Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention starts an auxiliary game by an auxiliary game forming unit based on a prize of a game ball to a start winning unit, and the auxiliary game result is a predetermined result. The present invention relates to a ball-and-ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine in which a main variable winning device is converted into a state advantageous to a player in a predetermined manner based on the fact that the game has been completed.

[Related Art] Conventionally, an auxiliary game (variable display game) is performed by an auxiliary game forming means (for example, a variable display device) based on a winning of a game ball to a starting winning means, and the auxiliary game result is a predetermined result. (For example, when the variable display device becomes a display result mode such as "7, 7, 7" or the like), the main variable winning device is converted to a state advantageous to the player (for example, an open state). There has been known a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine which generates a special game state.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since the above-mentioned conventional starting winning means is constituted by a pocket-type winning part and a through-chucker-type passing part, the winning probability of the starting winning means is always constant. For this reason, the generation (starting) frequency of the auxiliary game performed by the auxiliary game forming means does not change and the interest in the game tends to be lost.

Therefore, on the game store side, the starting frequency of the auxiliary game by the auxiliary game forming means such as the variable display device is increased so that the player can play the game with increased expectation that the special game state occurs. There was a case where the nail adjustment around the starting winning means was performed.

However, once the starting frequency is set to be increased by the nail adjustment, the starting frequency of the pachinko gaming machine is fixed in the increased state, and there is a risk that the gaming shop may be disadvantageous.

On the other hand, it is necessary for pachinko parlors to provide pachinko machines with less starting frequency and nail adjustment in order to balance profits with players. There was a fear that it would fall.

In addition, when the starting frequency is set by nail adjustment, some skilled players can recognize the degree of adjustment, so that such a player is in an unequal state in which only such a player gains profit. There was also a problem.

As described above, in a game store, it is very difficult to increase the start frequency of the auxiliary game formation means while balancing the profit between the player and the game store and further giving equal game opportunities to all players. There was a problem that was.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and has a structure in which the starting frequency of the auxiliary game can be changed without being fixed, and sometimes the starting frequency is increased to increase the interest in the game. An object of the present invention is to provide a ball-and-ball game machine that can be used.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a game board (1) provided with a game area (2) provided with start winning means (for example, start winning devices 3, 3). And an auxiliary game forming means (for example, the variable display device 20) capable of performing an auxiliary game, and a main variable prize device (for example, a variable prize) capable of converting between a disadvantageous state for the player and an advantageous state for the player. Device 50) is arranged, and the auxiliary game by the auxiliary game forming means is started based on the winning of the game ball to the starting winning means,
Based on that the auxiliary game result is a predetermined result,
Control means for converting the main variable prize device to a state advantageous to the player in a predetermined manner (for example, an accessory control device:
In a ball-and-ball game machine (for example, a pachinko game machine) having a microcomputer 800, ROM801, RAM802, etc., the pre-start winning means includes: a mounting base (for example, a mounting plate 335) mounted on the gaming board; An inflow port (for example, a prize opening 331) opened at a predetermined portion of the mounting base, an electric drive source (for example, a solenoid 350), and a prize state of the game ball to the inflow port is changed to a normal prize state. A movable member (31, 31) that can be converted into a normal state and an open state that is easier to win than the normal state based on the action of the electric drive source. Equipment 3,
3) wherein the control means is configured to electrically convert and control the movable member to the open state by the electric drive source for a predetermined time based on establishment of a predetermined game condition. Control means (eg, accessory device: microcomputer
800, ROM801, RAM802, etc.), and the auxiliary variable winning device control means converts the movable member of the auxiliary variable winning device to the open state, thereby increasing the frequency of starting the auxiliary game by the auxiliary game forming means. It was configured as follows.

