[Reference example]
Hereinafter, a reference example according to the pachinko gaming machine 10 to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, “left and right” are left and right when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is viewed from the front.

<About the general structure of the front side of the pachinko machine 10>
The pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a substantially circular gaming area R surrounded by guide rails 12 on the front surface of the gaming board 11 shown in FIG. 2, and the gaming area R is provided on a front window 10W provided on the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 10. (See FIG. 1).

  As shown in FIG. 1, a ball tray 13 capable of storing game balls is provided at the lower part of the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 10. A launch handle 14 is provided on the right side of the ball tray 13, and the launch handle 14 is rotated to launch a game ball from a launch device (not shown) toward the game area R. Further, the launch intensity of the game ball can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the amount of rotation operation of the launch handle 14.

  As shown in FIG. 2, an odd-shaped display window is formed through the center of the game area R of the game board 11, and a display decoration frame 20 is fitted into the display window from the front side. The display 15 on the back side of the game board 11 faces forward through the display decoration frame 20. In addition, the display decoration frame 20 protrudes from the front surface of the game board 11 and prohibits the game ball from flowing down in front of the display 15. The game area R is divided by the display decorative frame 20 into a left flow area Ra and a right flow area Rb in the left-right direction, and is divided into an upper communication passage 23 and a lower flow area Rc in the vertical direction.

  The upper surface of the lower side portion of the display decoration frame 20 is a stage 21 inclined downward from both left and right ends toward the center, and a game ball flowing down the left flow area Ra on the left side of the display decoration frame 20. Is formed on the inside of the display decorative frame 20 to form a warp path (not shown). The game ball that has passed through the warp road is released from the left end of the stage 21 and rolls left and right on the stage 21. In addition, the game ball that has finished rolling on the stage 21 flows down from the center of the stage 21 to the lower flow-down region Rc.

  In the upper part of the left-side flow-down area Ra, a ball outlet 16 for allowing a game ball fired from a launching device (not shown) to enter the game area R is provided. The upper end surface of the display decoration frame 20 is an inner guide surface 22 extending in an arc shape along the guide rail 12, and the upper communication passage 23 is between the guide rail 12 and the inner guide surface 22. It is sandwiched to form an arc shape, and connects the upper part of the left-side flow region Ra and the upper part of the right-side flow region Rb.

  The game ball launched with a relatively weak launch intensity collides with the obstacle nail provided in the display decorative frame 20 and the left flow area Ra, and flows down the left flow area Ra without entering the upper communication passage 23. On the other hand, the game ball launched with a relatively strong launch intensity passes through the upper connecting passage 23 as it is along the guide rail 12 from the ball outlet 16 and flows down in the right flow area Rb. Hereinafter, a game performed by adjusting the firing strength so that the game ball flows down the left-side down area Ra is referred to as “left-handed game”, and the launch intensity is adjusted so that the game ball flows down the right-side down area Rb. This game is called “right-handed game”.

<Left-side flow area Ra>
A plurality of obstacle nails are distributed throughout the left flow area Ra, and a windmill 17 and a plurality of general winning portions 18 are provided below the left flow area Ra. The general winning portion 18 has a pocket structure, and an open general winning opening 18A is formed on the upper surface of the general winning portion 18 so that game balls can be won one by one in the general winning opening 18A. A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out each time the general winning opening 18A is won.

<About the lower flow region Rc>
In the lower flow region Rc, a center winning portion 31 is provided immediately below the center portion of the stage 21. The center winning portion 31 has a pocket structure similar to that of the general winning portion 18 and has a center start opening 31A that is always open on the upper surface, and game balls can be won one by one in the center start opening 31A. . Each time the center start opening 31A is won, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out. In the lower flow area Rc, a plurality of obstacle nails are arranged in a row from the windmill 17 toward the center winning portion 31, and a part of the game ball that has flowed down the left flow area Ra by the obstacle nails line. However, it is comprised so that it may go to the center starting port 31A. In this reference example, about 5 to 6% of the game balls that have flowed down the left-side flow area Ra (5 to 6 balls when “left-handed game” is continued for one minute (100 balls)) is the center start port 31A. Is configured to win. In addition, the flow direction of the game ball that has flowed down the right flow region Rb is restricted by the obstacle nail, the display decorative frame 20, and the like so that it hardly wins the center start port 31A.

  A special start port 33A is provided on the right side of the center winning portion 31 in the lower flow area Rc. The special start port 33A is open toward the front surface (game area R) of the game board 11, and can be opened and closed by the start port door 33T. The start port 33T is pivotable back and forth around the lower end of the special start port 33A, and is always held in an upright position to close the special start port 33A. The start opening door 33T is tilted forward to open the special start opening 33A, and the game balls can be won one by one with the start opening door 33T as a guide. Each time a game ball wins the special start port 33A, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out.

<Regarding the right-flow region Rb>
A side winning portion 32 is provided at a lower position of the right flow region Rb. As shown in FIG. 3, the side winning portion 32 has a pocket structure similar to that of the general winning portion 18, has a side starting port 32A that is always open on the upper surface, and one game ball is placed in the side starting port 32A. You can win one by one. Each time the side start port 32A is won, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out.

  A start gate 30 is disposed downstream of the side winning portion 32 in the right flow region Rb. The start gate 30 is arranged to be spaced diagonally to the lower right of the side winning portion 32 so that the game balls can pass through the inside vertically one by one.

  A second attacker port 35 </ b> A is provided on the downstream side of the start gate 30. The second attacker port 35A is located slightly to the left of the position just below the start gate 30 and slightly to the right from the position just below the side winning portion 32, so that a game ball that has passed through the start gate 30 can win a prize. It has become. Similarly to the special start port 33A, the second attacker port 35A is open toward the front surface (game area R) of the game board 11, and can be opened and closed by the attacker door 35T, and the attacker door 35T that has fallen to the front side. The game balls can be won one by one with the guidance (switching between the impossible or difficult state closed by the attacker door 35T and the possible or easy state where the attacker door 35T has fallen forward). The game ball that has won the second attacker port 35A is once discharged through the back side of the game board 11 into the large winning block 34 described below. In addition, a ball receiving wall 37 is provided on the right side of the second attacker port 35A, and the game ball received by the ball receiving wall 37 is delivered to the attacker door 35T that has fallen forward. Yes.

<About the grand prize block 34>
In the lower right portion of the game area R, a big winning block 34 having a guide upper surface 34B for receiving most of the game balls flowing down the right flow area Rb is provided. The guide upper surface 34B is inclined downwardly to the left, and guides the received game ball to the special start port 33A. It should be noted that the flow direction of the game ball that has flowed down the left flow area Ra is restricted by the obstacle nail, the display decorative frame 20 and the like so that the game ball hardly wins the special start port 33A.

  A portion of the guide top surface 34B of the big winning block 34 that is shifted from the second attacker port 35A toward the special start port 33A is formed with a first attacker port 34A over a range of 2 to 4 times the diameter of the game ball. Usually, it is closed by a shutter plate 34T. Thus, normally, the game ball rolls from the right end to the left end on the guide upper surface 34B and is guided to the special start port 33A as described above. Then, when the shutter plate 34T is opened so as to be retracted rearward from the front surface of the game board 11 and the first attacker port 34A is opened, the game ball that flows down the right flow region Rb and is received by the right end portion of the guide upper surface 34B. Most of the player wins the first attacker port 34A (switches to a winning impossible or difficult state closed by the shutter plate 34T and a winning possible or easy state opened so that the shutter plate 34T retracts backward).

  As shown in FIG. 3, inside the special winning block 34, a normal port 36C, a V confirmation port 36A, and an internal discharge port 35H are provided. The normal opening 36 </ b> C is disposed at the lower left position in the big winning block 34. All the game balls that have entered the big winning block 34 through the first attacker port 34A are taken into the rear side of the game board 11 from the normal port 36C. In addition, each time a game ball is taken from the first attacker port 34A through the normal port 36C to the back of the game board 11, more prize balls are paid out than when winning the general winning port 18A and the starting ports 31A, 32A, 33A. It is.

  The internal discharge port 35H is disposed obliquely above and to the right of the entry restricting member 36B. Then, the game ball won in the second attacker port 35A is discharged into the big winning block 34 from the internal discharge port 35H. The V confirmation opening 36A is arranged at a lower right position in the big winning block 34. Above the V confirmation opening 36A, a closed position where the game ball is prohibited from entering the V confirmation opening 36A and the V confirmation opening 36A. There is provided an entry restricting member 36B that moves back and forth between an open position that allows entry into the ball. Then, most of the game balls that have entered the big winning block 34 through the second attacker port 35A are taken into the rear side of the game board 11 from the V determination port 36A if the entry restricting member 36B is open. When the entry restricting member 36B is closed, the game ball that has entered the big prize block 34 through the second attacker port 35A passes over the entry restriction member 36B and moves to the left in the big prize block 34. It is taken into the back side of the game board 11 from the normal port 36C. Each time the game ball wins the second attacker port 35A and passes through either the normal port 36C or the V determination port 36A and is taken into the back of the game board 11, the general winning port 18A or the start port 31A, More prize balls are paid out than when winning a prize to 32A, 33A.

  Note that an out passage 39 that connects the right flow region Rb and the lower flow region Rc is formed in the outer edge portion along the guide rail 12 of the big winning block 34, and the side start port 32A and the second attacker port are formed. The game balls that have not won 35A and did not fall on the guide upper surface 34B pass through the out passage 39 and are collected in the out port 19 provided at the bottom of the game area R.

<About the flow path of the right flow area Rb>
A common trunk path 50 through which all of the game balls flowing down the right flow region Rb pass is provided above the right flow region Rb. The common trunk path 50 extends in the vertical direction with a width that allows only one game ball to pass therethrough, and a first trunk down path 51 and a second trunk down path 52 are bifurcated at the lower end of the common trunk path 50. Has been contacted. The second trunk flow path 52 extends downward along the outer edge of the game area R from a branch portion with the first trunk flow path 51, and the discharge port 52 </ b> B at the lower end thereof is left toward the start gate 30. Open diagonally downward. The second trunk flow path 52 guides the game ball so as not to win the side start port 32A, and the start gate 30, the special start port 33A disposed on the downstream side, the first and second attackers.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a distribution member 53 is provided at a branch portion between the first trunk flow path 51 and the second trunk flow path 52. The distribution member 53 has a first guide position (state shown in FIG. 3) and a second guide position (state shown in FIG. 4) centered on a rotation axis J1 perpendicular to the front surface of the game board 11. It is possible to tilt between. As shown in FIG. 5, the distribution member 53 includes an upper restricting portion 54 </ b> C extending upward from the rotation axis J <b> 1 (common basic path 50), and the first basic flow path 51 side from the rotation axis J <b> 1. The left restricting portion 54A that forms the left receiving portion 53A with the upper restricting portion 54C and the right receiving portion with the upper restricting portion 54C that extends from the rotation axis J1 to the second main flow down path 52 side. And a right restricting portion 54B forming the portion 53B. Each of the left receiving portion 53A and the right receiving portion 53B can receive only one game ball. In the first guide position shown in FIG. 3, the upper restricting portion 54C is inclined toward the first trunk flow path 51 side, the right receiving portion 53B is opposed to the common trunk route 50, and a game ball is placed on the right receiving portion 53B. In the second guide position shown in FIG. 4, the upper restricting portion 54C is inclined toward the second trunk flow down path 52 side, the left receiving portion 53A faces the common trunk route 50, and the left receiving portion 53A is played by the game. The ball can be accepted.

  Further, a chevron-shaped tilt restriction stopper 55 is provided directly below the distribution member 53, and the left restriction portion 54 </ b> A and the right restriction portion 54 </ b> B come into contact with the tilt restriction stopper 55, so that the distribution member 53 is The first guide position and the second guide position are positioned. Then, the distribution member 53 is switched between the first guide position and the second guide position by the weight of the game ball, and the game balls that have entered the common basic path 50 are transferred to the first basic flow path 51 and the second basic flow path 52. Automatically. As described above, the distribution member 53 accurately distributes the game balls that have passed through the common basic route 50 to the first basic flow down route 51 and the second basic flow down route 52, and thus accurately adjusts the route along which the game balls travel. It becomes possible.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the first basic flow down path 51 extends downward from the branch portion with the second basic flow down path 52 while meandering to the left and right larger than the second basic flow down path 52. The passage time through which the sphere passes is configured to be longer than that of the second basic flow path 52. A side start port 32A, a special start port 33A, a start gate 30 and the like are provided on the downstream side of the first main flow down path 51.

  A ball rotation member 57 is provided in the middle of the first trunk flow path 51. As shown in FIG. 5, the ball rolling member 57 has a receiving wall 57A for receiving a game ball, and a discharge hole 57B that penetrates the receiving wall 57A in the vertical direction and allows the game balls to pass one by one. . The ball rolling member 57 can circulate the game ball around the discharge hole 57B and then roll it down to the discharge hole 57B like a so-called “Kroon”, and the game ball passes through the first basic flow path 51. Change the time irregularly.

  As shown in FIG. 6, at the lower end of the first basic flow path 51, a first guide flow path 61 for guiding the game ball to win the side start port 32A, and the game ball won the side start port 32A. The second guide flow path 62 that is directed toward the start gate 30 and the special start port 33A disposed on the downstream side of the start gate 30 communicates with the second guide flow path 62 that is guided so as not to flow (when the first guide flow path 61 does not flow down). Has been. The side start port 32A is arranged so that the game ball that has passed through the first basic flow path 51 reaches earlier than the special start port 33A, and the game ball that has reached the side start port 32A It is configured not to flow downstream by winning 32A.

  A rolling inclined surface 56 that is inclined downward to the right so that the game ball rolls is provided at the lower end of the first trunk flow path 51. An entrance 61A to the first guide flow path 61 opens upward at the rolling destination of the game ball on the rolling inclined surface 56. Further, a second guide flow path 62 extends downstream from the entrance 61A to the first guide flow path 61, and a lower end portion of the second guide flow path 62 and a lower end portion of the second trunk flow path 52 are Have joined. Here, the discharge port 62 </ b> B at the lower end of the second guide flow path 62 is disposed at a position closer to the start gate 30 than the discharge port 52 </ b> B of the second trunk flow path 52.

