Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention, based on a specific aspect of an auxiliary gaming device, changes to convert a first state that is disadvantageous to a player and a second state that is advantageous to a player. The present invention relates to a technique which is effective when applied to a pachinko game machine equipped with a winning device.

[Prior Art] In a pachinko gaming machine, in order to change the game contents and enhance the interest of the game contents, a number of electric prize winning devices called so-called accessory have been developed.

As the above-mentioned electric winning device, for example, the display is changed by being activated by the winning of a game ball into a special winning opening provided in the game area, and the occurrence rate is relatively low, but it corresponds to a special display mode called a big hit. Then, a pachinko gaming machine provided with an auxiliary gaming device or the like that opens a special winning opening of the variable winning device and generates a special game mode in which the winning rate rapidly increases has been proposed.

And, this kind of pachinko game machine is controlled as follows so as not to unnecessarily agitate the gambling spirit of the game store and the player.

That is, the open time for one time (one cycle) of the variable winning device in the special game mode is up to 30 seconds. However, when 10 hit balls are won in the variable prize device within that time, the variable prize device is closed at that point and one cycle of the special game mode is completed.

Further, the opening of the variable winning device can be continued up to a predetermined cycle (for example, 10 cycles), and as a continuation requirement, at least one of the hit balls in the variable winning device is a continuation condition constituent winning area during each cycle. Suppose you have to win a prize.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since the control is performed as described above, the number of prize balls that a player can obtain by one occurrence of a special game mode is substantially constant regardless of the game technology of the player. As a result, there is a problem that the player lacks interest in pachinko games.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and in the special game mode, it is possible to balance the profit between the player and the game shop without mischieving the player's eagerness. There is room for technical intervention in which more chances of winning prize balls can be obtained depending on the aim of the player's hitting ball within the range, thereby further increasing the interest in pachinko games. The purpose is to provide.

[Means for Solving Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention has an auxiliary gaming device (4) and an auxiliary gaming device (4) in a gaming area surrounded by guide rails (3). Pachinko equipped with a variable winning device (5) having a movable member (52) that can be converted into a first state that is disadvantageous to the player and a second state that is advantageous to the player based on a special aspect of the auxiliary gaming device. In the gaming machine, an auxiliary winning portion (80b) is provided in the vicinity of the variable winning device or integrally with the variable winning device, and the movable member of the variable winning device is in a second state advantageous to the player. The guide portion (52c) for guiding the hit ball toward the auxiliary winning portion when converted is provided.

[Operation] When the movable member is converted into an advantageous state for the player based on a specific aspect of the auxiliary game device, the hit ball not only easily enters the auxiliary winning port, but also flows down to the guide portion of the displaced movable member. The hit ball is guided by the guide portion so as to easily enter the auxiliary winning portion.

FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a game board 1 of a pachinko game machine to which the present invention is applied, and a hitting ball launching device (shown in FIG. A guide rail 3 that guides a hit ball fired by the omission) to an upper portion of the game board 1 is provided. A game area 2 is provided in a space surrounded by the guide rail 3 and the glass plate on the front of the game board 1.
Are formed.

Then, in the center of this game area 2, the auxiliary game device 4
Is placed, and in the state where the hitting of the hit ball is controlled by the obstacle nail 11, the so-called “heaven” winning hole 12
Is arranged.

In addition, on the left and right sides of the auxiliary game device 4, special winning openings 8,8
But also below them are tulip-style winning devices
9 and 9 are arranged in a state in which the winning of the hit ball can be controlled by the obstacle nail 11 and the rolling guide members 17a and 17b (so-called windmill direction changing members of the hit ball).

Further, the variable winning device 5 is arranged below the auxiliary game device 4. General winning openings 80a, 80b are provided on the upper right and left sides of the variable winning device 5.

In addition, at the bottom of the game board 1, an outlet 10 is provided for collecting hit balls that could not be won in the above-mentioned winning openings 8, 9, 12, etc. to the rear of the game board 1 while falling from above. There is.

