(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as “pachinko machine”), which is a type of gaming machine, will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko machine 10, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are perspective views showing an unfolded main configuration of the pachinko machine 10. In FIG. 2, the configuration in the game area PE of the pachinko machine 10 is omitted for convenience.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko machine 10 includes an outer frame 11 that forms an outer shell of the pachinko machine 10, and a gaming machine body 12 that is rotatably attached to the outer frame 11. . The outer frame 11 is configured by connecting a wooden plate or the like to four sides and has a rectangular frame shape. The pachinko machine 10 is installed in the game hall by attaching and fixing the outer frame 11 to the island facility.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the gaming machine main body 12 includes an inner frame 13, a front door frame 14 disposed in front of the inner frame 13, and a back pack unit 15 disposed behind the inner frame 13. ing. The inner frame 13 of the gaming machine main body 12 is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the outer frame 11. Specifically, the inner frame 13 can be rotated forward with the left side as a rotation base end side and the right side as a rotation front end side in front view. In this specification, “front” refers to the “direction approaching the player with respect to the gaming machine”, and “rear” refers to the “direction away from the player with respect to the gaming machine”.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the front door frame 14 is rotatably supported on the inner frame 13, and can be rotated forward with the left side as a rotation base end side and the right side as a rotation front end side in a front view. It is said that. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a backpack unit 15 is rotatably supported on the inner frame 13, and when viewed from the front, the left side is the rotation base end side and the right side is the rotation front end side. It is possible to move. As shown in FIG. 3, the gaming machine main body 12 is provided with a locking device 16 at its rotating tip, and the gaming machine main body 12 is locked to the outer frame 11 so that it cannot be opened. And has a function of locking the front door frame 14 to the inner frame 13 so that the front door frame 14 cannot be opened. Each of these locked states is released by performing an unlocking operation on the cylinder lock 17 (see FIG. 1) provided exposed on the front surface of the pachinko machine 10 using an unlocking key.

  Here, in the first embodiment, the second embodiment described later, the third embodiment described later, and each modification described later, the distribution unit of the present invention is used as a “fraud prevention device (fraud prevention unit)”. . That is, in a pachinko machine, a player generally obtains a prize ball by winning a game ball flowing down the game area into a predetermined winning slot, or obtains a lottery opportunity together with the prize ball. However, fraudulent acts such as acquiring an unfair prize ball or unfairly winning a lottery by making the speed at which the game balls flow down the game area faster or slower than the regular game balls. May be performed. For example, a low-viscosity oil (for example, lubricating oil, salad oil, etc.) is attached to a game ball (hereinafter, such illegal balls are referred to as oil balls), and friction against a nail (obstruction nail) of a game ball flowing down the game area, etc. By increasing the ball speed of the game ball, etc., increasing the winning efficiency (winning probability) to the predetermined winning mouth, winning illegal balls, or illegally winning lottery opportunities Actions (hereinafter referred to as oil ball goto) have been reported. In particular, when a variable winning device having a so-called “special area” is provided and the game ball reaches the “special area” within a time limit after the variable winning apparatus is opened, a predetermined profit (open / close execution mode) In a gaming machine that can obtain a benefit of transition, a benefit of transition to a high probability mode after the opening / closing execution mode ends, etc., it is easy to be targeted by this oil ball goto. In other words, when the variable winning device is in the open state, the game ball with oil attached thereto is fired by the launching means, and the game ball may reach the variable winning device as soon as possible to try to obtain an unfair advantage. For this reason, based on the electrical resistance of the game ball, a game machine that detects that oil has been attached (applied) to the game ball has been proposed (see, for example, JP 2009-279267 A).

  However, it is desired to improve fraud countermeasures against oil ball goto than the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-279267. For example, even if oil content is applied to the game ball, if the viscosity of the oil content is low, the game ball will directly touch the electrode, so the electrical resistance is measured to the extent that it is identified as if no oil content is attached. There is a possibility that. That is, the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-279267 only discloses a technique in which it is difficult to prevent oil ball goto even though the structure is complicated by providing electrodes on a plate member or the like. Absent. In this way, it is possible to sort out an illegal game ball such as an oil ball and a regular game ball (a game ball that has not been subjected to a process for intentionally changing the speed of flowing down the game area). Although difficult, there is an urgent need for anti-fraud measures to remove only the illegal game balls without causing any adverse effects on the legitimate game balls.

  On the other hand, in the first embodiment, the second embodiment to be described later, the third embodiment to be described later, and each modification to be described later, an illegal game subjected to processing for increasing the speed of flowing down the game area. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can improve countermeasures against fraud against a ball (details will be described later). A game ball lent to a player from a pachinko hall or a game ball pre-encapsulated in a so-called “enclosed game machine” is referred to as a regular (legitimate) game ball. This legitimate (legitimate) game ball is a game ball that has not been subjected to a process for changing the speed of flowing down the game area. Further, for convenience of explanation in the present specification, the following definitions are made according to the type of oil using the “oil ball” and “oil ball goto”. In other words, an oil ball that is applied or painted with a low-viscosity oil component (for example, a smooth oil component) and that flows faster in the game area than the regular ball is referred to as a first type oil ball. The “oil ball goto” using the first type oil ball is referred to as “first type oil ball goto”. An oil ball that is coated or coated with a high-viscosity oil component (for example, a sticky oil component) and that flows slower in the game area than the regular ball is referred to as a second type oil ball. The “oil ball goto” using the second type oil ball is referred to as “second type oil ball goto”.

  Next, the configuration of the front side of the gaming machine body 12 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the inner frame 13 is mainly composed of a resin base 21 whose outer shape is substantially the same as that of the outer frame 11. A substantially elliptical window hole 23 is formed at the center of the resin base 21. A game board 24 is detachably attached to the resin base 21. The game board 24 is made of plywood, and the game area PE formed on the front surface of the game board 24 is exposed to the front side of the inner frame 13 through the window hole 23 of the resin base 21.

  Here, the structure of the game board 24 is demonstrated based on FIG. The game board 24 is formed with a plurality of large and small openings penetrating in the front-rear direction by being subjected to router processing. Each opening has a general winning port 31, a variable winning device 32, an upper operating port (first starting ball entering portion or non-priority starting entering ball portion) 33, and a lower operating port (second starting ball entering portion or priority starting ball). Section) 34, variable display unit 36, fraud prevention device 50 (distribution means), passage selection mechanism 51, main display section 43, and the like. Unlike the first embodiment, the pachinko machine in which the lower working port 34 includes an electric accessory includes a through gate 35 in the game board 24 (see the second embodiment).

  On the back side of the game board 24, detection sensors (not shown) are provided in correspondence with the general winning port 31, the variable winning device 32, the upper operating port 33, and the lower operating port 34. When a ball enters the variable winning device 32, the upper operating port 33, and the lower operating port 34, it is detected by a corresponding detection sensor, and a predetermined number of award balls are paid out based on the detection result. . In this case, 10 game balls are paid out when the general winning opening 31 is entered, and 15 game balls are paid out when the variable winning device 32 is entered. Is executed, three game balls are paid out when a ball enters the upper working port 33, and four game balls are paid out when a ball enters the lower working port 34. Is executed.

  The number of game balls to be paid out is not limited to the above. However, in order to increase the advantage of the lower working port 34 with respect to the upper working port 33, it is preferable to set the number of payouts related to the lower working port 34 larger than the number of payouts related to the upper working port 33. Further, in order to increase the advantage of the variable winning device 32 with respect to each operating port 33, 34, it is preferable to set the payout number related to the variable winning device 32 larger than the payout number related to each operating port 33, 34. Furthermore, the upper operating port 33, the lower operating port 34, and the general winning port 31 are all opened upward.

  In addition, an out port 37 is provided at the lowermost part of the game board 24, and game balls that have not entered various winning ports etc. are discharged from the game area PE through the out port 37. The game board 24 is provided with a large number of nails 38 in order to disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game ball as appropriate, and various members (functions) such as a windmill.

  Here, the entry means that the game ball passes through a predetermined opening, and not only the mode of discharging from the game area PE after passing through the opening, but also the game area PE after passing through the opening. The aspect which is not discharged | emitted from is also included. However, in the following description, in order to clearly distinguish the game ball from entering the out port 37, the game ball entering the variable winning device 32, the upper operating port 33, and the lower operating port 34 is referred to as winning. Express. Note that, in the pachinko machine 10B having the through gate 35 as in the pachinko machine 10B of the second embodiment described later, a game ball entering the through gate 35 is also expressed as a win.

  The passage selection mechanism 51 receives a game ball flowing down the game board 24, and then distributes the destination of the game ball to the lower operation port 34 to a passage having a high possibility of winning or a passage having a low possibility of winning (as a destination, The lower working port 34 selects a passage having a high winning possibility or a passage having a low winning possibility). As shown in FIG. 6, the passage selection mechanism 51 flows into the receiving member 51b, the first passage pipe 51c, the second passage pipe 51d, and the second passage pipe 51d provided on the surface of the game board 24. A cron 51e that can receive a game ball and a third passage pipe 51g that communicates with an outlet 51f provided in the center of the cron 51e. Among these, the terminal part of the 3rd channel | path pipe | tube 51g has joined the intermediate part of the 1st channel | path pipe | tube 51c. The terminal portion of the first passage pipe 51c is exposed to the front side of the game board 24 as a discharge port 51t, and the game ball can be released substantially vertically downward on the front side of the game board 24. Since the lower operation port 34 is disposed substantially vertically below the discharge port 51t, a game ball released from the terminal portion of the first passage pipe 51c wins the lower operation port 34 with a high probability.

  A back structure 51H constituting the passage selection mechanism 51, that is, a portion excluding a terminal end portion (discharge port 51t) of the first passage pipe 51c, a second passage pipe 51d, a third passage pipe 51g, and a crune 51e; Three fourth passage pipes 51x, which will be described later, are arranged on the back side of the game board 24, and the game board 24 is transparent (for example, made of a transparent resin). The back structure 51H is visible through the board 24. However, it is not always necessary to make the entire game board 24 transparent, and it is sufficient that at least the front side of the back structure 51H in the game board 24 is transparent.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the receiving member 51b includes a substantially case-shaped member body 51j that opens upward, a selection member 51m that can swing left and right (front view) with respect to the shaft member 51k, and a selection member 51m. A weight 51n mounted (embedded) on the right end side (front view). A partition 51p is provided near the opening of the member main body 51j. Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, the game ball entering the receiving member 51b from the left direction through the opening of the receiving member 51b can reach the left side of the receiving member 51b, that is, the left end side of the selection member 51m. The nature is getting higher. Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, there is a high possibility that the game ball entering the receiving member 51b from the right direction reaches the right side of the receiving member 51b, that is, the right end side of the selection member 51m.

  When the selection member 51m is inclined downward to the left, a portion located behind the left end of the selection member 51m is provided with a first entrance 51s, and the first entrance 51s includes a first passage pipe 51c. The starting end is in communication. In addition, when the selection member 51m is in the downward-right-tilting posture, a second advancement inlet 51r is provided at a portion located behind the right end of the selection member 51m, and the second advancement pipe 51d is provided at the second advancement entrance 51r. The leading end of is in communication. However, since the weight 51n is provided on the left end side (front view) of the selection member 51m, it is easy to assume a right downward inclined posture.

  For this reason, in the game area PE, when a game ball flowing down a portion on the right side of the center frame 42 to be described later (hereinafter referred to as a right-handed area R) enters the receiving member 51b, the right end of the selection member 51m is highly likely. Therefore, the possibility of entering the second passage pipe 51d through the second entrance 51r is high. On the other hand, in the game area PE, when a game ball flowing down a left part of the center frame 42 (hereinafter referred to as a left-handed area L), which will be described later, enters the receiving member 51b, the left end side of the selection member 51m with high probability. To reach. In this case, the posture of the selection member 51m tends to change from the right downward inclination posture to the left downward inclination posture with the weight of the game ball falling to the left end side, but a weight 51n is embedded on the right end side of the selection member 51m. Therefore, the selection member 51m is in the left downward inclination posture, and the game ball enters the first passage pipe 51c through the first entrance 51s, and the selection member 51m remains in the left downward inclination posture, and the game ball enters the second entrance. A case of entering the second passage pipe 51d through the mouth 51r occurs at a half rate.

  As shown to Fig.8 (a), the crone 51e is provided with a substantially mortar shape, and is equipped with the outflow port 51f in the lowest part. In addition, the game ball that has entered the second passage pipe 51d through the second entrance 51s is released along the circumferential direction into the clown 51e. Then, the released game ball rolls along a path (substantially spiral path) that descends while circling in the crone 51e. At this time, since a plurality of (three) holes 51p are provided on this route, the game balls that have entered any of the holes 51p use the fourth passage pipes 51x connected to the respective 51p to play a pachinko machine. 10 is guided outside (only one of the three 51p is shown in FIG. 6). Of the game balls released into the crone 51e, those that have not reached the hole 51p and have reached the outlet 51f enter the first passage pipe 51c through the third passage pipe 51g. Moreover, the probability of reaching the outflow port 51f among the game balls released into the crune 51e is low (for example, 1/5).

  Returning to FIG. 5, the variable winning device 32 is provided obliquely to the lower right of the center frame 42 and includes a large winning port 32 a that leads to the back side of the game board 24. An open / close door 32b that opens and closes is provided. The open / close door 32b is connected to a drive unit such as a solenoid provided on the back side of the game board 24, and is normally in a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won or is difficult to win. The game ball can be switched to a predetermined open state in which it is easy for a prize to be won when a shift to (open / close execution state) is won. Here, the opening / closing execution mode is a mode to be shifted to when a big win is won. The opening / closing execution mode will be described in detail later. As an opening mode of the variable winning device 32, the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly opened with a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winnings as one round and a plurality of rounds (for example, 15 rounds) as an upper limit. There is an embodiment.

  The main display unit 43 is provided on the decorative member 39 disposed along the outer edge on the lower side of the game area PE. The decorative member 39 extends from the board surface of the game board 24 to the front of the pachinko machine 10. More specifically, the front surface of the decorative member 39 faces the window panel 62 provided on the front door frame 14 so that the game area PE can be viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10. The distance between is smaller than one game ball. This prevents the game ball from falling in front of the front surface of the decorative member 39.

  A main display portion 43 is provided so as to be exposed from the front surface of the decorative member 39. That is, the main display unit 43 is visible from the front of the pachinko machine 10 through the window panel 62 of the front door frame 14, and the game ball is prevented from falling in front of the main display unit 43. In addition, in the pachinko machine provided with the electric accessory in the lower working port 34, the result of the internal lottery based on the winning display to the through gate 35 corresponds to the transition to the electric character open state through the window panel 62. It is good also as visual recognition of the display part for an accessory which displays whether it is a winning result. For example, an accessory display section may be provided on the decorative member 39 (see FIG. 35).

  In the main display section 43, when the variable winning device 32 enters the opening / closing execution mode (or when the opening / closing execution mode is set) by winning the big win, the big winning opening 32a of the variable winning device 32 in the opening / closing execution mode is displayed. The round display part RS for clearly indicating the number of times of opening, the first result display part AS for clearly indicating the result of the internal lottery performed based on the winning to the upper operating opening 33, and the lower operating opening 34 A second result display section BS is set for clearly indicating the result of the internal lottery performed based on the winning. In the round display section RS, the display of the number of times of opening is started when the opening / closing execution mode is started, and the display is ended when the opening / closing execution mode is ended.

  In the first result display section AS, a variation display of the picture is performed with a winning at the upper working port 33 as a trigger, and as a result of stopping the variation display, an internal lottery performed based on the winning at the upper working port 33 is performed. The result is clearly indicated by the display. When the result of the internal lottery based on the winning to the upper working port 33 is a winning result corresponding to the shift to the opening / closing execution mode, a predetermined stop result is displayed on the first result display section AS and displayed in a variable manner. After is stopped, the mode shifts to the opening / closing execution mode.

  In the second result display section BS, the variation display of the picture is performed with the winning to the lower operation port 34 as a trigger, and as a result of stopping the variation display, the internal lottery performed based on the winning to the lower operation port 34 is performed. The result is clearly indicated by the display. When the result of the internal lottery based on the winning to the lower working port 34 is a winning result corresponding to the shift to the opening / closing execution mode, a predetermined stop result is displayed on the second result display unit BS and displayed in a variable manner. After is stopped, the mode shifts to the opening / closing execution mode.

  Here, on the basis of winning in one of the operation ports 33, 34, the variable display is started in the corresponding result display sections AS, BS, until a predetermined stop result is displayed and the above variable display is stopped. It corresponds to one game time. However, the number of game times is not limited to the above-mentioned contents. For example, a single result display unit is provided, and even if any one of the operation ports 33 and 34 is won, the single game display is provided. In the configuration in which the variable display is performed in the result display unit, the variable display is started in the single result display unit, and the above-mentioned variable display is stopped in a state where the predetermined stop result is displayed. 1 time. In addition, although the main display part 43 is comprised by the segment display apparatus which has a some segment, it is not limited to this, You may use other display apparatuses, such as a liquid crystal display device.

  The variable display unit 36 is provided with a symbol display device 41 that performs variable display (or variable display or switching display) of symbols. The variable display unit 36 is provided with a center frame 42 so as to surround the symbol display device 41. The center frame 42 has an upper portion extending forward of the pachinko machine 10.

In addition, the structure etc. by which each holding | maintenance lamp | ramp parts 45-46 are displayed by a part of symbol display apparatus 41 may be sufficient.

  The fraud prevention device 50 is a specific example of “distribution means”, and out of the game balls flowing down the game area PE, the destination of what is taken into the fraud prevention device 50 is the normal passage NR or the special passage SR. It is for sorting. Moreover, in 1st Embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the fraud prevention apparatus 50 is arrange | positioned at the lower left side (front view) of the center frame 42. As shown in FIG. However, the fraud prevention device 50 can be arranged on the lower right side (front view) of the center frame 42 or on the left and right of the center frame 42. In the present embodiment, the electric accessory is used as the fraud prevention device 50, but a so-called “non-electric accessory” can also be used.

  The fraud prevention device 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8B, 9 and 10. The fraud prevention device 50 is a bridge-shaped electric accessory, and is introduced into the fraud prevention device 50, a cover body 52a disposed in front of the board surface of the game board 24, a base member 52b disposed behind the cover body 52a. A passage portion 52c through which the played game ball passes.

  The upper surface of the passage portion 52c is slightly inclined downward from the left end toward the right end (front view). Further, the right end of the passage portion 52c is a recess 52h that is recessed in a step shape as compared with other portions, and a discharge sensor 211f is provided in the recess 52h to detect a game ball that has passed through the recess 52h (see FIG. 11). ). Further, the game ball guided to the recess 52 h is discharged out of the pachinko machine 10. For example, it is good also as providing the downward inclination which goes to the back of the pachinko machine 10 in the recessed part 52h, and returning the game ball induced | guided | derived to the recessed part 52h to island equipment. In addition, the front surface of the recess 52h is in an open state, and the recess 52h is provided with a downward slope toward the front of the pachinko machine 10, whereby the game ball guided to the recess 52h is temporarily returned to the game area 24, and the game area The game ball returned to 24 may be discharged from the pachinko machine 10 through the out port 37 without entering any ball entrance (winning port, operation port). Or, each time one game ball is guided to the recess 52h, one game ball may be paid out as a prize ball. Note that a game ball can pass through a space between the cover body 52a and the board surface of the game board 24 and located below the passage portion 52c. For this reason, game balls that have not been introduced into the fraud prevention device 50 can pass through. In addition, a warning (by sound, light, etc.) may be given every time it is guided to the recess 52h, or a warning (by sound, light, etc.) may be given when the frequency of being guided to the recess 52h is more than a certain level. (Described later).

  An opening 52j is provided at a position near the right end of the passage 52c, and the opening 52j is opened and closed by a shutter 52k. Further, in the passage portion 52c, the introduction passage 52p is constituted by a portion on the left side of the opening 52j. Further, an electric accessory driving unit 34b is disposed behind the opening 52j, and drives a shutter 52k connected to the electric accessory driving unit 34b (see FIG. 11). In the first embodiment, a solenoid is used as the electric accessory driving unit 34b. However, other actuators such as a motor may be used. The introduction of the game ball into the fraud prevention device 50 from the entrance 52y of the fraud prevention device 50 can be detected by the detection sensor 211g provided at the entrance 52y. Further, the distance X (see FIG. 8) from the entrance 52y (center position) to the opening 52j (left edge) is predetermined if the speed of the game ball passing through the passage 52c is appropriate (below a predetermined speed). It is a distance that requires time (1.5 seconds in this embodiment), and if the speed is inappropriate (speed exceeding a predetermined speed), it is less than the predetermined time. If the speed is not appropriate, the vehicle passes over the opening 52j (on the opening 52j closed by the shutter 52k) and reaches a normal passage NR, which will be described later, before a predetermined time elapses. The opening 52j and the shutter 52k constitute a specific example of the sorting main body, and the electric accessory driving part 34b constitutes a specific example of the driving means. Further, a specific example of the drive control means is constituted by a main control device 81 to be described later.

  Next, functions of the fraud prevention apparatus 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. The game ball introduced into the introduction passage 52p through the entrance 52y rolls in the direction of the shutter 52k (opening 52j) using the downward slope of the introduction passage 52p. When a legitimate game ball (a game ball other than the first type oil ball) is about to reach the opening 52j, the speed of the game ball is equal to or lower than a predetermined speed, so that the predetermined time (first embodiment) Then, the game ball does not reach the opening 52j before 1.5 seconds elapses). That is, since a predetermined time (1.5 seconds is exemplified in the first embodiment) passes until the game ball reaches the opening 52j, the shutter 52k has already opened the opening 52j and introduced through the opening 52j. The passage 52p and the special passage SR communicate with each other. Therefore, it is possible to guide the game ball rolling in the introduction passage 52p to the special passage SR. As shown in FIG. 5, the special passage of the first embodiment is not limited to “special passage SR in fraud prevention device 50”, but also “special passage SR in fraud prevention device 50” and “fraud prevention device 50. It is comprised by the outside special channel | path A1 "(refer FIG. 5). That is, the game is constituted by the “special passage SR in the fraud prevention device 50” communicated with the opening 52j and the “special passage A1 outside the fraud prevention device 50” constituted by the guide nails 38b on the surface of the game board 24. The sphere can be guided to the receiving member 51b and thus to the lower working port. However, the special passage may be configured only by “a special passage outside the fraud prevention device 50”. For example, the game ball may be guided directly from the opening 52j to the “special passage A1 outside the fraud prevention device 50”. The same applies to the normal passage described later, and the normal passage may be constituted by “a normal passage NR in the fraud prevention device 50” and “a normal passage outside the fraud prevention device 50”, or by a shutter 52k. The game ball that has passed through the closed opening 52j may be guided directly to the “normal passage outside the fraud prevention device 50”.

  On the other hand, if the game ball introduced into the introduction passage 52p is the first type oil ball, the speed of the game ball exceeds a predetermined speed, and thus a predetermined time (1.5 seconds is exemplified in the first embodiment) elapses. Before playing (before the electric accessory driving unit 51d is driven), the game ball passes over the shutter 52k that closes the opening 52j. That is, if the game ball is the first type oil ball, the speed of the game ball exceeds a predetermined speed. Therefore, the game ball passes through the shutter 52k (opening 52j) for a predetermined time (1 in the first embodiment). E.g. 5 seconds). Thus, when a predetermined time elapses after passing through the shutter 52k (opening 52j), it is guided to the normal path NR and can be made an out-ball (because it is not guided to the special path SR), the first The seed oil ball goto can be eliminated.

  If it demonstrates further using FIG. 5, the inner rail part 5A and the outer rail part 5B are attached to the game board 24, and the guide rail 5E is comprised by these inner rail part 5A and the outer rail part 5B, A game ball launched from the game ball launching mechanism 7A is guided to the upper part of the game area PE.

In addition, the jackpot random number counter C1 used for the lottery in which the jackpot is generated, the jackpot type counter C2 used for determining the jackpot type such as the probability variation jackpot result or the normal jackpot result, and the reach when the symbol display device 41 is changed. Reach random number counter C3 used for lottery, random number initial value counter CINI used for initial value setting of jackpot random number counter C1, first result display section AS and second result display section BS of main display section 43, and symbol display device The variation type counter CS that determines the variation display time at 41 is used. Unlike the present embodiment, a pachinko machine in which an electric accessory is provided in the lower operating port 34 and a through gate is provided in the game area also includes an electric accessory release counter C4. This electric accessory release counter C4 is a counter used for the lottery to determine whether or not the electric accessory 34a of the lower working port 34 is set in the electric utility open state (see parentheses in FIG. 13 and the second embodiment). . That is, in this case, the MPU 202 uses the counter information of the electric accessory release counter C4 to set the display of the accessory display unit (see the second embodiment).

  Each of the counters C1 to C3, CINI, and CS is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value each time it is updated, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. Each counter is updated at short time intervals, and the updated value is appropriately stored in a lottery counter buffer 231 set in a predetermined area of the RAM 204. The RAM 204 is provided with a reserved ball storage area 232 including a first result display area reservation area Ra, a second result display area reservation area Rb, an execution area AE, and a total number of reservations storage area. In the reserved ball storage area 232, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 are time-sequentially matched to the winning history of the game balls to the upper working port 33 or the lower working port 34. It is designed to be stored.

  For details of each counter, the jackpot random number counter C1 is configured such that, for example, 1 is sequentially added within a range of 0 to 599, and after reaching the maximum value, it returns to 0. In particular, when the jackpot random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the random number initial value counter CINI at that time is read as the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1. The random number initial value counter CINI is a loop counter similar to the jackpot random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 599). The big hit random number counter C <b> 1 is periodically updated and stored in the reserved ball storage area 232 of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the upper operation port 33 or the lower operation port 34. More specifically, the game result is stored in the first result display holding area Ra of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the upper operation port 33, and the second result display unit of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the lower operation port 34. Stored in the reserved area Rb.

  The value of the random number for winning the jackpot is stored as a success / failure table (availability information group) in a success / failure table storage area 221 as a success / failure information group storage means in the ROM 203. Here, the contents of the success / failure table will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, as the success / failure table, the success / failure table for low probability mode (low probability success / failure information group) in FIG. 14 (a) and the success / failure table for high probability mode (high) in FIG. Probability success / failure information group) is set. That is, in the present pachinko machine 10, a low probability mode (low probability corresponding state) and a high probability mode (high probability corresponding state) are set as the lottery modes in the winning / not-lotting means.

