The storage number counting means 1625 determines that one variable display game is completed each time a signal (regardless of hit or miss) indicating the determination result is input, and stores the value stored at that time to one. Subtraction is performed to obtain a new stored value.

On the other hand, when the signal from the determination means 1624 indicates a hit, the auxiliary variable winning device control means 1601 drives the movable members 51, 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device in the opening direction (the winning opening 6).
Is opened), an H-level drive signal for exciting (ON) the solenoid D is output. The drive signal is inverted from the H level to the L level after a predetermined time has elapsed, and the winning opening 6 of the auxiliary variable winning device is closed again.

When the game ball wins the winning opening 6 when the winning opening 6 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is opened, an ON signal is output from the opening / closing condition switch SW2 installed in the winning opening, and this signal is received. The opening / closing door driving means 1605 is a doll clothes opening / closing door 130.
A drive signal for rotating the opening / closing motor 172 in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 7 to open the motor is output to the motor 172 (the subsequent control is performed by the first operation control unit 1600I). Whether or not the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is completely opened is determined by the motor switch MSW2.When the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is completely opened, an ON signal is output from the motor switch MSW2, and the opening / closing door driving means 1605 receiving this signal opens and closes. The operation of the motor 172 is stopped.

In the state where the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened by the above procedure, when a game ball wins in the starting winning opening 8, 8, the fact is transmitted to the opening / closing door driving means 1605 by an output signal from the starting winning control means 1602. . The opening / closing door driving means 1605 determines when a predetermined time has elapsed from the time when this signal was input (the driving wing pieces 101, 101 are opened by winning the starting winning openings 8, 8, and in this state, the gaming balls that have won the variable winning device 10). V zone 10
At the time when a sufficient time to reach 3 has elapsed), a drive signal for rotating the opening / closing motor 172 in the clockwise direction in FIG. 7 is output to the motor 172 in order to close the doll clothes opening / closing door 130. Whether or not the doll clothes door 130 is completely closed is determined by the motor switch MSW1, and when completely closed, an ON signal is output from the motor switch MSW1,
Upon receiving this signal, the opening / closing door driving unit 1605 operates the opening / closing motor 172.
Stop the operation of. As described above, when the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened, the gaming balls flowing into the winning space 102 of the variable winning device easily enter the special winning opening 103 as described above, and there is a possibility that a big hit may occur. Enhanced.

Next, the operation control of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention performed by the CPU 610 of the above accessory control device will be described in the 24th.
This will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

FIG. 24 shows a main routine for controlling various operating devices such as the variable winning device 10, the auxiliary variable winning device 50, and the decorative lamp / LED of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the gaming state.

This main routine is a process that is started in synchronization with the generation of a hard reset signal every time a predetermined time elapses.
The processing by U610 is stopped (HALT).

When the reset signal is generated and this routine is started, first, in step S2, it is determined whether or not the current loop is a loop immediately after power-on. The result of this determination is “Ye
In the case of s ", an initialization process in steps S8 to S16 described below is executed.

On the other hand, when the determination result is “No”, it is determined in steps S4 and S6 whether the main check data 1 and 2 are normal. The determination in steps S4 and S6 is a process for confirming in advance the storage contents of the RAM 614 so that the program is not executed while the data is destroyed due to noise or the like and the program runs away. The main check data 1 and 2 used for the determination are set at the end of the main routine (at steps S56 and S58 described later).

Therefore, when the determination result of any of these steps S4 and S6 is "No", the stored value of the RAM 614 at this time is cleared in steps S8 to S16 (step S8), and RA

After performing 2), the random number table selected by the random number setting switch SW6 is set (step S1).
6) End this routine.

On the other hand, when the result of the determination in step S2 is "No" and the results of the determination in steps S4 and S6 are both "Yes", the processing after step S18 is performed.

First, in step S18, all the main check data 1 and 2 in the RAM 614 used for the determination in steps S4 and S6 are cleared, and in step S20 various switches (SW1 to SW5, MSW1, MSW2) set on the game board 3 are cleared. ) Is read, and then fraud detection processing (INJUSTICE) is performed (step S22).

This fraud detection process is a process for determining whether or not the switches SW4A and SW4B are functioning normally based on the output signals of the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B installed in the variable winning device 10. This is performed according to the flow shown in FIG.

When the illegal processing is completed, the output processing (SOUND) of the sound effect according to the game state is performed in the following step S24, and the output processing (OUTPUT) for actually outputting the command signal to various control devices in step S26. Is performed. This output process is performed based on a command signal obtained by a process (process after step S40) executed according to a “process No.” described later, and decorative lamps L13, 122, and 12 installed on the game board 3 are provided.
3. This is a process of outputting a drive signal to decorative LEDs 107 to 109, solenoids A, A, B, C, D, E, and the like.

In the next step S28, a two-system prize ball discharging process (SR600) is performed. The two-system prize ball discharging process is performed according to a flow shown in FIG. 26 described later, and the excitation / demagnetization of the fifth solenoid (solenoid E) 815 in the prize ball processing device 850 is controlled by executing the process. Has become
As a result, the number of prize balls performed for one winning ball is determined to be either 7 or 15.

In the subsequent steps S30 and S32, permission control processing (VSWCTL) of the special winning switch SW3 provided in the special winning opening (V zone) 103 in the variable winning device and detection processing of the switch SW3 (SW3GET) are performed.

The permission control process is performed in accordance with the flow of FIG. 27 described later, and it is determined whether or not the gaming state at that time is a state in which the input of the special winning switch SW3 is to be permitted. The value of the SW3 permission flag is determined based on the determination.

If it is determined by the permission control process that the gaming machine is in a state in which the input of the special winning switch SW3 is to be permitted, the SW3 detection process to be subsequently executed (step S32)
The ON signal from the switch SW3 detected by the switch SW3 is determined to be valid.
Control processing of the variable winning device 10 according to the
At the time of execution of the following processing), the operation of the variable winning device is controlled based on the output signal of the switch SW3.

In the next step S34, a lamp / LED control process (LEDCTL) is performed. This lamp / LED control processing is based on various flags / control variables whose values are determined by control according to the “processing No.” to be described later.
This is a process of actually controlling lighting / flashing of the lamps and LEDs installed at the desired timing.

In the next step S36, the motor control process (MOT
CTL) is executed. This motor control process
This is a process for controlling the opening and closing of the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 installed inside the variable winning device 10 according to the game state, and is performed according to a flow shown in FIG. 29 described later.

When this motor control process is completed, in the next step S38, the auxiliary prize device control process (SOLD-PRC)
This is performed according to the flow shown in FIG.

This auxiliary prize device control processing causes the variable display game machine 52 to perform a variable display game based on an output signal from the specific prize switch SW5 provided in the prize winning opening 5, and the result of the game becomes “hit”. A predetermined time (for example,
For example, the opening and closing of the movable members 51 of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 is performed for 0.8 seconds).

When this auxiliary prize device control processing is completed, step S4
Proceeding to 0, the SW2 set processing (SW2SET) is executed.

This SW2 setting process is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. 43, which will be described later. In the state where the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is opened by the excitation of the solenoid D, the game ball is
When the player wins, the opening operation of the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is started.

When a predetermined time has elapsed after the end of the opening / closing operation of Step 1, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is closed (during this time, the detection of the switch SW3 is permitted). Step SW3 permission processing (FIG. 46). In the case of "3", an interval is provided from when it is determined that a "big hit" has occurred to when the continuous opening / closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 is actually started (for example, occurrence of a fanfare indicating occurrence of a big hit during the interval is performed). Big hit weight processing (Fig. 47).

Or stop device exit door 112 Wait process for controlling the operation of such opening (49 view), when the (6) process No. is "6", the switch SW3, SW4A, 4B
Various operation control according to the process No. is performed, such as illegal processing (step S60).

When the processing No. is “0”, the above-described step S42
-All the determination results in step S52 become "No",
In S54, ordinary processing (FIG. 44) according to the normal game state is performed. This normal process is a process of lighting / flashing various LEDs / lamps installed on the game board 3 according to a normal game state, and is a condition for executing the processes (1) to (6). Until the condition is satisfied, the ordinary processing is repeatedly executed.

When the processing in step S54 is completed, step S5
6. In S58, the main check data 1 and main check data 2 described above for checking the storage state of the RAM 614 are respectively set. Thereafter, the program is terminated, and the CPU 610 is operated until the next hard reset signal is generated. To the stop state (HALT).

By executing the main routine described above, the variable prize device 10, the auxiliary variable prize device 50, the various LEDs and lamps installed on the game board 3, and the operation of the speaker 930 for generating sound effects installed on the game machine are operated. Control is performed.

Next, the aforementioned steps of the main routine will be described with reference to FIG.
The fraud detection processing (INJUSTCE) executed in S22 will be described.

This fraud detection process is a process for detecting fraud in a pachinko game, for example, when a foreign object such as a piano wire is inserted into the ten count switch SW4A, SW4B installed in the variable winning device 10, or a connector is disconnected. is there.

When this fraud detection processing is started, first, in step S1
At 02, the ten-count switch SW4
A, It is determined whether or not the illegal state of SW4B is detected (whether or not illegal). When the result of the determination in step S102 is "Yes", without executing the processing of the following steps S104 to S136, that is, without performing further fraud detection,
This routine is terminated as it is, and the process shifts to the sound effect output processing (SOUND) of the main routine (in this case, a sound effect indicating an illegal occurrence is output).

On the other hand, if the determination result in the step S102 is “No”, then, in steps S104 to S110, the switch
It is determined whether or not SW4A and SW4B are in a short-circuit illegal state (a state in which the short-circuit state continues for a predetermined time or more).

First, in step S104, the ten count switch SW4
A, it is determined whether or not the output signal from SW4B is at the H level.

If the determination result is “No”, in step S106, the short check timer INJTIM3 is set to a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), and the process proceeds to step S112 and the subsequent steps. Therefore, if the switches SW4A and SW4B are not short-circuited, the timer INJTIM3
Is set to the predetermined time (2 sec).

When one of the switches SW4A and SW4B is short-circuited and the determination result in step S104 turns to "Yes", the timer
The value of INJTIM3 is subtracted (step S108), and the next step S11
It is determined whether or not the timer INJTIM3 whose value has been reduced by 0 becomes "0". While the determination result is “No”, the process proceeds to step S112 and the subsequent steps to detect another illegal state.

The switches SW4A and SW4B are short-circuited for the specified time (2
sec) If the determination result of step S110 subsequently changes to "Yes", it is determined that the switches SW4A and SW4B are in the short-circuit improper state, and the process proceeds to step S136, where the processing No. is set to "6" and the short-circuit is set. An unauthorized operation initial process, such as storing that an unauthorized state has occurred, is executed, and the routine ends.

When the process No. is set to "6" and the short-circuit improper state is stored, the determination in step S52 of the main routine becomes "Yes" and the process proceeds to the improper operation process (step S60). Unauthorized processing according to the short unauthorized state (such as generation of an unauthorized sound corresponding to the unauthorized) is executed.

Step S executed when the determination result of step S104 is “No” or the determination result of step S110 is “No”
From 112 to step S118, illegal SW4 count detection is performed. First, in step S112, it is determined whether the output signal of the ten count switch SW4A or the switch SW4B has risen from the previous loop to the current loop. When the result of this determination is “No”, the following steps S114 to S11
Skip step 8 and proceed to step S120 and subsequent steps. On the other hand, the result of the determination in step S112 is "Yes", that is, the ten-count switch SW4
When the winning of the game ball is detected by A, SW4B, it is determined in the next step S114 whether or not the process No. is “0”. When the determination result is "Yes", that is, when the gaming state is in a state where normal processing is to be performed (normal gaming state), winning of the gaming ball into the variable winning device 10 by the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B. If detected, this routine is terminated as it is, and the routine shifts to the sound effect output processing of the main routine (step S24 in FIG. 24). On the other hand, when the determination result of step S114 is “No”, the SW4FG is stored in the variable winning device 10 in order to store that the game ball has won.
Is set to "1" (step S116), and then a sound effect (ten-count sound effect) representing the winning of the game ball in the variable winning device is output (step S118), and the process proceeds to step S120 and thereafter.