At the center of the upper part of the auxiliary game device 4, as shown in FIG. 1 (front view), FIG. 2 (perspective view) and FIG. 3 (longitudinal side view), a tulip type flow that can be opened and closed. A road opening / closing device 6 is arranged, and a special winning opening 7 is provided in the lower center.

In addition, on the left and right sides of the lower part of the flow path opening / closing device 6, the guiding part 4
1, 41 are projectingly provided, and inside the guide portions 41, 41, a gate member 62 of the flow channel opening / closing device 6 that can be opened / closed is arranged,
When the gate member 62 is in a closed state, downflow guide surfaces 41a, 41a for guiding the hit ball passing through the outside of the flow path opening / closing device 6 in the upward direction of the special winning opening 7 are provided, respectively.

Further, a plurality of obstacle nails 11 are planted on the board surface portion of the flow path opening / closing device 6 diagonally above and to the left and right. With these obstacle nails 11, a conversion winning flow passage 13 capable of guiding a hit ball into the passage opening / closing device 6 is provided on the upper side thereof, and a passage opening / closing device 6 in the closed state is provided on the lower side thereof. A special winning passage 14 for introducing a hit ball is provided between the guide section 41 and the guide section 41. The obstacle nail 11 between the conversion winning passage 13 and the special winning passage 14 may be replaced with another obstacle such as a plate-like obstacle.

The flow path opening / closing device 6 has a pocket-shaped winning prize frame 61, and a pair of left and right gate members 62, 62 are respectively provided with pins 6 in the winning prize frame 61 with an interval enough to put a ball into each other.
It is rotatably supported around 3,63 (Fig. 3) as an axis. These gate members 62, 62 are regulated so that they can be rotated from a vertical parallel posture to a posture in which they are opened in an inverted "C" shape, and the upper side of the gate member 62 is always tilted outward by its own weight to open (Fig. 1). It is balanced such that it rotates in the direction indicated by the chain line).

As shown in FIG. 3, an impeller type cam 64 is rotatably installed by a pin 64a so that the front end faces between the gate members 62, 62 behind the lower parts of the gate members 62, 62. This impeller type cam 64 is rotated by 90 ° each time a hit ball flows between the gate members 62, 62, and the gate member 62 is rotated each time.
It acts so as to alternately change 62 and 62 between the open state and the closed state.

That is, the pin 64a of the impeller-type cam 64 is horizontally extended below the pin 63 that supports the gate members 62, 62, and the impeller-type cam 64 has four blades 64b as shown in FIG. 90 °
The fan-shaped cams 64c are provided radially at intervals, and alternate fan-shaped cams 64c are formed at the left and right end portions of each blade 64b, and both end portions of the impeller-type cam 64 are alternately closed. Then, each time a ball hits between the gate members 62, 62, the ball hits the blade 6
The impeller cam is pushed by hitting the front part of 4b and pushing it down.
Rotate 64 about 90 °. As shown in FIG. 3, a stopper 65 having a pin 65a as an axial center is rotatably provided from the upper portion of the cam 64 to the rear thereof. A weight 65b is embedded in the front end of the stopper 65, and the weight of the weight 65b lowers the front end of the stopper 65 so that the V-shaped groove between the pair of blades 64b-64b located at the upper end of the impeller cam 64. Are intervening in. By the intervention of the stopper 65, the hit ball is moved to the blade 64b.
Each time it hits, the impeller type cam 64 is controlled so as to rotate by 90 ° and be stopped, and the impeller type cam 64 is prevented from rioting.

