Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent some players from playing a disadvantageous game, when a game is resumed after the interrupt due to ball jam or fraud.SOLUTION: When the ball jam occurs in a center Yakumono (accessory) 105 during big combination processing, the operation of a Pachinko machine 10 is stopped temporarily, and staff or the like opens a glass frame 16 to manually remove the jammed ball. When the operation of the Pachinko machine 10 is resumed immediately after a difference in number between IN-OUT game balls is eliminated, measurement of the time where a dam wall 134 is positioned in a dam position is resumed even when the player still cannot resume the game because the glass frame 16 is opened. In this situation, no game ball PB is stored, and the player may have a disadvantage. In order to solve the above problem, the player is determined to be ready to restart the game when the glass frame 16 is closed after failure handling operation, and the operation of the Pachinko machine 10 is restarted later.

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which a game progresses according to a trend of game balls moving in a game area.

  As a gaming specification of a gaming machine, particularly a pachinko machine, a blade member is provided in the center of the accessory, and when the predetermined condition is satisfied and the blade member is opened, the pachinko ball is received in the accessory and the received pachinko ball Is directed toward a specific area (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “winning mouth”) provided in the character, and when passing through the specific area (when winning a prize), the same special gaming state (hereinafter referred to as V) It is called "winning game state"). Hereinafter, such a game specification may be referred to as a “wing game machine”.

  In the above game specifications, the trend of the game balls on the game board (mainly in the role) is an important factor until reaching the V winning game.

  Of course, the same number of pachinko balls received in the accessory with the blade members open are discharged from the accessory. Even if time elapses, there may be a difference between the number of pachinko spheres received into the accessory and the number of pachinko spheres discharged from the accessory (inconsistency of “IN-OUT”). .

  In Patent Document 1, a pachinko ball launched into a game area is won at each winning opening until it is detected by a safe ball counting switch, or is discharged from an out opening and the out ball counting switch. If the game ball remains in the game area by continuing to turn on the notification lamp until it is detected at, and notifying the end of the game by turning off the notification lamp, for example, between the nail and the nail In the case where a game ball is caught, the difference between the number of entering the game area and the number of discharging is notified.

  By applying the technique of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 also in the acceptance into the accessory and the discharge from the accessory, the matching between the received pachinko sphere and the discharged pachinko sphere (matching of “IN-OUT”) , Determination of mismatch).

  In addition, there is a case where the trend of the game ball changes by giving vibration to the pachinko machine. For example, according to the trend of the game ball, the pachinko machine is intentionally struck to generate vibration and win a V prize. There is a possibility of illegal games.

  Therefore, if a vibration detection sensor is provided in the pachinko machine and the vibration detection sensor detects a vibration state more than a predetermined value (for example, an electrical signal that changes in proportion to the amplitude), it is determined as “abnormal vibration detection”. Has been proposed (see Patent Document 2). According to Patent Literature 2, if abnormal vibration is detected, the V prize is invalidated and the game is stopped (energization of some or all of the electrical components is turned off). Thereby, even when an illegal act is performed, there is no disadvantage to the game hall management side.

  By the way, the above-described feather game has a structure called a self-sustained type. In this self-sustained type, during the so-called major role game after winning the V prize, there is a storage part for storing the game ball won by opening the blade member in the bonus item, and whether or not the round continues depending on the storage state The probability is changed (the more it is stored, the easier it is to continue the round).

  For this reason, compared to types other than the self-sustained type, ball clogging is likely to occur due to contact between stored game balls, or the timing of discharging game balls won by opening the blade members is delayed, so-called “IN” It is easy to detect that “-OUT” does not match (hereinafter collectively referred to as “trouble”). For this reason, a store clerk (person in charge) opens the glass frame of a pachinko machine, and the opportunity to perform processing, such as solving a trouble, increases.

  However, when the trouble is solved and, for example, “IN-OUT” matches, the game is resumed even though the glass plate is still open. As described above, for example, in a gaming machine equipped with an automatic continuation type feather game, the probability of whether or not to continue the round varies depending on the storage state (the more the pool is stored, the easier the round is continued). Therefore, if the closing of the glass frame is delayed, the storage time is shortened accordingly, and the round continuation rate is reduced, which may give an unfavorable situation to the player.