In the next steps S120 to S126, the open illegal detection of the ten count switch SW4A is detected, and in the steps S128 to S134, the open illegal detection of the ten count switch SW4B is performed.

First, in step S120, it is determined whether the output signal from the switch SW4A is at the H level.

If the determination result is “No”, in step S122, the open check timer INJTIM1 is set to a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), and the process proceeds to step S128. Therefore, the output signal from the switch SW4A becomes H level (O
If not, the value of the timer INJTIM1 is set to the predetermined time each time this routine is executed.

When the output signal of the switch SW4A becomes H level (ON) and the determination result of the step S120 turns to "Yes", a process of decreasing the value of the timer INJTIM1 is performed as long as the ON state continues (step S124). In step S126, the timer
It is determined whether the value of INJTIM1 has become "0". As long as the result of this determination is “No”, the flow proceeds to the processing of step S128 and thereafter to detect whether the switch SW4B is open or not.
When the predetermined time (2 sec) has elapsed after the output signal of the switch SW4A has changed to the H level and the result of the determination in step S126 turns to "Yes", it is determined that the switch SW4A is in the open illegal state, and the aforementioned step S136 is determined. Then, in the RAM 614, the fact that the switch SW4A has been opened illegally in the illegal operation initial processing is stored in the RAM 614, and this routine is terminated.

When the process No. is set to "6" and the illegal opening of the switch SW4A is stored in this manner, the determination in step S52 of the main routine described above becomes "Yes" and the illegal processing proceeds, and the switch SW4A is turned off. Unauthorized processing according to the occurrence of the open illegal operation (such as generation of an illegal sound according to the illegal operation) is executed.

In the process of detecting the unauthorized opening of the switch SW4B after step S128, first, it is determined whether or not the output signal of the ten count switch SW4B is at the H level (ON) (step S128).

If the decision result in the step S128 is "No", in a step S130, the open check timer INJTIM2 is set to a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), the present routine ends, and the process proceeds to the main routine audio output processing. Therefore, if the output signal from the switch SW4B is not at the H level (ON), the timer INJT
The value of IM2 is set to the predetermined time (2 sec).

When the output signal of the switch SW4B is turned on (H level) and the result of the determination at the step S128 turns to "Yes", the process of reducing the value of the timer INJTIM2 is performed as long as the on state continues (step S132). Timer in step S134
It is determined whether the value of INJTIM2 has become "0". As long as the result of this determination is “No”, step S136 is skipped and this routine ends. The state where the output signal of the switch SW4B is turned on (H level) continues for the predetermined time,
When the determination result of step S136 turns to “Yes”, the switch
It is determined that SW4B is in the open illegal state, and step S136 is performed.
The process proceeds to the illegal operation initial process, the process No. is set to "6", the fact that the open illegal operation has occurred in the switch SW4B is stored in the RAM, and this routine ends.

When the processing No. is set to "6" and the open illegal state of the switch SW4B is stored, the determination in step S52 of the main routine becomes "Yes" and the illegal processing proceeds, and the switch SW4B In this case, an unauthorized process (such as generation of a sound effect corresponding to the unauthorized operation) according to the open unauthorized state is performed.

Next, the two-system prize ball discharging process (SR600) executed in step S28 of the main routine will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

As shown in the figure, when this routine is started, in step S140, from the previous loop to the current loop, it is determined whether or not a new game ball winning to the variable winning device is detected by the ten count switches SW4A, SW4B. (Whether SW4A and SW4B have risen) is determined.

If the determination result is “Yes”, the large discharge number storage value is added by “1” in step S142, and step S144 is performed.
On the other hand, if "No", step S142 is skipped, that is, the large discharge number storage value stored at this time is held as it is, and the process proceeds to step S144.

Here, the large discharge number storage value is an added value of gaming balls that have won the winning openings (103, 104, 104) at which large discharge (15 discharges) is to be performed, and the stored value is a value other than “0”. In this case, the fifth solenoid (solenoid E) 815 for switching the number of prize balls to be discharged, which is provided in the prize ball discharge device 810, is excited (ON) as described later, whereby one prize is won from the prize ball discharge device. 15 prize balls will be ejected to the ball. (Conversely, when the large ejection number storage value is “0”, the solenoid E is demagnetized (OFF) and one prize ball is ejected. 7 prize balls are ejected).

Returning to FIG. 26, in the next step S144, this loop
It is determined whether or not this is the first loop executed since the power was turned on to the gaming machine. If this determination result is "Yes", in step S146, a switching state detection switch MSW3 (not shown) provided in the winning ball discharge device is turned on (the switch MSW3 outputs an ON signal at the time of small discharge). Is determined.

While the determination result is “No”, the process proceeds to step S148 to excite (ON) the solenoid E, terminates this routine as it is, and shifts to the SW3 permission control process (VSCCTL) of the main routine. As described above, the solenoid E is excited (ON) after power is turned on to prepare for a small discharge, because the variable winning device 10 is opened after the power is turned on so that a large discharge can be performed. This is because a prize (small discharge) is a condition, and the discharge of the first prize ball is always a small discharge. On the other hand, step S1
When the result of the determination in 46 is “Yes”, the flow proceeds to the processing in step S150 and subsequent steps.

In step S150, it is determined whether or not the prize ball discharge processing has already been started at the time of execution of the current loop, and whether or not the started discharge processing is continuously performed (whether the prize ball is being discharged). When the determination result is “Yes”, that is, when the predetermined number (7 or 15) of the discharge processing corresponding to one winning ball has not been completed yet, a large discharge start flag described later is determined in step S152. The FLGA is reset to "0", the routine ends as it is, and the process shifts to the SW3 permission control process (USWCTL) of the main routine. At this time, the solenoid E
In the ON / OFF state, the state at that time is held in order to continue the predetermined number (7 or 15) of the prize balls already started to be discharged.

On the other hand, when the prize ball discharge processing is not performed during the execution of this routine ("No" in step S150), it is determined in step S154 whether or not the value of the discharge start flag FLGA is "1". The large discharge start flag FLGA is set in step S1 to be described later when the solenoid E is demagnetized to perform a large discharge process (15 discharges) of prize balls and the stage for preparing for large discharge is started.
The value is set to "1" at 62, and after the prize ball is actually discharged (during discharging), the value is reset to "0" at the above-described step S152.

Therefore, when the result of the determination in step S154 is "Yes", it is determined that a large discharge has not yet started even though the solenoid has been demagnetized (OFF) in preparation for a large discharge. This routine ends without performing the processing of S156 and thereafter.

On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S154 is "No", it is determined that it is not the preparation stage for the large discharge, and the ON / OFF control of the solenoid E based on the value of the large discharge storage number is newly performed (for the large discharge). The process for determining whether or not to excite the solenoid E in preparation) is started.

First, in step S156, it is determined whether or not the large discharge number storage value at this point is “0”. If the result of this determination is "Yes", that is, if it is determined that the next prize ball discharge process should be large discharge, the solenoid E is set in step S158 to perform large discharge (15 discharges). (OFF), the value of the large discharge storage number is decremented by "1" in step S160, the discharge start flag FLGA is set to "1" (step S162), and this routine is terminated. Then, the process proceeds to the SW3 permission process of the main routine.

On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S156 is "No", the solenoid E is excited (ON) so that the number of prize balls discharged by the prize ball discharge processing is set to 7 (small discharge) (step S164). Thereafter, this routine ends, and the process proceeds to the SW3 permission process of the main routine.

Next, the special winning opening (V zone) 103 of the variable winning device 10
About permission control processing (VSWCTL) and detection processing (SW3GET) of special winning switch SW3 installed in
This will be described with reference to FIG. 28 and FIG.

Permission control processing of special winning switch SW3 (No. 27
FIG. 7) is executed in step S30 of the main routine described above, detects a game state in which a game ball can win a special winning opening (V zone) 103, and outputs an output signal of the switch SW3 only in the game state. Is a kind of fraud prevention processing for treating as an effective one.

When this processing is started, first, in step S170, the SW
3 It is determined whether the detection flag VFG is "1". this
The SW3 detection flag VFG is used for the SW1 processing described later (SW1PRC, FIG. 45)
Or, when the big hit processing (HITPRC, FIG. 48) is completed (the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device are opened a predetermined number of times by these processings), it is set to “1”, and thereafter for a predetermined time (for example, The value “1” is held for 4 seconds).

When the SW3 detection flag VFG is not yet set to “1” (the determination result in step S170 is “No”), the subsequent steps S172 to S180 are skipped, the process returns to the main routine, and the SW3 detection processing (SW3GET) is performed. Move to

When the SW1 processing or the jackpot processing described later is performed and the SW3 detection flag VFG is set to “1”, the result of the determination in step S170 becomes “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S172, and the SW3 valid time timer VWTIM (the The value of the timer is reduced by a predetermined time (for example, 4 seconds) in the SW1 process described later, and subsequently, it is determined whether or not the value of the timer VWTIM has become "0" (step S174).

While this determination result is “No”, the following step S17
Steps S180 to S180 are skipped, this routine ends, and the process returns to the main routine to perform SW3 detection processing. After the opening / closing control of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 by the SW1 processing or the big hit processing to be described later is completed (the timer VWTIM is set at this time), the predetermined time (2Sec) elapses, and the determination result of the step S174 is “Yes”. Turns to step S1
At 76, the SW3 detection flag VFG is reset to "0". At the next step S178, a solenoid A open counter SO representing the number of times of opening and closing operations of the movable wing by the solenoids A and A is described.
It is determined whether or not the value of LCNT is “0”.

If this determination result is "No", that is, if this processing is performed after the movable wing pieces 101, 101 are actually opened and closed at least once or more by executing the SW1 processing or the big hit processing described later, this routine is performed as it is. Then, the process proceeds to step S32 of the main routine (at this time, the value of the SW3 detection permission flag VSWFG is held at “1” as described later).

On the other hand, the determination result of step S178 is “Yes”, that is,
If this processing is executed despite the fact that the movable wing pieces 101, 101 have never been opened and closed, it is determined that some irregularity has occurred, and the process proceeds to step S180, where the SW3 detection permission flag VSW is set.
FG is set to “0”, and then this routine ends.

Here, the SW3 detection permission flag VSWFG is used in the SW3 detection processing performed subsequently to the routine. When the value of the flag VSWFG is “0”, the detection signal of the special winning switch SW3 is invalid. It is supposed to be.

FIG. 28 is a flowchart of the SW3 detection processing (SW3GET) executed in step S32 of the main routine.

When the SW3 detection process is started, first, in step S18
At 2, it is determined whether or not the gaming machine has been fraudulent at this time (i.e., being fraudulent). This determination is made based on the detection result of the above-described fraud detection processing (INJUSTICE) and the like. When the determination result is “Yes”, the process directly proceeds to step S42 and subsequent steps of the main routine.

On the other hand, when the result of the determination in step S182 is “No”, it is determined in step S184 whether the output signal of the special winning switch SW3 has turned to the H level (ON).

When the determination result is “No”, that is, when the game ball does not win in the special winning opening 103, the process directly proceeds to the motor control process (MOTCTL) of the main routine without performing the process after step S186. On the other hand, when the determination result is “Yes”, that is, when it is detected that the game ball has won the special winning opening 103, the above-described SW is further determined at this time.
3 It is determined whether or not the value of the detection permission flag VSWFG is "1" (step S186). When the result of this determination is “No”,
That is, when the flag VSWFG indicates that the input of the output signal of the switch SW3 should not be permitted, the process directly proceeds to the motor control process of the main routine.

After the opening / closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable prize apparatus, when the game ball wins in the special winning opening 103 (regular winning), the determination result in step S186 becomes “Yes”, It is determined whether or not the winning of the game ball to the special winning opening 103 is a winning in the final cycle in the big hit gaming state (step S187). When the result of this determination is “No”, the flow proceeds to step S188, and a jackpot initial process is executed to store the winning of the game ball to the special winning opening 103 (the process number is set to “3” in this step). As a result, when the game is not in the big hit game state at this time, the control is started from the big hit weight processing described later in a subsequent loop. The continuous opening / closing operation in the state is terminated, and the process shifts to the next cycle.)

