Next, when the selection solenoid 42 is demagnetized, the symbol ball of the intake port 44 is carried to the position of the spherical drop port 47, the spherical drop port 47 of the intermediate substrate 45, the detection port of the first detecting means 18a, and the shelf. It falls into the ball receiving opening 50 of the sliding frame 49 through the through hole of the part 46. At this time, the player can visually see the design ball that has dropped into the ball receiving opening 50 through the window 64, and can confirm what color of the design ball has dropped. Since the selection solenoid 42 is demagnetized, the shutter member 39 returns and turns to close the sphere drop opening 38, thereby preventing another symbol ball from falling.

In the case where the symbol sphere dropped into the ball receiving opening 50 as described above is a gold symbol sphere made of a metal body, the proximity switch which is the first detecting means 18 a facing the intake 47 is provided. Sensitive and sends the detection signal to an electrical control device (not shown)

Then, the design ball that has fallen into the ball receiving opening 50 is confirmed to have entered by the second detection means 18b that is sensitive to all the design balls facing the ball receiving opening 50, and the ball has been detected for a predetermined period of time after entering. For example, after 0.5 seconds, the second
By rotating the motor 53, the sliding frame 49 is slid backward. Since the bottom plate 61 of the central display frame 21 is provided with a sphere discharge port 62, the sphere discharge port 62 communicates with the ball receiving opening 50 to discharge the design ball to the discharge gutter 66. In addition, the player can visually observe the falling of the symbol ball through the cover member 25 and the window portion 64, and can confirm what color of the symbol ball has been selected by the player.

The symbol ball discharged to the discharge gutter 66 is
6 rolls and stops at launch position 68 '. When the launch confirmation switch 71 detects that the symbol ball has moved into the launch position 68 ', the launch solenoid 70 is excited for a predetermined time to launch the symbol ball. In this embodiment, the sphere 29 is stabilized at the launch position 68 'before the sphere 2

After the solenoid 70 has been demagnetized, a check flag is set to the control device for one second after the solenoid 70 is demagnetized, and the detection signal of the launch confirmation switch 71 is waited in order to make sure that the flow returns to the inside and the launch gutter 67 does not return. That is, if the launch confirmation switch 71 is not turned on again within one second, it is considered that the launched sphere 29 has returned to the case portion 15 without fail. In addition, a detector may be separately faced in the middle of the sphere inlet 72 or the launch gutter 67 of the case 15 to confirm that the symbol ball has returned to the case 15.

As described above, when the design ball enclosed in the case portion 15 is circulated and the circulating design ball is visually observed by a player, there is no conventional example in which the design ball is a kind of display means. A display device can be configured. According to such a display device, a display having a three-dimensional movement such as rotation, dropping, and sliding backward can be performed. In addition, the act of selecting a design ball of one color from design balls of different colors, rather than simply stopping the display that fluctuates as in the conventional display device, reflects the player's intention more clearly in the game. It is possible to play pachinko games that are interesting.

Is a stop command signal generating means. When a player touches the variable time reduction switch 9, the change signal is detected by the touch circuit 98 and a stop command signal for stopping the variable display of the electric variable display 78. Is generated. When the player does not touch the fluctuation time reduction switch 9, the CPU 81 automatically generates a stop command signal after a predetermined time has elapsed.

CPU 81, PROM 86, input / output control device 87, LED decoder circuit 88, LED drive circuit 89, LED display digit selection circuit 93, and LED connection circuit 90
Constitutes display variable / stop control means. Also, the LED color selection circuit 94 and the red LED drive circuit 9
5 and the green LED drive circuit 96 constitute emission color control means.

That is, the LED decoder circuit 88 is connected to the CPU 8
In response to a 4-bit display signal (a signal designating which symbol is to be displayed) output from 1 every single time, the display signal is converted to a decoder signal corresponding to each segment (whether or not each segment is lit). ) And outputs this to the LED drive circuit 89. LE
In response to the decoder signal, the D drive circuit 89 performs current amplification or the like enough for each segment to light up, and
This is supplied to the ED connection circuit 90. Further, the luminescent color control means receives a luminescent color designation signal output from the CPU 81 at a constant cycle, and causes the red LED and the green LED to emit light alternately. The LED display digit selection circuit 93 receives a display digit selection signal output from the CPU 81 at a constant cycle, and, based on the signal, selects a decoder signal from the LED drive circuit 89 from the display member 80 for a predetermined single time. Outputs a signal for selecting and selecting each time. The LED display duty switching circuit 91 receives the output from the LED display light / dark switching circuit 92 and switches the brightness of the segment by switching the output time ratio (duty) of the selected output for each digit. The display signal and the display digit selection signal are always output from the CPU 81.

