Description

本発明は、パチンコ遊技機に関し、特に、入賞装置の開閉部材を強制的に開放させる行為に対して対策を施したパチンコ遊技機に関する。   The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine, and more particularly, to a pachinko gaming machine that takes measures against the act of forcibly opening an opening / closing member of a winning device.

パチンコ遊技機には、ソレノイドなどの駆動源により駆動される開閉部材を備え、開閉部材が入賞口を開閉することで、入賞口への遊技球の入賞を制御する入賞装置が設けられている。開閉部材は、初期状態では入賞口を閉塞した閉塞状態に有り、遊技中に所定条件を満たした場合に入賞口を開放した開放状態となる。開放された入賞口に入賞した遊技球は、入賞装置の内部に配設された遊技球検知器に検知される。パチンコ遊技機では、これに基づいて、大当たり抽選に用いる乱数の取得や所定個数の賞球を行っている。   The pachinko gaming machine includes an opening / closing member that is driven by a driving source such as a solenoid, and is provided with a winning device that controls the winning of a game ball to the winning opening by opening / closing the winning opening. The opening / closing member is in a closed state in which the winning opening is closed in the initial state, and is opened when the predetermined condition is satisfied during the game. A game ball won in the opened winning opening is detected by a game ball detector disposed inside the winning device. Based on this, the pachinko gaming machine acquires a random number used for the big hit lottery and a predetermined number of prize balls.

しかし、このような入賞装置に対して、パチンコ遊技機の隙間からワイヤー等を挿入して開閉部材に引っ掛け、開閉部材を強制的に開放状態にして入賞口に遊技球を入賞させる不正行為がなされている。そして、従来から、このような不正行為に対処した入賞装置として下記特許文献1に記載の入賞装置が知られている。   However, for such a winning device, an illegal act of inserting a wire or the like from the gap of the pachinko gaming machine and hooking it on the opening / closing member to forcibly open the opening / closing member to win a game ball in the winning opening is made. ing. Conventionally, a winning device described in Patent Document 1 is known as a winning device that copes with such an illegal act.

特許文献1に記載の入賞装置は、開閉部材と、開閉部材を駆動するソレノイドと、ソレノイドと開閉部材を繋ぐ連繋部材(揺動クランク)とを備えて構成され、ソレノイドの非作動時、ソレノイドのプランジャーの先端部(プランジャーヘッド)が、揺動クランクと当接して揺動クランクの動きを規制することで、開閉部材の強制解放を防止する。   The winning device described in Patent Literature 1 includes an opening / closing member, a solenoid that drives the opening / closing member, and a connecting member (oscillating crank) that connects the solenoid and the opening / closing member. The front end of the plunger (plunger head) abuts on the swinging crank and restricts the swinging crank movement, thereby preventing the opening / closing member from being forcibly released.

特開2008−48900号公報JP 2008-48900 A

しかしながら、このように構成された入賞装置では、ソレノイドが作動しておらず開閉部材が閉塞状態にあるときには、開閉部材をワイヤー等で引っ張っても強制的に開放状態にすることはできないが、ソレノイドが作動して開閉部材が開放状態となったときを狙って開閉部材をワイヤー等で引っ掛けてしまえば、開閉部材は閉塞状態に戻ることができなくなるため、強制的に開放状態にすることが可能であった。   However, in the winning device configured as described above, when the solenoid is not activated and the opening / closing member is in the closed state, the opening / closing member cannot be forcibly opened even if the opening / closing member is pulled with a wire or the like. If the opening and closing member is hooked with a wire etc. aiming at the time when the opening and closing member is opened, the opening and closing member can not return to the closed state, so it can be forcibly opened Met.

そこで本発明は、上記事情に鑑み、開閉部材を強制的に開放状態にしても駆動源の作動中でなければ入賞口に入賞した遊技球が検知されないようにし、もって開閉部材を強制的に開放させて遊技球を不正に入賞させる行為を抑制することを目的とする。   Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention prevents a game ball that has won a prize opening from being detected unless the driving source is in operation even when the opening and closing member is forcibly opened, thereby forcibly opening the opening and closing member. The purpose is to suppress the act of illegally winning a game ball.

本発明のパチンコ遊技機は、入賞口と、前記入賞口を開閉する開閉部材と、前記開閉部材を駆動する駆動源とを有する入賞装置であって、所定条件を満たすことにより前記駆動源が所定時間作動され、前記開閉部材が開いて遊技球の前記入賞口への入賞し易さが変化する入賞装置を備え、前記入賞装置は、前記入賞口に入賞した遊技球(以下「入賞球」という)を検知する遊技球検知器と、前記入賞球を前記遊技球検知器に至らせる球通路部と、を備えて構成され、前記入賞球が前記遊技球検知器によって検知されたことに基づいて大当たり抽選及び/又は所定個数の賞球がなされるパチンコ遊技機において、前記入賞装置は、前記駆動源によって駆動され、前記入賞球を前記遊技球検知器に至るまでの間でせき止め可能な規制部材を備え、前記規制部材は、前記駆動源の非作動時、遊技球が前記球通路部を通過するのを規制した状態にあり、前記駆動源が作動されると、遊技球が前記球通路部を通過するのを許容した状態となることを特徴とする。   The pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is a winning device having a winning opening, an opening / closing member that opens and closes the winning opening, and a drive source that drives the opening / closing member. It is operated for a time and includes a winning device that opens and closes the opening and closing member to change the ease of winning the game ball into the winning port. The winning device is a game ball (hereinafter referred to as “winning ball”) that has won the winning port. ) And a ball passage portion for bringing the winning ball to the gaming ball detector, and based on the fact that the winning ball is detected by the gaming ball detector In a pachinko gaming machine in which a big hit lottery and / or a predetermined number of prize balls are made, the prize-winning device is driven by the drive source and can restrict the prize balls to the game ball detector. With The restricting member is in a state in which the game ball is restricted from passing through the ball passage portion when the drive source is not operated, and when the drive source is operated, the game ball passes through the ball passage portion. It is characterized by being in a state in which this is allowed.

ここで、前記駆動源は、前進後退可能な直動部材を備え、該直動部材には、当該直動部材に沿って摺動可能な摺動部材が嵌着され、前記開閉部材は、前記摺動部材が前方位置にあるとき前記入賞口を閉塞し、前記摺動部材が後方位置にあるとき前記入賞口を開放するよう、前記摺動部材に連結され、前記規制部材は、前記直動部材が前進位置にあるとき遊技球が前記球通路部を通過するのを規制し、前記直動部材が後退位置にあるとき遊技球が前記球通路部を通過するのを許容するよう、前記直動部材に連結され、前記駆動源の非作動時、前記摺動部材の位置に関わらず、前記直動部材は前進位置にあり、前記駆動源の作動時、前記直動部材が後退するとともに、前記摺動部材が後方位置に移動する構成とすることが望ましい。   Here, the drive source includes a linear motion member that can be moved forward and backward, and a sliding member that is slidable along the linear motion member is fitted to the linear motion member, The sliding member is connected to the sliding member so as to close the winning port when the sliding member is in the forward position, and to open the winning port when the sliding member is in the rear position, and the regulating member is the linear motion The straight ball is restricted to allow the game ball to pass through the ball passage portion when the member is in the forward position, and to allow the game ball to pass through the ball passage portion when the linear motion member is in the retracted position. When the drive source is inactive, the linear motion member is in an advanced position regardless of the position of the sliding member, and when the drive source is in operation, the linear motion member is retracted. It is desirable that the sliding member move to the rear position.

また本発明のパチンコ遊技機では、前記駆動源は、前記直動部材としてのプランジャーと、該プランジャーを励磁する本体部とを備えたソレノイドとされ、該プランジャーは、前記摺動部材と前記本体部との間に、前記摺動部材を前方位置に付勢するとともに前記摺動部材を介して当該プランジャーを前進位置に付勢する第1弾性部材を有し、前記摺動部材と当該プランジャーの先端部との間に、当該プランジャーを前進位置へ付勢する第2弾性部材を有し、前記第2弾性部材は、前記第1弾性部材より復元力の小さい弾性部材とされている構成とすることが望ましい。   In the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, the drive source is a solenoid including a plunger as the linear motion member and a main body portion that excites the plunger, and the plunger is connected to the sliding member. A first elastic member that urges the sliding member to a forward position and urges the plunger to a forward position via the sliding member between the main body and the sliding member; A second elastic member that urges the plunger to a forward position is provided between the distal end portion of the plunger, and the second elastic member is an elastic member having a restoring force smaller than that of the first elastic member. It is desirable to have a configuration.

本発明のパチンコ遊技機によれば、所定条件を満たして駆動源が作動し、これに基づいて開閉部材が開いた場合には、規制部材は球通路部の通過規制を解除した状態となる。そのため、入賞口に入賞した遊技球は球通路部を通過して遊技球検知器に検知される。これに対して、所定条件を満たしていないのにワイヤー等を用いて開閉部材を強制的に開放状態した場合には、駆動源が作動していないため、規制部材は球通路部の通過規制をしている状態にある。そのため、入賞口に遊技球を入賞させても、入賞球は、遊技球検知器に至る前に球通路部上でせき止められて遊技球検知器に検出されないため、その遊技球が入賞球としてカウントされず、大当たり抽選や賞球は行われない。したがって、開閉部材の強制開放による遊技球の不正入賞を行っても不正行為者にとって利益がないため、開閉部材を強制開放させて遊技球を不正に入賞させる行為を抑制することができる。   According to the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention, when the drive source is operated while satisfying a predetermined condition and the opening / closing member is opened based on this, the restricting member is in a state where the passage restriction of the ball passage portion is released. Therefore, the game ball won in the winning opening passes through the ball passage portion and is detected by the game ball detector. On the other hand, when the opening / closing member is forcibly opened using a wire or the like even though the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the drive member is not activated, so the restricting member restricts the passage of the ball passage portion. Is in a state of being. Therefore, even if a game ball is won at the winning opening, the winning ball is blocked on the ball passage portion before reaching the game ball detector and is not detected by the game ball detector, so the game ball is counted as a winning ball. There will be no jackpot lottery or prize ball. Accordingly, even if the game ball is illegally won by forcibly opening the opening / closing member, there is no profit for the fraudulent person. Therefore, the act of forcibly opening the opening / closing member and illegally winning the game ball can be suppressed.

遊技領域3の外側には、普通図柄表示器13、第1特別図柄表示器14a、及び、第2特別図柄表示器14bが設けられるとともに、普通図柄保留ランプ15、第1特別図柄保留ランプ16a、第2特別図柄保留ランプ16bがそれぞれ4つ設けられている。   Outside the gaming area 3, a normal symbol display 13, a first special symbol display 14a, and a second special symbol display 14b are provided, a normal symbol hold lamp 15, a first special symbol hold lamp 16a, Four second special symbol holding lamps 16b are provided.