Special game executing means for executing the game, and in the first half of the operation and storing a plurality of game balls received in the specific area by moving in the special game state, a part of the game balls is stored in the V In addition to guiding to the award, and in the second half of the operation, a moving member that executes an operation pattern for releasing the stored game ball, and a progress status as to whether or not the game is normally executed. In the monitoring means for monitoring, the progress of the game by the monitoring means, when an abnormality is detected, an abnormal operation control means for stopping the operation of the movable member, and the completion of the work for eliminating the abnormality are detected. When the abnormality is resolved while the operation of the movable member is stopped by the abnormal operation control unit, the operation of the movable member is detected after the completion of the operation by the work end detection unit is detected. And a return control means for returning.

  According to the present invention, in a normal gaming state, when a game ball wins a winning opening, the opening / closing member opens a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time so that the game ball can be received in a specific area in the accessory device.

  When a game ball is received in a specific area during this period, the game ball is classified into a case of winning a V prize opening and a case of not winning.

  When winning the V winning a prize, it is a big win and a special gaming state is entered. In the special gaming state, a round process is performed to increase the number of game balls received into the specific area more than the normal gaming state by opening the opening / closing member more than the predetermined number of times and longer than the predetermined time. The process is repeatedly executed on condition that the V winning award is won during the process.

  Here, a movable member is provided in a specific region of the accessory device. The movable member is movable in a special game state and stores a plurality of game balls received in the specific area in the first half of the operation to guide some of the game balls to the V prize opening, and in the second half of the operation, An operation pattern for releasing the stored game balls is executed. For this reason, the V winning in the round can be expected due to the storage effect by the movable member.

  On the other hand, for example, in the special gaming state, when the monitoring unit detects an abnormality, the operation of the movable member is stopped (operation control unit during abnormality). The return control means returns the operation of the movable member after detecting the work end by the work end detection means when the abnormality is resolved while the operation of the movable member is stopped.

  That is, after the abnormality is resolved, the operation of the movable member is not resumed immediately, but is resumed after the completion of the work is detected by the work completion detection means, so that the operation of the movable member is completed after the abnormality is resolved until the player resumes the game. It is possible to prevent the player from losing the first half of the storage function and to avoid disadvantages.

  A blade member 112 is rotatably attached to the upper end portions of the pair of vertical wall portions 122 via a rotation shaft 112A. The rotating shaft 112A is attached with a blade member solenoid 112SL (see FIG. 4) via a link mechanism (not shown).

  The blade member 112 is rotated about the rotation shaft 112A by excitation control to the blade member solenoid 112SL. For example, when the blade member solenoid 112SL is not excited, it is in the vertical position (see the solid line in FIG. 3), and when excited, it is in the horizontal position (see the imaginary line in FIG. 3).

  The pair of blade members 112 are opened when the game ball PB wins the center specific winning port 118C and the side specific winning ports 118L and 118R. As an example, when the game ball PB wins one of the pair of side specific winning holes 118L, 118R, the blade member 112 is opened once for a predetermined time (about 0.5 seconds to 1.0 second). The member solenoid 112SL is driven and controlled. When the game ball PB wins the center specific winning opening 118C, the blade member solenoid 112SL is driven and controlled so that the blade member 112 is opened twice for a predetermined time (about 0.5 seconds to 1.0 seconds).

  During the opening of the pair of blade members 112, the game balls PB won from either of the left and right winning inflow ports 110 are guided to the intermediate stage unit 130.

  The intermediate stage unit 130 is formed on an inclined surface that becomes lower as the falling surface goes to the back side, and the game ball PB rolls to the back side of the intermediate stage unit 130.

  A cylindrical member 132 is disposed at the center in the width direction on the back side of the intermediate stage unit 130. The cylindrical member 132 is rotatable about a cylindrical axis by a driving force of a cylindrical member motor 132M (see FIG. 4).

  In addition, a damming wall 134 is disposed on the back side of the intermediate stage portion 130 except for the central portion in the width direction where the cylindrical member 132 is disposed. The damming wall 134 is connected to an actuator of the damming wall solenoid 134SL (see FIG. 4), and at least at the damming position or the damming release position by energizing or deenergizing (exciting, de-energizing) the damming wall solenoid 134SL. It can be moved to two positions.