[Operation] According to the invention of claim 1, the starting winning means for starting the auxiliary game by the auxiliary game forming means based on the winning of the game ball is constituted by the auxiliary variable winning device having the movable member. By the conversion to the state or the open state, the winning state of the game ball to the start winning means (auxiliary variable winning device) changes, and accordingly, the starting frequency of the auxiliary game changes variously,
Interest in the game will be improved.

In addition, the auxiliary variable winning device control means converts the movable member of the auxiliary variable winning device for a predetermined time based on the establishment of a predetermined game condition, thereby increasing the starting frequency of the auxiliary game. During the predetermined time when the movable member of the variable winning device is changed from the normal state to the open state in which the game ball is more likely to win, the number of times of starting the auxiliary game is largely secured. It is possible to increase the expectation of occurrence of a special game state which is converted into a state advantageous to the player.

The pachinko gaming machine on which the gaming board 1 constructed as above is installed is generally controlled as follows by an accessory control device such as a microcomputer installed thereon.

In an initial state in which the power of the pachinko gaming machine is turned on by operating a power switch (not shown), the decoration display lamp 282 of the variable display device 20 blinks so as to flow, and the unprocessed number display 241 displays “0”. State, and the variable display portions 242a to 242c, 243a of the first and second variable display devices 242, 243
243c is in a state where random numbers are displayed and stopped. In addition, the opening and closing door 513 and the left and right guide members 514, 514 of the variable winning device 50 are closed, and the movable pieces 31, 31 of the left and right starting winning devices 3, 3 are each closed so that they can flow in by one ball. The display of these movable indicators 38, 38 is in a state where the numbers "1" to "3" are constantly changing.

In such a state, a game ball is launched into the game area 2 by a hit ball launching device (not shown), and when the game ball wins the start winning device 3, the start winning device 3 Start winning prize detector 3a installed in the internal flow path
(SW ₁ ) is detected. In this embodiment, the starting winning device 3
Even if the game ball wins, the movable members 31, 31 do not open. Then, based on the detection signal, an auxiliary game in which the change of the display of the movable display 38 of the starting winning device 3 is temporarily stopped is performed. Then, each time the stop number display of the variable display 38 as an auxiliary game result appears, the number is displayed in a state where the number is added to the unprocessed number display 241 of the variable display device 20.

When the number of the unprocessed number display 241 becomes "1" or more, the three variable display units 242a to 242a of the variable display units 242 and 243 on the side where the variable display game (the main game) is completed. After the display of 242c (or 243a to 243c) is changed for a predetermined time (or when a stop button (not shown) is pressed), a variable display game (main game) in which the display is stopped is performed. Each time the variable display game (this game) is performed, the unprocessed number display of the unprocessed number display 241 is subtracted and displayed by “1”, and the display becomes “0”.
Until the variable display 242 or 243 is executed, the variable display game (the main game) is repeatedly performed.

As a result of these variable display games, any of the variable display units 242a to 242c or 243a to 243c
Is accidentally displayed in a specific display mode (in this embodiment,
When it becomes "1,1,1", "2,2,2", etc.), a special game right called a big hit is generated, and the special game is performed based on the right.

Here, the special game is a game mode in which the player has a chance to obtain many prize balls. For example, the opening / closing door 513 and the guide members 514, 514 are opened for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) (solid line in FIG. 1). ) For one cycle (however, before the predetermined time elapses),
The game ball wins during 1 and the winning number detector 562 (SW
₃ ) When it is detected and counted 10 times until that point), during each cycle, the large winning opening 51 of the variable winning device 50 is set.
1 flows into the center of the continuous winning detector 531 (S
The detection at W ₂ ) is performed as a continuation condition (cycle update condition), for example, continuously for up to nine cycles.

During this special game, a speaker (not shown in the figure) emits an electronic sound notifying the occurrence. At the same time, blinking of a special game state display lamp (described later) of the variable display device 20 and the movable winning device 50 is started.