第1特別図柄表示器14a、第2特別図柄表示器14bは、それぞれ、遊技球の第1始動口51a、第2始動口51bへの入賞を契機として行われる大当たり抽選の結果を、変動表示を経て停止表示された図柄により報知する(これを「特別図柄変動」という)ものである。第1特別図柄表示器14a、第2特別図柄表示器14bに停止表示された図柄(特別図柄)が大当たり図柄であれば、大入賞口71を所定回数開閉する大当たり遊技が行われる。   The first special symbol indicator 14a and the second special symbol indicator 14b respectively display the results of the jackpot lottery performed when the game ball is won at the first starting port 51a and the second starting port 51b as a trigger. This is notified by a symbol stopped and displayed (this is called “special symbol variation”). If the symbol (special symbol) stopped and displayed on the first special symbol indicator 14a and the second special symbol indicator 14b is a jackpot symbol, a jackpot game for opening and closing the big prize opening 71 a predetermined number of times is performed.

遊技球が第1始動口51aまたは第2始動口51bに入賞すると、メイン制御基板20(図8参照)は、その入賞に対して取得した大当たり乱数を、第1始動口51aへの入賞であれば第1保留記憶部27a(図8参照)に、第2始動口51bへの入賞であれば第2保留記憶部27b(図8参照)に記憶する。そして、特別図柄変動を実行可能になったとき、即ち、前の入賞に対する特別図柄変動も、大当たり遊技も実行されていない状態になったときに、記憶しておいた大当たり乱数を用いて大当たりか否かの判定を行い、特別図柄変動を実行する。   When the game ball wins the first start port 51a or the second start port 51b, the main control board 20 (see FIG. 8) can use the jackpot random number acquired for the win to win the first start port 51a. For example, in the first hold storage unit 27a (see FIG. 8), if it is a winning to the second start port 51b, it is stored in the second hold storage unit 27b (see FIG. 8). Then, when the special symbol variation becomes feasible, that is, when the special symbol variation for the previous winning game is not executed, the jackpot random number stored is used to It is determined whether or not, and special symbol variation is executed.

第1特別図柄保留ランプ16a、第2特別図柄保留ランプ16bは、それぞれ、第1保留記憶部27a、第2保留記憶部27bに記憶されている大当たり乱数の個数を表示するものである。なお、第1保留記憶部27a、第2保留記憶部27bに記憶される大当たり乱数は、それぞれ4個が上限とされているため、第1保留記憶部27aに4個の大当たり乱数が記憶されている状態で遊技球が第1始動口51aに入賞したときや、第2保留記憶部27bに4個の大当たり乱数が記憶されている状態で遊技球が第2始動口51bに入賞したときは、その入賞に対する大当たり乱数の取得は行われない。   The first special symbol hold lamp 16a and the second special symbol hold lamp 16b display the numbers of jackpot random numbers stored in the first hold storage unit 27a and the second hold storage unit 27b, respectively. Note that the maximum number of jackpot random numbers stored in the first hold storage section 27a and the second hold storage section 27b is four, so that four jackpot random numbers are stored in the first hold storage section 27a. When the game ball wins the first start opening 51a in the state of being, or when the game ball wins the second start opening 51b in the state where the four jackpot random numbers are stored in the second holding storage unit 27b, The jackpot random number is not acquired for the winning.

普通図柄表示器13は、ゲート8への遊技球の通過を契機として行われる普通図柄抽選の結果を、変動表示を経て停止表示される普通図柄により報知するものである。停止表示された普通図柄が当たり図柄であれば、所定時間及び所定回数、開閉部材76,83を開く補助遊技が行われる。なお、実施形態では、普通図柄抽選の結果が当たりであることが、特許請求の範囲にいう「所定条件」に該当する。   The normal symbol display 13 notifies the result of the normal symbol lottery performed with the passing of the game ball to the gate 8 as a normal symbol that is stopped and displayed through the variable display. If the stop-displayed normal symbol is a winning symbol, an auxiliary game for opening the opening and closing members 76 and 83 is performed for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times. In the embodiment, that the result of the normal symbol lottery is a win corresponds to the “predetermined condition” in the claims.

普通図柄の変動表示中または補助遊技中に、遊技球がゲート8を通過すると、メイン制御基板20(図8参照)は、その通過に対して取得した当たり乱数を記憶する。そして、普通図柄の変動表示を開始可能な状態になったときに、記憶しておいた当たり乱数を用いて当たりか否かの判定を行い、普通図柄の変動表示を開始して、その判定結果を示す普通図柄を停止表示する。普通図柄保留ランプ15は、このように記憶されている当たり乱数の個数を表示するものである。なお、記憶される当たり乱数は4個が上限とされているため、4個の当たり乱数が記憶されている状態で遊技球がゲート8を通過しても、その通過に対する当たり乱数の取得は行われない。   When the game ball passes through the gate 8 during the normal symbol variation display or the auxiliary game, the main control board 20 (see FIG. 8) stores the winning random number acquired for the passage. Then, when the normal symbol variation display can be started, the stored random number is used to determine whether or not the symbol is a hit, and the normal symbol variation display is started. The normal symbol indicating is stopped and displayed. The normal symbol holding lamp 15 displays the number of hit random numbers stored in this way. In addition, since the maximum number of hit random numbers stored is four, even if a game ball passes through the gate 8 with four hit random numbers stored, acquisition of the hit random numbers for that pass is not performed. I will not.

次に、図2から5に基づいて、始動入賞装置5について詳述する。図2に示すように、始動入賞装置5は、前方側に配置される装飾部材46に、後方側に配置されるホルダ部材102を組み付けて構成されている。   Next, the start winning device 5 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

It is fixed. Further, at the center in the left-right direction of the upper surface 68b of the lower extending portion 68, a passage (hereinafter referred to as “second ball passage portion 69”) that makes the game ball won in the second start port 51b roll to the back side of the game board 2. ") Is formed. In addition, above the lower extending portion 68 on the back surface 65b of the flat plate portion 65, a swinging shaft 66 for pivotally supporting an opening / closing member 76, 83 to be described later is separated by a predetermined distance in the left-right direction. It protrudes toward the rear.

下部球受部64の平板部65と取着基板部48の前面48aには、前後方向に略遊技球の直径程度の厚みを有した開閉部材(いわゆる羽根)76,83が配設される。開閉部材76,83は、下部延設部68に形成された第2球通路部69を挟んで左右両側に配置される左右一対の部材であり、正面視左右対称な形状、詳しくは、上方に向かって薄肉となる略ドロップ形状の所謂チューリップ型となっている。なお、このような開閉部材76,83を有する装置は、一般的に電動チューリップ(電チュー)と称呼される。各開閉部材76,83は、それぞれ、元部76a,83a側に挿通孔77,84を有し、この挿通孔77,84を下部球受部64に形成された揺動軸66に挿通させて、下部球受部64と取着基板部48との間に軸支される。これにより、各開閉部材76,83は、揺動軸66を中心として、図2に示す矢印aの方向(相互に離れる方向)及び矢印bの方向(相互に近づく方向)に揺動可能となっている。   On the flat plate portion 65 of the lower ball receiving portion 64 and the front surface 48a of the attachment substrate portion 48, opening / closing members (so-called blades) 76, 83 having a thickness approximately equal to the diameter of the game ball are disposed in the front-rear direction. The opening and closing members 76 and 83 are a pair of left and right members disposed on both the left and right sides of the second ball passage portion 69 formed in the lower extending portion 68, and have a symmetrical shape in front view. It has a so-called tulip shape with a substantially drop shape that becomes thinner toward the surface. A device having such opening and closing members 76 and 83 is generally referred to as an electric tulip. Each of the opening / closing members 76 and 83 has insertion holes 77 and 84 on the base portions 76a and 83a side, respectively, and the insertion holes 77 and 84 are inserted through a swing shaft 66 formed in the lower ball receiving portion 64. The lower ball receiving portion 64 and the attachment substrate portion 48 are pivotally supported.

The first compression coil spring 118 always urges the sliding member 116 and the plunger 114 to push forward. The second compression coil spring 119 always urges the plunger 114 to push forward, but the restoring force is smaller than that of the first compression coil spring 118 and the plunger 114 protruding from the solenoid body 113. Is not so long that both the compression coil springs 118 and 119 can be restored, so that the second compression coil spring 119 is slid by the sliding member 116 biased forward by the first compression coil spring 118. Compressed between the member 116 and the tip 114b of the plunger 114 (see FIG. 6A). When the solenoid 112 is activated (excited), the plunger 114 moves backward against the urging force of the first compression coil spring 118.

Part 133. The connecting shaft part 133 extends in the horizontal direction from the rear part of the inner side surfaces 123a, 128a of the arm parts 123, 128. In the starting prize-winning device 5 in a state where each member is assembled (the state shown in FIG. 2), the above-described rearward extending portion 93 is formed between the opposing arm portions 123 and 128. The third ball passage portion 99 is located.

そして、左アーム部123の前端部124には、左開閉部材76の連繋軸78が突入し係合され、右アーム部128の前端部129には、右開閉部材83の連繋軸85が突入し係合される。また、両アーム部123,128の内側面123a,128aにおける連結軸部133の上方には、内側に向かって水平方向に沿って突出した係合軸125,130が形成されている。左アーム部123の係合軸125は、摺動部材116の係合溝116bに左側から係合し、右アーム部128の係合軸130は、摺動部材116の係合溝116bに右側から係合する。また、両アーム部123,128の外側面123b,128bの後部には、装飾部材46の左側壁部94及び右側壁部95に形成された軸支部97に軸支される揺動軸126,131が、左右方向に沿って突設されている。揺動軸126,131は、装飾部材46にホルダ部材102を組み付ける際、装飾部材46とホルダ部材102の間に回動可能に挟持される。なお、各部材が組み付けられた状態の始動入賞装置5において、連繋部材122は、ソレノイド112の動作に応じて、左右方向に沿う揺動軸126,131を中心として前後に揺動する(図6(a)(b)参照)。これにより、開閉部材76,83の連繋軸78,85が上下されるため、開閉部材76,83は、前後方向に沿う揺動軸66,66を中心として左右に揺動して、第2始動口51bを開閉することとなる。   The connecting shaft 78 of the left opening / closing member 76 enters and engages with the front end portion 124 of the left arm portion 123, and the connecting shaft 85 of the right opening / closing member 83 enters the front end portion 129 of the right arm portion 128. Engaged. Engagement shafts 125 and 130 projecting in the horizontal direction toward the inside are formed above the connecting shaft portion 133 on the inner side surfaces 123a and 128a of both arm portions 123 and 128. The engagement shaft 125 of the left arm portion 123 is engaged with the engagement groove 116b of the sliding member 116 from the left side, and the engagement shaft 130 of the right arm portion 128 is engaged with the engagement groove 116b of the sliding member 116 from the right side. Engage. Further, on the rear portions of the outer surfaces 123b and 128b of the arm portions 123 and 128, the swing shafts 126 and 131 pivotally supported by the shaft support portions 97 formed on the left wall portion 94 and the right wall portion 95 of the decorative member 46, respectively. However, it protrudes along the left-right direction. When the holder member 102 is assembled to the decorative member 46, the swing shafts 126 and 131 are rotatably held between the decorative member 46 and the holder member 102. In the start winning device 5 in which each member is assembled, the connecting member 122 swings back and forth around the swinging shafts 126 and 131 along the left-right direction according to the operation of the solenoid 112 (FIG. 6). (See (a) and (b)). As a result, the connecting shafts 78 and 85 of the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are moved up and down, so that the opening and closing members 76 and 83 swing left and right around the swinging shafts 66 and 66 along the front-rear direction. The mouth 51b is opened and closed.