  A slide plate 64 is provided at the entrance 61 </ b> A to the first guide flow path 61. The slide plate 64 is linearly moved in the rolling direction on the rolling inclined surface 56, and is opened when the entrance 61A is opened as shown in FIG. 6, and closed when the entrance 61A is closed as shown in FIG. It automatically switches alternately to the state. Further, in order to prevent the game ball from getting stuck at the entrance 61A, the slide plate 64 has a moving speed when switching from the open state to the closed state rather than a moving speed when switching from the closed state to the open state. And the front edge of the lower surface side of the slide plate 64 is cut obliquely. Further, the opening / closing cycle of the slide plate 64 is set to be different from the continuous firing cycle of the game ball by the launching device (interval when the firing is continuously continued), and the game is performed when the slide plate 64 is closed. The timing of launching the game ball cannot be intentionally adjusted so that the ball passes over the entrance 61A, and the fairness of the game can be maintained. The launch device of this reference example is designed to launch a game ball at a rate of 1 ball of 0.6 seconds, and the slide plate 64 is in a disadvantageous open state at a rate of once every 0.5 seconds. It is a specification that switches to an advantageous closed state.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the side start port 32A is arranged directly below the entrance 61A to the first guide flow path 61, and most of the game balls that have fallen from the entrance 61A to the first guide flow path 61 are provided. The side start port 32A is awarded a prize.

  Of the first guide flow path 61, the first winning departure paths 63L and 63R are in communication between the entrance 61A and the side start port 32A. The first winning departure path 63L, 63R is a game ball or side start that has fallen obliquely downward from the entrance 61A of the first guide flow path 61 and the side start port 32A and deviated from the first guide flow path 61. A game ball bounced off at the opening edge of the mouth 32A is received and directed to the special starting port 33A. Here, the first winning departure path 63 </ b> R formed on the right side of the side winning portion 32 is provided adjacent to the second guiding flow path 62, and includes the second trunk flow path 52 and the second guiding flow path 62. Open to the junction between the lower ends. That is, the start gate 30 is disposed at a position where a game ball that has passed through any of the second trunk flow path 52, the second guide flow path 62, and the first winning departure path 63R can be won. On the other hand, the first winning departure path 63L formed on the left side of the side winning portion 32 is that the game ball does not pass through the start gate 30, and the second attacker port 35A and the downstream side thereof are fired. Guidance is made so that the distance from the flow down to the arrival reaches the special start port 33A disposed farther than the side start port 32A. Since the entrance 61A of the first guide flow path 61 is disposed immediately above the side start port 32A, the game ball that has entered the first guide flow path 61 does not win the side start port 32A without winning a prize. There is almost no deviation from the first winning departure path 63L, 63R, and it is extremely rare that the first winning departure path 63L, 63R is lost.

  Here, by providing the distribution member 53 and the slide plate 64 described above, about 2-3% of all the game balls that have flowed down the right-flow region Rb (“right-handed game” for 1 minute (100 balls) 2) When it continues, 2 to 3 balls) are configured to win the side start port 32A. That is, when comparing the side start port 32A and the center start port 31A, regardless of the gaming state (high probability state and low probability state), the side start port 32A wins the game ball more than the center start port 31A. It is difficult to configure.

<About opening and closing of the slide plate 64>
FIG. 27 shows a driving device 65 for the slide plate 64. The driving device 65 includes a driven arm 66 and a motor 67, which are connected by a cam mechanism. An upper end portion of the driven arm 66 is pivotally supported by a rotation axis J2 orthogonal to the game board 11, and a slide plate 64 is integrally provided at a position near the lower end of the driven arm 66. In addition, a coil spring 68 is connected to the lower end of the driven arm 66, and the coil spring 68 is biased to the origin position (position shown in FIG. 27A) where the driven arm 66 is in contact with the stopper 69. Yes. At the origin position, the slide plate 64 is in an advantageous closed state (the state shown in FIG. 7).

  The driven arm 66 is provided with a driven cam 66 </ b> A, and the main drive cam 67 </ b> A is gear-coupled to the output rotation shaft 67 </ b> J of the motor 67. The main driving cam 67A has a configuration in which a cam projection 67T protrudes from a cylindrical surface. In the process in which the driven cam 66A gets over the cam projection 67T, the driven arm 66 moves away from the origin position and the moving end away from the origin position. It is configured to reciprocate between positions (positions shown in FIG. 27B). When the driven arm 66 is at the moving end position, the slide plate 64 is in a disadvantageous open state (the state shown in FIG. 6).

  That is, as shown in the change from FIG. 27A to FIG. 27B, the cam projection 67T of the main driving cam 67A presses the driven cam 66A to move the driven arm 66 from the origin position to the moving end position. By moving, the slide plate 64 changes from the advantageous closed state to the disadvantageous open state, and the driven cam 66A gets over the cam projection 67T as shown in the change from FIG. 27 (B) to FIG. 27 (C). Thus, when the pressure is released, and when the pressure is released, the driven arm 66 is moved to the home position by the elastic force of the coil spring 68 increased by the movement to the moving end position, and the slide plate 64 is advantageously closed. Is configured to return.

<About right and wrong judgment rights>
When a game ball wins the start gate 30, the center start port 31A, the side start port 32A, and the special start port 33A, a right / no-go determination right is generated, and a right / no-go determination using the right / left determination right is performed. These success / failure determination will be described below.

<About the right to judge small hits>
When the game ball passes through the starting gate 30, a “small hit / fail judgment right” is generated, and whether or not to perform the “small hit game” with the special start port 33A open using the small hit / fail judgment right. “Small hit / fail judgment” is performed. The determination result of the small hit / fail determination is notified by a small determination notification unit (not shown) provided in a part of the display decoration frame 20. The small determination notification unit notifies the determination result of the small hitting success / failure determination after performing the small hitting notification effect over a predetermined “small determination effect period”. In addition, when the game ball passes through the start gate 30 during the “small determination effect period”, the “small hit determination right” for that amount is reserved up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, a maximum of four). No more, “Small hit / fail judgment right” is not generated. Then, the “right hit determination right” that has been put on hold is used in the order of occurrence (old order).

<Regarding the first right / fail judgment right>
When a game ball wins in each of the center start port 31A and the side start port 32A, a first right / fail determination right is generated, and a big hit / fail determination is performed using the first right / left determination right. The result of the jackpot success / failure determination performed using the first right / failure determination right is notified by the first determination notification unit 15G (see FIG. 2) provided in the upper left part of the screen of the display 15, for example. The first determination notification unit 15G, for example, has three determination symbols that change in the range of 0 to 9 side by side, and when notifying the result of the big hit success / failure determination, the determination symbols fluctuate vertically. A notification effect of stopping display after displaying (for example, scrolling) is performed. Then, when the big win / fail determination is a win, the combination of the three determination symbols that are displayed in a stopped state becomes a hit symbol combination (for example, the number of 3 digits of the gutter) that means a win. It becomes an out-of-order symbol combination (for example, a three-digit number other than a glance) that means out-of-range. Further, while performing the determination notification effect based on the first right / fail determination right (variation display of the first determination notification unit 15G) and while performing a jackpot game described later, the center start port 31A, side start When a game ball wins in the mouth 32A, the first right / fail judgment right corresponding to that is held up to a predetermined upper limit number, for example, up to four, and the first right / fail judgment right is generated beyond that. do not do. Then, the first right / no-go determination right that is put on hold is used in the order of occurrence (the oldest order).

<About the second right and wrong judgment right>
When the game ball wins the special start port 33A, a second right / no-go judgment right is generated, and the big hit / no-go judgment is performed using the second right / no-go judgment right. The result of the big hit determination that is performed using the second right determination right is notified by the second determination notification unit 25 that is integrally provided in the lower right portion of the display decoration frame 20. In the 2nd determination alerting | reporting part 25, after performing a determination alerting | reporting effect, the result of a big hit determination is displayed. The 2nd determination alerting | reporting part 25 is the determination symbol comprised by several LED, and performs a determination alerting | reporting effect by blinking (fluctuation display) of LED. And, when the big hit success / failure determination is a win, all the LEDs are turned on after the determination notification effect, and in the case of being off, some or all of the LEDs are turned off after the determination notification effect. Become.

  When a game ball wins a special start opening 33A while performing a determination notification effect (flashing of LED) based on the second right / fail determination right and during a big hit game described later, The second right / fail judgment right is reserved up to a predetermined upper limit number, for example, a maximum of four, and the second right / fail judgment right is not generated beyond that. Then, the second right / no-go determination right that is put on hold is used in the order of occurrence (the oldest order). In addition, as described above, the determination notification effect is started using the determination result in the order of occurrence between the first determination result right and between the second determination result right, the first or second one The determination notification effect for the other right / left determination right is started regardless of whether the determination notification effect for the right / left determination right is being executed. Hereinafter, as appropriate, the determination notification effect based on the first determination result is referred to as a “first determination notification effect”, and the determination notification effect based on the second determination result is referred to as a “second determination notification effect”. "

<About the type of jackpot>
As shown in Table 1 below, there are two types of “hit / hit determination” using the first right determination right, “no bonus big hit” and “bonus with bonus”. There is only “Big Bonus with Bonus” in the “hit / no-hit determination” using the right. In other words, the probability of becoming a “hit with bonus” is 100% at the time of the second success / failure determination right (that is, the big win when winning the special start port 33A). On the other hand, the probability of becoming a “hit with bonus” at the first right / no-go decision right (that is, a big win when winning at the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A) is, for example, 1/5 (ie, 20 %), The probability of becoming “no bonus with big bonus” is set to 4/5 (that is, 80%).

  If any of the big hits shown in Table 1 is hit, a “big hit game” is executed to open the first or second attacker port 34A, 35A. The “big hit game” is composed of two rounds. In the first round, only the first attacker port 34A is opened, and in the second round, only the second attacker port 35A is opened. Further, the opening of the first and second attacker ports 34A, 35A has a predetermined opening period (for example, 15 seconds) as an upper limit, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) during the opening period. The ball will be closed as soon as the game ball wins. In addition, since it is necessary to make a right-hand hit in order to win a game ball in the first or second attacker port 34A, 35A by the above arrangement, for a player who wants more prize balls, "Right-handed game" is essential.

  During the second round, the attacker door 35T is operated in a preset manner and the second attacker port 35A is opened. In “Big Bonus with Bonus”, a game ball enters the second attacker port 35A (for example, repeating 1-second opening multiple times), while on the right, Even when a hit is made, it is normally set so that a game ball does not enter the second attacker port 35A (for example, release for one second is performed only once). In other words, during the big hit game of “no special bonus”, the setting is such that the game ball does not enter the V confirmation opening 36A substantially. Note that the movement of the entry restricting member 36B that opens and closes the V confirmation opening 36A is constant regardless of whether "bonus with bonus" or "bonus without bonus".

  Depending on whether or not the player has entered the V-determining port 36A during the big hit game, one or both of the “big hit determination probability” and the “small determination effect period length” after the big hit game are changed compared to the normal time. It is like that.

<About probability>
Regarding the “probability of determining whether or not the jackpot is hit”, there are two settings: a “high probability state” having a higher probability of winning than normal times and a “low probability state” as usual. Here, switching from the “low probability state” to the “high probability state” is called “probability change”, and the “high probability state” is called “probability change state”. In the following description, the “low probability state” will be referred to as a “non-probable variation state” as appropriate. In this reference example, the “decision probability to be a big hit” is set to 1/10 in the “high probability state” and 1/99 in the “low probability state”. Further, the “probability of determining a big hit” is the same for all of the center start port 31A, the side start port 32A, and the special start port 33A, but as described above, the second hit determination right, that is, the special start port The win when winning 33A is 100% with a “bonus with bonus”, whereas the first right / no-win decision right, that is, when winning at the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A. Has a 1/5 chance of a “bonus with a bonus” and a 4/5 chance of a “bonus without a bonus”. 1/10 in the high probability state and 1/99 in the low probability state. On the other hand, if winning in the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A, it is 1/50 in the high probability state and in the low probability state. 1/495 I would say.

<About time reduction>
In this reference example, there are two settings: a “time-short state” where the frequency of “big hit success / failure determination” is higher than usual and a “non-time-short state” as usual. Specifically, in the “normal state”, the execution times of the first and second determination notification effects are both set to 15 seconds to 180 seconds, for example, while in the “short time state”, For example, the execution time of the first determination notification effect is set to 30 seconds to 360 seconds, and the execution time of the second determination notification effect is set to 2 seconds, which is shorter than that in the “normal state”. Thus, for example, the number of “hit / hit determination” performed for 30 seconds is a maximum of 4 times in the “normal state” (2 times in the big-hit determination using the first and second success / failure determination rights). On the other hand, in the “short-time state”, the maximum is 16 times (once in the big-hit determination using the first right-and-left determination right, and 15 times in the big-hit determination using the second right-and-left determination right). In this case, the “hit / hit determination” is performed more frequently than the “non-time-short state”.

  Also, regarding the “small determination effect period”, a relatively short “small determination effect period for time reduction” (for example, 1 second) and a relatively long “small determination effect period for normal use” (for example, 10 seconds) There are two settings. In the short-time state, the execution frequency of the “small hit / fail determination” described above is higher than in the non-time-short state, and the frequency of “small hit” is also high. In addition, when a small hit is made in the short-time state, the opening time of the special start port 33A is set longer than when a small hit is made in the non-time-short state (for example, when a small hit is made in the short-time state) 2 seconds of opening for 2 seconds is repeated, and when a small hit is made in the non-short-time state, only 1-second opening is performed) Although no winning is made, if a right-handed game is played in a short time state, a large number of game balls are won at the special start opening 33A. In this reference example, the “probability of winning a small hit” is set to be higher in the “small hit / fail judgment” in the time-short state than in the non-time-short state.