  The cylindrical member 132 has a hemispherical upper end, and a lower end that penetrates the intermediate stage 130 and reaches a V winning guide stage 136 provided below the intermediate stage 130. .

  The cylindrical member 132 is provided with a through hole 132A in a part of its peripheral surface. The upper end of the through hole 132A is higher than the game ball rolling surface of the intermediate stage portion 130, and the lower end of the through hole 132A extends to the game ball rolling surface of the V winning guide stage portion 136.

  The V winning guide stage 136 is formed on an inclined surface that becomes lower as it goes from the back side to the front side. On the front side of the V winning guide stage portion 136, a plurality of receiving openings are provided, with the center being a V winning opening 138 and the other being a removal opening 140. Separate ball detection sensors 138S and 140S (see FIG. 4) are provided in the flow paths communicating with the V winning opening 138 and the detachment opening 140, respectively.

  Here, in the normal state, the damming wall 134 is in the dammed release state, and most of the game balls PB guided to the intermediate stage part 130 by opening the blade member 112 are the intermediate stage part 130. Falls to the V-winning guidance stage 136, and reaches either the V-winning entrance 138 or the exit 140 under a preset probability (in consideration of the trend of the game ball PB) Result. At this time, the winning rate for the V winning opening 138 is relatively lower than the winning rate for the V winning opening 138 of a game ball PB that has passed through a through hole 132A described later.

  Here, when the V winning opening 138 is reached, a big hit is made and the big game process is executed. The big game process is determined in advance by the movement of the game ball in the center object 105, with the operation of opening the blade member 112 for a period longer than the normal game state (open time × number of open times) as one round. A game that repeats multiple rounds (updating rounds) up to the maximum round. The round update is a winning to the winning opening 138 during the round.

  During the big game, the dam wall 134 is at the dam position, and a lot of game balls PB are stored in the intermediate stage 130. When the storage amount of the game ball PB exceeds a predetermined amount, the game ball PB is stored to the front of the cylindrical member 132. At this time, when the stored game ball PB reaches the through hole 132A, the game ball PB enters the inside of the cylindrical member 132 from the through hole 132A and falls to the V winning guide stage unit 136.

  Since the through hole 132A is located at the center in the width direction of the V winning stage portion 136, the game ball PB rolls to the near side according to the inclination of the V winning guide stage portion 136 and reaches the V winning opening 138. It is easy.

As a result, a round update is obtained by the player intervention of storing the game ball PB (self-sustained type). It should be noted that the dam wall 134 is in a dammed release state when a round update is determined or a predetermined time has elapsed.
(Control system configuration)
Next, the control system of the pachinko machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the control system of the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment is configured with a main control unit 150 as the center, and the main control unit 150 includes an effect control unit 152 and a payout control unit 154. And are connected. The main control unit 150 stores a basic program relating to games, and the operation of each unit is controlled based on a command signal from the main control unit 150.

  Information (start winning signal, jackpot signal, symbol determination signal) indicating the progress of the game is transmitted from the main control unit 150 to the hall computer (not shown) via the board external terminal 190.

  The main control unit 150 includes, as an input system, a general winning sensor 114S for detecting a winning ball to the general winning port 114, a center specific winning sensor 118CS for detecting a winning ball to the center specific winning port 118C, and a side specific winning port 118L. , The side specific winning sensors 118LS and 118RS for detecting a winning ball to 118R, the ball detecting sensor 110S for detecting that it has flowed into the center accessory 105 from the winning inflow port 110, and the gaming ball PB having won the V winning port 138. A V winning ball detection sensor 138 </ b> S to be detected and a missed ball detection sensor 140 </ b> S to detect a game ball that has flowed into the missed opening 140 are connected.

  In addition, the main control unit 150 includes a glass frame open / closed state detection sensor 16S for detecting the open / closed state of the glass frame 16 as an input system not directly related to the game, and a pan unit open / closed state detection for detecting the open / closed state of the pan unit 24. A sensor 24S is connected. In the present embodiment, the glass frame open / close state detection sensor 16S and the dish unit open / close state detection sensor 24S may be collectively referred to as an open / close detection sensor. That is, when the game is interrupted to work, the glass frame 16 is often opened and closed, but any other movable body of the pachinko machine 10 may be opened and closed. The open / close detection sensor of the invention.

