40 The sorting start opening winning signal with a long output time can be easily identified as irregular hit information.

  The pachinko gaming system PS includes the pachinko gaming machine 1 and a hall computer 40 electrically connected to the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the hall computer 40 receives a distribution start opening prize received from the pachinko gaming machine 1. Since it has the irregular hit judging means 40b for judging that the irregular hit is made when the output time of the signal is longer than the predetermined time, it is possible to reliably determine the pachinko gaming machine 1 in which the irregular hit is made. .

  Since the hall computer 40 has the irregular hitting notification means 40c for notifying the pachinko gaming machine 1 in which irregular hitting is performed, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in which irregular hitting is being performed is surely provided to the hall staff or the like. I can inform you.

  In other words, there is a conventional device that notifies the pachinko machine itself that an irregular beating has been performed, but with that alone, the hall staff overlooks the wide hall of the pachinko machine where the irregular beating is performed. It is also difficult to conduct normal business while looking for it and always paying attention to whether or not irregular beatings are being made.

  On the other hand, in this pachinko gaming system PS, the hall computer 40 can easily identify and notify the pachinko gaming machine 1 on which irregular beating is performed. It is possible to easily find a pachinko machine that is being used, and in this respect, it is possible to effectively take measures against the irregular hitting.

Next, a modified embodiment in which the above embodiment is partially modified will be described.
(1) About the opening time of the electric-chu winning port 14a, the big hit auxiliary game mode is made longer than the normal game mode. In this case, both the normal game mode and the big hit assist game mode may be the same for the opening time of the opening member 15d of the sorting device 15.

(2) If the electric chewing device 14 is omitted and the game is won in the sorting start lottery performed when the game ball is won at the sorting start port 13, the opening / closing member 15d of the sorting device 15 is opened and closed. .
(3) When the game start winning lottery performed when the game ball is won at the distribution start port 13 is omitted and the game ball is won at the distribution start port 13, the opening / closing member of the distribution device 15 Open and close 15d.

(4) The transition from the normal game mode to the big hit assisting game mode is executed when winning in some lottery other than after the big hit game.
(5) The irregular beating information output from the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the hall computer 40 is a signal other than the distribution start opening prize signal.

(6) As for the special hit detecting means, a switch or a sensor for detecting that the special operation is performed from the rotational operation position of the launching handle 7 and detecting the rotational operation position of the launching handle 7 is provided. .
(7) There are various possible changes in the output pattern for using the sorting start opening prize signal output from the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the hall computer 40 as irregular hitting information.

  In addition, various modifications other than the above-described disclosure can be added without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the present invention can play the game ball to the start winning opening as usual as described above. The present invention can be applied to various pachinko machines equipped with a normal game mode aiming for winning a prize and a jackpot assisting game mode aiming for winning a game ball at a sorting start port with a special hit.