When the fan-shaped cams 64c rotate 90 ° at a time, the fan-shaped cams 64c at the left and right ends reach the position where they come into contact with the lower ends of the gate members 62, 62 as shown in FIG. The bases of the gate members 62, 62 come into contact with the outer surface of the fan-shaped cam 64c so that the gate members 62, 62 stand substantially vertically in parallel and are maintained in a closed state. On the other hand, the fan-shaped cam 64c causes the gate member 62,
When it reaches a position where it does not come in contact with the bottom end of 62, the regulation by the fan-shaped cam 64c is released, and the upper parts of the gate members 62, 62 are tilted outward due to their own weight and opened in an inverted "C" shape. Change to state. In this state, when the hit ball again flows in between the gate members 62-62, when the hit ball passes downward between the gate members 62, 62, the hit ball comes into contact with the inside of the lower end and the gate member 6
Rotate and return 2,62 to a substantially parallel vertical state. At about the same time, the striking ball contacts the blade 64b to rotate the impeller-type cam 64 counterclockwise by 90 °, and again, as shown in FIG. The gate members 62, 62 are maintained in a state of standing substantially parallel and vertical again by contacting the inner part of the lower side. Thus, the gate members 62, 62 alternate between the open state and the closed state each time a hit ball enters them.

The hit ball that has flowed in between the gate members 62-62 flows through the opening 66 at the lower rear of the gate member 62 into the rear collecting gutter 100 of the game board and is processed as a winning ball.

As described above, when the gate members 62, 62 are closed and are standing in a substantially vertical parallel manner, the hit ball passes from the special prize flow passages 14, 14 between the flow passage opening / closing device 6 and the guiding portion 41 toward the special prize opening 7 direction. Is allowed to go to. As a result, when the channel closing device 6 is in the closed state, it is easier for the hit ball to enter the special winning opening 7 as much as the special winning channel 14 is opened, and the number of challenges to the auxiliary game device 4 is increased. It is possible to enter a game state that is advantageous to the player.

On the other hand, when the gate members 62, 62 are opened, the gate member 6
The special winning opening 7 through the special winning passages 14 and 14 for hitting the ball when the tips of the 2,62 block the special winning passages 14 and 14.
It becomes impossible to flow into. At this time, the probability of hitting the ball at the special winning opening 7 is reduced accordingly.

That is, the probability of winning the special winning opening 7 changes depending on whether the gate members 62, 62 are opened or closed.

By the way, in the center of the auxiliary gaming device 4, three displays are displayed for a certain period of time (when a stop button (not shown) is pushed within the time, due to the winning of the hit ball to the special winning opening 7 or 8) A variable display device 42 composed of a segment type display that changes and stops is installed. Then, when the variable display stops, for example, 3
When both numbers are the same (a = b = c), a control device (not shown) operates and a special game mode occurs.

This special game mode (special mode) is a mode that can give a lot of special benefits to the player, and includes game machines (2 types, 3 types) other than the one type shown in this embodiment.

Below the segment type display 42, a special prize hole 7,
Four memory indicators (light emitting diodes) 43 are provided for displaying the number of hit balls which have been won to 8 but are stored as the unprocessed balls of the variable display device 42. The special winning balls corresponding to the number of the memory indicators 43 are stored as the unprocessed number, and the activation of the variable display is repeated by the stored number.

In addition, in the guide section 41, 41, a game mode display section 41 in which a lamp in the special game mode is lit and displayed.
b and 41b are provided.

On the other hand, as shown in detail in FIG. 4, a relatively large auxiliary winning port is provided at the upper center of the component board 50 of the variable winning device 5.
51 is provided. The auxiliary winning opening 51 has the winning opening 51
There is provided a movable member 52 that can be converted into a first state that is disadvantageous to the player and a second state that is advantageous to the player. In this movable member 52, pins 52a, 52a (Fig. 6) projecting from the lower ends of the left and right sides are pivotally supported on the lower ends of the left and right sides of the auxiliary winning port 51, and the upper end of the movable member 52 is The auxiliary winning port 51 is configured to open by rotating in the direction of falling toward the front side. Inside the movable member 52, a transmission member 521 is rotatably installed around a pin 521a as an axis, as shown in FIG. This transmission member 521 has a urging force which, in a normal game mode, causes the solenoid 522 as a drive source installed above it to stop and the rod 522a to return downward and extend due to its weight and the spring 522b. By pushing down at its tip, the actuating protrusion 52b of the movable member 52 is pushed down to return the movable member 52 to the vertical state as shown by the chain double-dashed line, and the auxiliary opening
It is designed to block 51.