<Regarding whether or not there is a ball entering the V confirmation opening 36A>
Whether or not the “hit determination probability”, “the length of the first and second determination notification effect periods” and “the length of the small determination effect period (length of variation time)” is changed after the big hit game This is determined by whether or not a game ball has entered the V determination port 36A during the big hit game. Specifically, as shown in the above-mentioned Table 1, regardless of whether the right or wrong decision right is the first right decision right or the second right decision right, if the bonus hit with the bonus is made, If a game ball enters the V determination port 36A, after the big hit game, it becomes a “probability change state” and a “short time state” (hereinafter, referred to as “short time state with a certain change” as appropriate), and a game is made in the V determination port 36A. If the ball does not enter, it becomes a “short-time state” that is not a “probability change state” (hereinafter referred to as a “short-time state without probability change”). In addition, when a “big bonus without bonus” is reached, if a game ball enters the V-determining port 36A during the big hit game, a “probable change state” (hereinafter referred to as “short-time state”) that is not a “short-time state” after the big hit game. If the game ball does not enter the V confirmation opening 36A, the “normal state” which is neither “probability change state” nor “time reduction state” is obtained. These game states are determined regardless of whether the current state is the “normal state”, the “short state when there is a certain change”, the “short state when there is no certain change”, or the “non-short time certain change state”. However, the “short state when there is no certain change” only ends when the number of missed hits in the big hit determination performed before hitting the big hit is determined to reach the predetermined maximum number of big hit determinations To fall.

<About jackpot games>

  As shown in Table 2 above, the display on the display 15 during the big hit game is a big hit in which gaming state, which one of the first and second right / left determination right is the right / left determination right, In the case of a big hit by the second right / wrong determination right, it differs depending on whether or not the first determination notification unit 15G is changing. Specifically, in the jackpot game in the “normal state”, for example, a letter “V” is displayed on the display 15, and in the jackpot game in the “probability change state”, the letter “V” is not displayed. If the winning is determined by the first right / no-go judgment right in the “probable change state”, if the winning is “bonus with bonus”, for example, “probable change continuation” is displayed on the display 15 and “bonus without bonus” is displayed. If so, for example, a “probability change notification effect”, which is displayed as “probability change end”, is performed.

  In addition, if the winning is determined by the first right / wrong determination right in the “normal state”, the determination symbol of the first determination notification unit 15G is not displayed. Here, in the “normal state”, if the winning is determined by the second right / no-go determination right, if the determination symbol of the first determination notification unit 15G is not changing at the start of the big hit game (if it is a stop display), the first If the determination symbol of the first determination notification unit 15G is not displayed and the determination symbol of the first determination notification unit 15G is fluctuating as in the case of the big hit game with the right / no-judgment determination right, the change display of the first determination notification unit 15G Is continued. That is, when the big hit game is started during the fluctuation of the first determination notification unit 15G, the first determination notification unit 15G continuously displays the fluctuation together with the letter “V” (the measurement of the variation time as described later). Is not performed, but the same variation mode as the actual variation display is displayed in order to make it appear to the player that it is variably displayed). It can be recognized that there is, and it can be made difficult for the player to feel a sense of incongruity that the big hit game has suddenly started in the middle of the fluctuation of the first determination notification unit 15G.

  In the “probability change state”, the first determination notification is made in the case of a big hit game based on the first right / fail judgment right and a big hit game based on the second right / left determination right started when the first determination notification section 15G is stopped. The stop display of the unit 15G is continued, and in the case of a big hit game with the second right / wrong determination right started during the change of the first determination notification unit 15G, the change display of the first determination notification unit 15G is continued.

<How to choose between left-handed and right-handed games according to the game state>
As described above, during a big hit game with “bonus with bonus”, a game ball enters the V final opening 36A if the player makes a right-hand hit. Since the opening timing of the second attacker port 35A and the opening timing of the V confirmation port 36A are set so that the ball does not enter the ball substantially, the “big hit with benefit” is set to “big hit with bonus” If this is the case, except for very rare cases, it will be in the “short state when there is a probability change”, and if it is “a big hit without a bonus” in the “big hit success determination”, it will be in the “normal state” that is neither “probable change” nor “short time” . In the “normal state”, as described above, even if a right-handed game is performed, the special start port 33A is hardly won, and the center start port 31A is easier to win than the side start port 32A. Therefore, in order to start the game in the “normal state” and make “hit / hit determination” to obtain more prize balls, perform a left-handed game aiming for winning at the center starting port 31A. Is the preferred way to hit. As a result, it is preferable to perform a right-handed game in order to win the first attacker port 34A and the second attacker port 35A when a big-hit game is executed and a big-hit game is executed.

  In addition, when winning in the “normal state” at the center start opening 31A, if the winning is “no bonus with no privilege”, the “normal state” is continued. On the other hand, if it is a “big hit with a bonus”, winning the V determination port 36A will promote the player from the “normal state” to the “short state with certainty change” after the big hit game. In the “short state with certainty change”, it becomes easier to win the special starting port 33A this time, so it is preferable to continue the right-handed game. During the right-handed game in the “short state with certainty change”, if the winning is made at the special starting port 33A and the winning is always a “big hit with a bonus”, if the winning is made at the V confirmation opening 36A, the “probable changing” The “short state when there is” will be continued. However, when winning at the side start port 32A and hitting a win, the bonus hit with 4/5 of the probability becomes a “big bonus without bonus”, and the “short state with probability change” falls to the “normal state”. . In other words, when winning in the side start port 32A in the “short state with certainty change”, there is no risk of falling to the “normal state” if it is disengaged, but the risk of “falling” increases when hitting. In other words, when winning in the side start port 32A in “short state with certainty”, a Russian roulette game will be executed with the probability of “falling” to “normal state” with a probability of 4/5. become.

  As a result, the psychology of the player who is playing the right-handed game in the “short state with certainty” is awarded to the special start port 33A, but can be directed to hope that the side start port 32A will not win. . In addition to the excitement of aiming at the special start port 33A and the start gate 30 for opening the special start port 33A, the excitement of whether or not it will win the side start port 32A on the upstream side is held, Can enhance the taste.

<About the execution time of the judgment notification effect>
The execution time of the determination notification effect of whether or not the big hit determination is successful is set as follows according to the gaming state. For example, the execution time of the first and second determination notification effects in the “normal state” is set to 15 seconds to 180 seconds as described above. The execution time of the first and second determination notification effects in the “short time state” differs depending on whether the “short state without probability change” or the “short state with probability change”. That is, in the “short state when there is a certain change”, the execution time of the first determination notification effect is set to 30 seconds to 360 seconds, and the execution time of the second determination notification effect is shorter than that in the “normal state”. It is set to 2 seconds (in the above description of the “short time state”, the case of this “short state when there is a certain change” is taken as an example). On the other hand, in the “short state without probability change”, the execution time of the first and second determination notification effects is set to 4 seconds, which is shorter than that in the “normal state”. Also, as described above, between the first and second right / left determination right, the other determination notification effect is started regardless of whether the first or second determination notification effect is being executed. When the right-handed game is being performed in the “short state when there is a certain probability change”, for example, the second determination notification effect is generated a plurality of times during the execution time (30 seconds to 360 seconds) of one first determination notification effect. Is often executed (see FIG. 12B).

<About the relationship between the jackpot game and the judgment notification effect>
During the execution of the jackpot game based on the right or wrong determination right of one of the first or second, the determination notification effect based on the other right / fail determination right (effect by the first determination notification unit 15G or the second determination notification unit 25) Continued. That is, the first determination notification unit 15G or the second determination notification unit 25 continues to fluctuate. Then, after the jackpot game is over, the variable display is extended by the execution time of the jackpot game and then stopped. That is, the display of the determination result (prohibition display of the determination symbol) is postponed. Details will be described below.

  The execution time of the first determination notification effect is set to a predetermined first determination notification effect time (30 seconds to 360 seconds) from the beginning, and the variation display of the determination symbol is executed as the first determination notification effect. Then, the production execution time is counted, and the production execution time is reduced from the initial first determination notification production time. Here, when the big hit game is executed during the variation display of the determination symbol, the variation display of the determination symbol is continuously performed (the variation display that makes it appear that the variation display is continuously performed is performed. ) However, the production execution time count is interrupted. In other words, regardless of whether or not the big hit game is being executed, the first determination notification effect is executed (the change display of the determination symbol is executed), the effect execution time is counted, and the first determination is made. When the jackpot game is executed during the notification effect, the total execution time of the jackpot game is added after the initial first determination notification effect time, and the first determination notification effect time is equal to the execution time of the jackpot game. Only substantially extended. As a result, after the execution of the big hit game, the determination notification effect is extended from the initial production time by the execution time of the big hit game. According to this configuration, the success / failure determination result is not displayed during the execution of the jackpot game, and the player concentrates on the jackpot game without worrying about the outcome of the other determination notification effect. Can do. FIGS. 8 to 12 show the concept related to the interruption of the effect execution time count. 8 to 11, for convenience of explanation, the ratio of the execution time of the determination notification effect of the second success / failure determination right with respect to the execution time of the determination / notification effect of the first right / failure determination right is larger than the actual ratio. Yes.

  In addition, the determination notification effect of the present reference example continues the determination notification effect based on the other success / failure determination right during execution of the big hit game based on the first / second determination right / failure right. Although it is configured to interrupt only the count of execution time, it is not necessarily required to have the same configuration as in this reference example. For example, when the count of the execution time is interrupted, the other determination notification effect is also interrupted at the same time, or Stop (turn off the displayed variable display mode or make a temporary stop state, etc.), resume the determination notification effect interrupted simultaneously with the resumption of the performance execution time, or execute a new determination notification effect You may comprise.

  Here, if the big hit game based on the second right / fail judgment right is started while performing the first judgment notification effect of losing, the first determination notification effect is extended by the execution time of the big hit game. Accordingly, the digestion of the first right / fail decision right that is held can be delayed. In particular, in the case of “short state when there is a certain change” and “hit” is included in the first right / fail judgment right held, the current “ There is a possibility that “short state with certain change” will “fall down” to “normal state”. Therefore, it is possible to delay the arrival of a pinch that can fall into the “normal state” by assigning a hit with the second right / fail judgment right in the “short state when there is a certain change”.

<About deduplication per hit>
As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, during the execution time of the determination notification effect based on the right / fail determination right (that is, the determination notification effect performed immediately before the big hit game) with which the determination result is a win, the other right / left determination right When the determination notification effect based on is started, the determination result of the determination notification effect based on the other right / fail determination right is always controlled to be forcibly removed (in this embodiment, the determination is not performed) Configured to be out of place). This prevents the occurrence of a situation in which the jackpot game with the other right / wrong determination right must be started while the big hit game based on the first / second right / wrong determination right is executed. Whether the first and second right / no-go judgments are used immediately after being generated or withheld, whether or not the first and second right / no-right judgment right is hit immediately after the occurrence is determined in advance. When the first right / fail judgment right that should be a hit is forcibly removed, the display 15 is notified of the hit cancellation.

  Here, in this reference example, in the “short time state with certainty change”, the execution time of the determination notification effect related to the first success / failure determination right is longer than the execution time of the determination notification effect related to the second right / failure determination right. Since the determination notification effect of the second success / failure determination right is started during the execution time of the determination notification effect that is the winning of the first right / failure determination right, Often, the right to judge is forcibly removed. On the other hand, during the execution time of the determination notification effect that is the winning of the second success / failure determination right, the first notification determination effect of the first determination / non-permission determination right is started, and the first success / failure determination right that was originally a hit is determined. In rare cases, (when the random number for success / failure acquired at the time of winning a prize is a win) is forcibly removed without performing the success / failure determination. In this case, the above-described Russian roulette game has been avoided, and the player has escaped from the crisis of “falling” from “short state with certainty” to “normal state”. Players will have a sense of good luck avoiding danger with a close call. In addition, examples of the manner of notifying of the hit cancellation include displaying “Danger Avoidance” on the display 15 and making the screen of the display 15 bright from a dark state. In addition, notification of hit cancellation may be performed by voice or sound effect.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the big hit game is started without interruption of the determination notification effect based on the other right / left decision right, and the first and second right / left right decision rights are executed during the execution of the big hit game. When both of the holdings are in a state of being aligned, the determination notification effect is performed in the order of the first winning / failing determination right and the second winning / failing determination right after the jackpot game ends, regardless of which holding has occurred first. It is controlled to be started. At this time, if the big success / failure determination of the first success / failure determination right is a win, a big hit game is performed based on the hit, and the determination result of the determination notification effect based on the second right / failure determination right is an actual success / failure result. Is forcibly removed without regard. Thereby, when it comes to the situation where the determination notification effects of both the first and second right-and-left determination right can be started after the big hit game, it is possible to give the player a thrilling feeling.

  In addition, the gaming state does not fall from the “short state with probability change” to the “normal state” in the second winning / deciding right, but the gaming state is “probable changing” in the first winning / deciding right. Since there is a possibility of falling from “short state with presence” to “normal state”, when it becomes a situation in which the determination notification effect of both the first and second right-and-left determination right can be started in “short state with certain change” In addition, the gaming state can be easily changed.

<Directing by reporting the remaining basic time>
In the “short state with probability change”, in order to further enhance the player's psychology, the “liquid crystal display time” related to the remaining time of “short state with probability change” is, for example, at the left end of the display 15 as shown in FIG. It is displayed on the remaining time display section 15H (hereinafter referred to as “remaining time notification effect” as appropriate).

  In order to display this “liquid crystal display time”, during the “short state when there is a certain change”, if the first right-and-left determination right that has been put on hold is only out of place, the scheduled execution time of the out-of-first first determination notification effect Is calculated as the “basic remaining time”, and if the first right-and-left determination right held is hit, the execution time of the first determination notification effect until the jackpot game is started The total is calculated as “basic remaining time”. In other words, the “basic remaining time” in the case where all of the first right-and-left determination rights that are on hold are out of date is the minimum time required to execute all the first determination notification effects that are on hold from the current time The “basic remaining time” when there is a hit with the first right / fail decision right pending is the shortest time from the current time until the big hit game with the first right / fail decision right pending is started That's it.

  Then, after the basic remaining time reaches “0”, the “big hit game” can be started. On the remaining time display portion 15H, “liquid crystal display time” based on the basic remaining time is displayed in a countdown manner. Here, after the “big hit game” of the first success / failure determination right, the current “short state with probability change” can fall to the “normal state”, so “normal display” is displayed by the “liquid crystal display time” countdown display. It is possible to give a player a sense of urgency that the arrival of a pinch that can fall into a “state” is imminent.