  In addition, the main control unit 150 rotates, as an output system, a guide lamp unit 109 for notifying game information and a game state in a lighting state of a lamp, a blade member solenoid 112SL for opening and closing the blade member 112, and a cylindrical member 132. A cylindrical member motor 132M for operation and a dam wall solenoid 134SL for operating the dam wall 134 are connected.

  The operation control unit 50 is connected to the effect control unit 152 as an input system. In addition, the effect control unit 152 includes, as an output system, light-emitting elements 137 for lighting effects provided on various game parts of the pachinko machine 10, a 7-segment display 139, and speakers 60 (60L, 60C, 60R, 60U). It is connected.

  The payout control unit 154 is connected to a payout device 160 and a launch control unit 164, and the launch control unit 164 is connected to a launch device 165. The payout control unit 154 operates the payout device 160 provided in the pachinko machine 10 to control the payout and lending ball payout and stop operations and the number of payouts. In addition, the launch control unit 164 activates the launch device 165 by the operation of the grip unit 26 (see FIG. 1) by the player to start launch of the game ball PB and the launch force according to the operation amount of the grip unit 26. To control.

  Further, the payout control unit 154 transmits payout information to a hall computer (not shown) installed in the hall via the frame external terminal 191.

(Abnormality monitoring control)
(A) Abnormality due to fraud due to vibration and magnetic force The main control unit 150 of the present embodiment includes a vibration detection sensor 142 and a magnetic force detection in addition to the sensors that detect winning of each part of the game ball PB on the game board 18. A sensor 143 is connected. The vibration detection sensor 142 has a function of detecting vibration applied to the game board 18 and eventually the pachinko machine 10. The magnetic force detection sensor 143 has a function of detecting a change in the magnetic field around the game board 18 (such as a magnet approaching).

  As described above, in the center actor 105 according to the present embodiment, since the round of the game ball PB determines whether or not the round is continued, the game ball PB is detected by an external impact from the player's psychological state. In some cases, the frame of the pachinko machine 10 or the glass frame 16 may be hit in order to change the trend. Such an impact from the outside corresponds to fraud regardless of whether or not the trend of the game ball PB actually changes.

  Further, there may be an illegal act of bringing a magnet close to the game board 18 and guiding the game ball with a magnetic force.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the vibration detection sensor 142 and the magnetic force detection sensor 143 are arranged in the pachinko machine 10 and are monitored by the main control unit 150, and predetermined by the vibration detection sensor 142 and the magnetic force detection sensor 143. When an abnormal signal is detected, fraud prevention processing such as invalidating a V prize for a certain period or stopping energization of some or all electrical components is executed.

  When the fraud prevention process is completed, the pachinko machine 10 shifts to a normal operation.

(B) Abnormality due to ball clogging In the pachinko machine 10, the game ball PB may clog the ball on the game board (including the inside of the center accessory 105).

  In the so-called self-sustained type represented by the center accessory 105 described in the present embodiment, in particular, a structure in which the game ball PB is intentionally stored in the intermediate stage unit 130, and a structure in which a ball clog is easily placed. But there is.

  Therefore, a ball detection sensor 110S for detecting the game ball PB received in the center accessory 105 when the blade member 112 is open is applied for “IN” detection, and V ball detection for the V prize opening. By applying the sensor 138S and the ball detection sensor 140S for detecting the outlet to detect “OUT” and comparing the number of game balls of “IN” and “OUT”, it is determined whether or not there is a clogged ball in the center accessory 105 Like to do.

  For example, if the game ball PB is detected by the ball detection sensor 110S and the game ball PB is not detected by the V prize opening ball detection sensor 138S and the out-going ball detection sensor 140S even after a predetermined time has elapsed, a ball clogging abnormality is detected. (Or sensor abnormality).

  When the ball clogging occurs, the player calls a store clerk (clerk), and the store clerk opens the glass frame 16 and the like, and the ball clogging is eliminated directly by hand.

  When the ball clogging is eliminated, the pachinko machine 10 shifts to a normal operation.

  Here, the pachinko machine 10 resumes the operation of the cylindrical member 132 at the same time as the normal operation in any of the above (a) abnormality caused by an illegal act due to vibration and magnetic force, and (b) abnormality caused by a clogged ball. Become.

