[basic specifications]
Hereinafter, the basic specifications of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a table showing basic specifications of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Specifically, FIG. 6A is a table showing the specifications of the special symbol game. Further, FIG. 6B is a table showing the specifications of the normal symbol game. Moreover, FIG.6 (c) is a table | surface which shows distribution of a hit. Moreover, FIG.6 (d) is a table | surface which shows the kind of hit. The data in the tables shown in FIGS. 6A to 6D are stored in the main ROM 102 as a table.

  In the special symbol game, the jackpot determination is performed in a low probability state or a high probability state. As described above, in the special symbol game, the gaming state in which the jackpot determination is performed in the low probability state is simply referred to as the low probability state (or the normal state or the non-deterministic state). Also, in the special symbol game, the gaming state in which the jackpot determination is performed in the high probability state is simply referred to as a high probability state (or a probability variation state). In this way, when the gaming state is in the definite changing state, the player is given a more advantageous state than the normal state.

  Further, in the normal symbol game, normal symbol determination is performed in a high probability state. Further, when the result of the normal symbol determination is a hit, the opening (normal hit game) of the normal electric character 460 is performed for a relatively long time. As described above, in the normal symbol game, the game state in which the normal symbol determination is performed in a high probability state and the opening of the normal motorized part 460 is performed for a relatively long time is referred to as the power support state. In addition, in a power support state, the time per normal symbol determination will be a time shorter than the case where it is not a power support state. As described above, a state that is in the power support state and in which the time per normal symbol determination is performed in a short time is referred to as a time saving state. In addition, the high probability state of the normal symbol determination is configured to be transitionable when the result of the big hit determination is a big hit or the like. Further, the high probability state of the normal symbol determination is ended when a predetermined ending condition is satisfied, for example, when the time saving state is ended.

  In the normal symbol game, the normal symbol determination is not performed in the gaming state other than the time saving state. As described above, a gaming state (a gaming state other than the time saving state) in which the normal symbol determination is not performed is referred to as a normal state (or a non-time saving state). In this way, when the gaming state becomes the short time state, the player is given a more advantageous state than the non-short time state. Note that the time saving state is continued until, for example, hit determination (big hit determination and small hit determination) in the special symbol game is performed a predetermined number of times after shifting from the normal state.

  As described above, the normal state is a gaming state in which a big hit determination is made in a low probability state in the special symbol game, and indicates a gaming state in which the normal symbol determination is not performed in the normal symbol game.

  First, the specifications of the special symbol game will be described with reference to FIG. 6 (a).

  As shown in FIG. 6A, in the special symbol game, the probability (hereinafter referred to as the jackpot probability) that the result of the jackpot determination in the low probability state (normal state) is the jackpot is the first starting port 5442 and the second starting port In any start winning of the starting opening 440, it is commonly set to 1/200 (one coefficient with respect to 200 random numbers). In addition, the jackpot probability in the high probability state (probability change state) is 1/100 (common to 200 random numbers) commonly in either of the first start hole 5442 and the second start hole 440 for the start winning combination. Is set to 2). In addition, the probability (hereinafter referred to as the small hitting probability) that the result of the small hitting judgment hits by the starting winning of the second starting opening 440 is 1⁄4 (50 coefficients for 200 random values) It is set. In addition, the small hit determination by the start winning of the first start port 5442 is not performed. In other words, the probability that the small hitting game is started based on the game ball winning in the second starting opening 440 is started the small hitting game based on the playing ball winning in the first starting opening 5442 Set higher than the probability of

  Further, the number of times ST is commonly set to 100 even in the case of a big hit due to any start winning of the first start opening 5442 and the second start opening 440. Note that ST (special time) is a (variable number type) positive variation state that ends according to the number of times. In the following, unless otherwise noted, "time" indicates the number of hit determinations (big hit determination and small hit determination) after the transition to the positive change state.

  The number of times of ST is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 16 when it becomes an over-probability state described later. Specifically, 0 is displayed as an initial value in the hyper-probability state. Then, each time the determination is repeated (the determination result is lost), it is displayed that a numerical value is added one by one. Then, when the numerical value of the number of times of ST reaches 100, the hyper-probability state ends. The initial value may be not 0 but 100. As described above, when the initial value of the number of times of ST is 100, the numerical value is decremented by one each time the hit determination is repeated once.

  In addition, the number of winning balls for the first start opening 5442 is three, the number of winning balls for the second starting opening 440 is one, and the number of winning balls for the general winning openings 53, 54, 450 is The number of winning balls for the winning in the large winning opening 540 is set to 15, respectively. Further, the maximum winning count per opening of the big winning opening 540 in the big hit game is set to 10 counts. In addition, the maximum winning count per opening of the normal motorized role product 460 in the normal symbol game is set to 10 counts. Moreover, in the case of any start winning of the first start opening 5442 and the second start opening 440, the number of jackpot symbols is commonly set to 100. In addition, the number of small hit symbols in the case of the start winning of the second start opening 440 is set to 100.

  Next, the specifications of the normal symbol game will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (b), in the normal symbol game, normal symbol determination is not performed in a low probability state. Also, the probability that the result of the normal symbol determination in the high probability state will be hit is set to 100/100. Also, if the result of the normal symbol determination is a hit, the second starting port 440 (normally-powered electric part 460) is opened three times for 1.5 seconds which is a relatively long time.

  Next, the distribution of the big hit and the small hit will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6C, the big hit by the start winning of the first starting port 5442 is divided into six types of big hit contents (big hit types). Specifically, the jackpot due to the start winning of the first starting opening 5442 is divided into 15R positive variation, 10R positive variation, 5R positive variation, 15R normal, 10R normal, and 5R normal. The contents of these jackpots are set to respectively correspond to the special figure (1) jackpot -1 to 6 as a jackpot by the start winning of the first starting opening 5442.

  Specifically, the 15R probability variation is set corresponding to the special figure (1) jackpot -1. In addition, a substantial 10 R probability variation is set corresponding to the special figure (1) jackpot -2. In addition, a substantial 5R probability variation is set corresponding to the special figure (1) jackpot -3. Moreover, 15R normal is set corresponding to special figure (1) big hit -4. Also, the special 10R normal is set corresponding to the special figure (1) jackpot -5. Also, the special 5R normal is set corresponding to the special figure (1) jackpot -6.

  Moreover, the big hit by the start winning of the 2nd starting opening 440 is distributed to six types of big hit contents (big hit type). Specifically, the jackpot due to the start winning of the second start opening 440 is divided into 15R positive variation, real falling small diameter variation, special positive variation, 15R normal normal floating number, normal, special normal. The contents of these jackpots are set to correspond to the special figure (2) jackpot -1 to 6 as a jackpot by the start winning of the second start port 440, respectively.

  Specifically, a 15R probability variation is set corresponding to the special figure (2) jackpot -1. Further, in correspondence with the special figure (2) jackpot -2, a substantial dropout probability variation is set. In addition, special probability variation is set corresponding to special figure (2) jackpot -3. Moreover, 15R normal is set corresponding to special figure (2) big hit -4. In addition, a small number of balls are usually set corresponding to the special figure (2) jackpot -5. In addition, special normal is set corresponding to special figure (2) jackpot -6.

  Also, the small hit is divided into two types of small hit contents (small hit types). Specifically, the small hit is distributed to open twice (1) and open twice (2). The contents of these small hits are set to correspond to the special figure (2) small hits -1 and 2 as small hits respectively. Specifically, opening (1) is set twice corresponding to special view (2) small hit -1. Moreover, opening (2) is set twice corresponding to special figure (2) small hit -2.

  Here, the column (notation) of "number" shown in the table of Drawing 6 (c) shows the number of big hit symbols or the number of small hit symbols corresponding to each hit contents. That is, since the number of big hit symbols by the start winning of the first starting opening 5442 is 100 as described above, the special figure (1) big hit -1 to 6 is a big hit by starting winning of the first starting opening 5442, The probability (expected value) to be allocated to each is set to be 25%, 15%, 10%, 25%, 15%, 10%. Also, similarly, when the special figure (2) jackpot -1 to 6 is a jackpot due to the start winning of the second starting port 440, the probability (expected value) of each being assigned is 25%, 15%, 10%, It is set to be 25%, 15%, 10%. Similarly, when the special figure (2) small hit -1 and 2 are small hits, the probability (expected value) to be allocated is set to 98% and 2%, respectively.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 6C, the special figure (1) big hit -1 to 6, the special figure (2) big hit -1 to 6 and the special figure (2) small hit -1 and 2, The time reduction number of times given after the end of each hit game (big hit game or small hit game) is set. The number of time reductions awarded after the end of the hit game is set to be different depending on the state of the special symbol game and the normal symbol game when the big hit judgment or the small hit judgment is made.

  Here, the notation “HH” shown in the table of FIG. 6C indicates that the special symbol game is in a definite variation state and the normal symbol game is in a short time state. Further, the notation "HL" indicates that the special symbol game is in a definite variation state, and the normal symbol game is in a non-short time state. Also, the notation "LH" indicates that the special symbol game is in a non-deterministic state, and the normal symbol game is in a short time state. Also, the notation "LL" indicates that the special symbol game is in a non-deterministic state, and the normal symbol game is in a non-time-short state. Furthermore, the phrase "between high probability" indicates that a special symbol game is given during high probability states, that is, a maximum of 100 times of time reduction is given.

  In such a setting, for example, when the special symbol game is in a non-deterministic state and the normal symbol game is in a non-short time state (in the case of "LL"), the special figure (1) the big hit -1 or 6 will be a big hit , 50 time reductions are given. On the other hand, for example, similarly, in the case of “LL”, when the special figure (1) big hit is a big hit of −2 to 5, time reduction is not given. That is, when the special symbol game is in a non-deterministic state and the normal symbol game is in a non-short state, 35% (special figure (1) big hit-in the case of a big hit by the starting winning combination of the first starting port 5442). In the probability of 25% in the case of 1 + 10% in the case of 25% in the special figure (1) big hit -6), 50 time reductions are given and the time reductions are not given with the remaining 65% of the probability.

  Also, in the case of a small hit, after the small hit game, in principle, the gaming state before the small hit does not change, and is maintained as it is. Specifically, when a small hit occurs during ST, ST is resumed so as to continue counting from the number of times ST related to the small hit determination after the small hit game is over. For example, if a small hit occurs at the 60th time during ST, the ST is resumed so as to count from the 61st time after the small hit game is over. In this case, the remaining number of STs after the small hitting game is 40 will be. Similarly, when a small hit occurs in the time saving state, the time saving state is resumed so as to continue counting from the number of times related to the small hit determination after the small hit game ends.