During each cycle of this special game, the number of game balls winning in the special winning opening 511 is displayed by lighting or blinking of a winning number display lamp 515 installed on the front left side of the variable winning device 50, and during the special game cycle. The number of continuations is variable.
It is displayed by the lighting or blinking of the continuation number display lamp 516 installed on the right side of the front of the display. Further, during each cycle, when the continuation condition of the special game cycle is satisfied, a continuation condition satisfaction display lamp (described later) of the variable winning device 50 is turned on, and is turned off when the next new cycle is started.

During the special game, the auxiliary game based on the variable display 38 based on the winning in the starting winning device 3 and the variable display game (the main game) based on the variable display 242 and 243 based on the result of the auxiliary game are the same as in the normal game. When the special game right is newly generated, the number of times is stored, and after the special game ends, the special game corresponding to the stored number of times is performed.

In particular, during the wait time when the opening / closing door 513 and the guide portions 514, 514 are closed before the start of each cycle of the special game, the movable members 31, 31 of the left and right operation winning devices 3, 3 are opened and the game balls easily flow into them. As a result, the frequency in which the auxiliary game using the variable display 38 and the variable display game (the main game) using the variable displays 242 and 243 are performed can be increased.

In addition, during this special game, particularly, the left and right guide members 514, 514 of the variable winning device 50 are opened, and the game balls easily enter the right and left starting winning devices 3, 3 by their inclined portions, so that the variable The more frequently the display game is performed, the higher the possibility that the special game will be continuously generated.

An example of a procedure of a game process from the normal game state performed by 0 to the generation of a special game right is shown.

First, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine is turned on, the displays of the variable display units 242a to 242c and 243a to 243c of the variable display devices 242 and 243 are displayed in a stopped display state in which random numbers appear, and the numbers of the variable indicators 38 and 38 are displayed. While the display is constantly changing (changes from "1" to "3"), the unprocessed count storage counter, variable display timers A and B, big hit storage counter, wait timer, big hit timer, cycle timer (continuous After performing initialization such as resetting the number-of-times counter, the continuation flag, the release timer, and the winning number counter, the process proceeds to the routine R4.

In the routine R4, it is determined whether or not the big hit storage counter is larger than "0" (some big hits are not processed due to a big hit), and it is not larger than "0" ( If there is no big hit and there is no unprocessed), the routine directly proceeds to the routine R8,
When it is determined that the value is larger than "0" (a large hit has occurred and there is an unprocessed one), the routine R6
, And then proceeds to routine R8. However, since the big hit storage counter is reset to “0” in the first cycle, the process always proceeds to the routine R8 as it is.

Then, in the routine R8, the unprocessed number counter value is displayed as the unprocessed number on the unprocessed number display 241 (in this embodiment, the number of “0” to “9” is displayed in 7 segments,
"F" of Full is displayed for "10" or more) and then R1
Move to 0.

In routine R10, to start winning port 3 winning game ball is determined whether the start winning detector 3a (SW ₁₎ is turned on, the process proceeds to the routine R18 when it is determined that did not turned on When it is determined that the variable display is turned on, the variable display of the variable display 38 is stopped in routines R12 to R16,
After the stop display is read, the read number is added to the unprocessed number storage counter, and the like, the process proceeds to the routine R20.

In the routine R18, it is determined whether or not the unprocessed number counter is larger than "0".
The flow shifts to R34, and if it is determined that the value is larger than "0", the flow shifts to routine R20. However, in the first cycle, since the unprocessed number storage counter is reset to “0”, the process always proceeds to the routine R34.

In the routine R20, it is determined whether or not the first variable display timer A is operating (while the variable display game (the main game) is being performed by the first variable display 242). And, as a result, during operation (the first variable display
When it is determined that it is not during the variable display game (this game) by 242), the routines R24, R26,
After the variable display of the first variable display 242 is started, the first variable display timer A is started, and the unprocessed number counter is counted down to "1" in R32, the routine R34 is performed.
Move to On the other hand, during operation (while the variable display game (the main game) is being played by the first variable display 242)
When it is determined that is satisfied, the process proceeds to the routine R22.