  In addition, regardless of whether the first and second right-and-left determination right is used immediately after being generated or suspended, whether or not the first and second right-and-left determination right immediately hits immediately after the occurrence and the variation time of the first determination notification effect are determined in advance. It is like that. As a result, it is possible to determine whether or not there is a winning in the first right-and-left determination right group, and the calculation of the “basic remaining time” becomes possible. Note that this pre-reading determination is performed at the same time in the low-probability state and the high-probability state regardless of the game state at the time of winning for the determination of whether or not it is a win, while the execution time of the determination notification effect is It is determined by the gaming state at the time of winning. For example, with respect to the right / left determination right that occurred in the high probability state, even if the right determination right is exhausted, even if it becomes a low probability state, execution of the determination notification effect that can be executed in the high probability state Choose from time. When the “basic remaining time” is calculated based on the hold of the right / no-go determination right that occurred in the low-probability state, the first notification is not the execution time of the determination notification effect in the low-probability state determined in advance. “30 seconds”, which is the shortest time of execution of the determination notification effect, is calculated as the execution time of the determination notification effect.

  When a jackpot game based on the second right / no-go judgment right is executed during the “liquid crystal display time” countdown display in the remaining time display portion 15H, the display of the determination symbol as a first determination notification effect on the display 15 is displayed. In the middle, a process according to the process performed when the jackpot game based on the second right / fail judgment right is executed. That is, as described above, the execution time of the first determination notification effect is set to a predetermined first determination notification effect time (30 seconds to 360 seconds) from the beginning, and the determination symbol is used as the first determination notification effect. When the variation display (hereinafter referred to as “first determination symbol” as appropriate) is executed, the effect execution time is counted (hereinafter, the effect execution time counted is referred to as “special figure 1 variation time” as appropriate). That is, the effect execution time is reduced from the initial first determination notification effect time, but when the big hit game based on the second right / fail determination right is executed during the variation display of the first determination symbol. Although the variation display of the first determination symbol is continuously performed, a process of interrupting the count of the performance execution time has been performed. In other words, regardless of whether or not the big hit game is being executed, the first determination notification effect is executed (the change display of the determination symbol is executed), the effect execution time is counted, and the first determination is made. When the jackpot game is executed during the notification effect, the total execution time of the jackpot game is added after the initial first determination notification effect time, and the first determination notification effect time is equal to the execution time of the jackpot game. Only the process of substantially extending is performed. Regarding the countdown display of the “liquid crystal display time” in the remaining time display unit 15H, the “basic remaining time” that is the source of the “liquid crystal display time” is the first determination notification effect time in order to perform processing according to this. It is calculated by taking the substantial extension time of.

  Specifically, the calculation of the “basic remaining time” is always performed, for example, at the timing when the first determination notification effect is started and at the timing when the first right / wrong determination right is suspended. When the big hit game is executed during the first determination notification effect, the calculation of the “basic remaining time” is not performed when the total execution time of the big hit game during the first determination notification effect is less than 15 seconds. When it is 15 seconds or longer, the “basic remaining time” is calculated at the following timing in order to capture the substantial extension time of the first determination notification effect time of 15 seconds or longer. That is, when the substantial extension time of the first determination notification effect time is 15 seconds or more, the “basic remaining time” is the end timing in the initial first determination notification effect time excluding the extension time. Perform the operation. At this time, the time obtained by combining the greatest common multiple of “15” of the numerical values within the extension time and the scheduled execution time related to the first right / fail decision right, is calculated as “basic remaining time”. . Thus, when a big hit game is executed during the first determination notification effect, the “basic remaining time” is substantially extended by a multiple of 15 seconds in accordance with the total execution time of the big hit game. . Specifically, when the extension time is “10 seconds”, the “basic remaining time” is not extended, and when the extension time is “20 seconds”, the “basic remaining time” is extended by “15 seconds”. Is “35 seconds”, the “basic remaining time” is extended by “30 seconds”. For this reason, when the substantial extension time of the first determination notification effect time is not divisible by 15 seconds (for example, 10 seconds), the first remaining time including the basic remaining time and the extension time is included. A calculation error of a fraction (for example, 10 seconds) occurs between the determination notification effect time. The processing for correcting the calculation error will be described in detail later.

  The remaining time display section 15H does not display all of the “basic remaining time” as the “liquid crystal display time” from the beginning, but counts down while sequentially adding the “basic remaining time” to the “liquid crystal display time” one by one. To do. Specifically, at the start of the first determination notification effect (when the first right / no-go determination right is digested), the determination notification effect time of the first determination notification effect to be started is set to a predetermined time (for example, (15 seconds). Then, the “addition time” to be added to the “liquid crystal display time” is drawn at the timing when the digestion of the block is started. That is, a part of the “basic remaining time” is added to the “liquid crystal display time” counted down every predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds). For example, when the “liquid crystal display time” is “20 seconds”, the basic remaining time is “60 seconds”, and the extra time determined by lottery is “25 seconds”, a predetermined time from the first “20 seconds”, for example, 15 When the “liquid crystal display time” becomes “5 seconds” after a lapse of seconds, “25 seconds” is added, and “liquid crystal display time” becomes “30 seconds” (the remaining basic time at this point) Is 45 seconds). After that, until the “basic remaining time” disappears, the “additional time” drawn from the “basic remaining time” is added to the “liquid crystal display time” every predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds), and the countdown display is performed. When the “basic remaining time” disappears, the “liquid crystal display time” is also “0”. As described above, when the countdown display advances, the remaining time display unit 15H performs an effect that the “additional time” drawn from the “basic remaining time” is added to the “liquid crystal display time” and the remaining time increases at a stretch. As a result, the kite will also appear as if the fall from the “short state with certainty” has been postponed, and can boost the player's mood.

  In addition, the lottery of effects such as “addition time” is performed not only at the start of the first and second determination notification effects (at the start of variation of the determination symbol) but at a predetermined time, so that it is long as in this reference example. Even if the effect time of the determination notification effect is set, the effect is periodically executed, and the player can be prevented from being bored.

  Further, when the count of the variation time of the determination notification effect based on the first success / failure determination right is interrupted by the execution of the jackpot game based on the second right / failure determination right, the time for the interruption is the first determination At the end of the initial determination notification effect time of the notification effect (when all the blocks are digested), the initial basic remaining time is added. Specifically, when the total time of interruption exceeds a certain length (for example, 15 seconds), the interruption time is again divided into blocks every predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds), and the basic remaining in units of the blocks. It is added to the time, and if it is less than a certain length, it is rounded down.

  The main display effect section 15U displays an added “liquid crystal display time” for a predetermined time before adding the extra time and starting the countdown display (hereinafter referred to as “addition effect”). ) And the countdown display is started from the “liquid crystal display time” displayed in the extra effect after the extra effect is completed (see FIG. 2). The execution time of this “add-on effect” is determined by lottery. In addition, during the execution of the “addition effect”, the “addition effect” lottery is not performed even at the timing when the above-described block digestion is started. In the above-described example, the flow of increase / decrease in “liquid crystal display time” is described on the assumption that the execution time of “addition effect” is 0 second. The flow of increase / decrease in “liquid crystal display time” including “addition effect” will be described below. When the countdown display from the first “20 seconds” becomes “5” after 15 seconds, “28” is displayed as the “liquid crystal display time” in which “25 seconds” is added after the addition of 2 seconds. After the additional effect is performed for “2 seconds” (the countdown display changes from “5” to “3” during this time), the “liquid crystal display time” countdown display in the remaining time display portion 15H is changed from “3” to “28”. ", And the countdown display starts from" 28 ".

  Here, if there is a hit with the first right / fail decision right held in “short state with certain change”, after the countdown display by the remaining time display unit 15H ends (becomes “0”), The “big hit game” is started by winning the first right / fail judgment right. In other words, until the countdown display of the remaining time display unit 15H is finished, except for a very rare case, the player will not fall from the current “short state when there is a certain change”. Recognizing that the “short state when there is a certain change” is guaranteed, the remaining time display portion 15H when the “addition time” is added is recognized as the time displayed in FIG. And it is possible to enjoy the game while watching the addition effect in the main display effect part 15U.

  Here, the above-mentioned “very rare case” means that a big hit game of the second right / fail judgment right is performed in the “short state when there is a certain change”, and the big hit game has failed to enter the V determination opening 36A. In this case, the time falls from the “short state when there is a certain change” to the “short state when there is no certain change” earlier than the time displayed on the remaining time display portion 15H. The remaining time notification effect and the extra effect in this case will be described in detail later.

<Internal processing of “Remaining time notification effect”>
An outline of the internal processing of the “remaining time notification effect” will be described. As shown in FIG. 73, in this reference example, in order to control the “liquid crystal display time” in the “remaining time notification effect”, the “special figure 1 variable time timer”, “variable scenario timer”, “main control timer” Various timers such as “production timer” and “liquid crystal timer” are provided.

  The “special figure 1 fluctuation time timer” is for counting the fluctuation time of the first determination notification effect (special figure 1 fluctuation time), and the specified fluctuation time is set at the start of the first determination notification effect. The subtraction is always performed in accordance with the passage of time, while the subtraction is interrupted during the execution of the big hit game based on the second right / fail judgment right.

  The “fluctuation scenario timer” is a timer that starts counting at the start of the first determination notification effect and restarts the counting every 15 seconds. The period of 15 seconds corresponds to the “block” described above.

  The “main control timer” manages the “basic remaining time” calculated as described above. The timing at which the first determination notification effect is started, the timing at which the first right / no-go determination right is suspended, and The calculated “basic calculation time” is set at three timings, that is, the timing when the “special figure 1 fluctuation time timer” remains for 15 seconds or more at the end of the initial first determination notification effect time. Then, the “main control timer” is subtracted for 15 seconds at the timing when the digestion of the block is started (that is, subtracted in increments of 15 seconds). It should be noted that the subtraction of 15 seconds is not performed at the timing when the digestion of the first block is started (at the start of the production of the first determination notification effect). That is, the count result of the “main control timer” is delayed in the range of 0 to 15 seconds with respect to the true “basic remaining time”.

  The “effect timer” manages the execution time of the extra effect, and the execution time of the extra effect determined by the lottery is set at the time of the extra effect lottery performed at the timing when the digestion of the block is started. Then, 15 seconds are subtracted at the timing (in principle, after 15 seconds) when digestion of the next block is started (that is, subtraction is performed in increments of 15 seconds). At this timing, if the “effect timer” after subtraction is “0”, the additional effect lottery is performed again, and if it is not “0”, the additional effect lottery is not performed.

  The “Liquid Crystal Timer” matches the “Liquid Crystal Display Time” every 15 seconds, and the “Extra Time” determined by the lottery was added at the time of the extra effect lottery performed at the timing when the digestion of the block was started. Updated on time. Similarly to the “production timer”, the subtraction is performed for 15 seconds at the timing (in principle, 15 seconds later) when digestion of the next block is started (ie, subtraction is performed every 15 seconds). When the extra effect lottery is performed at this timing, the “liquid crystal timer” after the subtraction is updated to the time obtained by adding the “addition time” determined in the lottery.

  Here, the “effect timer” and the “liquid crystal timer” are the timing at which the digestion of the block is started at the timing at which 15 seconds are subtracted. In addition, no subtraction is performed at the timing when the next first determination notification effect is not started. At this time, these timers are decremented by 15 seconds after the timing described above or at the timing when the next first determination notification effect is started.

  The flow of increase / decrease in the main timer and “liquid crystal display time” will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 73 shows a case where the first determination notification effect of the special figure 1 variation time “60” is started at the timing when the liquid crystal display time and the liquid crystal timer are “10”, and the first right / fail determination right is not suspended. The time charts of various timers are shown. First, since the special figure 1 variation time is “60”, it is divided into four blocks, and “60” is set in the “main control timer”. Here, at the timing when the digestion of the first block is started (timing at which the first determination notification effect is started), the lottery for the extra effect is performed. At this time, the “addition time” is selected so as to be a value within a value obtained by subtracting the value of the “liquid crystal timer” from the value of the “main control timer” (for example, within 60−10 = 50). For example, when the extra time selected by lottery is “30 seconds” and the execution time of the extra effect is “10 seconds”, “10” is set in the effect timer, and the liquid crystal timer is immediately added by 30 seconds and starts from “10”. “40”. Then, “30”, which is the liquid crystal display time after the extra effect, is displayed on the main display effect unit 15U as an extra effect for 10 seconds. During this time, the liquid crystal display time of the remaining time display unit 15H is changed from “10” to “ Counts down to "0". Thereafter, “30 seconds” is added to “0”, the liquid crystal display time becomes “30”, and the countdown is performed from “30”.

  The main control timer “60”, the effect timer “10”, and the liquid crystal timer “40” are subtracted by 15 seconds at the timing when the digestion of the second block is started (15 seconds after the start of the first determination notification effect). , “45”, “0”, and “25”, respectively. Since the “production timer” is “0”, the extra production lottery is performed again. At this time, the “liquid crystal display time” has passed 5 seconds from immediately after the last presentation effect, and has changed from “30” to “25”. The lottery is selected so that the “addition time” is within 20 seconds (45 (main control timer) −25 (liquid crystal timer)). For example, if the extra time selected by lottery is “10 seconds” and the execution time of the extra effect is “10 seconds”, the liquid crystal timer “25” is immediately increased by 10 seconds to “35”. Then, the liquid crystal display time of the remaining time display portion 15H is counted down from “25” to “15” for 10 seconds, then added by 10 seconds to “25”, and the countdown is performed from “25”. After that, an additional effect is performed every 15 seconds, and the “liquid crystal timer” and “liquid crystal display time” are updated.

  In addition, as shown in * 1 of FIG. 74, when the execution time of the selected extra effect is 15 seconds or more, the extra effect lottery is not performed at the timing when the next block is digested. For example, in the case where the execution time of the selected extra effect is 20 seconds, at the timing when the extra effect is started (* 2, in FIG. 74, when the digestion of the second block is started), "Is set to" 20 ". Then, 15 seconds later (timing when the third block starts to be digested), the performance timer “20” is decremented by 15 to “5” (* 3 in FIG. 74). At this time, since the “effect timer” is not “0”, the lottery for the extra effect is not performed. According to this, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the next extra production is started during the extra production.