  In addition, as an exception to the above principle, for example, during the ST, when the small hit occurs at the 100th time (which is the final round of ST), the ST is finished after the small hit game ends (the state before the small hit) Is not maintained). Similarly, for example, if a small hit occurs at the 100th time during the 100th time saving state, the time saving state ends after the small hitting game ends (the state before the small hit is not maintained).

  In the following, the hit content (big hit content and small hit content) will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, 15R positive variation, 15R normal variation, 10R positive variation, 10R normal variation, 5R positive variation, 5R normal variation, special variation, special variation, special variation A slight probability change, a small amount of balls are usually provided. Also, as the small hit content (small hit type), two times open (1) and (2) are provided.

  In the 15R probability variation and 15R normal, when the big hit game is started, the number of open seconds for the large winning opening 540 per round is set at 27.969 seconds in all 15 rounds of all rounds. is there. As described above, in the 15R probability variation and the 15R normal, when the big hit game is started, it is set such that the upper limit number of gaming balls can be won in the big winning opening 540 in all rounds.

  When the big hit game is started, the number of open seconds for the big winning opening 540 per round is 27.96 seconds in the 1st to 10th rounds when the big hit game is started. The number of open seconds of the large winning opening 540 per round is set to 0.102 seconds in the 11th to 15th rounds. As described above, in the real 10R probability change and the real 10R, usually, when the big hit game is started, the game ball is set to be able to be won in the large winning opening 540 in the 1st to 10th rounds, and in the 11th to 15th rounds The game ball is set to be hard to win (substantially impossible) in the special winning opening 540.

  When the big hit game is started, the number of open seconds for the big winning opening 540 per round is 27.96 seconds in the 1st to 5th rounds when the big hit game is started. The number of open seconds of the large winning opening 540 per round is set to 0.102 seconds in the sixth to fifteenth rounds. Thus, in the real 5R probability variation and the real 5R normal, when the big hit game is started, the game ball is set to be able to be won in the large winning opening 540 in the 1st to 5th rounds, and in the 6th to 15th rounds The game ball is set to be hard to win (substantially impossible) in the special winning opening 540.

  The special odds and specials are set so that the big winning opening 540 is opened three times in the first round of the first 15 of all 15 rounds when the jackpot game is started, and the first round The number of open seconds for the large winning opening 540 is set to 0.896 seconds in the first and second opening, and the number of open seconds for the large winning opening 540 is set to 26.466 seconds in the remaining third opening, 2 The number of open seconds of the large winning opening 540 per round in the fifteenth round is a big hit set at 27.966 seconds. Thus, in the special probability change and the special normal, when the big hit game is started, it is difficult to win the game ball in the large winning opening 540 in the first and second opening in the first round (for example, 1 per opening) The game player is set to be able to win an upper limit number of gaming balls in the large winning opening 540 in the remaining third opening and the 2nd to 15th rounds. In the special probability variation and the special normal, the interval between the opening of the second opening and the opening of the third opening in the first round is set to 5.0 seconds.

  When the big hit game is started, the number of open seconds for the large winning opening 540 per round is 1 to 2 out of the 15 rounds when the big hit game is started. The number of open seconds for the large winning opening 540 per round is set to 0.102 seconds in the third to fifteenth rounds. In this way, it is difficult to win the game ball in the big winning opening 540 in all rounds when the big hit game is started normally, when the big hit game is usually started (more specifically, the first and second rounds) For example, it is set such that one game ball is awarded once per opening, and the game ball can not be won approximately after the third round. In addition, an interval between rounds between the 2nd round and the 3rd round is set to 5.0 seconds in the real popping ball small probability variation and the real popping ball small normally.

  The two times open (1) and (2) are small hits that open the big winning opening 540 twice by 0.896 seconds each time a small hit game is started. That is, the small hit game is to operate the large winning opening 540 in a predetermined opening and closing manner, thus, the game is open even if the small hit game is started in (1) and (2) twice It is set so that it is difficult to win the ball in the special winning opening 540 (for example, the degree of winning one prize per opening). In the second opening (1), the small hitting end interval after the second opening of the special winning opening 540 is finished is set to 1.0 seconds. Further, in the case of opening twice (2), the small hitting end interval after the opening of the second big winning opening 540 is finished is set to 5.0 seconds.

  Thus, when the type of the big hit is the special probability change and the special normal, the open second number of the big winning opening 540 in the opening of the first and second rounds of the first round and the small hit (opened twice (1) And (2)) is set to the same 0.896 second as the open second number of the large winning opening 540 in the first and second opening. That is, the special probability change and the special normal and the small hit (twice opened (1) and (2)) have the same opening mode of the big winning opening 540 until the second opening of the big winning opening 540 is finished. It is set. Thus, the special probability change and the special normal big hit game open and close the large winning opening 540 in a predetermined opening and closing mode (pseudo small hit opening and closing mode) that appears to be a small hit game in the first and second opening of the first round. It is

  In the small hit (opened twice (1) and (2)), the hit end intervals after the opening of the second big winning opening 540 is finished are set to be different from each other. Specifically, in the twice open (1), the hit end interval after the opening of the second big winning opening 540 is finished is set to 1.0 seconds. Further, in the twice open (2), the hit end interval after the opening of the second big winning opening 540 is finished is set to 5.0 seconds.

  In addition, the number of seconds between the opening interval between the second opening and the third opening in the special probability variation and the special normal, and the small hitting end interval in the small hitting 2 times in the small hitting are the same as each other. It is set to (5.0 seconds). That is, the special mode and special normal and the small hit twice open (2) are set to the same opening mode of the big winning hole 540 until the third opening of the big winning hole 540 is started. In other words, the special probability variation and the special regular big hit game are found to be a big hit game after the opening of the third round of the first round is performed. Thus, the special probability change and the special normal big hit game are operated in the pseudo small hit opening and closing mode, and then the big winning opening 540 is opened and closed in the specific opening and closing mode (big opening found after opening and closing aspect) which turns out to be a big hit game. It is

  Similarly, if the type of the jackpot is a small hit in the opening of the big winning opening 540 in the opening of the first and second rounds when the real falling ball small probability variation and the real falling ball small normal and the small hit (2 times open The opening seconds of the large winning opening 540 in the first and second opening in the case of (1) and (2)) are set to 0.896 seconds which are identical to each other. That is, the real winning balls small probability change and the real falling balls small normal and the small hit (open twice (1) and (2)), until the second opening of the big winning opening 540 is finished, the big winning opening 540 Is set identically.

  In addition, an inter-round interval between the opening of the second round and the opening of the third round in the case of a small actual variation of the real ball and a small number of the real ball, and a small hit end interval in the small hit twice (2) And are set to the same number of seconds (5.0 seconds) as each other. That is, the opening mode of the big winning opening 540 is until the third opening of the big winning opening 540 is started with the real winning small turning variation and the real hitting small normal and the small hit twice open (2) It is set identically. In this way, the real winning balls small certainty variation and the real falling balls small normal jackpot game, in the opening of the first and second rounds, the large winning opening 540 in a predetermined opening and closing mode (pseudo small hit opening and closing mode) to appear to be a small hit game Open and close.

[Flow of game]
Below, the flow of the game of the pachinko game machine 1 is demonstrated using FIG.7 and FIG.8.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the game is advanced while repeating the transition to the appropriate gaming state at a predetermined timing. Here, the corresponding rendering mode is set to the gaming state. Various effect contents are set in the effect mode. That is, when the game is started, the game mode is shifted to an appropriate game mode, and the effect mode corresponding to the shifted game mode is produced. In the present embodiment, presentation modes 1 to 6 are mainly provided as presentation modes.

  As shown in FIG. 7, at the beginning of a game, in many cases, the gaming state is the normal gaming state (non-probability changing state / non-time-short (non-power support) state). Further, in the normal gaming state, the effect of the effect mode 1 is performed as the effect mode (step S900). The transition from the normal gaming state to the other gaming state is mainly triggered by the result of the hit determination by the start winning of the first starting opening 5442. In exceptional cases, for example, when there is a suspension of variable display of the second special symbol when the power support state of 100 times is over, the hit determination of the second special symbol in the normal gaming state is the maximum number of suspension times. The upper limit is performed four times, and if it is determined that some big hit, it will shift to the power support state, but since it is a rare case, it is omitted from this drawing. It should be noted that the above four times is a state where it is possible to return to the power support state if a big hit at that time despite the end of the power support state, so it is a normal gaming state, and the second special symbol While the hit determination is being performed, the player may have an expectation as a special effect mode different from the effect mode 1.

  In the normal gaming state, the jackpot determination is performed by the start winning of the first start opening 5442 by so-called left strike. Further, when the result of the big hit determination by the start winning at the first start port 5442 becomes a big hit and the gaming state shifts to the time saving (power support) state, so-called right hitting is performed. Thus, while the time saving (power support) state continues, the big hit determination is performed by the start winning of the second start port 440. In addition, although the result of the big hit judgment by the start winning of the first starting opening 5442 became big hit, when game state does not shift to time short (power supo) state (playing state non time short (non power supo) state If left unchanged, the left strike is continued.

  When the gaming state shown in step S900 is the non-probability state / non-time-saving (non-power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 1 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is the special figure (1) big hit When it becomes -1, the gaming state shifts from the normal gaming state to the probability changing state / time saving (power support) state. Further, with the transition of the game state, the effect of the effect mode 1 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 2 is started (steps S901 and S902). In the gaming state in which the effect in the effect mode 2 is performed, the number of STs is set to 100 and the number of time saving is set to 50.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S902 is a definite change state / time short (power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 2 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special figure (2) big hit- When one of 1 to 3 is reached, the gaming state shifts to a definite change state and a short time (power support) state (steps S910 and S911). That is, the gaming state after transition is the same as the gaming state before transition. Further, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect of the effect mode 2 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 3 is started. In the gaming state in which the effect in the effect mode 3 is performed, the ST number is set to 100, and the time reduction number is set to continue during the definite variation state (maximum 100 times).