On the other hand, when the determination result in step S187 is “Yes”,
That is, when the big hit gaming state is the final cycle, the continuation of the further continuous opening / closing operation is not permitted, so that the process proceeds to step S190 without executing the initial process of step S188.

In the next step S190, the O from the special winning switch SW3
Prior to N signal generation, ten count switches SW4A, SW4B
It is determined whether or not an ON signal has been generated. If the result of this determination is "Yes", it is determined that the ON signal from the switch SW3 has been generated properly (not illegal), and this routine is terminated as it is, skipping to step S56 of the main routine. On the other hand, when the determination result in step S190 is “No”, that is, when the output signal of the special winning switch SW3 is turned ON while the game ball has not passed through the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B, some illegal Then, the process proceeds to step S192, where the process No. is set to "6" and the SW4 and 3 consecutive illegal initials such as storing the fact are performed. Finished, step S5 of the main routine
Skip to 6. When the fraudulent manner (SW4, 3 consecutive fraud) is stored in this way, in the subsequent processing, step S52 of the main routine becomes “Yes” and fraudulent processing (corresponding to the fraudulent content) according to the fraudulent manner Sound effects, etc.).

Next, the doll clothes opening / closing door 13 installed in the variable winning device 10
The operation control (motor control processing) of the opening / closing motor 172 that performs the opening / closing operation of 0 will be described with reference to FIGS. 29 to 41.

This motor control processing (MOTCTL) is executed in step S36 of the main routine described above, and includes a power-on operation block (MOT-10 to MOT-30) performed immediately after the power is turned on to the gaming machine, A jackpot operation block (MOT-40 to MOT-80), a jackpot operation block (MOT-90 to MOT-100), and a jackpot end operation block (MOT-) performed for a predetermined time immediately after the ball has won the special winning opening. 110 to MOT-120).

 Hereinafter, description will be given according to the flowchart.

FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the motor control processing routine.

When this routine is started, first, in step S202, the value of the ball bite check timer is reduced, and in the next step S204, the value of the motor control timer (MCTIM) is reduced.

Here, the ball bite check timer (ball bite timer) refers to a state in which the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 does not open / close even though the opening / closing motor is operated in the opening direction (CCW on) or the closing direction (SW on). It is provided to detect the ball bite. When the timer expires, it is determined that a ball bite has occurred, and the subsequent processing is performed irrespective of the actual opening / closing state of the doll clothes opening / closing door 130. It is forcibly executed. The motor control timer (MCTIM)
In the processing of step S208 and thereafter, the control variable MCTL
When executing the operation control of the open / close motor 172 and the solenoids B and C according to the change of the value of (1) (“MOT-10” to “MOT-12”).
0 "), a timer for providing an interval between these successively executed operation controls. This motor control timer is set to a desired value according to the control content in each subroutine (FIGS. 30 to 41) according to the value of the control variable MCTL1, and whether or not the timer has timed out. Is determined in the following step S206.

Returning to the flow of FIG. 29, if it is determined in step S206 that the motor control timer (MCTIM) has not yet timed out (the determination result is “No”), the main process is executed without executing the subsequent processing. Returning to the routine, the auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC) is performed. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S206 is “Yes”, the step
From S208 to step S230, the value of the control variable MCTL1 is "1" sequentially.
(Step S208), the value of the variable MCTL1 is “2”.
(Step S210), the value of the variable MCTL1 is “3”.
(Step S212), the value of the variable MCTL1 is “4”.
(Step S214), the value of the variable MCTL1 is “5”.
(Step S216), the value of the variable MCTL1 is “6”.
(Step S218), the value of the variable MCTL1 is “7”.
(Step S220), the value of the variable MCTL1 is “8”
(Step S222), the value of the variable MCTL1 is “9”.
(Step S224), the value of the variable MCTL1 is “10”.
(Step S226), the value of the variable MCTL1 is “11”.
(Step S228), the value of the variable MCTL1 is “12”.
Is determined (step S230).

The subroutines shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 30 to 41 are respectively executed according to the results of these determinations.

Hereinafter, the plurality of subroutines will be described according to the actual operation of the doll clothes opening / closing door 30.

As described above, when power is applied to the gaming machine 1, a power-on operation is started. While this power-on operation is being performed, the above-described control variable MCTL1 is set to any value of “1” to “3”, and “MOT” corresponding to this control variable is set.
−10 ”to“ MOT-30 ”are executed.

Here, the “power-on operation” means that the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened immediately after the power is turned on, and in this state, the stopping device exit door 112 is opened and closed instantaneously. Refers to a series of actions to close

Immediately after the power is turned on, the main routine (Fig. 24)
Of motor control initial processing (step
Since the value of the control variable MCTL1 is first set to “1” by S14), the result of the determination in step S208 becomes “Yes”,
The “MOT-10” process (FIG. 30) is started.

In the “MOT-10” process, first, in step S1002, an operation (CCW ON) of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 counterclockwise to open the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is started. In the next step S1004, it is determined whether an ON signal has been output from the motor switch MSW2 provided in the door driving mechanism. As long as this determination result is “No”, the doll clothes door 1
It is determined that 30 has not been opened yet, and step S1
Steps 006 to S1014 are skipped, this routine is terminated as it is, and the flow proceeds to the auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine.

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step S1004 is "Yes", the process proceeds to a step S1006 to energize (ON) the solenoid C so as to open the stop device exit door 12 provided in the variable prize device, and further, the motor control timer. The value of MCTIM is set to 3 seconds (step S1008), then the ball bit timer is set to a predetermined time (step S1010), and the control variable MCTL1 is set to 2 (step S1012). Stop driving (step S1014)
This routine ends, and the flow shifts to auxiliary winning device control processing.

As described above, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is sufficiently opened and the determination result of the step S1004 is changed to “Yes”, and once the processing after the step S1006 is performed, the control variable MCTL1 is set to “2”. In the next and subsequent motor control processes (FIG. 29), the determination in step S210 changes to “Yes” and
The “MOT-20” routine is started. still,
As described above, the motor control timer is set to step S100
Since it is set to 3 seconds at 8, an interval of 3 seconds is provided from the end of the “MOT-10” process to the start of the “MOT-20” process.

The above-mentioned “MOT-10” processing (in this processing, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130
Is opened, and immediately after that, the exit door 112 is opened), and after a lapse of a predetermined time (3 seconds), the determination results of the above-described steps S206 and S210 both become "Yes" and "MOT" -20 "process (FIG. 31) is executed.

In the "MOT-20" process, first, in step S10
In step 20, the solenoid C is demagnetized (OFF) to open the stopping device exit door opened by the execution of step S1006, and then the motor control timer MCTIM is set to a predetermined time (500 msec) (step S1022). Set the timer to a predetermined time (1 sec) (step S1
024), and sets the control variable MCTL1 to “3” (step S102).
6), this routine is ended, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine.

In the motor control process, when a subsequent loop is performed, the determination result in step S206 becomes "No" until the motor control timer times out, and the auxiliary prize device control process of the main routine is executed (at this time, The doll clothes door 130 is opened and exit door 1
12 or closed).

After the elapse of the predetermined time, the determination result of step S206 changes to “Yes”, and the determination result of step S212 becomes “Yes” (at this time, the control variable MCTL1 is set to “3”). MOT-30 "processing (FIG. 32) is executed.

In the "MOT-30" process, first, in step S1030, an operation of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 clockwise to close the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is started (CW ON). In the next step S1032, it is determined whether or not ball biting has occurred. This determination is made based on whether or not the ball biting timer set at the predetermined time (1 sec) in step S1024 of “MOT-20” has timed out. If the result of this determination is “No”, then in the next step S1034 the motor switch
It is determined whether the output signal from MSW1 has become H level (ON).

While the determination result of step S1034 is “No”,
Steps S1036 and S1038 are skipped, this routine ends, and the flow directly proceeds to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine. On the other hand, when the result of this determination has turned to “Yes”, that is, when it is determined that the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 has been closed, a series of “power-on operation processing” “MCTI is“ 1 ”,“ 1 ”in step S1036 The control variable MCTL1 is reset to “0” to end the processing executed when “2”, “2”, or “3”), and the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened and closed to stop the operation in the closing direction. The motor 172 is stopped (step S1038), this routine ends, and the routine shifts to auxiliary winning device control processing.

Before the result of the determination in step S1034 turns to “Yes”, when the ball biting timer set in step S1024 of the above “MOT-20” times out (step S1).
The determination result of 032 is “Yes”), it is determined that a ball bite has occurred in the doll clothes opening / closing door 130, and steps S1036 and S1 are forcibly performed.
038 is executed.

By performing the above “power-on operation process”,
The power-on operation of the variable winning device 10 after the power is turned on to the gaming machine 1 is executed.

When the power-on operation process ends, the control variable MCTL1 is held at "0" (at this time, steps S208 to S230
Are all "No"), and the process proceeds to the main routine auxiliary prize winning device control process without substantially performing the motor control process.

Thereafter, when the game ball wins in the special winning opening (V zone) 103, the control variation MCTL1 is set to "4" in the big hit weight processing (FIG. 47) to be described later, and the doll clothes opening / closing door according to the big hit weight state. 130 operation control (big hit weight operation) is started. Here, the jackpot weight operation is defined as an operation unit (a doll clothes opening / closing door 130, a stopping device entrance door 1) installed in the variable winning device 10 in accordance with a jackpot weight process described later.

As described above, once the “MOT-90” process is executed, the control variable MCL1 is set to “10”. When the “MOT-100” process is executed one after another, the control variable MCTL1 is set to “9”. Therefore, the "MOT-90" process and the "MOT-100" process are executed alternately with an interval of 0.5 second from 1 to 15 cycles of the "big hit game state". Is repeated to execute a "big hit process" (this process is executed when the process number is "4").
The doll clothes opening / closing door 130 repeats the opening / closing operation in accordance with the opening / closing operation (18 times) of the movable wing pieces 101, 101.

When the continuous opening / closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 performed at this time is of the final (16) cycle, as described later, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 and the staying device entrance door 111 / outlet door 112 are closed. Control processing (control processing in steps S1156 to S1160) for maintaining all open states is executed.

By the way, "Big hit processing" to be described later (Fig. 48)
In, after the jackpot gaming state is started, after the movable wing pieces are opened and closed 18 times, or after 10 game balls are won in the variable winning device, a predetermined time (the continuation condition is also within the predetermined time) The continuation condition of the jackpot game state is that the game ball wins in the special winning opening (V zone) 103 before the elapse of (possible establishment). Therefore, when performing the opening / closing control of the doll clothes opening / closing door and the entrance / exit door of the stopping device, when the above-mentioned continuation condition is satisfied, a big hit weight process described below (No. 47) is performed in order to start a big hit weight operation in the next cycle. The control variable MCTL1 is set to “4” in FIG. Then, when the big hit processing (FIG. 48) is started, MCTL1 is set to "8", and the big hit operation is started. Such processing is performed for a maximum of 16 cycles as long as the continuation condition of the big hit game continues.

If the continuation condition is not satisfied during the “big hit process”, the process goes to step S142 of the “big hit process” described later.
At 8, the control variable MCTL1 is set to "11", and in the subsequent motor control processing, the big hit end operation processing ("MOT-110", "MOT-120") is executed.

Here, the big hit end operation process is a motor control process performed in parallel with a wait process described later.
The doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened until a predetermined time (4 seconds) elapses from the end of the continuous opening / closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable prize device (the input of the switch SW3 is permitted during this time). The stop device exit door 112 is opened in this state, and after a lapse of a predetermined time (approximately 3,5 seconds), the stop device exit door 112 is closed again (this process is performed by a weight process described later). This is a process of closing the door 130.

If the control variable MCTL1 is set to “11” in the “big hit process” to be described later and the continuation condition of the big hit game state has not been satisfied yet, the step S228 of the motor control process becomes “Yes” and the big hit end operation is performed. The “MOT-110” process (FIG. 40) is started.