That is, a predetermined brightness (low brightness mode) is always set to 0 to 9 except when the pachinko machine is stopped, which will be described later.
And the character H are sequentially and variably displayed in red and green alternately. Therefore, until the starting ball detection switch 103 is closed, the variable display is performed on each of the display members 80 at a darkness with a certain degree of afterimage effect. For example, conversion is performed in 25 msec, such as 0 for red, 0 for green, 1 for red, 1 for green, 2 for red, .... And starting port 10
When the starting ball detection switch 103 is closed and the starting ball detection switch 103 is closed, the brightness of the variable display on the display member 80 is switched to be bright (high brightness mode).

The CPU 81 receives a stop command signal,
Alternatively, the display signal and the display digit selection signal have a function of holding the display signal and the display digit selection signal at that time or the state at the time when the predetermined time has elapsed for a predetermined time after the predetermined time set in the timer has elapsed after the switching of the light / dark degree. The variable display of 80 is stopped for a certain time. And after a certain time,
The CPU 81 outputs a drive signal of the selection solenoid 42,
The selection solenoid 42 is excited to swing the shutter member 39 to drop the symbol ball into the ball receiving opening 50. The second motor 53 is rotated to slide the sliding frame 49 backward.

More specifically, when a hit ball enters the starting port 10, the starting ball detection switch 103 is turned on, the left and right display members 80 start to fluctuate brightly, and the starting ball detection switch 103 is turned on. After the elapse of a random time of 5 seconds or more and less than 5.5 seconds, the left symbol first stops brightly, and after the left symbol stops, after the elapse of a random time of 0.5 seconds or more and less than 1 second, the right symbol stops. After the stop of the right symbol, after the elapse of a random time of less than 2 seconds, the selection solenoid 42 is excited for 0.5 seconds to drop the symbol ball from the turntable 28 to the ball receiving opening 50. Note that the random time is determined by the CPU 81 generating a random number. Therefore, in each of the display frames 21, 22, and 23, each symbol including the symbol sphere, that is, a sphere colored in each color such as 0 to 9 and H in red and green uniformly appears.

The CPU 81 and the PROM 86 also function as determining means, and the identification information and the ball receiving opening 50 displayed when the variable display of the display member 80 is stopped.
It is determined whether or not the design ball which has fallen on, that is, the design ball facing the window portion 64 has specific identification information, and outputs a drive signal to the solenoid drive circuit 99 when it is determined that the design ball has the specific identification information. That is, the determination result is displayed to the solenoid drive circuit 99 based on the presence or absence of a drive signal. For example, the CPU 81 determines a combination 0.5 seconds after the symbol ball falls, and determines that the left and right display frames 22 and 23 display the same symbol in the same color and that the first detection means 18a sends a detection signal. When the display is set as a specific identification state (so-called big hit), when the variable display of each display member 80 is stopped, a red “3” is displayed on the left display frame 22 and a red “3” is displayed on the right display frame 23. 3 "
If the golden symbol ball approaches the window 64 of the central display frame 20, the determination means determines that the hit is "big hit" and outputs a drive signal to the solenoid drive circuit 99.

The CPU 81 also operates the electronic sound circuit 10 again.
4 is operated to generate a jackpot sound effect, and the lamp drive circuit 105 is operated to turn on or blink the display lamp 65 or the like composed of the lamp group 106, thereby visually indicating the achievement of the jackpot and hearing. It is also displayed. On the other hand, if the left and right symbols are different and a symbol ball of a color other than gold faces the window 64, the determination means determines that the ball is so-called "missing" and does not send out a drive signal. In the present embodiment,
The left and right patterns are the same in the same color, the case where the design ball is a color other than gold is a medium hit, and the case where the design ball is gold and the left and right designs are a combination other than the big hit is a small hit,
A sound effect different from the big hit is generated, and a drive signal is output to the solenoid drive circuit 99 for a predetermined time.

When the solenoid drive circuit 99 receives a drive signal from the CPU 81, it excites the drive solenoid SOL1, whereby the ball receiving member 75 rotates and the variable winning device 13 opens the second winning opening 73. Converted to state. The drive signal is continuously output for a predetermined time according to the big hit, the middle hit, and the small hit, and the second state of the variable winning device 13 is continued for the predetermined time.