  However, even if the ball clogging is eliminated, the player still cannot resume the game when the store clerk opens the glass frame 16 or the like as described above. On the other hand, if the situation where the game is stopped is in the process of a big game, while the player cannot resume the game, the time until the dam is released by the dam wall 134 elapses, and the game ball is advantageous to the player A situation occurs where PB is not stored. That is, there is a possibility that the advantage of the above-mentioned self-continuation type cannot be provided to the player.

  In view of this, the main control unit 150 of the present embodiment waits for the glass frame 16 to close without immediately shifting the pachinko machine 10 to normal operation after eliminating the abnormality (the fraud prevention process is completed and the ball clogging is eliminated). After that, we started to move to normal operation.

  That is, when an abnormality (ball clogging or the like) occurs, a signal that notifies “IN-OUT mismatch” is output, and then the glass frame 16 or the like is opened by a store clerk or the like, and the ball clogging is eliminated by manual work. Therefore, after the notification of the “IN-OUT mismatch” signal, the glass frame open / close state detection sensor 16S (or the dish unit open / close state detection sensor 24S, etc.) after switching to the “IN-OUT match” signal. When the closing is confirmed, the pachinko machine 10 may be returned to the normal operation.

  The operation of this embodiment will be described below.

  In the game using the pachinko machine 10, when the player operates the grip unit 26, the ball is shot upward by the launching device 165 one by one. The launched game ball PB is driven into the game area of the game board 18 along the outer rail 102 and falls in the game area while changing the direction by hitting a game nail or a windmill. Then, the game ball PB reaching the lower end of the game area without winning a prize is collected into the pachinko machine 10 from the out port 124.

  When the game ball PB wins the center specific prize opening 118C or the side specific prize openings 118L, 118R provided in the game area, processing based on the game specifications (for example, opening / closing operation of the blade member 112, etc.) is executed. At the same time, a visual effect using the light emitting element 137, a sound effect using the speaker 60, and the like are executed. In addition, when winning a prize in the general winning opening 114, a predetermined prize ball (payout) is executed.

  Here, when the game ball PB wins in the center accessory 105 due to the opening of the blade member 112, whether or not to win a V is determined according to the trend of the game ball PB thereafter, and it becomes a V win Then, the big game process is executed.

(Game in the normal game state by the center actor 105)
When the game ball PB wins the center specific winning opening 118C on the game board 18, the blade member 112 is opened twice for a predetermined time (about 0.5 seconds to 1.0 second). Further, when the game ball PB wins the side specific winning opening 112L, 112R, the blade member 112 is released once for a predetermined time (about 0.5 seconds to 1.0 second).

  While the blade member 112 is open, the game ball PB can flow into the center accessory 105, and the flowed game ball PB first reaches the intermediate stage unit 130, and the inclined surface of the intermediate stage unit 130 Rolling from the near side to the far side. At this time, since the damming wall 134 is in the non-damming position, the game ball PB falls from the back side of the intermediate stage part 130 to the V winning guide stage part 136. Fortunately, the game ball PB that has entered the through hole 132A of the cylindrical portion 132 also falls to the V winning guide stage portion 136 in the intermediate stage portion 130.

  The V-winning guidance stage unit 136 is inclined opposite to the intermediate stage unit 130, and the game ball PB rolls from the back side to the near side and flows into either the V-winning port 138 or the exit port 140. .

  At this time, the game ball PB that has reached the V winning guide stage portion 136 through the through hole 132A is more likely to win the V prize than the game ball PB that has fallen through the blocking wall 134.

(Big actor processing)
When the game ball PB wins a V, it becomes a big hit, and a big game process in which an open / close process (round process) is repeated in a longer open period than the open period (open time × number of open times) of the blade member 112 in the normal game state is a predetermined maximum Multiple rounds are executed up to rounds.

  Here, the continuation of the round is determined by whether or not a V prize is won during the round.

  The game specification in the present embodiment is a so-called self-sustained type, and when the big game process is started, the dam wall 134 becomes the dam position, and the game ball PB flowing into the center character 105 is In other words, the intermediate stage 130 is stored.

  The reason for storing the game ball PB in the intermediate stage 130 is that if it is stored, the game ball PB can easily enter the through hole 132A of the cylindrical portion 132, and eventually falls into the V winning guide stage portion 136. This is because sometimes it becomes easy to win a V prize.