In the routine R22, it is determined whether or not the second variable display timer B is operating (while the variable display game (the main game) is being performed by the second variable display 243). And, as a result, during operation (the second variable indicator)
When it is determined that the current game is not being performed by the variable display game (this game) by 243, the routines R28, R30,
After the variable display of the second variable display 243 is started at R32, the second variable display timer B is started, and the unprocessed number counter is counted down by "1", the routine goes to a routine R34. On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation is being performed (during the execution of the variable display game (the main game) by the second variable display 243), the process proceeds to the routine R34.

In the routine R34, it is determined whether or not the first variable display timer A has expired. If it is determined that the first variable display timer A has not expired, the process proceeds to the routine R36, and if it is determined that the first variable display timer A has ended, the process proceeds to the routine R42.

In the routine R36, it is determined whether or not the stop switch (SW ₄ ) is turned on. When it is determined that the stop switch (SW ₄ ) is not turned on, the process proceeds to the routine R38, and when it is determined that the stop switch (SW ₄ ) is turned on, the process proceeds to the routine R42.

In the routine R38, it is determined whether or not the second variable display timer B has expired. If it is determined that the second variable display timer B has not expired, the process proceeds to the routine R40, and if it is determined that the second variable display timer B has ended, the process proceeds to the routine R48.

Stop switch (SW ₄₎ it is determined whether or not been turned on in the routine R40, returns to the routine R4 when it is determined that it is not turned on, the process proceeds to the routine R48 when it is determined that the ON.

On the other hand, when it is determined in the routine R34 that the first variable display timer A has expired, or when it is determined in the routine R36 that the stop switch (SW ₄ ) has been turned on and the process proceeds to the routine R42, the routine R42 is executed. First variable display 2
After stopping the variable display of 42, the routine shifts to the routine R44. Then, in the routine R44, it is determined whether or not the stop displays A, B, C of the variable display portions 242a to 242c of the first variable display 242 are "A = B = C", and "A = B = C" If it is determined that "C" has not been reached, the routine directly returns to routine R4,
When it is determined that “A = B = C”, the big hit storage counter “1” is counted up in the routine R46, and then the process returns to the routine R4.

On the other hand, when it is determined in the above routine R38 that the second variable display timer B has expired, or when it is determined in the routine R40 that the stop switch (SW ₄ ) has been turned on and the process proceeds to the routine R48, the routine R48 is executed. Second variable display 2
After the variable display of 43 is stopped, the process proceeds to the routine R50. Then, in the routine R50, it is determined whether or not the stop indications D, E, F of the variable display portions 243a to 243c of the second variable display 243 are "D = E = F". F ", it returns to the routine R4 as it is,
When it is determined that "D = E = F", the big hit storage counter is incremented by "1" in the routine R52, and the routine returns to the routine R4.

FIG. 13 shows the control chip microcomputer 80
An example of a control processing procedure of the big hit processing (special game processing) performed by 0 is shown.

When the special game processing is started, first, in the routine R100, the generation of a sound effect from the speaker 811 is started, and in the next routine R102, the big hit display lamps 247, 361, 538 are blinked, and the decorative display lamps 246, 282 are displayed for the special game. After a special game display such as conversion is started, the routine shifts to a routine R104.

In the routine R104, it is determined whether or not the wait timer is operating. When it is determined that the wait timer is not operating, the process proceeds to the routine R106. When it is determined that the wait timer is operating, the solenoid 350 of the starting winning device 3 is turned on in the routine R110. Turn on and shift to routine R112. However, since the wait timer is in the reset state in the first cycle, the process always proceeds to the routine R106.

