Abstract

To provide shooting means of a game machine capable of delaying a change in output in drive of a shooting part with a simple configuration according to the amount of operation of an operation part.SOLUTION: For example during a jackpot game, a player targets entry into a major winning hole and performs rightward shooting by rotating a shooting lever fully in a rotation range in a clockwise direction. During a jackpot game round, when nine game balls enter the major winning hole, the major winning hole is closed. At T11 timing before the ninth game ball is shot, the player operates the shooting lever and weakens shooting torque. Middle game balls are shot with about middle torque at T14 timing, nearly reach a right area, and flow down the right area. Corresponding to T17 timing after 0.6 second when the tenth game ball is shot, the player operates the shooting lever and increases shooting torque. Although game balls are shot to the right area, torque does not become fully large and twisting shooting fails since a change in a drive signal is delayed as compared with a change in an operation signal by an RC circuit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6

Description

  The present invention relates to a launching means of a gaming machine that launches gaming balls toward a game area.

  The game ball launch device adjusts the launch speed of the game ball in accordance with the amount of operation of the launch handle by the player, and launches the game ball toward the game area (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The start winning hole is provided at a position where it becomes easy to win when the game ball flows down the game area mainly on the left side of the board in the game area. Therefore, the player operates so that the operation amount of the launch handle becomes relatively small so that the gaming ball flows down the left playing area. When the gaming ball has won in the start-up winning opening, the gaming machine acquires a random number triggered by the winning and performs a judgment of acceptance. When the success or failure judgment is won, the gaming machine makes a hit game, and pays out the game balls according to the number of winnings of the game balls to the winning openings provided in the character. The winning opening is provided at a position where it becomes easy to win when the game ball flows down the gaming area mainly on the right side of the board in the gaming area. Therefore, the player operates so that the operation amount of the launch handle becomes relatively large so that the gaming ball flows down the right playing area.

  The winning opening is provided with an open / close door. The open / close door is closed by the passage of a predetermined time or by winning of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls. A sensor for detecting the winning of the gaming ball is at the back of the winning opening, and the open / close door is closed when the sensor detects the winning of the gaming ball. Therefore, a slight time difference occurs between the timing when the game ball reaches the winning opening and the timing when the open / close door is closed. In the case where the predetermined number + 1 (11th) game balls win (so-called over winning) before the predetermined number (10th) of game balls reach the winning opening and the opening / closing door is closed. There is. When the over prize is won, the player can obtain a game ball corresponding to the predetermined number + 1 number of prizes.

  A technique known as so-called twisting is known in which an over-winning is intentionally generated and more gaming balls are acquired in one big hit. For example, when the predetermined number of game balls are hit, the amount of operation of the launch handle is reduced, and the shot speed is reduced while aiming at the right game area. At the time of launch of the predetermined number +1 ball, the operation amount of the launch handle is increased to accelerate the launch speed. The predetermined number + 1 game ball catches up with the timing at which the predetermined number of game balls reach the winning opening by twisting, and the winning opening is over-winning.

JP, 2014-230964, A

  However, the over winning is generally generated randomly as the timing at which the game ball bounced by the game nail reaches the winning opening changes. Therefore, if the game is overtyped intentionally by twisting, there may be an unexpected loss for the game arcade.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a launching means of a gaming machine capable of delaying the change of the output in the driving of the launching unit according to the operation amount of the operating unit with a simple configuration.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, the operation means is provided in the gaming machine and outputs an operation signal of a size according to the amount of operation of the first operation unit by the player, and toward the gaming area provided in the gaming board The driving unit is provided between a drive unit for driving a launch unit for launching a game ball with an output based on the size of the operation signal, the operation unit and the drive unit, and the size of the operation signal does not change A drive signal having the same magnitude as the manipulation signal is output, and when the magnitude of the manipulation signal changes, the magnitude changes later than the manipulation signal toward the magnitude of the manipulation signal after the change. And a delay means for outputting a drive signal, wherein the drive means drives the launcher with an output according to the magnitude of the drive signal output by the delay means. Is provided.