  Here, the “liquid crystal timer” and the “liquid crystal display time” are configured to coincide with the lottery of the extra effect (after the subtraction of 15 seconds and before the extra in the “liquid crystal timer”). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 73, for example, both “liquid crystal timer” and “liquid crystal display time” are “25” (timing of * 1 in FIG. 73), and the additional time is “10 seconds”. When the additional effect execution time is “10 seconds”, the liquid crystal timer “25” is immediately added by “10 seconds” to “35”. At this point, there is a difference between the “liquid crystal timer” and the “liquid crystal display time”. On the other hand, the “liquid crystal display time” is 10 seconds later (the timing of * 2 in FIG. 73), that is, after being counted down from “25” to “15”, is added by “10 seconds” to become “25”. . Even at this time, the liquid crystal timer “35” is different from the liquid crystal display time “25”. 5 seconds later, the liquid crystal timer “35” is subtracted by 15 seconds to become “20”, and the “liquid crystal display time” is also counted down from “25” for 5 seconds to “20”. The “liquid crystal display time” again matches. That is, the “liquid crystal timer” and the “liquid crystal display time” match only in 15 second increments.

  The “liquid crystal timer” is actually subtracted only in increments of 15 seconds, but assuming that it is subtracted in increments of 1 second as time elapses, the liquid crystal display time “25” after the extra effect and the liquid crystal timer “25 (35) −10) ”. In other words, the “liquid crystal timer” is configured such that the extra time is added in advance at the time of lottery for the extra effect, and coincides with the “liquid crystal display time” after the extra effect. It matches at the time of lottery for extra production. Thereby, at the time of lottery for an extra effect, for example, it is possible to prevent an “additional time” that cannot be added, such as the “liquid crystal display time” after addition exceeding the “main control timer” being determined.

  Now, as shown in * 3 of FIG. 73, when the big hit game with the second right / fail judgment right is executed on the way, the subtraction is interrupted and the big hit game is ended in the “special figure 1 variable time timer”. Later, the subtraction is resumed. On the other hand, other timers such as “liquid crystal display time”, “main control timer”, and “liquid crystal timer” continue to be subtracted even during the big hit game.

  For example, if the subtraction of “Special Figure 1 Fluctuation Time Timer” is interrupted for 10 seconds, “Liquid Crystal Display Time” is the time when all the blocks are consumed (* 4 in FIG. 73, the time when the original fluctuation time has elapsed). ) Becomes “0”. The “special figure 1 fluctuation time timer” becomes “0” 10 seconds later, and the first determination notification effect is ended. Further, the “liquid crystal timer” is not subtracted when all the blocks are digested, and therefore remains “15”, for example, and is subtracted 15 seconds later to “0”.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 75, when the interruption time of “Special Figure 1 Variation Time Timer” is 15 seconds or more, when all the blocks are digested (* 1 in FIG. 75, the original variation time has elapsed). At that time, the remaining “Special Figure 1 Variation Time Timer” is again divided into 15-second blocks. For example, if the remaining “Special Figure 1 Fluctuation Time Timer” is 20 seconds, one block is created, and the lottery for the extra effect is further performed at the timing when the digestion of that block is started.

  Here, when the first determination notification effect is prolonged from the beginning by the execution of the jackpot game with the second right / no-go determination right, when the next first determination notification effect is started, the “liquid crystal” There may be a difference between the “timer” and the “liquid crystal display time”. Details will be described below.

  FIG. 76 shows the flow of various timers when the first determination notification effect of 60 seconds is performed twice, and the “special figure 1 variable time timer” is interrupted for 10 seconds by the first determination notification effect of the first time. It is shown. First, at the timing at which the first first determination notification effect is started, the scheduled execution time of the first determination notification effect is combined with the next scheduled execution time of the first determination notification effect. “120 seconds” is set in the “main control timer”. Thereafter, until the middle, various timers increase / decrease in the same way as the flow of various timers shown in FIG. 73, and are omitted, and the timing at which the main control timer changes from “90” to “75” (* 1 in FIG. 76). ) First, at the timing of “90” → “75” (digestion of the fourth block is started), both “liquid crystal timer” and “liquid crystal display time” are, for example, “12”. When the extra time is determined to be “28 seconds” and the execution time of the extra effect is determined to be “10 seconds”, the liquid crystal timer “12” is immediately increased by “28 seconds” to “40”. On the other hand, the “liquid crystal display time” is counted down from “12” for 10 seconds to “2”, and then added by 28 seconds to “30”. Five seconds later (* 2 in FIG. 76), the fourth block has been digested, and the original fluctuation time has elapsed. Further, since the interruption time of “Special Figure 1 Fluctuation Time Timer” is “10 seconds” and less than 15 seconds, no block is added. At this time, since all blocks are digested and digestion of the next block is not started, the “liquid crystal timer” is not subtracted and remains “40”. On the other hand, the “liquid crystal display time” is counted down from “30” for 5 seconds to “25”.

  Then, 10 seconds later, the “special figure 1 variable time timer” becomes “0”, and the first determination notification effect for the first time is finished and the first determination notification effect for the second time is started (FIG. 76 * 3). The execution time “60 seconds” of the first determination notification effect is divided into four blocks, digestion of the first block is started, and an extra lottery is performed. At this time, the liquid crystal timer “40” is decremented by 15 seconds to “25” with the start of block digestion, while “liquid crystal display time” is counted down from “25” for 10 seconds to “15”. . In other words, “liquid crystal display time” is subtracted as time elapses, whereas “liquid crystal timer” actually subtracts “15 seconds” even though “25 seconds” have elapsed. A certain “10-second” shift will occur between the two at the time of lottery.

  Here, when the remaining time notification effect proceeds while the “liquid crystal timer” and the “liquid crystal display time” are shifted in this manner, for example, the main control timer is “15”, the “liquid crystal timer” is “10”, “ When the “liquid crystal display time” becomes “0”, the time within “15 seconds” can be actually added, but the additional time is drawn within “5 seconds”. In this case, although the “main control timer” remains, the “liquid crystal display time” becomes “0” as compared to the state where there is no deviation between the “liquid crystal timer” and the “liquid crystal display time”. It becomes easy to happen.

  In order to prevent such a situation, in this reference example, the “liquid crystal display time” after the addition is not a value obtained by adding “addition time” to the “liquid crystal display time” immediately before the addition, but is added from the “liquid crystal timer”. The value obtained by subtracting the execution time (effect timer) and adding the “addition time” is set. Specifically, if the extra time is determined to be “15 seconds” and the execution time of the extra effect is “10 seconds” in the extra effect lottery at the timing when the deviation occurs (* 3 in FIG. 76), the liquid crystal timer “ “25” is immediately added by 15 seconds to “40”. On the other hand, after “10” is counted down from “15” to “5” (* 4 in FIG. 76), “liquid crystal display time” is added to “5” for 15 seconds to become “20”. Rather, the liquid crystal timer “25” at the time of the extra effect is subtracted by 10 seconds corresponding to the execution time of the extra effect and added to 15 seconds to become “30”. As a result, at the timing when the extra effect is drawn lottery after 5 seconds (* 5 in FIG. 76), “liquid crystal display time” is subtracted from “40” by 15 seconds to “25”, and “liquid crystal timer” is “ Since “30” is changed to “25”, both coincide with each other again. In this way, in this reference example, the process of matching the “liquid crystal display time” with the “liquid crystal timer” is performed every time the extra effect is produced, so even if a deviation occurs between the two, the deviation is corrected by the extra effect. be able to. Furthermore, since this shift is corrected at the timing of the extra effect, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to feel uncomfortable.

  In this reference example, the time of the first determination notification effect in the probability variation state is configured to be a multiple of 15, and the above-described only when the special figure 1 variation time timer is interrupted by the big hit game. Such a difference between the “liquid crystal display time” and the “liquid crystal timer” occurs, but the time of the first determination notification effect includes a time other than a multiple of 15 and the difference occurs between the two. Even if it exists, it can prevent that the state which shifted | deviated for a long time by the process mentioned above.

  Note that even if the “liquid crystal timer” and “liquid crystal display time” are different at the time of lottery for the extra effect, the “liquid crystal display time” will not be larger than the “liquid crystal timer”. "Extra time" that cannot be added, such as "" exceeds the "main control timer", will not be drawn.

<About the display of the main display effect section>
During the short state when there is a certain change, the main display effect section 15U performs the “short state production when there is a certain change” at a time other than the time when the “addition effect” is performed. In the “provision for short state with certainty change”, for example, an image of a specific character running is displayed on the main display effect section 15U. Once the “addition effect” is started, the “short-state effect when there is a certain change” is no longer displayed, and is displayed again after the “addition effect” is completed. By displaying this “effect for short state when there is certain change”, it is possible to make the player recognize that the state is short when there is certain change.

<About falls during the production stage>
As described above, in a very rare case, a big hit game with the second right / fail judgment right is performed in the “short state when there is a certain change”, and the big hit game cannot enter the V determination port 36A. It may fall from “short state with certainty” to “short state without certain”. In addition, as described above, the “short state when there is no certain change” is terminated when the number of missed hits in the big hit determination made before hitting the big hit is judged to reach the upper limit number of big hits. To fall. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 12 (A), depending on the setting of the maximum number of jackpot determinations, the game state is “no probability change” in the state in which “the effect for short state with probability variation” is displayed on the main display effect unit 15U. When the player further “falls” from the “short-time state” to the “normal state”, the game ball hardly wins at the special start port 33A, so the player notices a sudden change in the game state, and feels uncomfortable with the difference between the production contents and the game state. The situation to remember is possible.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present reference example, the maximum number of jackpot determinations is set so that the “short time state without probability change” continues longer than the longest execution time of the first determination notification effect. Specifically, the longest execution time of the first determination notification effect is “360 seconds” that can be executed in the “short state when there is a certain change”, and the second determination notification effect in the “short state when there is no certain change”. Since the execution time is “4 seconds”, the maximum number of jackpot determinations is set to a value of 90 times (= 360/4) or more. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 12B, while the game state is “short state when there is no certain change”, the effect display for “short state when there is a certain change” in the main display effect unit 15U ends. Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present reference example, after the effect display for “short state with probability change” is finished, the effect display for “short state without probability change” is displayed on the main display effect unit 15U of the display 15 (for example, “ The display of the main display effect section 15U of the display 15 is also changed to the effect display for the “normal state” at the same time as the gaming state further falls from the “short state without probability change” to the “normal state”. Transition. As a result, the player does not feel uncomfortable and the game can be enjoyed.

  Further, the above-mentioned fall from the “short state with probability change” to the “short state without probability change” described above, in particular, immediately before or during execution of the big hit game of the second success / failure determination right, When the “addition effect” (display of “liquid crystal display time” after the addition) is started and the “addition effect” continues to be executed after the end of the jackpot game, While the “additional effect” is performed (the “liquid crystal display time” after the addition is displayed), the gaming state falls from the “short state when there is a certain change” to the “short state when there is no certain change”.

  Here, if the countdown display (remaining time notification effect) of the remaining time display unit 15H is immediately ended in response to the fact that the gaming state has fallen to “short state without probability change”, The consistency of the production cannot be obtained with the “additional production”. That is, in the main display effect section 15U, an “addition effect” meaning the next addition is performed, while in the remaining time display section 15H, the countdown display of “liquid crystal display time” ends.

  On the other hand, according to the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present reference example, in the middle of execution of the “additional effect”, it falls from the “short state when there is a certain change” to the “short state when there is no certain change” according to the second right / no-go decision right. In such a case, after the “addition effect” is finished and the block time (the block time after the addition) is displayed on the remaining time display portion 15H according to the display contents of the “addition effect”, the block time is counted down. It is configured so as to expedite the end of the display (remaining notification effect). Specifically, for example, in the state where “18 seconds” is displayed on the main display effect part 15U as an extra effect, the big hit game ends and changes from “short state with probability change” to “short state without probability change”. In the case of falling, after the addition effect is finished, “18” is once displayed on the remaining time display portion 15H. Thereafter, the countdown speed of the remaining time display unit 15H is increased, and the “liquid crystal display time” displayed on the remaining time display unit 15H is shorter than the displayed “liquid crystal display time” (for example, within 3 seconds). "Is set to" 0 "(this is referred to as" short time effect "as appropriate). Thereby, it is possible to achieve the consistency of the effect between the “addition effect” and the “remaining time notification effect”, and it is possible to quickly match the gaming state and the effect. The “short-time effect” only needs to be able to set the “liquid crystal display time” to “0 seconds” within the effect time of the “short-time effect”. For example, “18 seconds” displayed on the main display effect unit 15U is counted down. It may be set to “0 seconds” suddenly. The “time saving effect” is executed in place of the “addition effect” at the timing when the additional effect is selected by lottery. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation where a time-shortening effect is executed during the extra effect.

  The first determination notification unit 15G in the above configuration corresponds to the “first notification unit” of the present invention. Further, the big hit determination based on the first right / fail determination right corresponds to the “first determination / non-right determination” of the present invention, and the determination notification effect based on the first right / fail determination right is the “first determination effect” of the present invention. It corresponds to. The second determination notification unit 25 corresponds to the “second notification unit” of the present invention. Also, the big hit determination based on the second determination right corresponds to the “second determination determination” of the present invention, and the determination notification effect based on the second determination right is the “second determination effect” of the present invention. It corresponds to.

<Detection of abnormalities due to fraud and malfunction>
Among the game areas R, a plurality of game ball detection sensors Z1 to Z4 according to the present invention are arranged at various locations in the right flow area Rb, and the detection result of the game balls by the plurality of game ball detection sensors Z1 to Z4. It is possible to detect anomalies due to fraud and malfunctions. In addition to the abnormality detection by the game ball detection sensors Z1 to Z4, the presence / absence of the determination notification effect based on the first success / failure determination right and the presence / absence of the determination notification effect based on the second right / failure determination right Based on the above, it is possible to detect anomalies due to fraud or failure.