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S911 is a definite change state / time reduction (power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 3 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is the special figure (2) big hit- When one of 1 to 3 is reached, the gaming state shifts again to the positive change state and the short time (power support) state (steps S912 and S911). Further, with the transition of the game state, the effect of the effect mode 3 is continued. Further, along with the transition of the gaming state, the number of times of ST counted until reaching the big hit and the number of times of time saving are cleared. That is, the number of times of ST and the number of times of time reduction are counted from zero.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S911 is a definite change state / time reduction (power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 3 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is the special figure (2) big hit- When any one of 4 to 6 is reached, the gaming state shifts to a non-probable change state / time saving (power support) state to be described later (steps S913 and S921). In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect of the effect mode 3 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 4 is started.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S911 is a definite change state / short time (power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 3 is performed, the result of the small hit determination (hit determination) is hit (opened twice ( When 1) and (2) are reached, the gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations pertaining to the hit. Specifically, when the number of times of the hit determination related to the hit is a predetermined number (100 times), the ST (probable change state) and the time saving state end, so the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (Steps S914, S915; Yes, S900). That is, the effect of the effect mode 3 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 1 is started. On the other hand, when the number of hit determinations pertaining to the hit is not the predetermined number (100), the current gaming state (certain change state, time saving (power support) state) is maintained, and the ST number and time reduction are cleared. And the counting is resumed (steps S914, S915; No). That is, the effect of the effect mode 3 is continued.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S911 is a definite change state / short time (power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 3 is performed, if the result of the big hit determination and the small hit determination (hit determination) is lost The gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations relating to the loss. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations for the loss is a predetermined number (100 times), the ST (probable change state) and the time saving state end, so the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (Steps S916, S915; Yes, S900). That is, the effect of the effect mode 3 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 1 is started. On the other hand, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is not the predetermined number (100), the current gaming state (probability change state, time saving (power support) state) is maintained, and the ST times and time saving times are cleared. And the count is resumed (steps S916, S915; No). That is, the effect of the effect mode 3 is continued.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S902 is a definite change state / time short (power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 2 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special figure (2) big hit- When one of 4 to 6 is reached, the gaming state shifts to the non-probable state and the short time (power support) state (steps S920 and S921). Further, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect of the effect mode 2 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 4 is started. In the gaming state in which the effect of the effect mode 4 is performed, the number of time saving is set to 100 times.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S921 is a non-probable state, short time (power support) state, and the effect mode 4 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is the special figure (2) big hit -1 When one of 3 is entered, the gaming state shifts to the definite change state / time-short (power support) state (steps S922 and S911). Further, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect of the effect mode 4 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 3 is started. Along with the transition of the gaming state, the number of time counts counted before reaching the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S921 is a non-probable state / short-time (power support) state and effect mode 4 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is special figure (2) big hit -4 When the game state becomes any one of 6 to 6, the gaming state shifts again to the non-probable state and the short time (power support) state (steps S923 and S921). Further, with the transition of the game state, the effect of the effect mode 4 is continued. In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the number of time reduction counted before reaching the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S921 is a non-probable state and short time (power support) state, and the effect mode 4 is performed, the result of the small hit determination (hit determination) is hit (opened twice (1 When it comes to) and (2)), the gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations pertaining to the hit. Specifically, when the number of times of the hit determination related to the hit is a predetermined number (100 times), the time saving state ends, so the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (steps S924, S925; Yes, S900). That is, the effect of the effect mode 4 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 1 is started. On the other hand, if the number of hit determinations pertaining to the hit is not the predetermined number (100), the current gaming state (non-probable change state, time saving (power support) state) is maintained, and the time saving number is not cleared. , Counting is resumed (steps S924, S925; No). That is, the effect of the effect mode 4 is continued.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S921 is a non-probable state / short time (power support) state, and the effect in the effect mode 4 is performed, the result of the big hit determination and the small hit determination (hit determination) is lost. Then, the game state is changed in accordance with the number of hit determinations relating to the loss. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations for the loss is a predetermined number (100 times), the time saving state ends, so the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (steps S926, S925; Yes, S900). That is, the effect of the effect mode 4 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 1 is started. On the other hand, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is not the predetermined number (100), the current gaming state (non-probable change state, short time (power support) state) is maintained, and the time reduction number is not cleared. , Counting is resumed (steps S926, S925; No). That is, the effect of the effect mode 4 is continued.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S902 is a definite change state / short time (power support) state and the effect in the effect mode 2 is performed, the result of the small hit determination (hit determination) is hit (opened twice ( When 1) and (2) are reached, the gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations pertaining to the hit. Specifically, when the number of collision determinations pertaining to the hit is a predetermined number of times (50 times), the ST (probability change state) continues while the time reduction state ends, so that the change state is non-probability state The gaming state shifts to the non-power support state (steps S930, S931; Yes, S933). That is, the effect of the effect mode 2 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 5 is started. On the other hand, if the number of hit determinations pertaining to the hit is not the predetermined number (50 times), the current gaming state (probability change state, time saving (power support) state) is maintained, and the ST times and time saving times are cleared. And the counting is resumed (steps S930 and S931; No). That is, the effect of the effect mode 2 is continued.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S902 is a definite change state / short time (power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 2 is performed, if the result of the big hit determination and the small hit determination (hit determination) is lost The gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations relating to the loss. Specifically, when the number of collision determinations for the loss is a predetermined number of times (50 times), the ST (probability change state) continues while the time reduction state ends, so the change state is non-prone The gaming state shifts to the non-power support state (steps S932, S931; Yes, S933). That is, the effect of the effect mode 2 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 5 is started. On the other hand, if the number of hit determinations related to the loss is not the predetermined number (50), the current gaming state (probability change state, time saving (power support)) is maintained, and the ST number and time saving are cleared. Then, the count is resumed (steps S932, S931; No). That is, the effect of the effect mode 2 is continued.

  As described above, when the effect in the effect mode 2 is ended and the effect in the effect mode 5 is started, the ST (probability change state) continues while the short time (power support) state is ended. That is, the player does not strike right but strikes left. In the present embodiment, the effect of the effect mode 5 is set to the same content as the effect of the effect mode 1. In this way, when the effect in the effect mode 5 is started, the player is in a gaming state (a latent probability change state) in which it is difficult to recognize that the ST (certain change state) is continuing. The effect of the effect mode 5 may be the same as the effect of the effect mode 1, and may be performed by notifying the player that the latent probability change state has been determined.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S933 is a definite change state / non-short time (non-power support) state and the effect in the effect mode 5 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special view (1) When the jackpot -1 or 2 is reached, the gaming state shifts to the definite change state / time-short (power support) state (steps S934 and S911). Further, with the transition of the game state, the effect of the effect mode 5 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 3 is started. Along with the transition of the gaming state, the number of times of ST counted up to the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S933 is a definite change state / non-short time (non-power support) state and the effect in the effect mode 5 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special view (1) When the jackpot reaches -3, the gaming state shifts again to the definite change state and the non-time-saving (non-electric support) state (steps S935, S933). Further, with the transition of the game state, the effect of the effect mode 5 is continued. In addition, with the transition of the gaming state, the number of times of ST counted up to the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S933 is a definite change state / non-short time (non-power support) state and the effect in the effect mode 5 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special view (1) When the jackpot is either -4 or 5, the gaming state shifts to the non-probable state / non-time-saving (non-power support) state (i.e., the normal gaming state) (steps S936 and S900). Further, with the transition of the game state, the effect of the effect mode 5 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 1 is started. Along with the transition of the gaming state, the number of times of ST counted up to the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S933 is a definite change state / non-short time (non-power support) state and the effect in the effect mode 5 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special view (1) When the jackpot reaches -6, the gaming state shifts to the non-probable state and the short time (power support) state (steps S937 and S951). Further, with the transition of the game state, the effect of the effect mode 5 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 6 is started. Along with the transition of the gaming state, the number of times of ST counted up to the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S933 is a definite change state / non-short time (non-power support) state and the effect in the effect mode 5 is performed, if the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is lost, The game state is changed in accordance with the number of hit determinations relating to a loss. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations relating to the loss is a predetermined number, the ST (probable change state) ends, so the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (steps S938, S939; Yes) , S900). That is, the effect of the effect mode 5 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 1 is started. On the other hand, if the number of hit determinations related to the loss is not the predetermined number, the current gaming state (probable change state, non time saving (non-power support) state) is maintained, the ST number is not cleared, and the count is It is restarted (steps S938, S939; No). That is, the effect of the effect mode 5 is continued.

  Note that the predetermined number of times in step S939 is set according to what presentation of the currently performed presentation mode 5 has been started. Specifically, a case where the effect of the effect mode 5 currently being performed is started when the number of hit determinations becomes 50 times after the effect of the effect mode 2 is started (step S931; Yes) ), The predetermined number of times in step S939 is 50 times (from the start of the effect of effect mode 5). On the other hand, the effect of the effect mode 5 currently being performed is that the special figure (1) jackpot -2 or 3 shown in step S960 has become or the special figure (1) jackpot -3 shown in step S935 has become The predetermined number of times in step S939 is 100 times (from the start of the effect of effect mode 5).

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S900 is the non-probability changing state / non-time-saving (non-power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 1 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special view (1 When the jackpot reaches -6, the gaming state transitions from the normal gaming state to the non-probable changing state and the time saving (power support) state. Further, with the transition of the game state, the effect of the effect mode 1 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 6 is started (steps S950 and S951). In the gaming state in which the effect of the effect mode 6 is performed, the number of time saving is set to 50 times.

  Also, when the gaming state shown in step S 951 is a non-probable state, short time (power support) state, and the effect of the effect mode 6 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special figure (2) big hit When one of -1 and 3 is reached, the gaming state shifts to the definite change state and the time saving (power support) state (steps S952 and S911). Further, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect of the effect mode 6 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 3 is started. Along with the transition of the gaming state, the number of time counts counted before reaching the big hit is cleared.

  Also, when the gaming state shown in step S 951 is a non-probable state, short time (power support) state, and the effect of the effect mode 6 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special figure (2) big hit When one of -4 to 6 is reached, the gaming state shifts to the non-probable state and the time saving (power support) state (steps S953 and S921). Further, with the transition of the game state, the effect of the effect mode 6 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 4 is started. Along with the transition of the gaming state, the number of time counts counted before reaching the big hit is cleared.

  In addition, when the game state shown in step S 951 is the non-probable state / short-time (power support) state and the effect in the effect mode 6 is performed, the result of the small hit determination (hit determination) hits (opened twice) When (1) and (2) are reached, the gaming state is changed according to the number of hit determinations pertaining to the hit. Specifically, when the number of times of the hit determination related to the hit is the predetermined number (50 times), since the time saving state ends, the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (steps S954 and S955; Yes, S900). That is, the effect of the effect mode 6 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 1 is started. On the other hand, if the number of hit determinations pertaining to the hit is not the predetermined number (50 times), the current gaming state (non-probability change state, time saving (power support) state) is maintained, and the time reduction number is not cleared , Counting is resumed (steps S954, S955; No). That is, the effect of the effect mode 6 is continued.

  Also, when the gaming state shown in step S 951 is a non-probable state, short time (power support) state, and the effect of the effect mode 6 is performed, the result of the big hit determination and the small hit determination (hit determination) is lost. Then, the game state is changed in accordance with the number of hit determinations relating to the loss. Specifically, when the number of hit determinations relating to the loss is a predetermined number (50 times), the time saving state ends, so the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state (steps S956, S955; Yes, S900). That is, the effect of the effect mode 6 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 1 is started. On the other hand, when the number of hit determinations related to the loss is not the predetermined number (50), the current gaming state (non-probable change state, time saving (power support)) is maintained, and the time saving number is not cleared. The counting is resumed (steps S956, S955; No).