シャッター片(規制部材に相当)142は、略平板形状とされ、左側面及び右側面の上部に、左右方向に沿って突設された回動軸部144を有し、この回動軸部144を、プランジャーカバー135の軸孔137に内側から挿通させて、プランジャーカバー135に回動可能に軸支される。シャッター片142の上部143は、プランジャー114の先端部114bの下端形状に合わせて、下方に向けて円弧形状に切り欠かれている。また、シャッター片142は、図6(a)に示すように、ソレノイド112の非作動時は、後述する水平突出部108の前端部109によって、回動軸部144の形成されている上部143からその反対側となる下部145に向かって徐々に前方へ突出する姿勢(仮想鉛直面に対するシャッター片142の後面142aの傾斜角が約45度の姿勢)に支持されている。この状態では、シャッター片142の下部145の前面145aは、鉛直方向に略沿った状態にあり、取着基板部48の入賞球通し孔50に後方から臨んで、遊技球の通過を規制している。これにより、開閉部材76,83の強制開放によって第2始動口51bに入賞した遊技球は、第2球通路部69から第3球通路部99へ転動していくのをせき止められることとなる。   A shutter piece (corresponding to a restricting member) 142 has a substantially flat plate shape, and has a rotating shaft portion 144 protruding along the left-right direction on the left side surface and the right side surface, and the rotating shaft portion 144. Is inserted into the shaft hole 137 of the plunger cover 135 from the inside, and is pivotally supported by the plunger cover 135. The upper part 143 of the shutter piece 142 is notched in a circular arc shape downward so as to match the lower end shape of the tip end part 114 b of the plunger 114. 6A, when the solenoid 112 is not operated, the shutter piece 142 is moved from the upper portion 143 where the rotation shaft portion 144 is formed by the front end portion 109 of the horizontal protrusion 108 described later. It is supported in a posture that gradually protrudes forward toward the lower portion 145 on the opposite side (a posture in which the inclination angle of the rear surface 142a of the shutter piece 142 with respect to the virtual vertical surface is about 45 degrees). In this state, the front surface 145a of the lower portion 145 of the shutter piece 142 is in a state substantially along the vertical direction, and faces the winning ball passing hole 50 of the attachment board portion 48 from the rear side to restrict the passage of the game ball. Yes. As a result, the game ball won in the second starting port 51b by forcibly opening the opening / closing members 76 and 83 is prevented from rolling from the second ball passage portion 69 to the third ball passage portion 99. .

ここで、図6(a)に示すように、ホルダ部材102は、ソレノイドホルダ105を形成する右側面視略L字形状の中板部107を有している。中板部107は、水平突出部108及び鉛直部110から構成され、水平突出部108の後方側の下面108aおよび鉛直部110の前面110aは、第3球通路部99を転動してきた遊技球を、第2始動口SW54bの検知孔部55に向けて案内するガイド面となっている。水平突出部108は、前後方向の長さ寸法をソレノイド112の前後方向の長さ寸法と同程度としている。水平突出部108の上面108bの後方側には、ソレノイド本体113が載置され固定される。水平突出部108の上面108bの前方側は、ソレノイド112が作動してプランジャー114が後方へ移動したときに、プランジャーカバー135に軸支されているシャッター片142が乗り上げる係合面となっている。さらに、水平突出部108の前端面108cは、ソレノイド112が作動したときにシャッター片142が乗り上げ易いよう、上方から下方にかけて前方へ傾斜した傾斜面となっている。これにより、ソレノイド112が作動すると、シャッター片142は、後面142aを水平突出部108の前端面108cに沿って滑らせ、水平突出部108の上面108bの前方側に乗るようにして、左右方向に沿った回動軸部144を中心に上方へ回動し、入賞球通し孔50の通過規制を解除して、第2始動口51bに入賞した遊技球が第2球通路部69から第3球通路部99へと転動できるようにする(図6(b)参照)。   Here, as shown in FIG. 6A, the holder member 102 has a middle plate portion 107 that is substantially L-shaped when viewed from the right side and that forms the solenoid holder 105. The middle plate portion 107 is composed of a horizontal protrusion portion 108 and a vertical portion 110, and a lower surface 108 a on the rear side of the horizontal protrusion portion 108 and a front surface 110 a of the vertical portion 110 have rolled the third ball passage portion 99. Is a guide surface that guides the detection hole 55 toward the detection hole 55 of the second start port SW54b. The horizontal protrusion 108 has a length dimension in the front-rear direction equal to that of the solenoid 112 in the front-rear direction. On the rear side of the upper surface 108b of the horizontal protrusion 108, the solenoid body 113 is placed and fixed. The front side of the upper surface 108b of the horizontal protrusion 108 is an engagement surface on which the shutter piece 142 supported by the plunger cover 135 rides when the solenoid 112 is operated and the plunger 114 moves rearward. Yes. Further, the front end surface 108c of the horizontal protrusion 108 is an inclined surface that is inclined forward from the top to the bottom so that the shutter piece 142 can easily ride when the solenoid 112 is operated. Thus, when the solenoid 112 is activated, the shutter piece 142 slides the rear surface 142a along the front end surface 108c of the horizontal protruding portion 108 and rides on the front side of the upper surface 108b of the horizontal protruding portion 108 in the left-right direction. The game ball that pivots upward about the pivot shaft 144 along the path, cancels the passage restriction of the winning ball passage hole 50, and wins the second starting port 51b is passed from the second ball passage portion 69 to the third ball. It can be rolled to the passage portion 99 (see FIG. 6B).

(3)遊技状態等の説明
次に、実施形態のパチンコ遊技機1の遊技状態等について説明する。実施形態のパチンコ遊技機1は、通常遊技状態、時短遊技状態、確変遊技状態、潜確遊技状態の4つの遊技状態と、大当たり遊技、小当たり遊技とを有している。
(3) Description of game state etc. Next, the game state etc. of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the embodiment will be described. The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment has four game states, a normal game state, a short-time game state, a probability variation game state, and a latent probability game state, and a jackpot game and a jackpot game.

時短遊技状態とは、通常遊技状態よりも第2始動口51bへ遊技球が入賞し易い状態をいい、通常遊技状態では、普通図柄抽選の当選確率が約1/10、普通図柄変動時間が4秒、開閉部材76,83の開放時間が0.15秒、開閉部材76,83の開放回数が1回であるのに対して、時短遊技状態では、普通図柄抽選の当選確率が約9/10、普通図柄変動時間が1.5秒、開閉部材76,83の開放時間が1.80秒、開閉部材76,83の開放回数が3回となっている。   The short-time gaming state refers to a state in which a game ball is more likely to win the second starting port 51b than in the normal gaming state. In the normal gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery is about 1/10, and the normal symbol variation time is 4 Second, the opening time of the opening and closing members 76 and 83 is 0.15 seconds, and the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are opened once, whereas in the short-time gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery is about 9/10. The symbol variation time is 1.5 seconds, the opening time of the opening and closing members 76 and 83 is 1.80 seconds, and the opening times of the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are three.

確変遊技状態とは、通常遊技状態よりも大当たりに当選しやすく、かつ第2始動口51bへ遊技球が入賞し易い状態をいい、通常遊技状態では、大当たり当選確率が約1/300であるのに対して、確変遊技状態では、大当たり当選確率が約1/30となっている。また、確変遊技状態では、時短遊技状態と同様、普通図柄抽選の当選確率が約9/10、普通図柄変動時間が1.5秒、開閉部材76,83の開放時間が1.80秒、開閉部材76,83の開放回数が3回となっている。   The probable gaming state is a state where it is easier to win a big hit than the normal gaming state, and a game ball is easy to win the second starting port 51b. In the normal gaming state, the probability of winning a big hit is about 1/300. On the other hand, in the probability variation gaming state, the jackpot winning probability is about 1/30. Also, in the probability variation gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery is about 9/10, the normal symbol variation time is 1.5 seconds, the opening time of the opening and closing members 76 and 83 is 1.80 seconds, and the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are the same as in the short time gaming state. Has been opened three times.

潜確遊技状態とは、通常遊技状態よりも大当たりに当選しやすい状態をいい、潜確遊技状態では、確変遊技状態と同様、大当たり当選確率が約1/30となっている。また、潜確遊技状態では、通常遊技状態と同様、普通図柄抽選の当選確率が約1/10、普通図柄変動時間が4秒、開閉部材76,83の開放時間が0.15秒、開閉部材76,83の開放回数が1回となっている。   The latent game state means a state where it is easier to win a jackpot than the normal game state. In the latent game state, the jackpot winning probability is about 1/30 as in the case of the probability variation game state. In the latent game state, as in the normal game state, the winning probability of the normal symbol lottery is about 1/10, the normal symbol fluctuation time is 4 seconds, the opening time of the opening and closing members 76 and 83 is 0.15 seconds, and the opening and closing members 76, 83 is opened once.

そして、初期状態では(即ち、電源が投入されて最初の遊技が開始されるときは)通常遊技状態であり、大当たりが発生すれば、大入賞口71を所定回数開閉する大当たり遊技を経て、その大当たりの種類に応じた遊技状態に遷移する。大当たりの種類には、ほとんど賞球の獲得が望めない短当たりとして、2R(ラウンド)潜確大当たりがあり、多くの賞球を獲得可能な長当たりとして、15R(ラウンド)確変大当たり、15R(ラウンド)通常大当たりがある。また、これら大当たりの他に小当たりがある。なお、ラウンドとは大入賞口71の開放期間を言う。2R潜確大当たりでは、大入賞口71を極短時間2回開放する大当たり遊技を行った後、潜確遊技状態に遷移し、15R確変大当たりでは、大入賞口71を15回開放する大当たり遊技を行った後、確変遊技状態に遷移し、15R通常大当たりでは、大入賞口71を15回開放する大当たり遊技を行った後、時短遊技状態に遷移する。また、小当たりは、見かけ上2R潜確大当たりと変わらない動作をするもので、大入賞口71を極短時間2回開放する小当たり遊技を行うが、遊技状態は遷移しない。なお、時短遊技状態において途中で大当たりが発生することなく100回の特別図柄変動が行われたときも、通常遊技状態に遷移する。   In the initial state (that is, when the first game is started when the power is turned on), if a big win occurs, the big win game 71 is opened and closed a predetermined number of times, Transition to the gaming state according to the type of jackpot. There are 2R (round) latent big hits as short hits where almost no prize balls can be expected, and 15R (round) probable big hits, 15R (round). ) There is usually a jackpot. In addition to these jackpots, there is a jackpot. In addition, a round means the open period of the big winning opening 71. In the 2R latent winning jackpot, after performing a jackpot game that opens the winning prize opening 71 twice in a very short time, transitions to the latent winning gaming state, and in the 15R probability changing jackpot, the jackpot gaming that opens the winning prize opening 71 15 times. After having performed, it changes to a probability change game state, and in 15R normal jackpot, after performing the jackpot game which opens the big winning opening 71 15 times, it changes to a time-short game state. The small hit is an operation that apparently does not differ from the 2R latent big hit, and a small hit game that opens the big winning opening 71 twice in a very short time is performed, but the gaming state does not change. It should be noted that the transition to the normal gaming state is also made when the special symbol change is performed 100 times without causing a big hit in the middle of the short-time gaming state.