Then, when shifting to the special game mode, the solenoid 522
Is excited and the rod 522a contracts (rises). Then, the movable member 52 is a rotation restricting member protrudingly provided at the center of the front surface.
The weight of 52c opens in the direction that the upper side falls forward. Then, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 7, the tip of the rotation restricting member 52c hits the front surface of the component board 50 and remains in a state where it is inclined and opened upward.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 6, protrusion preventing portions 52d, 52d are formed on the left and right ends of the back surface of the movable member 52,
Guide portions 52e, 52e are formed at the upper end portion of the guide portions 52e, 52e so as to be inclined toward the outside.

As described above, by providing the movable member 52 with the pop-out prevention portion 52d, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience that the hit ball that flows down vigorously in the winning area of the movable member 52 above the movable member 52 pops out.

In addition, the general prize hole 80a on both the left and right sides of the auxiliary prize hole 51,
Below the 80a, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the auxiliary winning portion 80 as a general winning opening is provided at regular intervals.
b, 80b are provided. Then, between the general winning opening 80a-auxiliary winning portion 80b, the obstacle nail 11a for jumping-in restriction and the obstacle nail 11b for winning probability restriction are vertically spaced apart for hitting ball passing, and the length of the component base 50 is long. It is planted on the board surface of the game machine through the hole 50a.

Then, in the special game mode, the movable member 52 is pivoted in the direction of falling toward the front side as shown in FIG. 6 and opened, and the hit ball flowing down on the left and right guide portions 52e is chained in the same figure. As shown by, the state becomes easy to be guided into the auxiliary winning portion 80b through the obstacle nails 11a-11b and 11b-11b.

Therefore, at this time, the player can aim not only at the auxiliary winning port 51 but also the auxiliary winning portion 80b by appropriately adjusting the spring of the hitting ball launching device (not shown).

On the other hand, in the normal game mode, since the movable member 52 is closed, there is no guide of the hit ball by the guide portion 52c, and therefore the possibility of the hit ball jumping into the auxiliary winning portion 80b is low.

In addition, a winning number indicator 54 composed of ten winning indicators 54a (light emitting diodes) arranged in a line in the horizontal direction is installed on the front surface of the structural base 50 above the movable member 52. The winning number display 54 is turned on one by one from the left by the number of hit balls in the auxiliary winning opening 51 in each cycle in the special game mode. When this display reaches 10, one cycle of the special game mode ends at that point and the movable member 52
Is supposed to close.

Further, a digital time indicator 55 is installed below the movable member 50, and the elapsed time of the special game mode for each cycle (the elapsed elapsed time of the movable member 50) is displayed on the time indicator 55. It is displayed as a number. The opening duration is
For example, one cycle is within 30 seconds.

Therefore, in a special game mode, the player can see both the winning number indicator 54 and the time indicator 55 to know the winning number of the hit ball to the auxiliary winning port 51 and the elapsed elapsed time of the movable member 52. it can. Then, based on that, it is determined whether it is advantageous to aim for winning in the auxiliary winning hole 51, or whether it is advantageous to aim the winning in the auxiliary winning portion 80b by letting the ball hit the inclined guide portion 52c. However, the technical intervention that the spring adjustment of the hitting ball launching device (not shown) can be performed so as to aim at the advantageous side is opened. As a result, the satisfaction of winning prize balls can be obtained and the interest in pachinko machines can be increased.

In addition, if the number of winnings to the auxiliary winning opening 51 is close to 10, but the opening time of the movable member 52 is short, the general winning opening 80b is aimed to win, and conversely the moving member 52 is opened. Even if the elapsed time is close to 30 seconds, if the number of winnings to the auxiliary winning port 51 is still small, the total number of winnings is increased by aiming to win the auxiliary winning port 51.

Further, game mode indicators 57, 57 which are displayed blinking at the time of the special game mode are provided near the left and right ends of the front surface of the component board 50.