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S900 is the non-probability changing state / non-time-saving (non-power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 1 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special view (1 ) When the jackpot becomes -2 or 3, the gaming state shifts to the definite change state and the non-time-saving (non-electric support) state (steps S 960 and S 933). That is, the effect of the effect mode 1 is ended, and the effect of the effect mode 5 is started.

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S900 is the non-probability changing state / non-time-saving (non-power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 1 is performed, the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is a special view (1 When the jackpot is -4 or 5, the gaming state shifts to the normal gaming state again. Further, with the transition of the gaming state, the effect of the effect mode 1 is continued (steps S 970 and S 900).

  In addition, when the gaming state shown in step S900 is the non-probability changing state / non-time-saving (non-power support) state and the effect of the effect mode 1 is performed, if the result of the big hit determination (hit determination) is lost, The normal gaming state is maintained. That is, the effect of the effect mode 1 is continued (steps S980 and S900).

  In the flow of such a game, when the effect mode 2 is started (step S902), the number of times of ST is set to 100 by transition of the gaming state to the definite change state / time-short (power support) state. Ru. Similarly, when the effect mode 3 is started (step S 911), the number of times of ST is set to 100 by transition of the gaming state to the probability change state / short time (power support) state. Thus, after effect mode 2 or 3 is started (that is, after ST is started), for example, if the result of the hit determination is a small hit, (in principle) the current gaming state is maintained after the small hit game is over , ST number is not cleared, and counting is resumed. Thus, the rendering in rendering mode 2 or 3 is continued.

  Here, as described above, when the small hit game is started, the big winning opening 540 is opened twice to such an extent that one game ball is won per opening. That is, when the effect mode 2 or 3 is started (when the ST is started), for example, until the number of hit determinations reaches a predetermined number and the effect mode is ended (until the ST is ended) ), The small hit game can be played repeatedly. In this way, when the small hit game is repeatedly performed, it is possible to obtain a winning ball by the small hit game, and to increase the number of gaming balls in the hand of the player.

  In the following, an ST capable of achieving a prize ball by a small hit game and increasing the number of gaming balls at hand of a player is referred to as a hyper-probability state. In addition, after achieving the super-accurate change state, a game aiming to acquire a prize ball by a small hit game and aiming to increase a game ball at hand of a player is referred to as RUSH. That is, the rush (per one time) shall continue from the big hit that triggered the transition to the hyper-determination state until the next big hit or the end of the time saving state. As described above, in the present embodiment, a game in which the time saving state is to be ended (for example, 100 or 50 games of hit determination to be described later) is an end condition of the rush.

  In addition, after the production mode 2 is started, when the production mode 3 is started by a special hit of special figure (2) big hit -1 to 3, the gaming state before and after the big hit is also in a super definite change state Because of this, it is assumed that the hyper-determination state continues. In such a case, it is assumed that the rush is performed continuously (the second rush is performed).

  In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the super-decision state is reached, the display of withdrawal balls related to the acquired withdrawal balls is performed. In addition, the detailed description about the said balls display is mentioned later.

In this process, when the main CPU 101 determines that there is no start memory for the special symbol game, that is, from the first special symbol start storage area (0) to the first special symbol start storage area (4) or the second special symbol start memory If no data (hit determination random number value) is stored from the area (0) to the second special symbol start storage area (4), the process proceeds to step S112. On the other hand, when the main CPU 101 determines that start storage (more specifically, start storage corresponding to at least one of the first and second special symbols) is present, the process proceeds to step S113.

  In step S112, the main CPU 101 performs a demonstration display process. In this process, the main CPU 101 performs a process of setting a demonstration display permission value in the main RAM 103. The main CPU 101 sets a value for permitting execution of the demonstration display as the demonstration display permission value when the state where the start memory of the special symbol game becomes 0 is maintained for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). Then, the main CPU 101 sets a demo display command when the demo display permission value is a predetermined value. The demonstration display command is supplied from the main CPU 101 of the main control circuit 100 to the sub CPU 201 of the sub control circuit 200. Thereby, the demonstration display is performed on the liquid crystal display device 16 by the control of the sub control circuit 200. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 ends the present subroutine.

  In step S113, the main CPU 101 performs processing to determine whether or not start storage corresponding to the second special symbol is zero. In this process, the main CPU 101 determines the presence / absence of data of the second special symbol start storage area (0) to the second special symbol start storage area (4), and the start storage corresponding to the second special symbol is 0 That is, when it is determined that data is not stored in the second special symbol start storage area (0) to the second special symbol start storage area (4), the processing is shifted to step S115. On the other hand, in main CPU 101, the start memory corresponding to the second special symbol is not 0, that is, data is stored from second special symbol start storage area (0) to second special symbol start storage area (4) If it is determined that, the process proceeds to step S114.

  In step S116, the main CPU 101 performs processing to set a value (01H) indicating special symbol fluctuation time management as a control state flag. When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S117.

  In step S117, the main CPU 101 performs special symbol storage transfer processing. In this process, when the special symbol to be variably displayed is the first special symbol, the main CPU 101 carries out each of the data of the first special symbol start storage area (1) to the first special symbol start storage area (4), A process of shifting (storing) from the first special symbol start storage area (0) to the first special symbol start storage area (3) is performed. Further, when the special symbol to be variably displayed is the second special symbol, the main CPU 101 performs second data of each of the second special symbol start storage area (1) to the second special symbol start storage area (4) A process is performed to shift (store) the special symbol start storage area (0) to the second special symbol start storage area (3). When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S118.

  In step S118, the main CPU 101 performs a jackpot determination process. In this process, the main CPU 101 reads the high probability flag, and selects one hit determination table from a plurality of hit determination tables that differ in the number of determination values (big hit determination values) that result in a big hit based on the read high probability flag. Do. That is, when the high probability flag is a predetermined value, the high probability hit (big hit) determination table with a large number of big hit judgment values is referred to, and when the high probability flag is not a predetermined value, the big hit judgment The normal-use (big hit) determination table with a small value is referred to. As described above, when the high probability flag is a predetermined value, that is, when the gaming state is in the high probability state (probability change state), the probability of shifting to the big hit gaming state is improved as compared to that at the normal time.

  Then, main CPU 101 is extracted at the start winning prize, and is a random number value for hit determination of the special symbol start storage area set in the first special symbol start storage area (0) and the second special symbol start storage area (0). And the selected hit determination table. Then, when the hit determination random number value and the big hit determination value match, the main CPU 101 determines that it is a big hit. On the other hand, when the hit determination random number value and the big hit determination value do not match, the main CPU 101 determines that it is not a big hit (loss). In this manner, the main CPU 101 determines whether or not to make the jackpot gaming state advantageous to the player in the jackpot determination process (jump determination). When this process ends, the main CPU 101 shifts the process to step S119.

  In step S119, the main CPU 101 performs small hit determination processing. The small hit determination process is performed when it is not a big hit in the big hit determination process in step S118. In this process, main CPU 101 sets a random value for collision determination of the special symbol start storage area previously set in the first special symbol start storage area (0) and the second special symbol start storage area (0) It is determined whether or not the judgment value of the small hit which has been made matches. Then, when the hit determination random number value and the small hit determination value match, the main CPU 101 determines that it is a small hit.

In this process, when the main CPU 101 determines that the control state flag is the value (04H) indicating the big winning opening opening process, the process proceeds to step S601. On the other hand, when the main CPU 101 determines that the control state flag is not the value (04H) indicating the special winning opening opening process, the main subroutine ends the present subroutine.

  In step S601, the main CPU 101 performs processing to determine whether or not the special winning opening winning counter is "10" or more. In this process, when the main CPU 101 determines that the special winning opening winning counter is “10” or more, the process proceeds to step S604. On the other hand, when the main CPU 101 determines that the special winning opening winning counter is not “10” or more, the processing is shifted to step S602.

It is determined whether it is above the upper limit value. If the main CPU 101 determines that the special winning opening open frequency count value is equal to or higher than the winning opening open frequency upper limit value, the process proceeds to step S610.

In step S612, the main CPU 101 performs processing to set an interval end display command per special symbol in a predetermined area of the main RAM 103. Specifically, the big hit end display command is set when the result of the hit determination is a big hit, and the small hit end display command is set when the result of the hit determination is a small hit. The big hit end display command and the small hit end display command are supplied from the main CPU 101 of the main control circuit 100 to the sub CPU 201 of the sub control circuit 200.

If the main CPU 101 determines that the open time timer for the communication hole 7031 is the closing timing (“YES” in step S7013), the processing proceeds to step S7014. On the other hand, when main CPU 101 determines that the open time timer of communication hole 7031 is not the closing timing (that is, the open time timer of communication hole 7031 is the open timing) ("NO" in step S7013), this subroutine ends Do.

  In step S7014, the main CPU 101 performs solenoid excitation stop processing. In this process, the main CPU 101 stops the output of the control signal for turning on the solenoid 7250. As a result, the solenoid 7250 is de-energized (de-energized). When this process ends, the main CPU 101 ends the present subroutine. In the present embodiment, the periodic excitation / non-excitation processing of the solenoid 7250 is performed by the main processing of FIG. 28, but may be performed by the system timer interrupt processing of FIG. 10. In that case, the count timer is updated for each timer interrupt, and when the value of the count timer satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, exceeding the predetermined value), the distribution device control process of FIG. It is sufficient to execute and initialize the count timer after the processing is executed.

[Center item and starting opening unit]
In the following, the configuration of the center workpiece 7000 and the starting opening unit 7070 will be described in detail using FIGS. 30 to 54.

  First, the configuration of the center character 7000 will be described in detail.

  As described later, the center character 7000 shown in FIGS. 30 to 33 can guide the gaming balls flowing down the gaming area 20 to the first starting opening of the starting opening unit 7070 via the warp passage 7020 or the like. it can. Although the details will be described later, the first starting port of the starting port unit 7070 corresponds to the first starting port 5442 in the first embodiment, and two in the second embodiment (specifically, The base plate side advantageous forward path 7072b and the starting port 7071a) are provided. The center character 7000 includes a ball entrance 7010, a warp passage 7020, a clune 7100, an upper passage 7030, a game ball distribution device 7200, a stage 7040, a back ball passage 7050, and a central ball 7060.

  First, an outline of the rolling path of the game ball, which is guided to the starting opening unit 7070 by the center character 7000, will be described.

  In the present embodiment, two types of rolling paths ("favorable course" and "favorable course") are provided on the rolling path of the gaming ball guided by the center character 7000. The advantageous course and the disadvantageous course are set such that the degree of advantage for the player is different from each other when the game ball passes. Specifically, when the game ball passes through the advantageous course, the degree of advantage for the player is set to be higher than when the game ball passes through the disadvantageous course. The distribution of the advantageous course and the disadvantageous course through which the game balls pass is performed by the game ball distribution device 7200.