<About the game ball detection sensors Z1 to Z4>
A first game ball detection sensor Z1 is provided in the common trunk path 50 in the right-side down area Rb. The first game ball detection sensor Z1 detects all the game balls that pass through the common trunk route 50 (that is, flow down the right flow region Rb).

  A second game ball detection sensor Z2 is provided in the first guide flow path 61 that communicates with the lower end of the first trunk flow path 51. The second game ball detection sensor Z2 is disposed at a position directly above the side start port 32A, and all the game balls passing through the first guide flow path 61 by the second game ball detection sensor Z2. Is detected.

  A third game ball detection sensor Z3 is provided in the second guide flow path 62. All the game balls that pass through the second guide flow down path 62 are detected by the third game ball detection sensor Z3. Here, the sum of the number of detections by the second game ball detection sensor Z2 and the number of detections by the third game ball detection sensor Z3 is the number of game balls that have passed through the first trunk flow path 51.

  Further, a fourth game ball detection sensor Z4 is provided inside the side start port 32A, and all the game balls won in the side start port 32A are detected by the fourth game ball detection sensor Z4. The

<About abnormality detection using the 1st-3rd game ball detection sensors Z1-Z3>
The game balls that have passed through the common trunk path 50 are distributed one by one alternately to the first trunk flow path 51 and the second trunk flow path 52 regardless of the firing strength. Therefore, if the distribution member 53 is functioning normally, the difference between the number of game balls passing through the first basic flow path 51 and the number of game balls passing through the second basic flow path 52 is the maximum. But it becomes “one ball”. In other words, if there is a large difference between the number of game balls that have passed through the first trunk flow path 51 and the number of game balls that have passed through the second trunk flow path 52, the distribution member 53 will An abnormality may have occurred. Therefore, in this reference example, the difference between the number of game balls distributed to the first basic flow path 51 and the number of game balls distributed to the second basic flow path 52 is represented by the first to third game balls. It is calculated from the detection results of the detection sensors Z1 to Z3, and when the difference exceeds a predetermined reference allowable range (for example, “20 balls or more”), it is determined that there is an abnormality, and an abnormality is notified. . Abnormality notification includes generation of an error sound from a speaker provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10, lighting of an error lamp, display of an error on the display 15, notification of an error to a hall computer in a game store, etc. The same is true for “abnormality notification”.

  This abnormality detection detects an abnormality in which the distribution to the first trunk flow path 51 or the second trunk flow path 52 is extremely biased due to an illegal act on the sorting member 53 or a failure of the sorting member 53. be able to. As a more specific example, in order to avoid falling from the “probability change state” due to winning at the side start port 32A, it is possible to detect fraud that avoids the distribution to the first trunk flow path 51, Damage to the amusement store can be reduced. Further, it is possible to detect an abnormality in which any one or two of the first to third game ball detection sensors Z1 to Z3 have failed and the game ball cannot be detected.

<Regarding Abnormality Detection Using Second to Fourth Game Ball Detection Sensors Z2 to Z4>
As described above, the game balls distributed to the first basic flow path 51 have a predetermined frequency (specifically, for example, every time 50 balls pass through the first basic flow path 51, 2 to 3 balls are passed. It is configured to win the side start port 32A at a frequency of about). Therefore, in this reference example, the winning frequency at the side start port 32A is calculated from the detection results by the second to fourth gaming ball detection sensors Z2 to Z4, and there is an abnormality when the winning frequency is too low or too high. Is determined and abnormality notification is performed.

  Specifically, when the number of game balls passing through the first trunk flow path 51 reaches a predetermined reference passage number (for example, 500 balls), the number of game balls won in the side start port 32A is If it is less than a predetermined reference lower-limit distribution number (for example, 12 balls), it is determined that there is an abnormality because the winning frequency at the side start port 32A is too small. In addition, when the number of times determined to be abnormal exceeds the first reference number (for example, two times), the abnormality notification is performed and the second reference number (for example, five times) greater than the first reference number is provided. If exceeded, the game is not allowed to continue in addition to the abnormality notification.

  By detecting an abnormality that the frequency of winning at the side start port 32A is too low, for example, an abnormality in which the ball clogging in the first guide flow path 61 or the slide plate 64 is stopped in a closed state due to an illegal act or a failure is detected. It becomes possible. Therefore, in order to avoid the fall from the “probability change state”, an illegal act that prevents the game ball that has entered the first guide flow path 61 from winning the side start port 32A (for example, entered the first guide flow path 61). It is possible to discover the action of guiding the game ball to the first winning departure path 63L, 63R with a magnet. In addition, since the game cannot be continued when the number of times of determination that there is an abnormality exceeds the second reference number, even if the game is continued without taking appropriate measures against the abnormality notification, the game store suffers. Increase in damage can be suppressed.

  In addition, the game balls won in the side start port 32A until the number of game balls passing through the first trunk flow path 51 as the core passage part reaches a predetermined reference passage number (for example, 500 balls). If the number exceeds the predetermined reference upper limit allocation number (for example, 100 balls), it is determined that there is an abnormality because the winning frequency at the side start port 32A is too high. When it is determined that there is an abnormality, an abnormality notification is performed.

  Further, by detecting an abnormality that the winning frequency at the side start port 32A is too high, for example, an abnormality in which the ball clogging in the second guide flow path 62 or the slide plate 64 is stopped in an open state due to an illegal act or a failure is detected. It becomes possible to discover. In addition, for example, by using a game ball with a thread to disguise a winning at the side start port 32A, it is possible to discover an act of illegally acquiring a prize ball. Further, by detecting an abnormality that the winning frequency at the side start port 32A is too high, it is possible to suppress the act of winning more prizes at the side start port 32A than at the center start port 31A in the normal gaming state.

<Regarding abnormality detection using the second and fourth game ball detection sensors Z2, Z4>
As described above, since the game balls that have passed through the first guide flow path 61 are configured to win the side start port 32A, the number of game balls detected by the second game ball detection sensor Z2 and When there is a large difference between the number of game balls detected by the fourth game ball detection sensor Z4, there is a possibility that an abnormality has occurred. Therefore, in this reference example, a difference (winning difference) between the number of game balls detected by the second game ball detection sensor Z2 and the number of game balls detected by the fourth game ball detection sensor Z4 is determined in advance. If the allowable winning difference is exceeded, it is determined that there is an abnormality and an abnormality notification is made. Specifically, when the winning difference exceeds the first allowable winning difference (for example, reaches 10 balls), an abnormality is notified, and the winning difference exceeds the second allowable winning difference that is larger than the first allowable winning difference. In the case of (for example, reaching 15 balls), the game is not allowed to continue in addition to the abnormality notification.

  Thereby, in order to avoid the fall from the “probability change state”, an illegal act that prevents the game ball that has entered the first guide flow path 61 from winning the side start port 32A (for example, the first winning deviation path 63L with a magnet). , 63R). Further, it is possible to detect an act of illegally acquiring a prize ball by using a game ball with a thread to disguise a winning at the side start port 32A or guiding a game ball to the side start port 32A by a magnet. it can. In addition, it is possible to detect an abnormality in which the second game ball detection sensor Z2 or the fourth game ball detection sensor Z4 fails and cannot detect the game ball. Furthermore, since the game cannot be continued when the winning difference exceeds the second allowable winning difference, even if the game is continued without taking appropriate measures for the abnormality notification, Expansion can be suppressed.

<Abnormality detection based on whether or not big hit / fail judgment is performed>
In a right-handed game, the game ball wins the side start port 32A with the above-described winning frequency regardless of the launching strength of the launcher, and therefore, statistically, the hit determination of the second hit determination right is executed a specific number of times. Each time it is made, the big hit determination of the first right determination right is executed once. Therefore, when the big hit determination of the second success / failure determination right is repeated more than the specific number of executions without executing the big hit determination of the first right / failure determination right even once, Some abnormality such as a failure may have occurred.

  In order to detect such an abnormality, in this reference example, the number of times that the determination notification effect of the second success / failure determination right is started in a state where the determination / notification effect of the first determination / non-permission determination right is not executed is counted. And a first counter that resets the count every time the determination notification effect of the second success / failure determination right is started during the execution of the determination / notification effect of the first right / failure determination right. It is configured to determine that there is an abnormality when the count number exceeds a predetermined first allowable number of times.

  Thereby, in order to avoid the fall from the “probability change state”, an act of illegally avoiding the big hit determination based on the first right determination right, for example, an illegal operation of the sorting member 53 or the slide plate 64 or a magnet is used. By guiding the game ball, it is possible to detect an act of avoiding winning in the side start opening 32A. Also, an abnormality that cannot be detected by the detection results of the first to fourth game ball detection sensors Z1 to Z4 (for example, an act of illegally acquiring the second right / no-go determination right by giving electric noise to the control board). Can be detected. Furthermore, even when all of the first to third game ball detection sensors Z1 to Z3 have failed, it is possible to detect an abnormality that the winning frequency to the side start port 32A is too low.

<Regarding the control flow of the pachinko gaming machine 10>
The above is the description other than the control flow of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present reference example. Next, the control flow of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this reference example will be described in detail. Of the control flows described below, the present invention is deeply related to the “fraud monitoring process” (S17) shown in FIGS. 21 to 26 and “when fraud monitoring power is turned on” shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. Although the “setting process” (S2), the overall control flow of the game other than these will also be described.

  When the power of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on, a main control circuit (not shown) provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10 executes the main program PG1. As shown in FIG. 13, in the main program PG1, first, initialization of the CPU and the like is performed (S1).

  Following the initial setting (S1), a fraud monitoring power-on setting process (S2) is executed. In this process (S2), as shown in FIG. 14, initial values of various values used in a fraud monitoring process (S17) described later are set. Specifically, first, “20” is set as the initial value of “monitoring value A” used in the sorting apparatus abnormality detection process (S30) (S20).

  Next, “6” is stored as the initial value of the limit value B used in the right start opening prize abnormality 1 process (S31), “0” is set as the initial value of the “base value B”, and “monitoring value B”. “0” is set as the initial value of S (S21).

  Next, “0” is set as the initial value of “base value C” used in the right start opening prize abnormality 2 process (S32), and “0” is set as the initial value of “monitoring value C” (S22).

  Next, “15” is set as the initial value of “monitoring value D” used in the right start opening prize abnormality 3 process (S33) (S23).

  Next, “0” is set as an initial value of “monitoring value E” (corresponding to the “first counter” described above) used in the right start opening prize abnormality 4 process (S34) (S24). The initial setting (S1) and the fraud monitoring power-on setting process (S2) are executed only when the main program PG1 is run for the first time after the power is turned on, and are not executed thereafter.

  In the remaining time from the fraud monitoring power-on setting process (S2) to the execution of an interrupt process (S6) described later, the following processes in steps S3 to S5 are looped. First, interrupts are prohibited (S3), and even if a timer interrupt comes in, interrupt processing (S6) is not performed until the interrupt is enabled. Subsequently, normal symbol / special symbol random number update processing (S4) is executed. In this process (S4), the random number counter shown in Table 3 below is incremented by 1 and updated. The updated counter value is stored in the updated value storage area of the RAM one by one. When the normal symbol / special symbol random number update process (S4) ends, the interrupt is permitted (S5), and the interrupt process (S6) can be executed.

  As the random number counter, the label-TRND-A, label-TRND-AZ, label-TRND-RC, label-TRND-T, label-TRND-B1, label-TRND-B2, label-TRND- shown in Table 3 are used. Counters such as B3 and label-TRND-H are provided.

  These random number counters are incremented by 1 when the random number update processing (S4, S11) is performed starting from 0 when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is powered on, and reach a predetermined upper limit value for each random number counter. Returning to 0, the addition from 0 is repeated again.

  If the upper limit of the reserved memory is not reached due to the passing of the game ball through the start gate 30, the counter value of the label -TRND-H is obtained from the random number counters shown in Table 3 above, and is stored in the RAM. Remember. Further, if the game ball is won at the center start port 31A, the side start port 32A, and the special start port 33A, the label -TRND- of the random number counters shown in Table 3 above if the upper limit of the reserved memory is not reached. Each counter value other than H (label-TRND-A, label-TRND-AZ, etc.) is acquired and stored in the RAM. Hereinafter, a plurality of counter values (label-TRND-A, label-TRND-AZ, etc.) acquired at the time of winning to the three start ports 31A, 32A, 33A are collected and appropriately referred to as “special symbol related counter values”. That's it.

  Here, in the random number storage area of the RAM, it is possible to store the acquired special symbol-related counter value and the counter value of the label-TRND-H up to a predetermined upper limit of holding. And each counter value (random number value) memorize | stored in the random-number storage area is used for a game in an order from an old thing. In addition, when winning is made to the three start ports 31A, 32A, 33A in a state where the reserved storage is at the upper limit, each counter value is not acquired and only the winning ball is paid out.

  The interrupt process (S6) is executed according to an interrupt pulse input at a cycle of 4 msec, for example. Then, during the remaining processing period from the end of the interrupt process (S6) to the start of the next interrupt process (S6), various counter values (see Table 3) by the normal symbol / special symbol random number update process (S4) ) Is repeatedly executed a plurality of times.

  The interrupt process (S6) will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, in the interrupt process (S6), first, a command process (S10) is performed. In the command processing (S10), various commands set in the output buffer of the RAM are output to the corresponding sub control device (for example, a display control device, a lamp control device, etc.).

  The normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing (S11) performed next is the same as the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update processing (S4) performed in the loop processing of the main program PG1 described above. In other words, the various counter values shown in Table 3 above are the execution period of the interrupt process (S6) and the remaining process period (after the end of the interrupt process (S6) until the next interrupt process (S6) is started. Period) both.

  Following the normal symbol / special symbol main random number update process (S11), the start winning a prize opening switch detection process (S12) is executed. In this process (S12), the above-mentioned special symbol related counter value is obtained on condition that the game ball passes to the start gate 30 and the game ball wins the center start port 31A, the side start port 32A, and the special start port 33A. Or the counter value of label-TRND-H is acquired and stored in the random number storage area of the RAM. By this process (S12), the above-described small hit / no-go determination right, first hit / no-go determination right, and second hit / no-go determination right are generated.

