It is designed to open and close between a closed state in which the game balls stand up at intervals enough to win a prize, and an open state in which the game balls are tilted to the left and right sides to open upwardly. First starting means 16,1
Reference numeral 7 denotes a pass gate type in which game balls pass from the top to the bottom on the front side of the game board 5, and are disposed on the left and right sides of the second starting means 15 above the lower device 14.

The upper device 13 includes a liquid crystal type second symbol display means 28 in addition to the upper winning opening 27 and the like. The second symbol display means 28 includes, for example, three (for example, three) symbol display portions in the left-right direction for randomly selecting and displaying numerical symbols from 0 to 9 by random number control. When a game ball wins and the detection switch detects the symbol, the symbol of each symbol display section fluctuates for a predetermined time and stops.

The lower device 14 has a pair of right and left normal winning openings 29, 3
In addition to the above, there is provided a large winning means 31 and a first symbol display means 32 which are vertically arranged between the pair of ordinary winning openings 29, 30. The first symbol display means 32 has, for example, one symbol display section for randomly selecting and displaying any of numeric figures from 0 to 9 by random number control, and a game ball passes through the first starting means 16 and 17. Then, the symbol on the symbol display unit fluctuates for a predetermined time and stops.

The special prize winning means 31 is a big prize winner, and has a special prize opening 33 opening in a rectangular shape long in the left-right direction, and an opening / closing plate 34 driven by a solenoid to open and close the special prize opening 33. The inside of the winning opening 33 is divided into three parts in the left-right direction, and a central part thereof is set as a specific area 35. Grand prize winning means 31

Alternatively, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the special winning opening 33, the opening and closing plate 34 is closed, and one game ball passes through the specific area 35 while the opening and closing plate 34 is open. The opening and closing operation is repeated up to a predetermined number of times (for example, up to 16 times) on the condition that the opening and closing operations are performed.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the control device. FIG.
In the figure, reference numeral 36 denotes a first random number generating means. For example, when the hit probability of the first symbol display means 32 is 1/2 and there are five types of hit symbols, random numbers from 0 to 9 are generated. It has become. Reference numeral 37 denotes a first random number determining means, which randomly selects a random number generated by the first random number generating means 36 when a game ball passes through the first starting means 16, 17 and determines whether the random number is a hit random number or an out-of-range random number. It is for.

Reference numeral 38 denotes first variation processing means for controlling the symbol variation operation of the first symbol display means 32. When the first starting means 16, 17 detects a game ball, the first symbol display means 32 starts the variation operation. Then, when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the change, the first symbol display means stops according to the result of the determination by the first random number determination means 37 in the case of a hit random number, and stops in the case of a non-hit random number, and in the case of a non-hit random number, respectively. It controls 32 fluctuation operations.

In this case, for example, the winning symbol is an odd symbol, the missing symbol is an even symbol, and the first variation processing means.
Numeral 38 designates one of a winning symbol and a missing symbol by random number processing in accordance with a winning random number and a missing random number, and causes the first symbol displaying means 32 to display the selected symbol.

Reference numeral 39 denotes a second random number generating means. For example, when the probability of occurrence of the second symbol display means 28 is 1/250,
Random numbers up to 250 times the number of random numbers per hit are generated. 40 is a second random number determining means, a second starting means
The random number generated by the second random number generating means when the 15 detection switches detect the game ball is randomly selected, and it is determined whether or not the random number is a jackpot random number, a reach random number, or an out-of-range random number.

Reference numeral 41 denotes second variation processing means for controlling the symbol variation operation of the second symbol display means 28. When the second starting means 15 detects a game ball, the second symbol display means 28 starts the variation operation. According to the determination result of the second random number determined by the second random number determination means 40, stop at a big hit symbol if the second random number is a jackpot random number, a reach symbol if the second random number is a random number, and a miss symbol if the second random number is a random number. Second symbol display means 28
Is controlled.

In this case, in the case of the jackpot symbol, all three symbols match, for example, "7 / 7.7", and the reach symbol differs in one of the three symbols. The three symbols are all different combinations, and the second variation processing means 41 randomly selects one of the jackpot symbol, the reach symbol, and the miss symbol by random number processing according to the jackpot random number, the reach random number, and the miss random number. It is designed to be displayed on the two symbol display means 28.

Reference numeral 42 denotes a first profit state generating means. The second random number determining means 40 determines the second random number as a big hit random number, and a big hit symbol in which all three stop symbols of the second symbol display means 28 match. When a big hit occurs, the big winning means 31 is opened and closed to generate a first profit state advantageous to the player. The first profit state generating means 42, after the occurrence of the big hit on the second symbol display means 28 side, the opening and closing
The large winning opening 33 is opened by 34, so that many of the game balls falling from above are controlled so as to easily win the large winning means 31, and one game ball passes through the specific area 35 during the opening. On condition that the player wins the game, the special winning means 31 is opened up to 16 times to return a great profit to the player.