  When the firing handle 32 is operated and left strike is performed, the launched gaming ball flows down the gaming area 20 on the left side of the center character 7000, and a part of the flowing gaming ball enters the entrance 7010. Make a ball. The game ball having entered the entrance 7010 passes the warp passage 7020, the clone 7100, and the upper passage 7030 in order.

  The game balls passing through the upper passage 7030 are distributed to the advantageous course or the disadvantageous course by the game ball distribution device 7200 in the middle of the upper passage 7030. The game balls distributed to the disadvantaged course pass through the upper passage 7030 as they are, and are then guided from the stage 7040 toward the starting opening unit 7070. On the other hand, in the middle part of the upper passage 7030, the game balls distributed to the advantageous course by the game ball distribution device 7200 are guided in the direction of the starting opening unit 7070 after passing through the back ball passage 7050 and the center ball 7060 in order. Ru. In addition, the specific description about the rolling path | route (flow of a ball game ball) of a game ball is mentioned later.

  Next, the configuration of the entrance 7010, the warp passage 7020, the crane 7100, the upper passage 7030, the game ball distribution device 7200, the stage 7040, the back ball passage 7050, and the center ball 7060 provided in the center character 7000 are detailed. Explain to.

  The ball entrance 7010 shown in FIG. 30 to FIG. 33 is a portion configured to be capable of entering game balls. The ball entrance 7010 is provided near the left end in the upper and lower middle of the center character 7000. The ball entrance 7010 is provided in the game area 20 on the left side of the liquid crystal display device 16 (more specifically, in the substantially central portion in the left-right direction of the game area 20 on the left side). Thus, the entrance 7010 is configured such that when the launch handle 32 is operated and left hit, a part of the gaming balls flowing down the gaming area 20 on the left side enters the ball.

  A warp passage 7020 shown in FIG. 30 to FIG. 33 is a passage for guiding the gaming ball having entered the entrance 7010 in the lower right direction (clone 7100 described later). One end (upper left end) of the warp passage 7020 is in communication with the ball inlet 7010. The warp passage 7020 is formed to extend generally downward after extending rightward from the ball entrance 7010. The other end (lower end) of the warp passage 7020 is formed to open rearward. In the warp passage 7020, an upstream passage 7021 and a downstream passage 7022 are formed.

  The upstream-side passage 7021 shown in FIGS. 32 and 33 is a portion of the warp passage 7020 located on the upstream side (the side of the ball entrance 7010). The upstream passage 7021 is formed to extend in the left-right direction. The left end portion of the upstream side passage 7021 is in communication with the ball entry port 7010. The front side surface of the upstream side passage 7021 is fitted in a part where the gaming board 17 is notched, flush with the gaming area 20 and exposed forward. Thus, the front side surface of the upstream passage 7021 constitutes a part of the game area 20. Further, in the game area 20, the game ball can flow not only to the left of the ball entrance 7010 but also to the right. In addition, a portion other than the front side surface of the upstream side passage 7021 (a portion on the rear side of the front side surface) is formed behind the front side surface of the gaming board 17, that is, behind the gaming area 20. Further, the upstream passage 7021 is formed of a non-permeable member. Thus, when the gaming ball having entered the ball entry 7010 passes the upstream passage 7021 of the warp passage 7020, it becomes difficult for the player to visually recognize. Here, the term “not visible” means that the visibility is lower than in other states, and may or may not include an invisible one.

  The downstream side passage 7022 shown in FIGS. 31 and 33 is a portion of the warp passage 7020 located on the downstream side (the side of the crane 7100). The downstream side passage 7022 is formed to extend in the vertical direction. An upper end portion of the downstream side passage 7022 is in communication with a lower end portion of the upstream side passage 7021. The downstream passage 7022 extends forward from a portion in communication with the upstream passage 7021, and then extends downward and then bends rearward. Thus, the downstream side passage 7022 is formed in a U shape whose rear is open in a side view. The front side surface of the downstream side passage 7022 is formed in front of the decoration provided on the front side surface of the center character 7000. Further, the downstream side passage 7022 is formed of a member having permeability. Thus, when the gaming ball is guided from the upstream passage 7021 to the downstream passage 7022, the gaming ball passing through the downstream passage 7022 becomes visible to the player.

  With such a configuration of the warp passage 7020, the gaming ball having entered the entrance 7010 becomes temporarily difficult to see from the player when passing through the upstream passage 7021, and then passes through the downstream passage 7022. It becomes visible from the player. Thus, from the viewpoint of the player, the game ball which has disappeared in the entrance 7010 suddenly appears and is guided to the Kroon 7100, giving the impression that the game ball entered in the entrance 7010 has warped. it can.

  A crane 7100 shown in FIG. 30 to FIG. 37 is a passage for guiding the gaming ball having flowed in from the warp passage 7020 to the right (upper passage 7030 described later). The Kroon 7100 can give randomness to the passage (rolling) time of the gaming ball passing through the Kroon 7100. The crane 7100 is provided rearwardly adjacent to the lower end of the warp passage 7020. Thus, the lone 7100 is configured to be able to receive gaming balls that have passed through the warp passage 7020. The crown 7100 includes a guiding portion 7110, a rolling portion 7120 and a step portion 7130.

  A guiding portion 7110 shown in FIGS. 34 to 37 is a portion for guiding the gaming ball flowing in from the warp passage 7020 to the right (to the rolling portion 7120 described later). The guiding portion 7110 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape whose longitudinal direction is in the left-right direction in a plan view, and is formed such that a corner on the left rear side has a rounded shape (see FIG. 36). The guiding portion 7110 is provided such that the left end portion thereof is located near the lower end portion of the warp passage 7020. The guiding portion 7110 includes an inlet 7111, a bottom 7112, and a side wall 7113.

  An inlet 7111 shown in FIG. 34 to FIG. 36 is a hole (inlet) for guiding the gaming ball to the guiding portion 7110. The inlet 7111 is provided at a position facing the opening at the lower end of the warp passage 7020 (the left end of the guiding portion 7110) so that the front side of the guiding portion 7110 opens. The inlet 7111 is in communication with the lower end of the downstream side passage 7022 of the warp passage 7020. The inlet 7111 is formed in a size through which the game ball can pass.

  The bottom portion 7112 shown in FIGS. 34, 36 and 37 is a portion that constitutes the bottom of the guiding portion 7110. The bottom portion 7112 is configured such that gaming balls can pass through the upper side thereof. Further, the upper side surface of the bottom surface portion 7112 is formed to be inclined downward to the right. That is, the upper side surface of the bottom portion 7112 is formed in a shape that can guide the gaming ball to the right.

  The side wall portion 7113 guides the game ball having flowed in from the warp passage 7020. The side wall 7113 is formed to rise from the end of the bottom 7112. The side wall 7113 includes a front side wall 7113 a and a rear side wall 7113 b.

  The front side wall 7113 a shown in FIGS. 34 to 36 is formed to rise from the front end of the bottom 7112. The front side wall 7113 a is formed to be adjacent to the right side of the inlet 7111. In other words, the inlet 7111 is formed such that the left end of the front side wall 7113a is open. The front side wall 7113a is formed such that the height from the bottom 7112 is constant.

  The rear side wall 7113 b shown in FIGS. 34, 36 and 37 is formed to rise from the rear end of the bottom surface 7112. More specifically, the rear side wall 7113 b is formed to rise from an end extending from the left front end to the right rear end of the bottom 7112. The rear side wall 7113 b is provided at the front end portion so as to separate the inlet 7111 from the front side wall 7113 a. The rear side wall 7113 b is formed such that the height from the bottom 7112 is constant.

  The rolling portion 7120 is a portion in which the gaming balls having flowed in from the guiding portion 7110 are rollable. The rolling portion 7120 is formed in a substantially circular shape in plan view (see FIG. 36). The rolling portion 7120 is provided adjacent to the right side of the guiding portion 7110. The rolling portion 7120 includes a bottom portion 7121, a guide wall 7122 and a discharge portion 7123.

  The bottom surface portion 7121 shown in FIGS. 34, 36 and 37 is a portion constituting the bottom portion of the rolling portion 7120. The bottom surface 7121 is configured such that gaming balls can roll on the upper side surface thereof. Further, the upper side surface of the bottom portion 7121 is formed to be inclined downward toward the central portion thereof. That is, the upper side surface of the bottom portion 7121 is formed in a shape capable of guiding the gaming ball to the central portion. The bottom surface 7121 is formed to be lower than the bottom surface 7112 of the guiding portion 7110.

  The guide wall 7122 guides the gaming ball so as to roll the bottom surface 7121. The guide wall 7122 is formed to rise from the outer peripheral end of the bottom surface 7121. The guide wall 7122 is formed in a substantially annular shape (substantially a partial annular shape) in a plan view. Specifically, in plan view, the guide wall 7122 starts from the connecting portion of the guiding portion 7110 with the rear side wall 7113 b (right end of the rear side wall 7113 b) and connects with the front side wall 7113 a (front side wall) It forms in the annular | circular shape which makes an end point the right end part of 7113a. Thus, when the gaming ball having flowed into the rolling portion 7120 rolls while contacting the guiding wall 7122, the gaming ball is guided by the guiding wall 7122 so as to assume a circular track in plan view.

  In the guide wall 7122, a bulge portion 7122a for buffering a collision between the gaming ball and the guide wall 7122 is formed in the vicinity of the starting point (a connecting portion with the rear side wall 7113b). As shown in FIGS. 34 and 36, the bulge portion 7122a is formed to bulge rearward from the rear side wall portion 7113b in a plan view. That is, while the inner wall surface of the guide wall 7122 is basically formed in the same shape as the outer peripheral surface of the bottom surface 7121 in plan view, the bulged portion 7122 a is more than the outer peripheral surface of the bottom surface 7121 in plan view It is formed to be located radially outward.

  The discharging unit 7123 is a portion configured to be able to discharge the gaming ball rolling on the rolling unit 7120 to the outside. The discharge unit 7123 is formed at the center of the bottom surface 7121. The discharge portion 7123 is formed to project downward from the bottom surface portion 7121. The discharge part 7123 is formed in the shape of an inverted cone whose diameter decreases in the downward direction (see FIGS. 35 and 37). A discharge hole 7123 a is formed in the discharge part 7123.

  The discharge hole 7123 a is formed at the center of the discharge part 7123. The discharge hole 7123a is formed as an inverted conical hole whose diameter decreases downward (see FIGS. 35 and 37). The discharge hole 7123a is formed to have a size capable of discharging the game ball.