In the "MOT-110" process, in step S1160, an operation of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 counterclockwise to open the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is performed (CCW ON). In the next step S1162, it is determined whether or not a ball bite has occurred. When the determination result is "No", the next step S11
At 64, the output signal from the motor switch MSW2 becomes H level (O
N) is determined.

While the determination result of step S1164 is “No”,
Since it is determined that the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 has not been completely opened yet, the following steps S1166 to S1180 are skipped, the present routine is terminated, and the process proceeds to the auxiliary prize device control processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine. I do.

When the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is completely opened by the operation of the opening / closing motor 172, and the determination result in the step S1164 turns to “Yes”, the solenoid C is excited (step S1166) to open the stopping device exit door 112 in the next step S1166. ON), and then the control process of the solenoid C is started (step
(S1168) In step S1170, it is determined whether or not the big hit gaming state at this time is in the last (16) cycle. As long as the determination result is “No”, in step S1172, a sound effect (bomb sound) indicating that one cycle of the operation in the big hit game state has been completed is generated.
The processing after step S1174, that is, the control variable MCTL1 is set to “1”
2 "(step S1174), and then the control timer MCTIM is set to a predetermined time (3.5 sec) (step S1174).
1176) and the ball bit timer is set to a predetermined time (step
(S1178) After that, the operation of the opening / closing motor 172 is stopped (step S1180), the present routine is ended, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine.

When the predetermined time set in step S1176 elapses, the motor control process (the
This time, the determination result of step S230 among steps S208 to S230 in FIG. 29) is “Yes”, and the “MOT-120” process is executed.

In the "MOT-120" process, first, in step S1190, an operation of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 clockwise to close the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is started (CW ON).
In the next step S1192, it is determined whether or not a ball bite has occurred. While the determination result is “No”, in the next step S1194, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the motor switch MSW1 is at the H level (ON), that is, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130
It is determined whether or not is closed.

If the result of this determination is "No", it is determined that the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 has not yet been completely closed, and this routine is terminated as it is, and the auxiliary prize winning device control processing (SO
LD-PRC).

Thereafter, when the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is fully opened and the determination result is “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S1196, where the control variable MCTL1 is reset to “0”, and the opening / closing motor 172 is set in step S1198. Is stopped, this routine ends, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine.

If it is determined that a ball bite has occurred before the result of the determination in step S1194 changes to "Yes", this routine is terminated as it is, and the process proceeds to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine.

A series of operations relating to the “big hit” described above is continued up to 15 times, and is performed up to 16 cycles. Then, the jackpot operation processing ("MOT-90", "M
OT-100 ”), the control variable MCTL1 is set to“ 10 ”in the big hit processing (FIG. 48 described later), so the big hit operation block in the final (16) cycle of the motor control processing In FIG. 39, the processing is started from "MOT-100" (FIG. 39), and the control variable MCTL1 is not set to "9" even by executing the "MOT-110" processing ("MOT-100"). The determination result of step S1146 is “Yes”
And step S1148 is not executed). Therefore, in the motor control process in the 16th cycle, the doll clothes
In the state where 130 is kept open, opening / closing control of the stop device entrance door and the exit door (steps S1156 to S11 in FIG. 39)
60) will be performed.

That is, with the doll clothes door 130 opened, the solenoids B and C are both excited (ON) and opened (step S115).
6), and reset the control variable MCTL1 to “0” (step S115)
8) Stop the operation of the open / close motor 172 (step S116)
0), this routine ends, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine.

In addition, at the end of the continuous opening / closing operation of the last (16) cycle of the big hit gaming state, the “MO
The determination result of step S1170 of "T-110" becomes "Yes", and the process ends without generating a sound effect (bomb sound) (step S1172) in accordance with the end of the continuous opening / closing operation. ing.

Next, the auxiliary prize winning device control processing executed in step S38 of the main routine will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The auxiliary prize winning device control process causes the variable display game to be played on the condition that the game ball has won the heavenly winning opening (specific winning opening) 5 of the game board 3, and the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 is operated in accordance with the result. This is a process for operating.

When this routine is started, first, in step S1202, a specific winning switch SW5 installed in the
It is determined whether an N signal (H level signal) has been output. If the result of this determination is “No”, the following step S
1204, Step S1206 is skipped, and the processes in and after Step S1208 are executed.

On the other hand, when the result of the determination in step S1202 is "Yes", that is, when the gaming ball has won the prize hole 5, it is determined in subsequent step S1204 whether or not the specific winning storage number is "4". .

Here, the specific winning memory number is the number of game balls (winning balls) for which the variable display game corresponding to the winning has not been executed, despite having won the natural winning opening (specific winning opening) 5 (unprocessed ball). ) Is a variable for storing up to a maximum of four variables, and the value is decremented by one each time the variable display game is executed. By providing the specific winning storage number in this way, even if a game ball wins in the specific winning opening 5 during execution of the variable display game, the winning is stored and the game is being executed at that time. After the variable display game is completed, the next variable display game is continuously performed.

Referring back to FIG. 42, the determination result of step S1204 is “No”
In step S1206, the value of the specific winning storage number is updated ("1" is added), and a predetermined random number table is set in correspondence with the newly stored number (the table is the random number setting described above). Numerical values are extracted from (preliminarily selected by a switch), and the process proceeds to step S1208 and thereafter. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S1204 is "Yes", the storage number is not updated (step S1204).
Step 6 is skipped), and the process proceeds to step S1208 and subsequent steps.

In the processing after step S1208, the variable display game and the auxiliary variable winning device 50
Operation control is performed.

Hereinafter, the present flow will be described in accordance with a change in the game state.

Now, let us consider a case where the “specific winning storage number” is “0” and the auxiliary variable winning device 50 stops its operation.

When this flow is started in this state, step S1202
Is "No", and the flow advances to step S1208 to determine whether the solenoid D on-timer SOLDTIM is counting. The timer SOLDTIM has a predetermined mode (“3” or “7”) in which the variable display game machine 52 stops the variable display game (the 7-segment numerical display displays one of “0” to “9”). )) Is provided to excite (ON) the solenoid D for a predetermined time from the occurrence of a "hit", and the count value of the counter is simultaneously set to the later-described step S1250 at the time of occurrence of the hit. To a predetermined time (0.8 sec).

If the “specified winning storage number” is “0” and the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is stopped, this step S120
The determination result in step 8 becomes "No", the process proceeds to step S1210, where the solenoid D is demagnetized (OFF), and the solenoid D operation flag is reset to "0" in step S1212.
The determination in S1214 is performed.

In step S1214, it is determined whether or not the gaming machine is normally processing. Here, the normal processing means that the processing number is “0”
(FIG. 44), which is a process in which the variable winning device 10 installed on the game board 3 does not perform any operation.

When the result of the determination in step S1214 is "Yes", the various lamps and LEDs installed on the game board 3 are turned off, and the generation of sound effects from the speakers is stopped (OFF) (step S12).
16), execute the processing of step S1218 and thereafter. On the other hand, if a process other than the normal process is being performed at this time (the determination result in step S1214 is “No”), the process proceeds to step S1.
The process from step S1218 is performed skipping 216 (at this time, various lamps, LEDs, and speakers are controlled in accordance with the operation of the variable winning device 50 as described later).

In a succeeding step S1218, it is determined whether or not the solenoid D is being excited (ON). In this loop performed at the time when the operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 has not been started,
The result of this determination is “No”, and furthermore, step S1220
It is determined whether or not the later-described loss display process is continued (whether a later-described loss display timer has expired), and further, whether or not the symbol of the variable display game device 52 is changing, that is, a stopped symbol. Is determined (step S122)
2) Whether or not the specific winning number storage is “0” (step S
1224) are sequentially determined.

In the current loop in which the variable display game has not yet been performed, the determination results in step S1220 and step S1222 are both “No”, and the determination result in step S1224 is “Yes”, skipping later-described steps S1228 to S1244. Then, the flow advances to step S1226 to update the previously extracted random numbers for symbol determination for determining the result of the variable display game, end this routine, and shift to the SW2 setting process (SW2SET) of the main routine.

In the state where the present routine is being executed according to the above-described flow, when a game ball wins in the special winning opening (specific winning opening) 5 (the switch SW5 is turned on), the determination result in the step S1202 changes to “Yes”, and the step S1204, Step S1206 are performed. When it is detected that the game ball has won the prize hole 5 (the specific winning number storage becomes a value equal to or more than "1"), the steps S1208 to S1222 are executed in the same manner as the above-described procedure. After that, the determination result of the step S1224 is changed to "Yes", the processing after the step S1228 is executed, and the variable display game is started.

First, in step S1228, the specific winning storage number is decremented by "1", the rotation timer is set to a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), and then the variable display game device is set.
The symbol is changed by 52 (step S123).
0) Then, it is determined whether or not the time of the rotation timer has expired (step S1232).

After the variable display game is started by the winning of the game ball into the prize hole 5, until the predetermined time elapses, the determination result is "No", and then the stop switch set on the gaming machine by the player is set. It is determined whether the SW6 has been pressed (whether the ON signal has been output from the SW6) (step S1234). If the determination result of each of the above steps S1232 and S1234 is “No”, the process proceeds from step S1236 to step S1236.
Without executing S1244, the above-described step S1226 is executed, and this routine ends.

Once the variable display game is started and the symbol is changed in this way, in the next and subsequent loops, step S1202
After Step S1220 is sequentially executed, Step S12 is performed.
The determination result of step 22 changes to "Yes" (at this time, step S122
4, step S1228 is skipped), step S12
The processing after 30 is executed.

When the symbol change of the variable display game is continued for a predetermined time and the rotation timer times out, or
When the stop switch (not shown) is pressed by the player, one of the determination results in step S1232 and step S1234 is “Yes”, and the processing after step S1236 is performed.

First, in step S1236, a symbol as a result of the current variable display game is determined (determined from “0” to “9” determined according to a numerical value extracted from the random number table), and then determined. The symbol is a hit (for example, "3"
Is determined (step S1238).

When the determination result is “No”, that is, when the result of the variable display game is a loss, the loss display timer is set to a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 sec) to set a loss display period (step S1240), and then the loss is performed. The symbol is displayed on the variable display game device 52 (step S1242), and the value of the set loss display timer is updated (step S1242).
S1244), after performing the step S1224, terminates the present routine.

When the result of the variable display game is “losing” in this manner, in the subsequent loop, step S120 is performed.
After performing the processing from step 2 to step S1218, step S1 is performed.
The determination result at 220 changes to “Yes”, and after performing the steps S1244 and S1226, the present routine ends.

When the "losing" display for the predetermined time is completed, the determination result in step S1220 becomes "No" again, and the processes in step S1222 and thereafter are performed.

Next, a case is considered in which the stop symbol becomes a hit symbol ("3", "7") as a result of the above-described variable display game.

In this case, in step S1238, which is performed immediately after the stop symbol, which is the game result of the variable display game, is determined, the determination result is “Yes”, and the process proceeds to step S1246 and thereafter, where the movable members 51, A process of opening the valve 51 for a predetermined time (0.8 sec) is performed.

First, in step S1246, the solenoid D is excited (ON).
The solenoid D operation flag to "1" to indicate that
Then, the solenoid D is excited (ON) (step S1248), and the solenoid D on timer SOLDTIM for controlling the excitation time of the solenoid D is set to a predetermined time (for example, 0.8 sec) (step S1250).
The determination in step S1252 is performed.

In this step S1252, similarly to the above-described step S1214, it is determined whether or not the main routine performed at this time is performing a normal process. The result of this determination is “Yes”
(At this time, no sound effect is generated according to the operation of the variable winning device 10), the movable member of the auxiliary variable winning device
A sound effect is generated to notify the release of 51 and 51 (step S1254), the process proceeds to step S1226, and then the present routine ends. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S1252 is "No", the process proceeds to step S1226 without generating a sound effect indicating that the movable members 51, 51 are opened (skips step S1254). To end.

In the loop after the stop symbol as a result of the variable display game becomes the "hit symbol", the step S120 is performed until the time of the solenoid D timer expires (for 0.8 sec).
The determination result at 8 is "Yes", the flow proceeds to step S1256 to update the value of the solenoid D on-timer used for the determination (at this time, the excitation of the solenoid D is continued), and proceeds to the determination at step S1218.

