Regarding the ball game machine.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, in a ball game machine, for example, a pachinko game machine,
Specific winning openings (also called starting winning openings) provided on the game board
When a hit ball is won, for example, a variable display device having a plurality of variable display units starts variable display, and a combination of identification information displayed on the variable display unit when the variable display is stopped is predetermined. When the combination mode (for example, when all numbers “7” are displayed; hereinafter referred to as a specific mode), the variable winning ball device provided on the game board is opened for a relatively long time, The right to play different games is generated, and if a hit ball is won in a predetermined winning opening while the right is generated, the variable winning ball device is opened for a relatively long time so that a large number of winning balls are generated in a short time. Thus, a pachinko game machine that can increase the interest of the player has been proposed. In such a type of pachinko gaming machine, however, a large number of winning balls are generated once in the specific mode, so the probability that the variable display device is in the specific mode is suppressed to a very low level. It was necessary to take measures to increase the winning rate of hitting balls to a specific winning opening in order to increase the appearance probability of the specific mode in order to raise the interest of. However, by increasing the winning rate to the specific winning opening, the number of variable display operations of the variable display device increased and became interesting for the player, but on the contrary, payout of a prize ball by winning the specific winning opening In the case where the amount becomes large and the specific mode is achieved, a large amount of prize balls are paid out, and there is a problem that the game hall side is disadvantageous in payout management. Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, the number of prize balls paid out by winning a prize in a specific prize hole is set to be smaller than the number of prize balls paid out by a prize in another normal prize hole (for example, 1 Even if the winning rate to the specific winning opening is increased, the number of prize balls to be paid out can be reduced to facilitate payout management, and the variable display operation frequency of the variable display device can be increased. Then, a pachinko game machine has been proposed which satisfies the expectation of the player that the appearance probability of the particular mode is high.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in the above-mentioned pachinko gaming machine, it is necessary to pay out different prize balls between the specific winning opening and the normal winning opening, and for this reason, the collecting path of the winning balls arranged on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine or Two types of prize ball payout devices are provided to correspond to each, or a detection switch is provided at each winning opening so that the number of prize balls paid out differs depending on a detection signal from each detection switch. I was controlling it. Therefore, the back of the game board or the structure of the mechanism plate etc. becomes complicated and many failures occur,
Alternatively, there is a problem that special control must be performed. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems,
The purpose is to make it possible to manage the payout easily without complicating the back structure or performing special control, and it is possible to meet the player's demand that the probability of appearance in a specific mode is increased. An object is to provide a ball game machine provided with a display device.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the ball game machine according to the present invention is an arithmetic memory that causes the variable display device to be operated a plurality of times based on the output of the specific winning ball detection means provided in the specific winning port. It is configured to include means.

[Action]

When one ball hits the specific winning opening, the variable display device can be operated a plurality of times determined in advance. Therefore, 1
It has the same effect as one hitting a specific winning hole multiple times with one ball. In addition, at this time, the number of prize balls paid out by one hit ball is the same as when a prize is won in a normal winning port. Therefore, it is possible to increase the number of times of operation of the variable display device while maintaining the normal payout rate.