In the routine R106, it is determined whether or not the jackpot timer is in operation. If it is determined that the jackpot is not in operation, the wait timer (two-second timer) is started in the routine R108, and the start winning device 3 is started in the next routine R110. When the solenoid 350 is turned on and the routine proceeds to the routine R112, when it is determined that the solenoid 350 is operating, the variable winning device is determined in the routine R126.
Turn on 50 solenoids 542 and 544, then R128
Move to In the first cycle, the jackpot timer is not operating, so the process always goes to the routine R112 via the routines R108 and R110.

In the routine R112, it is determined whether or not the wait timer has expired. After performing processes such as turning on, resetting the wait timer, starting the big hit timer, turning on the solenoids 542 and 544 of the variable winning device 50, the routine goes to the routine R128.

As a result, when the routine shifts to the routine R114, it is determined whether or not the opening timer of the starting winning device 3 has expired in the routine R114. Then, the routine turns off the solenoid 350 of the starting winning device 3 and resets the opening timer of the starting winning device 3 in routines R116 and R118, and then proceeds to routine R150.

On the other hand, when the routine R106 goes through the routines R120 to R126, or when the routine R112 goes through the routine R126 to reach the routine R128, whether or not the continuous winning detector 531 (SW ₂ ) is turned on in the routine R128. When it is determined that the switch is not turned on, the routine R1
When the routine proceeds to step 42 and it is determined that the
Move to R130.

As a result, when the routine shifts to the routine R30, it is determined whether or not the cycle counter (continuation number counter) has become “9” in the routine R130, and when it is determined that the cycle counter has not become “9”, the routine shifts to the routine R132. ,
When it is determined that the value has become “9”, the flow shifts to routine R138.

In the routine R132, it is determined whether or not the continuation flag is "1" (set for continuation is already performed), and if not, the flag is not "1" (set for continuation is still performed). Not determined) routine
After the continuation flag is set and the continuation condition satisfaction display lamp 538A is turned on in R134 and R136, the routine goes to the routine R138.

Then, in the routine R138, the solenoid of the starting winning device 3
After turning on 350, and starting the opening timer of the starting winning device 3 in the next routine R140, the process proceeds to the routine R142.

In the routine R142, it is determined whether or not the winning number detector 562 (SW ₃ ) is turned on. When it is determined that the winning number detector 562 (SW ₃ ) is not turned on, the winning number counter is set to “+” in the routine R144.
1) Count up and turn on or flash the winning number display lamp 515 in the next routine R146 to display the winning number counter value as a lamp, and then proceed to routine R148.

In the routine R148, it is determined whether or not the count value of the winning number counter has reached “10”. If it is determined that the count value has not reached “10”, the process proceeds to the routine R150, and “10”
When it is determined that has become, the routine shifts to the routine R152.

As a result, when the routine shifts to the routine R150, it is determined whether or not the big hit timer has ended in the routine R150. If it is determined that the timer has not ended, the process returns to the routine R4 of FIG. R152
Move to

In the routine R152, it is determined whether or not the continuation flag is “1” (the continuation condition is satisfied).
When it is determined that the value is "1" (the continuation condition is satisfied), the cycle counter (continuation number counter) is incremented by "+1" in the routines R154 to R158, and the cycle counter value is displayed on the continuation number display lamp 516. After performing processes such as lamp display and resetting of the continuation flag, the process proceeds to the routine R164, and when it is determined that the value is not "1" (the continuation condition is not satisfied), the routines R160 and R16 are performed.
At 2, the big hit storage counter "1" counts down, the cycle counter (continuation counter) is reset, and the like, and the routine proceeds to routine R164.

When the routine shifts to the routine R164 in this way, the routine R164 resets the big hit timer and the winning number counter, turns off the solenoids 542 and 544 of the variable winning device 50, and returns to the routine R4 in FIG.

FIG. 14 shows a timing chart of various operating units during a game.

At the time of the game (including both the normal game and the special game)
When a game ball wins in the starting prize device 3 and is detected by the starting prize detector 3a (SW ₁ ), a variable display 38 as an auxiliary game means is provided at each falling edge by a falling edge of the detection signal. The auxiliary game in which the change of the display of is temporarily stopped is performed.