In this state, the result of the determination in step S1218 (whether or not the solenoid D is on) is "Yes", and in step S1258, it is again determined whether or not the main routine is executing a normal process.

When the determination result is “Yes”, that is, during normal processing, the variable winning device 10 is not operating as described later,
Therefore, the lighting of the lamp and LED according to the change of the device 10 /
Since blinking has not been performed, in step S1260, lamp and LED operation control processing (lighting / blinking) is performed to notify the opening of the movable members 51, 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50.

On the other hand, when it is performed for processing other than the usual processing,
Since the lighting and blinking of the lamp and LED according to the gaming state have already been performed, the step S1260 is skipped, the process proceeds to the step S1126, and the routine ends.

Such a series of processes is repeatedly performed while the solenoid D is excited (until the solenoid D on timer counts up, for 0.8 sec).

After the movable members 51, 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 are opened, when the solenoid D on-timer finishes counting a predetermined time, the determination result of the step S1208 turns to "No" and the movable member is closed. Excitation (OFF) of solenoid D is performed (step S1210), and then step
After the solenoid D operation flag is reset to “0” in S1212, the processing after step S1214 is performed.

In the processing after step S1214 performed in this case, the determination in step S1218 becomes "No" again, and the processing after step S1220, that is, the processing for performing the next variable display game is performed.

When the operation control of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 corresponding to one winning ball that has won the prize hole 5 in this way is completed, the determination in step S1224 is performed again.
At this time, if the specific winning storage number is a value other than “0”, the operation control of the auxiliary variable winning device corresponding to the winning ball to the natural winning opening 5 is started again.

Next, the SW2 setting process performed when opening the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 of the variable winning device under the condition that the game ball enters the auxiliary variable winning device 50 will be described with reference to FIG.

This SW2 set processing (SW2SET) is executed in step S40 of the main routine described above, and switches the opening / closing motor 172 in the direction in which the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 opens based on the ON signal output from the opening / closing condition switch SW2. It rotates (CCW on).

When this routine is started, first, in step S1300, it is determined whether the opening / closing determination flag FLGST is “1”.
The opening / closing determination flag FLGST determines whether or not the opening control (CCW on) of the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 based on the output signal from the opening / closing condition switch SW2 rises (SW2 on) based on the SW2 on. This is set to “1” in step S1306 to be described later, and set to “0” in step S1314.

At the time this routine is performed, the doll clothes door 130 is still in use
When the opening control of the motor has not been started (step S130
A determination result of 0 is "No", and in the next step S1302, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the opening / closing condition switch SW2 installed in the auxiliary variable winning device has risen to the H level (ON). When the determination result is “No”, it is determined that the game ball has not yet won the auxiliary variable winning device 50, and the subsequent steps S1304 to S1312 are skipped, and the step S1 is executed.
After setting the open / close discrimination flag FLGST to “0” in 314, the present routine is terminated, and the flow proceeds to the processing (BRANCH) after step S42 of the main routine.

If the determination result of step S1302 changes to "Yes" as a result of the game ball winning the auxiliary variable winning device, it is determined in next step S1304 whether the process No. is smaller than "4". This determination is performed in order to determine whether or not the gaming machine is in a gaming state after the jackpot occurrence condition is established (winning to the V zone 103), and the step S1304 is performed.
If the determination result is "No", it is determined that the gaming machine is already in the gaming state after the jackpot occurrence condition is satisfied, skipping steps S1306 to S1312, proceeding to step S1314, and thereafter, The routine ends (at this time, the opening control of the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 based on the ON signal from the switch SW2 in which the loop has occurred this time is not performed).

When the result of the determination in step S1304 is “Yes”, that is, when the jackpot occurrence condition has not been satisfied, first, the above-described open / close determination flag FLGST is set to “1” in step S1306, and the process proceeds to step S1308. Then, the operation of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 counterclockwise to open the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is started (CCW ON). In the next step S1310, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the motor switch MSW2 has become H level (ON), that is, whether or not the doll clothes door 130 has been opened.

While the determination result of step S1310 is “No”,
It is determined that the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 has not been completely opened yet, and the subsequent steps S1312 and S1314 are skipped, the present routine is terminated, and the process returns to the main routine.

In the next and subsequent loops, the open / close determination flag FLGST is “1”
, The determination result of step S1300 is “Yes”, and the process is executed from step S1308.

When the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is sufficiently opened by the operation of the opening / closing motor 172, and the determination result in the step S1310 turns to “Yes”, the operation of the opening / closing motor 172 is stopped in a step S1312, and in step S1314, Open / close determination flag FLGST
Is reset to "0", this routine ends, and the routine returns to the main routine.

Next, in steps S42 to S54 of the main routine, the variable prize winning device 10 performed according to the value of the process No.
Will be described with reference to FIGS. 44 to 49.

The operation control process of the variable winning device is a normal process executed when the process No. is “0”, and a SW1 process (SW1PR) executed when the process No. is “1”.
C).

SW permission processing (SWEN) executed when the processing number is “2”
A).

Big hit wait processing (HITWAIT) executed when the processing No. is "3".

Jackpot processing (HITPR) executed when the processing number is "4"
C).

Wait processing (WAI) executed when the processing number is "5"
TPRC).

Illegal processing executed when the processing number is "6" (INJPR
C), and so on.

Hereinafter, each processing content corresponding to the processing No. will be described in detail.

When the power of the pachinko gaming machine is turned on, the process No. is reset to "0" in step S12 of the main routine (FIG. 24), so that in a loop immediately after that, steps S42 to S52 of the main routine are executed. Are all "No", and ordinary processing (FIG. 44) is executed in step S54.

This usual processing (USULLY) is performed when the gaming machine is operating normally (variable prize device variable wings 101, 101, doll clothes opening and closing door 130,
This is executed when both the stop device entrance door 111 and the exit door 112 are stopped).

When this ordinary processing is executed, first, in step S1320
In the next step S1322, the gaming machine 1 is in the power-on operation immediately after the power is turned on (power is turned on). At the same time, the doll clothes opening / closing door and the stop device entrance / exit door in the variable winning device perform preliminary operations.)
Is determined. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, it is determined that the pachinko game by the player has not yet been started, and the routine ends without executing the subsequent steps S1324 and S1326.

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step S1322 is “No”, it is determined in a step S1324 whether or not the output signal from the start winning switch SW1 has risen to the H level (whether the signal has been turned on). While the determination result is “No”, the subsequent step S1326 is skipped, and the present routine is terminated.
The process moves to steps SS56 and S58 of the main routine. When the normal processing is repeatedly performed, the game ball fired in the game area 4 wins the starting winning opening 8, 8 and the step S
When the determination result of 1324 changes to “Yes”, in step S1326, the process number previously set to “0” is set to “1”, and the SW1 process (FIG. 45) described later is performed. The count value of the processing timer used for discrimination etc. is a predetermined time (2 sec)
, Etc., and then the routine ends, and the process proceeds to steps S56 and S58 of the main program.

As described above, during the normal processing, the game ball starts the winning prize 8,
8 and the process No. is set to “1”, the next time the main routine is executed,
The determination result of step S42 in FIG. 9 turns to “Yes”, and the SW1 process is started.

This SW1 process is a process in which the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable prize device perform one opening / closing operation each time one game ball wins in the starting winning opening 8, 8 according to the flow of FIG. Done.

When the SW1 process is started, first, the display mode of the two display units (the first segment 105a and the second segment 105b) of the cycle number display 105 installed on the game board 3 is changed to a predetermined mode (both right and left). The processing is set to "0" (step S1330), and then a predetermined time set in the processing timer (at this point, step S1326 of the ordinary processing described above)
It is determined whether or not the predetermined time (2 seconds) set in the step has been counted up) (step
S1332). While the result of this determination is “No”, the step
This routine ends without executing the processing after S1334 (at this time, the solenoids A, A for opening and closing the movable wing piece are turned off).

After the lapse of the predetermined time (2 sec), the step S1332
Turns to "Yes", the value of the continuation counter (the counter counts the number of cycles during the big hit game) is reset to "0" in step S1334, and the process proceeds to step S1336 to execute the special winning opening. (V zone) The SW3 detection permission flag VSWFG for effectively processing the detection signal from the special winning switch SW3 provided in the 103 is set to “1”.
Further, in the next step S1338, the solenoids A and A are excited (O
N) / Deceleration (OFF) solenoid counter SOLCNT, which counts the number of times of switching, is incremented by "1", then step
In S1340, the ON / OFF state of the solenoids A, A is switched (in this case, the demagnetization (OFF) is switched to the excitation (ON) and the movable blade is opened), and the determination in step S1342 is performed.

In step S1342, it is determined whether or not the opening / closing control (one opening / closing in the present embodiment) of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 corresponding to one winning prize ball that has won the winning prize openings 8, 8, ie, whether the solenoid A, After A is excited (ON) and the movable wing is opened, it is determined whether or not the solenoids A and A are demagnetized (OFF) and the movable wing is closed.

When the result of this determination is “No”, that is, the movable wing pieces 101, 101
If has not been closed yet, the value of the processing timer is set to a predetermined time (500 msec), and this routine is ended as it is.

In the next and subsequent loops, the moving wings 101, 10
Excitation (ON) of the solenoids A, A for releasing 1 is continuously performed for a predetermined time (500 msec) set in the processing timer. During that time, the determination result of the step S1332 is “No”, and the step S1330 is performed. , S1332 only are repeatedly executed. If the determination result of step S1332 changes to “Yes” after the lapse of the predetermined time, the steps S1334 to S1334
1340 is executed again. In this case, step S1340
, Solenoids A and A are demagnetized (OF) from the excited (ON) state.
The state is switched to the state F), and control is performed in the direction in which the movable blade pieces 101, 101 are closed.

When the opening / closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 based on the winning of the game ball into the starting winning prize openings 8, 8 is completed, the determination result of the step S1342 changes to "Yes", and the processing of the steps S1346 to S1352 is performed. It is.

First, in step S1346, the process No. is set to “2” to start the switch permission process described later, and step S1346 is executed.
Movable wings 101, 101 performed up to this point in 1348
In the next step S1350, in order to make the ON signal from the special winning switch SW3 valid for a predetermined time after the opening and closing operation of the movable wing piece is completed in step S1350. SW3 permission control processing described above (Fig. 28)
The value of the SW3 detection flag VFG used for discrimination of “1” is set to “1”, and the special prize switch SW3 is set in step S1352.
The SW3 valid time timer for counting the time for which the ON signal is made valid is set to a predetermined time (for example, 4 sec), and this routine ends.

In the next and subsequent loops, the processing No.
Is set to “2”, so that step S4 of the main routine
The determination result of step 2 is “No”, and the determination result of step S44 is “Yes”
And the SW permission process (FIG. 46) is executed.

This SW permission processing (SWENA) is performed after the above-mentioned SW1 processing is completed.
The predetermined time (4 seconds) set in step S1352 of the SW1 process
ec) is a process performed until the elapse of
By executing the permission process, the doll-clothes opening / closing door 130 opened by the above-described SW setting process (FIG. 43) is moved to the movable wing piece which is performed when the game ball wins the starting winning opening.
The predetermined time (3 sec) from the end of opening / closing operation of 101, 101
It closes again after the passage of time.

When this routine is started, first, in step S1360, a process of displaying the number of cycles on the cycle number indicator provided on the game board 3 is performed, and then, in step S136
At 2, it is determined whether or not a new game ball has been won in the starting winning openings 8,8 (whether or not SW1 is on).

If the determination result is “Yes”, the process proceeds to the usual process (USULLY) without executing the process after step S1364, and the opening / closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 based on the SW1 being enabled is enabled (at this time, the doll clothes If the door 130 is opened, that state is maintained).

On the other hand, if the determination result in step S1362 is “No”,
Proceeding to step S1364, it is determined whether the SW3 valid time timer is “0” (whether the time is up). If this determination result is "No", that is, if the predetermined time (4 seconds) has not yet elapsed after the completion of the above-described SW1 process (FIG. 45), the process proceeds to step S1366 and continues until the timer expires. It is determined whether or not the remaining time is one second. While this determination result is “No”, the following step S
This routine is ended without performing step 1368. On the other hand, when the remaining time is one second and the determination result turns to "Yes", in step S1368, the opening / closing motor 172 is turned clockwise to start the operation of the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 in the closing direction. Rotation (CW ON) is started, and then the present routine is terminated (if the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is already closed at this point, the present routine is terminated as it is).