なお、大当たり及び小当たりの抽選は大当たり乱数を用いて行われ、大当たりに当選した場合に当選した大当たりがいずれの種類の大当たりとなるかの抽選は、大当たり図柄乱数を用いて行われる。大当たり乱数は、図9(a)(b)に示すように、0〜299までの範囲で値をとることとされ、通常遊技状態時又は時短遊技状態時では、大当たりに当選する割合が1/300となるよう大当たりに当選する乱数値が定められるとともに、小当たりに当選する割合が3/300となるよう、小当たりに当選する乱数値が定められている。また、大当たり乱数は、確変遊技状態時又は潜確遊技状態時では、大当たりに当選する割合が10/300となるよう、大当たりに当選する乱数値が定められるとともに、小当たりに当選する割合が3/300となるよう、小当たりに当選する乱数値が定められている。大当たり図柄乱数は、図9(c)(d)に示すように、0〜249までの範囲で値をとることとされ、第1始動口51aへの入賞に対しては、15R通常大当たりに当選する割合が100/250となり、15R確変大当たりに当選する割合が75/250となり、2R潜確大当たりに当選する割合が75/250になるよう各大当たりに当選する乱数値が定められ、第2始動口51bへの入賞に対しては、15R通常大当たりに当選する割合が100/250となり、15R確変大当たりに当選する割合が125/250となり、2R潜確大当たりに当選する割合が25/250になるよう各大当たりに当選する乱数値が定められており、第1始動口51aへ入賞したときよりも長当たりに当選する割合が高くなっている。   Note that the lottery for the jackpot and the jackpot is performed using a jackpot random number, and when the jackpot is won, the lottery for which type of jackpot will be the jackpot is performed using the jackpot symbol random number. As shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b), the jackpot random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 299. In the normal gaming state or the short-time gaming state, the ratio of winning the jackpot is 1 / A random number value to be won for the jackpot is determined to be 300, and a random value to be won for the jackpot is determined so that the ratio of winning the jackpot is 3/300. In the jackpot random number, a random number value for winning the jackpot is determined so that the winning ratio for winning the jackpot is 10/300 in the probability variation gaming state or the latent probability gaming state, and the ratio for winning the jackpot is 3 A random number value to be won on a small hit is determined so as to be / 300. As shown in FIGS. 9 (c) and 9 (d), the jackpot symbol random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 249. For winning to the first start opening 51 a, 15 R is usually won by big hit The random number value to be won for each jackpot is determined so that the winning ratio for the 15R probability variation jackpot is 75/250, and the winning ratio for the 2R latent chance jackpot is 75/250, and the second start For winning to the mouth 51b, the winning ratio for 15R normal jackpot is 100/250, the winning ratio for 15R probability variation jackpot is 125/250, and the winning ratio for 2R latent jackpot is 25/250. A random number value to be won for each jackpot is determined as described above, and the percentage to win per long is higher than when winning the first starting port 51a.

(4)パチンコ遊技機の動作
次に、図10〜17に基づいてメイン制御基板20の動作について説明する。なお、後述する各カウンタは、RAMに設けられ、パチンコ遊技機1の電源投入時にゼロクリアされる。
(4) Operation of Pachinko Game Machine Next, the operation of the main control board 20 will be described based on FIGS. Each counter, which will be described later, is provided in the RAM and cleared to zero when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is powered on.

[メイン側タイマ割込処理]メイン制御基板20は、図10に示すメイン側タイマ割込処理を例えば4msecといった短時間毎に繰り返す。まず、メイン制御基板20は、大当たり抽選に用いる大当たり乱数、大当たり図柄の種類を決めるための図柄乱数、変動パターンを決めるための変動パターン乱数、普通図柄抽選に用いる当たり乱数等を更新する乱数更新処理を行う(ステップS101)。   [Main-side timer interrupt process] The main control board 20 repeats the main-side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 10 every short time, for example, 4 msec. First, the main control board 20 updates the random number update process for updating the jackpot random number used for the jackpot lottery, the symbol random number for determining the type of jackpot symbol, the variation pattern random number for determining the variation pattern, the winning random number used for the normal symbol lottery, etc. Is performed (step S101).

次に、メイン制御基板20は、後述する始動口SW処理(S102)、ゲートSW処理(S103)の他、大入賞口SW処理(S104)及び普通入賞口SW処理(S105)を行う。大入賞口SW処理は、大入賞口SW74がONしていれば、大当たり遊技中又は小当たり遊技中(後述する当たり遊技フラグがON)か否かを判定して、大当たり遊技中又は小当たり遊技中であれば、入賞個数カウンタの値Cに1を加算するとともに、大入賞口カウンタの値に1を加算する処理である。普通入賞口SW処理は、普通入賞口SW91がONしていれば普通入賞口カウンタの値に1を加算する処理である。   Next, the main control board 20 performs a large winning opening SW process (S104) and a normal winning opening SW process (S105) in addition to a start opening SW process (S102) and a gate SW process (S103) which will be described later. In the big winning opening SW processing, if the big winning opening SW 74 is ON, it is determined whether or not the big hit game or the small hit game is in progress (a hit game flag described later is ON). If it is medium, 1 is added to the value C of the winning prize counter and 1 is added to the value of the big winning counter. The normal winning opening SW process is a process of adding 1 to the value of the normal winning opening counter if the normal winning opening SW 91 is ON.

続いて、メイン制御基板20は、後述する特別図柄処理(S106)、普通図柄処理(S107)、大入賞口処理(S108)、及び、電チュー処理(S109)を行う。そして、メイン制御基板20は、大入賞口カウンタの値に応じた数の賞球、及び、普通入賞口カウンタの値に応じた数の賞球を払い出すためのコマンドをセットして、それらのカウンタをゼロクリアする賞球処理(S110)を行い、以上の各処理においてセットしたコマンドを払出制御基板21及び演出制御基板22に出力する出力処理(S111)を行う。   Subsequently, the main control board 20 performs a special symbol process (S106), a normal symbol process (S107), a big prize opening process (S108), and an electric chew process (S109), which will be described later. Then, the main control board 20 sets a command for paying out the number of prize balls according to the value of the big prize mouth counter and the number of prize balls according to the value of the normal prize mouth counter, A prize ball process (S110) for clearing the counter to zero is performed, and an output process (S111) for outputting the command set in each of the above processes to the payout control board 21 and the effect control board 22 is performed.

[始動口SW処理]図11に示すように、始動口SW処理では、メイン制御基板20は第1始動口SW54aがONしたか否かを判定し(S201)、ONしていなければステップS206に進み、ONしていれば、第1保留記憶部27aに記憶されている大当たり乱数の個数を数える第1始動口保留カウンタの値U1が、上限値の4未満か否かを判定する(S202)。そして、4未満でない場合はステップS206に進み、4未満の場合は、U1に1を加算して(S203)、大当たり乱数を取得して第1保留記憶部27aに格納するとともに、大当たり図柄乱数等を取得して所定記憶域に記憶し(S204)、第1保留数増加コマンドをセットする(S205)。   [Starting Port SW Process] As shown in FIG. 11, in the starting port SW process, the main control board 20 determines whether or not the first starting port SW54a is turned on (S201). If the process proceeds and is ON, it is determined whether or not the value U1 of the first start port hold counter that counts the number of jackpot random numbers stored in the first hold storage unit 27a is less than the upper limit of 4 (S202). . If it is not less than 4, the process proceeds to step S206. If it is less than 4, 1 is added to U1 (S203), a jackpot random number is acquired and stored in the first reserved storage unit 27a, and a jackpot symbol random number, etc. Is acquired and stored in a predetermined storage area (S204), and a first pending number increase command is set (S205).

ステップS206では、メイン制御基板20は第2始動口SW54bがONしたか否かを判定し、ONしていなければ始動口SW処理を終え、ONしていれば、第2保留記憶部27bに記憶されている大当たり乱数の個数を数える第2始動口保留カウンタの値U2が、上限値の4未満か否かを判定する(S207)。そして、4未満でない場合は始動口SW処理を終え、4未満の場合は、U2に1を加算して(S208)、大当たり乱数を取得して第2保留記憶部27bに格納するとともに、大当たり図柄乱数等を取得して所定記憶域に記憶し(S209)、第2保留数増加コマンドをセットして(S210)、始動口SW処理を終える。   In step S206, the main control board 20 determines whether or not the second start port SW54b is turned on. If not, the main control board 20 finishes the start port SW process. If it is turned on, the main control board 20 stores it in the second hold storage unit 27b. It is determined whether or not the value U2 of the second start port hold counter that counts the number of jackpot random numbers that are being used is less than the upper limit of 4 (S207). If it is not less than 4, the start-up SW processing is terminated. If it is less than 4, 1 is added to U2 (S208), a big hit random number is obtained and stored in the second reserved storage unit 27b, and the big hit symbol is obtained. A random number or the like is acquired and stored in a predetermined storage area (S209), a second hold number increase command is set (S210), and the start port SW process is terminated.

[ゲートSW処理]図12に示すように、ゲートSW処理では、メイン制御基板20はゲートSW81がONしたか否かを判定し(S301)、ONしていなければゲートSW処理を終え、ONしていれば、ゲート保留カウンタの値Gが上限値の4未満か否かを判定する(S302)。そして、4未満でない場合はゲートSW処理を終え、4未満であればGに1を加算して(S303)、普通図柄抽選に用いる当たり乱数を取得して所定記憶域に格納し(S304)、ゲートSW処理を終える。   [Gate SW Processing] As shown in FIG. 12, in the gate SW processing, the main control board 20 determines whether or not the gate SW 81 is turned on (S301). If so, it is determined whether the value G of the gate hold counter is less than the upper limit of 4 (S302). If it is not less than 4, the gate SW processing is terminated. If it is less than 4, 1 is added to G (S303), a random number used for normal symbol lottery is acquired and stored in a predetermined storage area (S304), The gate SW process ends.

[特別図柄処理]図13に示すように、特別図柄処理では、メイン制御基板20は、当たり遊技中か否かを示す当たり遊技フラグ(即ち、小当たり遊技フラグ、長当たり遊技フラグ、又は、短当たり遊技フラグ)がONか否かを判定し(S401)、ONであれば特別図柄処理を終え、ONでなければ特別図柄の変動中か否かを判定する(S402)。そして、変動中であればステップS411に進み、変動中でなければ、第2始動口保留カウンタの値U2又は第1始動口保留カウンタの値U1が1以上か否かを判定する(S403,S405)。そして、U2又はU1が1以上でなければ特別図柄処理を終え、U2又はU1が1以上であればU2又はU1から1を減算して(S404,S406)、ステップS204又はS209で格納しておいた大当たり乱数を用いて大当たり判定処理を行う(S407)。   [Special Symbol Processing] As shown in FIG. 13, in the special symbol processing, the main control board 20 makes a winning game flag indicating whether or not a winning game is being played (that is, a small winning game flag, a long winning game flag, or a short game flag). It is determined whether or not the winning game flag) is ON (S401). If it is ON, the special symbol processing is finished, and if it is not ON, it is determined whether or not the special symbol is changing (S402). If it is changing, the process proceeds to step S411. If it is not changing, it is determined whether or not the value U2 of the second start port hold counter or the value U1 of the first start port hold counter is 1 or more (S403, S405). ). If U2 or U1 is not 1 or more, the special symbol processing is finished. If U2 or U1 is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from U2 or U1 (S404, S406) and stored in step S204 or S209. The jackpot determination processing is performed using the hit jackpot random number (S407).