  Since the magnitude of the drive signal for driving the drive means is the same as the magnitude of the operation signal corresponding to the amount of operation of the first operation unit, the drive means emits an output according to the amount of operation of the first operation portion Drive the department. The delay means changes the magnitude of the drive signal in accordance with the operation signal when there is a change in the magnitude of the operation signal, but delays the change. That is, even if the player operates the first operation unit so that the output of the launch unit rapidly increases, the output of the launch unit does not suddenly increase but gradually increases. Therefore, after the player operates the first operation unit so that, for example, the first ball is struck weakly, the player performs an abrupt operation on the first operation unit so that the strike of the second ball becomes stronger than the first ball. Even with the delay of the change of the drive signal, the second ball is shot slightly stronger than the first ball. Therefore, the gaming machine has a simple configuration in which the delay means is provided between the operation means and the drive means, delaying the change of the output in the drive of the launcher according to the operation amount of the first operation unit Can be prevented.

  In the present aspect, the delay means may comprise an RC circuit. The delaying means can delay the change of the output in the drive of the emission unit according to the operation amount of the first operation unit with a simple configuration using the RC circuit composed of the resistor and the capacitor.

  In this aspect, the operation means outputs an acceptance signal when an operation of the second operation unit by the player is accepted, and an intermittent signal output which intermittently outputs an intermittent signal each time a predetermined first time has elapsed. Means, and drive permission means for outputting a permission signal for permitting driving of the drive means when the reception signal is inputted from the operation means at the time of input of the intermittent signal, the drive means comprising the drive means The emission unit may be driven with an output according to the magnitude of the drive signal, triggered by the output of the permission signal by the permission means. The drive permission means does not output the permission signal if there is no input of the reception signal at the time of input of the intermittent signal every first time even if the reception signal is input by the operation of the player. The operation timing of the second operation unit by the player is arbitrary, and an arbitrary difference time of 0 or more and less than the first time is generated between the input timing of the intermittent signal. Therefore, the drive permission means can delay the permission signal by the difference time with respect to the reception signal and output it. Therefore, the driving means can fire the game ball by driving the launcher with a simple configuration, with a delay of an arbitrary time within the first time with respect to the timing at which the player operates the second operation unit. By the way, for example, when a player is seated in front of a gaming machine and starts launching a game ball, the operation signal is changed by the operation of the first operation unit, so that the change of the drive signal is delayed and the ball is generated There is sex. In such a case, the permission signal is output late, so that the permission signal is output when the change in the drive signal catches up with the change in the operation signal to some extent even if the change in the drive signal is delayed. The launch means can suppress the generation of a foul ball.

  This aspect starts output of an instruction signal instructing driving of the drive means in response to the input of the permission signal, and intermittently performs output of the instruction signal each time a predetermined second time elapses. An instruction means may be provided, and the drive means may be driven according to the instruction signal to fire the gaming ball. The drive instruction means outputs the first instruction signal triggered by the input of the permission signal, and thereafter intermittently outputs the instruction signal every second time. Therefore, the driving means may fire the gaming ball every second time after firing the gaming ball by delaying an arbitrary time within the first time with respect to the timing at which the player operates the second operation unit. it can.

  In this aspect, the drive permission unit stops the output of the permission signal when the output of the permission signal is continuously performed from the start of the output and the reception signal is not input at the time of the input of the intermittent signal. The drive instruction unit may stop the output of the instruction signal when the input of the permission signal is stopped. Even if the player stops operating the second operation unit and there is no input of the acceptance signal, the drive permission means continues to output the permission signal until the next intermittent signal is input. Therefore, when the output timing of the instruction signal is reached between the time the player stops the operation and the time the output of the permission signal is stopped, the drive instruction means outputs the instruction signal. Therefore, the driving means can stop the firing of the gaming ball by delaying the time when the player finishes the operation of the second operation unit by an arbitrary time within the first time.

In the present embodiment, the state of signal voltage is described for the input and output of each signal between circuits, but for convenience, the state of signal voltage is not shown, and only the presence or absence of a signal will be described. There is a case. The presence or absence of the signal in this case indicates the high state and the low state of the signal voltage, respectively. Specifically, for example, the description “the state of the signal output from the circuit changes from low to high” may be described as “the circuit outputs a signal” for convenience.