On the other hand, the general winning hole on the back side of the component board 50 of the variable winning device 5
As shown in FIG. 5, in a portion corresponding to 80a, 80b, a guide trough 80aa, 80ba for guiding the hit balls entered in the general winning holes 80a, 80b into the collecting trough 100 (FIG. 3) on the back side of the board. Is provided. Then, above the auxiliary winning port 51 on the back surface of the component board 50, the wiring board 54 having the winning number indicator 54 on the front surface side.
b is attached.

Further, below the auxiliary winning port 51 on the back side of the component board 50, a guide gutter 50b for collecting the hit balls flowing into the auxiliary winning port 51 in the center.
Is provided. At the center bottom of the guide gutter 50b, a count detector for detecting a hit ball flowing into the auxiliary winning port 51.
50c is installed. The number of hit balls detected and counted by the count detector 50c is the winning number display device.
Displayed on 54.

The hit ball passing through the count detector 50c flows down to the collecting gutter 100.

Further, a display lamp 57b is installed at a position corresponding to the back side of the game mode display 57 via a lamp board 57a.

Further, a back plate 56 is attached to a position corresponding to the auxiliary winning port 51 on the back side of the component board 50.

At the center of the back plate 56, a continuous detector 56a is installed with the rear end portion housed in a housing case 56b.
As shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 5, this continuation detector 56a is arranged in a state of being substantially in contact with the back side of the central lower portion of the auxiliary winning port 51, and enters the auxiliary winning port 51 during a special game mode. When the hit ball passes through the continuation detector 56a, it is detected and the continuation condition is satisfied.

A lens member 56c for visually recognizing the continuation condition satisfaction display lamp 56b arranged on the back side is attached to a position above the continuation detector 56a. Then, when the continuation condition is satisfied, the continuation condition satisfaction display lamp 56b is turned on and is visually recognized by the player through the lens member 56c, and the player can confirm that the continuation condition is satisfied by seeing this. .

Further, in the lower part of the back surface of the back plate 56, a wiring board for collecting and supplying power to various lamps provided in the variable winning device 5 and controlling and collecting detection signals is continued.
59 is installed, and the control lead wire 59a is connected to a control board (not shown) via a connector 59b.

In this way, the wiring process is facilitated by installing the wiring relay board 59 on the variable winning device 5 itself.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a game control procedure executed by a control device including a CPU (microcomputer) after a ball hitting the special winning opening 7 or 8 has been won.

In this case, a memory counter is provided in the CPU for storing the winnings of up to four hit balls to the special winning opening 7 or 8, and the variable display device 42 is variably driven to be displayed or specified in the auxiliary game by the variable display device 42. Operation result (for example, (1,1,
1), (2,2,2) etc. are detected and a routine for generating a special game mode is executed.

When the power of the gaming machine is turned on and the game is started, the memory counter is first reset in step R1.

In step R2, it is determined whether or not there is a new winning at the special winning opening 7 or 8, and if there is (YES), the process proceeds to step R3, and if not (NO), the process proceeds to step R4.

In step R2, it is determined that there is no new winning in the special winning opening 7 or 8 (NO), and the process proceeds to step R4.
Here, when it is determined that the memory counter is not "greater than 0", that is, when the winning in the special winning opening 7 or 8 is not accumulated, the process returns to step R2 and the same loop is repeated.

Then, a special prize occurs and steps from step R2
The process proceeds to R3, and it is determined in step R3 whether or not the storage counter has exceeded the maximum storage setting number of "4". here,
If it is determined to be "4" or less, the process proceeds to step R5, the storage counter is incremented by "+1", and then the process proceeds to step R6 to operate the variable display device 42. However, if the memory counter exceeds "4", the process proceeds to step R6 and the variable display device 42 is operated. This variable display is
For example, it is an operation in which the three indicators independently and randomly change the numerical display. If there is a new special prize after the start of variable display, the memory counter is incremented in step R5.