大当たり判定処理(S407)では、図14に示すように、メイン制御基板20は、大当たり判定用テーブルを用いてステップS204又はS209で格納した大当たり乱数が大当たりか否かの判定を行い(S501)、大当たりであれば大当たり図柄乱数がどの大当たり図柄を示すものかを判定して、その大当たり図柄をセットし(S502でYES,S503,S504)、小当たりであれば小当たり図柄をセットし(S502でNO,S505でYES,S506)、大当たりでも小当たりでもなければハズレ図柄をセットする(S505でNO,S507)。なお、大当たり図柄によって、大当たりの種類が決まる(図9(c)(d)参照)。   In the jackpot determination process (S407), as shown in FIG. 14, the main control board 20 determines whether the jackpot random number stored in step S204 or S209 is a jackpot using the jackpot determination table (S501), If it is a jackpot, determine which jackpot symbol the jackpot symbol represents, and set the jackpot symbol (YES in S502, S503, S504), if it is a jackpot, set the jackpot symbol (S502) If NO, S505, YES, S506), and if it is neither big hit nor small hit, set a lost symbol (NO, S507 in S505). Note that the type of jackpot is determined by the jackpot symbol (see FIGS. 9C and 9D).

続いて、メイン制御基板20は、図13に示すように、変動パターン選択処理を行う(S408)。変動パターン選択処理では、直前の大当たり判定処理において大当たりと判定していれば、乱数値と変動パターンとの対応を示す変動パターンテーブルとして大当たり用テーブルを参照し、小当たりと判定していれば小当たり用テーブルを参照し、大当たりでも小当たりでもないと判定していればハズレ用テーブルを参照して、ステップS204又はS209で格納しておいた変動パターン乱数がいずれの変動パターンを示すかの判定を行い、変動パターンをセットする。なお、変動パターンには変動時間を示す情報が含まれている。   Subsequently, the main control board 20 performs a variation pattern selection process as shown in FIG. 13 (S408). In the variation pattern selection process, if it is determined that the jackpot is determined in the immediately preceding jackpot determination process, the jackpot table is referred to as a variation pattern table indicating the correspondence between the random value and the variation pattern, and if it is determined that the jackpot is small, Refer to the winning table, and if it is determined that it is neither big hit nor small hit, refer to the lost table and determine which variation pattern the variation pattern random number stored in step S204 or S209 indicates. To set the variation pattern. Note that the variation pattern includes information indicating the variation time.

その後、メイン制御基板20は、第1特別図柄表示器14aまたは第2特別図柄表示器14bにおいて特別図柄の変動を開始し(S409)、変動開始コマンドをセットして(S410)、ステップS411に進む。ステップS411では、特別図柄の変動時間が経過したか否かを判定し、経過していなければ特別図柄処理を終えるが、経過していれば特別図柄の変動を停止して、大当たり判定処理でセットされた図柄で特別図柄を確定表示し(S412)、変動停止コマンドをセットする(S413)。そして、停止中処理(S414)として、各種遊技フラグ(時短遊技フラグ、確変遊技フラグ、潜確遊技フラグ、小当たり遊技フラグ、長当たり遊技フラグ、短当たり遊技フラグ)のON/OFFに関する処理をし、大当たり又は小当たりであれば、オープニングを開始するとともに、オープニングコマンドをセットして、特別図柄処理を終える。   Thereafter, the main control board 20 starts the variation of the special symbol in the first special symbol display 14a or the second special symbol display 14b (S409), sets a variation start command (S410), and proceeds to step S411. . In step S411, it is determined whether or not the variation time of the special symbol has elapsed. If it has not elapsed, the special symbol processing is terminated, but if it has elapsed, the variation of the special symbol is stopped and set in the jackpot determination processing. The special symbol is fixedly displayed with the symbol that has been displayed (S412), and a variable stop command is set (S413). Then, as processing during stoppage (S414), processing related to ON / OFF of various game flags (time-short game flag, probability change game flag, latent probability game flag, small hit game flag, long hit game flag, short hit game flag) is performed. If it is a big win or a small win, the opening is started and the opening command is set to finish the special symbol processing.

[普通図柄処理]図15に示すように、普通図柄処理では、メイン制御基板20は、補助遊技中か否かを示す補助遊技フラグがONか否かを判定し(S601)、ONであれば普通図柄処理を終え、ONでなければ普通図柄の変動中か否かを判定する(S602)。そして、変動中の場合にはステップS609に進み、変動中でない場合には、ゲート保留カウンタの値Gが1以上か否かを判定し(S603)、Gが1以上でなければ普通図柄処理を終え、Gが1以上であればGから1を減算して(S604)、ステップS304で格納しておいた当たり乱数が当たりか否かを判定して(S605)、停止図柄を選択する(S606)。そして、遊技状態に応じた変動時間(本実施形態では、通常遊技状態または潜確遊技状態であれば4秒、時短遊技状態または確変遊技状態であれば1.5秒)を選択し(S607)、普通図柄の変動を開始して(S608)、ステップS609に進む。   [Normal Symbol Processing] As shown in FIG. 15, in the normal symbol processing, the main control board 20 determines whether or not an auxiliary game flag indicating whether or not an auxiliary game is in progress (S601). If the normal symbol processing is finished, and if it is not ON, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol is changing (S602). If it is changing, the process proceeds to step S609. If it is not changing, it is determined whether or not the value G of the gate hold counter is 1 or more (S603). If G is not 1 or more, normal symbol processing is performed. When G is 1 or more, 1 is subtracted from G (S604), it is determined whether or not the winning random number stored in step S304 is hit (S605), and a stop symbol is selected (S606). ). Then, a variation time corresponding to the gaming state (in this embodiment, 4 seconds for the normal gaming state or the latent probability gaming state, 1.5 seconds for the short-time gaming state or the probability variation gaming state) is selected (S607). The change of the symbol is started (S608), and the process proceeds to step S609.

ステップS609では、メイン制御基板20は、変動時間が経過したか否かを判定し、経過していなければ普通図柄処理を終えるが、経過していれば、普通図柄の変動を停止して停止図柄を表示する(S610)。そして、停止図柄が当たりを示す図柄であれば(S611でYES)、補助遊技フラグをONし(S612)、ハズレを示す図柄であれば(S611でNO)、普通図柄処理を終える。   In step S609, the main control board 20 determines whether or not the variation time has elapsed, and if not, the normal symbol processing ends, but if it has elapsed, the variation of the ordinary symbol is stopped and stopped. Is displayed (S610). If the stop symbol is a symbol indicating winning (YES in S611), the auxiliary game flag is turned ON (S612). If the symbol indicating a loss is determined (NO in S611), the normal symbol processing is terminated.

[大入賞口処理]図16に示すように、大入賞口処理では、メイン制御基板20は、まず、当たり遊技フラグがONか否かを判定し(S701)、ONでなければ大入賞口処理を終えるが、ONであれば、オープニング中であるか否かを判定する(S702)。オープニングとは、大当たり遊技の開始から第1ラウンドの開始までの期間をいう。メイン制御基板20は、オープニング中と判定した場合には、オープニング時間が経過したか否かを判定し(S703)、経過していなければ大入賞口処理を終え、経過していれば、大当たりの種類に応じた最大R数(ラウンド数)と作動パターンとを設定する(S704)。そして、入賞個数カウンタの値Cをゼロクリアし(S705)、ラウンドカウンタの値Rに1を加算し(S706)、大入賞口71の作動(開放)を開始する(S707)。   [Big prize opening process] As shown in FIG. 16, in the big prize opening process, the main control board 20 first determines whether or not the winning game flag is ON (S701). If it is ON, it is determined whether or not opening is in progress (S702). The opening is a period from the start of the jackpot game to the start of the first round. If it is determined that the opening is in progress, the main control board 20 determines whether or not the opening time has elapsed (S703). A maximum R number (round number) and an operation pattern according to the type are set (S704). Then, the value C of the winning number counter is cleared to zero (S705), 1 is added to the value R of the round counter (S706), and the operation (opening) of the big winning opening 71 is started (S707).

次に、メイン制御基板20は、大入賞口71の作動時間(開放時間。例えば、長当たりであれば29.5秒、短当たりまたは小当たりであれば0.1秒等)が経過したか否かを判定し(S708)、経過していれば大入賞口71を閉口し(S710)、経過していなければ、入賞個数カウンタの値Cが規定個数であるか否かを判定して(S709)、規定個数でなければ大入賞口処理を終え、規定個数であれば大入賞口71を閉口する(S710)。   Next, the main control board 20 determines whether or not the operating time (opening time. For example, 29.5 seconds for long wins, 0.1 second for short wins or small wins) has passed. If it has elapsed (S708), the big winning opening 71 is closed (S710), and if it has not elapsed, it is determined whether or not the value C of the winning number counter is a predetermined number (S709). If the number is not the number, the big prize opening process is finished, and if the number is the prescribed number, the big prize opening 71 is closed (S710).

そして、メイン制御基板20は、ラウンドカウンタの値Rが最大R数であるか否かを判定し(S711)、最大R数でなければ大入賞口処理を終え、最大R数であれば、エンディングを開始して(S712)、エンディングコマンドをセットし(S713)、ラウンドカウンタの値Rをゼロクリアする(S714)。なお、エンディングとは、最終ラウンドの終了から大当たり遊技の終了までの期間をいう。次に、メイン制御基板20は、エンディング時間が経過したか否かを判定し(S717)、経過していなければ大入賞口処理を終え、経過していれば遊技状態設定処理を行って(S718)、当たり遊技フラグをOFFする(S719)。遊技状態設定処理では、メイン制御基板20は、今終了した当たり遊技が、小当たりであれば、遊技状態を遷移させないので遊技状態設定処理を終え、15R通常大当たりであれば、時短遊技状態に遷移させるため時短遊技フラグをONし、15R確変大当たりであれば、確変遊技状態に遷移させるため確変遊技フラグをONし、2R潜確大当たりであれば、潜確遊技状態に遷移させるため潜確遊技フラグをONする。   Then, the main control board 20 determines whether or not the value R of the round counter is the maximum number of Rs (S711). If it is not the maximum number of Rs, the big winning opening process is finished. Is started (S712), an ending command is set (S713), and the value R of the round counter is cleared to zero (S714). Ending refers to the period from the end of the final round to the end of the jackpot game. Next, the main control board 20 determines whether or not the ending time has passed (S717). If it has not elapsed, the main winning a prize mouth process is completed, and if it has elapsed, the game state setting process is performed (S718). ), The winning game flag is turned OFF (S719). In the game state setting process, the main control board 20 finishes the game state setting process if the hit game just ended is a small hit, so the game state is not changed, and if it is 15R normal big hit, transitions to the short-time game state. If the 15R probability variation jackpot is turned ON, the probability variation game flag is turned ON to make a transition to the probability variation gaming state. If the 2R latent probability jackpot is made, the latent probability game flag is made to transition to the latent probability gaming state. Turn on.