  The launch control board 100 controls the drive of the launch motor 98 based on the signals output from the ball stop switch 75, the touch sensor 76 and the launch volume 77. In the emission control substrate 100, a flip flop 110, an oscillation circuit 160, frequency dividing circuits 130 and 170, an AND gate 150, a drive control circuit 190, a power supply circuit 180, and an RC circuit 120 are formed. The flip-flop 110 is a so-called D-type flip-flop, and is a logic circuit that holds the value of D input at the rising edge of the clock (CLK) input as Q output. For convenience, the signal output from the flip flop 110 from the Q terminal is referred to as a "permission signal".

  The oscillation circuit 160 is a circuit that generates a clock pulse of a predetermined frequency. The divider circuits 130 and 170 are counter circuits that output a pulse whose cycle of the clock pulse is arbitrarily delayed. The clock pulses output from the oscillator circuit 160 are input to the divider circuits 130 and 170. The divider circuits 130 and 170 count the number of rising edges of the clock pulse and output a pulse wave that rises once for each predetermined number of counts. The divider circuit 130 outputs a pulse wave that generates one pulse every 0.27 seconds, and inputs the pulse wave to the CLK terminal of the flip flop 110. For convenience, the pulse wave output from the divider circuit 130 is referred to as an "intermittent signal". The divider circuit 170 outputs a pulse wave that generates one pulse every 0.6 seconds, and inputs the pulse wave to the drive control circuit 190. For convenience, the pulse wave output from the frequency divider circuit 170 is referred to as an "instruction signal".

  The AND gate 150 is a logic circuit that accepts input of signals from two input terminals and outputs High only when both inputs are High. The touch sensor 76 and the ball stop switch 75 are connected to input terminals of the AND gate 150, respectively. The output terminal of the AND gate 150 is connected to the D terminal of the flip flop 110. For convenience, a signal output from the output terminal of the AND gate 150 is referred to as a "reception signal". The Q terminal of the flip flop 110 is connected to the input terminal of the divider circuit 170. Therefore, the flip-flop 110 outputs the enabling signal high and holds it high if the intermittent signal is rising from low to high and the receiving signal is high, and outputs the enabling signal low if the receiving signal is low. And hold it low. Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience, rising of the signal from Low to High is simply referred to as “rising”. The divider circuit 170 starts outputting a pulse wave (instruction signal) every 0.6 seconds when the Q output (permission signal) of the flip-flop 110 rises.

  The output terminal of the divider circuit 170 is connected to the input terminal of the drive control circuit 190. The drive control circuit 190 receives the supply of power from the power supply circuit 180 connected to the power supply substrate 42, and controls the drive of the firing motor 98. A firing volume 77 is connected to the drive control circuit 190 via the RC circuit 120. For convenience, the signal output from the firing volume 77 is referred to as "operation signal". The firing volume 77 is connected to the power supply circuit 180 and a voltage of +5 V is applied across the variable resistor. The potential of the output terminal of the discharge volume 77 is displaced according to the rotation angle of the discharge lever 73, and is input to the RC circuit 120 as an operation signal. Therefore, when the firing lever 73 is not operated, the resistance value of the firing volume 77 is infinite, and the potential of the operation signal is the reference potential (for example, 0 V).

  The RC circuit 120 is a known circuit composed of a resistor and a capacitor. When the magnitude of the operation signal input from the emission volume 77 changes, the RC circuit 120 outputs a signal obtained by delaying the change to the drive control circuit 190. For convenience, the signal output from the RC circuit 120 is referred to as a “drive signal”. The drive control circuit 190 responds to the amount of rotation of the firing volume 77 based on the drive signal input from the RC circuit 120 when the pulse wave (instruction signal) every 0.6 seconds output from the divider circuit 170 rises. An exciting current of another magnitude is supplied to the firing motor 98.

  Therefore, when the touch sensor 76 is OFF (noncontact) or when the ball stop switch 75 is OFF (during operation), there is no pulse wave input from the divider circuit 170 in the drive control circuit 190, and the firing motor 98 is driven. do not do. In addition, when the discharge lever 73 is not operated and the resistance value of the discharge volume 77 is infinite, no excitation current flows from the drive control circuit 190, and the discharge motor 98 is not driven. That is, the shooting motor 98 is driven when the shooting lever 73 is operated with the touch sensor 76 ON (in contact) and the ball stop switch 75 ON (non-operation).