  As shown in FIG. 15, a normal operation process (S13) is performed after the start winning a prize opening switch detection process (S12). In this process (S13), the “small hit determination” is performed based on the normal symbol success / failure determination random number value (label-TRND-H) acquired (stored in the random number storage area of the RAM) under the condition that the start gate 30 is passed. At the same time, when the determination result is “small hit”, “small hit game” is executed.

  In the special operation process (S14) next to the normal operation process (S13), the first right / no-go judgment right (special symbol related counter value) generated by winning the center start port 31A or the side start port 32A and the special start port Based on the second right / no-go judgment right (special symbol related counter value) generated by winning 33A, various hits based on the first and second right / left judgment rights, etc. Process.

  In the special operation process (S14), as shown in FIG. 16, a process corresponding to the current “operation status” is performed. As the “operation status”, there are a “special figure 1 operation status” corresponding to the first success / failure determination right and a “special figure 2 operation status” corresponding to the second success / failure determination right. The status and the special figure 2 operation status change in accordance with the progress status of the game (determination notification effect, jackpot game, etc.) based on the first and second success / failure determination rights.

  The special figure 1 operation status and special figure 2 operation status are 9 levels from “0” to “8”, respectively, and both are “0” when the power is turned on. When the processing according to the current operation status is completed, The process is updated to the next operation status, and processing corresponding to the new operation status is started. Hereinafter, before explaining the special action process (S14) in detail, the relationship between the special figure 1 action status and the progress of the game based on the first right / no-go judgment right will be described. The relationship between the special figure 2 operation status and the progress of the game based on the second right / no-go judgment right is also the same.

  The special figure 1 operation status is updated from “0” to “1” when the first determination notification unit 15G starts the determination notification effect of the first right-and-left determination right (variation display of the determination symbol). In addition, when the determination notification effect is finished and the determination result of “displacement” is notified (disappearance determination symbol is stopped and displayed), “1” is updated to “2”, and the determination result of “win” is notified (winning (1) is updated from “1” to “3”. Also, the special figure 1 operation status is updated from “2” to “0” when the notification of the determination result of losing is finished, and from “3” to “4” when the notification of the winning determination result is finished. Updated. By updating the special figure 1 operation status from “2” to “0”, it becomes possible to start the next determination notification effect based on the first right / fail judgment right, and the special figure 1 operation status is “3”. By updating from “4” to “4”, it is possible to start a big hit game based on the first right / fail judgment right.

  When the special figure 1 operation status becomes “4”, processing necessary at the start of the jackpot game is executed, and when this processing is completed, the special figure 1 operation status is updated from “4” to “5”. As described above, the big hit game is composed of two rounds, and the operation status changes from “5” → “6” → “7” during one round. When all the rounds are completed, the special figure 1 operation status is updated from “7” to “8”. When the special figure 1 operation status becomes “8”, the necessary processing is executed at the end of the jackpot game. When this process is completed, the special figure 1 operation status is updated from “8” to “0”. Then, by returning the special figure 1 operation status to “0”, it becomes possible to start the next determination notification effect based on the first right / fail determination right.

  Based on the above points, the special operation process (S14) will be described in further detail. In the special operation process (S14), first, it is determined whether or not the big hit game is in progress (whether the first and second operation statuses are “4” to “8”) (S130). When it is in the middle (Yes in S130), an operation process (S131A or S131B) related to the big hit game is performed. Specifically, in the case of a big hit game based on the first success / failure determination right, the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) shown in FIG. In some cases, the special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) shown in FIG. 20 is performed. In the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A), a process corresponding to the special figure 1 operation status "4" to "8" is executed, and in the special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B), the special figure 2 operation status "4" is executed. Processing according to “8” is executed. The special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) and the special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) are not performed in parallel. The special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) and the special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) will be described later. The main control circuit when executing the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) or the special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) corresponds to the "hit game executing means" of the present invention.

  When the big hit game is not being played (No in S130), it is determined whether or not the special figure 2 operation status is "3" (when the winning determination result is notified) (S132). If the special figure 2 operation status is not “3” (No in S132), whether or not the special figure 1 operation timer (the remaining time of the determination notification effect based on the first right / no-go determination right) is “0”. If the special figure 1 operation timer is not “0” (No in S133), the special figure 1 operation timer is decremented by 1 (S134), and the special figure 1 operation timer is “0”. If there is (Yes in S133), the process jumps to step S134 to perform the special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135). At the time of starting the special figure 1 variable operation process (S135), the first special operation status is always "0" to "3". In the special figure 1 variable operation process (S135), the first special operation status is Processing according to the special operation status “0” to “3” is executed. In this process (S135), the special figure 1 operation status may be updated to any one of “1” to “4”. After exiting the special figure 1 variation operation process (S135), it is again determined whether or not the big hit game is being played (S136). When the big hit game is in progress (Yes in S136), specifically, when the special figure 1 operation status is updated from "3" to "4" in the immediately preceding special figure 1 variable action process (S135). Immediately exit the special operation process (S14).

  When the special figure 1 operation status is updated from “3” to “4” in the special figure 1 variable action process (S135) and the special action process (S14) is exited, the next special action process (S14) is started. Then, the processing of steps S132 to S140 is not performed, and the special figure 1 big hit operation processing (S131A) is repeatedly performed. Then, when the special figure 1 operation status is returned from "8" to "0" in the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A), the process after step S132 is performed again from the next special operation process (S14). It becomes like this.

  In step S132, when the special figure 2 operation status is not "3" (No in S132) (when the determination result of detachment is notified), or after the special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135), If the operation status is not “4” (No in S136), it is determined whether or not the special figure 1 operation status is “3” (S137). When the operation status of the special figure 1 is “3” (Yes in S137), this process (S14) is immediately exited. On the other hand, when the special figure 1 operation status is not “3” (No in S137), is the special figure 2 operation timer (remaining time of the determination notification effect based on the second right / no-go determination right) “0”? If the special figure 2 operation timer is not “0” (No in S138), the special figure 2 operation timer is decremented by 1 (S139), and the special figure 2 operation timer is “0”. ”(Yes in S139), the process jumps to step S139 to perform the special figure 2 fluctuation operation process (S140). At the time of starting the special figure 2 variable operation process (S140), the special figure 2 operation status is always "0" to "3". In the special figure 2 variable operation process (S140), the second special operation status is displayed. Processing according to “0” to “3” is executed. In this process (S140), the special figure 2 operation status may be updated to any one of “1” to “4”.

  Here, in the special figure 1 special operation process (S135), when the special figure 1 operation status is updated to "3", the process of steps S138 to S140 described above is jumped to the special operation process (S14). Exit. That is, when the special figure 1 operation status becomes “3” or more, the special figure 1 operation status “3” is subtracted (S139) and the special figure 2 fluctuation operation process (S140) is prohibited. The processes (S131A, S135) corresponding to “3” to “8” are repeatedly executed. As a result, in the state of the special figure 1 operation status “3”, the timing of the fluctuation time in FIG. 2 is stopped, and the next fluctuation is not performed, so the validity determination based on the second validity determination right is not performed. The special figure 2 operation status is prohibited from being "3". And while the jackpot game based on the first right / fail determination right is being performed, the determination notification effect based on the second right / left determination right is not executed, and the time of the determination notification effect being executed is interrupted. Become.

  In the special figure 2 special operation process (S140), when the special figure 2 operation status is updated to "3", the special figure 1 operation timer is subtracted from the next special operation process (S14) (S134). In the state where the special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135) is prohibited, the processes (S131B, S140) corresponding to the special figure 2 operation statuses "3" to "8" are repeatedly performed. Thereby, in the state of the special figure 2 operation status “3”, the time measurement of the fluctuation time of the special figure 1 is stopped, and the next fluctuation is not performed, so the validity determination based on the first right / fail determination right is not performed. Therefore, it is prohibited that the operation status of the special figure 1 becomes “3”. Then, while the big hit game based on the second right / wrong determination right is being performed, the determination notification effect based on the first right / fail determination right is not executed, and the time of the determination notification effect being executed is interrupted. Become.

  The special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135) is shown in FIG. In the special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135), the current special figure 1 operation status is checked (S150), and according to the special figure 1 operation status, the special figure 1 standby process (S151), the special figure 1 fluctuation process ( S152), special figure 1 losing confirmation process (S153), special figure 1 big hit confirmation process (S154) is performed.

  In FIG. 1 standby processing (S151), when there is a first right / fail determination right that is on hold, a big hit determination is performed using the first right / left determination right, and a determination result and determination notification effect setting are performed. Setting of initial value (execution period of determination notification effect) of special figure 1 operation timer is performed. In addition, before performing the big hit determination using the first right / wrong determination right, it is checked whether or not “big hit” has occurred in the big hit determination using the second right / left determination right. When the “hit” by the right / wrong judgment right has occurred first, the judgment result of “out” is forcibly notified without performing the big hit / hit determination of the first right / wrong judgment right (operation in FIG. 1). The status is set to “2”). When these processes are completed, the special figure 1 operation status is updated from “0” to “1”. The main control circuit when executing the special figure 1 standby process (S151) corresponds to the “first determination unit” of the present invention.

  In the special figure 1 variation processing (S152), the special figure 1 operation timer is checked every time, and when the special figure 1 operation timer becomes "0", the special figure 1 operation is performed according to the determination result of the big hit / fail judgment. The status is updated to “2” (in case of losing) or “3” (in case of big hit).

  In the special figure 1 deviation confirmation process (S153), the special figure 1 operation status is updated from "2" to "0". On the other hand, in the special figure 1 big hit determination process (S154), the special figure 1 operation status is updated from "3" to "4".

  The above is the description of the special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135), but the special figure 2 fluctuation operation process (S140) is performed in the same manner. That is, as shown in FIG. 18, in the special figure 2 variable operation process (S140), the current special figure 2 operation status is checked (S160), and the special figure 2 standby process (S161) is performed according to the special figure 2 operation status. The special figure 2 variation process (S162), the special figure 2 losing confirmation process (S163), and the special figure 2 big hit confirmation process (S164) are performed. Since these processes (S160 to S164) are the same as the processes (S150 to S154) executed in the special figure 1 fluctuation operation process (S135), the overlapping description is omitted. Note that the main control circuit when executing the special figure 2 standby process (S161) corresponds to the “second determination unit” of the present invention.

  The special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A) is shown in FIG. In the special figure 1 big hit action process, after performing the upper prize winning mouth process (S170), the current special figure 1 action status is checked (S171), and the special figure 1 big hit is started according to the special figure 1 action status. Processing (S172), special figure 1 big prize opening opening process (S173), special figure 1 big prize opening closing 1 process (S174), special figure 1 big prize opening closing 2 processing (S175), special figure 1 big hit end processing (S175) S176) is performed. In the upper prize winning mouth process (S170), settings are made regarding the opening time of the second attacker port 35A and the operation of the internal entry restricting member 36B (opening time of the V determination port 36A) in the big hit game.

  In the special figure 1 jackpot start process (S172), the opening effect performed at the start of the jackpot game and the overall jackpot game are set, and the operation status is updated from "4" to "5". In the special figure 1 big opening opening process (S173), processing related to the opening operation of the first attacker port 34A and the second attacker port 35A during the big hit game is performed, and the end condition of the round game (the specified opening period has ended) Or whether the prescribed number of game balls have won, and if the end condition is satisfied, the operation status is updated from “4” to “5”.

  In the special figure 1 grand prize closing 1 process (S174), the process for closing the first attacker port 34A or the second attacker port 34B is performed in accordance with the establishment of the end condition of the round game, and the operation status is set to “6”. To "7". In the special figure 1 winning prize closing 2 process (S175), it is determined whether or not the final round of the big hit game has ended, and when the final round ends, the operation status is updated from “7” to “8”. If an unexecuted round remains, the operation status is updated from “7” to “5”. In the special figure 1 jackpot ending process (S176), a process related to an ending effect performed at the end of the jackpot game, a flag reset, and the like are performed, and the operation status is updated from “8” to “0”.

  The special figure 2 big hit operation process (S131B) is shown in FIG. 20, and is performed in the same manner as the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A). That is, after performing the upper prize winning mouth process (S180), the current special figure 2 operation status is determined (S181), and in accordance with the special figure 2 operation status, the special figure 2 big hit start process (S182), 2 a special prize opening opening process (S183), a special figure 2 big prize opening closing 1 process (S184), a special figure 2 big prize opening closing 2 process (S185), and a special figure 1 big prize closing process (S186). Since these processes (S180 to S186) are the same as the processes (S170 to S176) executed in the special figure 1 big hit operation process (S131A), the overlapping description is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 15, after the special operation process (S14), the reserved ball number process (S15), the power-off monitoring process (S16), the fraud monitoring process (S17), and other processes (S18) are executed. Exit from the interrupt process (S6). The reserved ball number process (S15), the power-off monitoring process (S16), and other processes (S18) are not related to the present invention and will not be described. Hereinafter, the fraud monitoring process (S17) related to the present invention will be omitted. Explain in detail.

<Control flow of fraud monitoring process (S17)>
As shown in FIG. 21, in the fraud monitoring process (S17), the distribution device abnormality detection process (S30), the right start opening prize abnormality 1 process (S31), the right start opening prize abnormality 2 process (S32), and the right start opening A winning abnormality 3 process (S33), a right start opening winning abnormality 4 process (S34), and other processes (S35) are performed to detect an abnormal distribution of game balls, a winning abnormality, etc. in the right flow down region Rb.

  The sorting apparatus abnormality detection process (S30) is shown in FIG. In this process (S30), the above-described “abnormality detection using the first to third game ball detection sensors Z1 to Z3” is executed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, first, it is determined whether or not it is the start time of the right-handed game (specifically, the start time of the big hit game) (S40). If it is at the start of the right-handed game (Yes in S40), “20” is set as the initial value of the monitoring value A (S41).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the first game ball detection sensor Z1 has detected a game ball (whether or not the game ball has passed through the common trunk route 50) (S42), and if a game ball has been detected (Yes in S42) ), It is determined whether or not “monitor value A” is “0” (S43). When “monitor value A” is not “0” (No in S43), 1 is subtracted from monitor value A (S44).