  The step 7130 shown in FIGS. 34, 36 and 37 is a portion provided at the connecting portion between the bottom 7112 of the guiding portion 7110 and the bottom 7121 of the rolling portion 7120. The bottom 7112 of the guiding 7110 is shown. This is a wall portion formed by the bottom surface portion 7121 of the rolling portion 7120 being lower. The height of the stepped portion 7130 is formed to be equal to or less than the radius of the gaming ball (see FIG. 50). The stepped portion 7130 is formed from the end point of the guide wall 7122 (the connection portion with the front side wall 7113a) to the start point of the guide wall 7122 (the connection portion with the rear side wall 7113b). The stepped portion 7130 is formed in a partially annular shape concentric with the same diameter as the guide wall 7122 (portion excluding the swelling portion 7122 a) in plan view. As a result, the gaming balls rolling beyond the end point of the guide wall 7122 will assume substantially the same trajectory as the circular trajectory which has been rolled so far.

  The upper channel 7030 shown in FIGS. 30 to 33 and in FIG. 42 is a channel for guiding the gaming ball discharged from the discharge hole 7123a of the clune 7100 to the right (back ball channel 7050). The upper stage passage 7030 is formed to extend generally from the lower side of the crane 7100 to the right. The left end portion of the upper stage passage 7030 communicates with the discharge hole 7123 a of the crown 7100 in the top-bottom direction. The upper stage passage 7030 is formed to incline downward to the right. On the front and rear side wall portions of the upper-stage passage 7030, a plurality (two or three in the present embodiment) of projecting portions 7030a are formed so as to project to the center side of the passage. The front and rear protrusions 7030 a are formed at positions (positions that do not face each other) that are mutually offset in the front-rear direction. Thus, the gaming ball passing through the upper level passage 7030 moves downstream while colliding with the front and rear projecting portions 7030 a. As described above, the game ball passing through the upper-stage passage 7030 collides with the front and rear projecting portions 7030 a, so that the movement (rolling) speed is reduced and the movement (rolling) time has randomness. It will be. Further, a communication hole 7031 is formed in the upper stage passage 7030.

  The communication hole 7031 shown in FIGS. 33 and 42 is a portion serving as an entrance for guiding the game ball to the “advantage course” described later. The communication hole 7031 is formed to penetrate the upper stage passage 7030 up and down. The communication hole 7031 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view. The communication hole 7031 is formed in a size through which the game ball can pass. The communication hole 7031 is formed substantially at the center of the upper stage passage 7030. More specifically, the communication hole 7031 is formed more downstream than the front and rear protrusions 7030 a.

  Although details will be described later, the communication hole 7031 is opened and closed at a predetermined timing by the movable piece 7220 of the gaming ball distribution device 7200. When the communication hole 7031 is closed by the movable piece 7220, the upper side surface of the movable piece 7220 constitutes a part of the upper stage passage 7030. Thus, when the communication hole 7031 is closed by the movable piece 7220, the gaming ball passing through the upper channel 7030 reaches the right end (downstream end) from the left end through the movable piece 7220. On the other hand, when the communication hole 7031 is opened by the movable piece 7220, the gaming ball passing through the upper passage 7030 will drop from the communication hole 7031, and will not reach the right end of the upper passage 7030.

  In this way, the gaming balls that did not fall from the communication hole 7031 (that is, the gaming balls that have reached the right end of the upper passage 7030) are distributed to the disadvantageous course. On the other hand, the game balls dropped from the communication hole 7031 (that is, the game balls which did not reach the right end of the upper passage 7030) are distributed to the advantageous course.

  The gaming ball distribution apparatus 7200 shown in FIGS. 32, 33 and 38 to 42 is for distributing gaming balls flowing down the gaming area 20 to a plurality of passages. Specifically, the gaming ball sorting apparatus 7200 has an advantageous course or a disadvantage course (a game ball passing through the upper passage 7030 (when entering the ball from the ball entry port 7010 among the gaming balls flowing down the gaming area 20) Can be distributed to As described above, the game balls distributed to the advantageous course pass the advantageous course, and thereby the first starting opening of the starting opening unit 7070 (more specifically, the base plate side advantageous outward path 7072b and the starting opening 7071a The base plate side advantageous forward path 7072b) can be reliably won. On the other hand, the game ball distributed to the disadvantageous course passes through the disadvantageous course, whereby the first starting opening of the starting opening unit 7070 (more specifically, of the base plate side advantageous outward path 7072b and the starting opening 7071a, starting) It may be possible to win in the mouth 7071a) (ie it is uncertain whether or not). Further, in the present embodiment, in the two first starting ports, one who wins the base plate side advantageous outward path 7072b (when passing through the advantageous course) is a starting port 7071a (when passing through the disadvantageous course). It is set to get more prize balls than winning. As described above, when the game balls are distributed to the advantageous course, the degree of advantage for the player is set higher than when the game balls are distributed to the disadvantageous course. The game ball sorting device 7200 is provided below the upper level passage 7030. The game ball distribution device 7200 includes a base portion 7210, a movable piece 7220, a flapper 7230, a metal piece 7240, a solenoid 7250, and a cover portion 7260.

  For the convenience of description, the base portion 7210 and the cover portion 7260 are shown in FIG. 41 and the base portion 7210 is omitted in FIG.

  The base portion 7210 shown in FIG. 38 to FIG. 40 is a portion constituting the left portion of the outer shell of the game ball sorting device 7200. The base portion 7210 is formed in a substantially box shape in which the right side surface is opened. The base portion 7210 is fixed to the lower rear of the center product 7000.

  The movable piece 7220 shown in FIG. 38 to FIG. 42 opens and closes the communication hole 7031. Here, the state in which the communication hole 7031 is opened means that the gaming ball can pass through the communication hole 7031 (the gaming ball passing through the upper channel 7030 is dropped from the communication hole 7031). It means the state. Further, the state in which the communication hole 7031 is closed means that the gaming ball can not pass through the communication hole 7031 (the gaming ball passing through the upper passage 7030 is not dropped from the communication hole 7031). This is not to be construed as being limited to the case where the communication hole 7031 is completely blocked. When the movable piece 7220 opens the communication hole 7031, the gaming ball is guided to the "advantage course". On the other hand, when the movable piece 7220 closes the communication hole 7031, the gaming ball is guided to the "unfavorable course". The details of the flow of gaming balls passing through the "favorable course" and the "favorable course" will be described later.

  The movable piece 7220 is provided on the right of the base portion 7210. The movable piece 7220 includes a movable piece upper portion 7221 and a movable piece lower portion 7222. In the following, the shape will be described based on a state in which the movable piece 7220 closes the communication hole 7031.

  The movable piece upper portion 7221 shown in FIG. 39 to FIG. 42 is a portion that constitutes the upper portion of the movable piece 7220, and is a portion that opens and closes the communication hole 7031. The movable piece upper portion 7221 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, and is provided such that the longitudinal direction is in the front-rear direction. The movable piece upper portion 7221 is provided immediately below the communication hole 7031 (to close the communication hole 7031).

  The movable piece lower portion 7222 shown in FIG. 39 to FIG. 42 is a portion constituting the lower portion of the movable piece 7220. The movable piece lower portion 7222 is integrally formed with the movable piece upper portion 7221. The movable piece lower portion 7222 is formed to extend generally downward from the rear end portion of the movable piece upper portion 7221. The movable piece lower portion 7222 is formed to be bent forward and downward (oblique direction) at the middle portion thereof. A through hole penetrating the movable piece lower portion 7222 in the left-right direction is formed in an intermediate portion of the movable piece lower portion 7222, and the first pin 7211 fixed to the base portion 7210 is inserted into the through hole. Thus, the movable piece 7220 is supported by the base portion 7210 so as to be pivotable about the axis of the first pin 7211. A long hole 7222 a is formed in the movable piece lower portion 7222.

  The long hole 7222 a is formed to pass through the lower portion of the movable piece lower portion 7222 in the left-right direction. The long hole 7222a is formed such that the longitudinal direction in the side view is directed to the extending direction of the movable piece lower portion 7222 (the diagonal direction from the lower front to the upper rear).

  A flapper 7230 shown in FIG. 39 to FIG. 42 is a member for transmitting a driving force to the movable piece 7220. The flapper 7230 is formed in a plate shape substantially rectangular in plan view. The flapper 7230 is provided such that the longitudinal direction is substantially in the front-rear direction. A through hole is formed at the rear end of the flapper 7230 to penetrate the flapper 7230 in the left-right direction, and a second pin 7212 fixed to the base portion 7210 is inserted into the through hole. The second pin 7212 is provided to be located slightly behind the first pin 7211 (rear of the solenoid 7250 described later). Thus, the flapper 7230 is supported by the base portion 7210 so as to be pivotable about the axis of the second pin 7212. The flapper 7230 is housed inside the base portion 7210. A protrusion 7231 is formed on the flapper 7230.

  The protrusion 7231 shown in FIG. 42 is formed in a cylindrical shape that protrudes to the right from the front end of the flapper 7230. The protrusion 7231 is inserted into the long hole 7222 a of the movable piece 7220. The diameter of the protrusion 7231 is formed to be slightly smaller than the width of the long hole 7222 a in the short direction.

  The flapper 7230 configured in this way tries to swing its front portion downward due to its own weight, but the swing width is limited by the protrusion 7231 contacting the lower end portion of the long hole 7222a. At this time, the movable piece 7220 (the movable piece upper portion 7221) closes the communication hole 7031.

  The metal piece 7240 shown in FIGS. 40 to 42 is a member formed of metal. The metal piece 7240 is formed by bending a plate material in a substantially L shape. The metal piece 7240 includes a flat portion 7241 and a flange portion 7242.

  The flat portion 7241 is a portion in which the plate surface is directed substantially in the vertical direction. The flat portion 7241 is provided on the top of the flapper 7230 so that the upper surface of the flat portion 7241 is exposed. The flat portion 7241 is provided between the protrusion 7231 of the flapper 7230 and the second pin 7212 which is the swing center of the flapper 7230.

  The flange portion 7242 is a portion formed to be bent downward from the left end portion of the flat portion 7241. The flange portion 7242 is formed such that the plate surface is oriented in the left-right direction. A through hole is formed in the flange portion 7242, and the bolt inserted into the through hole is fastened to the flapper 7230, whereby the metal piece 7240 is fixed to the flapper 7230.

  The solenoid 7250 is for operating the movable piece 7220 by driving the flapper 7230.

Ru. The first proximity switch 7073 is based on the detection result of the eddy current, the first proximity switch 7073 is that the game ball has entered the starting opening 7071a (first starting opening) (the “disadvantage course” has passed) ) To detect. The first proximity switch 7073 corresponds to the first start port switch 5472 in the first embodiment.