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be briefly described. In the normal gaming state, the game is played by hitting left. When the game ball fired from the launch device 37 wins the special symbol start winning opening 15 by the operation of the launch handle 7, the first jackpot random number, the first special symbol determination random number and the first variation pattern determination random number are acquired, A big hit decision is made. The first big hit random number, the first special symbol determination random number, and the first variation pattern determination random number are acquired by reading out the values of the random number acquisition counters (not shown) provided in the RAM 52 corresponding to the respective random numbers. . In the first jackpot determination, it is determined whether the first jackpot random number is a big hit or a loss. The first special symbol display portion of the symbol display portion 24 displays one of the plurality of first special symbols based on the result of the first jackpot determination and the first special symbol determination random number. In the process, the presentation according to the special symbol variation pattern based on the first variation pattern determination random number is executed. As a result of the first jackpot determination, when it is determined that it is a jackpot, a jackpot game in which the big winning opening 18 is opened is executed. During the jackpot game, the game is played with a right strike.

  When the game ball passes the normal symbol start gate 12, a normal hit determination is made. When transitioning to the short time gaming state after the end of the big hit game, the probability of being determined as a normal hit in the normal hit determination becomes high. Therefore, during the time saving game, the game is played with a right strike. If the result of the ordinary hitting judgment is that it is judged as an ordinary hitting, the ordinary motorized jack 13 is released. When the gaming ball wins the ordinary electric role 13, the second big hit random number, the second special symbol determination random number and the second variation pattern determination random number are acquired, and the second big hit determination is performed. The second big hit random number, the second special symbol determination random number and the second variation pattern determination random number are obtained by reading out the value of the random number obtaining counter (not shown) provided in the RAM 52 corresponding to each random number. . The effect according to the special symbol variation pattern based on the second variation pattern determination random number is executed, and the second special symbol display portion of the symbol display portion 24 is determined based on the result of the second jackpot determination and the second special symbol determination random number Two special symbols are displayed. As a result of the second jackpot determination, if it is determined that it is a jackpot, a jackpot game is executed as described above.

  The operation of the launcher 37 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. The following describes, by way of example, the operation of the firing handle 7 that may be performed by some players during a big hit game. The launcher 37 operates independently of the control of the pachinko machine 1 by the control unit 40. Before T2 timing, it is a time before the big winning opening 18 is opened. The effect at the start of the big hit game is performed, and the player, for example, removes the hand from the launch handle 7 to appreciate the effect at the start of the big hit. The contact of the ball stop switch 75 is always closed, and its output is High. Further, since the operation of the emission handle 7 is not performed, the output of the touch sensor 76 is Low. Therefore, the acceptance signal output by the AND gate 150 before the T2 timing is Low. When the player stops launching the game ball during the game, the player operates the ball stop switch 75 while holding the firing handle 7. In this case, although the output of the touch sensor 76 is High, the output of the ball stop switch 75 is Low, so the reception signal is Low as in the case before the T2 timing.

  The intermittent signal output from the divider circuit 130 is always input to the flip flop 110, and temporarily becomes High once in 0.27 seconds. Since the acceptance signal when the intermittent signal rises at the T1 timing is Low, the permission signal output from the flip flop 110 is maintained at Low. When the special winning opening 18 is opened at T2 timing and the player grips the firing handle 7, the output of the touch sensor 76 becomes High. Since the ball stop switch 75 outputs High if it is not operated, the acceptance signal output from the AND gate 150 becomes High. At T2 timing, the intermittent signal is low, so the enable signal output from the flip flop 110 is maintained low.

  In order to hit the game ball to the right, the player turns the firing lever 73 of the firing handle 7 clockwise all the way to the full swing range. The resistance value of the firing volume 77 decreases according to the amount of rotation. The operation signal which is the minimum value at the T2 timing when the operation of the firing lever 73 is started becomes the maximum value at the T3 timing.

  The RC circuit 120 outputs to the drive control circuit 190 a drive signal that increases following the operation signal that increases from T2 to T3 timing. The drive signal gradually increases from timing T2 to timing T6, and at timing T6, it becomes a signal having a magnitude corresponding to the operation signal at timing T3.