The closing operation of the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is performed (this operation is completed in at least one second), and when the predetermined time (4 seconds) elapses (when the SW3 valid time timer times out), the above-described step S1364 is performed. Is "Yes", the process No. is set to "0" in step S1370, and then the above-described ordinary process (USULLY) is executed.

By the way, during the execution of the SW permission processing described above (at this time, processing N
o. is "2"), and when the game ball wins in the special winning opening (V zone) (a big hit occurs), the processing No. is forcibly set to "3" by executing the SW3 detection processing. So
Even during the SW permission process, the process is forcibly shifted to a jackpot wait process (FIG. 47) described later.

Note that the execution of step S1368 causes the doll clothes opening / closing door 1
When the big hit occurs and the big hit weight processing is started before 30 is closed, the subsequent processing is performed with the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 kept open.

As described above, during the execution of the SW1 process or the SW permission process, when the game ball wins the special winning opening (V zone) 103 and the process No. is set to “3” in the SW3 detection process, the subsequent process is performed. In the loop, the determination result of step S46 of the main routine is “Ye
s "and the big hit weight process (FIG. 47) is executed.

The big hit weight processing (HITWAIT) is performed for a predetermined time from when the game ball wins the special winning opening (V zone) 103 to when the continuous opening / closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 in the big hit game state is actually started. This is a process for providing an interval of (5 sec). During this big hit weight processing, preliminary opening / closing operation (big hit weight operation) of the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 and the stopping device entrance / exit doors in the variable winning device described above. (Operation control by “MOT-40” to “MOT-80” in the motor control process described above).

When the big hit weight processing (HITWAIT) is started, first, a process of displaying the number of continuations (the number of cycles) in the big hit game state by the cycle number display 105 is performed (step S1380). It is determined whether or not the loop is immediately after the shift to the big hit weight processing (step S1382). The result of this determination is “Yes”
In step S1384, the process timer is set to a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), and in step S1386, the value of the control variable MCTL1 is set so that the motor control process (FIG. 29) is started from the "MOT-40" process. It is set to "4" (step S1386), and thereafter, the processing timer is decremented (step S1388). Subsequently, as a result of the decrement, it is determined whether or not the processing timer has timed out (step S1390).

As long as the determination result is “No”, output processing of a sound effect (fan fare) corresponding to the big hit weight processing is performed (step S1392), and this routine ends.

When this routine is continuously executed in the next and subsequent loops, the result of the determination in step S1382 is “No”, and steps S1384 and S1386 are skipped and step S1388 is performed.
Perform more processing.

Such processing is performed for the predetermined time (5 sec), and when the result of the determination in step S1390 turns to “Yes”, in step S1394, the continuation counter indicating the number of continuations of the cycle in the big hit game state is set. "1" is added to the value, and the process No. is set to "4" (step S1396), and this routine ends.

When a predetermined time (5 sec) elapses after the jackpot occurrence condition is satisfied (SW3 is turned on) and the process No. is set to “4”, step S48 of the main routine (FIG. 24) is performed.
Is "Yes", and the big hit processing (FIG. 48) is executed.

This big hit processing (HITPRC) is a continuous winning and closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device (up to 18 opening / closing operations are performed in one operation).
Cycle, provided that the game ball is in a cycle of 10
This is a process for ending the game at the time of winning.

When this routine is started, first, in step S1400, a process of displaying the number of cycles at this time on the cycle number display 105 is performed, and then the value of the opening / closing process timer is reduced (step S1402). At this time, the processing timer switches ON / OFF of the solenoids A, A during the continuous opening / closing operation of the movable wing pieces in the big hit game state (a predetermined time (for example, 800 msec)
It is used to alternately excite (ON) / demagnetize (OFF) each time.

In the next step S1404, it is determined whether or not the jackpot game has reached the final (16) cycle at this time (the number of continuations is “1”).
5 "). The result of this determination is" N
In the case of o "(1st to 15th cycles), the control variable MCTL1 used in the motor control process (Fig. 29) is set to" 9 "in order to execute the control of the doll's clothes opening / closing door in accordance with the 1st to 15th cycles. On the other hand, when the determination result is “Yes” (16 cycles), the control variable MCTL1 is executed to execute the control of the doll's clothes opening / closing door in accordance with the final cycle (step S1406).
Is set to “10” (step S1408), and step S1410
Proceed to the subsequent processing.

In step S1410, it is determined whether the processing timer has expired. Since this processing timer is already “0” during execution of the jackpot wait processing, step S141
The determination result of “0” is “Yes”, and the processing of steps S1412 to S1418 is executed.

First, in step S1412, the processing timer used for the determination in step S1410 is set to a predetermined time (for example, 800 msec). Next, in step S1414, the operating states of the solenoids A and A are reversed (in the first loop after the occurrence of the big hit, After the demagnetization (OFF) is switched to the excitation (ON), and the value of the solenoid counter SOLCNT that counts the number of times of switching of the solenoids A and A is incremented by "1" (step S141).
6) In step S1418, the above solenoid counter SOLCNT
It is determined whether or not the value of has become "35".

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, the number of times of opening and closing of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 per cycle in the big hit gaming state is up to 18 times. Therefore, the movable wing piece is 18
At the time when the opening operation of the second operation is started (by this point, the on / off state of the solenoids A and A is switched 35 times), the determination result is changed to “Yes”, and a later-described step S142 is performed.
The processing after 6 is executed.

While the determination result of step S1418 is “No”,
Proceeding to step S1420, a ten-count control process is performed to detect the number of game balls won in the variable winning device 10 based on the output signals of the ten-count switches SW4A and SW4B.
It is determined whether the output signals of SW4A and SW4B have become H level (ON) (step S1422).

If the decision result in the step S1422 is "No", this routine is terminated without executing the following step S1424. On the other hand, when the determination result is “Yes”, in step S1424, it is determined whether or not the winning number TENCNT of the game balls obtained by the ten count control process has reached “10”. While this determination result is “No”, this routine is terminated as it is, and when it becomes “Yes”, the processing of step S1426 and the subsequent steps described later is executed.

According to the above-mentioned flow, the game ball wins the special winning opening (V zone) 103, and in a loop immediately after the start of the big hit processing, the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device are opened for a predetermined time. Excitation (ON) of the solenoids A, A is started (switching from OFF to ON in step S1414).

Until a predetermined time (800 msec) elapses after the excitation (ON) of the solenoids A, A is started, the aforementioned step S1410
Is "No", and the process proceeds to step S1420 and subsequent steps without executing steps S1412 to S1418 (at this time, the movable wing pieces 101, 101 are held in the open state).

When the determination result of step S1410 turns to “Yes” after the lapse of the predetermined time, the processing timer is set to the predetermined time (800 ms
After setting to c) (step S1412), ON / OFF switching processing of the solenoids A, A in step S1414 is performed.

At this time, the solenoids A, A are switched from the ON state to the OFF state, so that the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device are driven in the closing direction. Thereafter, the movable blade piece is driven from open to closed or from open to closed every predetermined time (800 msec).

Such ON / OFF switching operation of the solenoids A, A is repeated 35 times (solenoid counter = “35”) or before that, the ten count switches SW4A, SW4B detect ten winning balls ( Ten count counter = "1"
If any of the conditions of “0”) is satisfied, the processing after step S1426 is performed to end the big hit gaming state.

First, in step S1426, the lamp and LED set on the game board 3 are returned to the normal lighting / flashing state (LED / lamp initial). In the next step S1428, the aforementioned control variable MCTL1 is set to "11" in order to make the operation of the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 in the motor control process the operation at the end of the big hit (big hit end operation). The solenoids A, A are demagnetized (OFF) to close 101, 101 (step S1430).

In the next step S1432, it is determined whether or not the continuous opening / closing operation performed so far is the operation in the final cycle (16 cycles) (whether the continuation counter is "15").

If the determination result is “No” (1 to 15 cycles), in step S1434, the process No. is executed to execute the later-described wait process (FIG. 49) in the main routine.
Is set to “5”, and the processing after step S1438, ie,
The value of the aforementioned SW3 detection flag VFG is set to “1” (step S1438), and the SW3 valid time timer is set to a predetermined time (for example, 4
c) (step S1440), execute weight processing initials for executing weight processing described later (step S1442), and then stop the sound effect (step S1440).
1446), this program ends.

On the other hand, when the determination result of step S1432 is “Yes” (at the last cycle), the process No. is set to “0” to execute the normal process in the subsequent main routine (step S1444), and Step S1446 is executed, and this routine ends.

As described above, when a big hit occurs and the big hit game state is started, a wait process described later is performed at the end of the continuous opening / closing operation from the first cycle to the fifteenth cycle (FIG. 49).
Is executed, and when the continuous opening / closing operation of the last (16) cycle is completed, the big hitting game state is ended and the routine is shifted to the normal processing.

By the way, the process performed at the end of the continuous opening / closing operation of 1 to 15 cycles is a special winning opening (V zone) 103 for a predetermined time (the count time of the SW3 valid timer) when the condition for ending the big hit game state is satisfied. The presence or absence of a winning game ball is detected, and if a winning occurs during this processing, the big hit gaming state can be further continued. Note that if a game ball wins in the special winning opening (V zone) 103 before the condition for ending the big hit gaming state (18 opening / closing or 10 counting ends) is satisfied, the above-described SW3 detection processing ( By executing (FIG. 28), the process No. is immediately set to "3", and the operation control in the big hit game state is performed from the above-described big hit weight processing (FIG. 47).

When the process No. is set to "5" as described above, a wait process (FIG. 49) is executed. This wait processing (WAIT
First, in step S1450, the stop device exit door 11
Excitation (ON) of solenoid C is performed to open 2
Count value of the above-mentioned continuation number counter (number of cycles)
Is displayed by the cycle number display 105 (step S1452), and then the processing timer set to a predetermined time (4 sec) at the end of the big hit processing is decremented (step S1454).

In the next step S1456, it is determined whether or not the processing timer has timed out, and as long as the determination result is “No”, monitoring processing in step S1458 and thereafter is performed.

This monitoring process counts a predetermined time (e.g., 2.998 seconds) after the end of the big hit process, and counts a ten count from the start of the big hit process until the predetermined time (2.988 seconds) elapses after the big hit process ends. The determination is made as to whether or not the fraud has occurred, based on whether or not the switches SW4A and SW4B have never been turned ON.

First, in step S1458, the predetermined time (2.988 sec)
It is determined whether or not has elapsed. While the determination result is “No”, the ten-count switch S is determined in step S1460.
Input processing of the output signals of W4A and SW4B (10-count control) is performed, and then this routine ends.

The 10-count control for the predetermined time (2.988 sec) is completed, and the determination result in step S1458 is "Yes".
Then, proceed to step S1462, and stop device entrance door 1
11. In order to close both the exit doors 112, the solenoids B and C are demagnetized (OFF), and then, in step S1464, it is determined whether or not the value of the ten count counter TENCNT at this time is “0”. Is done.

The result of this determination is "Yes", that is, after the continuous opening and closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 in the big hit game state is started, the opening and closing operation ends, and thereafter, the predetermined time (2.998se
c) Despite the passage of time, the ten count switch SW4A,
When no winning of the game ball is detected by SW4B, the variable winning device 10, the ten-count switch SW4A, SW4
It is determined that something is wrong with B etc., and step S1468
Remember that at (No count illegal initials),
This routine ends.

On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S1464 is “No”, that is,
If it is detected by the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B that the game ball has won in the variable winning device 10 before the predetermined time (2.998 sec) elapses, the process proceeds to step S1460 to perform ten count control. Then, this routine ends.

When the winning of the game ball into the variable winning device 10 is detected as described above, the step is performed until the processing timer times out.
Steps S1450 to S1458, S1462, S1464, and S1460 are repeatedly executed.