  In the gaming state in which the winning / failing table for the low probability mode is referred to at the time of the lottery, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), there are two random number values (that is, winning information) for winning the jackpot. . On the other hand, in the gaming state in which the winning / failing table for the high probability mode is referred to at the time of the lottery, as shown in FIG. 14 (b), there are 21 random number values (that is, winning information) for winning the jackpot. It is. In this case, the value group of the jackpot random number counter C1 that wins the jackpot in the situation of the low probability mode is included in the value group of the jackpot random number counter C1 that wins the jackpot in the situation of the high probability mode. If the winning probability in the high probability mode is higher than that in the low probability mode, the number and value of the random numbers to be won are arbitrary.

  The jackpot type counter C2 is configured so that 1 is added in order within a range of 0 to 29, and after reaching the maximum value, it returns to 0. The big hit type counter C <b> 2 is periodically updated and stored in the reserved ball storage area 232 of the RAM 204 at the timing when a game ball wins the upper operation port 33 or the lower operation port 34. More specifically, the game result is stored in the first result display holding area Ra of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the upper operation port 33, and the second result display unit of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the lower operation port 34. Stored in the reserved area Rb.

  Here, in the first embodiment, a plurality of jackpot results are set. These multiple jackpot results are obtained by providing a difference in two conditions: (1) the mode of opening / closing control of the variable winning device 32 in the opening / closing execution mode, and (2) the lottery mode in the winning lottery means after the opening / closing execution mode ends. Multiple jackpot results are set.

  As an aspect of the opening / closing control of the variable prize winning device 32 in the opening / closing execution mode, it is possible to increase the occurrence frequency of winning in the variable prize winning device 32 between the start and end of the opening / closing execution mode relatively high. A frequency winning mode and a low frequency winning mode are set. Specifically, in the high-frequency winning mode, the opening / closing of the special winning opening 32a is performed 15 times (the number of times for high frequency) from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode, and one opening is 30 sec (high frequency time) ) Or until the number of winning prizes to the big winning opening 32a reaches 10 (high frequency). On the other hand, in the low-frequency winning mode, the opening / closing of the special winning opening 32a is performed twice (the number of times for low frequency) from the start to the end of the opening / closing execution mode, and one opening is 0.2 sec (low frequency time). Or until the number of winning prizes in the special winning opening 32a reaches 6 (the number of low frequency).

  In this case, in the pachinko machine 10, in a situation where the launch handle 8A is operated by the player, the game ball launching mechanism 7A is configured so that one game ball is launched toward the game area in 0.6 sec. Drive controlled. On the other hand, in the low-frequency winning mode, as described above, the opening time of one large winning opening 32a is 0.2 sec. That is, in the low-frequency winning mode, the opening time of the one big winning opening 32a is shorter than the game ball firing cycle. Therefore, in the opening / closing execution mode according to the low frequency winning mode, the winning of the game ball does not substantially occur.

  Note that the number of opening / closing of the large winning opening 32a in the high-frequency winning mode and the low-frequency winning mode, the opening limit time for one opening, and the opening limit number for one opening are lower in the high-frequency winning mode. As long as the frequency of occurrence of winning in the variable winning device 32 increases from when the opening / closing execution mode is started to when it ends, the value is not limited to the above value and is arbitrary. Specifically, if the high-frequency winning mode has a larger number of opening and closing times than the low-frequency winning mode, the opening limit time for one opening is longer or the opening limit number for one opening is set larger. Good.

  However, in order to clarify the difference in privilege between the high-frequency winning mode and the low-frequency winning mode, in the opening / closing execution mode according to the low-frequency winning mode, the winning to the variable winning device 32 does not substantially occur. It may be configured. For example, in the high-frequency winning mode, the product of the launch period of the game ball and the opening limit number is set shorter than the opening limit time for one release, while in the low-frequency winning mode, It is good also as a structure which sets the product of the launching period of a game ball and the open limit number longer than the open limit time. In addition, even if the launch interval of the game balls and the opening time of one large winning opening 32a are not as described above, in the low-frequency winning mode, by setting the latter to be shorter than the former, It is possible to easily realize a configuration in which a winning to the variable winning device 32 is not substantially generated.

  The game result distribution destination for the big hit type counter C2 is stored as a distribution table (distribution information group) in the distribution table storage area 222 as a distribution information group storage means in the ROM 203. The contents of the distribution table will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, the distribution table includes a distribution table (first distribution information group) for the first result display unit in FIG. 15 (a) and a second result display unit in FIG. 15 (b). A distribution table (second distribution information group) is set.

  In the distribution table for the first result display section, as shown in FIG. 15A, as a distribution destination of game results, a normal jackpot result (low probability corresponding special game result), a 2R probability variation jackpot result, a 15R probability variation jackpot A result (a special game result corresponding to high probability) is set.

  The normal jackpot result is a jackpot result in which the opening / closing execution mode becomes the high-frequency winning mode and, after the opening / closing execution mode ends, the winning / not-lotting mode becomes the low probability mode. Further, in the 2R probability variation jackpot result, the opening / closing execution mode becomes the low-frequency winning mode, and after the opening / closing execution mode ends, the success / failure lottery mode becomes the high probability mode.

  The 15R probability variation jackpot result is a jackpot result in which the opening / closing execution mode becomes the high-frequency winning mode, and the success / failure lottery mode becomes the high probability mode after the opening / closing execution mode ends. The high-frequency support mode continues until the lottery result in the winning or failing lottery becomes a big hit state win and shifts to the big hit state by that. In other words, the 15R probability variation jackpot result is a jackpot result in which the gaming state is shifted to the 15R probability variation jackpot state (a special gaming state corresponding to high probability).

  Note that the normal gaming state in relation to the above gaming states refers to a state in which the winning / losing lottery mode is the low probability mode and the support mode is the low frequency support mode.

  As shown in FIG. 15 (a), in the distribution table for the first result display section, “0-9” among the values of the jackpot type counter C2 of “0-29” corresponds to the normal jackpot result. “10-19” corresponds to the 2R probability variation jackpot result, and “20-29” corresponds to the 15R probability variation jackpot result. On the other hand, in the distribution table for the second result display section, as shown in FIG. 15B, only the normal jackpot result and the 15R probability variation jackpot result are set as the game result distribution destination. Of the values of the jackpot type counter C2 of “0 to 29”, “0 to 9” corresponds to the normal jackpot result, and “10 to 29” corresponds to the 15R probability variable jackpot result.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, the game result distribution mode in the case of winning the jackpot is based on the winning win based on the winning to the upper operating port 33 and the winning to the lower operating port 34. It is different from the case of winning the jackpot based on. By the way, in a pachinko machine that does not include the anti-fraud device 50, if the first type oil ball goto action is performed, the probability of winning the lower working port 34 can be higher than usual, which is unfair to the actor. There is a possibility of profit. That is, when the fraud prevention device 50 is not provided and the first type oil ball is easily guided to the lower operation port 34, the oil ball goto action is performed even though the pachinko machine does not have a high-frequency support state. Therefore, there is a possibility that the probability of winning a prize to the lower operating port 34 is increased, the frequency of the winning / losing lottery based on the winning to the operating port 34 is unreasonably increased, and an unfair profit can be obtained.

  Here, regardless of whether the distribution table for the first result display section or the distribution table for the second result display section is used, the probability of a promiscuous jackpot result when the jackpot is won is the same. Yes. However, if a jackpot win is won based on the winning of the lower operating port 34 and a probable change jackpot result is generated, a 15R probable jackpot result is always obtained, whereas a jackpot win is won based on the winning of the upper operating port 33 and When the probability variation jackpot result is obtained, a 2R probability variation jackpot result is obtained with a probability of 1/4, and a 15R probability variation jackpot result is obtained with a probability of 1/2. In other words, the probability of occurrence of the 15R probability variation jackpot result, which is the most advantageous for the player among the probability variation jackpot results, is higher when the jackpot win is won based on the winning to the lower operation port 34. It will be higher than if you win a jackpot based on winning.

  In addition, when it becomes a losing result in the success / failure lottery, it does not shift to the opening / closing execution mode, and the change of the success / failure lottery mode does not occur.

  For example, the reach random number counter C3 is incremented one by one within a range of 0 to 238, for example, and reaches a maximum value and then returns to 0. The reach random number counter C3 is periodically updated and stored in the reserved ball storage area 232 of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the upper operation port 33 or the lower operation port 34. More specifically, the game result is stored in the first result display holding area Ra of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the upper operation port 33, and the second result display unit of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the lower operation port 34. Stored in the reserved area Rb. Then, based on the reach table stored in the reach table storage area of the ROM 203, it is determined whether to generate a reach. However, in the game times that shift to the open / close execution mode, the MPU 202 determines the occurrence of reach regardless of the value of the reach random number counter C3. The number of reach random number counters C3 corresponding to the occurrence of reach display is the same in each gaming state, but may be set individually according to the gaming state. For example, when the support mode is the high frequency support mode, the number of reach random number counters C3 corresponding to the occurrence of reach display may be set larger than that in the low frequency support mode.

  Here, the reach display (reach state) includes a symbol display device 41 capable of performing variable display (or variable display) of symbols (pictures), and the opening / closing execution mode of the variable winning device 32 is a high-frequency winning mode. In the game machine in which the stop display result after the variable display is a special display result in the game times to be, the stop display result is derived and displayed after the variable display (or variable display) of the symbol (picture) on the symbol display device 41 is started. This means a display state for making the player think that the display state is a variable display state that is likely to result in the special display result in the previous stage.

  In other words, the combination of jackpot symbols corresponding to the occurrence of the high-frequency winning mode is established by stopping the symbols for some of the symbol sequences displayed on the display screen of the symbol display device 41. This is a display state in which a combination of reach symbols that may be displayed is displayed, and in that state, the symbols are displayed in a variable manner in the remaining symbol rows. More specifically, as a step before ending the variable display of symbols, a combination of jackpot symbols corresponding to the occurrence of the high-frequency winning mode is established on a preset active line in the display screen of the symbol display device 41. A reach line is formed by stopping and displaying a combination of reach symbols that may possibly be displayed, and a symbol change display is performed by a final stop symbol row in a situation where the reach line is formed.

  The display contents in FIG. 12 will be described in detail. First, in the state where the symbol variation display is finished in the upper symbol row Z1, and further in the state where the symbol variation display is finished in the lower symbol row Z3, any effective A reach line is formed by stopping and displaying the main symbols having the same numbers on the lines L1 to L5, and in the situation where the reach line is formed, the symbol variation display is performed in the middle symbol row Z2. Reach display. When the high-frequency winning mode occurs, the main symbol with the same number as the main symbol forming the reach line is stopped and displayed on the reach line in the middle symbol row Z2. The symbol variation display is terminated.

  In the reach display, in the state where the combination of reach symbols is displayed as described above, the variation display of symbols is performed on the remaining symbol rows, and a predetermined character or the like is displayed as a moving image on the background screen. There are those that produce an effect, and those that perform a reach effect by displaying a predetermined character or the like as a moving image on almost the entire display screen after reducing or not displaying a combination of reach symbols. Further, when reach display is performed or before reach display, it is determined using the reach random number counter C3 or other counter whether or not to perform a notice display using a predetermined image such as a predetermined character. May be.

  The variation type counter CS is, for example, incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 198, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The variation type counter CS is used in the MPU 202 to determine the variation display time in the first result display unit AS and the second result display unit BS of the main display unit 43 and the symbol variation display time in the symbol display device 41. . The variation type counter CS is updated once every time a normal process to be described later is executed once, and is repeatedly updated even within the remaining time in the normal process. Then, the buffer value of the variation type counter CS is acquired when the variation pattern is determined at the start of variation display in the first result display section AS or the second result display section BS and at the variation start time of the symbol by the symbol display device 41.

  As already described, the MPU 202 uses at least the buffer value of the variation type counter CS to determine the variation display time in the first result display section AS and the second result display section BS. A variable display time table storage area 223 is used. Further, the MPU 202 uses the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 and the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE to determine the stop results in the first result display section AS and the second result display section BS. However, the stop result table storage area 224 of the ROM 203 is used for the determination.

<Configuration of the holding ball storage area 232>
Next, the configuration of the reserved ball storage area 232 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

  The first result display section holding area Ra stores the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 in time series in accordance with the winning history of the game balls to the upper working port 33. Is a reserved area for In addition, the second result display section holding area Rb displays the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 in time series in accordance with the winning history of the game balls to the lower operating port 34. This is a reserved area for storing. Here, since the first result display area reservation area Ra and the second result display area reservation area Rb have the same configuration, the first result display area of the both reservation areas Ra and Rb will be described below. The configuration of the reserved area Ra will be described.

  The first result display area reservation area Ra includes four storage areas of a first area to a fourth area, and a reservation number storage area. Each storage area has a C1 storage area for storing the value of the jackpot random number counter C1, a C2 storage area for storing the value of the jackpot type counter C2, and a C3 storage for storing the value of the reach random number counter C3. It consists of an area and more. With the four storage areas of the first area to the fourth area, up to four game balls winning histories to the upper operation port 33 are stored on hold.

  The C1 storage area is composed of 2 bytes, and the jackpot counter C1 value of any of 0 to 599 is stored using the lower 10 bits of 0 to 9. The upper 6 bits of 10 to 15 in the C1 storage area are unused areas.

  The C2 storage area is composed of 1 byte, and the jackpot type counter C2 value of any of 0 to 29 is stored using the lower 5 bits of 0 to 4. The upper 2 bits of 5 to 7 in the C2 storage area are unused areas.

  The C3 storage area is composed of 1 byte, and one of the reach random number counters C3 of 0 to 238 is stored using all 8 bits of 0 to 7.

  The reserved number storage area is a storage area for storing the number of use of the storage area, that is, the number of the game balls won in the upper operation port 33 and held. The reserved number storage area is composed of 1 byte, and any value of 0 to 4 is stored using the lower 3 bits of 0 to 2. The upper 5 bits of 3 to 7 in the reserved number storage area are unused areas.

  In addition, in the reserved ball storage area 232, the total number of holds for storing information of the sum of the number of holds in the first result display area reservation area Ra and the number of holds in the second result display area reservation area Rb. A storage area is provided. The total reserved number storage area is composed of 1 byte, and any value from 0 to 8 is stored using lower 4 bits of 0 to 3. Of the total reserved number storage area, the upper 4 bits of 4 to 7 are unused areas.

  The execution area AE shown in FIG. 13 is stored in the storage area of the first result display section reservation area Ra or the second result display section reservation area Rb when the variable display of each result display section AS, BS is started. This is an area for moving each value. The execution area AE has the same configuration as the storage area for one of the result display area reservation areas Ra and Rb, that is, a C1 storage area having a 2-byte configuration, a C2 storage area having a 1-byte configuration, and a 1-byte configuration. And a C3 storage area.

<Various processes executed by main controller 81>
Next, a timer interrupt process and a normal process that are executed when the MPU 202 in the main controller 81 advances the game in each game time will be described. In addition to the timer interrupt process and the normal process, the MPU 202 executes a main process activated when the power is turned on and an NMI interrupt process activated by input of a power failure signal to the NMI terminal (non-maskable terminal). However, description of these processes is omitted.

<Timer interrupt processing>
First, timer interrupt processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is started periodically by the MPU 202 (for example, at a cycle of 2 msec).

  In step S101, various winning switch reading processes are executed. That is, the state of various switches connected to the main control device 81 is read, and the state of the switch is determined and the detection information (winning detection information) is stored. Thereafter, in step S102, the random number initial value counter CINI is updated. Specifically, the random number initial value counter CINI is incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value. Then, the update value of the random number initial value counter CINI is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 204.

  In the subsequent step S103, the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 are updated. Specifically, the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 are each incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter values reach the maximum value. Then, the updated values of the counters C1 to C3 are stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 204. Note that in the pachinko machine provided with an electric accessory in the lower working port and a through gate in the game area, the electric accessory release counter C4 is incremented by 1 in step S103, and each time the counter value reaches the maximum value, respectively. A process of clearing to 0 is performed (see the second embodiment).

  After that, in step S104, a winning process for the operating port accompanying winning in the operating ports 33, 34 is executed, and in addition, in step S105, a passing process for passing through in accordance with winning in the through gate 35 is executed. This timer interrupt process is terminated.

  The winning opening process for the operation port in step S104 and the through process for through in step S105 will be described below.

<Winning process for working port>
First, the winning process for the working opening will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 201, it is determined based on the detection state of the detection sensor corresponding to the upper operation port 33 whether or not the game ball has won a prize (start winning prize) in the upper operation port 33. If it is determined that the game ball has won the upper working port 33, in step S202, a prize ball command for causing the payout control device 97 to pay out three game balls is set. In subsequent step S203, an external signal setting process is performed in order to output a signal to the management control device on the game hall side that the game ball has won the upper working port 33. In step S204, the value stored in the reserved number storage area of the first result display section reservation area Ra is read, and the start reserved storage number RaN stored in the first result display section reservation area Ra is set. (Hereinafter, it is also referred to as the first start reserved memory number RaN). Thereafter, in step S205, an information acquisition process for storing the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 is performed, and the main winning process is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S201 that the game ball has not won the upper working port 33, in step S206, whether or not the game ball has won the lower working port 34 (starting winning) corresponds to the lower working port 34. The determination is made based on the detection state of the detection sensor. If it is determined that the game ball has won the lower operation port 34, a prize ball command for causing the payout control device 97 to pay out four game balls is set in step S207. In the subsequent step S208, an external signal setting process is performed so as to output a signal to the management control device on the game hall side that the game ball has won the lower operation port 34. In step S209, the value stored in the reserved number storage area of the second result display area reservation area Rb is read, and the start reserved memory number RbN stored in the second result display area reservation area Rb is set. (Hereinafter, it is also referred to as the second start reserved memory number RbN). Thereafter, an information acquisition process is performed in step S205, and the main winning process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if both step S201 and step S206 are NO, that is, if the game ball has not won any of the upper operating port 33 and the lower operating port 34, the main winning process is finished as it is. The prize ball command set in steps S202 and S207 is transmitted to the payout control device 97 in an external output process S501 of a normal process described later.

  Here, the information acquisition processing in step S205 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S301, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved start storages N (RaN or RbN) set in step S204 or step S209 described above is less than an upper limit value (4 in the present embodiment). If the start hold storage number N is the upper limit value, the information acquisition process is terminated as it is. If the start hold storage number N is less than the upper limit value, the start hold storage number N of the corresponding result display unit hold area is set to 1 in step S302. In addition to the increment, the value stored in the total reserved number storage area in step S303 (hereinafter referred to as the common reserved number CRN) is incremented by one.

  In the subsequent step S304, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 updated in step S103 are used as the first storage area among the free storage area areas of the corresponding result display area reservation area. That is, the number is stored in the storage area corresponding to the reserved storage number incremented by 1 in step S302.

  That is, when the first start pending storage number RaN is set, the values of the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 updated in the step S103 are used for the first result display unit. The first storage area among the free storage areas of the reservation area Ra, that is, the storage area corresponding to the first start reservation storage number RaN incremented by 1 in step S302 is stored.

  If the second start pending storage number RbN is set, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2 and the reach random number counter C3 updated in step S103 are used for the second result display section. The first storage area among the free storage areas of the reserved area Rb, that is, the storage area corresponding to the second start reserved memory number RbN incremented by 1 in step S302 is stored.

  In the subsequent steps S305 and S306, the audio lamp control device 82 and the display control device 212, which are the sub-side control devices, recognize that a winning has occurred in the upper operation port 33 or the lower operation port 34, and a hold notice is given. A confirmation process for hold notice and a process for setting a hold command, which are processes to be executed, are executed. Thereafter, the information acquisition process ends.

  Note that the hold command set by the processes in steps S305 and S306 is transmitted to the audio lamp control device 82 in the external output process (step S501) of the normal process described later. When the voice lamp control device 82 receives the hold command transmitted based on the winning to the upper working port 33, the voice lamp control device 82 executes processing for turning on the first hold lamp unit 45. The first hold lamp unit 45 is sequentially turned on from the left side. For example, if the first start hold memory number RaN is 1, the leftmost first hold lamp unit 45 is turned on, and the first start hold memory number If RaN is 4, all the first holding lamps 45 are turned on. Further, when a hold command transmitted based on a winning to the lower working port 34 is received, a process for lighting the second hold lamp unit 46 is executed. The second hold lamp unit 46 is sequentially lit from the left side. For example, if the second start hold memory number RbN is 1, the leftmost second hold lamp unit 46 is turned on and the second start hold memory number If RbN is 4, all the second holding lamp portions 46 are turned on.

<Passing process for through>
Next, the through process for through will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S401, it is determined whether or not a game ball is introduced from the entrance 52y to the fraud prevention device 50. Here, whether or not a game ball has been introduced from the entrance 52y (whether or not it has entered) is determined by determining whether or not the detection sensor 211g provided at the entrance 52y has detected a game ball. Can do. And when it determines with having been introduced from the entrance 52y by step S401, it transfers to step S402 and it is determined whether the passage flag has already been set. That is, in the first embodiment, when a subsequent game ball enters the anti-fraud device 50 before the shutter 52k is opened / closed based on the game ball previously input into the anti-fraud device 50 (in a short time). (When two game balls enter continuously) is also considered.

  For this reason, the first passage flag and the second passage flag are assumed as passage flags, and the first passage flag, the second passage flag, the first passage flag, the second passage flag,... Are set in this order (RAM204). (The passage flag is stored in the passage flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 235). This passage flag is stored when the detection sensor 211g detects a game ball in a state where “both the first passage flag and the second passage flag” are not set. Then, it is erased when an opening preparation flag described later is set.

  When step S402 is executed, it is determined in step S403 whether both the first passage flag and the second passage flag are set. If the determination in step S403 is affirmative, the through process for through is terminated as it is. That is, when two or more subsequent game balls are introduced into the fraud prevention device 50 before the shutter 52k is opened and closed based on the game balls introduced into the fraud prevention device 50 first, the second ball The shutter 52k is not opened / closed based on the subsequent game balls. However, in this embodiment, three or more passage flags may be provided, and the shutter 52k may be opened and closed based on the second and subsequent game balls.

  If it is determined negative in step S403 and it is determined that the second passage flag is set in step S404, the set time (that is, the setting of the first passage flag is set) in step S405. The first passage flag with information relating to the time) added thereto is set in the passage flag storage area, and the passage processing is terminated. Further, even when a negative determination is made in step S402, in step S405, the first pass flag in a state where information related to the set time (that is, the set time of the first pass flag) is added is stored in the pass flag. The area is set and the passing process is terminated.

  If it is determined negative in step S403 and it is determined that the first passage flag is set in step S404, the set time (that is, the second passage flag setting time) is determined in step S406. Is set in the passage flag storage area, and the passage process is terminated. Information about the set time can be acquired from a clock circuit (transmitter) mounted on the MPU 202, for example.

  On the other hand, when the game ball is not introduced from the entrance 52y of the fraud prevention device 50, the main winning process is terminated without performing the processes after step S402. In the first embodiment, it is assumed that one game ball can be discharged into the special passage SR when the shutter 52k is opened and closed once. However, a plurality of game balls are provided in the special passage SR. The case where the discharge is possible will be described later (Modification 2).

<Normal processing>
Next, the flow of normal processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The normal process is a process that is started after the main process that is started when the power is turned on, and the main process of the game is executed in the normal process. As an outline, the processing of steps S501 to S508 is executed as a periodic processing with a period of 4 msec, and the counter update processing of steps S510 and S511 is executed with the remaining time.

  In the normal process, in step S501, output data such as a command set in the timer interrupt process or the previous normal process is transmitted to each sub-side control device. Specifically, the presence or absence of a prize ball command is determined, and if a prize ball command is set, it is transmitted to the payout control device 97. Further, if a production command such as a variation command, a type command, or a variation end command is set, the command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 82.

  Next, in step S502, an abnormality monitoring process is executed to determine whether an "abnormality that a predetermined number of first type oil balls have been fired during a certain period of time" has occurred. A detailed description of the abnormality monitoring process will be described later. In the subsequent step S503, the fluctuation type counter CS is updated. Specifically, the variation type counter CS is incremented by 1, and the counter value is cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value. Then, the update value of the variation type counter CS is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 204.

  In the subsequent step S504, the prize ball counting signal and the payout abnormality signal received from the payout control device 97 are read. Thereafter, in step S505, game time control processing for controlling the game in each game time is executed. In the game times control process, jackpot determination, setting of symbol variation display by the symbol display device 41, display control of the result display sections AS and BS on the side performing variation display, and the like are performed. Details of the game times control process will be described later.

  Thereafter, in step S506, a game state transition process for shifting the game state is executed. Although details will be described later, the gaming state shifts to an opening / closing execution mode, a high probability mode, and the like by this gaming state transition processing. As shown in a second embodiment to be described later, in a pachinko machine equipped with an operating port having an electric accessory, the gaming state transitions to an opening / closing execution mode, a high probability mode, a high frequency support mode, etc. by the gaming state transition process. To do.

  In step S507, an electric role driving process is executed. Details of this electric role driving process will be described later. Thereafter, in step S508, a game ball launch control process is executed. In the game ball launch control process, the solenoid of the game ball launch mechanism 7A is excited once in a predetermined period (for example, 0.6 sec) on condition that a launch permission signal is input from the power supply / launch control device 98. . Thereby, the game ball is launched toward the game area.

  In the subsequent step S509, it is determined whether or not the execution timing of the next normal process has been reached, that is, whether or not a predetermined time (4 msec in the present embodiment) has elapsed since the start of the previous normal process. The random number initial value counter CINI and the variation type counter CS are repeatedly updated within the remaining time until the next normal processing execution timing (steps S510 and S511). That is, in step S510, the random number initial value counter CINI is updated. Specifically, the random number initial value counter CINI is incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value. Then, the update value of the random number initial value counter CINI is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 204. In step S511, the variation type counter CS is updated. Specifically, the variation type counter CS is incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value. Then, the update value of the variation type counter CS is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 204.

  Here, since the execution time of each process of steps S501 to S508 changes according to the state of the game, the remaining time until the execution timing of the next normal process is not constant and varies. Therefore, by repeatedly updating the random number initial value counter CINI using the remaining time, the random number initial value counter CINI (that is, the initial value of the big hit random number counter C1) can be updated at random. Similarly, The variation type counter CS can also be updated at random.