When the stop display (number) as a result of the auxiliary game initially becomes, for example, “1”, the first variable display 242 as the present game means simultaneously stops the change of the display.
(A game stopped after a change in display for 6 seconds) is started. In this case, the number of rights of the main game processing generated by the auxiliary game is one, and once the main game is started based on the right, the number of unprocessed main games (remaining number) is reduced. Since it is “0”, the display of the unprocessed number display 241 is maintained at the “0” display state.

When a variable display game is being played on the first variable display 242, a game ball wins in the start winning device 3;
When the stop display as the result of the auxiliary game by the variable display 38 based on the winning is, for example, “3”,
At the same time as the change of the display is stopped, the variable display game of the second variable display 243 as the game means (a game stopped after the change of the display for 6 seconds) is started. In this case, the number of times of the main game process generated by the auxiliary game is three, and once the main game is started immediately based on the right, the number of unprocessed (remaining times) of the main game is “2”. ”, The display of the unprocessed number display is“ 2 ”.

Then, after that, when the variable display game using the first variable display 242 that has been performed before ends and the stop display becomes, for example, “5, 2, 3” (a combination of numbers other than the double-digit number), “ After an interval of 0.5 seconds as “out of play”, the variable display game using the first variable display 242 is started again based on the unprocessed right of the game processing. At the same time as the start, the unprocessed number display 241
Is reduced by "1" and is displayed as "1".

Then, after that, when the variable display game using the second variable display 243 that has been in operation is completed and the stop display becomes, for example, “7, 7, 7” (double-eye), it is determined that a big hit has occurred. Then, the count number of the big hit storage counter is set to “1”, and the variable display game by the second variable display 243 is started again based on the unprocessed right of the game processing. At the same time as the start,
The unprocessed number display of 1 is reduced by “1” and displayed as “0”.

Thus, at the time of a game, when a game ball wins in the starting winning device 3 and is detected by the starting winning detector 3a (SW ₁ ), an auxiliary game is performed by the variable display 241 for each detection. . Then, the variable display game by the first and second variable indicators 242 and 243 is performed by the number of times of the right of the main game process generated as a result of the auxiliary game, while the right of the unprocessed right of the main game process is executed. The count is displayed on the unprocessed count display 241.

When a big hit occurs, a special game is played by the variable winning device 50 after a certain preparation period (2 seconds).

The special game played here is, for example, a variable winning device.
Open / close door 5 by turning on 50 solenoids 542 and 544
13 and the guide members 514, 514 are opened for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) (in the meantime, the winning number detector 562 (S
If there are 10 winnings detected by W ₃ ), the cycle up to that point is regarded as one cycle, and during each cycle the continuous winnings detector
Up to nine cycles are performed on the condition that the detection by 531 (SW ₂ ) is continued. There is a two second wait time between each cycle.

During each cycle of this special game, the continuous winning detector 531 (S
When there is a detection signal according to W ₂ ), the solenoid 350 of the starting winning device 3 is excited at the falling edge of the detection signal, and the movable members 31, 31 are opened for 2 seconds. Also during the wait time of each cycle of the special game, the solenoid 350 of the starting winning device 3 is excited and the movable members 31, 31 are opened for two seconds.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment includes a variable display 38 for performing a variable display game as an auxiliary game for determining the number of times of processing of the present game based on a winning in the start winning device 3, and the auxiliary game The variable display devices 242 and 243 are provided as the main game means for performing the game for generating the special game by the number of times of processing determined by the result of the above. As described above, there is a possibility that the present game will be played, and as a result, the number of times of challenge of the variable display game is ensured, and the profit between the player and the game store can be balanced. In addition, it is possible to increase the sense of expectation of the player for winning in the starting winning device 3.