  Since the acceptance signal is High at T4 timing at which the intermittent signal first rises after T2 timing, the permission signal output from the flip flop 110 becomes High, and thereafter is maintained High. The divider circuit 170 outputs High as an instruction signal at T4 timing when the permission signal has risen. The drive control circuit 190 supplies, to the firing motor 98, an excitation current having a magnitude corresponding to the magnitude of the drive signal at the T4 timing when the instruction signal has risen. While the operation signal is at the maximum value at the T4 timing, the drive signal is not at the maximum value because it increases from the T2 to the T6 timing. The firing motor 98 is driven by a torque corresponding to the magnitude of the drive signal at the T4 timing, and the hitting ball 95 strikes the game ball toward the game area 4.

  In this manner, the permission signal rises at T4 timing delayed by D1 time from the T2 timing at which the player operates the launch handle 7, and the torque corresponds to the magnitude at the T4 timing of the drive signal during increase from T2 to T6 timing. The firing motor 98 is driven at In other words, if the timing at which the player operates the firing handle 7 does not coincide with the rise timing of the intermittent signal, the permission signal does not rise to the timing of the next rise of the intermittent signal. Is delayed by D1 hours. Since the intermittent signal rises once in 0.27 seconds, D1 time is 0 seconds or more and less than 0.27 seconds. The timing at which the player operates the launch handle 7 is arbitrary. Therefore, the launcher 37 can delay the first launch timing of the gaming ball from the operation timing of the launch handle 7 by any D1 time of 0 seconds or more and less than 0.27 seconds.

  By the way, when the launch of the game ball is started, the change of the drive signal is delayed by the RC circuit 120 rather than the operation signal, so the increase of the torque of the launch motor 98 is delayed with respect to the operation of the launch handle 7 and the launch of the game ball. May become weak and a foul ball may occur. However, as described above, by delaying the first firing timing of the gaming ball by an arbitrary D1 time from 0 seconds to less than 0.27 seconds from the operation timing of the firing handle 7, the launching device 37 can The torque of 98 can be increased. For this reason, the launcher 37 can suppress the generation of a foul ball.

  The instruction signal output from the divider circuit 170 rises once in 0.6 seconds while the player makes a right strike and the permission signal remains High at the T4 timing and is thereafter maintained High. The game ball is shot toward the game area 4 by driving the firing motor 98 at a torque corresponding to the magnitude of the drive signal at that time, one shot every 0.6 seconds. When the instruction signal rises at the timing T5, the drive signal has not reached the maximum value yet, but the gaming ball is launched with a torque corresponding to the magnitude of the drive signal at that time.

  The special winning opening 18 is closed when, for example, nine game balls are won. If, for example, the player strikes the right area 4R in the launch of the ninth game ball, it weakens the torque, and in the launch of the tenth game ball, the player intensifies the torque, the ninth ball And there is a possibility that the game ball of the 10th ball can aim at the over prize which the prize winning hole 18 wins at substantially the same time. When twisting, in preparation for twisting, the player sets the firing lever 73 of the firing handle 7 at timing T11 to T12 before 0.6 seconds have elapsed from the timing at which the gaming ball was struck first. While turning to the middle of the rotation range in the counterclockwise direction, the right strike is maintained. The resistance value of the firing volume 77 increases in accordance with the amount of rotation. The operation signal, which is the maximum value at the timing of T11 when the operation of the firing lever 73 is started, becomes an intermediate value at the timing of T12.

  The RC circuit 120 outputs, to the drive control circuit 190, a drive signal that decreases following the operation signal that decreases to the T11 to T12 timing. The drive signal gradually decreases to the timing of T11 to T13. The T13 timing is a signal having a magnitude corresponding to the magnitude at which the operation signal has reached the T12 timing. The player maintains the pivoting amount of the firing lever 73 after the T12 timing. Therefore, the magnitude of the drive signal is maintained even when the instruction signal rises at the timing T14. The game ball is hit with a medium torque corresponding to the magnitude of the drive signal maintained after the T13 timing, and reaches, for example, the right area 4R and flows down the right area 4R.

  The player rotates the firing lever 73 of the firing handle 7 clockwise to the full rotation range at T15 to T16 timing before 0.6 seconds have elapsed from the T14 timing at which the gaming ball was hit with a moderate torque. Rotate. The operation signal reaches its maximum value at T16 timing. The drive signal gradually increases to timing T15 to timing T18, and the timing T18 becomes a signal having a magnitude corresponding to the magnitude of the operation signal maintained after timing T16. The instruction signal rises at T17 timing. At T17 timing, the gaming ball is hit with a torque corresponding to a drive signal that has not reached the maximum value while the size is increasing.