A predetermined DC voltage is supplied from the power supply circuit 78 to each circuit having the above configuration. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control circuit shown in FIG. Next, a specific operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, FIG. 4 (a) shows a main routine showing the entire operation of the embodiment. First, when the power is turned on, the microcomputer 53
It is determined whether or not an error has occurred in the RAM 56 (step S ₁ ), and if it is determined that there is a RAM error, initial data is set (step S ₂ ). The processing of Step S _1, because always being performed, even an error determination at program runaway of the microcomputer is performed, step
Initial data for S ₂ is set. Furthermore, and if it is not determined error in step S _1, if the initial data is set in step S _2, the various subroutines control process for controlling the game of this embodiment is performed (step S ₃ ). Then, after outputting the processed data in each subroutine (Step S _4), when the periodic reset signal waiting from the pulse frequency divider 62, there is a reset signal is again from step S ₁ described above Is repeated. Therefore, the main routine is performed once every time there is a reset signal generated from the pulse frequency dividing circuit 62. And, in general, 4m from the pulse divider 62
Since the reset signal is generated once every sec, the main routine is performed once every 4 msec. Subroutine control process in the step S ₃ is as shown in FIG. 4 (b). FIG. 4 (b) shows a subroutine control process. This subroutine control process, first, the speaker 27 and game effect lamps 23a, 23 according to the progress of the game
b, 24a, 24b, LED52 for decoration, sound / lamp to control
LED control processing is performed (step S _5), then V winning ball detector 16 receives the signal Kaisei number indicator from 12
Controlling the opening times display control processing is performed (step S _6), further, (step a winning number display control process is performed to control the winning number display 18 receives the signal from the 10 count detector 17 S _7). Then, whether the player prohibition flag or has been set or not (Step S _8). Here, the game prohibition flag or is for monitoring whether or not the 10-count detector 17 is operating normally, and the 10-count detector 17 becomes abnormal due to fraud or accident. It will be set when the That is, the game prohibition flag is set when the 10-count detector 17 does not detect one winning ball during one opening of the opening / closing door 15. In this case, it is based on the reason that it is unreasonable that there is no winning prize ball in the open state of the opening / closing door 15 for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). When the 10-count detector 17 returns to the ON state, the game prohibition flag is cleared, and the game returns to the original game state at the time of occurrence of the abnormal state. In addition, the game prohibition flag indicates that the duration of the ON state of the 10-count detector 17 due to disconnection of the 10-count detector 17 (in the case of a normally-closed switch; short-circuited in the case of a normally-open switch) or a clogged ball. It is set when a fixed time (for example, 3 seconds) is reached. This is because the winning balls pass through the 10-count detector 17 in a very short time. When the 10-count detector 17 returns to the OFF state, the game prohibition flag is cleared, and the game returns to the original game state at the time of occurrence of the abnormal state. Thus, when the game prohibition flag or at the step S ₈ is judged to have been set, the control signals from the 10 count detector 17 in step S ₁₄ by skipping the next step S ₉ to S ₁₃ Perform a 10-count detector check process. On the other hand, if the player prohibition flag or is judged to have not been set, the rotation of the rotary drum 10a to 10c, stopping, detection, and a variable display device control process for determining control is performed (Step S _9), variable solenoid control process for opening and closing control of the solenoid 34 of the door 15 of the variable winning ball device 14 based on the display mode of the display device 9 is performed (step S _10), start winning ball detector 35a~
Start winning storage display control processing in response to a signal from 35c controls the start winning storage display 13 is performed (step S _11), start winning ball detector to check the start winning ball detector 35a~35b Check processing is performed (step
S ₁₂ ), a V winning ball detector check process for checking the V winning ball detector 16 is performed (step S ₁₃ ), and thereafter,
Step S ₁₄ is adapted to performed by subroutine ends control processing. By the way, the start winning prize detector which is the main part of this embodiment
Specific process of starting winning ball detector check process in step S ₁₂ is the operation of 35a~35c is shown in Figure 4 (c). When this is explained, firstly, whether the starting winning ball detector A corresponding to the start winning ball detector 35a provided in the start winning hole 19a as the specific winning opening turned ON is determined (step S _15). When it is determined that the ON, the value of the starting winning storage counter is "4" is whether it is discriminated (step S _16), if not "4", "1" to start winning storage counter first the Are added (step S ₁₇ ). Thereafter, further the value of the starting winning storage counter is determined whether "4" (Step S _18), yet when less than "4", "1" is added further to start winning storage counter (step S ₁₉ ), and then the start winning a prize ball check process ends. That is, the value of the starting winning prize memory counter is incremented by "2" by turning on the starting prize winning ball detector A once. However, since the value of the start winning prize memory counter is the number of times the rotary drums 10a to 10c of the variable display device 9 are rotated, the number of times of variable display operation of the variable display device 9 is set to 2 by the operation of the start winning prize detector A. Become. On the other hand, start winning ball detector A in step S ₁₅
If it is determined that is not ON, the start winning opening 19b,
It is determined whether or not the starting winning ball detector B corresponding to the starting winning ball detectors 35b and 35c provided in 19c is turned on (step S1).