<Game times control processing>
Next, the game times control process of step S505 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  In the game times control process shown in FIG. 22, first, in step S601, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing execution mode is in effect. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing execution mode flag (opening / closing execution state information) is stored in the opening / closing execution mode flag storage area (opening / closing execution state information storage means) in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204. The opening / closing execution mode flag is stored when the gaming state is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode in the gaming state transition process described later, and is erased when the opening / closing execution mode is ended in the gaming state transition process.

  When in the open / close execution mode, the game is executed without executing any of the processes after step S602, that is, the game times starting process of steps S603 to S605 and the game times progressing process of steps S606 to S609. End control processing. In other words, in the open / close execution mode, the game times are not started regardless of whether or not a winning for the operation ports 33 and 34 has occurred.

  If it is not in the opening / closing execution mode, it is determined in step S602 whether the main display unit 43 is in a variable display. Specifically, it is determined whether or not any one of the first result display section AS and the second result display section BS is in a variable display. In this determination, it is determined whether or not the variable display flag (variable display information) is stored in the variable display flag storage area (variable display information storage unit) in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204. To do. The variable display flag is stored when variable display is started for either the first result display unit AS or the second result display unit BS, and is erased when the variable display ends.

  When the main display unit 43 is not in a variable display, the process proceeds to the game turn start process in steps S603 to S605. In the game turn starting process, first, in step S603, it is determined whether or not the common pending number CRN is “0”. The case where the common hold number CRN is “0” means that the start hold storage number is “0” for both the upper operation port 33 and the lower operation port 34. Therefore, the game times control process is finished as it is. If the common hold number CRN is not “0”, the data stored in the first result display area reservation area Ra or the second result display area reservation area Rb is set for variable display in step S604. In step S605, a variation start process for starting the variation display on the main display unit 43 and the variation display on the symbol display device 41 is performed, and then the game number control process is terminated.

  Here, the data setting process in step S604 and the change start process in step S605 will be described in detail below.

  First, the data setting process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the data setting process, first, in step S701, it is determined whether or not the second start hold storage number RbN stored in the second result display section reservation area Rb is “0”. When the second start reserved memory number RbN is “0”, the data setting process for the first result display unit in steps S702 to S707 is executed, and when the second start reserved memory number RbN is not “0”. Executes the data setting process for the second result display unit in steps S708 to S713.

  Here, the case where the data setting process is executed is a case where the common pending number CRN is 1 or more as described above. In this case, in the data setting process, it is determined whether or not the second start hold storage number RbN is “0”. If it is not “0”, that is, the hold information for variable display is displayed for the second result display unit BS. If stored, the data stored in the second result display area reservation area Rb is set for variable display regardless of whether or not the first start reservation storage number RaN is 1 or more. I made it. Thereby, when the hold information is stored in both the first result display hold area Ra and the second result display hold area Rb, the second result display hold area corresponding to the lower operation port 34. The hold information stored in Rb is prioritized.

  In the data setting process for the first result display unit, first, in step S702, the first reserved storage number RaN of the first result display unit reservation area Ra is decremented by one. In subsequent step S703, the common reservation number CRN is decremented by one. Thereafter, in step S704, the data stored in the first area of the first result display area reservation area Ra is moved to the execution area AE.

  After that, in step S705, a process for shifting the data stored in the storage area of the first result display area reservation area Ra is executed. This data shift process is a process for sequentially shifting the data stored in the first to fourth areas to the lower area side, and clears the data in the first area, and the second area → the first area, the first area, Data in each area is shifted, such as 3 area → second area, fourth area → third area, and so on.

  In the subsequent step S706, the second result display section flag (second result display section information) is stored in the second result display section flag storage area (second result display section information storage means) provided in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204. If it is stored, it is erased, and if it is not stored, its state is maintained. The second result display unit flag is information for specifying whether the start of the current variation display is the first result display unit AS or the second result display unit BS.

  In the subsequent step S707, a shift time command (shift occurrence information) that is information for causing the audio lamp control device 82, which is the sub-side control device, to recognize that the data in the holding area has been shifted is set. In this case, from the command information storage area 225 of the ROM 203, information indicating that the reserved area to which the data is shifted this time corresponds to the reserved area Ra for the first result display section, that is, the upper operating port 33. A shift time command including information indicating that it is compatible is selected, and the selected shift time command is set as a command to be transmitted to the sound lamp control device 82. Thereafter, the data setting process is terminated.

  The shift command set in step S707 is transmitted to the audio lamp control device 82 in step S501 in the normal process (FIG. 21). The voice lamp control device 82 executes a process for changing the display on the first hold lamp unit 45 of the variable display unit 36 in accordance with the decrease in the number of hold based on the received shift command.

  In the data setting process for the second result display unit, first, in step S708, the second reserved storage number RbN of the second result display unit reserved area Rb is decremented by one. In subsequent step S709, the common reservation number CRN is decremented by one. Thereafter, in step S710, the data stored in the first area of the second result display area reservation area Rb is moved to the execution area AE.

  Then, the process which shifts the data stored in the memory | storage area of 2nd result display part holding | maintenance area Rb in step S711 is performed. This data shift process is a process for sequentially shifting the data stored in the first to fourth areas to the lower area side, and clears the data in the first area, and the second area → the first area, the first area, Data in each area is shifted, such as 3 area → second area, fourth area → third area, and so on.

  In subsequent step S712, the second result display section flag (second result display section information) is stored in the second result display section flag storage area (second result display section information storage means) provided in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204. If not stored, the second result display section flag is stored, and if stored, the state is maintained.

  In the subsequent step S713, a command at the time of shifting (shift occurrence information) is set, which is information for causing the audio lamp control device 82, which is the sub-side control device, to recognize that the data in the holding area has been shifted. In this case, from the command information storage area 225 of the ROM 203, it corresponds to the information indicating that the reserved area to which the current data is shifted corresponds to the reserved area Rb for the second result display section, that is, corresponds to the lower operation port 34. The command at the time of shift including the information indicating that the command is being performed is selected, and the selected command at the time of shift is set as a command to be transmitted to the sound lamp control device 82. Thereafter, the data setting process is terminated.

  The shift command set in step S713 is transmitted to the audio lamp control device 82 in step S501 in the normal process (FIG. 21). The voice lamp control device 82 executes a process for changing the display on the second holding lamp unit 46 of the variable display unit 36 in accordance with the decrease in the number of holdings based on the received shift command.

  Next, the fluctuation start process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the variation start process, first, in step S801, it is determined whether or not the winning lottery mode is a high probability mode. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a high probability mode flag (high probability state information) is stored in a high probability mode flag storage area (high probability state information storage means) provided in various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204. To do. The high probability mode flag is a flag that is stored at the end of the opening / closing execution mode related to the occurrence of the probability variation jackpot result, and is erased when a normal jackpot result occurs thereafter.

  If it is not the high probability mode, in step S802, the determination is made with reference to the determination table for the low probability mode. Specifically, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE matches the value set as the jackpot winning in the success / failure table for the low probability mode as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not. On the other hand, in the case of the high probability mode, whether or not it is determined is determined in step S803 by referring to a high probability mode determination table. Specifically, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE matches the value set as the jackpot winning in the success / failure table for the high probability mode as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not.

  After the process of step S802 or step S803, it is determined in step S804 whether the lottery result in step S802 or step S803 is a big win. In the case of a big win, in steps S805 to S811, a process for setting a game result and a process for setting a stop result in the case of a big win are executed.

  In step S805, it is determined whether the second result display unit flag is stored in the RAM 204. If the second result display unit flag is not stored, in step S806, distribution determination is performed with reference to the distribution table for the first result display unit (see FIG. 15A). Specifically, whether the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is included in the numerical range of the normal jackpot result, the numerical range of the 2R probability variation jackpot result, or the numerical range of the 15R probability variation jackpot result Determine. On the other hand, if the second result display unit flag is stored, the distribution determination is performed in step S807 with reference to the distribution table for the second result display unit (see FIG. 15B). Specifically, it is determined whether the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is included in the numerical range of the normal jackpot result or the numerical range of the 15R probability variable jackpot result.

  After the process of step S806 or step S807, it is determined in step S808 whether or not the game result distributed in step S806 or step S807 is a probability variation jackpot result. If it is a probable jackpot result, in step S809, any stop result is displayed on the first result display section AS or the second result display section BS in the current game round in which a probable jackpot result will occur. Execute the stop result setting process for probability variation jackpot to set whether to end the variable display at.

  The stop result setting process for probability variation jackpot will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S901, it is determined whether or not the game result distributed in step S806 or step S807 is a 15R probability variation jackpot result. Here, as already described, in the distribution table for the first result display unit, a plurality of types of game results of 2R probability variation jackpot result and 15R probability variation jackpot result are set as probability variation jackpot results. In the distribution table for the two result display section, only one type of 15R probability variation jackpot result is set as the probability variation jackpot result. Therefore, in the case where the current game time is based on the winning of the game ball to the upper operation port 33 and the game result is distributed in the distribution table for the first result display unit. In step S901, a negative determination may be made or an affirmative determination may be made. On the other hand, in the case where the current game time is based on the winning of a game ball to the lower operation port 34 and the game result is distributed in the distribution table for the second result display section. In step S901, an affirmative determination is always made.

  If a negative determination is made in step S901, the distributed game result is a 2R probability change jackpot result, so in step S902, the stop result table for 2R probability change is referred to in the stop result table storage area 224. Then, the address information of the stop result data corresponding to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is acquired, and the address information is stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 204 in step S903. Thereafter, in step S904, after the 2R probability variation flag (high probability correspondence information) is stored in the 2R probability variation flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204, the stop result setting process is terminated.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S901, the value of the big hit type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is referred to in step S905 with reference to the stop result table for 15R probability change in the stop result table storage area 224. The address information of the stop result data corresponding to is acquired, and the address information is stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 204 in step S906. Thereafter, in step S907, the 15R probability variation flag storage area (high probability correspondence special information storage means) in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204 is stored in the 15R probability variation flag (high probability correspondence special information). Exit.

  Returning to the description of the variation start process (FIG. 24), after executing the process of step S809, the process proceeds to step S813. On the other hand, if the game result distributed in step S806 or step S807 is not a probability variation jackpot result, a negative determination is made in step S808, and the process proceeds to step S810. In step S810, referring to the stop result table for normal jackpots in the stop result table storage area 224, the address information of stop result data corresponding to the value of the jackpot type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE is acquired. The address information is stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 204. Thereafter, in step S811, after the normal big hit flag (low probability correspondence special information) is stored in the normal big hit flag storage area (low probability correspondence special information storage means) in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204, this stop result setting process Exit. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S813.

  If the lottery result in step S802 or step S803 is not a big win, a negative determination is made in step S804, and the flow proceeds to step S812. In step S812, for the off time for setting which stop result is displayed on the first result display section AS or the second result display section BS in the current game round that results in a losing result, and the variable display is ended. Execute the stop result setting process. In the outage stop result setting process, referring to the outage stop result table in the stop result table storage area 224, stop result data corresponding to the value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE The address information is acquired, and the address information is stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 204. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S813.

  In step S813, a variable display time setting process for setting the variable display time of the current game time in the first result display section AS or the second result display section BS is executed. The variable display time setting process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the variable display time setting process, first, in step S1001, the value of the variation type counter CS stored in the variation type counter buffer in the lottery counter buffer 231 of the RAM 204 is acquired and stored in the register of the MPU 202.

  In the subsequent step S1002, it is determined whether or not reach display is generated in the symbol display device 41 in the current game round. Specifically, it is determined whether or not any probability variation jackpot flag or normal jackpot flag is stored in the RAM 204. If any flag is stored, an affirmative determination is made in step S1002 as the occurrence of reach display. Even if none of the above flags is stored, if the value of the reach random number counter C3 stored in the execution area AE is a value corresponding to the occurrence of reach, the occurrence of reach display is generated. In step S1002, an affirmative determination is made. Note that the reach determination table stored in the reach determination table storage area of the ROM 203 is referred to when the presence / absence of reach occurrence is determined using the value of the reach random number counter C3.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S1002, the value of the current variation type counter CS is referred to by referring to the reach generation variation display time table stored in the variation display time table storage area 223 of the ROM 203 in step S1003. In step S1004, the variable display time information corresponding to the variable display time information is set in a variable display time counter area (variable display time measuring means) provided in the various counter areas 234 of the RAM 204. Thereafter, the setting process ends.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S1002, the current variation type counter CS of the current variation type counter CS is referred to by referring to the reach non-occurrence variation display time table stored in the variation display time table storage area 223 in step S1005. The variable display time corresponding to the value is acquired, and in step S1006, the variable display time information is set in the variable display time counter area. Thereafter, the setting process ends.

  Note that the variable display time information when no reach occurs is set so that the variable display time is shortened as the number of common hold counts CRN increases. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a configuration that does not depend on the number of the common pending number CRN may be used, and the variable display time may be set shorter as the number of the common pending number CRN is smaller. . When the second start pending storage number RbN is “0”, the larger the first start pending storage number RaN is, the shorter the variable display time becomes, and the second start pending storage number RbN is equal to or greater than “1”. In this case, the variation display time may be set to be shorter as the number of the second start pending storage numbers RbN is larger. When the second start pending storage number RbN is “0”, the larger the first start pending storage number RaN is, the shorter the variable display time becomes, and the second start pending storage number RbN is equal to or greater than “1”. In this case, the variable display time may be longer as the number of the second start reserved memory number RbN is larger, or may be set to be constant without depending on each of the reserved memory numbers RaN and RbN.

  In the pachinko machine 10B provided with the ordinary electric accessory (refer to the second embodiment), in the situation where the support mode (which will be described later) is the high frequency support mode, the holding information is stored more than in the low frequency support mode. The variable display time table for non-reach generation is set so that a short variable display time is selected compared with the case where the numbers are the same, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the selected variable display is not limited to this. The time may be the same, or the reverse of the above relationship.

  Furthermore, the above configuration may be applied to the variable display time at the time of reach occurrence, and the variable display time that is easily selected and the variable display time that is difficult to select are different at the time of jackpot winning and out of reach. It is good also as a structure. Also, a variation display time table for probability variation jackpot, a variation display time table for normal jackpot, a variation display time table for outreach, and a variation display time table for complete losing may be set individually.

  As described above, the variation display time of each game time is determined by using the presence / absence of reach, the number of hold information, and the value of the variation type counter as parameters. However, the variable display time of each game time is the content of other hold information, specifically, jackpot determination information, type determination information and reach determination information included in the other hold information as parameters. Decided without.

  Returning to the description of the fluctuation start process (FIG. 24), after step S813, it is determined whether or not the second result display unit flag is stored in the RAM 204 in step S814. If the second result display section flag is not stored, the first variation command is set in step S815. The first change command includes information indicating that the current game time is related to the hold information acquired based on the winning to the upper working port 33, and information on whether or not reach has occurred, and Contains variable display time information. On the other hand, if the second result display section flag is stored, a second variation command is set in step S816. The second change command includes information indicating that the current game round is related to the hold information acquired based on the winning to the lower working port 34, and information on whether or not reach has occurred, and Contains variable display time information.

  After executing the process of step S815 or step S816, the type command is set in step S817. The type command includes game result information. That is, the type command includes 15R probability variation jackpot result information, normal jackpot result information, 2R probability variation jackpot result information, and the like as game result information.

  The variation command and type command set in steps S815 to S817 are transmitted to the sound lamp control device 82 in step S501 in the normal process (FIG. 21). The sound lamp control device 82 determines the contents of the effect at the game time based on the received change command and type command, and controls various devices so that the determined contents of the effect are executed. The voice lamp control device 82 transmits the received change command and type command to the display control device 212 as they are. The display control device 212 controls the display of the symbol display device 41 so that the symbol variation display corresponding to each game time is performed based on the variation command and the type command.

  After that, in step S818, the variation display of the pattern is started in the result display unit corresponding to the current game round among the first result display unit AS and the second result display unit BS. In this case, when the second result display unit flag is not stored in the RAM 204, the result display unit corresponding to the current game time is specified as the first result display unit AS, and the second result display unit flag is set. If stored, the result display unit corresponding to the current game time is specified as the second result display unit BS. Then, this variation start process is terminated.

  Returning to the description of the game times control process (FIG. 22), when the main display unit 43 is in a variable display, the game times progress process of steps S606 to S609 is executed. In the process for advancing game times, first, in step S606, it is determined whether or not the current game time fluctuation display time has elapsed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the value of the variable display time information stored in the variable display time counter area of the RAM 204 is “0”. The value of the variable display time information is set in the variable display time setting process (FIG. 26) as described above. The set value of the variable display time information is decremented by 1 every time the timer interrupt process (FIG. 17) is started.

  If the variable display time has not elapsed, the variable display process is executed in step S607. In the process for variable display, the display mode in the result display section related to the current game time is changed. Thereafter, the game times control process is terminated.

  If the fluctuation display time has elapsed, a fluctuation end process is executed in step S608. In the variation end process, the address information stored in the RAM 204 in any of the processes of step S809, step S810, or step S812 of FIG. 24 is specified, and the pattern mode corresponding to the address information is the result of the current game round. The result display unit is controlled to be displayed on the display unit.

  In the subsequent step S609, a change end command is set. Thereafter, the game times control process is terminated. The change end command set in step S609 is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 82 in step S501 in the normal process (FIG. 21). The sound lamp control device 82 ends the effect in the game round based on the received variation end command. Further, the change end command is transmitted from the sound lamp control device 82 to the display control device 212, and the display control device 212 receives the change end command, thereby confirming and displaying the combination of the final stop symbols in the game round ( Final stop display).

<Game state transition processing>
Next, the gaming state transition processing in step S506 will be described with reference to the flowcharts in FIGS.

  In the gaming state transition process shown in FIG. 27, first, in step S1101, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing execution mode is in effect. If it is not in the opening / closing execution mode, the process proceeds to step S1102, and it is determined whether or not it is the timing when the variation display of the pattern in the first result display section AS or the second result display section BS of one game time is finished. If it is not the timing when the variable display is finished, the gaming state transition process is finished as it is.

  If it is the timing when the variable display is finished, it is determined in step S1103 whether or not the game result of the current game time corresponds to the transition to the opening / closing execution mode. Specifically, it is determined whether any of the 2R probability variation flag, the 15R probability variation flag, or the normal jackpot flag is stored in the RAM 204. If none of the above flags is stored, the gaming state transition process is terminated as it is.

  If any of the above flags is stored, in step S1104, a round display start process for informing the type of the current opening / closing execution mode is executed. In the round display start process, first, address information stored in the stop result address storage area of the RAM 204 is confirmed. Then, stop result data corresponding to the address information is specified from the stop result data group stored in the ROM 203, and the content of the number of rounds is confirmed from the specified stop result data. Thereafter, the content of the confirmed number of rounds is output to the round display unit RS in the main display unit 43. As a result, the round display section RS displays information about the round related to the output.

  In a succeeding step S1105, it is determined whether or not the current opening / closing execution mode is the high-frequency winning mode. Specifically, it is determined whether or not either the 15R probability variation flag or the normal jackpot flag is stored in the RAM 204. If it is not the high-frequency winning mode, that is, if it is the low-frequency winning mode, “2” is set in the first round counter area RC1 provided in the various counter areas 234 of the RAM 204 in step S1106. The first round counter area RC1 is a counter area for counting the number of times the special winning opening 32a is opened. On the other hand, if it is the high-frequency winning mode, “15” is set in the first round counter area RC1 in step S1107.

  After executing the process of step S1106 or step S1107, an opening command is set in step S1108. The set opening command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 82 in step S501 in the normal process (FIG. 21). This opening command includes information indicating whether the high-frequency winning mode or the low-frequency winning mode is set. Based on the received opening command, the sound lamp control device 82 determines the contents of the effect corresponding to the opening / closing execution mode, and controls various devices so that the determined contents of the effect are executed. In addition, the opening command is transmitted from the sound lamp control device 82 to the display control device 212, and the display control device 212 receives the opening command, thereby displaying corresponding to the current opening / closing execution mode (for example, moving image display). Display control of the symbol display device 41 is performed.

  On the other hand, if it is in the opening / closing execution mode, an affirmative determination is made in step S1101, and a prize winning opening / closing process is executed in step S1109. In the big prize opening / closing process, when the big prize opening 32a is closed, the variable prize driving unit 32c is set in the driving state on condition that the first round counter area RC1 is “1” or more. The big prize opening 32a is opened. Further, when the big prize opening 32a is being opened, the variable prize driving unit is provided on the condition that the opening limit time has passed since the opening of the big prize opening 32a or the opening limit number has been won. The driving state of 32c is stopped and the special winning opening 32a is closed. Note that the opening limit time and the opening limit number are different between the high-frequency winning mode and the low-frequency winning mode as described above.

  In a succeeding step S1110, it is determined whether or not the value of the first round counter area RC1 is “0”. If the value of the first round counter area RC1 is not “0”, the gaming state transition process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if the value of the first round counter area RC1 is “0”, an ending command is set in step S1111. The set ending command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 82 in step S501 in the normal process (FIG. 21). The sound lamp control device 82 ends the effect corresponding to the opening / closing execution mode based on receiving the ending command. In addition, the ending command is transmitted from the sound lamp control device 82 to the display control device 212, and the display control device 212 receives the ending command, thereby terminating the display corresponding to the current opening / closing execution mode.

  Thereafter, in step S1112, a transition process at the end of the opening / closing execution mode is executed. Here, the transition process at the end of the opening / closing execution mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S1201, it is determined whether or not the 15R probability variation flag or the 2R probability variation flag is stored in the RAM 204. If any flag is stored, in step S1202, a flag erasure process for erasing information for specifying the gaming state is executed. Specifically, when the opening / closing execution mode flag and the high probability mode flag are stored, they are deleted, and when they are not already stored, the states are maintained. In the subsequent step S1203, the high probability mode flag is stored. As a result, the gaming state shifts to a gaming state in which the winning / failing lottery mode is the high probability mode. Thereafter, the migration process ends. Note that these high probability modes are maintained at least until the next big win is won. Thereafter, the migration process ends.

  If it is determined in step S1201 that both the 15R probability variation flag and the 2R probability variation flag are not stored, this means that the current opening / closing execution mode is performed based on the fact that the normal jackpot flag is stored. To do. In this case, in step S1204, the above flag erasure process is executed, and the transition process is terminated.

  Returning to the description of the gaming state transition process (FIG. 27), after the transition process at the end of the opening / closing execution mode in step S1112 is terminated, a round display termination process is performed in step S1113. In this process, the display control of the round display unit RS is terminated so that the round display unit RS in the main display unit 43 is turned off.

  Then, in step S1114, after executing the opening / closing execution mode end processing, the gaming state transition processing ends. In the end processing of the opening / closing execution mode, if the 2R probability variation flag, the 15R probability variation flag, and the normal jackpot flag are stored, they are deleted, and if not already stored, the state is maintained.

<Electronic drive processing>
Next, the electric power driving process of step S507 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This electric combination driving process is a driving process related to one electric combination provided in the fraud prevention device 50. That is, the first passing flag, the second passing flag, the first passing flag, the second passing flag,... Are set in the order of passing through the entrance 52y. And the electric combination based on the second passage flag is set as the second electric combination opening / closing process. That is, since a game ball may pass continuously through the entrance 52y, a first passing flag and a second passing flag are provided.

  In the electric role driving process, it is determined in step S1301 whether or not a passage flag is set. Specifically, the process of step S1301 is performed by determining whether or not a passage flag (first passage flag, second passage flag) is stored in the passage flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204. Can do. Then, if a negative determination is made in the process of step S1301, the electric role driving process is terminated.

  When an affirmative determination is made in the process of step S1301, it is determined which of the first passage flag and the second passage flag is the passage flag set first. In other words, if it is determined in step S1302 that the first passage flag has been set first, the power combination driving process is terminated after performing the first power combination opening / closing process in step S1303. If it is determined in step S1302 that the second passage flag has been set first, the second power combination opening / closing process in step S1304 is performed, and then the power combination driving process is terminated. Next, the contents of the first electric combination opening / closing process and the second electric combination opening / closing process will be described. The contents of the first electric combination opening / closing process and the second electric combination opening / closing process are the same.

  As shown in FIG. 30, in the electric utility opening / closing process, it is determined in step S1401 whether an opening permission flag is set. Specifically, the process of step S1401 can be performed by determining whether or not the release permission flag is stored in the release permission flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204. Here, “a flag indicating that the shutter 52k is allowed to open after a predetermined time (1.5 seconds later)” is set, and the first opening permission flag is set in the first electric utility opening / closing process. In the second power combination opening / closing process, the second release permission flag is set.

  In the first electric utility opening / closing process, if it is determined in step S1401 that the first release permission flag is not set, the process of deleting the first passage flag and the first release permission flag are set in step S1402. And 375 (1.5 seconds) is set in the first release start timer TS1, and the first electric utility opening / closing process is terminated. The first release start timer TS1 is decremented by 1 every time the normal process is started. The first opening start timer TS1 is a timer that determines when the shutter 52k starts to open based on when the first opening permission flag is set. The second opening start timer TS2, which will be described later, is a second opening permission flag. Is a timer that determines when the shutter 52k starts the opening operation with reference to the time when is set.

  If the first opening permission flag is set, it is determined in step S1403 whether or not the opening 52j is being opened. Whether or not the opening 52j is open is determined by whether or not the electric accessory driving unit 34b is in a driving state. If it is determined in step S1403 that the opening 52j is not open, the process proceeds to step S1404. In step S1404, it is determined whether or not the value of the first release start timer TS1 is “0”. If the value of the first release start timer TS1 is not “0”, the main utility opening / closing process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, when the value of the first opening start timer TS1 is “0”, in step S1405, an opening process for controlling the opening 52j to the opened state is executed, and the first opening end timer TE1. Is set to “375 (1.5 seconds)”, and the first electric utility opening / closing process is terminated. That is, the first opening end timer TE1 and the second opening end timer TE2 described later are based on the time when the electric accessory driving unit 34b performs the opening operation of the shutter 52k. It is a timer that determines when to perform an action.

  If it is determined in step S1403 that the opening 52j is being opened, the process proceeds to step S1406. In step S1406, it is determined whether or not the value of the first release end timer TE1 is “0”. If the value of the first opening end timer TE1 is not “0”, the main utility opening / closing process is ended as it is. On the other hand, if the value of the first opening end timer TE1 is “0”, in step S1407, a closing process for controlling the opening 52j to a closed state is executed, and the main utility opening / closing process is ended. To do.