  As described above, since the change of the drive signal is delayed by the RC circuit 120 more than the operation signal, when the player performs a strike, the gaming ball to be launched later is launched to the right area 4R, but the ball speed is not maximum. So, I can not catch up with the game ball hit at T14 timing. Therefore, the game ball launched later can not win in time with the timing when the previously launched game ball wins the special symbol start winning opening 15 or the big winning opening 18, and the twisting fails.

  When the big hit game is over and, for example, the player releases the shooting handle 7 to stop the operation at time T22, the acceptance signal output from the AND gate 150 becomes low. The acceptance signal when the intermittent signal rises at T21 timing before T22 timing is High, and the permission signal is maintained at High until T25 timing when the intermittent signal next rises. Therefore, when the rise timing of the instruction signal every 0.6 seconds is reached at the T24 timing between the T21 to T25 timings, since the permission signal is maintained at High, the instruction signal rises and the launch of the game ball is performed. .

  Further, when the player releases the shooting handle 7 at timing T22, the firing lever 73 pivots counterclockwise to the full pivot range by the biasing force of the spring. The resistance value of the firing volume 77 increases in accordance with the amount of rotation. The operation signal which is the maximum value at the timing T22 when the player releases the shooting handle 7 becomes the minimum value at the timing T23. The drive signal gradually decreases at timing T22 to T26. Therefore, when the launch of the gaming ball is performed at the T23 timing, the gaming ball is launched with a torque smaller than the maximum value, corresponding to the magnitude of the drive signal at that time.

  Since the intermittent signal rises at T25 timing and the acceptance signal is Low at this time, the permission signal becomes Low, and thereafter it is maintained Low. The divider circuit 170 subsequently stops the output of the instruction signal.

  In this manner, the permission signal becomes Low at T25 timing delayed by D2 time from the T22 timing at which the player has stopped operating the firing handle 7, and the driving of the firing motor 98 is stopped. In other words, if the timing at which the player stops operating the firing handle 7 does not coincide with the rise timing of the intermittent signal, the permission signal is maintained at High until the next rise timing of the intermittent signal. The timing for stopping driving is delayed by D2 hours. Since the intermittent signal rises once in 0.27 seconds, D2 time is 0 seconds or more and less than 0.27 seconds. Then, the timing at which the player stops the operation of the firing handle 7 is arbitrary. Therefore, the launcher 37 can delay the timing at which the permission signal becomes Low for any D2 time from 0 seconds to less than 0.27 seconds with respect to the timing at which the player has stopped firing the gaming ball. Therefore, when reaching the rise timing of the instruction signal every 0.6 seconds during D2 time, the launcher 37 may launch the game ball while the player has stopped the operation of the launch handle 7 it can.

  As described above, since the magnitude of the drive signal for driving the firing motor 98 by the drive control circuit 190 is the same as the magnitude of the operation signal corresponding to the amount of operation of the firing lever 73, the firing motor 98 The hitting rod 95 is driven with an output (torque) corresponding to the operation amount of the lever 73. When there is a change in the magnitude of the operation signal, the RC circuit 120 follows the operation signal to change the magnitude of the drive signal, but delays the change. That is, even if the player operates the shooting lever 73 so that the output of the bat 95 rapidly increases, the output of the bat 95 does not suddenly increase but gradually increases. Therefore, even if the player operates the shooting lever 73 so that, for example, the first ball is shot weakly, even if the player makes a sudden operation on the shooting lever 73 so that the second ball is stronger than the first ball. The second ball is shot slightly stronger than the first ball due to the delay of the change of the drive signal. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 has a simple configuration in which the RC circuit 120 is provided between the firing volume 77 and the drive control circuit 190, and delays the change of the output in the driving of the hitting rod 95 according to the operation amount of the firing lever 73, It is possible to prevent the player from making a strike.

  The RC circuit 120 can delay the change of the output in the driving of the hitting rod 95 according to the operation amount of the firing lever 73 with a simple configuration including a resistor and a capacitor.

