Machines are well known.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, this type of pachinko gaming machine does not have a chance to enter the special prize gaming state unless a hit ball wins the starting winning opening and the display state of the variable display device changes. For this reason, if the hit ball does not easily enter the start winning opening and the number of changes in the display state is small, not only will the player's willingness to play the game be lost, but also the interest in the game will be significantly reduced, leading to a decrease in popularity. on the other hand,
If the number of changes in the display state is increased by making it easier to hit a ball into the starting winning opening, a fixed number (for example, 13
) Prize balls will be discharged, and the amusement store will suffer a great loss and the management will not be feasible.

To solve the above-mentioned problem, the gaming shop adjusts the winning probability to the starting winning opening by daily nail adjustment, but it does not lead to sufficient satisfaction for the player. It is the current situation.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a service to a player by causing a change operation of a display state of a variable display device to be performed irrespective of a winning ball from which a prize ball is discharged, and Is to provide a pachinko game machine that does not suffer a great loss.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a combination of a variable display device capable of sequentially and variably displaying a plurality of types of identification symbols, and a specific identification symbol predetermined by the variable display device. A variable prize device for greatly facilitating winning of a hit ball, a detection switch for detecting an out ball flowing out of the out port in a pachinko game machine having an out port on a game board, and a detection switch from the detection switch. And counter means for counting the number of out balls by a signal. Then, when the number of out balls reaches a predetermined number, only the display of the variable display device is changed and operated without discharging the prize balls by a signal from the counter circuit.

[Operation] An out ball flowing out of the out port is detected by the detection switch, and the signal is sent to the counter circuit. When the counter circuit counts a predetermined number of outgoing balls, a signal is sent to the variable display device, and only the display state of the prize balls is changed without discharging the prize balls.

EXAMPLES The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to one embodiment of the present invention. The pachinko gaming machine 1 has an upper tray 2 for storing a prize ball at the lower front and guiding the ball to a hit ball launching unit, and a lower tray 3 for storing a prize ball overflowing when the prize ball stored in the upper tray 2 overflows. , A launch handle 4, a variable time reduction button 5 of a variable display device 9, which will be described later, and a plurality of normal winning openings 8, a variable display device 9, a variable winning opening 10 such as a chip, etc. 1
1 is arranged. An out port 7 is formed below the game board 6.

The variable display device 9 includes three-digit segment display sections 12a to 12c as shown in FIG. Then, it is determined whether or not the combination of the segment display sections 12a to 12c is determined to provide the special prize gaming state by the determination circuit, and the change opening mode of the variable prize device 11 is determined based on the determination result. Can be

As shown in FIG. 4, the variable winning device 11 has an opening 13 which is laterally enlarged at a central portion, and a normal winning opening 14 is provided on both sides thereof. An opening / closing plate 1 is provided in front of the opening 13.
3 'is provided on the front side so as to be freely opened and closed. The open / close plate 13 'is rotatably supported on both lower sides by shafts 15, 15, and the open / close plate 13' is opened and closed by a driving means such as a solenoid.

FIG. 2 is a rear view of the pachinko gaming machine according to one embodiment of the present invention. A mechanism plate 16 is rotatably mounted on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine. The mechanism plate 16 has a winning ball collecting portion (ball shift) 17 formed in an inner portion facing the back surface of the game board 6. In addition, a prize ball tank 18 is disposed on the upper outside of the mechanism plate 16. Below the prize ball tank 18, a guide gutter 20 'for guiding the prize ball to the prize ball discharging device 19 is formed. Below the prize ball discharging device 19, a prize ball discharge gutter 20 for guiding the prize ball discharged from the prize ball discharging device 19 to the upper tray 2 and the lower tray 3 is formed. A winning ball processing device 21 is provided near the exit of the winning ball collecting section 17. Further, an out ball discharge gutter 22 is formed below the winning ball collecting portion 17 so as to communicate with the out port 7.

The out ball discharge gutter 22 is provided with a detection switch 23 for detecting an out ball flowing down from the out port 7. This detection switch 23 is connected to a display state conversion circuit of the variable display device 9 via a counter circuit. The counter circuit previously stores a predetermined number (for example, 10) of out-balls, receives the signal from the detection switch 23, continuously counts out-balls, and displays when the stored predetermined number is reached. A signal is sent to the state conversion circuit, and the segment display sections 12a to 12c of the variable display device 9 are transmitted by the signal.
Is operated to convert and display numbers up to 0, 1 ... 9. Then, when the fluctuation time reduction button 5 is pressed by the player after a predetermined time set by the timer or within the fixed time, the updating is stopped.

In the state where the updating of the segment display sections 12a to 12c is stopped, for example, when the numbers of the segment display sections 12a to 12c indicate a combination that is set in advance, an output corresponding to the combination is sent to the control circuit, and the variable prize device. 11 opening and closing plate 13 '
Is opened so that hit balls can be received. For example, when the numbers "7", "7", and "7" are displayed as a combination of the numbers, the open / close plate 13 'is kept open for a certain period of time (for example, 30 seconds) in the special prize game state, and is closed and then opened again. This operation is repeatedly performed, and a great benefit is given to the player. When the variable winning device 11 is in the opened state, the hit ball that is won is guided from the exit of the winning ball collecting unit 17 to the winning ball processing device 21 in the same manner as the hit ball that has won the normal winning openings 8 and 14. The processing device 21 sequentially processes the winning balls one by one and simultaneously activates the prize ball discharging device 19, whereby a certain number of prize balls are discharged.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention counts the number of outgoing balls flowing down the outgoing ball discharge gutter 22 from the out opening 7 and changes the display state of the variable display device 9 when a predetermined number including one is reached. Since the conversion operation is performed, it is possible for a game store to provide a service to a player without discharging prize balls. On the other hand, the player is given a sense of expectation to be in a specific game state by the game ball that has become the one-out ball, and can significantly increase the desire to play the game.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, a chance to enter the special prize game state is provided by converting only the display state of the variable display device without discharging a prize ball by a fixed number of out balls. As a result, it is possible to easily attract the player's interest and to improve the fun of the game.