  Thus, during the big game, when the blade member 112 is released more than the normal game state, the more the game ball PB flows into the center game 105, the easier it is to continue the round. A game during a big game that tends to become easy can be improved in taste.

(Abnormality monitoring control)
(A) Injustice In the center actor 105 according to the present embodiment, since the round of the game ball PB determines whether or not the round is continued, the game ball PB is generated by an external impact from the player's psychological state. In order to change the trend, there are cases where the frame or the glass frame 16 of the pachinko machine 10 is hit or the game ball PB is intended to be guided to a desired position using a magnet.

  Therefore, the vibration detection sensor 142 and the magnetic force detection sensor 143 are arranged in the pachinko machine 10 and are monitored by the main control unit 150. In the pachinko machine 10 that determines that there has been an illegal act, the progress of the game is stopped.

(B) Clogged balls On the other hand, in the so-called self-sustained type represented by the center role 105 described in the present embodiment, in particular, the structure is such that the game ball PB is intentionally stored in the intermediate stage portion 130. It is also a structure that makes it easy to place ball clogs.

  Occurrence of the clogging occurs when the number of gaming balls detected by the ball detecting sensor 110S (“IN”) and the number of gaming balls detected by the V winning opening ball detecting sensor 138S and the detecting ball detecting sensor 140S (“OUT”). Judged by comparison with.

  Based on the comparison of the number of game balls of “IN” and “OUT”, if a ball clog occurs in the center accessory 105, the pachinko machine 10 stops the progress of the game.

  After the progress of the game of the pachinko machine 10 is stopped, the clogging elimination work by the store clerk (clerk) is performed.

  When the ball clogging is eliminated, the pachinko machine 10 shifts to a normal operation. However, even if the ball clogging is eliminated, the player still resumes the game when the store clerk opens the glass frame 16 and the like. Can't provide the advantage of the self-sustained type.

  That is, even when the ball clogging is in a major process and the normal operation transition of the pachinko machine 10 is made, the time until the damming cancellation by the damming wall 134 elapses even during the period in which the player cannot resume the game. A situation occurs in which the game balls PB that are advantageous to the player are not stored.

  In view of this, the main control unit 150 of the present embodiment waits for the glass frame 16 to close without immediately shifting the pachinko machine 10 to normal operation after eliminating the abnormality (the fraud prevention process is completed and the ball clogging is eliminated). After that, we started to move to normal operation.

  The following is a flowchart showing an operation control routine of the pachinko machine 10 when a ball clogging abnormality occurs during the game, specializing in the big game process.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the big game processing control routine.

  In step 200, the V winning flag is cleared (0), and the process proceeds to step 202. In step 202, the operation start for one round is instructed. That is, triggered by this instruction, the blade member 112 starts an opening / closing operation with a predetermined opening / closing pattern, and the cylindrical member 132 starts a rotating operation with a predetermined pattern.

  In the next step 204, the damming wall 134 is positioned at the damming position, and the routine proceeds to step 206. In step 206, it is determined whether or not the number of gaming balls accepted (winned) into the center bonus 105 has reached the upper limit winning number, and if a negative determination is made, the gaming ball PB may still win. If it is determined that there is, there is a transition to step 208. In step 208, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time, which is the time for holding the damming wall 134 at the damming position, has elapsed.

  When a negative determination is made at step 208, the routine proceeds to step 210, where it is determined whether or not there is a V prize. When a negative determination is made, the process returns to step 206, and when an affirmative determination is made, the V winning flag is set at step 212. After setting (1), the process returns to step 206.

  Further, when an affirmative determination is made at step 206 or step 208, the routine proceeds to step 214.

  In step 214, the damming wall 134 is positioned at the damming release position, and the process proceeds to step 216.

  In step 216, it is determined whether or not there is a V prize. If the determination is affirmative, the V winning flag is set (1) in step 218, and then the process proceeds to step 220. If the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step 220. .

  In step 220, it is determined whether the opening / closing operation of the blade member 112 has been completed. If a negative determination is made, the process returns to step 216. If an affirmative determination is made in step 220, it is determined that one round has been completed, and the routine proceeds to step 222.