Also during the special game, the variable display 38 as the auxiliary game means and the variable display 242 as the main game means,
Since the display game according to 243 is performed, it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the successive occurrence of big hits (the right to a special game), and to speed up the progress of the game to increase the thrill.

Further, when the opening / closing door 513 of the variable winning device 50 is opened, the guide members 514 on both sides thereof are opened, and the leading end thereof guides the game ball toward the starting winning device 3, so during the special game, In particular, the probability of winning in the start winning device 3 increases, and the sense of expectation for the consecutive occurrence (double or triple) of the right for a special game increases. For a while after the end of the special game, there are still many unprocessed rights of the game processing generated as a result of the auxiliary game performed by winning the starting prize winning device 3, and the unprocessed There is a sense of security that will be done.

In addition, since the start winning device 3 different from the variable winning device 50 is opened during the wait time associated with the start of each cycle of the special game, even if the variable winning device 50 is closed, the prize ball is opened. The number of winning balls can be increased without interfering with the processing of.

In the above description, the start winning device 3 as a start winning unit is shown using a tulip type, but may be of any type such as a pocket type or a pass type. Also, a variable display 24 as the game means is provided.
Although 2,243 has two stages, any number of stages such as one stage, three stages or more may be used, and the variable display portions 242a to 242c, 1243a
The number and display contents of 表示 243c can be arbitrarily determined.

The auxiliary game means is not limited to the above-described seven-segment variable display, but may be of any type, such as one that performs variable display by rotating a drum. Any format may be used as long as the game means determines the number of times of processing of the game based on the game.

Further, the game means is not limited to the above-described seven-segment type variable display, but may be any type such as a type that performs variable display by rotating a drum. Any type of game, such as one that rotates the drum and performs variable display, may be used as long as it plays a game that generates a big hit (right for a special game) based on the game.

In addition, the variable winning device 50 can be converted as a special game based on the right of the special game generated as a result of the present game by the present game means so as to give the player more chances to obtain a prize ball than in the normal game. Any form may be used.

In the above embodiment, the auxiliary variable display device (variable display 38)
Is provided integrally with the auxiliary variable prize device (start-up prize device 3), but is not limited thereto, and may be provided anywhere in the game area separately from the auxiliary variable prize device. Also,
The condition (predetermined game condition) at which the auxiliary variable winning device is converted into a state advantageous to the player may be associated with the stop result mode of the auxiliary variable display device. The auxiliary variable display device is always operated in the above embodiment and is temporarily stopped based on a winning in the start winning section 3. For example, a game ball wins in a specific winning opening or the like. Alternatively, the operation may be started based on passing, and stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed. Further, the auxiliary game forming means is not limited to the variable display device for performing the variable display game. For example, a so-called second-type pachinko gaming machine is provided with opening and closing members on the left and right and has a continuous winning opening and a general winning opening inside. A variable prize device that performs an auxiliary game in which the left and right opening and closing members are opened or closed once or twice based on a prize in the provided start prize section, and performs a special game based on a game ball being won in a continuous winning opening during that time. Any form may be used as long as an auxiliary game is performed based on a winning in the start winning section and a special game is generated as a result.

[Effect of the Invention] According to the invention of claim 1, since the starting prize winning means for causing the auxiliary game forming means to perform the auxiliary game based on the prize of the game is constituted by the auxiliary variable prize winning device having the movable member, By the conversion to the normal state or the open state, the winning state of the game ball to the start winning means (auxiliary variable winning device) changes, and accordingly, the starting frequency of the auxiliary game is not fixed but changes variously. Therefore, interest in the game is improved.

The auxiliary variable prize device control means converts the movable member of the auxiliary variable prize device for a predetermined period of time based on the establishment of a predetermined game condition, so that the starting frequency of the auxiliary game is reduced to the extent that the game store is not disadvantageous. During the predetermined time period in which the movable member of the auxiliary variable winning device is changed from the normal state to the open state in which the game balls are more likely to win, the starting frequency of the auxiliary game is secured more.