一方、メイン制御基板20は、ステップS702においてオープニング中でないと判定したときは、大入賞口71がエンディング中であるか否かを判定し(S715)、エンディング中であればステップS717に移行し、エンディング中でなければ大入賞口71の作動中か否かを判定する(S716)。そして、作動中でなければステップS705に移行し、作動中であればステップS708に移行する。   On the other hand, when the main control board 20 determines in step S702 that it is not opening, it determines whether or not the special winning opening 71 is ending (S715). If it is ending, the process proceeds to step S717. If it is not ending, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 71 is in operation (S716). If not in operation, the process proceeds to step S705, and if in operation, the process proceeds to step S708.

[電チュー処理]図17に示すように、電チュー処理では、メイン制御基板20は、補助遊技フラグがONか否かを判定し(S801)、ONでないと判定すれば電チュー処理を終える。一方、ONと判定すれば、開閉部材76,83、すなわちソレノイド112が作動中か否かを判定し(S802)、作動中でなければ、現在の遊技状態に応じた開閉部材76,83の作動パターン(本実施形態では、通常遊技状態または潜確遊技状態であれば0.15秒の開放を1回、時短遊技状態または確変遊技状態であれば1.80秒の開放を3回)を選択して(S803)、その作動パターンに則った作動を開始する(S804)。次に、メイン制御基板20は、作動時間(複数の開放を含む作動パターンでは、開放間のインターバル時間を含む。)が経過したか否かを判定し(S805)、経過していなければ電チュー処理を終え、経過していれば補助遊技フラグをOFFして(S806)、電チュー処理を終える。   [Electric Chu Process] As shown in FIG. 17, in the electric chew process, the main control board 20 determines whether or not the auxiliary game flag is ON (S801). On the other hand, if it is determined to be ON, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing members 76 and 83, that is, the solenoid 112 is operating (S802). If not, the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are activated according to the current gaming state. Select a pattern (in this embodiment, if the game state is normal or latent game state, release 0.15 seconds once, and if the game is short-time game state or probability change game state, release 1.80 seconds is three times) (S803 ), The operation according to the operation pattern is started (S804). Next, the main control board 20 determines whether or not the operation time (in the operation pattern including a plurality of releases, includes an interval time between the releases) (S805). If the process is finished and the time has elapsed, the auxiliary game flag is turned off (S806), and the electric chew process is finished.

(5)始動入賞装置5の動作
次に、上記のように構成されたパチンコ遊技機1の始動入賞装置5の動作について説明する。まず、正常に遊技されている場合の動作について説明し、続いて、開閉部材76,83を強制開放された場合の動作について説明する。
(5) Operation of the start winning device 5 Next, the operation of the start winning device 5 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 configured as described above will be described. First, an operation when the game is played normally will be described, and then an operation when the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are forcibly opened will be described.

(A)正常に遊技されている場合の動作
遊技者は、ハンドル11を操作して、発射した遊技球が遊技領域3の左側部分3a(図1参照)を転動落下するよう遊技する。遊技領域3の左側部分3aを転動落下していく遊技球は、ゲート8を通過し得る。遊技球がゲート8を通過すると、メイン制御基板20は、ゲート8を通過した遊技球の保留個数が4個未満であることを条件として当たり乱数を取得し(S301〜S304参照)、当たり乱数判定処理を行う(S605参照)。当たり乱数判定処理において、当たり乱数が所定の当たり乱数値に該当すると判定された場合、普通図柄表示器13において普通図柄を変動表示した後、普通図柄を当たり図柄で停止させて、補助遊技を実行する(S608〜S612、及び電チュー処理参照)。
(A) Operation in the case of a normal game The player operates the handle 11 to play a game ball so that the fired game ball rolls and falls on the left side portion 3a (see FIG. 1) of the game area 3. A game ball rolling and falling on the left side portion 3 a of the game area 3 can pass through the gate 8. When the game ball passes through the gate 8, the main control board 20 obtains a winning random number on the condition that the number of reserved gaming balls that have passed through the gate 8 is less than four (see S301 to S304), and determines the winning random number. Processing is performed (see S605). In the winning random number determination process, when it is determined that the winning random number corresponds to the predetermined winning random number value, the normal symbol is displayed in a variable manner on the normal symbol display 13, and then the normal symbol is stopped at the winning symbol and the auxiliary game is executed. (Refer to S608 to S612 and electric Chu processing).

通常遊技状態中又は潜確遊技状態中の補助遊技(電チュー処理参照)であれば、メイン制御基板20は、ソレノイド112に対し、1回が0.15秒の通電を1回行う(S804参照)。ソレノイド112が通電されると、開閉部材76,83は、図2に二点鎖線で示すように開いた状態となるが、開閉部材76,83の開放時間はわずか0.15秒と短いので、遊技球の第2始動口51bへの入賞は殆ど見込めない。   In the case of an auxiliary game in the normal game state or in the latent game state (see the electric Chu process), the main control board 20 energizes the solenoid 112 once for 0.15 seconds (see S804). When the solenoid 112 is energized, the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are opened as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, but the opening time of the opening and closing members 76 and 83 is as short as 0.15 seconds. The winning to the second starting port 51b is hardly expected.

これに対して、時短遊技状態中又は確変遊技状態中の補助遊技(電チュー処理参照)であれば、メイン制御基板20は、ソレノイド112に対し、1回が1.80秒の通電を3回行う(S804参照)。この場合は、開閉部材76,83の開放時間が1.80秒と長く、また開放回数も3回あるので、遊技球の第2始動口51bへの入賞が十分に見込める。   On the other hand, if the auxiliary game is in the short-time gaming state or the probability-changing gaming state (refer to the electric Chu process), the main control board 20 energizes the solenoid 112 once for 1.80 seconds three times ( (See S804). In this case, since the opening time of the opening and closing members 76 and 83 is as long as 1.80 seconds and the number of times of opening is three times, it is possible to sufficiently expect the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 51b.

遊技球が第2始動口51bへ入賞すると、図示しない払出装置により所定数の賞球(例えば、4個の賞球)が払出されるとともに、メイン制御基板20は、第2始動口51bへ入賞した遊技球の保留個数が4個未満であることを条件として大当たり乱数を含む各種乱数を取得し(S206〜S209参照)、大当たり判定処理を行う(S407参照)。なお、遊技球が第1始動口51aに入賞した場合も、同様に、メイン制御基板20は大当たり乱数等を取得して(S201〜S204参照)、大当たり判定処理を行う(S407参照)。大当たり判定処理において上記取得した大当たり乱数が所定の大当たり乱数値に該当すると判定された場合、第2特別図柄表示器14b(第1始動口51aへの入賞の基づくときは第1特別図柄表示器14a)において特別図柄を変動表示するとともに表示部4aにおいて装飾図柄の変動表示及びリーチ演出等の演出を行った後、特別図柄をセットされた大当たり図柄で変動停止させて表示部4aに大当たりが発生した旨の表示をし、大当たり遊技(大入賞口処理参照)を実行する。   When the game ball wins the second start port 51b, a predetermined number of award balls (for example, four award balls) are paid out by a payout device (not shown), and the main control board 20 wins the second start port 51b. Various random numbers including jackpot random numbers are acquired on condition that the number of reserved game balls is less than four (see S206 to S209), and jackpot determination processing is performed (see S407). Even when the game ball wins the first start opening 51a, the main control board 20 similarly acquires a jackpot random number (see S201 to S204) and performs a jackpot determination process (see S407). When it is determined that the acquired jackpot random number corresponds to a predetermined jackpot random number value in the jackpot determination process, the second special symbol display 14b (the first special symbol display 14a when winning based on the first start port 51a is based) ), The special symbol is displayed in a variable manner, and the display unit 4a performs a variation display of the decorative symbol and a reach effect. Then, the special symbol is changed and stopped at the set jackpot symbol, and the jackpot is generated in the display unit 4a. A message to that effect is displayed, and a jackpot game (see the big prize opening process) is executed.

大当たり遊技が実行されると、大入賞口71が所定ラウンド数だけ間欠的に開放され、開放された大入賞口71へ遊技球が入賞すると、所定数(例えば13個)の賞球が払い出される。例えば、15R通常大当たりに当選した場合には、大入賞口71が15ラウンド間欠的に開放される(S704〜S711参照)。その後は、時短遊技状態に移行する(S718参照)。   When the jackpot game is executed, the grand prize winning hole 71 is intermittently opened for a predetermined number of rounds, and when a game ball wins the opened big winning prize hole 71, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of prize balls are paid out. . For example, when a 15R normal jackpot is won, the big winning opening 71 is intermittently opened for 15 rounds (see S704 to S711). After that, it shifts to the short-time gaming state (see S718).

ここで、時短遊技状態中に頻繁に開放される開閉部材76,83の開放動作について図6及び7に基づいて詳述する。なお、図6及び7には左開閉部材76のみを示すが、右開閉部材83は、左開閉部材76と左右対称に動作する。これは、始動入賞装置5に設けられている他の部材(例えば、連繋部材122等)の説明においても同様である。図6(a)に示すように、ソレノイド112が非励磁状態にあるとき、開閉部材76,83は、第2始動口51bを閉じた状態になっている。すなわち、プランジャー114は、前方へ突出した状態にあり、連繋部材122は、前端部124,129を下方へ傾けた状態にある。このため、開閉部材76,83は、連繋部材122における左アーム部123の前端部124と右アーム部128の前端部129とによって、左開閉部材76の連繋軸78と右開閉部材83の連繋軸85とが共に押し下げられて、内側面76c,83cを鉛直面に沿わせた閉成状態となっている。   Here, the opening operation of the opening and closing members 76 and 83 that are frequently opened during the short-time gaming state will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 show only the left opening / closing member 76, the right opening / closing member 83 operates symmetrically with the left opening / closing member 76. The same applies to the description of other members (for example, the linking member 122) provided in the start winning device 5. As shown in FIG. 6A, when the solenoid 112 is in a non-excited state, the open / close members 76 and 83 are in a state in which the second start port 51b is closed. That is, the plunger 114 is in a state protruding forward, and the connecting member 122 is in a state where the front end portions 124 and 129 are inclined downward. Therefore, the opening / closing members 76 and 83 are connected to the connecting shaft 78 of the left opening / closing member 76 and the connecting shaft of the right opening / closing member 83 by the front end portion 124 of the left arm portion 123 and the front end portion 129 of the right arm portion 128 of the connecting member 122. 85 are pushed down, and the inner side surfaces 76c and 83c are in a closed state along the vertical surface.

また、このときは、プランジャー114が前方へ突出しているため、プランジャーカバー135に軸支されているシャッター片142は、下部145がその前面145aを取着基板部48の入賞球通し孔50に後方から臨ませて、遊技球が第2球通路部69から第3球通路部99へ転動するのをせき止め可能な状態にある。なお、第2圧縮コイルばね119は、プランジャーカバー135と摺動部材116との間で圧縮されている。   At this time, since the plunger 114 protrudes forward, the shutter piece 142 pivotally supported by the plunger cover 135 has the lower portion 145 attached to the front surface 145a thereof and the winning ball passing hole 50 of the mounting board portion 48. The game ball is in a state where it can be prevented from rolling from the second ball passage portion 69 to the third ball passage portion 99. The second compression coil spring 119 is compressed between the plunger cover 135 and the sliding member 116.