  In the second electric role opening / closing process, if it is determined in step S1401 that the second release permission flag is not set, step S1402 is executed, and if it is determined that the second release permission flag is set, step After the negative determination in S1403 and the negative determination in step S1404, the second electric utility opening / closing process is once ended, or in step S1403, the negative determination and the positive determination in step S1404 are performed, and then the process of step S1405 is executed. 2 Ends the electric utility opening / closing process.

  If the second release permission flag is set and an affirmative determination is made in step S1403, an affirmative determination is made in step S1406, the process in step S1407 is executed to end the second electric utility opening / closing process, or in step S1406 After a negative determination, the second electric utility opening / closing process is terminated. Note that the electric utility opening / closing process is a part of the normal process, and is executed at a cycle of 4 msec. The count values set in the release start timer TS (first release start timer TS1, first release start timer TS2) and release end timer TE (first release end timer TE1, second release end timer TE2) are predetermined. It is decremented by 1 at a cycle (4 msec cycle).

<Abnormality monitoring processing>
Next, the abnormality monitoring process in step S502 of the normal process will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  In the abnormality monitoring process, when it is suspected that a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) of first type oil balls have been fired within a certain period (for example, 30 seconds), a notification process is executed. Specifically, when it is determined that a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) of first type oil balls have been fired within a certain period (for example, 30 seconds), a large number of first type oil balls have been fired. The notification to that effect is executed through the sound lamp control device 82, and information indicating that a large number of first type oil balls are being fired is output to the hall computer through the external terminal board.

  In the abnormality monitoring process, in step S1501, it is determined whether or not the notification period counter ITC provided in the various counter areas 234 of the RAM 204 is “0”. The notification period counter ITC is a counter that determines a period for executing notification.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S1501, the process proceeds to step S1502, in which “7500” is set in the notification period counter ITC, and the value of the detection counter TC1 provided in the various counter areas 234 of the RAM 204 is set to “0”. To do. Here, the detection counter TC1 is a counter for counting the number of fires of the first type oil ball every certain period (for example, 30 seconds). The notification period counter ITC value of “0” indicates that the detection counter TC1 has performed counting for 30 seconds. The abnormality monitoring process is a part of the normal process and is executed at a cycle of 4 msec. For this reason, the count value set in the notification period counter ITC and the detection counter TC1 is decremented by 1 at a predetermined cycle (4 msec cycle).

  If a negative determination is made in step S1501, or after executing the process of step S1502, the process of step S1503 is executed. In the processing of step S1503, it is determined whether or not a detection signal corresponding to discharge detection is input. If affirmative in step S1503, the detection counter TC1 provided in the various counter areas 234 of the RAM 204 is incremented by “1” in step S1504, and the value of the detection counter TC1 is “10” in the subsequent step S1505. It is determined whether or not. The discharge detection is executed when the discharge sensor 211f provided in the recess 52h detects the game ball.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1505, the abnormality monitoring process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1505, the notification process is executed in the subsequent step S1506, and then the abnormality monitoring process is terminated. Here, in the abnormality notification process, a notification execution command corresponding to detection of illegal spheres is output to the voice lamp control device 82 and information corresponding to detection of fraud is output to the hall computer through the external terminal board. The sound lamp control device 82 receives the notification execution command to turn on the error display lamp portion and output a warning sound from the speaker portion 64. Furthermore, there are many illegal spheres on the display screen G of the symbol display device 41. Displays a message that it has been fired.

  According to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment described in detail above, since the fraud prevention device 50 is provided on the lower left side of the center frame 42, the first type oil ball flowing down the left-handed region L faces the lower working port 34. The first type oil ball does not reach the lower working port 34 even if it flows down. That is, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, since the anti-fraud device 50 is provided, the first type oil balls are removed from the game balls that flow down the left-handed region L and go to the lower working port 34. Are provided with a bridge-like accessory (shutter 52k) that always moves in a constant manner, and a switch (detection sensor 211g) for starting its operation, and the first type oil ball is left as it is or directed to the out port 37. A dodging mechanism is installed on the game board 24 side.

  Then, by moving the bridge-shaped accessory (shutter 52k) after a predetermined time has passed since passing through the switch (detection sensor 211g), if the first type oil ball is passed, the passage speed is fast. 52h), it can be an out ball, and it is not guided to the special passage SR. Moreover, if it is not a 1st type oil ball (if it is a valid game ball), it will head to the lower working port 34, without crossing a bridge. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, it is possible to remove the first type oil ball and improve the countermeasure against fraud. That is, it is difficult to select a game ball (first type oil ball) to which low-viscosity oil adheres and a legitimate game ball (game ball that is not the first type oil ball), but in this embodiment, the game ball Paying attention to the difference in speed when the (first type oil ball) and a legitimate game ball (game ball that is not the first type oil ball) pass through the same distance (the first type oil ball is faster), the first The seed oil ball can be removed. Moreover, it is possible to remove only the first type oil ball without adversely affecting the legitimate game ball. In other words, a legitimate game ball (regular game) using the introduction passage 52p of a constant distance (same distance) and the shutter 52k that opens the opening 52j in a fixed time (same time) after passing through the switch (detection sensor 211g). Sphere) and the first type oil sphere can be distributed.

  By the way, in a pachinko machine that does not use the fraud prevention device 50, it is expected that by executing the first type oil ball goto, the “winning rate to the lower working port 34” is increased and an unfair profit is obtained. . In other words, a low-viscosity oil component is applied to the game ball to reduce the friction of the game ball flowing down the game area PE against the nail, thereby increasing the ball speed of the game ball and improperly inserting the game ball into the lower operation port 34. A situation where a ball is made is assumed. In this case, it is possible to obtain an unreasonable profit on the winning ball, or to increase the possibility of winning a big win based on the winning to the lower operating port 34 as compared with the case of using a legitimate game ball. , May give undue benefits to the actor. On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, since the fraud prevention device 50 is used, the first type oil ball can be removed, which is effective in preventing such fraud.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a game ball is fired in the right-handed region R, the possibility of winning in the lower working port 34 is lower than when a game ball is fired in the left-handed region L. 50 is arranged only on the left side (front view) below the center frame 42. In other words, the fraud prevention device 50 is effectively arranged to prevent the gaming board 24 from being narrowed. However, the fraud prevention device is provided in both the left-handed region L and the right-handed region R. (It will be described later). Furthermore, you may provide the fraud prevention apparatus for protecting the other operation port 33 and other winning ports (general winning port 31, large winning port 32a, etc.) from 1st type oil ball goto (it mentions later).

<Other embodiments>
In addition, it is not limited to the description content of 1st Embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows. Incidentally, each of the following configurations may be individually applied to each of the above embodiments, or a part or all of them may be combined and applied to each of the above embodiments. In addition, each of the following configurations may be applied to an embodiment other than the embodiment exemplified as an application target.

(1) In the first embodiment, “illegal game ball (hereinafter referred to as“ illegal ball ”)” is assumed to be “applied” with a low-viscosity oil (for example, lubricating oil, salad oil, etc.) attached thereto. The first type oil ball in which the speed of flowing down the game area PE is faster than that of a regular game ball (a game ball lent at a pachinko hall) is exemplified. However, other forms of illegal spheres can also be exemplified, for example, an illegal sphere in which the speed of flowing down the game area PE is made faster than the regular game sphere by making the weight heavier than the regular game sphere. You can also.

(2) Also, as described above, in the first embodiment, the mode in which the anti-fraud device 50 is arranged on the left (front view) below the center frame 42 is illustrated, but the game ball that has flowed down the left-handed region L May be provided with a fraud prevention device 50 for distributing the destination of the game and a fraud prevention device 50 for distributing the destination of the game ball that has flowed down the right-handed region R, or the destination of the game ball that has flowed down the right-handed region R Only the fraud prevention device 50 for distributing the information may be provided. Note that when the two anti-fraud devices 50 are arranged in a mirror-like state on the left and right (for example, in a state of being symmetric with respect to a virtual plane passing through the operation port 33 in the vertical direction), the shutter 52k is in an open state. The right and left fraud prevention devices 50 may not coincide with each other. For example, the timing at which the shutter 52k is opened in the right fraud prevention device 50 may be made faster than the timing at which the shutter 52k is opened in the left fraud prevention device 50 (see the second embodiment described later). ). However, in the first embodiment, the left-handed region L has a higher firing frequency than the right-handed region L. Therefore, even when the left-handed region L includes only the anti-fraud device 50 for distributing the destinations of the game balls that have flowed down the left-handed region L. It is possible to effectively take measures against fraud.

(3) In the first embodiment, areas (left-handed region L) and (right-handed region R) having a sufficient size (sufficiently large for providing a winning opening, an operating port, etc.) on the left and right of the center frame 42. However, the center frame 42 is narrowed so that either one of the left and right areas of the center frame 42 is narrowed (for example, a single game ball can pass through and a winning hole, an operating hole, etc. cannot be provided). ) The fraud prevention device 50 can also be arranged for the game board. For example, in a game board in which the right-handed region R is narrowed, the fraud prevention device 50 may be arranged only on the left (front view) below the center frame 42.

(4) In this embodiment, in the pachinko machine 10 provided with the two operation ports 33 and 34, the countermeasure against fraud to the operation port 34 was illustrated. That is, it is more advantageous in terms of the number of winning balls and the like when winning a big hit based on winning the lower working port 34 than when winning a big winning based on winning the upper working port 33 Since the lower operating port 34 is likely to be a target of fraud, the mode of taking countermeasures against the lower operating port 34 is illustrated. However, the upper operation port 33 may be excluded from the game board 24 of the first embodiment, or the warp passage W, the stage S, and the like may be excluded. Alternatively, a countermeasure against fraud may be applied to the warp passage W.

(5) In the first embodiment, the structure in which the fraud prevention device 50 is arranged in the game area PE is illustrated, but the fraud prevention device 50 may be provided as an internal structure of the operation port or other winning award.

(6) As shown in Modification 1 in FIG. 32, a fraud prevention device 50 </ b> A may be provided as an internal structure of the center frame 42. Also in this case, since the fraud prevention device 50A is provided as the internal structure of the center frame 42, the structure of the fraud prevention device 50A can be simplified.

  In the pachinko machine 10 according to the first modification, an inlet 58a is opened at the upper portion of the center frame 42, and the fraud prevention device 50A is connected to the inlet 58a. The route distribution device 58c is connected to the lower part of the special passage SR of the fraud prevention device 50A, and the route below the route distribution device 58c is branched into a normal route 58d and a special route 58f. Further, the lower end of the normal route 58d and the lower end of the special route 58f merge to form an outlet 58e, and the working port 33A is opened almost directly below the outlet 58e. Note that the probability that a game ball passing through the special route 58f reaches the exit 58e is high (for example, 100%), and the probability that a game ball passing through the normal route 58d reaches the exit 58e is low (for example, 10%). Has been. A detection sensor 211g for detecting a game ball entered from the entrance 58a is provided close to the entrance 58a. In addition, since a croon 58x similar to the clune 51e of the first embodiment is provided in the middle of the normal route 58d, the game ball that has entered the normal route 58d reaches the end of the normal route 58d (exit 58e). The probability is low.

  As shown in FIG. 33, the route distribution device 58c distributes the game balls received from the special passage SR to the normal route 58d or the special route 58f, and is rotatable (swingable) by the shaft 58j. The distribution piece 58h is supported, and the distribution piece 58h is generally lightly upward and inclined (hereinafter referred to as a basic position). A weight 58g is embedded on the right side of the shaft 58j of the sorting piece 58h. In the route distribution device 58c, when one game ball is received from the special passage SR, the game ball rolls leftward on the distribution piece 58h. At this time, the sorting piece 58h rotates to the left by the weight of the game ball (hereinafter referred to as a left rotation posture).

  In this pachinko machine, when the game ball reaches the left end of the sorting piece 58h, the gaming ball is released from the sorting piece 58h to the normal route 58d. At this time, a space 58k through which a game ball can pass is formed on the right side of the sorting piece 58h. When the sorting piece 58h releases the gaming ball, the sorting piece 58h rotates to the right, Returned to posture. However, if the subsequent game ball is received by the route distribution device 58c before the distribution piece 58h assumes the basic posture, the subsequent game ball passes through the space 58k and is guided to the special route 58f.

  In this pachinko machine, by performing the first type oil ball goto, it is possible to make a plurality of game balls reach the route distribution device 58c continuously. For example, when the fraud prevention device 50A is not provided, a plurality of first type oil balls enter from the entrance 58a immediately after entering a legitimate game ball from the entrance 58a, so that a plurality of toward the route distribution device 58c. It is possible to reach the game balls. In this case, when the sorting piece 58h is set to the left rotation posture, the succeeding game ball can reach the route sorting device 58c, and the succeeding game ball can reach the special route 58f. However, since the modification 1 includes the fraud prevention device 50A, the first type oil ball can be prevented from reaching the route sorting device 58c.

(7) When a plurality of game balls are continuously introduced into the fraud prevention device 50 as in Modification 2 shown in FIG. 34 (a), the plurality of game balls (for example, Y1, Y2) are used once. When the shutter 52k can be guided to the special passage SR through the opening operation of the shutter 52k, the passing flag based on the incoming game ball may not be set. For example, as shown in FIG. 34 (b), which is an explanatory diagram showing a part of the flowchart, the first passage flag is not set when the through passage occurs within a minute time t seconds after the second passage flag is set. (See step S404C), or the second passage flag may not be set when the through passage occurs within a minute time t seconds after the first passage flag is set (step S404D is changed). reference).

(8) When a plurality of gaming balls are introduced into the fraud prevention device 50 in a short period of time as in the third modification shown in FIG. 34 (c), the plurality of gaming balls (for example, Y3, Y4) are combined. When the opening 52j cannot be guided to the special passage SR by opening and closing the shutter 52k, the delay process for delaying the closing of the shutter 52k may be performed (see the broken line in the drawing). For example, in a short period (substantially continuously), two game balls (Y3, Y4) are introduced into the fraud prevention device 50, and at the same time as the second game ball reaches the opening 52j, the shutter 52k When performing the closing operation, a delay process is performed in which the closing of the shutter 52k based on the introduction of the first game ball is delayed and the passage flag is not set based on the introduction of the second game ball. Before the shutter 52k is closed, the second game ball may be guided to the special passage SR through the opening 52j.

(9) As an illegal ball according to the application example, an illegal ball subjected to a process for making the speed of flowing down the game area PE slower than a regular game ball (a game ball lent at a pachinko hall) is illustrated. You can also As this treated ball, for example, “a high-viscosity oil (oil having high viscosity such as oil-based hair styling agent, hand cream, etc.) is attached (applied) so that the speed at which the game area PE flows down is a regular game ball. A game ball (that is, a second type oil ball) that is slower than the above can be exemplified. In addition, as a processing ball that has been processed to make the speed of flowing down the game area PE slower than that of a regular game ball, for example, by attaching an adhesive component such as an adhesive, the game area PE flows down. An example of a game ball that is slower than a regular game ball or that easily stays on the game area PE is also possible.

  That is, in a game ball (hereinafter referred to as a delay ball) to which a second type oil ball or an adhesive is attached, the speed of flowing down the game area PE is slower than that of a regular game ball. Then, for example, by launching a delay ball in the same manner as a regular game ball, a deliberate ball by a delay ball (game ball) on a predetermined part of the game area PE (for example, around a predetermined obstacle nail). There has also been reported an illegal act (hereinafter referred to as a delayed ball goto) in which a jam (so-called “ball jam called grape”) is caused to improve the winning probability to a predetermined winning opening intentionally. In this case, based on the technique shown in the aforementioned Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-279267, it is conceivable to detect that oil (high-viscosity oil) is attached (applied) to the game ball.

  However, even when a high-viscosity oil component is attached (applied) to the game ball (even if it is a type 2 oil ball), the oil component is impregnated with a conductive substance (carbon or the like). If this is the case, the electrical resistance may be measured as small as if the oil is not attached to the game ball. That is, the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-279267 discloses a technique in which it is difficult to prevent type 1 oil ball goto despite the fact that an electrode is provided on a plate member and the structure is complicated. It ’s just that. Thus, it is difficult to sort out the second type oil balls and the regular game balls (game balls that have not been subjected to processing for slowing down the flow speed of the game area). For this reason, it is also eagerly desired to take a countermeasure against fraud by removing only the illegal game balls without causing any adverse effects on the legitimate game balls. A specific example of this delay ball goto (for example, second type oil ball goto) will be described as application example 1.

  The pachinko machine 10 of the application example 1 is the same as the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment except that the configuration of the fraud prevention device is different in the following points. In the application example 1, FIGS. . That is, the fraud prevention device of the application example 1 also has the same configuration as the fraud prevention device of the first embodiment, and among the game balls flowing down the game area PE, the destination of what is taken into the fraud prevention device 50 is usually set. It is for distributing to a passage or a special passage. However, the normal passage NR shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 is used as a special passage in the fraud prevention device of Application Example 1, and the special passage SR shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 is used as a normal passage in the fraud prevention device of Application Example 1. ing.

  For this reason, in the fraud prevention device of the application example 1, when the game ball is guided to the special passage (NR in FIGS. 8 to 10) of the application example 1, the ball entrance (winning entrance, operation port) is passed through the recess 52h. ). On the other hand, in the fraud prevention device of the application example 1, when the game ball is guided to the normal path of the application example 1 (SR in FIGS. 8 to 10), the game ball is discharged out of the pachinko machine 10. . In addition, the normal path | pass (SR in FIGS. 8-10) of the application example 1 is good also as providing the downward inclination which goes to the back of the pachinko machine 10 of the application example 1, and returning a game ball to island equipment, for example.

  In addition, while the front portion of the normal passage of application example 1 (SR in FIGS. 8 to 10) is in an open state, the game ball is guided by providing a downward slope toward the front of the pachinko machine of application example 1. Is once returned to the game area 24, and the game ball returned to the game area 24 does not enter any entrance (winning entrance, operation entrance) and is discharged from the pachinko machine 10 through the out entrance 37. Good. Alternatively, one game ball may be paid out as a prize ball every time one game ball is guided to the normal passage (SR in FIGS. 8 to 10) of Application Example 1.

  Next, the function of the fraud prevention apparatus 50 of the application example 1 is demonstrated using FIG. 9 and FIG. The game ball introduced into the introduction passage 52p through the entrance 52y rolls in the direction of the shutter 52k (opening 52j) using the downward slope of the introduction passage 52p. And when a delay ball (for example, the 2nd type oil ball) tries to reach the opening 52j, the speed of the game ball is equal to or lower than the specific speed, so before the specific time (t1 second) elapses. The game ball does not reach the opening 52j.

  That is, since a specific time elapses until the game ball reaches the opening 52j, the shutter 52k has already opened the opening 52j when the delay ball reaches the opening 52j. Therefore, since the introduction passage 52p and the normal passage (SR in FIGS. 8 to 10) communicate with each other through the opening 52j, the game ball rolling on the introduction passage 52p is in the normal passage (in FIGS. 8 to 10). SR) and can be an out sphere (not guided to the special path NR in FIGS. 8 to 10). Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the delay ball goto (for example, the second type oil ball goto).

  On the other hand, if the game ball introduced into the introduction passage 52p is a regular (legitimate) game ball (for example, a regular ball that is not a second type oil ball), the speed of the game ball exceeds the specific speed, and therefore the specific time Before (t1 seconds) elapses (before the electric accessory driving unit 51d is driven), the opening 52j is reached. At this time, since the opening 52j is closed, the game ball passes over the shutter 52k closing the opening 52j and is guided to a special passage (NR in FIGS. 8 to 10).

(Second Embodiment)
Next, an example of the “pachinko machine” of the second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The pachinko machine 10B according to the second embodiment is different from the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment in that the configuration and location of the fraud prevention device 50B and the lower working port 34B are provided with the electric accessory 34a. That is, the fraud prevention device 50B having a configuration different from that of the first embodiment is provided at a position where the game ball launched from the game ball launching mechanism 7A always passes. Hereinafter, the pachinko machine 10B of the second embodiment will be described in detail. In addition, about the structure same as the pachinko machine 10 of 1st Embodiment, the description is abbreviate | omitted fundamentally.

  First, the structure of the game board 24 of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated based on FIG. The game board 24 of the second embodiment also has a plurality of large and small openings penetrating in the front-rear direction by being subjected to router processing. In addition, the game board 24 of the second embodiment is also held by the inner frame 13 (see the virtual line in FIG. 35). An inner rail portion 5A and an outer rail portion 5B are attached, and a general winning port 31, a variable winning device 32B, an upper operating port 33B, a lower operating port 34B, a variable display unit 36 and a main display are attached to each opening. Each part 43 is provided. In addition, in the general winning opening 31, the variable winning device 32B, the upper operating opening 33B, the lower operating opening 34B, the variable display unit 36, the main display section 43, etc., the inner rail section 5A and the outer rail section 5B are substantially circular or elliptical. It is arranged in a region that is substantially surrounded by the shape (that is, game region PE). The left-handed region L and the right-handed region R are each provided with a through gate 35.

  On the back side of the game board 24, detection sensors (not shown) are provided corresponding to the general winning port 31, the variable winning device 32B, the upper operating port 33B, and the lower operating port 34B. When a ball enters the variable winning device 32B, the upper working port 33B, and the lower working port 34B, this is detected by a corresponding detection sensor, and a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out based on the detection result. .

  The upper operating port 33B and the lower operating port 34B are unitized as an operating port device and are installed in the game board 24. Both the upper working port 33B and the lower working port 34B are opened upward. Further, both the operation ports 33B and 34B are arranged in the vertical direction, more specifically in the vertical direction so that the upper operation port 33B is on the upper side. The lower working port 34B is provided with an electric accessory 34a as a guide piece including a pair of left and right movable pieces.

  As described above, the second embodiment is different from the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment in that the lower working port 34B includes the electric accessory 34a, but FIG. 36 is used for details of the electric accessory 34a. I will explain. FIG. 36A shows a case where the electric accessory 34a is in a closed state (non-supported state or non-guided state), and FIG. 36B is a state where the electric accessory 34a is in an open state (supported state or guide state). Shows the case.

  The working port case 33a that constitutes the upper working port 33B projects to the near side, and the lower side length of the working port case 33a (that is, the left and right width of the lower portion of the upper working port 33B) is in the closed state of the electric accessory 34a. In some cases, the length is greater than the distance between the left and right electric accessories 34a. In addition, when the electric accessory 34a is in a closed state, the installation interval between the two operation openings 33B and 34B is set so that the distance between the operating port case 33a and the upper end of the electric accessory 34a is slightly shorter than the diameter of the game ball. Has been adjusted.

  According to the above configuration, in the closed state of the electric accessory 34a, the game ball cannot win the lower operation port 34B, and the electric operation item 34a is opened, so that it is possible to win the lower operation port 34B. In particular, at this time, in the middle of the operation in which the electric accessory 34a shifts from the closed state to the open state, the operating port case 33a of the operating port 33B becomes an obstacle, and thus the lower operation is performed until the electric accessory 34a is sufficiently opened. It is impossible to win a game ball to the mouth 34B, and it is possible to win only when the electric accessory 34a is almost fully open. That is, the game ball that has dropped from above hits the side surface of the operating port case 33a and is bounced outward, and does not directly win the lower operating port 34B. Thereby, when the electric accessory 34a is opened in a very short time, it becomes extremely difficult to win the lower working port 34B, and only when the open state of the electric accessory 34a is continued, Winning is easy.

  Furthermore, as described above, the upper working port 33B and the lower working port 34B are arranged in parallel. More specifically, since they are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, when the electric accessory 34a is in an open state, the game balls flowing down toward the upper side of the operating port device are the upper operating port 33B and the lower operating port. It is possible to win any of the mouths 34B. In other words, when the electric accessory 34a is in the open state, it is difficult to aim for winning in the upper working port 33B and winning in the lower working port 34B by an operation mode of the firing handle 8A described later. It has become.

  Here, when the support mode of the electric accessory 34a of the lower working port 34B is the low-frequency support mode (described later), the electric accessory 34a per unit time is compared to the high-frequency support mode (described later). The frequency of opening is relatively low. For this reason, in the low frequency support mode, it is difficult to win a game ball in the lower working port 34B or to determine whether or not the game ball is won based on a winning in the lower working port 34B.

  In the pachinko machine 10B according to the second embodiment, the variable winning device 32B is provided directly below the lower operation port 34B. The significance of the opening / closing execution mode is the same as that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment. Further, in the pachinko machine 10B of the second embodiment, the decorative member 39 is provided with a display part 44 for an accessory in addition to the main display part 43 similar to that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment.

  The accessory display unit 44 is a display unit for clearly indicating the result of the internal lottery performed based on winning through the through gate 35. In this case, the accessory display unit 44 displays a variation of the picture triggered by the winning of the through gate 35, and the internal lottery performed based on the winning of the through gate 35 as a result of stopping the variation display. The result of is clearly displayed. If the result of the internal lottery based on the winning to the through gate 35 is a winning result corresponding to the transition to the state where the electric role is opened, a predetermined stop result is displayed on the accessory display unit 44 and displayed in a variable manner. After is stopped, it shifts to the electric utility open state. In the electric combination open state, the electric combination 34a provided in the lower operation port 34B is opened in a predetermined manner. In addition, although the display part 44 for an accessory is comprised by the segment display apparatus which has a some segment, it is not limited to this, You may use other display apparatuses, such as a liquid crystal display device.

  On the back side of the game board 24, detection sensors (not shown) are provided in correspondence with the general winning port 31, the variable winning device 32B, and the operating ports 33B and 34B. The general winning port 31, the variable winning device When a ball enters 32B and the operation ports 33B and 34B, this is detected by a corresponding detection sensor, and a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out based on the detection result. It should be noted that 10 game balls are paid out when a ball is entered into the general winning opening 31, and 15 game balls are paid out when a ball is entered into the variable winning device 32B. When a ball enters the upper working port 33B, three game balls are paid out. When a ball enters the lower working port 34B, four game balls are paid out. Is done.