The predetermined time (4 sec) set in the processing timer
Has elapsed and the determination result in step S1456 turns to “Yes”, the subsequent routine performs the above-described ordinary processing (step S1456).
In step S1466, the processing N
o. is set to “0” and this routine ends.

It has become. Further, in this case, the game can be enjoyed for a long time until the fired game ball reaches the lower side. Further, since the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 is installed below the variable prize winning device 10, a game ball likely to win the variable prize winning device 10 does not win the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50.

Further, in this embodiment, the natural winning prize port 5 is used as a specific prize port for operating the auxiliary variable prize apparatus 50, and the starting prize port is provided on the left and right sides relatively below the center of the lower side of the game board. Therefore, when the player fires the game ball, the player can aim at the specific winning opening while also aiming at the starting winning opening.

In the present embodiment, the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is installed at the lower center of the game board 3 (just below the variable winning device 10).
The present invention is not limited to this, and the installation location may be the installation position of the general winning openings (8 holes) 7, 7 in this embodiment. In the case of such installation, as shown in FIG. 50, when the movable members 51, 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 are opened, the movable members 51, 51 are opened.
A positional relationship such that the game ball that has been flipped outward upon hitting 51 is guided inside the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the open variable winning device 10 (the position of the auxiliary variable winning device is changed as shown in the drawing). 51, or conversely, as shown in FIG. 51, when the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device 10 are opened, ), The positional relationship is such that the game ball flipped is guided to the inside of the movable members 51, 51 of the variable winning device 10 in the open state (the position of the variable winning device is changed from the position of the auxiliary variable winning device as shown in the figure). Slightly higher).

Further, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 may be installed at the mounting position of the winning prize port 5 of the present embodiment. In this case, the variable winning device 10
The game ball can be guided to the auxiliary variable prize device 50 side without being affected by the operation / non-operation of.

Further, as the mounting position of the auxiliary variable winning device 50, the mounting position of the starting winning opening 8, 8 of the game board 3, or the general winning opening
The mounting positions 9 and 9 can be used.

Further, in the present embodiment, the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is installed immediately below the variable winning device 10 of the game board.
The 50 may be installed on the lower right side of the variable winning device 10 so that the base of the game ball can be raised by right-handing.

In this embodiment, as a second variable prize device, a variable prize device (first variable prize device) and an auxiliary variable prize device 50 having a different opening width are provided separately and independently, but one variable prize device is provided. The apparatus may function as the first and second variable winning apparatuses to reduce the cost of the gaming machine. In this case, when the variable winning device is used as a first variable winning device, two movable wings provided on the device are rotated together, and when used as a second variable winning device, two movable wing pieces are rotated. Only one (left side) of the movable wing pieces can be rotated to provide two winning openings having an opening width (when using as the second variable winning device, the special winning opening is not treated as a V zone. ). In addition, in such a case, when the variable winning device is functioning as the first variable winning device, the function of the specific winning opening is stopped in preparation for the case where both functions in the game are duplicated (second case).
The function as the variable winning device is prohibited), and when functioning as the second variable winning device, the function of the starting winning opening is stopped (the operation as the first variable winning device is prohibited). If a game ball wins in the starting winning opening while functioning as the second variable winning device, the device functions as the first variable winning device, forcibly switching to the function as the first variable winning device. In this case, when a game ball wins a specific winning opening, it is more effective to perform a process such as forcibly switching to a function as a second variable winning device.

Further, the auxiliary variable winning device 10 of the present embodiment has a pair of movable members 51, 51, and the movable balls 51, 51 are rotated outward so as to be separated from each other, so that the game ball is placed in the inside thereof. Although it is designed to make it easy to win, without being limited to such a configuration, as the auxiliary variable winning device, for example, a collection shelf for collecting launched game balls is stored inside the game board,
The so-called "attacker type", which is configured to appropriately push out the front side of the game board 3 and collect the game balls, a vertically long guide member for guiding the game balls is rotatably provided above the winning opening and on the left and right sides thereof. It is arranged on both sides, and this guide member is usually made into a "C" shape, and when it is operated, it is rotated to make an inverted "C" shape, so that a so-called "gate switching method" to facilitate winning of game balls. A guide member is installed on both the left and right sides of the winning opening and below the winning opening, and by turning the guide member upward, the two guide surfaces are turned into an inverted "C" shape. It is also possible to apply a "guiding member type" or the like.

Further, in this embodiment, the auxiliary variable winning device is used as a condition device for opening and closing the doll clothes opening / closing door 130, but the auxiliary variable winning device exemplified as a starting winning device is a movable wing piece of the variable winning device. May be used as a condition device for rotating.

In the present embodiment, the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is opened only once over a predetermined time (0.8 sec) when the result of the variable display game by the variable display game device 52 is “hit”. However, the opening operation may be performed a plurality of times. If the opening time of the auxiliary variable prize winning device is limited (for example, 6 seconds), the opening operation (for example, opening for 2 seconds three times) may be performed within such a limit. Then, the opening operation may be completed once (opening for 6 seconds once).

As an example of performing the opening operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 in a plurality of times as described above, when operating the auxiliary variable winning device in the big hit game state, the variable winning device
It is more effective to perform the opening operation of the movable members 51, 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 in synchronization with the opening operation of the ten movable wing pieces 101, 101 (the opening operation and the closing operation are alternately repeated every 0.8 seconds). It is a target. In this case, a predetermined time lag corresponding to a time required for the game ball to flow between the auxiliary variable prize device 50 and the variable prize device 10 may be provided at the start timing of both opening operations. When the time lag is provided in this manner, when the game ball fired in the game area passes near the auxiliary variable winning device 50, the device 50 is opened, and when the game ball passes near the variable winning device 10, the device 10 is opened. The opening operation of both is performed efficiently when the opening is performed.

The timing of opening the auxiliary variable winning device 50 in the big hit gaming state may be during a big hit wait state from the end of one cycle of continuous opening / closing operation to the transition to the next cycle. In this case, if a game ball wins in a specific winning opening during a continuous opening / closing operation of one cycle, that fact is stored, and after the cycle ends (after shifting to a wait state), an auxiliary variable winning is achieved. The device 50 is opened. As a result, a game state advantageous to the player is achieved by opening the auxiliary variable winning device during the wait time in the big hit game state, so that the game time can be used effectively. Thus, the auxiliary variable winning device
Also when operating 50, the time lag corresponding to the time that the game ball flows from the variable winning device 10 to the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is between the end of the operation of the variable winning device 10 and the operation start timing of the auxiliary variable winning device 50. Is more effective.

When the gaming machine is in the jackpot gaming state, when the gaming ball wins the specific winning opening, the fact (when there are a plurality of winnings, the number thereof) is stored, and the jackpot gaming state is completely completed. After the completion, the opening operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 may be performed.

The auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 of the present embodiment is opened only once for a predetermined time (0.8 sec). However, according to a change in the gaming state, for example, in a normal gaming state, the auxiliary variable prize winning apparatus 50 is opened. If the device 50 is opened,
0.5 sec, open time 6.0 s when big hitting
It is possible to make various changes such as ec (to obtain a further opportunity to acquire a prize ball in a jackpot game state).

As a condition for returning the changed operating time (6 sec) of the auxiliary variable prize device 50 to the normal operation time (0.8 sec), the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable prize device are set after the operation time is set to 6 sec. When opened a predetermined number of times (10 times)
After the operation time is set to 6 seconds, when a predetermined time (10 min) has elapsed, after the operation time is set to 6 seconds, when a predetermined number of game balls are fired, after the operation time is set to 6 seconds, When a predetermined number of out balls, the operation time is 6s
After setting to ec, when there is a predetermined number of safe balls, it is possible.

Further, the opening time of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is changed according to the game result of the variable display game, that is, the symbol displayed by the variable display game device is a specific symbol (for example, “3”, “7”).
Can be set by changing the operation time from 0.8 sec to 6 sec, for example.

The operation time (6 sec) set in this way is set to 6 sec similarly to the above-described condition, and then, when the movable wing piece of the variable winning device is opened a predetermined number of times (10 times), the predetermined time (10 seconds)
The normal operation time (0.8 sec) is returned when e.g. min) has elapsed, when a predetermined number of game balls have been fired, when there are a predetermined number of out balls, when there are a predetermined number of safe balls, and so on.

In addition, the opening time of the auxiliary variable prize device 50 of the present embodiment may be changed stepwise according to the game result of the variable display game of the auxiliary variable prize device 50. in this case,
The operation time of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 is, for example, 1 second when the symbol is "1", 2 seconds when the symbol is "2", and when the symbol is "3", in accordance with the symbol displayed by the variable display game device.
3sec, 4sec for "4", 5sec for "5",
For "6", it can be set to 6 seconds.

In this embodiment, the variable display game is always performed by the auxiliary variable winning device 50 on condition that the game ball has won the specific winning opening 5, and the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is operated based on the result. However, the winning of the game ball to the specific winning opening may be enabled / disabled according to the change of the gaming state of the gaming machine. As an example, in a normal gaming state, only a prize ball is ejected by the award of a gaming ball to the specific winning opening 5, and when the gaming machine is in the jackpot gaming state, the gaming ball enters the specific winning opening 5. On condition that a prize is won, a variable display game may be played, or processing such as opening the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 for a predetermined time (6 seconds) may be performed. Done). As described above, when the big hitting game state is generated, the specific winning prize port 5 which is determined to be effective for performing the variable display game (or activating the auxiliary variable prize winning device) by the occurrence of the big hit game state is, for example, the following condition. Again, it functions as a general winning port (winning port only for discharging the prize ball). In other words, when the jackpot game state occurs again, after the function as the specific winning opening becomes effective, when the movable wing piece of the variable winning device is opened a predetermined number of times, the function as the specific winning opening becomes effective. Thereafter, when a predetermined time has elapsed, after a predetermined number of game balls have been fired after the function as a specific winning opening has been activated, and when a function as a specific winning opening has been activated, a predetermined number of out balls have been activated. For example, when a predetermined number of safe balls are provided after the function as the specific winning opening becomes effective.

In this embodiment, the “hit” occurrence probability of the variable display game executed by the variable display game device executed when the game ball wins in the specific winning opening 5 is determined by a predetermined setting operation using the random number setting switch 690. After that, this value is fixed until the operation of the random number setting switch is performed again. However, the occurrence probability can be changed according to the gaming state of the gaming machine. As an example, in a normal gaming state, the hit occurrence probability is set to a relatively small value (for example, 1/10), and when the gaming machine enters the big hit gaming state, the hit occurrence probability is set to a relatively large value. (For example, 1/3).
As described above, once a big hit occurs, a large value (1 /
The hit occurrence probability set in 3) is set to the original value (1/10) when, for example, the following condition is satisfied. That is,
After that, when the big hitting game state occurs again, after being set to a relatively large value (1/3), when the movable wing of the variable winning device is opened a predetermined number of times, after being set to the above-mentioned large value, the predetermined time is set. When elapses, after a predetermined number of game balls are fired after being set to the large value, when a predetermined number of out balls are set after being set to the large value,
This is, for example, when there is a predetermined number of safe balls after the large value is set.

Further, in the present embodiment, the opened auxiliary variable winning device 50 is opened.
In order to increase the probability of winning in the V zone, the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 is operated on the condition that the game ball has won a game, but the method of increasing the probability of winning in the V zone is not limited thereto. The variable winning device 10 which is rotated only once by the winning of the game ball into the starting winning opening, is rotated twice by the winning of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 exemplified as the starting winning means, so that the V zone is changed. The winning probability may be increased.

Also, when the gaming machine is in the jackpot gaming state, the number of gaming balls that have won the specific winning opening is stored, and the assistance is provided only when the jackpot gaming state performed at that time does not reach the final cycle. The variable winning device 50 may be operated.

The auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 of the present embodiment is configured to be closed when a predetermined time (for example, 0.8 sec) has elapsed after being opened. ) May be closed on condition that the game balls have won.