S ₂₀ ), if it is determined that the switch is turned on, then step S _{18 is performed.}
Proceed value of starting winning storage counter is whether "4" is determined, if less than "4", "1" is added to the starting winning storage counter proceeds to step S _19. That is, when the start prize winning ball detector B is turned on once, the value of the start prize winning memory counter is incremented by "1". Incidentally, in the step S ₁₆ and step S _18, if the value of the starting winning storage counter is already determined to be "4", and in the step S _20, the start winning ball detector B is not ON If it is determined, the start winning a prize ball detector check process is ended. As is clear from the above description, in this embodiment, when one ball is hit at the starting winning opening 19a, which is the specific winning opening, the variable display device 9 causes the variable display device 9 to perform a predetermined number of times (2
Time) Variable display operation becomes possible. For this reason, the same effect can be obtained as if the conventional starting winning award is won a plurality of times with one ball. In addition, at this time, the number of prize balls paid out by one hit ball is the same as when a prize is won in a normal winning port. Therefore, it is possible to increase the number of operations of the variable display device 9 while maintaining the normal payout rate. Although only one of the three starting winning openings is set as the specific winning opening in the above-described embodiment, all the starting winning openings 35a to 35c may be the specific winning openings, or the specific winning openings may be set as the specific winning openings. The number of operations when winning a prize may be two or more, and a different number of operations may be set for each specific winning opening. Further, the variable display device 9 in the above-described embodiment is shown to have the rotary drums 10a to 10c, but an electrically variable display device such as a 7-segment LED or a liquid crystal display (LC
D), a dot display (LED), or the like. Also, instead of variably displaying the variable display device 9 by winning the start winning holes 35a to 35c, the variable displaying device 9 is always variably displayed and stopped when the winning holes are won or started. The switch 28 may be pressed or stopped after a certain period of time. Further, when the specific game state, the operation of the variable display device 9 remains stopped, but even during the specific game state, the variable display is performed, and when the mode becomes the specific mode, Is
You may make it memorize | store and make it a specific game state again after the said specific game state is complete | finished. Next, FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment different from the above-mentioned embodiment. FIG. 5 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Explaining this, a variable winning ball device 80 is arranged in substantially the center of the game area 7 of the game board 6 (the same components as those shown in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals). The variable winning prize ball device 80 is provided with four 7-segment LEDs 81 to 84, and an opening / closing door 85 is provided below the LED. Of the four 7-segment LEDs, the central one is the variable display LED 81, the one side is the number of times of opening display 82, the other side is the winning number display LED 83, and the one in the upper center is This is the start winning number display LED 84. And the variable display LED 81 is from "0" to
The numbers (identification information) up to "9" are always variably displayed. Below the variable winning ball device 80, a specific winning opening 86
Are arranged, and the hit balls that have won the specific winning opening 86 actuate the specific winning ball detector 88. Further, on both sides of the lower part of the specific winning opening 86, starting winning openings 87a, 87b are arranged, and the hit balls winning the starting winning openings 87a, 87b actuate the starting winning ball detectors 89a, 89b. ing. The operation of the variable winning ball device 80 will be described. When a ball hit by a player falls in the game area 7 and wins a specific winning opening 86 to activate a specific winning ball detector 88, the variable winning ball device 80 is always variable. The variable display of the variable display LED 81 being displayed is stopped (in this case, the variable display LED 81 may be stopped by a predetermined time after winning or when a stop switch (not shown) is pressed). Then, when it is determined that the display mode of the stopped variable display LED 81 indicates “7”, a right generation state is set (of course, “7”).