  Moreover, the pachinko machine 10B of the second embodiment includes a variable display unit 36 (symbol display device 41) similar to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment. The variable display unit 36 includes a center frame 42 similar to that of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, and the display content of the variable display unit 36 (symbol display device 41) in the pachinko machine 10B of the second embodiment is The same as the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment. Further, similarly to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, a first holding lamp portion 45 corresponding to the first result display portion AS and the symbol display device 41 is provided in the upper left portion on the front side of the center frame 42. Yes. Further, a second holding lamp portion 46 corresponding to the second result display portion BS and the symbol display device 41 is provided at the upper right portion on the front side of the center frame 42. Further, a third holding lamp portion 47 corresponding to the accessory display portion 44 is provided at the lower portion of the center frame 42. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the through gate 35 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of held balls is displayed by turning on the third holding lamp portion 47. In addition, the structure etc. by which each holding lamp | ramp parts 45-47 are displayed on a part of symbol display apparatus 41 may be sufficient. In addition, an out port 37 is provided at the lowermost part of the game board 24, and game balls that have not entered various winning holes etc. are discharged from the game area PE through the out port 37. The game board 24 is provided with a large number of nails 38 in order to disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game ball as appropriate, and various members (functions) such as a windmill.

  As shown in FIG. 35, the game board 24 of the second embodiment is also held by the inner frame 13 (see the virtual line in FIG. 35). Similarly to the first embodiment, on the left end side of the game board 24, the guide rail 5E is configured by the inner rail portion 5A and the outer rail portion 5B that are arranged substantially in parallel. The guide rail 5E has a substantially arcuate path that is long in the vertical direction, has a lower end portion that is inclined to the right, and has a lower end portion that is open. In addition, the upper end portion side of the guide rail 5E is inclined upward to the right, and the upper end portion is open to the upper left oblique side of the game area PE. Then, using the guide rail 5E, the game ball launched from the game ball launching mechanism 7A is guided to the upper part (the upper left oblique part) of the game area PE.

  As shown in FIG. 37, the game ball launching mechanism 7A includes a firing rail 7B, a launching device 7C, and a ball feeding device 7F (see a virtual line in the figure). Among these, the firing rail 7B is arranged in a slanting manner so as to be inclined upward to the right below the attachment portion of the game board 24 in the front surface portion of the inner frame 13 (below the window hole 23 in the resin base 21). In addition, a spacing portion 7D is provided between the upper end portion of the launch rail 7B and the lower end of the guide rail 5E, and a game ball launched by the launching device 7C and jumping over the spacing portion 7D is guided to the guide rail 5E. The game area PE can be reached. Then, a game ball that has been launched by the launching device 7C but could not jump over the interval portion 7D, or jumps over the interval portion 7D and is guided to the guide rail 5E, but without reaching the game area PE, the guide rail 5E. The game ball reversing is dropped as a foul ball to the interval portion 7D. Then, the foul ball dropped through the interval portion 7D is discharged to the lower plate 72.

  The firing device 7C is a solenoid-type firing device, and includes a plunger 7E having an axis substantially parallel to the path of the firing rail 7B, and a striking portion 7H attached to the upper end (left end) of the plunger 7E. In this launching device 7C, it is possible to repeat magnetization and non-magnetization at regular intervals, and the upper end (left end) of the plunger 7E moves forward (protrusion) in the direction of the guide rail 5E and moves away from the guide rail 5E. You can repeat the retreat in the direction. Further, the projection speed of the plunger 7E is adjusted based on the operation amount of the launch handle 8A, and the striking force (the launch speed of the launch ball, the flight amount) applied to the game ball by the launch device 7C is adjusted. . The launching device 7C is not a solenoid-type launching device, and for example, a launching device using a motor and a launching rod may be used.

  Although detailed illustration is omitted, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 37, the ball feeder 7F is disposed in front of the firing rail 7B. The ball feeder 7F guides the game balls Y7 guided from the upper plate 71 side one by one to the launch position 7G at the lower end (right end) of the launch rail 7B. When the game ball Y7 guided to the launch position 7G is hit by the hitting portion 7H attached to the plunger 7E, the game ball Y7 is launched on the launch rail 7B. In addition, the substantially vertical cross section (vertical cross section substantially orthogonal to the path of the launch rail 7B) of the launch rail 7B is substantially V-shaped, and in the launch rail 7B, a fraud prevention device is provided at an intermediate position along the launch direction of the game ball. A mounting hole 7K in which 50B is mounted is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 37, the fraud prevention device 50B includes a housing 55a, a detection sensor 55b, an opening / closing member 55c, and a solenoid that drives the opening / closing member 55c (not shown; hereinafter referred to as an opening / closing solenoid). Prepare. Among these, the housing 55a has a substantially cylindrical shape having an inner diameter through which a game ball can pass, and is mounted on the firing rail 7B in a state where its axis is along the path of the firing rail 7B. In the inner wall portion of the housing 55a, a portion (hereinafter referred to as a passage forming portion) 55d disposed below is disposed substantially flush with the upper surface portion (portion through which the game ball passes) of the firing rail 7B. The opening / closing solenoid is driven by the main control device 81 (the main control device 81 is a drive control means). Also in the second embodiment, the open / close solenoid is used as the drive unit of the open / close member 55c, but other actuators such as a motor may be used.

  The housing 55a is arranged with the right end (lower end) facing the launch position 7G (toward the lower end of the launch rail 7B) and the left end (upper end) facing the lower end side of the guide rail 5E (upper end side of the launch rail 7B). Yes. Then, the game ball launched using the launching device 7C passes through the housing 55a in the axial direction from the right end (lower end) inlet 55e of the housing 55a toward the left end (upper end) outlet 55f. Then, it is guided toward the guide rail portion 7E.

  A step portion is provided at the inlet 55e of the housing 55a, and a detection sensor 55b is mounted. The detection sensor 55b can detect the entry of a game ball into the housing 55a. In addition, an opening 55g is provided near the exit 55f of the passage forming portion 55d so as to pass through the passage forming portion 55d, and a branch passage 55h into which a game ball can enter is connected to the opening 55g. Yes. The opening / closing member 55c operates like an opening / closing door with reference to a fulcrum portion 55j disposed at the edge near the outlet 55f of the opening 55g, and closes the opening 55g (second state); The state (first state) in which 55g is opened can be executed. A cushion material (for example, a rubber sheet material) 55k is attached to the lower surface of the opening / closing member 55c (the lower surface when the opening / closing member 55c is in a state of closing the opening 55g).

  Here, in the passage forming portion 55d, the introduction passage 55p is configured by a portion below (on the right side) the opening 55g. Further, in the passage forming portion 55d, a special passage SR is formed by a portion above (on the left side of) the communication hole 55e, and a normal passage NR is formed by the branch passage 55h. The distance P from the entrance 55e to the lower edge of the opening 55g (see FIG. 37) is a distance that requires a predetermined time if the speed of the game ball passing through the passage forming portion 55d is appropriate (below the predetermined speed). If the speed is inappropriate (a speed exceeding a predetermined speed), it is less than a predetermined time. Therefore, if the speed of the game ball detected by the detection sensor 55b is inappropriate, the opening 55g is opened when the game ball reaches the opening 55g (not closed by the opening / closing member 55c). ). On the other hand, if the speed is appropriate, the opening 55g is closed (closed by the opening / closing member 55c) when the game ball reaches the opening 55g. Here, the opening 55g and the opening / closing member 55c constitute a specific example of the sorting main body, and the opening / closing solenoid constitutes a specific example of the driving means. The main control device 81 constitutes a specific example of drive control means.

  Next, functions of the fraud prevention device 50B will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 38A, when a game ball launched using the launching device 7C detects entry into the introduction passage 55p (detection sensor 55b), the opening / closing member 55c opens the opening 55g and introduces it. A state (first state) is established in which the passage 55p communicates with the normal passage NR. If the game ball introduced into the introduction passage 55p is the first type oil ball, the speed of the game ball exceeds the predetermined speed, and the first type oil ball is positioned at the opening 55g before the predetermined time elapses. To reach. At this time, as shown in FIG. 38 (b), since the opening / closing member 55c opens the opening 55g, the first type oil balls that have passed through the introduction passage 55p are guided to the normal passage NR. In this way, since the first type oil ball is guided to the normal passage NR and can be made an out ball (because it is not guided to the special passage SR), the oil ball goto can be eliminated. Since the cushioning material 55k on the lower surface of the opening / closing member 55c that opens the opening 55g faces the inlet 55e, the first type oil ball that has passed through the introduction passage 55p collides with the cushioning material 55k, After the momentum declines, it is usually guided to the passage NR.

  On the other hand, when a legitimate game ball (a game ball other than the first type oil ball) tries to reach the opening 55g, the speed of the game ball is equal to or lower than a predetermined speed, and therefore, before the predetermined time elapses. Does not reach the opening 55g. That is, since the predetermined time has already passed when the launched game ball reaches the opening 55g, the opening / closing member 55c closes the opening 55g as shown in FIG. At this time, since the introduction passage 52p and the special passage SR are in communication via the opening / closing member 55c (because it is in the second state), the game ball that has entered the introduction passage 55p can be guided to the special passage SR. .

  To explain further with reference to FIG. 35, the game board 24 of the second embodiment is also provided with an inner rail part 5A and an outer rail part 5B similar to the game board 24 of the first embodiment. The game ball launched from the mechanism 7A is guided by the guide rail 5E, and can reach the upper part of the game area PE. A front door frame 14 similar to that of the first embodiment is provided so as to cover the entire front side of the inner frame 13. Similarly to the first embodiment, an upper bulging portion 65 and a lower bulging portion 66 that bulge to the near side are arranged in parallel vertically below the window portion 61 in the front door frame 14. .

<Electrical configuration>
Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10B of the second embodiment can also be described based on the block diagram of FIG. However, a detection sensor for detecting the passage through the through gate 35 is connected to the input port of the MPU 202. Then, the MPU 202 executes the support generation lottery based on the winning to the through gate 35. In addition, the output side of the MPU 202 is also connected to an electric accessory driving unit 34b that opens and closes the electric accessory 34a of the lower working port 34B. Then, when the open state of the electric combination 34a is won, drive control of the electric combination drive unit 34b is executed in the MPU 202 so that the electric combination 34a is opened and closed.

  The pachinko machine 10B of the second embodiment is the same as the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment with respect to the display content of the symbol display device 41 (see FIG. 12).

  The pachinko machine 10B according to the second embodiment also uses a jackpot random number counter C1, a jackpot type counter C2, a reach random number counter C3, a random number initial value counter CINI, and a variation type counter CS as counters used in the game. An accessory release counter C4 is provided (see parentheses in FIG. 13). In other words, the electric accessory release counter C4 used for the lottery to determine whether or not the electric accessory 34a of the lower working port 34B is set in the electric utility open state is provided.

  Similarly to the counters C1 to C3, CINI, and CS, the counter C4 is a loop counter in which 1 is added to the previous value each time it is updated, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. Each counter is updated at short time intervals, and the updated value is appropriately stored in a lottery counter buffer 231 set in a predetermined area of the RAM 204. The RAM 204 is provided with a reserved ball storage area 232 including a first result display area reservation area Ra, a second result display area reservation area Rb, an execution area AE, and a total number of reservations storage area. It should be noted that a so-called “result to be in the latent probability changing state” may be included as a distribution destination of game results for the big hit type counter C2.

  Here, also in the second embodiment, the contents of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, and the reach random number counter C3 are the same as those in the first embodiment. However, if a normal jackpot result occurs, the normal jackpot result is that the open / close execution mode is set to the high-frequency winning mode, and after the open / close execution mode ends, the success / failure lottery mode is set to the low probability mode and the support mode is set to high frequency. It is a jackpot result that becomes support mode. However, the high-frequency support mode shifts to the low-frequency support mode when the number of games reaches the end reference number (specifically, 100 times) after the shift. In other words, the normal jackpot result is a jackpot result for shifting the gaming state to the normal jackpot state (special gaming state corresponding to low probability).

  In addition, when a 2R probability variation jackpot result is generated, the open / close execution mode becomes the low-frequency winning mode, and after the open / close execution mode ends, the success / failure lottery mode becomes the high probability mode and the support mode becomes the high-frequency support mode. It is a jackpot result. The high-frequency support mode continues until the lottery result in the winning or failing lottery becomes a big hit state win and shifts to the big hit state by that. As a result of the so-called “latency probability changing state”, the open / close execution mode is set to the low-frequency winning mode, and after the open / close execution mode is completed, the success / failure lottery mode is set to the high probability mode and the support mode is set to the previous mode. The jackpot result maintained in the mode can be illustrated.

  Furthermore, when a 15R probability variation jackpot result is generated, the open / close execution mode becomes the high-frequency winning mode, and after the open / close execution mode ends, the success / failure lottery mode becomes the high probability mode and the support mode becomes the high-frequency support mode. It is a jackpot result. The high-frequency support mode continues until the lottery result in the winning or failing lottery becomes a big hit state win and shifts to the big hit state by that. In other words, the 15R probability variation jackpot result is a jackpot result in which the gaming state is shifted to the 15R probability variation jackpot state (a special gaming state corresponding to high probability). In the second embodiment as well, the normal gaming state in relation to each gaming state refers to a state in which the winning lottery mode is the low probability mode and the support mode is the low frequency support mode.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10B of the second embodiment, the distribution mode of the game result when the big win is won is based on the case where the big win is won based on the winning to the upper working port 33B, and the lower working port It is different from the case where a big win is won based on the winning of 34. By the way, in the low frequency support mode, it is difficult to win a prize to the lower operating port 34B as described above. However, in a pachinko machine that does not include the fraud prevention device 50B, the first type oil ball goto action When the game is performed, the probability of winning the lower working port 34B can be made higher than that of a legitimate game ball (if it is not the first type oil ball). For this reason, even in the case of the low frequency support mode, it is higher than usual to win a jackpot based on winning in the lower working port 34B, and there is a possibility of giving an undue profit to the actor.

  Here, as a support mode in the electric working item 34a of the lower working port 34B, when compared in a situation where the game ball is continuously being emitted in the same manner with respect to the game area, the electric role of the lower working port 34B is Low frequency support mode (low frequency support state or low frequency guide state) and high frequency support mode (high frequency support state or high frequency so that the frequency at which the object 34a is opened per unit time is relatively high. Guide state) is set.

  Specifically, in the low-frequency support mode and the high-frequency support mode, the probability of winning the power combination open state in the electric combination release lottery using the electric combination release counter C4 is the same (for example, both 4/5) However, in the high-frequency support mode, the number of times that the electric accessory 34a is opened when the electrified open state is won is set more than in the low-frequency support mode, and one more release is performed. The time is set longer. In this case, in the high frequency support mode, when the electrified open state is selected and the open state of the electric accessory 34a occurs a plurality of times, the closure from the end of one open state until the start of the next open state is performed. The time is set shorter than one opening time. Furthermore, in the high frequency support mode, the minimum secured time is set shorter when the next electric character opening lottery is performed after one electric character opening lottery is performed than in the low frequency support mode. Has been.

  As described above, in the high frequency support mode, there is a higher probability of winning the lower working port 34B than in the low frequency support mode. In other words, in the low frequency support mode, there is a higher probability of winning the upper working port 33B than the lower working port 34B. In the high frequency support mode, however, the lower working port 34B is more likely to receive the lower working port 34B. The probability of winning a prize increases. When a winning is made to the lower operating port 34B, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Therefore, in the high-frequency support mode, the player plays a game while not reducing the number of held balls so much. be able to.

  The configuration for increasing the frequency at which the high frequency support mode is set to the power release state per unit time as compared with the low frequency support mode is not limited to the above-described configuration, for example, the electric component release lottery It is good also as a structure which makes high the probability that it will be elected in the electric character open state in. Furthermore, the number of times of opening is increased, the opening time is lengthened, and the minimum secured time is secured when the next electric character opening lottery is performed after one electric character releasing lottery is performed. By applying any one condition or any combination of the conditions (that is, shortening the one-time variable display time in the accessory display unit 44) and increasing the winning probability, the low frequency support mode is applied. The advantage of the high frequency support mode may be increased.

  The electric accessory release counter C4 is, for example, configured to increment one by one within a range of 0 to 249 and return to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The electric accessory release counter C4 is periodically updated and stored in the electric combination holding area 233 of the RAM 204 at the timing when a game ball wins the through gate 35. Then, at a predetermined timing, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to control the electric accessory 34a to the open state based on the value of the stored electric accessory release counter C4. For example, if C4 = 0 to 199, the electric accessory 34a is controlled to the open state, and if C4 = 200 to 249, the electric accessory 34a is not controlled to the open state.

<Various processes executed by main controller 81>
Next, various processes executed by the main controller 81 in the pachinko machine 10B according to the embodiment will be described. Also in the second embodiment, description of the main process and the NMI interrupt process is omitted.

<Timer interrupt processing>
First, as shown in FIG. 39, in the timer interrupt process of the second embodiment, the electric accessory release counter C4 is updated in step S103B, and the passage of S105B instead of the through passage process of step S105. Unlike the timer interrupt process of the first embodiment, the detection process and the point-through winning process of step S106 are added, and the other points are the same as the timer interrupt process of the first embodiment. . Hereinafter, the process in step S103B, the passage detection process in step S105B, and the winning winning process in S106 will be described. Note that the timer interrupt process of the third embodiment described later is different from the timer interrupt process of the second embodiment in that the passage detection process of step S105B is not performed.

<Process of Step S103B>
In step S103B, the big hit random number counter C1, the big hit type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the electric accessory release counter C4 are updated. Specifically, the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot type counter C2, the reach random number counter C3, and the electric accessory release counter C4 are each incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter values reach the maximum value. Then, the updated values of the counters C1 to C4 are stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 204.

<Pass detection process>
Next, the passage detection process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S401B, it is determined whether or not a game ball has been introduced from the entrance 55e to the fraud prevention device 50B. Here, whether or not a game ball is introduced from the entrance 55e (whether or not it has entered) is determined by determining whether or not the detection sensor 55b provided at the entrance 55e has detected a game ball. Can do. However, even if the game balls are continuously fired as described above, the interval between the game balls entering the entrance 55e (the launch interval of the game balls) is a sufficient length (0.6 second interval). In the through process for through according to the second embodiment, only one flag is used as the pass flag. This passage flag is stored when the detection sensor 55b detects a game ball, and is erased when a release preparation flag described later is set.

  If the determination in step S401B is affirmative, in step S402B, a passage flag is set in the passage flag storage area, and the passage processing is terminated. On the other hand, if the determination in step S401B is negative, the main passage process is terminated.

<Winning winning process>
Next, the through winning process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S411B, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won the through gate 35. If it is determined that the game ball has won the through gate 35, the process proceeds to step S412B, and it is determined whether or not the accessory reserve storage number SN is less than the upper limit value (4 in the present embodiment).

  If it is not determined in step S411B that a game ball has won the through gate 35, or if it is determined in step S412B that the value of the reserved item storage number SN is greater than or equal to the upper limit value, the value of the electric accessory release counter C4 The prize winning process is terminated without storing.

  On the other hand, on the condition that the game ball wins the through gate 35 and that the accessory reservation storage number SN <4, the process proceeds to step S413B, and the accessory reservation storage number SN is incremented by one. Subsequently, in step S414B, the value of the electric accessory release counter C4 updated in step S103B is stored in the first area of the free storage area of the electric utility reservation area 233 of the RAM 204. Thereafter, the main winning process is terminated.

  In the through winning process, a process for turning on the third holding lamp unit 47 is executed. The third hold lamp unit 47 is sequentially lit from the left side. For example, if the accessory reservation storage number SN is 1, the leftmost third reservation lamp unit 47 is turned on and the accessory reservation storage number SN is If it is 4, all the 3rd holding | maintenance lamp | ramp parts 47 will be lighted.

<Normal processing>
In the normal processing of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 41, the contents of the transition processing at the end of the open / close mode constituting the gaming state transition processing in step 506 are different, and instead of the electric power driving processing in step S507. In addition, the point of performing the power combination support process of step 507B and the point of performing the distribution process of step 508B are different from the normal process of the first embodiment. Note that the normal processing of the third embodiment described later is different from the normal processing of the second embodiment in that the distribution processing in step 508B is not performed.

<Game state transition processing>
In the pachinko machine 10B of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 42, in the transition process at the end of the open / close mode constituting the gaming state transition process, the processes of step 1203B, step 1203C, step 1205 to step 1207 are added. This is different from the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment. That is, in the transition process at the end of the opening / closing mode of the second embodiment, a change corresponding to providing a difference in the support mode for the lower working port 34B (ordinary electric accessory) is performed.

  First, in step S1201, it is determined whether or not the 15R probability variation flag or the 2R probability variation flag is stored in the RAM 204. If any flag is stored, in step S1202, a flag erasure process for erasing information for specifying the gaming state is executed. Specifically, when the opening / closing execution mode flag, the high probability mode flag, and the high frequency support flag are stored, they are deleted, and when they are not already stored, the states are maintained. In the subsequent step S1203, the high probability mode flag is stored, and in step S1203B, the high frequency support flag is stored. As a result, the gaming state shifts to a gaming state in which the success / failure lottery mode is the high probability mode and the support mode is the high frequency support mode. Note that these high probability mode and high frequency support mode are maintained at least until the next big win is won.

  In subsequent step S1203C, a high-frequency support command (high-frequency support setting information) that is information for causing the sub-side control device to recognize that the support mode is the high-frequency support mode is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 82. Set as the target command. Thereafter, the migration process ends.

  If it is determined in step S1201 that both the 15R probability variation flag and the 2R probability variation flag are not stored, this means that the current opening / closing execution mode is performed based on the fact that the normal jackpot flag is stored. To do. In this case, the processing from step S1204 to step S1207 is executed. That is, in step S1204, the flag erasing process is executed. Thereafter, in step S1205, the high frequency support flag is stored, and in step S1206, “100” is set in the game number counter area provided in the various counter areas 234 of the RAM 204. As a result, the gaming state shifts to a gaming state in which the success / failure lottery mode is the low probability mode and the support mode is the high frequency support mode. However, the high-frequency support mode is ended when the number of game times continues 100 times, and thereafter, a transition is made to a normal game state in which the success / failure lottery mode is the low probability mode and the support mode is the low-frequency support mode.

  In subsequent step S1207, a high-frequency support command (high-frequency support setting information), which is information for allowing the sub-side control device to recognize that the support mode is the high-frequency support mode, is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 82. Set as the target command. Thereafter, the migration process ends.

  Incidentally, the high frequency support command set in step S1203C or step S1207 is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 82 in step S501 in the normal process (FIG. 41). The voice lamp control device 82 transmits the high frequency support command and the low frequency support command to the display control device 212 as they are. Based on the reception of the high frequency support command, the display control device 212 specifies that the support mode is the high frequency support mode, and executes processing corresponding to the support mode.

  Returning to the description of the gaming state transition process (FIG. 27), after the transition process at the end of the opening / closing execution mode in step S1112 is terminated, a round display termination process is performed in step S1113.

<Telephone support processing>
Next, the electric role support process in step S506 will be described with reference to the flowcharts in FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, in the electric power support process, first, in step S1601, it is determined whether or not support is being performed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a supporting flag is stored in a supporting flag storage area provided in various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204. The in-support flag is a flag that is stored when the electric accessory 34a of the lower working port 34B is opened, and is erased when returning to the closed state.

  If no supporting flag is stored, the process advances to step S1602 to determine whether or not a support winning flag is stored in a support winning flag storage area provided in various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204. The support winning flag is a flag that is stored when the open state is won in the lottery for determining whether or not the electric accessory 34a is in the open state, and is deleted when the supporting flag is stored.

  If the support winning flag is not stored, the process advances to step S1603 to determine whether or not the value of the second timer area T2 provided in the various counter areas 234 of the RAM 204 is “0”. If the value of the second timer area T2 is not “0”, the main role support process is terminated.

  If the value of the second timer area T2 is “0”, it is determined in step S1604 whether it is the end timing of the variable display of the pattern on the accessory display unit 44. If it is the end timing of the variable display, in step S1605, after setting the out-of-line display, the main role support process is ended. By setting the out-of-display, the variable display of the pattern on the accessory display unit 44 is terminated in a state where the out-of-display is stopped.

  If the value of the second timer area T2 is “0” and it is not the end timing of the variable display, it is determined in step S1606 whether or not the value of the accessory reservation storage number SN is greater than “0”. When the value of the stored item reservation memory number SN is “0”, the main character support process is terminated as it is. If the value of the reserved item storage number SN is greater than “0”, it is determined in step S1607 whether or not the opening / closing execution mode is in progress, and in step S1608 it is determined whether or not the high frequency support mode is in effect. .

  If it is not the opening / closing execution mode and the high-frequency support mode, the open lottery is performed in step S1609. Specifically, when the value stored in the accessory holding ball storage area is shifted and the value of the electric accessory release counter C4 shifted to the execution area is 0 to 190, the winning lottery is selected. Become. At the same time as the open lottery, “750” (that is, 1.5 sec) is set in the second timer area T2. The second accessory timer area T2 is decremented by 1 every time the timer interrupt process is activated.

  In subsequent step S1610, it is determined whether or not the result of the open lottery in step S1609 is a support winning. If it is not a support win, the process proceeds to step S1612 without executing the processing of step S1611. If it is a support win, a support win flag is stored in step S1611 and provided in various counter areas 234 of the RAM 204. After setting “3” in the second round counter area RC2, the process proceeds to step S1612.

  In step S1612, it is determined whether or not the lottery mode is the low probability mode and the support mode is the high frequency support mode. If a negative determination is made in step S1612, the main role support process is terminated as it is. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1612, it is determined in step S1613 whether or not the game number counter area is “0”. The game number counter is decremented by 1 every time one game time is completed in the low probability mode and the high frequency support mode.

  If the game number counter area is not “0”, the main role support process is terminated. If the game number counter area is “0”, the high frequency support flag is erased in step S1614. In the subsequent step S1615, a low frequency support command (low frequency support setting information), which is information for allowing the sub-side control device to recognize that the support mode is the low frequency support mode, is transmitted to the voice lamp control device 82. Set as the target command. Thereafter, the main role support processing is terminated.

  The low frequency support command set in step S1615 is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 82 in step S501 in the normal process (FIG. 16). The sound lamp control device 82 transmits the low frequency support command to the display control device 212 as it is. Based on the reception of the low frequency support command, the display control device 212 specifies that the support mode is the low frequency support mode, and executes processing corresponding thereto.

  If it is in the opening / closing execution mode or not in the high frequency support mode, an open lottery is performed in step S1616. Specifically, when the value stored in the accessory holding ball storage area is shifted and the value of the electric accessory release counter C4 shifted to the execution area is 0 to 190, the winning lottery is selected. Become. Simultaneously with the open lottery, “14750” (that is, 29.5 sec) is set in the second timer area T2.