  The flip-flop 110 does not output the permission signal if there is no input of the acceptance signal at the time of the input of the intermittent signal every 0.27 seconds, even if there is the input of the acceptance signal by the operation of the player. The operation timing of the ball stop switch 75 or the touch sensor 76 by the player is arbitrary, and an arbitrary difference time of 0 or more and less than 0.27 seconds is generated between the input timing of the intermittent signal. Therefore, the flip flop 110 can delay the permission signal by the difference time with respect to the reception signal and output it. Therefore, the drive control circuit 190 has a simple configuration, drives the firing motor 98 by delaying an arbitrary time within 0.27 seconds with respect to the timing at which the player operates the ball stop switch 75 or the touch sensor 76 to hit the ball.槌 95 can fire game balls. By the way, for example, when the player is seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 and starts launching the game ball, the operation signal is changed by the operation of the firing lever 73, so that the change of the drive signal is delayed and the ball can be generated. There is sex. In such a case, the permission signal is output late, so that the permission signal is output when the change in the drive signal catches up with the change in the operation signal to some extent even if the change in the drive signal is delayed. The launcher 37 can suppress the generation of farballs.

  The divider circuit 170 outputs the first instruction signal triggered by the input of the enabling signal, and thereafter intermittently outputs the instruction signal every 0.6 seconds. Therefore, the firing motor 98 is delayed every arbitrary time within 0.27 seconds with respect to the timing at which the player operates the ball stop switch 75 and the touch sensor 76 every 0.6 seconds after firing the gaming ball, The game ball can be fired.

  Even if the player stops operating the ball stop switch 75 or the touch sensor 76 and there is no input of the acceptance signal, the flip flop 110 continues to output the permission signal until the next intermittent signal is input. Therefore, when the output timing of the instruction signal is reached after the player stops the operation and before the output of the permission signal is stopped, the divider circuit 170 outputs the instruction signal. Therefore, the drive control circuit 190 can delay the firing of the gaming ball by an arbitrary time within 0.27 seconds with respect to the timing at which the player finishes the operation of the ball stop switch 75 or the touch sensor 76.

  It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments detailed above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. In this embodiment, in the operation of the gaming ball that strikes first in the case of performing twisting, an example is described in the timing chart of FIG. 6 in which the process of decreasing the drive signal does not overlap with the timing of launch where the instruction signal rises. , May overlap. If the process of decreasing the drive signal and the timing of launch where the instruction signal rises overlap, the ball speed of the game ball launched earlier can not be sufficiently slowed, so the difference between the ball speed of the game ball launched later is sufficient. Can not be secured, so it is possible to make the strike fail. Therefore, if the timing of launch where the instruction signal rises and at least one of the decreasing process or the increasing process of the drive signal overlap, it is possible to sufficiently prevent the twisting.

  The RC circuit 120 can change the degree of delay of the change of the drive signal with respect to the change of the operation signal by adjusting the time constant. Therefore, for example, twisting may be reliably prevented by setting the time constant of the RC circuit 120 so that it takes 0.6 seconds or more to change the drive signal when the operation signal is changed. Further, the output intervals of the pulse waves generated by the divider circuit 130 and the divider circuit 170 may be changed as appropriate. In addition, the frequency divider circuit 130 and the flip flop 110 may be omitted. In this case, the reception signal output from the AND gate 150 may be input to the divider circuit 170 as a permission signal.

  Further, instead of the RC circuit 120, a logic circuit that performs the same operation as the RC circuit and an AD / DA converter may be provided. In this case, the operation signal input from the emission volume 77 is converted into digital data by the AD converter, the data in which the change of the operation signal is delayed is calculated by the logic circuit, and the drive control circuit is DA converted by the DA converter. Input to 190 may drive the firing motor 98. Alternatively, a CPU may be provided to emulate operations of the RC circuit 120 and the flip flop 110 by a program, and drive signals and instruction signals may be input to the drive control circuit 190 to drive the firing motor 98.

  The launcher 37 causes a delay of D1 time from the timing at which the player operates the launch handle 7 to the first launch timing of the gaming ball. Furthermore, the launcher 37 causes a delay of D2 time from the timing when the player stops the operation of the launch handle 7 until the permission signal becomes Low. Not limited to this, the launcher 37 may be configured not to generate one of the D1 time delay and the D2 time delay.