  In step 222, it is determined whether or not the completed round is the final round. If an affirmative determination is made, the routine ends (end of the big role process).

  If a negative determination is made in step 222, the process proceeds to step 224 to determine whether or not the V winning flag is set (1).

  If a negative determination is made in step 224, this routine ends (end of the big role process). If an affirmative determination is made in step 224, the process proceeds to step 226, a transition process to the next round is performed, and the process returns to step 200.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an abnormal process control routine during the big game process.

  In step 250, it is determined whether or not an abnormality has been determined. The abnormalities include (a) abnormalities caused by vibration and magnetic fraud, and (b) abnormalities caused by ball clogging. In particular, during the major role processing, a large number of game balls PB enter the center actor 105. (B) Ball clogging easily occurs.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step 250, the process proceeds to step 252 where the damming wall 134 provided in the center accessory 105 is held at the damming release position and the damming time pause state (temporary stop state) It becomes.

  In the next step 254, it is determined whether or not the abnormality has been eliminated, that is, in the case of (b) a ball clogging abnormality, it is determined whether or not the number of IN-OUT game balls matches, and an affirmative determination is made. Control goes to step 256.

  In step 256, the timer circuit 150T is activated (reset / started). This timer circuit 150T measures the time T from when the abnormality is resolved to when the actual operation of the pachinko machine 10 is resumed. In a sense, although the abnormality is resolved, the player can play the game Is in a state where it cannot be resumed.

  In the next step 258, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (the time T) has elapsed. If an affirmative determination is made, the routine proceeds to step 260, where an instruction to resume the operation of the pachinko machine 10 is issued, and this routine ends. To do.

  By the way, immediately after the resolution of the abnormality, especially when the number of game balls of IN-OUT matches, for example, the store clerk often opens the glass frame 16, and even if the number of game balls of IN-OUT matches. The player is in a state where the game cannot be resumed immediately. For this reason, when the operation of the pachinko machine 10 is resumed immediately after the number of game balls of IN-OUT coincides, the time for keeping the damming wall 134 at the damming position advances, and the player actually plays the game. By the time it can start, the damming wall 134 is in the damming release position, which creates a disadvantageous situation for the player.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the timer circuit 150T instructs the resumption of the operation of the pachinko machine 10 with a delay of the time T after the abnormality is canceled (for example, the number of game balls of IN-OUT matches). I did it. Thus, the time for retaining the damming wall 134 at the damming position does not advance until the player can actually start playing, and the occurrence of a situation unfavorable to the player can be prevented.

  FIG. 7 shows the flow of processing when a ball clogging abnormality occurs during the big game processing.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when a ball clogging abnormality occurs (see arrow A in FIG. 7), an operation stop of the pachinko machine 10 is instructed (see arrow B in FIG. 7). During this period (see arrow C in FIG. 7), the player cannot advance the game.

  Further, during this period (see arrow C in FIG. 7), for example, the store clerk opens the glass frame 16 (see arrow D in FIG. 7), and performs an operation to eliminate the clogging. When the clogging is resolved ("IN-OUT match") (see arrow E in FIG. 7), the signal indicating the clogging abnormality returns to normal, but in this state, the glass frame 16 is open ( In the prior art, the dam wall timer t2 has started, although the game cannot proceed, as indicated by arrow F in FIG.

  However, in the present embodiment, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 is performed after the glass frame 16 is securely closed (see the arrow H in FIG. 7) after the predetermined time is counted by the timer circuit 150T (see the arrow G in FIG. 7). Since the game is resumed (see arrow I in FIG. 7), the t2 timer of the damming timer starts from a state in which the player can proceed with the game (see arrow J in FIG. 7). The ball PB can be dammed and the player is not disadvantaged.

  As described above, the ball clogging that causes the number of IN-OUT game balls to be inconsistent, and the illegal act by the vibration detection sensor 142 and the magnetic force detection sensor 143 are monitored. In particular, when a ball clogging abnormality occurs in the center character 105 during the big game, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 is temporarily stopped, and the store clerk or the like opens the glass frame 16 to manually eliminate the ball clogging. In this case, when the operation of the pachinko machine 10 is resumed immediately after the inconsistency in the number of IN-OUT game balls is resolved, the glass frame 16 is opened, and the player is still unable to resume the game. First, the timing of the time for which the damming wall 134 in the center accessory 105 is positioned at the damming position is restarted, and a situation in which the game ball PB cannot be stored occurs, and the player may be disadvantaged. . Therefore, in the present embodiment, the resumption of the operation of the pachinko machine 10 is delayed until the player can resume the game.