  In a succeeding step S1617, it is determined whether or not the result of the open lottery in the step S1616 is a support winning. If the support is not won, the main role support process is terminated. In the case of support winning, the support winning flag is stored in step S1618, and “1” is set in the second round counter area RC2, and then the main role supporting process is terminated.

  If the support winning flag is stored, an affirmative determination is made in step S1602, and the process advances to step S1619 to determine whether or not the value of the second timer area T2 is “0”. When the value of the second timer area T2 is not “0”, since the variation display of the picture on the accessory display unit 44 is being performed, the main character support process is terminated as it is. If the value of the second timer area T2 is “0”, a win display is set in step S1620. As a result, the display of the variation of the pattern in the accessory display unit 44 is terminated in a state where the winning display is stopped. In the subsequent step S1621, the supporting flag is stored, and after the support winning flag is deleted, the main role support processing is terminated.

  If the in-supporting flag is stored, the process proceeds to step S1622, and after performing the electric combination opening / closing process for opening / closing the electric combination 34a, the electric combination support process is terminated. The electric role opening / closing control process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step S1701, it is determined whether or not the electric accessory 34a is being opened. Whether or not the electric accessory 34a is being opened is determined by whether or not the electric accessory driving unit 34b is in a driving state. If the electric accessory 34a is opened, the process proceeds to step S1702, and it is determined whether or not the value of the second timer area T2 is “0”.

  When the value of the second timer area T2 is not “0”, the main utility opening / closing process is terminated as it is. If the value of the second timer area T2 is “0”, the process proceeds to step S1703 to perform a closing process for controlling the electric accessory 34a to the closed state, and “250” (that is, 0.5 sec) is set in the second timer area T2. ) Is set.

  Thereafter, in step S1704, after the value of the second round counter area RC2 is decremented by 1, it is determined in step S1705 whether or not the value of the second round counter area RC2 is “0”. When the value of the second round counter area RC2 is not “0”, the main utility opening / closing process is terminated, and when the value of the second round counter area RC2 is “0”, the supporting flag is deleted. After that, the main role opening / closing process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the electric accessory 34a is not open, a negative determination is made in step S1701, and the process proceeds to step S1707. In step S1707, it is determined whether or not the second timer area T2 is “0”. When the second timer area T2 is not “0”, the main utility opening / closing process is terminated as it is. If the second timer area T2 is “0”, in step S1708, an opening process for controlling the electric accessory 34a to the opened state is executed.

  Thereafter, in step S1709, it is determined whether or not it is in the opening / closing execution mode, and in step S1710, it is determined whether or not it is the high frequency support mode. If it is not the opening / closing execution mode and the high-frequency support mode is set, “800” (that is, 1.6 sec) is set in the second timer area T2 in step S1711, and then the electric utility opening / closing process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is in the opening / closing execution mode or not in the high frequency support mode, “100” (that is, 0.2 sec) is set in the second timer area T2 in step S1712, and then the main utility opening / closing process is terminated. .

<Distribution processing>
Next, the distribution process in step S508B will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. In this distribution process, it is determined in step S1301B whether or not a passage flag is set. Specifically, the process of step S1301B can be performed by determining whether or not the passage flag is stored in the passage flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204.

  When an affirmative determination is made in the process of step S1301B, in the process of step S1302B, the process of deleting the passage flag, the process of setting the discharge permission flag, and the discharged game ball is discharged (guided) into the normal passage NR. A process for starting the discharge operation and a process for setting a predetermined value to the discharge end timer TU are performed. Then, when the process of step S1302B is executed, the distribution process ends. Here, the process of starting the discharge operation of discharging (inducing) the game ball into the normal passage NR is a process of changing the fraud prevention device 50B from the second state to the first state.

  If a negative determination is made in the process of step S1301B, it is determined whether a discharge permission flag is set in step S1303B. Specifically, the process of step S1303B can be performed by determining whether or not a permission flag is stored in the discharge permission flag storage area in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204. Here, the discharge permission flag is “a flag indicating that the fired game ball is permitted to be guided to the normal passage NR”. In the second embodiment, when the passage flag is canceled, the discharge permission flag is set.

  Here, the game ball is discharged into the normal passage NR by driving the opening / closing member 55c with an opening / closing solenoid, opening the opening 55g, and allowing the game ball that has passed through the introduction passage 55p to enter the normal passage NR. Executed. The discharge end timer TU is decremented by 1 every time the normal process is started. In the second embodiment, the value (predetermined value) set in the discharge end timer TU is determined based on the operation amount of the firing handle 8A. That is, as shown in FIG. 46B, when the operation amount of the launching handle 8A is small and the launching speed of the game ball is relatively slow (so-called “left-handed”), the discharging operation is performed at time T1. When the operation amount of the firing handle 8A is large and the firing speed of the game ball is relatively slow (so-called “right-handed”), the discharging operation is performed for a time T2 (however, the time T2 is longer than the time T1). Set to end at (time).

  If the passage flag and the discharge permission flag are not set, the sorting process is ended as it is. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1303B that the discharge permission flag is set, it is determined in step S1304B whether or not the discharge end timer TU has reached a predetermined value (whether or not the discharge operation end timing has come). To do. If a negative determination is made in step S1304B, the distribution process is terminated as it is. In this case, the discharging operation is further continued. However, if the game ball detected by the detection sensor 55b is the first type oil ball, the speed of the game ball exceeds the predetermined speed, so that the predetermined time has not elapsed. In addition, the first type oil ball collides with the cushion material 55k. And it is induced | guided | derived to the normal channel | path NR through the opening part 55g, and can be set as an out ball | bowl.

  On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1304B, in step S1305B, a process for ending the discharge operation and a process for erasing the discharge permission flag are executed, and the distribution process ends. In this case, if the game sphere detected by the detection sensor 55b is a regular sphere (legitimate sphere), the speed of the game sphere is equal to or less than a predetermined speed, so that the game sphere arrives at the opening 55g after a predetermined time has elapsed. . Therefore, the game ball passes over the opening / closing member 55c and is guided to the special passage SR.

  According to the pachinko machine 10B of the second embodiment described in detail above, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects of the first embodiment. That is, since the fraud prevention device 50B is arranged on the path through which the game ball fired by the launching device 7C always passes (on the path formed by the firing rail 7B), the first type oil ball can be more reliably excluded. Specifically, in response to the detection sensor 55b detecting that the game ball launched by the launching device 7C has entered the fraud prevention device 50B, the opening / closing member 55c opens the opening 55g. Open (becomes the first state). Then, when the predetermined time has elapsed, the opening / closing member 55c closes the opening 55g (becomes the second state), but the ball speed of the game ball launched by the launching device 7C is influenced by the oil content attached to the game ball. If it is unexpectedly fast, the game ball reaches the open opening 55g before the predetermined time elapses, so that the first type oil ball is guided to the normal passage NR.

  Moreover, according to the pachinko machine 10B of the second embodiment, when the first type oil ball is fired by the launching device 7C, the part located on the start end side in the path of the game ball (on the way of the launch rail 7B) ), The first type oil ball is discharged, so that the range in which the pachinko machine 10B is contaminated with oil can be stopped in a narrow range. In other words, since the gaming machine in which the first type oil ball is used without using the fraud prevention device 50B is contaminated with the oil, the pachinko hall clerk and the cleaning person after the pachinko hall business ends from the pachinko machine 10B. The trouble of wiping off the oil increases. However, according to the pachinko machine 10B provided with the fraud prevention device 50B of the second embodiment, even if the first type oil ball goto is performed, the first type oil ball does not reach the game area PE. The trouble of cleaning (wiping off oil, etc.) does not increase.

(1) In 2nd Embodiment, although the aspect which has arrange | positioned the fraud prevention apparatus 50B in the launch rail 7B was illustrated, as a position which arrange | positions the fraud prevention apparatus 50B, ie, a "position where the game ball to be surely passes" Can illustrate other positions. For example, the fraud prevention device 50B is disposed at the position (guidance rail 5E) indicated by the virtual line V1 in FIG. 35 (hereinafter referred to as modification 4), or the position indicated by the virtual line V2 in FIG. For example, it may be arranged (hereinafter referred to as modified example 5) at a position near the end of 5E. In the second embodiment, the fraud prevention device 50B is arranged at a position where the game ball launched from the game ball launching mechanism 7A always passes. However, even if the fraud prevention device 50B is arranged at a position where the probability of passing is high. Good.

(2) It is possible to exemplify a mode in which the fraud prevention means is arranged at a position other than the position near the end of the guide rail 5E in the game area PE. For example, as shown in the modified example 6 shown in FIG. 47, the fraud prevention means 150B through which the game ball flowing down the left-handed region L always passes and the fraud prevention means 151B through which the game ball flowing down the right-handed region R always passes. A pachinko machine provided with can be illustrated. That is, the fraud prevention means 150B includes a detection sensor 152B provided on the upper end side of the left-handed region L, and a recovery device 153B provided at a predetermined interval below the detection sensor 152B. The fraud prevention means 151B includes a detection sensor 154B provided on the upper end side of the right-handed region R, and a recovery device 155B provided at a predetermined interval below the detection sensor 154B. Here, the fraud prevention means 150B and 151B also constitute a specific example of “distribution means”.

  The detection sensor 152B is provided with a width capable of detecting all the game balls flowing down the left-handed region L, and the detection sensor 154B is provided with a width capable of detecting all of the game balls flowing down the right-hand region R. The collection devices 153B and 155B include collection ports 156B and 157B that lead to the back side of the game board 24, and opening / closing doors 158B and 159B that open and close the collection ports 156B and 157B. Each of the open / close doors 158B and 159B is connected to a drive unit such as a solenoid provided on the back side of the game board 24, and normally the game ball is in a state of closing the collection ports 156B and 157B. In the game area PE, a portion between the detection sensors 152B and 154B and the collection devices 153B and 155B is an introduction passage, and a lower portion of the collection devices 153B and 155B is a special passage. A normal passage is provided behind the recovery ports 156B and 157B.

  In this modified example 6, when the detection sensor 152B detects a game ball, the open / close door 158B rotates forward with respect to the lower fulcrum, and is tilted forward, and the recovery port 156B is opened. When the first predetermined time elapses after the detection sensor 152B detects the game ball, the open / close door 158B rotates rearward with respect to the lower fulcrum and takes a standing posture, and the recovery port 156B is closed. Therefore, if the game ball flowing down the left region L is the first type oil ball, the game ball reaches the recovery port 156B (opening / closing door 158B) before the first predetermined time elapses. The sphere enters the recovery port 156B and is guided to the normal passage. On the other hand, if the game ball flowing down the left region L is a legitimate ball, the game ball reaches the recovery port 156B (opening / closing door 158B) after the first predetermined time has elapsed, so that the game ball is recovered by the recovery port 156B. It passes through (the front part of the open / close door 158B) and is guided to a special passage.

  Further, when the detection sensor 154B detects a game ball, the open / close door 159B rotates forward with respect to the lower fulcrum and assumes a forward leaning posture, thereby opening the recovery port 157B. When the second predetermined time elapses after the detection sensor 154 detects the game ball, the open / close door 159B rotates backward with reference to the lower fulcrum, and the recovery port 157B is closed. Therefore, if the game ball flowing down the right region R is the first type oil ball, the game ball reaches the discharge port 157B (opening / closing door 159B) before the second predetermined time elapses. The sphere enters the discharge port 157B and is guided to the normal passage. On the other hand, if the game ball flowing down the right region R is a legitimate ball, the game ball reaches the collection port 157B (opening / closing door 159B) after the second predetermined time has elapsed, so the game ball is collected at the collection port 157B. It passes through (the front part of the open / close door 159B) and is guided to a special passage.

  For this reason, the same effect as 2nd Embodiment can be acquired also by the modification 6. FIG. Even when the fraud prevention means 150B is provided in the left-handed area L and the fraud prevention means 151B is provided in the right-handed area R as in the modification 6, the ball speed of the game ball flowing down the right-handed area R is Generally, it becomes faster than the ball speed of the game ball flowing down the hitting region L. Therefore, the first predetermined time may be longer than the second predetermined time, or the distance between the detection sensor 152B and the recovery port 158B may be shorter than the distance between the detection sensor 154B and the recovery port 157B.

  In the modified example 6, when the flow velocity of the game ball is faster than planned, the game ball is collected by the collection devices 153B and 155B, and when the flow velocity is lower than the planned velocity, the front portion of the collection devices 153B and 155B. Although the aspect which passes is illustrated, another specific example can also be illustrated. For example, in the game area PE, discharge routes X1 and X2 are provided near the inner rail portion 5A to allow the game balls to flow toward the out port 37. In addition, a flow direction change projection that can be moved back and forth by a solenoid or the like is provided at the position of the recovery devices 153B and 155B. Then, when in the second state, the flow direction changing projection is retracted, the front portion of the flow direction changing projection is substantially flush with the game area PE, and the game ball that has passed through the detection sensors 152B, 154B becomes the flow direction changing projection. It passes through the front part and is guided to a special passage. On the other hand, in the first state, the flow direction changing protrusion is advanced, and the flow direction changing protrusion is protruded forward from the game area PE. When the game ball that has passed through the detection sensors 152B and 154B reaches the upper surface portion of the flow direction changing projection (the upper surface portion is the left inclined surface for the left flow direction changing projection and the right inclined surface for the right flow direction changing projection). Then, it is guided by a downward inclined surface to the inner rail portion 5A of the upper surface portion, and is guided to the discharge route (X1 or X2). When the speed at which the game ball flows down the portions (introduction passages) between the detection sensors 152B and 154B and the flow direction changing protrusion exceeds the predetermined speed, the flow direction changing protrusion protrudes and is discharged through the discharge routes X1 and X2. , Discharged from the outlet 37. On the other hand, when the speed at which the game ball flows down the portion (introduction passage) between the detection sensors 152B and 154B and the flow direction change projection is below the predetermined speed, the flow direction change projection is retracted, and the game ball is moved to the special path. You may be guided to.

  Thus, the mode of the anti-tamper means provided at the position where the game ball launched from the game ball launching mechanism 7A always passes is not limited to the mode shown in the second embodiment. Further, in the first embodiment, when the opening at the end of the introduction passage is closed, the introduction passage and the normal passage are communicated, and when the opening is opened, the introduction passage and the special passage are communicated. In the embodiment, the opening passage at the end of the introduction passage is opened, the introduction passage and the normal passage are communicated, and when the opening is closed, the introduction passage and the special passage are communicated. As described above, the modes of the sorting unit (tamper prevention unit) and the sorting main body are not limited to the modes illustrated in the embodiments.

  Next, functions of the fraud prevention apparatus of the application example 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 37 and FIG. In this application example 2, the purpose is to remove a delay ball (for example, the second type oil ball). In this application example 2, the state of the fraud prevention device 50B is detected by the detection sensor 55b. Then, it will be in a 2nd state until specific time passes (it will be set as the 2nd state which closed the opening part 55g). And if specific time passes after detection sensor 55b detects a game ball, fraud prevention device 50B will be in the 1st state (the 1st state which opened opening 55g).

  If the game ball introduced into the introduction passage 55p is a valid game ball (a normal ball that is not the second oil ball), the speed of the game ball exceeds a specific speed, and thus before a specific time (t1 second) elapses. The game ball passes over the opening / closing member 55c that closes the opening 55b. That is, if the game ball is a valid game ball, the speed of the game ball exceeds a specific speed, so the game ball passes over the opening / closing member 55c and enters a special passage (SR in FIGS. 37 to 38). Be guided.

  On the other hand, when the delay ball (for example, the second type oil ball) reaches the opening 55g, the speed of the game ball is equal to or lower than the specific speed, so that the specific time (t1 second) is The game ball does not reach the opening 55g. That is, since the specific time elapses before the game ball reaches the opening 55g, the game ball is guided to the normal passage (NR in FIGS. 37 to 38) through the already opened opening 55g. Is done. For this reason, since the delay sphere (for example, the second type oil sphere) can be the out sphere (because it is not guided to the special passage SR in FIGS. 37 to 38), the delay sphere goto (for example, the second type Oil ball goto) can be eliminated.

(Third embodiment)
Also in the third embodiment, an example of a “pachinko machine” will be described in detail based on the drawings. This pachinko machine C is provided with a time limit for entering the advantageous entry part. However, the description of the same configuration as that of the first embodiment is basically omitted.

  A pachinko machine 10C according to the third embodiment includes an outer frame 11 similar to the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment, and a gaming machine main body 12. However, the board surface configuration of the game board 24 of the third embodiment is different from the board surface configuration of the game board 24 of the first embodiment as described below. The configuration on the back side of the pachinko machine 10C of the third embodiment is the same as the configuration on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment.

  Here, the structure of the game board 24 which comprises the pachinko machine 10C of 3rd Embodiment is demonstrated based on FIG. The game board 24 is formed with a plurality of large and small openings penetrating in the front-rear direction by being subjected to router processing. Each opening has a general winning port 31, a first variable winning device 32C, a second variable winning device 32D, a first working port (first starting ball entering portion) 33C, and a second working port (second starting ball entering portion). 34C, a through gate 35, a variable display unit 36, a main display unit 43, a display unit 44 for an accessory, and the like are provided.

  Further, on the back side of the game board 24, a detection sensor (corresponding to each of the general winning port 31, the first variable winning device 32C, the second variable winning device 32D, the first operating port 33C, and the second operating port 34C). (Not shown) is provided, and if a ball enters the general winning port 31, the first variable winning device 32C, the second variable winning device 32D, the first operating port 33C, and the second operating port 34C, it responds. The predetermined number of prize balls are paid out based on the detection result. In this case, when a game is entered into the general prize opening 31, 10 game balls are paid out, and a game is entered into the first variable prize winning device 32C or the second variable prize winning device 32D. 15 game balls are paid out, and when a ball enters the first operation port 33C, three game balls are paid out and a ball enters the second operation port 34C. In this case, four game balls are paid out. The number of game balls to be paid out is not limited to the above.

  In addition, an out port 37 is provided at the lowermost part of the game board 24, and game balls that have not entered various winning ports etc. are discharged from the game area PE through the out port 37. The game board 24 is provided with a large number of nails 38 in order to disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game ball as appropriate, and various members (functions) such as a windmill.

  The first working port (first starting ball entering portion) 33C is disposed between the center frame 42 and the out port 37, and the second working port (second starting ball entering portion) 34C is disposed in the right-handed region R. ing. Further, the first working port (first starting ball entering portion) 33C and the second working port (second starting ball entering portion) 34C are both opened upward. In addition, the second working port (second starting ball entering portion) 34C is provided with an electric accessory 34a as a guide piece made up of a pair of left and right movable pieces. In addition, the arrangement | positioning location of the 1st operation port 33C and the 2nd operation port 34C is not limited to the location shown in 3rd Embodiment, For example, the 1st operation port 33C and the 2nd operation port are located up and down of the center lower part of game area PE. 34C may be arranged.

  The first variable winning device 32C is disposed below the first operating port (first starting pitching portion) 33C, and includes a first big winning port 32a leading to the back side of the game board 24, and An open / close door 32b for opening and closing the big prize opening 32a is provided. The open / close door 32b is connected to a drive unit such as a solenoid provided on the back side of the game board 24, and is normally in a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won or is difficult to win. The game ball can be switched to a predetermined open state in which it is easy for a prize to be won when a shift to (open / close execution state) is won.

  Here, the opening / closing execution mode is a mode to be shifted to when a big win is won. The opening / closing execution mode will be described in detail later. As an opening mode of the first variable prize winning device 32C, the first variable prize winning device has a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, ten) of winnings as one round, and a plurality of rounds (for example, 15 rounds) as an upper limit. There is an aspect in which 32C is repeatedly opened.

  The second variable winning device 32D is provided in the center frame 42. As shown in FIGS. 48 and 49, the second variable winning device 32 </ b> D is provided with a second big prize opening 32 e by notching the upper right portion of the center frame 42, and a second big prize winning is provided inside the center frame 42. A game ball passage 42b through which the game ball won in the mouth 32e passes is provided.

  On the upper right portion of the center frame 42, an opening / closing member (opening / closing blade) 32f that opens and closes the second big prize opening 32e is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to a fulcrum on the lower end side. The second variable winning device 32D can be switched between a closed state in which the second big prize opening 32e is closed and an open state in which the second big prize opening 32e is opened. Here, the opening / closing member 32f is connected to a variable winning drive unit (specifically, a solenoid) provided on the back side of the game board 24. In the normal state, the opening / closing member 32f closes the second grand prize opening 32e, and the closed state is such that the game ball cannot be entered (see the broken line in FIG. 49). On the other hand, when the opening / closing member 32f rotates in the clockwise direction with respect to the fulcrum, the game ball enters an open state in which the game ball can enter (see the solid line in FIG. 49). Further, when the second variable winning device 32D is in the open state, the opening / closing member 32f is inclined to the right with respect to the fulcrum, and constitutes a guide member that guides the game ball flowing down the game area PE to the second big winning port 32e. To do.

  In the pachinko machine 10C of the third embodiment, the second variable winning device 32D can be switched between an open state in which a game ball can be entered and a closed state in which a ball cannot be entered. The second variable winning device 32D can be switched between an open state in which a game ball can be easily entered and a closed state in which the game ball cannot be entered. In the third embodiment, the second variable winning device 32D exemplifies a blade-type opening / closing member. However, the opening / closing member may be an opening / closing door as in the second variable winning device 32C (an attacker type may be used). ).

  Further, in the second variable winning device 32D of the third embodiment, the open / close door is maintained in a closed state in a normal state, and a special win, which will be described later, was won in an internal lottery based on a ball entering the second operating port 34C. In this case, the lottery result confirmation mode can be switched. Here, the lottery result determination mode means that the lottery result (special hit) at the second operating port 34C is valid and the first variable winning device 32C is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode, that is, the transition to the opening / closing execution mode. Is determined or whether the lottery result is invalid and the transition to the opening / closing execution mode is avoided.

  As shown in FIG. 49, the center frame 42 includes a fraud prevention device 50D. This fraud prevention device 50D also shows another specific example of the allocating means, and among the game balls that have flowed down the game area PE, the destination of the one that won the second big prize opening 32e is designated as a normal passage NR or a special passage. It is for distributing to SR.

  The center frame 42 is provided with a game ball passage 42b with the second grand prize opening 32e as an entrance. The game ball passage 42b has a slightly left-inclined inclined surface in the center frame 42, and a detection sensor 211g is provided near the second big prize opening 32e in the game ball passage 42b. The back side of the game ball passage 42b is a recess 59c, and the game ball guided to the recess 59c is discharged out of the pachinko machine 10C. Further, an opening 59d that opens downward is provided in the middle of the game ball passage 42b (in the middle of the detection sensor 211g and the recess 59c), and the opening 59d is opened and closed by a shutter 59e. A special passage SR is provided below the opening 59d, and the terminal of the special passage SR is branched into a first passage E1 and a second passage E2. Further, in the game ball passage 42b, the side closer to the recess 59c than the opening 59d is the normal passage NR.

  The terminal of the special passage SR is provided with a switching member 59f that communicates the special passage SR with the first passage E1 or the second passage E2. The first passage E1 is provided with a normal region, and the second passage E2 is provided with a special region (so-called “V zone”). In addition, a drive unit (a solenoid can be exemplified but not shown) is disposed behind the switching member 59f, and this drive unit swings the switching member 59f to connect the special passage SR to the first passage E1 and specially. A non-induction state in which the passage SR is not in communication with the second passage E2 and a guidance state in which the special passage SR is in communication with the second passage E2 and the special passage SR is in communication with the first passage E1 are executed.

  A drive unit (not shown) is disposed behind the opening 59d, and the shutter 59e connected to the drive unit is driven by the drive unit. In the third embodiment, a solenoid is used as the drive unit, but other actuators such as a motor may be used. In addition, a warning (by sound, light, etc.) may be given every time it is guided to the recess 59c, or a warning (by sound, light, etc.) may be given when the frequency of being guided to the recess 59c is more than a certain level. (Described later).

  Next, functions of the fraud prevention device 50D will be described. The game ball that has entered (introduced) into the game ball passage 42b through the second grand prize opening 32e rolls in the direction of the shutter 59e using the downward slope of the game ball passage 42b. When a legitimate game ball (a game ball other than the first type oil ball) reaches the opening 59d, the drive unit is driven to open the opening 59d. That is, since the legitimate game ball has a slow ball speed, the shutter 59e has already opened the opening 59d when it reaches the opening 59d. For this reason, the game ball passage 42b and the special passage SR communicate with each other through the opening 59d, and the game ball rolling on the game ball passage 42b (introduction route) can be guided to the special passage SR. In contrast, if the game ball that has entered (introduced) into the game ball passage 42b (introduction path) is the first type oil ball, it passes over the shutter 59f before the drive unit is driven. That is, since the first type oil ball has a high ball speed, the shutter 59e opens the opening 59d after the first type oil ball passes over the shutter 59f. Therefore, the first type oil ball is guided in the order of the normal passage NR and the recess 59c in the game ball passage 42b.

  Also in the pachinko machine 10C of the third embodiment, the configurations of the main display unit 43, the accessory display unit 44, and the decorative member 39 are the same as those of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment. In addition, the main display unit 43 displays the first variable winning device in the opening / closing execution mode when the first variable winning device 32 </ b> C enters the opening / closing execution mode by winning the big win. Round display section RS for clearly indicating the number of times the 32C first big prize opening 32a is opened, and a first result for clearly indicating the result of the internal lottery performed based on the winning to the first working opening 33C The display part AS and the second result display part BS for clearly indicating the result of the internal lottery performed based on the winning to the second working port 34C are set.

  In other words, the first result display unit AS displays the variation of the picture triggered by the winning of the first operating port 33C, and the internal result that is displayed based on the winning of the first operating port 33C as a stop result of the variation display. The result of the lottery will be specified. When the result of the internal lottery based on the winning of the first operating port 33C is a winning result corresponding to the shift to the opening / closing execution mode, the variable display is stopped in the first result display section AS, and a predetermined result is set as the stop result. After the pattern is displayed, the mode is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode.