Even if there is no new special prize in step R2, when the memory counter is determined to be “greater than 0” in step R4, that is, when the prize for the specific winning opening 7 or 8 is saved, The process proceeds from R4 to step R6, and the variable display device 42 is operated in the same manner as above.

As described above, the variable display device 42 at step R6.
After the operation of is started, the process proceeds to the next step R7.

In step R7, the operation of the variable display device 42 is “6 seconds have passed”
It is determined whether or not it has been done. If "6 seconds has not elapsed", the process proceeds to step R8, and if "6 seconds has elapsed", the step proceeds to step R8.
Move to R9.

At step R8, it is judged whether or not "stop" is applied by the stop button (not shown), and "stop"
If is not applied, the process returns to step R7 again. That is, is the variable display device 42 operating for 6 seconds,
Alternatively, it continues to operate until "Stop" is applied by the stop button (not shown).

On the other hand, whether the operation time of the variable display device 42 has passed 6 seconds,
Alternatively, when "stop" is applied by the stop button (not shown), the variable display device 42 is sequentially stopped in step R9, and the process proceeds to next step R10.

In Step R10, it is determined whether or not the variable display device 42 is in a "specific operation result" (for example, a doublet of (1,1,1), (2,2,2), etc.), and "specific If the result is not "operation result of step S12", the process proceeds to step R12, the storage counter is decremented by "1", and the process returns to step R2.
The above procedure is repeated unless the "specific operation result" of the variable display device 42 is obtained.

Then, when the "specific operation result" of the variable display device 42 is accidentally obtained, this time, from step R10 to step R11.
Then, a special game mode called a big hit is generated, and the CPU starts the special game.

FIG. 9 shows an example of a special game control procedure executed by the control device (CPU) after a special game mode has occurred.

In order to be able to perform this control, in the CPU, a continuation number counter that counts the number of continuations of a special game mode in advance, a timer counter that sets a time limit for the special game mode, and an auxiliary winning port of the variable winning device A prize number counter that counts the number of hit balls to 51 and a flag that identifies the establishment of the continuation condition are prepared.

When the CPU starts the control when a special game mode occurs, first, various settings such as resetting flags for identifying the establishment of various counters and continuation conditions are performed (step R13).
~ R16).

Then, after a fixed preparation period (about 2 seconds) (step R17), the solenoid 522 as the opening drive source of the variable winning device 5 is turned on (step R18), and the time indicator is displayed.
Start time display of 55 (step R19). At the same time, the special game mode display is started by blinking the game mode indicators 41b and 57 (step
After R20), the process proceeds to step R21.

In step R21, whether or not the continuation detector 56a is turned on (ON) by hitting a hit ball in the auxiliary winning opening 51,
That is, it is determined whether or not the continuation condition of the special game mode is satisfied. Then, when the continuation detector 56a is turned on (ON) and the continuation condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step R22.

In step R22, it is determined whether or not the flag for identifying the satisfaction of the continuation condition is "0". If the flag is "1", the process directly proceeds to step R27, and if the flag is "0", the process proceeds to step R23. However, when the process first comes to step R22, the flag is set to "0" by initialization.
Therefore, the process always moves from step R22 to R23.

In step R23, the continuation number counter is incremented by "+1", and the process proceeds to the next step R24.

In step R24, it is determined whether or not the continuation number counter is already at the upper limit of the continuation number, "10".
If it is "10", it is not necessary to continue the special game mode of the next cycle, so the step R2 is continued.
Move to 7. However, if it has not reached “10” yet, the continuation condition satisfaction indicator lamp 56b is turned on (ON) in step R25, and the flag indicating the satisfaction of the continuation condition is set to “1” in step R26. After the special game mode of the cycle is finished, the special game mode of the next cycle is set to be started, and then the process proceeds to step R27.