  Next, it is determined whether the second game ball detection sensor Z2 has detected a game ball (whether the game ball has passed through the first guide flow path 61) (S45), and when a game ball has been detected (S45) Yes), it is determined whether or not “monitor value A” is “40” or more (S46). If “monitor value A” is not 40 or more (No in S46), “2” is added to “monitor value A”.

  Next, it is determined whether the third game ball detection sensor Z3 has detected a game ball (whether the game ball has passed through the second guide flow path 62) (S48), and when a game ball has been detected (S48) Is Yes), it is determined whether or not the “monitoring value A” is “40” or more (S49). If “monitor value A” is not equal to or greater than “40” (No in S49), “2” is added to “monitor value A” (S50), and then this process (S30) is exited.

  Here, in a state where the distribution member 53 is operating normally and the game balls are alternately distributed to the first trunk flow path 51 and the second trunk flow path 52 one by one, the first game ball Each time the detection sensor Z1 detects a game ball twice, either the second game ball detection sensor Z2 or the third game ball detection sensor Z3 detects the game ball once. That is, the monitoring value A is basically configured to be able to vary within a range of about “20 ± 5”.

  On the other hand, when the “monitoring value A” is “0” (Yes in S43), that is, the number of game balls distributed to the second basic flow path 52 is distributed to the first basic flow path 51. When there are more than “20 balls” or more than “40” or more than “40” (Yes in S46 or S49), that is, games distributed to the first main flow path 51 When the number of balls is more than “20 balls” more than the number of game balls distributed to the second trunk flow path 52, there is an abnormal distribution between the first trunk flow path 51 and the second trunk flow path 52. It is determined that (for example, an illegal act or failure with respect to the distribution member 53) has occurred, and abnormality notification is performed (S51).

  The right start opening winning abnormality 1 process (S31) is shown in FIG. In this process (S31), the above-described “abnormality detection using the second to fourth game ball detection sensors Z2 to Z4” is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 23, in the right start opening winning abnormality 1 process (S31), first, has the second game ball detection sensor Z2 detected a game ball (whether the game ball has passed through the first guide flow path 61)? ) Is determined (S52), and when a game ball is detected (Yes in S52), 1 is added to the base value B (S53). Next, it is determined whether the third game ball detection sensor Z3 has detected a game ball (whether the game ball has passed through the second guide flow path 62) (S54), and when a game ball has been detected (S54) 1), the base value B is incremented by 1 (S55). That is, the base value B is the sum of the number of detections by the second game ball detection sensor Z2 and the number of detections by the third game ball detection sensor Z3, and the number of game balls distributed to the first basic flow path 51 is It is a number.

  Next, the fourth game ball detection sensor determines whether Z4 has detected a game ball (has won the side start port 32A) (S56), and if a game ball has been detected (Yes in S56). The monitoring value B is incremented by 1 (S57).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the base value B is 500 or more (the number of game balls distributed to the first basic flow path 51 is 500 or more) (S58). Is less than 500 (No in S58), the process exits (S31). That is, the above-described steps S52 to S58 are repeated until the base value B reaches 500 or more.

  If the base value B is 500 or more (Yes in S58), it is determined whether or not the monitored value B at that time is less than 12 (the number of winnings to the side start port 32A is less than 12 balls) (S59). ). When the monitored value B is 12 or more (the number of winnings to the side start port 32A is 12 balls or more) (No in S59), it is determined that the necessary minimum winning frequency for the side start port 32A is secured. Then, both the base value B and the monitoring value B are reset to “0” (S66), and then this process (S31) is exited.

  On the other hand, if the monitored value B is less than 12 (the number of winnings at the side start port 32A is less than 12 balls) (Yes in S59), there is an abnormality (the frequency of winning at the side start port 32A is too low). The limit value B (initial value “6”) is decremented by 1 (S60), and it is determined whether the limit value B after subtraction has become “0” (S61). When the limit value B after subtraction is “0” (Yes in S61), that is, when the number of times determined to be abnormal reaches “6 times” in total, an abnormality notification is performed, for example, Then, the launching device is stopped so that the game cannot be continued (S62). Thereafter, the limit value B is reset to the initial value “6” (S63), the base value B and the monitoring value B are reset to “0” (S66), and the process (S31) is exited.

  When the limit value B after subtraction is not “0” (No in S61), it is determined whether the limit value B is “3” or less (S64). When the limit value B is “3” or less (Yes in S64), that is, when the total number of times determined to be abnormal is 3 times or more and less than 6 times, only abnormality notification is performed (S65). Then, the base value B and the monitoring value B are reset to “0” (S66), and then the process (S31) is exited.

  Further, when the limit value B is not “3” or less (No in S64), that is, when the total number of times determined to be abnormal is two or less in total, the base value is not provided without performing abnormality notification. B and the monitoring value B are reset to “0” (S66), and the process exits (S31).

  That is, in this process (S31), an abnormality determination is performed every time 500 game balls are distributed to the first basic flow path 51, and when the 500 balls are distributed, 12 or more balls are not won in the side start port 32A. In the case, it is determined that there is an abnormality. If the total number of times determined to be abnormal exceeds two times, an abnormality notification is performed, and if it exceeds five times, the game cannot be continued in addition to the abnormality notification.

  The right start opening prize abnormality 2 process (S32) is shown in FIG. In this process (S32), the above-described "abnormality detection using the second to fourth game ball detection sensors" is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 24, in the right start opening prize abnormality 2 process (S32), first, has the second game ball detection sensor Z2 detected a game ball (whether the game ball has passed the first guide flow path 61)? ) Is determined (S70), and when a game ball is detected (Yes in S70), 1 is added to the base value C (S71). Next, it is determined whether the third game ball detection sensor Z3 has detected a game ball (whether the game ball has passed through the second guide flow path 62) (S72), and when a game ball has been detected (S72) In Yes), 1 is added to the base value C (S73). That is, the base value C is the total of the number of detections by the second game ball detection sensor Z2 and the number of detections by the third game ball detection sensor Z3, and the number of game balls distributed to the first basic flow path 51 is Is a number.

  Next, the fourth game ball detection sensor determines whether Z4 has detected a game ball (has won the side start port 32A) (S74), and if no game ball has been detected (No in S74). Then, it is determined whether or not the base value C is 500 or more (the number of game balls distributed to the first basic flow path 51 is 500 or more) (S78). If the radix value C is less than 500 (No in S78), this process (S32) is directly exited. On the other hand, if the radix value C is 500 or more (Yes in S78), the radix value C and the monitoring value C are reset to “0” (S79), and the process (S32) is exited.

  When the fourth game ball detection sensor detects a game ball by Z4 (wins in the side start port 32A) (Yes in S74), 1 is added to the monitor value C (S75), and the monitor value C after the addition is It is determined whether or not “100” is exceeded (S76). If the monitoring value C does not exceed “100” (No in S76), the process jumps to step S78 to determine whether or not the base value C is 500 or more. On the other hand, when the monitoring value C exceeds “100” (Yes in S76), an abnormality notification is immediately performed (S77).

  In other words, if the number of game balls that have won in the side start opening 32A exceeds 100 before the number of game balls that have passed through the first basic flow path 51 reaches 500, a prize is awarded to the side start opening 32A. If the frequency is too high, it is determined that there is an abnormality.

  The right start opening prize abnormality 3 process (S33) is shown in FIG. In this process (S33), the above-described "abnormality detection using the second and fourth game ball detection sensors Z2, Z4" is executed.

  In the right starting port winning abnormality 3 process (S33), first, it is determined whether or not the fourth gaming ball detection sensor Z4 has detected a gaming ball (whether the side starting port 32A has been won) (S80). Is detected (Yes in S80), it is determined whether or not the monitoring value D is less than "15" (S81).

  If the monitoring value D is not less than “15” (No in S81), the process proceeds to step S83. If the monitoring value D is less than “15” (Yes in S81), 1 is added to the monitoring value D1. The process proceeds from (S82) to step S83.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the second game ball detection sensor Z2 has detected a game ball (a game ball has entered the first guide flow path 61) (S83), and no game ball has been detected. (No in S83) exits this process (S33).

  When the second game ball detection sensor Z2 detects a game ball (Yes in S83), 1 is subtracted from the monitor value D (S84), and then the monitor value D after subtraction is “0” or not. Is determined (S85). When the monitoring value D after subtraction is “0” (Yes in S85), that is, the detection of the game ball by the fourth game ball detection sensor Z4 from the number of detection of the game ball by the second game ball detection sensor Z2. When the value obtained by subtracting the number of times becomes a predetermined value (for example, “15”), an abnormality is notified and, for example, the launching device is stopped so that the game cannot be continued (S86). After that, the monitoring value D is reset to the initial value “15” (S87), and then this process (S33) is exited.

  If the monitored value D after subtraction is not “0” (No in S85), whether or not the monitored value D is “5” or less, that is, detection of a gaming ball by the second gaming ball detection sensor Z2. When the value obtained by subtracting the number of times of detection of the game ball by the fourth game ball detection sensor Z4 from the number of times becomes “10” or more, only abnormality notification is performed (S89), and this process (S33) is exited.

  The right start opening prize abnormality 4 process (S34) is shown in FIG. This process (S34) is the above-described "abnormality determination based on whether or not the big hit determination is performed" (abnormality determination due to the start of fluctuation). The main control circuit when the right start opening prize abnormality 4 process (S34) is performed corresponds to the “abnormality detection means” of the present invention.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, in the right start opening prize abnormality 4 process (S34), first, at the start of the determination notification effect based on the second right / wrong determination right (the special figure 2 operation status is “0”). It is determined whether or not (S90). If it is not at the start of the determination notification effect (No in S90), this process (S34) is exited.

  On the other hand, if it is at the start of the determination notification effect based on the second right / fail determination right (Yes in S90), whether or not the first determination notification unit 15G is in a standby state, that is, the operation status of FIG. It is determined whether or not it is “0” (S91), and when the operation status of FIG. 1 is not “0” (No in S91), that is, the determination notification effect or determination result based on the first right / no-fail determination right When the notification is being executed, the above-described monitoring value E as the “first counter” is reset to “0” (S95), and the process (S34) is exited.

  On the other hand, when the first determination notification unit 15G is in the standby state (Yes in S91), the monitoring value E is incremented by 1 (S92), and whether or not the added monitoring value E is “100” or more. Is determined (S93). When the monitoring value E is not “100” or more (No in S93), the monitoring value E is left as it is, and the process (S34) is exited. On the other hand, when the monitoring value E is “100” or more (Yes in S93), that is, the determination result effect based on the first determination result is not performed at all, and the second determination result is determined. If the determination notification effect based on is repeated 100 times, it is determined that there is an abnormality (the occurrence frequency of the first right / fail determination right is too low), and an abnormality notification is made (S94). Thereafter, the monitoring value E is reset to “0” (S95), and this process (S34) is exited. The main control circuit when executing the process of step S94 corresponds to the “abnormality notification means” of the present invention.

[First Embodiment]
In the first embodiment of the present invention, the right start opening prize abnormality 4 process (S34a) shown in FIG. 28 is different from the right start opening prize abnormality 4 process (S34) of the reference example. In other words, in the right start opening winning abnormality 4 process (S34a) of the present embodiment, the “hit game” of the second success / failure determination right is started in a state where the determination / notification effect of the first right / failure determination right is not performed. And a second counter that resets the count when the second jackpot determination game “big hit game” is executed during the execution of the determination notification effect of the first determination flag. When the count number of the two counters exceeds a predetermined second allowable number, it is determined that there is an abnormality, and an abnormality notification is performed. That is, it is determined that there is an abnormality when the first hit / no-judgment determination notification effect is never performed and the second hit / no-judgment right jackpot determination is repeated more than the second allowable number of times. To do.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28, first, it is determined whether or not the jackpot game based on the second right / fail judgment right is started (when switching from the special figure 2 operation status “3” to “4”). Determine (S90a). If it is not at the start of the big hit game (No in S90a), this process (S34) is immediately exited.

  On the other hand, when the jackpot game based on the second right / fail judgment right is started (Yes in S90a), it is determined whether the determination notification effect based on the first right / fail judgment right is being performed, that is, the operation of FIG. It is determined whether or not the status is “1” (S91a). When the determination notification effect is being performed (Yes in S91a), the monitoring value E as the “second counter” is reset to “0”. (S95), this process (S34) is exited.

  On the other hand, if the first determination notification unit 15G is not in the determination notification effect (No in S91a), 1 is added to the monitoring value E (S92), and is the monitoring value E after the addition equal to or greater than “10”? It is determined whether or not (S93a). When the monitoring value E is not “10” or more (No in S93a), the monitoring value E is left as it is, and the process (S34a) is exited. On the other hand, when the monitored value E is “10” or more (exceeds 9 times corresponding to the “second allowable number” of the present invention) (Yes in S93a), there is an abnormality (first It is determined that the occurrence frequency of the right / wrong determination right is too low), and abnormality notification is performed. Thereafter, the monitoring value E is reset to “0” (S92), and the process (S34a) is exited. Even with the configuration of the present embodiment, the same effects as the above-described reference example can be obtained.

However, these additions and subtractions may be reversed.

  (2) The game ball passing through the second trunk flow path 52 is detected by the fifth game ball detection sensor, and the monitor value A is subtracted by “1” every time the common trunk path 50 is passed ( Or every time the first main flow path 51 is passed, the monitoring value A is incremented (or subtracted) by “1”, and every time the second guided flow path 52 is passed, the monitoring value A is incremented by “1”. You may make it add (or subtract).

  (3) In the embodiment and the reference example described above, the number of times that the determination notification effect of the second success / failure determination right or the big hit game is started in a state where the determination / notification effect of the first right / failure determination right is not executed is the first. Counted by the counter or the second counter, but counts the number of times that the big hit / hit determination right judgment notification effect (or big hit game) is started in a state where the small hit effect of the big hit / fail judgment right is not executed. And the count number is reset every time the determination notification effect (or jackpot game) of the big hit / hit determination right is started during the execution of the small determination effect, and the count number is set to a preset allowable number of times. It may be configured to determine that there is an abnormality when exceeding.