  In the second result display section BS, the display of the variation of the picture is performed by using the winning at the second operating port 34C as a trigger, and the internal display performed based on the winning at the second operating port 34C as a stop result of the variation display. The result of the lottery will be specified. When the result of the internal lottery based on the winning to the second operating port 34C is a winning result corresponding to the big win or special win, the variable display is stopped at the second result display unit BS, and a predetermined result is given as the stop result. After the picture is displayed, the mode is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode or the lottery result determination mode according to the result. Here, on the basis of winning at any one of the operation ports 33C, 34C, the display of variation is started at the corresponding display portions AS, BS, until a predetermined stop result is displayed and the variation display is stopped. It corresponds to one time.

  In the round display unit RS constituting the pachinko machine 10C of the third embodiment, the display of the number of times of opening is started at the start of the opening / closing execution mode, and the display is ended at the end of the opening / closing execution mode. The accessory display unit 44 is a display unit for clearly indicating the result of the internal lottery performed based on winning through the through gate 35. In this case, the accessory display unit 44 displays a variation of the picture triggered by the winning of the through gate 35, and the internal lottery performed based on the winning of the through gate 35 as a result of stopping the variation display. The result of is clearly displayed. If the result of the internal lottery based on the winning to the through gate 35 is a winning result corresponding to the transition to the state where the electric role is opened, a predetermined stop result is displayed on the accessory display unit 44 and displayed in a variable manner. After is stopped, it shifts to the electric utility open state. In the electric combination open state, the electric combination 34a provided in the second working port 34C is opened in a predetermined manner.

  The main display unit 43 and the accessory display unit 44 are configured by a segment display device having a plurality of segments. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other display devices such as a liquid crystal display device are used. Also good.

  The variable display unit 36 constituting the pachinko machine 10C of the third embodiment is the same as the variable display unit 36 constituting the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment. A first holding lamp portion 45 corresponding to the first result display portion AS and the symbol display device 41 is provided in the upper left portion on the front side of the center frame 42. Further, a second holding lamp portion 46 corresponding to the second result display portion BS and the symbol display device 41 is provided at the upper right portion on the front side of the center frame 42.

  Below the center frame 42, a third holding lamp portion 47 corresponding to the accessory display portion 44 is provided. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the through gate 35 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of held balls is displayed by turning on the third holding lamp portion 47.

  An inner rail portion 5A and an outer rail portion 5B similar to the game board 24 of the first embodiment are also attached to the game board 24 of the third embodiment, and the game balls launched from the game ball launching mechanism 7A are It is guided by the guide rail and can reach the upper part of the game area PE. A front door frame 14 similar to that of the first embodiment is provided so as to cover the entire front side of the inner frame 13. Similarly to the first embodiment, an upper bulging portion 65 and a lower bulging portion 66 that bulge to the near side are arranged in parallel vertically below the window portion 61 in the front door frame 14. .

<Electrical configuration>
Next, the block diagram of FIG. 11 can also be applied to the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10C of the third embodiment. However, a drive unit (solenoid) constituting the fraud prevention device 50D is connected to the output side of the MPU 202, and the drive unit is driven based on detection of the passing of the game ball by the detection sensor 211g.

  In the pachinko machine 10C of the third embodiment, the display content of the symbol display device 41 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

<About various counters>
The pachinko machine 10C of the third embodiment also includes various counters shown in FIG. 13 as counters used in the game. However, in the pachinko machine 10C of the third embodiment, “big hit random number counter buffer” is read as “hit random number counter buffer”, and “big hit type counter buffer” is read as “hit type counter buffer”. Shall be applied.

  In other words, the MPU 202 uses various counter information in the game to generate a jackpot or special winning lottery, setting the display of the main display unit 43 (that is, setting the display mode of the main display board), and setting the symbol display of the symbol display device 41. Specifically, a hit random number counter C1 used for lottery of occurrence of big hits or special wins, a hit type counter C2 used for determining the presence or absence of a high frequency support mode described later, Reach random number counter C3 used for reach lottery when the symbol display device 41 fluctuates and fluctuates, random number initial value counter CINI used for setting the initial value of the hit random number counter C1, and first result display section AS of the main display section 43 And a variation type counter CS for determining a variation display time in the second result display unit BS and the symbol display device 41. It is set to be there. Furthermore, as with the pachinko machine 10C of the second embodiment, the electric combination used for the lottery to determine whether or not the electric combination 34a of the second operating port (second starting ball entering portion) 34C is in the open state. An open counter C4 is provided.

  Each of the counters C1 to C4, CINI, and CS is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value each time it is updated, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. Each counter is updated at short time intervals, and the updated value is appropriately stored in a lottery counter buffer 231 set in a predetermined area of the RAM 204. The RAM 204 is provided with a reserved ball storage area 232 including a first result display area reservation area Ra, a second result display area reservation area Rb, an execution area AE, and a total number of reservations storage area. In the reserved ball storage area 632, the values of the winning random number counter C1 and the winning type counter C2 are stored in time series in accordance with the winning history of the game balls to the first operating port 33C or the second operating port 34C. It has come to be.

  Specifically, each counter is configured so that the hit random number counter C1 is incremented by 1 in the range of, for example, 0 to 599, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. In particular, when the winning random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the initial random number counter CINI at that time is read as the initial value of the winning random number counter C1. The random number initial value counter CINI is a loop counter similar to the winning random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 599). The hit random number counter C1 is periodically updated and stored in the reserved ball storage area 232 of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the first operation port 33C or the second operation port 34C. More specifically, the second result of the RAM 204 is stored in the first result display holding area Ra of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the first operating port 33C, and the second result of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the second operating port 34C. It is stored in the display unit reserved area Rb.

  The random number value to be won is stored as a success / failure table (availability information group) in the success / failure table storage area 221 as the success / failure information group storage means in the ROM 203. Here, the contents of the success / failure table will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 50, two types of success / failure tables are set in correspondence with the respective operation ports 33C and 34C. In other words, when a winning table for the first working port (first working port pass / fail information group) and a winning for the second working port 34C are generated, which are referred to when a winning is made to the first working port 33C. And a second working port success / failure table (second working port success / failure information group) referred to in FIG.

  In the gaming state in which the winning table for the first working port is referred to at the time of the lottery, as shown in FIG. 50 (a), the random number value (that is, the winning information) for winning the big hit is “7”. And “307”. That is, among the values of the hit random number counter C1 of “0 to 599”, “7” and “307” correspond to the jackpot result, and the others correspond to the outlier result.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 50 (b), in the gaming situation in which the success / failure table for the second working port is referred to in the lottery, the big win winning is the same as the success / failure table for the first working port. The random number values (that is, winning information) are “7” and “307”. Further, among the values of the random number counter C1 of “0 to 599”, “51 to 60”, “151 to 160”,..., “551 to 560” correspond to the special winning results, and other than that Corresponds to outliers.

  Here, the difference between the jackpot result and the special hit result will be described. When the big win result is obtained by the lottery based on the winning to each of the operation ports 33C, 34C, the first variable winning device 32C is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode. On the other hand, when a special winning result is obtained by the lottery, the first variable prize-winning device 32C is not immediately shifted to the opening / closing execution mode, but is given the right to perform another lottery again. As a result of winning, the first variable winning device 32C is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode as in the case of the jackpot result.

  Specifically, when a special winning result is obtained, first, the second variable winning device 32D is shifted to the open state. At that time, the game ball that entered the second grand prize opening 32e and entered the game ball passage 42b is guided to the special passage SR, and further wins by entering the second passage E2 (special area), The first variable winning device 32C is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode. In other words, when a special win is won, a result similar to that of the big win is given to the player when the ball enters the second passage E2 (special area).

  Next, the win type counter C2 will be described. The hit type counter C2 is incremented by 1 within the range of 0 to 29, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The hit type counter C2 is periodically updated and stored in the reserved ball storage area 232 of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the first operation port 33C or the second operation port 34C. More specifically, the second result of the RAM 204 is stored in the first result display holding area Ra of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the first operating port 33C, and the second result of the RAM 204 at the timing when the game ball wins the second operating port 34C. It is stored in the display unit reserved area Rb.

  The game result distribution destination for the hit type counter C2 is stored as a distribution table (distribution information group) in the distribution table storage area 222 as a distribution information group storage unit in the ROM 203. Here, the contents of the distribution table will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 51, two types of sorting tables are set in correspondence with the respective operation ports 33C and 34C. That is, a first operating port distribution table (first operating port distribution information group) and a second operating port 34C that are referred to when a winning is generated at the first operating port 33C are generated. In this case, the second working port sorting table (second working port sorting information group) referred to in this case is individually set.

  With reference to these distribution tables, the support mode is distributed in the electric accessory 34a of the second working port 34 after the opening / closing execution mode is completed.

  As a support mode of the electric combination 34a of the second working port 34C, the electric combination of the second working port 34C is compared in a situation where a game ball is continuously launched in the same manner with respect to the game area PE. Low frequency support mode (low frequency support state or low frequency guide state) and high frequency support mode (high frequency support state or high frequency so that the frequency at which the object 34a is opened per unit time is relatively high. Guide state) is set.

  Specifically, in the low-frequency support mode and the high-frequency support mode, the probability of winning the power combination open state in the electric combination release lottery using the electric combination release counter C4 is the same (for example, both 4/5) However, in the high-frequency support mode, the number of times that the electric accessory 34a is opened when the electrified open state is won is set more than in the low-frequency support mode, and one more release is performed. The time is set longer. In this case, in the high frequency support mode, when the electrified open state is selected and the open state of the electric accessory 34a occurs a plurality of times, the closure from the end of one open state until the start of the next open state is performed. The time is set shorter than one opening time. Furthermore, in the high frequency support mode, the minimum secured time is set shorter when the next electric character opening lottery is performed after one electric character opening lottery is performed than in the low frequency support mode. Has been.

  As described above, in the high frequency support mode, the probability of winning a prize to the second working port 34C is higher than in the low frequency support mode. In other words, in the low frequency support mode, there is a higher probability of winning the first operating port 33C than in the second operating port 34C, but in the high frequency support mode, the second operation is performed more than in the first operating port 33C. The probability of winning a prize in the mouth 34C increases. When a prize is awarded to the second operating port 34C, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Therefore, in the high-frequency support mode, the player plays a game while not reducing the number of possessed balls. It can be carried out.

  The configuration for increasing the frequency at which the high frequency support mode is set to the power release state per unit time as compared with the low frequency support mode is not limited to the above-described configuration, for example, the electric component release lottery It is good also as a structure which makes high the probability that it will be elected in the electric character open state in. Furthermore, the number of times of opening is increased, the opening time is lengthened, and the minimum secured time is secured when the next electric character opening lottery is performed after one electric character releasing lottery is performed. By applying any one condition or any combination of conditions (that is, shortening the one-time variable display time in the through gate display section DS) and increasing the winning probability, the low frequency support mode can be applied. The advantage of the high frequency support mode may be increased.

  However, the high-frequency support mode shifts to the low-frequency support mode when the number of games reaches the end reference number (specifically, 100 times) after the shift.

  In this pachinko machine 10C, the distribution mode to the low frequency support mode and the high frequency support mode in the case of a big hit result or a special hit result is a win based on winning in the first operating port 33C And the case of winning 7 selections based on winning in the second working port 34C.

  Specifically, in the gaming state in which the first activation port acceptance table is referred to at the time of the distribution, as shown in FIG. In other words, there are 15 winning information) “0-14”. On the other hand, under the gaming situation in which the distribution table for the second working port is referred to at the time of the distribution, as shown in FIG. There are 25 winning information (0 to 24). In other words, when a big win is won by winning the first operating port 33C, it is assigned to the high frequency support mode with a probability of 1/2, and when a big win or special win is won by winning the second operating port 34C. Will be assigned to the high frequency support mode with a probability of 5/6.

  In addition, when it becomes a losing result in the success / failure lottery, the mode does not shift to the opening / closing execution mode, and the support mode is not changed.

  The variation type counter CS is, for example, incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 198, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The variation type counter CS is used in the MPU 202 to determine the variation display time in the first result display unit AS and the second result display unit BS of the main display unit 43 and the symbol variation display time in the symbol display device 41. . The variation type counter CS is updated once every time a normal process to be described later is executed once, and is repeatedly updated even within the remaining time in the normal process. Then, the buffer value of the variation type counter CS is acquired when the variation pattern is determined at the start of variation display in the first result display section AS and the second result display section BS and at the beginning of variation of the symbol by the symbol display device 41.

  The electric accessory release counter C4 is, for example, configured to increment one by one within a range of 0 to 249 and return to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The electric accessory release counter C <b> 3 is periodically updated and stored in the electric utility reservation area 233 of the RAM 204 at a timing when a game ball wins the through gate 35. Then, at a predetermined timing, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to control the electric accessory 91 to the open state based on the stored value of the electric accessory release counter C4. For example, if C4 = 0 to 199, the electric accessory 91 is controlled to the open state, and if C4 = 200 to 249, the electric accessory 91 is not controlled to the open state.

  As already described, the MPU 202 uses at least the buffer value of the variation type counter CS to determine the variation display time in the first result display section AS and the second result display section BS. A variable display time table storage area 223 is used. Further, the MPU 202 determines the stop result in the first result display section AS and the second result display section BS using the value of the hit random number counter C1 and the value of the hit type counter C2 stored in the execution area AE. However, the stop result table storage area 224 of the ROM 203 is used for the determination.

<Various processes executed by main controller 81>
Next, various processes executed by the main controller 81 in the pachinko machine 10C according to the third embodiment will be described. Also in the third embodiment, descriptions of the main process and the NMI interrupt process are omitted.

<Timer interrupt processing>
First, the timer interrupt process of the third embodiment is that in step S103B, the “hit random number counter” is used instead of the “hit random number counter”, and the “hit type counter” is used instead of the “hit type counter”. This is different from the timer interrupt processing (FIG. 39). Moreover, the point which does not perform the passage detection process of step S105B differs from the timer interruption process of 2nd Embodiment.

<Winning process for working port>
The winning process for the operation port according to the third embodiment can also be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. However, instead of determining whether or not the “upper operating port 33” has been won in step S201, it is determined whether or not the “first operating port 33C” has been won, and in step S206, “lower operating port 33” is determined. It differs from the winning process for the operating port shown in the flowchart of FIG. 18 in that it is determined whether or not the “second operating port 34C” has been won instead of determining whether or not “34” has been won.

  In the information acquisition process, in S304, the value of “hit random number counter C1” is acquired instead of “hit random number counter C1”, and the value of “hit type counter” is acquired instead of “hit type counter”. Otherwise, the information acquisition process (FIG. 19) shown in the flowchart of FIG. 19 is the same.

<Winning winning process>
The through winning process in the third embodiment is the same as the through winning process in the second embodiment (see FIG. 40B).

<Normal processing>
The normal process of the third embodiment is different from the normal process (FIG. 41) of the second embodiment in that the distribution process of step S508B is not performed.

<Game times control processing>
The game times control process of the third embodiment is the same as the game times control process of the second embodiment except that the specific contents of the variation start process are different (FIGS. 22, 23, 52, 25, and 25). (See FIG. 26).

<Variation start processing>
Next, the variation start process of the third embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the variation start process, the variable display on the first result display unit AS and the second result display unit BS of the main display unit 43 is started, and output to the sound lamp control device 82 so as to start the variation display on the symbol display unit 41. Set the command to be executed.

  First, in step S801C, a success / failure determination process is executed. In the success / failure determination process, it is determined whether the value of the hit random number counter C1 stored in the execution area AE corresponds to a jackpot result, a special hit result, or a miss result. Specifically, first, it is determined which of the first operating port 33C and the second operating port 34C the winning prize destination is. Then, the winner table is selected according to the determined winning destination, and it is determined whether or not the value of the winning random number counter C1 corresponds to the jackpot result with reference to the selected winner table. If the jackpot result is not supported, it is determined whether or not the jackpot result is supported. When the special hit result is not supported, it is determined that the special hit result is supported. That is, it is not determined whether or not the value of the hit random number counter C1 matches the value corresponding to the outlier result.

  In addition, you may change the method of the success / failure determination process, for example, whether or not it corresponds to the jackpot result, whether or not it corresponds to the special outlier result, and whether or not it corresponds to the complete outlier result Each determination may be performed.

  In subsequent step S802C, a distribution determination process is executed. In the allocation determination process, it is determined whether or not the result of the success / failure determination process in step S801C is a jackpot result or a special hit result. If the determination result is a losing result, the process ends. On the other hand, when the result of the success / failure determination process is a jackpot result or a special winning result, it is determined whether the winning destination is the first operating port 33C or the second operating port 34C. Then, the distribution table is selected according to the determined winning destination, and it is determined whether or not the value of the win type counter C2 corresponds to the high frequency support mode with reference to the selected distribution table. . That is, it is not determined whether or not the value of the hit type counter C2 corresponds to the low frequency support mode.

  After executing the determination process and the allocation determination process, in steps S803C to S811C, a process for setting a stop result when ending the variable display executed by the result display unit AS, BS in the current game round, etc. Execute. Specifically, in step S803C, it is determined whether or not the result of the success / failure determination process is a big win. If it is a big win, the process proceeds to step S804C, the open / close execution mode flag is set in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204, and then the process proceeds to step S805C.

  In step S805C, it is determined whether the result of the distribution determination process corresponds to the high frequency support mode. As a result, if the high-frequency support mode is supported, the process proceeds to step S806C, and a winning combination corresponding to the high-frequency support mode (hereinafter referred to as the first jackpot for convenience) is executed. In the first jackpot winning stop result setting process, a flag corresponding to the first jackpot result is set. Thereby, it can identify that this game time corresponds to the 1st jackpot result. The flag corresponding to the first jackpot result is cleared at the timing when the game round ends and the transition processing for ending variation ends.

  On the other hand, if the high-frequency support mode is not supported, the process proceeds to step S807C, and a stop result setting process for winning that does not support the high-frequency support mode (hereinafter referred to as a second jackpot for convenience) is executed. In the second jackpot winning stop result setting process, a flag corresponding to the second jackpot result is set. Thereby, it can be specified that the current game time corresponds to the second jackpot result. The flag corresponding to the second jackpot result is cleared at the timing when the game round ends and the transition process for ending the change ends.

  If the result of the success / failure determination process in step S801C is not a big win, the process proceeds to step S808C to determine whether or not the result of the same success / failure determination process is a special win. If it is a special win, the process proceeds to step S809C, the lottery result confirmation mode flag is set in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204, and then the process proceeds to step S810C. The lottery result determination mode flag is a flag that allows winning in the second passage E2 (special area) by opening the second variable winning device 32D after occurrence of the special winning.

  In a succeeding step S810C, it is determined whether or not the result of the distribution determination process corresponds to the high frequency support mode. As a result, if the high-frequency support mode is supported, the process proceeds to step S811C, and a special win corresponding to the high-frequency support mode (hereinafter referred to as the first special win) is executed for the winning stop result setting process. . In the first special win winning stop result setting process, a flag corresponding to the first special win result is set. Thereby, it can identify that this game time corresponds to the 1st special hit result. The flag corresponding to the first special hit result is cleared at the timing when the game round is finished and the transition process for ending the change is finished.

  On the other hand, if the high-frequency support mode is not supported, the process proceeds to step S812C, and a special hit that does not support the high-frequency support mode (hereinafter referred to as a second special hit for convenience) is executed. . In the second special winning winning stop result setting process, a flag corresponding to the second special winning result is set. Thereby, it can identify that this game time corresponds to the 2nd special hit result. The flag corresponding to the second special hit result is cleared at the timing when the game round is finished and the transition process for ending the change is finished.

  If it is determined in step S808C that the special winning is not won, the process proceeds to step S813C. In step S813C, a stop result setting process for an outlier is executed. In the stop result setting process, display data corresponding to the complete losing result stored in the display table is set as the stop result. In each stop result setting process, a stop result in each result display section AS, BS when the variable display is completed is set.

  If the stop result setting process is executed in any of Step S806C, Step S807C, Step S811C, Step S812C, and Step S813C, the process proceeds to Step S814C. In step S814C, a variable display time setting process is executed. Specifically, the variable display time is set in the variable display time counter area of the RAM 604. The value of the variable display time counter area is subtracted every predetermined period, and when the value becomes “0”, the game round is ended.

  In the variation display time setting process, the value of the variation type counter CS is acquired, and the variation display time corresponding to the value of the variation type counter CS is selected from the variation display time table stored in the ROM 603. . In the variable display time table, one corresponding to the jackpot result, one corresponding to the special hit result, and one corresponding to the outlier result are set. Thereby, even if the value of the variation type counter CS is the same, the variation display time can be varied depending on the game result. As a result, it is possible to diversify the pattern of the variable display time that is set.

  When the variable display time is set, the process proceeds to step S815C. In step S815C, a change start command and a type command are set. The change start command includes information on the change display time. The type command includes game result information. That is, the type command includes, as game result information, jackpot result, special hit result, information on presence / absence of high frequency support mode support, and the like.

  The variation start command and type command set in step S815C are transmitted to the audio lamp control device 82 in step S501 in the normal process (FIG. 41). Based on the received change start command and type command, the sound lamp control device 82 determines the contents of the effect in the game time and controls various devices so that the determined contents of the effect are executed. The contents of this effect include the variation display mode of the symbol on the symbol display device 41, and the determined variation display mode of the symbol is output from the voice lamp control device 82 to the display control device 41 as a display content command. Is done. Based on the display content command received from the sound lamp control device 82, the display control device 41 controls the display of the symbol display device 41 so as to perform variable display of symbols corresponding to each game time.

  Thereafter, in step S816C, the display of the variation of the pattern is started in each result display section AS, BS. Then, this variation start process is terminated. Note that stop pictures corresponding to the first jackpot result, the second jackpot result, and the losing result are set as the stop pictures displayed on the first result display section AS. In addition, stop patterns respectively corresponding to the first jackpot result, the second jackpot result, the first special hit result, the second special hit result, and the off result are set as the stop patterns displayed on the second result display unit BS. Yes.

  In the present embodiment, in particular, the number of stop pattern display patterns corresponding to the hit results corresponding to the high frequency support mode is the same as the number of stop pattern display patterns corresponding to the hit results not corresponding to the high frequency support mode. . This makes it difficult to determine whether the lottery result is compatible with the high-frequency support mode by confirming the display pattern of the stopped pattern. Note that a plurality of variation display patterns of the result display units AS and BS are set in advance by a display table stored in the ROM 203, and the display table is referred to when determining the variation pattern.

<Game state transition processing>
Next, the gaming state transition processing in step S505 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

  First, in step S901C, it is determined whether or not the open / close execution mode corresponding to the big hit result or the special hit result is in progress. If it is not in the opening / closing execution mode corresponding to the big hit result or the special hit result, the process proceeds to step S902C. In step S902C, it is determined whether the lottery result determination mode corresponding to the special winning result is in progress. That is, it is determined whether or not the lottery result based on the winning at the second operating port 34C is a special winning result, and the mode is switched to a mode in which the inflow of game balls to the second variable winning device 32D is allowed.

  In each of step S901C and step S902C, the determination is made based on whether or not the flags corresponding to the opening / closing execution mode flag storage area and the lottery result determination mode flag storage area provided in the various flag storage areas 235 are set. The lottery result determination mode flag is stored in the flag storage area by winning a special winning when a lottery based on winning in the second working port 34C is performed.

  If it is determined in step S902C that the lottery result determination mode corresponding to the special winning result is in progress, the process proceeds to the special winning transition process in step S903C. This special winning transition process will be described later.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S902C that the lottery result determination mode is not in progress, the process proceeds to step S904C. In step S904C, it is determined whether or not it is the timing when the variable display in each result display section AS, BS of one game time is finished. If it is not the timing when the variable display is finished, the gaming state transition process is finished as it is.

  If it is the timing when the variable display is finished, it is determined in step S905C whether or not the game result of the current game round corresponds to the transition to the opening / closing execution mode. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing execution mode flag is stored in the RAM 204. If the flag is not stored, the gaming state transition process is terminated as it is.

  If any of the above flags is stored, “15” is set in the first round counter area RC1 in step S906C. The first round counter area RC1 is a counter area for counting the number of times the first big winning opening 32a is opened.

  In the subsequent step S907C, it is determined whether or not the current hit result corresponds to the high frequency support mode. If the current hit result corresponds to the high frequency support mode, the high frequency is stored in the various flag storage areas 235 of the RAM 204. Set the support mode flag.

  After executing the process of step S907C, an opening command is set in step S908C. The set opening command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 82 in step S501 in the normal process (FIG. 41). This opening command includes information indicating whether the high frequency support mode or the low frequency support mode is selected. Based on the received opening command, the sound lamp control device 82 determines the contents of the effect corresponding to the opening / closing execution mode, and controls various devices so that the determined contents of the effect are executed. In addition, the opening command is transmitted from the sound lamp control device 82 to the display control device 41, and the display control device 41 receives the opening command to display corresponding to the current opening / closing execution mode (for example, moving image display). Display control of the symbol display device 41 is performed. After executing the process of step S908C, the gaming state transition process ends.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 54, the special winning transition process shown in step S903C (FIG. 53) will be briefly described. “51-60”, “151-160”, “251-260”, “351-360” corresponding to the special hit result (see FIG. 50B) of the hit random number counter C1 of “0-599” , “451 to 460”, “551 to 560”, “51 to 60”, “251 to 260”, and “451 to 460”, the second variable winning device 32D is opened when performing the special winning. When the pattern is the first opening pattern and is “151 to 160”, “351 to 360”, and “551 to 560”, the opening pattern of the second variable winning device 32D is the second opening pattern when performing the special winning. Become.

When the first opening pattern is performed, as shown in FIG. 54 (b), the timing Tx (FIG. 54 (a)) when the predetermined result corresponding to the special hit is confirmed and displayed on the second result display unit BS. The opening / closing member 32f is opened at a timing T0 after elapse of a specific time (1.0 second in the third embodiment), and the opening / closing member 32f is closed at a timing T4 after 1.6 seconds have elapsed. . Also, after the game ball is fired, the time until the game ball reaches the second variable prize-winning device 32D is set to about 2 seconds. The switching member 59f is switched from the non-inductive state to the inductive state at the timing T2 after the elapse of 2 seconds from the timing Tx when the predetermined pattern is confirmed and displayed, and at the timing T3 after 0.2 seconds have elapsed, the switching member 59f returns to the non-inductive state. For this reason, when the first opening pattern is performed, it is possible to allow a game ball (a valid game ball that is not the first type oil ball) to flow into the second passage E2 (special region).