(Modification)
In the present embodiment, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 is resumed when the occurrence of an abnormality and the closing of the glass frame 16 is detected by a signal from the glass frame opening / closing sensor 16S after the abnormality is resolved. For example, the store clerk may be facing the pachinko machine 10 immediately after the glass frame 16 is closed. Therefore, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 may be resumed after a predetermined time has elapsed after the glass frame 16 is closed.

  In the main control unit 150 of the modified example, a delay time is provided for delaying the time to eliminate the abnormality (end of the fraud prevention process and the ball clogging) and shift the pachinko machine 10 to normal operation.

  In order to set the delay time, a timer circuit 150T is built in the main controller 150 of the modified example (see FIG. 4). The timer circuit 150T may be generated from an operation clock for operating the main control unit 150, or a timer circuit may be connected separately. In the present embodiment, the timer circuit 150T starts resetting when it detects that the glass frame 16 is opened by the signal of the glass frame opening / closing detection sensor 16S, the abnormality is solved, and then closed, and is preset. During this period, the normal operation shift of the pachinko machine 10 is delayed (setting of the delay time).

  This delay period is generally difficult to specify numerically, but as a guideline, for example, the store clerk closes the glass frame 16 and the player holds the grip unit 26 and the first game ball is fired. It is time to do.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an abnormal process control routine during the big game process according to a modification.

  In step 250, it is determined whether or not an abnormality has been determined. The abnormalities include (a) abnormalities caused by vibration and magnetic fraud, and (b) abnormalities caused by ball clogging. In particular, during the major role processing, a large number of game balls PB enter the center actor 105. (B) Ball clogging easily occurs.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step 250, the process proceeds to step 252 where the damming wall 134 provided in the center accessory 105 is held at the damming release position and the damming time pause state (temporary stop state) It becomes.

  In the next step 254, it is determined whether or not the opening of the glass frame 16 is detected based on a signal from the glass frame opening / closing sensor 16S. If an affirmative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 256.

  In step 256, it is determined whether or not the abnormality has been eliminated, that is, in the case of (b) a ball clogging abnormality, it is determined whether or not the number of game balls of IN-OUT matches. Migrate to

  In step 258, it is determined whether or not the closing of the glass frame 16 is detected based on a signal from the glass frame opening / closing sensor 16S. If an affirmative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 260.

  In step 260, the timer circuit 150T is activated (reset / started). This timer circuit 150T measures the time T from when the glass frame 16 is closed until the actual operation of the pachinko machine 10 is resumed. Is a state where the game cannot be resumed.

  In the next step 262, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (the time T) has elapsed. If an affirmative determination is made, the process proceeds to step 264 to issue an instruction to resume the operation of the pachinko machine 10, and this routine ends. To do.

  FIG. 9 shows a flow of processing when a ball clogging abnormality occurs during the big role processing according to the modification.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when a ball clogging abnormality occurs (see arrow A in FIG. 9), an instruction to stop the operation of the pachinko machine 10 is given (see arrow B in FIG. 9). This period (see arrow C in FIG. 9) During this time, the player cannot proceed with the game.

  Further, during this period (see arrow C in FIG. 9), for example, the store clerk opens the glass frame 16 (see arrow D in FIG. 9), and performs an operation to eliminate the clogging. When the clogging is resolved ("IN-OUT match") (see arrow E in FIG. 9), the signal indicating the clogging abnormality returns to normal, but in this state, the glass frame 16 is open ( In the prior art, the dam wall timer t2 was started, although the game could not be progressed (see arrow F in FIG. 9).

  However, in the modified example, after the glass frame 16 is securely closed (see the arrow G in FIG. 9), the operation of the pachinko machine 10 is resumed after the predetermined time is measured by the timer circuit 150T (see the arrow H in FIG. 9). Therefore (see arrow I in FIG. 9), t2 of the damming timer starts from a state in which the player can advance the game (see arrow J in FIG. 9), and the game ball PB by the damming wall 134 Can be prevented and the player is not disadvantaged.