ソレノイド112が励磁されると、図6(b)に示すように、開閉部材76,83は、第2始動口51bを開放した状態に変位する。すなわち、ソレノイド112が励磁されると、プランジャー114は、ソレノイド本体113に吸着されて後方へ移動し、これに伴って、第2圧縮コイルばね119と摺動部材116とが、プランジャーカバー135に前端側をひっかけられて後方へ移動するので、連繋部材122は、左右方向に沿った揺動軸126,131を中心として前端部124,129を上方へ上げるように揺動する。これにより、連繋部材122の左アーム部123の前端部124と右アーム部128の前端部129とによって、左開閉部材76の連繋軸78と右開閉部材83の連繋軸85とが持ち上げられるため、開閉部材76,83は、互いの先端部76b,83bを離間させる方向に揺動して、第2始動口51bを開放する。   When the solenoid 112 is excited, as shown in FIG. 6B, the opening / closing members 76 and 83 are displaced to a state where the second starting port 51b is opened. That is, when the solenoid 112 is excited, the plunger 114 is attracted to the solenoid body 113 and moves rearward, and accordingly, the second compression coil spring 119 and the sliding member 116 are moved to the plunger cover 135. The connecting member 122 swings so that the front end portions 124 and 129 are raised upward about the swinging shafts 126 and 131 along the left-right direction. Accordingly, the connecting shaft 78 of the left opening / closing member 76 and the connecting shaft 85 of the right opening / closing member 83 are lifted by the front end portion 124 of the left arm portion 123 of the connecting member 122 and the front end portion 129 of the right arm portion 128. The opening / closing members 76 and 83 swing in the direction in which the distal end portions 76b and 83b are separated from each other, thereby opening the second starting port 51b.

また、このとき、プランジャー114が後方へ移動するのに伴って、プランジャーカバー135に軸支されているシャッター片142は、後面142aを水平突出部108の前端部109に摺接させて、水平方向に沿う回動軸部144を中心として上方へ向かって回動する。これにより、シャッター片142は、水平突出部108の上面108bに載り上げ、取着基板部48における入賞球通し孔50の通過規制を解除した状態となり、第2始動口51bに入賞した遊技球は第2球通路部69から第3球通路部99へ転動できるようになる。なお、第2球通路部69から第3球通路部99へ転動した遊技球は、図7(a)に示すように、検知孔部55を通過して第2始動口SW54bに検知され、下方へ排出される。   At this time, as the plunger 114 moves rearward, the shutter piece 142 pivotally supported by the plunger cover 135 brings the rear surface 142a into sliding contact with the front end 109 of the horizontal protrusion 108, It pivots upward about a pivot shaft 144 along the horizontal direction. As a result, the shutter piece 142 is placed on the upper surface 108b of the horizontal protrusion 108, and the restriction of passage of the winning ball passage hole 50 in the attachment board 48 is released, and the game ball that has won the second starting opening 51b is It is possible to roll from the second ball passage portion 69 to the third ball passage portion 99. Note that the game ball rolling from the second ball passage portion 69 to the third ball passage portion 99 passes through the detection hole portion 55 and is detected by the second start port SW54b, as shown in FIG. It is discharged downward.

ソレノイド112が非励磁状態に戻ると、第1圧縮コイルばね118による前方への付勢力により、摺動部材116及び摺動部材116に第2圧縮コイルばね119を介して先端部114bを押されるプランジャー114は、ともに初期位置に復帰し、これに伴って、シャッター片142は、入賞球通し孔50を後方からせき止めた状態に戻る(図6(a)参照)。   When the solenoid 112 returns to the non-excited state, the front member 114b is pushed by the sliding member 116 and the sliding member 116 via the second compression coil spring 119 by the forward biasing force of the first compression coil spring 118. Both jars 114 return to the initial position, and accordingly, the shutter piece 142 returns to the state where the winning ball passing hole 50 is blocked from the rear (see FIG. 6A).

(B)開閉部材76,83が強制開放された場合の動作
次に不正により強制的に開閉部材76,83を開放される場合について説明する。まず、ソレノイド112の非作動時(開閉部材76,83の閉塞時)に開閉部材が強制的に開放される場合について説明する。図6(a)に示す閉塞状態の開閉部材76,83が、ソレノイド112が作動されていないのに、ワイヤー等を用いて強制的に開放された場合、図7(b)に示すように、開閉部材76,83の連繋軸78,85と係合している連繋部材122は、左右方向に沿う揺動軸126,131を揺動中心として上方へ向かって揺動し、これにより、連繋部材122と係合している摺動部材116は、第1圧縮コイルばね118の付勢力に抗して、プランジャー114の軸部114aに沿って後方へ摺動する。
(B) Operation when the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are forcibly opened Next, the case where the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are forcibly opened due to fraud will be described. First, a case where the opening / closing member is forcibly opened when the solenoid 112 is not operated (when the opening / closing members 76 and 83 are closed) will be described. When the open / close members 76 and 83 in the closed state shown in FIG. 6A are forcibly opened using a wire or the like even though the solenoid 112 is not operated, as shown in FIG. The connecting member 122 engaged with the connecting shafts 78 and 85 of the opening and closing members 76 and 83 swings upward with the swinging shafts 126 and 131 extending in the left-right direction as the swing center, and thereby the connecting member. The sliding member 116 engaged with 122 slides rearward along the shaft portion 114 a of the plunger 114 against the urging force of the first compression coil spring 118.

しかし、このように開閉部材76,83を強制的に開放されても、あくまでソレノイド112は非作動状態であるため、プランジャー114は前方へ突出した状態のまま変位しない。したがって、シャッター片142は、図7(b)に示すように、入賞球通し孔50を後方から塞いでいる状態にある。このため、強制的に第2始動口51bを開放させて遊技球を入賞させても、第2始動口51bへの入賞球は、シャッター片142によりせき止められることとなって入賞球通し孔50を通過することができず、第2始動口SW54bに検出されない。よって、大当たり乱数の取得や賞球は行われることがないため、このような第2始動口51bの強制開放を行っても不正行為者に利益はない。よって、実施形態のパチンコ遊技機1によれば、このような不正行為が行われるのを抑制することができる。   However, even if the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are forcibly opened in this way, the solenoid 112 is in an inoperative state, and the plunger 114 is not displaced while protruding forward. Accordingly, the shutter piece 142 is in a state of closing the winning ball passing hole 50 from the rear as shown in FIG. For this reason, even if the second starting port 51b is forcibly opened to win a game ball, the winning ball to the second starting port 51b is blocked by the shutter piece 142 and the winning ball through hole 50 is opened. It cannot pass through and is not detected by the second start port SW54b. Therefore, since the jackpot random number is not acquired and the winning ball is not performed, even if such a second opening 51b is forcibly opened, there is no profit for the fraudster. Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, it is possible to suppress such an illegal act.

次に、ソレノイド112の作動時(開閉部材76,83の開放時)に開閉部材76,83が強制的に開放状態に保持される場合について説明する。図6(b)に示す開放状態の開閉部材76,83がワイヤー等を用いて強制的に開放状態のまま保持されてしまうと、ソレノイド112が非作動状態となってプランジャー114に対する吸着力がなくなっても、第1圧縮コイルばね118は圧縮されたまま復帰しない。すなわち、開閉部材76,83が強制的に開放状態に保持されることによって、開閉部材76,83と連繋している連繋部材122は上方へ揺動した姿勢で保持され、連繋部材122と係合している摺動部材116は後方位置に保持されるので、第1圧縮コイルばね118は圧縮されたまま復帰できない。   Next, the case where the open / close members 76 and 83 are forcibly held in the open state when the solenoid 112 is operated (when the open / close members 76 and 83 are opened) will be described. If the open / close members 76 and 83 in the open state shown in FIG. 6B are forcibly held in the open state using wires or the like, the solenoid 112 becomes inoperative and the adsorption force to the plunger 114 is reduced. Even if it disappears, the first compression coil spring 118 remains compressed and does not return. That is, when the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are forcibly held in the open state, the connecting member 122 connected to the opening and closing members 76 and 83 is held in a posture that swings upward and engages with the connecting member 122. Since the sliding member 116 is held in the rear position, the first compression coil spring 118 cannot be returned while being compressed.

しかし、プランジャー114と摺動部材116とは互いに摺動自在であり、プランジャーカバー135と摺動部材116との間には圧縮された状態の第2圧縮コイルばね119が装着されているため、第2圧縮コイルばね119の復元力により、プランジャー114だけは前方(初期位置)へ復帰する。したがって、開放状態の時を狙って開閉部材76,83が強制的に開放状態に保持されても、ソレノイド112の通電が終われば、図7(b)に示すように、プランジャー114が初期位置に復帰して、入賞球通し孔50がシャッター片142によって閉塞されるので、強制的に第2始動口51bの開放を保持して遊技球を入賞させても、遊技球はシャッター片142によりせき止められて入賞球通し孔50を通過することができず、第2始動口SW54bに検出されない。よって、大当たり乱数の取得や賞球は行われることがないため、このような第2始動口51bの強制開放を行っても不正行為者に利益はない。よって、実施形態のパチンコ遊技機1によれば、このような不正行為が行われるのを抑制することができる。   However, the plunger 114 and the sliding member 116 are slidable with each other, and the compressed second compression coil spring 119 is mounted between the plunger cover 135 and the sliding member 116. Only the plunger 114 returns to the front (initial position) by the restoring force of the second compression coil spring 119. Therefore, even when the open / close members 76 and 83 are forcibly held in the open state in the open state, the plunger 114 is moved to the initial position as shown in FIG. Since the winning ball passing hole 50 is closed by the shutter piece 142, the game ball is blocked by the shutter piece 142 even if the second starting port 51 b is forcibly held to win the game ball. And cannot pass through the winning ball passing hole 50 and is not detected by the second starting port SW54b. Therefore, since the jackpot random number is not acquired and the winning ball is not performed, even if such a second opening 51b is forcibly opened, there is no profit for the fraudster. Therefore, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, it is possible to suppress such an illegal act.

(6)実施形態の効果
以上説明したように、実施形態のパチンコ遊技機1では、始動入賞装置5は、第2始動口51bに入賞した遊技球を第2始動口SW54bに至るまでの間でせき止め可能なシャッター片142を備え、シャッター片142は、ソレノイド112によって駆動され、ソレノイド112の非作動時、第2始動口51bに入賞した遊技球が第2球通路部69から第3球通路部99へと転動するのを規制し、ソレノイド112が作動されると、第2始動口51bに入賞した遊技球が第2球通路部69から第3球通路部99へと転動するのを許容する。
(6) Effects of the Embodiment As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment, the start winning device 5 allows the game ball that won the second start port 51b to reach the second start port SW54b. The shutter piece 142 includes a shutter piece 142 that can be stopped. The shutter piece 142 is driven by a solenoid 112, and when the solenoid 112 is not in operation, a game ball that has won a prize at the second start port 51b is passed from the second ball passage portion 69 to the third ball passage portion. When the solenoid 112 is actuated, the game ball that has won the second start port 51b is prevented from rolling from the second ball passage portion 69 to the third ball passage portion 99. Allow.