  The second proximity switch 7074 shown in FIG. 43 is a sensor for detecting that the gaming ball has entered the base plate side advantageous outward path 7072 b (first start port). The second proximity switch 7074 is disposed on the advantageous course. That is, the second proximity switch 7074 can detect that the gaming ball has passed the “advantage course”. The second proximity switch 7074 is formed in a flat plate shape whose plate surface is directed in the vertical direction. The second proximity switch 7074 is provided in the middle of the weir base side advantageous passage 7061 e. The second proximity switch 7074 has a through hole 7074 a.

  The through hole 7074 a is a substantially circular hole in a front view which penetrates the second proximity switch 7074 in the vertical direction. The through hole 7074a has an inner diameter that allows the game ball to pass therethrough.

  The second proximity switch 7074 configured in this way is configured to, for example, form a magnetic field in the through hole 7074a and detect an eddy current generated when the gaming ball passes the magnetic field (through hole 7074a). Ru. The second proximity switch 7074 is based on the detection result of the eddy current, the first proximity switch 7073 is that the game ball entered the base plate side advantageous outward path 7072b (first start port) ("advantage course") Detect that it has passed). The second proximity switch 7074 corresponds to the first start port switch 5472 in the first embodiment.

  Thus, in the starting opening unit 7070, two pairs of starting openings and switches corresponding to the first starting opening 5442 in the first embodiment (specifically, the starting opening 7071a and the first proximity switch 7073, A base plate side advantageous forward path 7072 b and a second proximity switch 7074 are provided. Thus, the starting opening 7071a and the base plate side advantageous outward path 7072b trigger the determination on condition that the game ball is won (passed), and the result of the determination is the liquid crystal display 16 and the first special symbol display portion A trigger is provided to display on the 73 and the second special symbol display section 74.

  Next, the operation of the game ball sorting device 7200 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 41, 42, 45 and 46. FIG.

  When the solenoid 7250 is in the non-energized state (non-excitation state), as shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, the movable piece 7220 is located immediately below the communication hole 7031. Thus, the communication hole 7031 is closed by the movable piece 7220.

  When the solenoid 7250 is in the energized state (excitation state), it generates an attraction force upward. Then, as shown in FIG. 45, the solenoid 7250 sucks the metal piece 7240 upward by the adsorption force. Then, the flapper 7230 swings clockwise around the axis of the second pin 7212 in left side view. That is, the front part of the flapper 7230 swings upward.

  Then, the protrusion 7231 of the flapper 7230 presses the lower part (front part) of the movable piece 7220 in the upper front direction while sliding the long hole 7222a of the movable piece 7220 from the other side (lower side) to one side (upper side) Do. Thus, the movable piece 7220 pivots clockwise around the axis of the first pin 7211 in a left side view. Then, the movable piece upper portion 7221 of the movable piece 7220 swings (moves) rearward and downward, and separates from the communication hole 7031 of the upper stage passage 7030. Thus, the movable piece upper portion 7221 of the movable piece 7220 opens the communication hole 7031.

  On the other hand, when the solenoid 7250 is in the non-energized state (non-excitation state), the solenoid 7250 does not generate an upward attractive force. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 46, the flapper 7230 swings counterclockwise around the axis of the second pin 7212 in left side view by its own weight. That is, the front part of the flapper 7230 swings downward.

  Then, the protrusion 7231 of the flapper 7230 slides the lower part (front part) of the movable piece 7220 downward while sliding the long hole 7222a of the movable piece 7220 from one side (upper rear side) to the other side (lower front side) Press. Accordingly, the movable piece 7220 swings counterclockwise around the axis of the first pin 7211 in left side view. Then, the movable piece upper portion 7221 of the movable piece 7220 swings (moves) in the upper front direction, and approaches the communication hole 7031 of the upper passage 7030. Accordingly, the movable piece upper portion 7221 of the movable piece 7220 closes the communication hole 7031. At this time, the upper stage passage 7030 and the game ball distribution device 7200 (the movable piece upper portion 7221) are in an arrangement relationship in which they do not contact each other. Therefore, even if the game ball distribution device 7200 is in the closed state, the passage and the movable piece do not rub against each other, and dust generated by the rub does not occur, so even if the game machine is used for a long time The minute device 7200 does not malfunction.

  As described above, the movable piece 7220 swings downward (backward and downward), so that the communication hole 7031 can be opened apart from the communication hole 7031. Further, when the movable piece 7220 swings upward (forward upward), the communication hole 7031 can be closed in the vicinity of the communication hole 7031. As described above, closing and opening of the communication hole 7031 by the movable piece 7220 are performed with the movable piece 7220 and the communication hole 7031 hardly sliding with each other. And such operation | movement of the movable piece 7220 can be performed by switching the energized state and the non-energized state of the solenoid 7250. That is, closing and opening of the communication hole 7031 can be switched by switching between the energized state and the non-energized state of the solenoid 7250.

  Thus, in the gaming ball distribution device 7200, by swinging the movable piece 7220, the communication hole 7031 can be closed and opened, and the gaming balls passing through the upper passage 7030 can be distributed to the advantageous course or the disadvantageous course.

  Here, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, as described above, when the game balls are distributed to the advantageous course, the degree of advantage for the player is higher than when the game balls are allocated to the disadvantageous course. It is set to. Furthermore, in the game ball sorting device 7200, the swinging of the movable piece 7220 is performed by time management using the open time timer (see the sorting device control process shown in FIG. 29) as described above. The rocking movement of the (that is, the closing and opening of the communication hole 7031) is repeated at a constant timing. Therefore, for example, if the player can aim the game ball and purposefully reach the communication hole 7031 at a specific timing, appropriate distribution by the game ball distribution device 7200 is not performed, and the game ball goes to the advantageous course. It will be guided.

  As described above, if the game ball sorting apparatus 7200 does not properly distribute the game ball, it is not desirable because the degree of advantage for the player may be intentionally increased. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, to allow the game ball to reach the communication hole 7031 intentionally at a specific timing, it is possible to give randomness in the time for the fired game ball to reach the communication hole 7031. It has a possible configuration (Kloen 7100 etc.).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 47 to FIG. 55, the flow of the game ball A entered into the entrance 7010 will be specifically described.

  As shown in FIG. 47, the game ball A entered into the entrance 7010 flows down the warp passage 7020 and is guided to the Kroon 7100. In the present embodiment, by making the rolling time of the gaming ball in the clune 7100 as long as possible, it is difficult to make the timing for discharging the gaming ball from the clune 7100 constant.

  As shown in FIG. 48, the gaming ball A guided to the clave 7100 flows into the guiding portion 7110 through the inflow port 7111. Here, the bottom surface portion 7112 is inclined downward to the right (see FIG. 37). Therefore, the gaming ball A guided to the guiding portion 7110 moves the bottom surface portion 7112 in the right direction. At this time, since the game ball sent from the warp passage 7020 is given momentum in the rear, in many cases, the bottom surface 7112 is moved rightward while being in contact with the rear side wall 7113b.

  The game ball A moves rightward while being in contact with the rear side wall 7113 b and is guided to the rolling portion 7120. Specifically, the gaming ball A is guided to the starting point portion of the guiding wall 7122 (the connecting portion with the rear side wall portion 7113 b).

  The gaming ball A guided to the start portion of the guide wall 7122 rolls the bottom surface portion 7121 clockwise in plan view while in contact with the guide wall 7122. Then, the gaming ball A reaches the end point portion of the guide wall 7122 (the connection portion with the front side wall portion 7113a).

  As shown in FIG. 49, the gaming ball A that has reached the end point of the guide wall 7122 rolls clockwise in plan view while in contact with the corner of the step 7130. At this time, as shown in FIG. 50, the gaming ball A rolls in contact with the corner of the stepped portion 7130 in a state where a part thereof protrudes toward the guiding portion 7110 side.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 51, when the bulge portion 7122a is not provided on the guide wall 7122, the game ball A has its protrusion B (see FIG. 50) in the vicinity of the start point of the step 7130. And collide with the inner wall surface of the guide wall 7122 at an angle close to perpendicular. Then, the game ball A is flipped by the guide wall 7122 and is discharged to the outside from the discharge hole 7123 a without rolling the bottom surface portion 7121. For this reason, the rolling time of the game ball A becomes short, and it becomes impossible to play the role of Clune 7100 that gives randomness to the rolling time of the game ball A.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the swelling portion 7122a is provided at the starting point of the guide wall 7122, so that the game ball A should avoid colliding with the inner wall surface of the guide wall 7122 at an angle close to perpendicular. Can. That is, the gaming ball A smoothly contacts the guide wall 7122 at an angle close to parallel to the inner wall surface of the guide wall 7122. Therefore, it is possible to buffer the collision of the game ball A with the inner wall surface of the guide wall 7122. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball A from being flipped by the guide wall 7122 and to prevent the game ball A from being immediately discharged from the discharge hole 7123a to the outside.

  The bottom portion 7121 slopes downward toward the center (see FIG. 37). For this reason, the gaming ball A rolling on the bottom surface portion 7121 moves toward the center while rotating clockwise in plan view, and is guided to the discharge portion 7123.

  The game ball A guided to the discharge portion 7123 is guided downward while rotating clockwise in plan view while in contact with the inner wall of the discharge hole 7123 a. Here, since the discharge hole 7123a is formed in an inverted conical shape, it is difficult for the rotational speed to drop. Therefore, it is possible to lengthen the maximum time until the gaming ball A is discharged from the discharge hole 7123a. As described above, by making the rolling time of the gaming ball in the Kroon 7100 as long as possible, it becomes difficult to make the timing for discharging the gaming ball from the Kroon 7100 constant. That is, since the randomness can be given to the passage (rolling) time of the game ball passing through the clown 7100, even when the player aims to hit, the game ball is intentionally communicated at a specific timing at the communication hole 7031. Can not be reached.

  As shown in FIG. 47, the game balls discharged from the discharge holes 7123a are received by the upper passage 7030. Since the upper stage passage 7030 is inclined downward to the right, the gaming balls are guided to the right by the upper stage passage 7030. The game ball moving in the upper level passage 7030 reaches the portion where the communication hole 7031 is provided.

  Here, when the communication hole 7031 is closed by the movable piece 7220 of the gaming ball distribution device 7200, the gaming ball moves the upper passage 7030 rightward without falling from the communication hole 7031, You will be guided to the "adverse course". On the other hand, when the communication hole 7031 is closed by the movable piece 7220, the gaming ball falls from the communication hole 7031 and is guided to the "advantage course".

  In the following, the flow of the game ball passing through the "favorable course" will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 52, the gaming ball that has moved in the upper passage 7030 to the right without being dropped from the communication hole 7031 is guided to the right end of the stage 7040. Since the right end of the stage 7040 is inclined downward to the left, the gaming balls flowing into the stage 7040 are guided to the left. The game ball flows down from one of the flow outlets 7041, 7042, and 7043 depending on conditions such as the speed of moving the stage 7040.