Further, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 installed as a winning probability adjusting means in the present embodiment can slide in the left and right direction of the game board 3, and when the opening / closing door 130 is opened, the game balls are gathered from the center. Therefore, the winning rate of the game ball into the V zone is increased by flowing down the second flow guide shelf, but if the flow path of the game ball can be changed toward the V zone, The opening / closing door may be operated in any manner (such as changing the slide direction up and down to change the flow path, or rotating this to change the flow path).

Further, in the present embodiment, game balls flowing down to the winning opening installation section 121 are gathered near the center (closer to the V zone) by the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 installed as a winning probability adjusting means, and winning in the V zone. Although the probability is increased, the winning probability adjusting means is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the second means for forming the flow path of the game ball can be used as long as it can adjust the winning probability to the V zone. The downflow guide shelf is composed of two left and right plate members, which are normally formed in a "F" shape, and the game balls are dispersed on both the left and right sides of the winning opening installation portion 121 to increase the winning rate. Various modifications are conceivable, for example, by converting to a "-" shape so that the game balls are gathered at the center to easily win the V zone.

Further, in this embodiment, the winning probability adjusting means for adjusting the winning probability of the game ball to the special winning opening (V zone) 103 is constituted by the doll clothes opening / closing door 130, but the winning probability can be increased. As long as it is not limited to such a configuration, for example, the left and right partition plates of the winning opening installation portion forming the special winning opening (V zone) 103 are configured to be slidable, and a predetermined game condition is established. At that time, the interval is appropriately changed, or another winning opening (for example, general winning openings 104, 104 provided on both sides of the special winning opening) is provisionally made to function as a special winning opening (V zone). A method of appropriately increasing the number of V zones themselves may be used.

Further, in the present embodiment, the doll clothes opening / closing door (winning probability adjusting means) 130 is opened on condition that the game ball has won the auxiliary variable winning device 50, but is not limited to this. Various conditions for opening the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 are conceivable as follows. That is, when the game result of the variable display game device installed in the auxiliary variable prize winning device is “hit”,
When a game ball wins at a specific winning port other than (eg, a winning port) or a specific gate, a predetermined number of game balls (eg,
(100 pieces), when fired (regardless of the presence or absence of a prize ball in the auxiliary variable prize device), the number of prize balls that have won all the prize holes installed in the game board 3 becomes a predetermined number (for example, 50). When the number of out balls reaches a predetermined number, when the number of game balls fired becomes a predetermined number of consecutive out balls, the winning number of game balls to the starting winning opening 8, 8 has reached a predetermined value. Sometimes, etc. can be considered.

In the present embodiment, the doll clothes opening / closing door (winning probability adjusting means) 130 elapses a predetermined time after the game ball first wins in the starting winning opening 8, 8 after the opening / closing door 130 is opened. When the doll clothes opening / closing door is closed, various conditions can be considered as follows, without being limited to this. That is, when the game ball wins the special winning opening (V zone) 103,
When a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses after a game ball actually wins in the variable winning device 10 (after the first winning game ball is detected by the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B), the auxiliary variable winning device When a game ball wins at a specific prize port other than (for example, a prize-winning port) or a specific gate, when a predetermined number of game balls are fired (regardless of the presence or absence of a prize ball to the auxiliary variable prize device 50), When the number of winning balls that have won all the winning holes installed on the game board 3 reaches a predetermined number, when the out balls reach a predetermined number, the number of game balls fired becomes a continuous number of out balls. When the winning number of game balls to the starting winning opening reaches a predetermined value,
When the game result obtained by the variable display game device installed in the auxiliary variable winning device is “hit”, when a game ball wins in the auxiliary variable winning device 50, and the like are considered.

Further, in the present embodiment, only when the result of the variable display game performed on condition that the game ball enters the specific winning opening 5 is a hit, the movable members 51, 5

However, the present invention is not limited to this.
A plurality of winning ports (for example, 10) are set as general winning ports until nine gaming balls win (the V winning is ignored), and the tenth gaming ball is set up. When a prize is won, all three prize ports may be tentatively treated as special prize ports (V zone) to ensure that the big hit game continues.

In the variable winning device 10 of the present embodiment, a plurality of (three) winning ports 104, 103, 104 are installed in the winning port installation section 121, and one of them (winning port 103) is a special winning port (V zone). However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the variable winning device may be configured to change the width of the V zone itself, and the winning probability of the game ball to the V zone may be appropriately changed. A configuration in which a number of winning ports (for example, 12) are installed in the winning port installation section, and a portion of these winning ports is appropriately selected to form a V zone, and a rotating winning port is installed inside the variable winning device. An installation section may be provided, and each time one game ball wins, the game ball may be rotated by an interval of the winning opening installation width to take the game ball therein.

In addition, the cycle number display 105 of the present embodiment is provided with two 7-segment numerical value displays to display the number of cycles of 1 to 16, but the cycle number display is represented by one numerical value display. In such a case, when representing the number of cycles of 10 or more, only the ones digit of the number of 10 or more is displayed, and this number is made to blink. Or add color,
A method such as adding "." Is conceivable.

In the present embodiment, the variable display game device 52 is
Although a segment numerical display is used, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a dot display, a liquid crystal display, a display using a fluorescent display tube, and a mechanical game device (for example,

Various game machines such as a rotating drum game machine are applicable.

Further, in this embodiment, the variable display game device 52 is installed in the auxiliary variable winning device 50. However, the variable game device 52 is installed in the variable winning device 10 or separately provided in another position of the game board 3. Or may be installed in another winning device (winning opening).

In the above embodiment, one game ball is placed in the starting winning opening 8,8.
Each time a single prize is won, the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable prize winning device 10 become 1
Although opening and closing are performed, the number of times of opening and closing is not limited to this, and the opening and closing operation may be performed twice or more times.

The shapes of the starting winning openings 8, 8 are not limited to those of the present embodiment or the later-described modified example (see FIG. 52). For example, so-called “tulip type”, “chucker type”, “crown type” Various applications, such as a winning port of the game, are applicable.

Further, in this embodiment, when the game ball wins the starting winning opening 8,8, the movable wing pieces 101,101 of the variable winning device 10 are opened and closed a predetermined number of times (once) for a predetermined time. Alternatively, a variable indicator may be provided in the start winning openings 8, 8 to execute a variable display game by winning in the start winning opening, and the opening control of the movable wing piece may be performed according to the game result. Various modes of such control are conceivable as follows. That is, the display content of the variable display of the starting winning opening is always changed (symbol variation), the symbol is stopped on condition that the game ball has won the starting winning opening, and this symbol is a specific symbol (for example, When the numerical value of “0” to “9” is displayed, the movable wing pieces 101 of the variable winning device are rotated when the numerical value becomes “3” or “7”). ) To change the opening time of the movable wing piece (for example, in the case of an even number, the opening time is set to 0.
4 sec, 0.8 sec in the case of an odd number), the number of times of opening of the movable wing piece is changed according to the stopped symbol (for example, when the variable display displays a numerical value of “0” to “9”, the symbol is When it becomes "3" or "7", it is opened twice, otherwise it is opened once).

In the present embodiment, the special winning opening 5 provided at the upper part of the variable winning device is used as the specific winning opening for operating the auxiliary variable winning device 50. However, the detection that can detect the passage of the game ball is performed. Various variations can be considered as long as it has a section, such as using other general winning ports (for example, general winning ports 7, 7) as specific winning ports, or installing a dedicated detection gate therefor. If the specific winning opening is formed in a gate shape, the prize ball is not discharged even if the game ball passes through the gate, so that the game ball is easily passed through in order to facilitate the variable display game. Even if this is attached, there is an advantage that the base of the game does not rise.

Specifically, the specific winning opening is the starting winning opening 8,
8 The game ball flow path in the part called "Hakama" at the top, or
A specific gate for detecting game balls may be provided in the game ball flow path immediately above the start winning ports 8, 8, and this may be used as the specific winning port. Furthermore, a winning opening provided at a position called "sleeve" (in this embodiment, general winning devices 9, 9 called tulips are provided) may be set as a specific winning opening, or a specific winning opening may be provided at this position. A specific gate having the role of may be provided. It is also conceivable to use the general winning ports 7, 7 ("8 holes") of the present embodiment as specific winning ports. In this case, the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device 10 are open. Sometimes the movable wing piece 1
The game balls that have been flipped out of the variable winning device 10 by 01 and 101 are guided in the general winning ports 7 and 7 to increase the winning probability of the winning port, and the auxiliary variable winning device 50
Becomes easier to operate.

In the present embodiment, the winning opening 8,8
Is a starting winning opening, but the winning opening 8, 8 may be a specific winning opening. In this case, the winning ports 8, 8 may be provided with a function as a starting winning port as they are, or another general winning port may be used as a starting winning port,
A gate as a starting winning port may be separately provided at another position of the gaming board 3 so that these two functions are provided in different winning ports.

Further, a specific winning opening or a gate in place of the specific winning opening may be attached to the attachment position of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 of the present embodiment. In this case, the auxiliary variable winning device is attached to another position of the game board 3.

Further, the entire variable winning device 10 can be used as a specific winning opening. In this case, the ten count switch SW
Each time 4A and SW4B are turned ON, a game ball wins the specific winning opening, and accordingly, the variable display game by the variable display game machine 52 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is repeatedly executed.

In addition, the specific winning opening is set in the winning opening setting section of the variable winning device 10.
The special prize port 103 and the specific prize port can be set near each other in this case, so that both of them can be aimed at at the same time. The special winning opening (V zone) 103 may also function as a specific winning opening. The winning of a game ball to this special winning opening (V zone) 103 is likely to occur in a state where a jackpot game state is occurring, and when the game ball wins the special winning opening 103,
Since the continuation condition of the big hit game state is satisfied and the process moves to the next cycle, the operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 (such as the start of the movable display game) is performed at the time of transition from the cycle in the big hit game state to the cycle, Efficient games are played.

Further, in the present embodiment, an example is shown in which the starting winning openings 8, 8 are set at the so-called "drop" positions of the game board 3, but the present invention is not limited to this. A mouth may be installed and the number may be added.

Further, the starting winning opening may be set to the mounting position of the natural winning opening 5 installed near the center of the game board, or may be set to the mounting position of the general winning openings 7, 7 called "8 holes". By arranging the starting winning opening at a position near the center of the game board 3 in this manner, it becomes easy to shoot game balls at the center of the game board 3 and aim at them, and the spilled balls at this time are further increased. At the time of a big hit game state, etc., gathered in the vicinity of the variable prize apparatus 10, the probability that the spilled ball will win inside the variable prize apparatus 10 is increased, so that the game balls can be played more effectively.

52 to 54 show modified examples of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention.

FIG. 52 shows the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this modification.
FIG. 53 is an enlarged front view of one of the starting winning ports 1800, 1800 installed in the pachinko gaming machine of this modification, and FIG. 54 is an exploded perspective view of the starting winning port 1800.

In the pachinko gaming machine shown in this modification, the shape of the starting winning openings 1800, 1800 installed on the gaming board is different from that of the gaming machine shown in FIG. 1, and thus has other identical functions. The same reference numerals are given to the respective members, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The starting winning prize ports 1800 and 1008 of the first modified example are provided with game ball storing devices 1810 and 1810 for storing therein gaming balls that have won the starting prize ports. This game ball storage device 1810, 1810, the game ball winning the starting winning opening, 1
Each game ball is stored for a predetermined period of time (for example, 5 seconds), and thereafter, the game ball is detected by the start winning switch SW1.
Even if the game balls continuously win at 0, the detection signal (ON signal) is not continuously generated from the start winning switch SW1. The game ball storage device 1810 is provided in the starting winning opening 1800 for the following reason. That is, a general start winning opening (for example, a starting winning opening in FIG. 1)
In the case of using 8, 8), when one game ball wins the starting winning opening and the movable wing piece of the variable winning device starts to operate, the second game ball continues. When the player wins the game, the operations of the movable wing pieces performed in accordance with the winning of the second game ball are overlapped, and the second winning is substantially invalidated, or 2 due to the control procedure. It was necessary to invalidate the detection signal (ON signal) of the second winning ball. Therefore, in this modified example, even if the game balls are continuously won as described above, a predetermined time lag (5 sec) is provided until these winnings are detected to deal with these inconveniences. It is supposed to.