  On the other hand, when the second release pattern is performed, as shown in FIG. 54 (c), the timing Tx (FIG. 54 (c)) when the predetermined result corresponding to the special hit is confirmed and displayed on the second result display unit BS. a))), the opening / closing member 32f is opened for the first time at a timing T0 after the elapse of a specific time (1.0 second in the third embodiment), and then once opened and closed at a timing T1 after 0.1 seconds have elapsed. The member 32f is closed. Then, the second opening of the opening / closing member 32f is started at a timing T2 after 0.9 seconds have elapsed (1.0 seconds after the first opening start timing T0), and 1.6 seconds have elapsed since then. At the timing T5, the opening / closing member 32f is closed. The opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 32f for the first time (0.1 second) is performed at an opening / closing speed at which the game ball cannot enter the second variable winning device 32D. Even during the execution of the second opening pattern, as shown in FIG. 54 (d), the switching member 59f is guided from the non-induction state at the timing T2 after 1 second from the first opening start timing T0 of the opening / closing member 32f. The switching member 59f returns to the non-induction state at timing T3 after 0.2 seconds have passed since the switching to the state.

  When the second release pattern is executed, the switching member 59f is already non-guided when the game ball that has entered the second variable winning device 32D reaches the branch to the second passage E2 (special area). Since there is a high possibility that the state has been switched to a state, it is unlikely that a legitimate game ball (a legitimate game ball that is not a first type oil ball) will flow into the second passage E2 (special area). . In other words, when the special hit for executing the second opening pattern is selected, the designer of the pachinko machine enters the second passage E2 (special area) with a game ball (a valid game ball that is not the first type oil ball). Designed to be less likely to do. On the other hand, in a pachinko machine that does not use the fraud prevention device 50D, if it is the first type oil ball, the first type oil ball is passed in the order of the second big prize opening 32e, the game ball passage 42b, and the special passage SR, and the timing T2 From time T3 until the switching member 59f in the guidance state is switched to the non-guidance state, the first type oil ball can flow into the second passage E2 (special region).

  However, in the third embodiment, since the anti-fraud member 50D is built in the game ball passage 42b and the first type oil ball is not guided to the special passage SR, as the designer of the pachinko machine intends, When the special hit for executing the second opening pattern is selected, the situation cannot enter the second passage E2 (special region). In the third embodiment, after the game ball is fired, the time until the game ball reaches the second variable winning device 32D is set to about 2 seconds. Under such a configuration, the switching member 59f changes from the non-induction state to the induction state at the timing T2 after 2 seconds from the timing Tx when the predetermined pattern corresponding to the special hit is confirmed and displayed on the second result display unit BS. It is configured to be switched.

  Then, when it is time to finish opening the opening / closing member 32f, it is determined whether or not a game ball has flowed into the second passage E2 (special area). When it is determined that there is a winning in the second passage E2 (special area), an opening / closing execution mode setting process corresponding to the first variable winning device 32C is executed, and there is a winning in the second passage E2 (special area). If not determined, the game state transition process is terminated.

  Returning to the description of the gaming state transition process (FIG. 53), when it is determined in step S901C that the open / close execution mode corresponding to the jackpot result or the special hit result is being determined, the jackpot result or the special hit result in steps S909C to S912C is obtained. The processing for the corresponding opening / closing execution mode is executed.

  If it is determined in step S901C that the open / close execution mode corresponding to the jackpot is in progress, the process proceeds to step S909C. In step S909C, it is determined whether the waiting time for opening has elapsed. If the opening standby time has not elapsed, the gaming state transition process is terminated. When the opening standby time has elapsed, the first variable winning device opening / closing process is executed in step S910C.

  In the first variable prize-winning device opening / closing process, when the first big prize opening 32a is closed, the first variable prize-winning drive unit (illustrated) is provided on the condition that the first round counter area RC1 is “1” or more. Is omitted), the first big prize opening 32a is opened. Further, when the first grand prize opening 32a is being opened, on condition that the opening limit time has passed since the opening of the first big prize opening 32a or the opening limit number has been won, The driving state of the first variable winning drive unit (not shown) is stopped, and the first big winning opening 32a is closed.

  After executing the first variable winning device opening / closing process in step S910C, it is determined in subsequent step S911C whether or not the value of the first round counter area RC1 is “0”. If the value of the first round counter area RC1 is not “0”, the gaming state transition process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if the value of the first round counter area RC1 is “0”, the open / close execution mode flag is cleared in step S912C.

  If the opening / closing execution mode flag is cleared in step S912C, the process proceeds to step S913C to determine whether or not the high-frequency support mode flag is set. If the high frequency support mode flag is not set, the gaming state transition process is terminated as it is. If the high-frequency support mode flag is set, the process proceeds to step S914, “100” is set in the game number counter provided in the RAM 204, and the gaming state transition process is terminated. When “100” is set in the game number counter, the game state is shifted to the high frequency support mode. However, the high-frequency support mode ends when the game times continue 100 times, and thereafter, the support mode shifts to the normal game state in which the low-frequency support mode is set. The number of high-frequency support continuations (restricted number of games) is not limited to 100 times, and may be 1 or more and less than 100 times, such as 10 times, 20 times, or 30 times, or 101 times or more. May be.

<Telephone support processing>
Next, the power combination support process of step S506 in the normal process is the same as the power role support process of the second embodiment (see FIGS. 43 to 45).

  According to the pachinko machine 10C of the third embodiment described in detail above, since the fraud prevention device 50D is built in the second variable winning device 32D, the first type oil ball moves toward the second big winning port 32e. Even if fired, the first type oil ball is not guided to the special passage SR. In other words, according to the pachinko machine 10C of the third embodiment, since the anti-fraud device 50D is provided, the game ball aiming to enter the special passage SR always moves constantly to remove the first type oil ball. A shutter 59f to be operated and a switch (detection sensor 211g) for starting its operation are provided, and a mechanism for directing the first type oil ball to the outside of the pachinko machine 10C or the out port 37 is provided on the surface of the game board 24.

  Then, by moving the shutter 59f after a lapse of a certain period of time after passing through the switch (detection sensor 211g), since the passing speed is fast if it is the first type oil ball, it crosses over the shutter 59f and goes to the discharge port (recess 59h), If it is not the first type oil ball, the shutter 59f cannot be crossed and it goes to the special passage SR. Thereby, a 1st type oil ball can be removed and a fraud countermeasure can be improved.

  In addition, it is difficult to select a game ball (first type oil ball) to which oil has adhered and a legitimate game ball (a regular game ball that is not the first type oil ball), but even in the third embodiment, Paying attention to the difference in speed at which a ball (type 1 oil ball) and a legitimate game ball (game ball that is not type 1 oil ball) pass the same distance (type 1 oil ball is faster), type 1 Oil balls can be removed. Moreover, it is possible to remove only the first type oil ball without adversely affecting the legitimate game ball.

<Other embodiments>
In addition, it is not limited to the description content of 3rd Embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows. Incidentally, each of the following configurations may be individually applied to each of the above embodiments, or a part or all of them may be combined and applied to each of the above embodiments. In addition, each of the following configurations may be applied to an embodiment other than the embodiment exemplified as an application target.

(1) In the third embodiment, an example in which the fraud prevention device 50D is built in the second variable prize-winning device 32D is illustrated. However, as shown in Modification 7 in FIG. 55, the fraud prevention device 50D is the second variable prize-winning device. It may be provided outside the 32D. In this case, the anti-fraud device 50D may be configured with a non-electrically-powered object.

  In addition, the modified example 7 has shown the aspect provided in the lower right part of game area PE. In addition, the second variable winning device 32D shown in FIG. 55 includes a second large winning port 32g that leads to the back side of the game board 24, and an open / close door 32h that opens and closes the large winning port 32g. The door 32 b is connected to a drive unit such as a solenoid provided on the back side of the game board 24. Normally, the game ball is in a closed state in which it is not possible to win or difficult to win, and the game ball is in a predetermined open state in which it is easy for the game ball to win when winning the opening / closing execution mode (opening / closing execution state) in the internal lottery. It can be switched. The big winning opening 32a is connected to the first internal passage 32i of the second variable winning device 32D, and the game balls won from the big winning opening 32a enter the first internal passage 32i. Further, the first internal passage 32i branches into a second internal passage (normal region) 32m and a third internal passage (special region) 32n, and a sorting piece 32p is rotatable at the end of the first internal passage 32i. Arranged in a state. When the distribution piece 32p is in the state shown in FIG. 55A, the first internal passage 32i and the second internal passage (normal area) 32m communicate with each other, and the game ball that has passed through the first internal passage 32i is in the second state. It is guided to an internal passage (normal area) 32m (hereinafter referred to as a normal induction state). When the sorting piece 32p is in the state shown in FIG. 55 (b), the first internal passage 32i and the second internal passage (normal area) 32m are not in communication with each other, and the first internal passage 32i and the third internal passage 32i are in the third state. The internal passage (special region) 32n communicates, and the game ball that has passed through the first internal passage 32i is guided to the third internal passage (special region) 32n (hereinafter referred to as a special guidance state).

  Also in this modified example 7, when a predetermined special hit occurs, it can be a target of the first type oil ball goto when the period of special induction state is short. However, the first type oil ball can be removed using the fraud prevention device 50D.

(2) In the third embodiment, when the game ball reaches the special passage SR, the first variable prize-winning device 32C shifts to the opening / closing execution mode (opening / closing execution state). However, the special win in this embodiment is read as a big win, and when a special win (big win) is generated, the mode shifts to an open / close execution mode (open / close execution state) using the second variable winning device 32C. When the game ball reaches the special passage SR during the opening / closing execution mode (opening / closing execution state), the high probability mode or the high frequency support state is entered after the opening / closing execution mode (opening / closing execution state) ends. It is good.

  For example, the pachinko machine shown in Modification 8 shown in FIG. 56 includes a game board 24 similar to that of the third embodiment. However, the table shown in FIG. 14A is used as the low probability mode success / failure table (low probability success / failure information group), and the high probability mode success / failure table (high probability success / failure information group) is shown in FIG. Use what is shown in. In addition, the distribution table shown in FIGS. 56A and 56B is used as the display result distribution table.

  In the distribution table for the first result display unit of Modification 8, “0-9” corresponds to the jackpot result A among the values of the jackpot type counter C2 of “0-29”, and “10-19” "Corresponds to the jackpot result B, and" 20 to 29 "corresponds to the jackpot result C. On the other hand, in the distribution table for the second result display section, among the values of the jackpot type counter C2 of “0 to 29”, “0 to 9” corresponds to the jackpot result D, and “10 to 29” Corresponds to jackpot result E.

  In the pachinko machine shown in the modified example 8, when the jackpot result B or jackpot result C is obtained, the open / close execution mode with 12 rounds is performed, and when the jackpot result A, jackpot result D or jackpot result E is obtained, the number of rounds is 16 Perform execution mode. Also, regardless of which jackpot result is obtained, the opening / closing execution mode is performed by the first variable winning device 32C except for the fifth round, and the opening / closing execution mode is performed by the second variable winning device 32D in the fifth round. However, when the jackpot result A or jackpot result D is obtained, the fifth round is executed based on the second opening pattern described above, and when the jackpot result B, jackpot result C or jackpot result E is obtained. The fifth round is executed based on the first release pattern described above. That is, in the pachinko machine shown in the modified example 8, when the opening / closing execution mode is started, the first variable winning device 32C is driven based on the high-frequency winning mode in “each round except the fifth round”, and in the fifth round, The second variable winning device 32D is driven based on the first opening pattern or the second opening pattern. Then, after ending the opening / closing execution mode, it is determined whether or not the third internal passage (special region) 32n has been passed in the fifth round (whether or not the probability variation flag has been set). When the vehicle passes through the third internal passage (special region) 32n (when the probability variation flag is set), the probability variation flag is deleted and the high probability mode flag is set (see FIG. 28). .

  In the pachinko machine shown in the modified example 8, when the game ball can pass through the second passage E2 (special area) in the fifth round in which the second variable winning device 32D is opened, the opening / closing execution mode is ended. If the success / failure lottery mode becomes the high probability mode and the second passage E2 (special area) cannot be passed after the opening / closing execution mode ends, the success / failure lottery mode becomes the low probability mode. Here, the designer of the pachinko machine shown in the modified example 8 makes it easy for the game ball to pass through the second passage E2 (special area) or makes it difficult to pass through according to the jackpot result. I try not to become extremely high. However, by performing the first type oil ball goto, opening / closing is executed even when the big hit result A or the big hit result D of the kite that the game ball cannot originally pass through the second passage E2 (special area) is generated. In some cases, the lottery mode becomes the high probability mode after the mode is finished. On the other hand, according to the pachinko machine of the modified example 8, since the fraud prevention device 50D is built in the second variable winning device 32D, the first type oil ball is launched toward the second big winning port 32e. Even if this is done, the first type oil ball is not guided to the special passage SR.

(3) In the third embodiment, the second variable prize winning device 32D is provided with a special area, and special area arrival detection means for detecting that a game ball has reached the special area, and the second variable prize winning is provided. In the pachinko machine that executes the special game state advantageous to the player when the special area arrival detection means detects the game ball between the time when the device 32D is in the open state and the predetermined valid period elapses, the second If the fraud prevention device 50D is built in the variable prize winning device 32D or the fraud prevention device 50D is provided outside the second variable prize winning device 32D, the first type oil ball goto reaches the special area within the effective period. It is possible to counter the act to be attempted (described later).

(4) In the third embodiment, although the big win result is generated by the winning lottery based on the winning to the first working port 33C, the special winning result is not generated. And the aspect which produces | generates a jackpot result and a special winning result by the lottery based on the winning to the 2nd operating port 34C was illustrated. However, the big win result and the special win result may be generated by the winning lottery based on the winning at the first operating port 33C and the winning lottery based on the winning at the second operating port 34C.

(5) In the third embodiment, the opening / closing pattern of the second variable prize-winning device 32D has two opening / closing patterns. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the structure has three or more opening / closing patterns. It is good.

(6) In the third embodiment, when a plurality of opening / closing patterns of the second variable prize-winning device 32D are provided, the number of times the induction state is set and the period of the induction state may be different for each opening / closing pattern. Further, the number of rounds in which the second variable winning device 32D is used in the opening / closing execution mode may be plural, and in this case, a plurality of rounds through which the game ball can pass through the second passage E2 (special area) may be provided.

(7) In the third embodiment, the application example to the first type oil ball goto using the first type oil ball has been described, but the third embodiment is similar to the first application example described above. Oil ball goto using high-viscosity oil to type 2 oil ball goto using seed oil ball, and various treatments (for example, using an adhesive to slow down the flow velocity from the regular ball in game area PE of game ball) It can also be applied to used goto.

When the game has passed, the driving of the driving means is controlled so that the sorting main body is in the second state.

  The feature B1 is a feature extracted from the third embodiment described above. Here, in the third embodiment, “when an illegal game ball that has been processed to make the speed of flowing down the game area faster than a regular game ball is launched by the launching means, A gaming machine equipped with a fraud prevention device (a fraud prevention device 50D showing a specific example of the distribution means) for preventing a game ball from entering the advantageous ball portion is illustrated. And according to the gaming machine of the feature B1, since the distribution main body portion is provided, even if the illegal ball is launched toward the variable entry means, the illegal ball is guided to the advantageous entry portion (special area). There is no. That is, until a predetermined time elapses after the game ball is introduced into the distribution means (tamper prevention means), the state of the distribution main body is set to the first state (the introduction passage is connected to the normal passage), and the predetermined time is reached. When the time elapses, the state of the sorting main body is set to the second state (the introduction passage is connected to the special passage).

  Therefore, if it is an illegal game ball, the speed of passing through the introduction passage is fast (exceeding a predetermined speed), so before the sorting main body is in the second state (when the introduction passage is in communication with the normal passage) ), The illegal game ball passes through the sorting main body in the first state (for example, on the shutter 59e) and is guided to the normal passage. On the other hand, if the game ball is a legitimate game ball (a legitimate game ball), the passing speed is slow (below the predetermined speed) and the state of the distribution main body portion is changed to the second state. In order to reach the sorting main body, the game ball can be guided to the special passage. As described above, according to the gaming machine having the feature B1, an illegal game ball can be removed depending on the state of the distribution main body, and an anti-fraud measure can be improved.

  Here, in the gaming machine shown in the gaming machine indicated by the feature B1, the special gaming state can be exemplified by setting the gaming state of the gaming machine to the aforementioned opening / closing execution mode. In addition, regardless of whether or not a game ball enters a specific ball entry portion, in a game machine that is in the open / close execution mode, when the variable ball entry means is in the open state, a game is entered into the advantageous ball entry portion (special area). When the ball can be guided, a game (high probability mode) whose content is to set the high probability mode after executing the opening / closing execution mode can be set to a special game state. Similarly, regardless of whether or not a game ball enters the advantageous ball entry part (special area), in the gaming machine that is in the open / close execution mode, the advantageous ball entry when the variable ball entry means is in the open state. If the game ball can be guided to a part (special area), a game whose content is to set the high-frequency support mode after executing the opening / closing execution mode can be set to the special game state.

  Further, the gaming machine shown in the feature B1 may include other variable pitching means in addition to the above variable pitching means. In this case, the other variable entrance means need not necessarily include the specific entrance part and the movable member. For example, when the opening / closing execution mode is executed using other variable entry means, and the opening / closing execution mode is not executed in the variable entry means shown in the feature B1, the opening / closing operation is performed based on a specific hit (so-called small hit game) ), The opening / closing execution mode may be executed by another variable ball entry means on the basis of the ball entering the game ball (special area).

Feature B2.
The gaming machine according to Feature B1, wherein the movable member is in the guiding state within a predetermined period selected from a period in which the variable pitching means is switched to the open state.

  In this case, since it is assumed that the fraudster tries to enter the game ball into the variable ball entry means as soon as possible using the illegal ball, the distribution means (fraud prevention means) functions effectively. Become.

Feature C1.

When the game has passed, the drive of the drive means is controlled so that the sorting main body is in the first state.

  The feature E1 is a feature extracted from the application example described above. Here, in the aspect indicated by the feature E1, “when an illegal game ball that has been processed to make the speed of flowing down the game area slower than the regular game ball is launched by the launching means, A gaming machine equipped with fraud prevention means (such as a fraud prevention device showing a specific example of the distribution means) for preventing a game ball from entering the advantageous ball portion is illustrated. In the gaming machine having the feature E1, the state of the sorting main body is set to the second state until a predetermined time elapses after the detection unit detects that the game ball has been introduced into the introduction passage (sorting unit). (The introduction passage is connected to the special passage), and when a predetermined time has elapsed, the state of the sorting main body is set to the first state (the introduction passage is connected to the normal passage). Therefore, if the game ball is a legitimate game ball (a legitimate game ball), the speed of passing through the introduction passage is faster than the illegal ball (type 2 oil ball, etc.) (exceeds a predetermined speed). When the state is in a state (when the introduction passage is connected to the special passage), the regular game ball reaches the sorting main body in the second state (for example, on the shutter 52k) and is guided to the special passage. The On the other hand, if the game ball is illegal, the passing speed is slower than the regular game ball (below the predetermined speed), and the game ball is moved to the first state. In order to reach the sorting main body, the illegal game ball is guided to the normal passage. As described above, according to the gaming machine having the feature E1, an illegal game ball can be removed depending on the state of the distribution main body, and an anti-fraud measure can be improved.

  Here, as the illegal game ball (illegal ball) shown in the application example, the above-described second type oil ball or “the speed at which the game area PE flows down by making the weight lighter than the regular game ball An example of the “illegal ball delayed later than the regular game ball” can also be exemplified. In addition, the range of adhesion or application may be the entire outer peripheral surface of the game ball or a part thereof.

  In addition, the present invention, each embodiment, each modification, application example, not only the “illegal sphere” illustrated in each embodiment, each modification or application example, but also other forms of “illegal sphere”, regular The game ball can also be applied as “a means for solving various problems that may occur due to the passing speed (flowing speed) of the game ball”. For example, as exemplified in the following specific examples, a gaming machine that can acquire a predetermined profit when the launching strength of a game ball (which may be an illegal ball or a regular ball) launched by a predetermined launching unit is strong Or, in a gaming machine that easily obtains a predetermined profit, the state of the sorting main body is switched, and the destination of the game ball is suitably distributed according to its passing speed (for example, flow speed). Hereinafter, this point will be described.

  First, the modes of fraud that can be targeted in the present invention, each embodiment, and each modification are as follows: (1) oil ball goto (first type oil ball goto), (2) game ball with increased weight of game ball A mode in which the passing speed (for example, the falling speed) of the game ball is increased (for example, the illegal ball configured by increasing the specific gravity of the material of the game ball, or by putting a weight in the center of the game ball, etc.) It is not limited to the aspect used. In addition, aspects of fraudulent acts that can be targeted in application examples are (3) oil ball goto (type 2 oil ball goto), (4) game ball passing speed (for example, flow speed) ) (For example, an embodiment using an illegal sphere formed by reducing the specific gravity of the material of the game sphere or hollowing out the center of the game sphere to form a hollow). In other words, as other illegal acts such as (5) game balls having different sizes (diameters), the passing speed (e.g., the flow down) (6) by using a magnetic force, the passing speed of the game ball (for example, the flow speed) is changed. By changing the game balls of different sizes, it is easy to enter the advantageous entrance part, or enter the advantageous entrance part (for example, although it should not enter the advantageous entrance part originally For example, cheating, etc.). These various fraudulent acts can be suitably dealt with by the allocating means (sorting device) shown in the present invention, each embodiment, each modification or application example, and the gaming ball is favored by the fraudulent acts. It is possible to prevent an illegal act that makes it easy to enter the ball part or to enter the advantageous ball part.

  In addition, as described above, the present invention, each embodiment, even when the passing speed of a game ball (for example, the flow-down speed) is increased without using a player's cheating (using a regular game ball). According to the distributing means of each modified example, the destination of the game ball can be appropriately distributed according to its passing speed (for example, flow speed). Specific examples thereof will be described as a first specific example to a third specific example. First, a first specific example will be described. There are various modes in which the player operates the firing handle 8A. If there is a player who operates the firing handle 8A weakly (a player who reduces the amount of rotation operation), the player who operates the firing handle 8A too strongly. There are also (players who increase the amount of rotation operation). And, if the launch handle 8A is operated too strongly, the flow speed (passing speed) of the game ball flowing down the game area PE becomes faster, and the frequency of entering the predetermined advantageous ball portion becomes unexpectedly high. There is. On the other hand, according to the configuration shown in the present invention, each embodiment, each modification, etc., the destination of the game ball whose passing speed (for example, the flow speed) is increased by the action of increasing the launch strength of the game ball, etc. The destination of other game balls (game balls with a planned passing speed) can be appropriately distributed according to the difference in the passing speed (for example, the falling speed), and the frequency of entering a predetermined advantageous hitting ball portion can be predicted. It is possible to prevent the outside from becoming higher, or to prevent the game ball from entering a predetermined advantageous ball-in-part.

  Next, a second specific example will be described. In certain pachinko halls, there may be cases where the posture where the gaming machine is installed is slightly tilted, or where there is a slightly inclined posture installed in the gaming machine (pachinko machine) installed on the island facility . In other words, the gaming machine, and hence the board surface (front face) of the gaming board 24 is slightly inclined forward to the player side (the gaming machine is not installed in a straight state, and the gaming machine is moved forward toward the upper side. It is arranged slightly tilted so that the lower side is arranged rearward), and the flow velocity of the game ball flowing down the game area may be faster than expected. Then, due to the inclination of the installation posture of the gaming machine, the flow speed (passing speed) of the game ball flowing down the game area PE becomes unexpectedly high, and the frequency of entering the predetermined advantageous ball entering area is unexpectedly high. There are cases where it becomes higher. Also in this case, according to the configuration shown in the present invention, each embodiment, each modification, etc., the destination of the game ball having a higher passing speed (for example, the flow-down speed) and other game balls (game balls having a predetermined passing speed) ) Can be suitably distributed according to the difference in the passing speed (for example, the flow speed), and it is possible to prevent the frequency of entering the predetermined advantageous entrance portion from being unexpectedly high, It is possible to prevent a game ball from entering the entrance portion.

  Further, a third specific example will be described. Due to the influence of the weather (for example, continued sunshine) and the air conditioning of the pachinko hall (for example, when the set temperature of the air conditioner is low and the set humidity is low), the degree of drying of the gaming machine and its components (game board, etc.) In some cases, the flow velocity of the game ball flowing down the game area becomes faster than expected, and the frequency of entering the predetermined advantageous ball entry portion is unexpectedly high. Also in this case, according to the configuration shown in the present invention, each embodiment, each modification, etc., the destination of the game ball having a higher passing speed (for example, the flow-down speed) and other game balls (game balls having a predetermined passing speed) ) Can be suitably distributed according to the difference in the passing speed (for example, the flow speed), and it is possible to prevent the frequency of entering the predetermined advantageous entrance portion from being unexpectedly high, It is possible to prevent a game ball from entering the entrance portion. However, the passing speed of the game ball (for example, the flow-down speed) is increased without being based on the player's cheating, and the frequency of entering the predetermined advantageous entrance part is unexpectedly high, or the predetermined advantageous entry The possibility of entering the ball portion is not limited to the cases shown in the first to third specific examples. That is, in the configuration shown in the present invention, each embodiment, each modification, etc., the passing speed (flowing speed) of a game ball (which may be an illegal ball or a regular ball) launched by a predetermined launching unit is increased. Thus, the present invention can be applied to various gaming machines that may obtain advantageous results for the player. For example, as shown in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-10741), a gaming machine that can obtain a predetermined profit when a game ball reaches a “special area” within a predetermined time limit, or the aforementioned Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-350831) discloses an operation port provided with an electric accessory that is open for a certain period of time, and when a game ball enters the operation port, a predetermined profit is obtained. According to the configuration shown in the present invention, each embodiment, each modification, etc., the destination of the game ball having a higher passing speed (for example, the flow-down speed) and other game balls (of the expected passing speed) The destination of the game ball) can be suitably distributed according to the difference in passage speed (for example, flow speed). As a result, the frequency of entering a predetermined advantageous entrance portion (for example, a special area or a flow path leading to the special area, a predetermined working port or a flow path leading to the predetermined working port, etc.) is unexpectedly increased, It is possible to prevent the ball from entering a predetermined advantageous ball entry portion.

  What has been described above as specific examples 1 to 3 and the like will be further described by the following characteristics (configuration).