したがって、開閉部材76,83を強制的に開放状態にして第2始動口51bに遊技球を入賞させても、ソレノイド112が作動していなければ、入賞球は、第2始動口SW54bに検出される前に第2球通路部69上にせき止められて第2始動口SW54bに検出されないため、その遊技球が入賞球としてカウントされず大当たり乱数の取得や賞球は行われない。したがって、開閉部材76,83の強制開放による遊技球の不正入賞を行っても不正行為者にとって利益がないため、開閉部材76,83を強制開放させて遊技球を不正に入賞させる行為を防止することができる。   Therefore, even if the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are forcibly opened and a game ball is won in the second start port 51b, if the solenoid 112 is not activated, the win ball is detected by the second start port SW54b. Since it is blocked on the second ball passage portion 69 before being detected and detected by the second starting port SW54b, the game ball is not counted as a winning ball, and no big hit random number is obtained or a winning ball is not performed. Therefore, even if the game ball is illegally won by forcibly opening the opening and closing members 76 and 83, there is no profit for the fraudster. Therefore, the act of forcibly opening the opening and closing members 76 and 83 and illegally winning the game ball is prevented. be able to.

また、実施形態のパチンコ遊技機1では、摺動部材116が前進後退するプランジャー114に嵌着されて、開閉部材76,83は、摺動部材116が前方位置(図6(a)参照)にあるとき第2始動口51bを閉塞し、摺動部材116が後方位置(図6(b)参照)にあるとき第2始動口51bを開放するよう、連繋部材122を介して摺動部材116に連結されている。また、シャッター片142は、プランジャー114が前進位置(図6(a)参照)にあるとき遊技球が第2球通路部69を通過するのを規制し、プランジャー114が後退位置(図6(b)参照)にあるとき遊技球が第2球通路部69を通過するのを許容するよう、プランジャーカバー135を介してプランジャー114に連結されている。そして、ソレノイド112の非作動時、摺動部材116の位置に関わらずプランジャー114が前進位置にあり(図6(a)及び図7(b)参照)、ソレノイド112の作動時、プランジャー114が後退するとともに摺動部材116が後方位置に移動する(図6(b)参照)。   In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment, the sliding member 116 is fitted to the plunger 114 that moves forward and backward, and the opening and closing members 76 and 83 have the sliding member 116 in the forward position (see FIG. 6A). The second starting port 51b is closed when the sliding member 116 is located, and the sliding member 116 is opened via the connecting member 122 so that the second starting port 51b is opened when the sliding member 116 is at the rear position (see FIG. 6B). It is connected to. The shutter piece 142 restricts the game ball from passing through the second ball passage portion 69 when the plunger 114 is in the forward movement position (see FIG. 6A), and the plunger 114 is in the backward movement position (see FIG. 6). The ball is connected to the plunger 114 via the plunger cover 135 so as to allow the game ball to pass through the second ball passage portion 69 when in (b). When the solenoid 112 is not in operation, the plunger 114 is in the forward position regardless of the position of the sliding member 116 (see FIGS. 6A and 7B). Moves backward and the sliding member 116 moves to the rear position (see FIG. 6B).

したがって、ソレノイド112が作動していなければ、摺動部材116の位置に関わらず、言い換えれば、開閉部材76,83が開いているか閉じているかに関わらず、プランジャー114は前進位置にあり、シャッター片142は、入賞球を第2球通路部69上にせき止め可能な状態にある(図6(a)及び図7(b)参照)。よって、ソレノイド112の作動時でなければ、第2始動口51bに入賞した遊技球が第2始動口SW54bに検知されることはないため、開閉部材76,83の強制開放による遊技球の不正入賞を行っても不正行為者にとって利益がない。よって、開閉部材76,83を強制開放させて遊技球を不正に入賞させる行為を防止することができる。   Therefore, if the solenoid 112 is not activated, the plunger 114 is in the forward movement position regardless of the position of the sliding member 116, in other words, regardless of whether the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are open or closed. The piece 142 is in a state in which the winning ball can be stopped on the second ball passage portion 69 (see FIGS. 6A and 7B). Therefore, if the solenoid 112 is not in operation, the game ball won in the second start port 51b is not detected by the second start port SW54b. Therefore, the game ball is illegally won by forcibly opening the opening and closing members 76 and 83. There is no profit for the fraudsters. Therefore, the act of forcibly opening the opening / closing members 76 and 83 to illegally win the game ball can be prevented.

また、実施形態のパチンコ遊技機1では、プランジャー114は、摺動部材116とソレノイド本体113との間に、摺動部材116を前方位置に付勢するとともに摺動部材116を介してプランジャー114を前進位置に付勢する第1圧縮コイルばね118を有し、摺動部材116とプランジャー114の先端部114bとの間に、プランジャー114を前進位置へ付勢する第2圧縮コイルばね119を有している。そして、第2圧縮コイルばね119には、第1圧縮コイルばね118より復元力の小さいばねが用いられている。   Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment, the plunger 114 biases the sliding member 116 to the front position between the sliding member 116 and the solenoid main body 113 and the plunger via the sliding member 116. A second compression coil spring 118 that biases the plunger 114 to the forward movement position, and a first compression coil spring 118 that biases the plunger 114 to the forward movement position, and between the sliding member 116 and the tip 114b of the plunger 114; 119. A spring having a restoring force smaller than that of the first compression coil spring 118 is used for the second compression coil spring 119.

したがって、ソレノイド112が非作動であるときは、プランジャー114は、第1圧縮コイルばね118及び第2圧縮コイルばね119に付勢されて前進位置にあり、摺動部材116も、第2圧縮コイルばね119の復元力が第1圧縮コイルばね118の復元力よりも小さいことから、第1圧縮コイルばね118に付勢されて前方位置にある(図6(a)参照)。そして、この状態から、開閉部材76,83が強制的に開放されると、摺動部材116は第1圧縮コイルばね118の付勢力に抗して後退するが、プランジャー114は第2圧縮コイルばね119に付勢されているので前進位置のまま変位しない(図7(b)参照)。また、ソレノイド112が作動すれば、プランジャー114及び摺動部材116は、第1圧縮コイルばね118及び第2圧縮コイルばね119の付勢力に抗して後方に移動し、開閉部材76,83は第2始動口51bを開いた状態となる(図6(b)参照)。ここで、開閉部材76,83が第2始動口51bを開いた状態のまま強制的に保持されると、摺動部材116も後方位置に保持され、第1圧縮コイルばね118は復元不能となる。しかし、第2圧縮コイルばね118は復元可能であるため、ソレノイド112が非作動になれば、プランジャー114は第2弾性部材119により付勢されて前進位置に復帰する(図7(b)参照)。このように、実施形態のパチンコ遊技機1によれば、ソレノイド112が作動していなければ、プランジャー114は必ず前進位置にあり、シャッター片142によって入賞球が第2球通路部69上にせき止められるから、開閉部材76,83を強制的に開放して遊技球を入賞させても、入賞球は第2始動口SW54bに検知されない。したがって、開閉部材76,83の強制開放による遊技球の不正入賞を行っても不正行為者にとって利益がないため、開閉部材76,83を強制開放させて遊技球を不正に入賞させる行為を防止することができる。   Therefore, when the solenoid 112 is inactive, the plunger 114 is biased by the first compression coil spring 118 and the second compression coil spring 119 and is in the advanced position, and the sliding member 116 is also in the second compression coil. Since the restoring force of the spring 119 is smaller than the restoring force of the first compression coil spring 118, the spring 119 is biased by the first compression coil spring 118 and is in the forward position (see FIG. 6A). From this state, when the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are forcibly opened, the sliding member 116 moves backward against the urging force of the first compression coil spring 118, but the plunger 114 is moved to the second compression coil. Since it is urged by the spring 119, it is not displaced in the forward position (see FIG. 7B). When the solenoid 112 is actuated, the plunger 114 and the sliding member 116 move rearward against the urging force of the first compression coil spring 118 and the second compression coil spring 119, and the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are The second start port 51b is opened (see FIG. 6B). Here, when the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are forcibly held with the second start opening 51b opened, the sliding member 116 is also held at the rear position, and the first compression coil spring 118 becomes unrecoverable. . However, since the second compression coil spring 118 can be restored, when the solenoid 112 is deactivated, the plunger 114 is urged by the second elastic member 119 to return to the advanced position (see FIG. 7B). ). As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, if the solenoid 112 is not activated, the plunger 114 is always in the forward position, and the winning ball is blocked by the shutter piece 142 on the second ball passage portion 69. Therefore, even if the opening and closing members 76 and 83 are forcibly opened to win the game ball, the winning ball is not detected by the second starting port SW54b. Therefore, even if the game ball is illegally won by forcibly opening the opening and closing members 76 and 83, there is no profit for the fraudster. Therefore, the act of forcibly opening the opening and closing members 76 and 83 and illegally winning the game ball is prevented. be able to.

また、実施形態のパチンコ遊技機1における始動入賞装置5は、従来から利用されている始動入賞装置5に、プランジャーカバー135、シャッター片142、第2圧縮コイルばね119、および摺動部材116を組み付けて、連繋部材122の係合軸125,131を摺動部材116の係合溝116bに係合させた簡易な構成となっている。すなわち、従来の始動入賞装置5に対して複雑な加工を施すことなく、従来の始動入賞装置5を利用して製造することができるので、製造コストを低廉に抑えながら、開閉部材76,83の強制開放に対して対策の施された始動入賞装置5を構成することができる。   The start winning device 5 in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment includes a plunger cover 135, a shutter piece 142, a second compression coil spring 119, and a sliding member 116 in addition to the conventionally used start winning device 5. As a result, the engaging shafts 125 and 131 of the connecting member 122 are engaged with the engaging grooves 116b of the sliding member 116. That is, since it can be manufactured using the conventional start winning device 5 without subjecting the conventional start winning device 5 to complicated processing, the opening and closing members 76 and 83 can be manufactured while keeping the manufacturing cost low. It is possible to configure the start winning device 5 in which measures are taken against forcible opening.

また、実施形態のパチンコ遊技機1は、連繋部材122を固定することによって開閉部材76,83を開放不能に保持するのではなく、連繋部材122とは別の部材(シャッター片142)を用いて第2始動口51b内における遊技球の転動を規制して、強制開放された第2始動口51bに入賞した遊技球が検出されるのを規制している。よって、第2始動口51bを強制開放する不正行為に対処した始動入賞装置5を設計するに際して、連繋部材122の大きさや形状の影響を受けたり、ソレノイド112の配置位置(プランジャー114と開閉部材76,83との離隔距離)の影響を受けたりすることなく、シャッター片142を適宜設計するだけで、既存の始動入賞装置5を用いて設計することができる。   Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment does not hold the opening and closing members 76 and 83 so as not to be opened by fixing the connecting member 122, but uses a member (shutter piece 142) different from the connecting member 122. The rolling of the game ball in the second starting port 51b is restricted, and the detection of the winning game ball in the forcibly opened second starting port 51b is restricted. Therefore, when designing the start winning device 5 that copes with the illegal act of forcibly opening the second start port 51b, the position and position of the solenoid 112 (the plunger 114 and the opening / closing member) are affected by the size and shape of the connecting member 122. It is possible to design using the existing start winning device 5 only by appropriately designing the shutter piece 142 without being influenced by the separation distance (76, 83).