In step R27, it is determined whether or not the count detector 50c is turned on (ON) due to the hitting of the ball in the auxiliary winning opening 51. If it is turned on, the process proceeds to step R28 to increment the winning number counter by "+1", and further proceeds to step R29 to update the winning number on the winning number indicator 54, after which step R3
Move to 0. On the other hand, if the hit detector does not enter the auxiliary winning opening 51 and the count detector 50c is not on (ON), the winning number counter is not counted up, and the process proceeds directly to step R30.

In step R30, it is determined whether or not 10 hit balls have been won in the auxiliary winning port 51 during the special game mode of one cycle and the winning number counter has reached the upper limit "10". If it has not reached "10", the process moves to the next step R31 and it is determined by the timer counter whether or not the time limit (30 seconds) of the special game mode of one cycle has elapsed. Then, when the time limit has not reached “30 seconds”, the process returns to the step R18 again and the subsequent steps are repeated.

Then, when the winning number counter reaches "10" or when the time display of the time display reaches "30", the process proceeds to step R32 and the solenoid 5
After turning off 22 (Fig. 7) and closing the auxiliary winning opening 51 by the movable member 52, the process moves to step R33 to turn off the display of the game mode indicators 41b and 57 to turn off the cycle. The special game ends.

Thereafter, the routine proceeds to step R34, where it is judged whether or not the flag indicating the satisfaction of the continuation condition is "0", that is, whether or not the continuation condition of the next cycle is not satisfied.
When the flag is not "0", that is, the step
When the continuation condition is detected in R21 and the flag is set to "1" in step R26, the process returns from step R34 to step R14 to reset the counters and flags other than the continuation counter in the same manner as above. After going, the special game of the cycle is repeated next.

Thus, if the continuation condition is satisfied during one cycle, the special game can be repeated up to 10 cycles.

Then, the condition for continuing the special game in the next cycle is not satisfied, and the flag remains "0",
If it is determined at R34, the transition to the next cycle is stopped and the special game is completely finished at that point.

[Second Embodiment] A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the guide portions 52e, 52e are provided at the upper ends of the left and right protrusion preventing portions 52d, 52d of the movable member 52.

As shown by the arrow B in the figure, the player is guided to the lower part near the auxiliary winning part 80b, and as a result, it is easy to win the prize in the auxiliary winning part 80b.

In this embodiment, the interaction between the restriction member 52c outer guide portion 52e of the movable member 52 and the inner inclined protrusion 80ab of the general winning opening 80a makes it easier or harder for a hit ball to enter the auxiliary winning portion 80b. Therefore, the game becomes more interesting.

[Fourth Embodiment] FIG. 12 shows a fourth embodiment.

In this embodiment, the auxiliary winning portion 80b is a side jump type winning device, and is otherwise the same as the third embodiment.

The side jump type winning device as the auxiliary winning portion 80b in this embodiment is a side winning opening 80bb provided directly under the general winning opening 80a, and a ball hitting guide planted in front of the entrance to the winning opening 80bb. It is composed of nails 11c.

The hitting ball guiding nail 11c includes a restricting member 52c and a general winning hole 80.
It is located below the side of a.

When the movable member 52 is in the state where the auxiliary winning opening 51 is closed, the hitting ball flows down between the restricting member 52c and the general winning opening 80a, the hitting ball is in the state where the restricting member 52c is raised. It is guided only by the inclined protrusion 80ab inside the winning opening 80a and is deflected in the direction of arrow C in FIG.
It becomes difficult to win in a.

On the other hand, when the movable member 52 is in the state where the auxiliary winning port 51 is opened, if the hit ball also flows down, the hit ball is lowered without being deflected to the inclined protruding portion 80ab inside the general winning hole 80a. By the guide portion 52e of the regulating member 52c in FIG. 11, the lower general winning portion 80 as shown by the arrow D in FIG.
It is guided to near b, and as a result, it is easy to hit the hitting ball guiding nail 11c and win the auxiliary winning portion 80b.

In this embodiment, as the auxiliary winning portion 80b, the side jump type winning device is adopted instead of the front jump type winning device shown in the third embodiment, so that a change in taste can be obtained due to the difference in the flight path of the hit ball. .