Other identification information may be used). Then, the variable display is started again, the variable display is stopped after a predetermined time, and the display mode is determined again. Then, as a result, "7"
If it is determined that the right is displayed, the right display state is entered unless the previous display result is "7". In this way, when the specific winning opening 86 is won, the number of times the variable display LED 81 is operated once in the past (in the case of this embodiment, the number of times of stop operation) is performed twice. Even if "7" is displayed and the right is generated by the first stop operation of the variable display, the variable display LED 81 automatically starts the variable display after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). The variable display is stopped for the second time. Then, when “7” is displayed again by the second stop operation, the right generation state disappears. Then, the ball is started while the right is generated. Winning hole 87a, 87
When the start prize winning ball detectors 89a and 89b are activated after winning the b prize, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls are won until the opening / closing door 85 has passed a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). Open until Then, such an open state can be repeated a number of times (eight times) corresponding to a predetermined number (e.g., eight) of winning balls won in the starting winning openings 87a and 87b. In addition, the opening and closing door 85 starts while the opening
When a hit ball is won in 87a or 87b, for example, when the opening winning door 87a is opened for the fourth time and the winning prize for the fourth time is a winning opening 87a, the winning of the hit ball for the starting winning hole 87a is memorized. And
After closing the opening / closing door 85, the opening / closing door 85 is opened again. However, if the right generation state disappears in the middle of this repetition, or if the number of times the opening / closing door 85 has been opened is less than a predetermined number, the start-up winning openings 87a, 87b are continuously performed.
When a predetermined number of prize balls are won, the game returns to the normal game state at the time when the opening state is ended. The number of winning balls won in the starting winning opening 87a, 87b during the right generation state is displayed on the starting winning number display LED 84, and the number of times the opening / closing door 85 is opened is displayed on the opening number display LED 82. The number of winning balls won by one open state of the opening and closing door 85 is determined by the winning number display LED 8.
Displayed in 3. As is apparent from the above description, also in the second embodiment, when one hitting ball is won in the specific winning opening 86, the variable display LED 81 can be variably stopped a predetermined number of times (twice). . Therefore, there is the same effect as when the conventional specific winning a prize is won a plurality of times with one ball. In addition, at this time, the number of prize balls paid out by one hit ball is the same as when a prize is won in a normal winning port. Therefore, it is possible to increase the number of operations (the number of stop operations) of the variable display LED 81 while maintaining the normal payout rate. In the second embodiment described above, the variable display LED 8
Although 1 indicates a singular number, a plurality of variable display LEDs may be used (the opening count display LED 82 and the winning number display LED 83 may also be used), and the right generation state may be determined by the display mode of the combination. In addition, the display is always stopped, and the variable display starts when a ball is hit in the specific winning opening 86, and stops when a predetermined time elapses or when a stop switch (not shown) is pressed. May be.
In addition, once the right is generated, when the variable display LED 81 displays "7" again in the middle of the right generation, the state is stored without being extinguished, and after the predetermined game is finished, the right is re-recorded. The state of occurrence may be set. Further, in the second embodiment, the variable display LED 8 is generated even when the right is generated.
1 is variably displayed, but while the right is occurring,
The operation of the variable display LED 81 is stopped. For example, the second variable display is performed only when stopped at a display other than “7” in the first variable display, and “7” is displayed in the first variable display. In this case, the variable display for the second time may be performed after the end of the predetermined game due to the right generation. In each of the first and second embodiments, as an example of a ball game machine, a player borrows a pachinko ball and plays a game with the pachinko ball. However, for example, a magnetic card or the like is lent. It may be a ball game machine that allows a game to be played by a storage medium that stores ball data. Further, in the first embodiment as the predetermined value adding means, a variable winning ball device that operates according to a specific mode of the variable display device 9
In the second embodiment, 14 shows the variable winning ball device 80 which is activated by the hitting of the starting winning openings 87a, 87b in the right generation state generated by the specific mode of the variable display LED 81. Depending on the specific mode of the display device 9 or 81, a predetermined number of free gift balls (more free gift balls than the normal payout number) may be paid out. In this case, in a ball game machine using a storage medium, a predetermined score may be added as ball data.

【The invention's effect】

As is clear from the above description, the ball game machine according to the present invention is an arithmetic memory that causes the variable display device to operate a plurality of times based on the output of the specific winning ball detecting means provided in the specific winning port. Since the means is provided, the variable display device can be operated a predetermined number of times when one hit ball is won in the specific winning opening. For this reason, the same effect can be obtained as if a single hitting ball is used to win the conventional specific winning hole a plurality of times, and at this time, the number of prize balls paid out by one hitting ball is equal to that of the normal winning hole. It is the same as when the prize was won. Therefore, without adopting a complicated structure in which the number of prize balls to be paid out is reduced to increase the winning rate,
It is possible to increase the number of operations of the variable display device while maintaining the normal payout rate.