  Here, when the gaming ball flows down from the inflow opening 7041 on the right side and the outflow opening 7043 on the left side, the gaming ball flows downward without entering the starting opening 7071a of the starting opening unit 7070. In this case, the player can not obtain a winning ball.

  On the other hand, when the gaming ball flows down from the inflow opening 7042 in the middle, the gaming ball enters the starting opening 7071 a of the starting opening unit 7070.

  As shown in FIG. 53, the gaming ball having entered the starting opening 7071a is guided to the rear by the base plate side disadvantageous passage 7072a, and is sent to the central cage 7060. Then, the gaming ball is guided leftward and downward by the heel base side disadvantageous passage 7061d, and passes through the through hole 7073a of the first proximity switch 7073. Thereby, the main CPU 101 can confirm that the gaming ball has passed the "adverse course". When the main CPU 101 confirms that the gaming ball has passed through the "favorable course", it performs a predetermined number of winning balls. The gaming ball having passed the first proximity switch 7073 is guided downward as it is, and is discharged to the outside from the disadvantageous course discharge port 7061 f.

  Next, the flow of the game ball passing through the "advantage course" will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 54, the gaming balls having flowed down from the communication hole 7031 enter the inflow port 7061 a of the central chopstick base 7061. Then, the gaming ball passes through the introduction path 7061b and is discharged from the discharge port 7061c.

  As shown in FIGS. 54 and 55, the gaming balls discharged from the discharge port 7061c are guided forward by the weir cover side advantageous forward path 7065a, and are sent to the start port unit 7070. The game ball sent to the starting opening unit 7070 passes through the base plate side advantageous outward path 7072 b and is sent to the starting opening decoration 7071. The game ball sent to the start decoration 7071 is guided rearward by the decoration advantageous passage 7071b (see FIG. 55).

  Then, the gaming ball passes through the base plate side advantageous return path 7072 c and is sent to the central rod 7060. Then, the gaming balls pass through the fence cover side advantageous return path 7065 b and are sent to the center bowl base 7061. The gaming ball sent to the central whistle base 7061 is guided to the right and downward by the whistle base side advantageous passage 7061 e and passes through the through hole 7074 a of the second proximity switch 7074 (see FIG. 54). Thereby, the main CPU 101 can confirm that the gaming ball has passed the "advantage course". When the main CPU 101 confirms that the gaming ball has passed through the "advantage course", it performs more award balls than the "adverse course". The gaming ball having passed the second proximity switch 7074 is guided downward as it is, and is discharged to the outside from the advantageous course discharge port 7061g.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, by operating the movable piece 7220 of the game ball distribution device 7200, the game balls can be distributed to the "advantage course" or the "disadvantage course". As the drive source of the movable piece 7220, a flapper type solenoid in which the power generation unit (solenoid 7250) and the drive unit (flapper 7230 and metal piece 7240) do not contact is used, so the contact surface between the solenoid main body and the plunger is scraped It is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems such as rattling, dust generated by scraping of members being solidified, and the plunger not expanding and contracting well.

  Further, the flapper 7230 shifts to a position where the movable piece 7220 closes the communication hole 7031 when the solenoid 7250 is not energized, but shifts to that position by its own weight without using biasing means such as a spring. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a defect that the spring is deteriorated and can not be returned to the retracted position well.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the solenoid 7250 is always driven (the opening timing 0.5 seconds and the closing timing 1.5 seconds are always alternately repeated). Such setting can be said to be a state in which a malfunction of the operation of the movable piece 7220 easily occurs. However, since the gaming ball distribution device 7200 is configured as described above, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of malfunction of the operation of the movable piece 7220.

  Hereinafter, movement control of the second movable service unit 8000 configured as described above will be described. In addition, below, the movement control which sets the movable light-emitting body 8200 made into the initial state into an effect state is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIGS. 86 and 87, the second movable service unit 8000 is located on the right side of the liquid crystal display device 16 in a front view. In the initial state shown in FIG. 76, the movable light emitting body 8200 is positioned above the elevation base member 8110. Further, as shown in FIG. 86, in the initial state, in the movable light-emitting body 8200, the upper side portions of the handle 8250 and the lever 8270 are hidden behind the upper portion (decorative member 56) of the center character 7000. It is considered to be difficult to see from the

  As shown in FIGS. 78 and 82, the second transmission gear is engaged via the output gear 8141 and the first transmission gear 8142 and the intermediate transmission gear 8143 which mesh with each other when the elevating motor 8130 of the elevation control means 8100 is driven. The 8144 rotates around its axis, counterclockwise as viewed from the rear.

  The rotation of the second transmission gear 8144 is transmitted to the rack portion 8222 meshing with the second transmission gear 8144. The rack portion 8222 is sent downward as the second transmission gear 8144 rotates. The movable light emitting body 8200 to which the rack portion 8222 is connected moves downward (descent) while being guided along the first guide groove 8111, the second guide groove 8112 and the third guide groove 8113 of the elevation base member 8110. .

  In the present embodiment, the restriction of the downward movement of the movable light emitting body 8200 by the lock member 8160 is released during the movement control. The lock member 8160 is controlled to retract the lock portion 8161 at the time of the movement control. Thereby, the restriction of the lock portion 8161 with respect to the lock receiving portion 8222b provided in the movable light emitting body 8200 is released, and the movable light emitting body 8200 can be moved downward. Further, in the present embodiment, at the time of the movement control, the movable light-emitting body 8200 moves downward against the upward biasing force of the biasing spring 8150.

  Further, with the downward movement of the movable light emitting body 8200 with respect to the elevating base member 8110 described above, the pivoting guide pin 8273a provided on the lever portion 8270 is directed downward along the pivoting guide groove 8121a of the elevating base member 8110. Move to the side. As the downward movement of the movable light emitting body 8200 proceeds, the pivoting guide pin 8273a is guided by the bent portion 8121b of the pivoting guide groove 8121a. Accordingly, the lever portion 8270 pivots counterclockwise in a rear view around the pivot shaft 8272.

As shown in FIG. 80, in the effect state, the movable light emitting body 8200 is positioned below the elevation base member 8110. Further, as shown in FIG. 87, in the effect state, the entire lever portion 8270 is disposed on the front side of the liquid crystal display device 16.

  Further, when the movable light emitting body 8200 in the effect state is in the initial state, the movement control reverse to the movement control described above is executed. If the lift motor 8130 is rotated in the opposite direction to the above-described movement control, the lift mechanism 8140 transmits the drive of the lift motor 8130 to move (lift) the movable light emitting body 8200 upward. In the present embodiment, since the movable light-emitting body 8200 is biased upward by the biasing spring 8150, the upward movement is assisted when the movable light-emitting body 8200 is lifted. Further, in the present embodiment, when the movable light emitting body 8200 is in the initial state, the lock portion 8161 of the lock member 8160 is controlled to protrude. As a result, when the lock receiving portion 8222 b of the movable light emitting body 8200 receives the lock portion 8161, the falling of the movable light emitting body 8200 is restricted.

  As described above, by providing effects that the player can visually recognize by the movable light emitting body 8200, it is possible to improve the game characteristics.

  Moreover, below, light emission control of the 2nd movable service item unit 8000 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 88, when light emission control is performed, the light emitting means 8281a mounted on the substrate 8281 emits light. The light emitted from the light emitting means 8281 a is incident on the light guide member 828 which is disposed on the front side of the substrate 8281. In the illustrated example, the light emitted by the light emitting means 8281a is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

  A part of the light that enters (enters) the light guide member 8282 and enters the light guide member 8282 is the light passing through the light guide member 8262 and the surface of the light guide member 8282 (the lens member 8283 side Light reflected to the surface of the In addition, the other part of the light entering the light guide member 8288 is totally reflected inside the light guide member 8282.

In addition, among light entering the light guide member 828, light having an incident angle larger than a predetermined angle is guided in the surface direction of the light guide member 8228 while repeating total reflection inside the light guide member 8228.

  A part of the light which enters (enters) the lens member 8283 through the light guide member 8282 and which enters the lens member 8283 is the light passing through the lens member 8283 and the surface of the lens member 8283 Light reflected to the surface on the side of the light member 8282). In addition, another part of the light entering the lens member 8283 is totally reflected inside the lens member 8283.

  Specifically, of the light entering the lens member 8283, the angle of incidence of the lens member 8283 with respect to the surface (the angle formed by the incident light and the line orthogonal to the surface in a cross sectional view) is The light smaller than the predetermined angle is transmitted through the lens member 8283 and emitted to the side opposite to the light guide member 8282, and the light is reflected to the surface of the lens member 8283 and the light guide member 828 side (the blade side And the light emitted to the base portion 8240 side). Further, among the light entering the lens member 8283, light having an incident angle larger than a predetermined angle is led to the surface direction of the lens member 8283 while repeating total reflection inside the lens member 8283.

  Further, as described above, the light reflected by the lens member 8283 and the light guide member 8282 and emitted to the blade side base portion 8240 (reflection member) side is reflected by the blade side base portion 8240 again, and the lens again Light enters member 8283 (light guide member 8282).

  With the above-described configuration, the blade-side base 8240 formed of a reflective member capable of reflecting light is provided at a position where it can reflect light emitted from the end of the lens member 8283. The light reflected by the blade-side base 8240 can be made to enter the lens member 8283 positioned on the back side of the mounting surface of the substrate 8281 which is difficult for the light from the light emitting means 8281 a to reach. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of unevenness in irradiation through the

  Further, in the present embodiment, the lens member 8283 is disposed such that the surface is directed obliquely forward. Thereby, the light from the lens member 8283 can be emitted to the front side facing the player.

  The light emission control described above can adopt various light emission modes. For example, light may be emitted in a predetermined pattern by appropriately lighting or blinking the light emitting means 8281a.

You may form so that it may be located outside (left side). Further, the surface facing the rear side in the left end portion of the lens member 8283 is opposed to the surface facing the front side of the blade-side base portion 8240 with a gap.

  Also in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment described above, the light emitted by the light emitting means 8281 a enters the lens member 8283 via the anti-light guide member 8288. In the illustrated example, the light emitted by the light emitting means 8281a is indicated by a two-dot chain line. Part of the light entering the lens member 8283 is divided into light that transmits the lens member 8283 and is reflected to the surface of the lens member 8283 (the surface on the side opposite to the light guiding member 8282). In addition, another part of the light entering the lens member 8283 is totally reflected inside the lens member 8283.

  Also in the gaming machine configured as described above, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of unevenness in the irradiation through the lens member 8283. Further, in the present embodiment, the light emitted rearward from the tip end surface of the lens member 8283 can be reflected by the surface of the left end portion of the blade base portion 8240 facing forward. Accordingly, the light emitted backward from the tip end surface of the lens member 8283 can be reflected toward the front side facing the player, and the light can be emitted through the lens member 8283.