Reference numeral 43 denotes second profit state generating means, which is configured to change the opening time of the second starting means 15 in accordance with the winning symbol on the first symbol displaying means 32, and to display a plurality of types of winning symbols. When the winning symbol is of a specific type, the opening time of the second starting means 15 is lengthened to generate a second profit state advantageous to the player.

That is, when the normal opening time of the second starting means 15 is, for example, 0.5 second, the second profit state generating means 43
A winning symbol determining unit 44 for determining the type of winning symbol after the variation of the first symbol displaying means 32;
An opening / closing control unit 45 that controls the opening / closing of the opening / closing claw 26 of the second starting means 15 according to the result of the determination at 44 according to a set time preset for each winning symbol.

Of the five types of winning symbols, the opening set time of the second starting means 15 for each winning symbol is symbol "1""5".
The time is set to 0.5 seconds for the symbol "9", 2.5 seconds for the symbol "3", and 3.0 seconds for the symbol "7". Therefore, when the hit symbol of the first symbol display means 32 is "3" or "7", the second starting means
Since the opening time of 15 is 5 to 6 times that of the symbol "1" or the like, a game ball can be easily won in the second starting means 15, so that the player can work advantageously.

In the second profit state generating means 43,
At the time of a specific winning symbol, the opening time of the second starting means 15 is set to be longer than normal (0.5 seconds).
The opening time of the starting means 15 may be shorter than usual, and the case where the opening time is longer and the case where the opening time is shorter may be combined.

Reference numeral 46 denotes a first variation time shortening command means. When the big hit symbol of the second symbol display means 28 becomes a specific symbol among the plurality of types of big hit symbols, the first symbol display means 32 is provided.
Is for reducing the fluctuation time of the first symbol display means 32 until the fluctuation operation is performed a predetermined number of times.

That is, the first fluctuation time shortening command means 46 determines whether or not the big hit symbol of the second symbol display means 28 is a specific symbol, and the specific symbol determination section 47 determines whether the specific symbol is a specific symbol. A counting unit 48 for counting the number of changes of the first symbol display means 32 after the determination, and a normal symbol for the first symbol display means 32 when the specific symbol determination unit 47 determines the specific symbol, for example, 30
It issues a shortening command to reduce the time from seconds to about 6 seconds.
The first symbol display unit 48 counts the number of times the fluctuating operation of the first symbol display unit 32 is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times), or when a big hit symbol is generated in the second symbol display unit 28 during the shortening command.
And a first shortening command section 49 for issuing a cancel command for forcibly canceling the shortening of the fluctuation time.

Numeral 50 denotes a light emitting display means, which is a game board such as a display lamp mounted on the second starting means 15 and corner lights 24 and 25.
5 consists of various display lamps on the panel. Reference numeral 51 denotes light emission control means, which is configured to perform light emission display control of the light emission display means 50 so that the light emission display means 50 blinks in a different cycle or a different light emission color according to the type of a hit symbol of the first symbol display means 32. Have been.

Next, the operation of the above-mentioned ball game machine will be described. The firing handle 10 of the firing means 9 for the game
Is operated, the game balls on the upper plate 6 are supplied one by one to the firing portion in conjunction with the firing operation of the firing means 9, and the game balls are hit with a hitting hammer to sequentially play the game boards 5 along the guide rails 11. Fire to the side.

When the game ball launched onto the upper side of the game board 5 falls along the surface of the game board 5 and the game ball enters the first starting means 16, 17, a first random number is generated. The random number from the generating means 36 is randomly selected and determined by the first random number determining means 37, and the first symbol processing means 38 displays the symbol on the first symbol display means 32 so as to stop at a stop symbol corresponding to the random number. Is varied.

When a game ball wins in the second starting means 15 and the detection switch detects the game ball, the symbol of the second symbol display means 28 fluctuates for a predetermined time. In this case, even if the pair of opening / closing claws 26 are in a closed state in which they are standing substantially in parallel, the second
A game ball wins in the starting means 15, but the second starting means 15
When a hit state in which the stop symbol of the first symbol display means 32 stops at any of the odd hit symbols occurs, the second profit state generating means 43 operates to open and close the opening / closing claw 26 according to the hit symbol. Opens.

That is, if the first random number is a hit random number, the stop symbol of the first symbol display means 32 stops at one of the odd hit symbols, and the second profit after the stop of the first symbol display means 32. The state generating means 43 operates to open the pair of open / close claws 26 of the second starting means 15. The symbol per hour is "1"
If there are three types of "5" and "9", the opening / closing claw 26 of the second starting means 15 is opened for a normal 0.5 second, and if it is "3", it is 2.5
For 7 seconds, it is released for 3.0 seconds.

Therefore, if a hit symbol appears after the first symbol display means 32 fluctuates, the opening time of the second starting means 15 changes depending on which of the five types of the hit symbol is used. 2 The opening time of the starting means 15 is more varied than in the case where the opening time is constant. In particular, the opening time has a long or short change, and the expectation and interest of the player are improved.

When the second starting means 15 detects a game ball, the second random number judging means 40 sets the second random number generating means at that time.
The random number generated in 39 is selected by lottery, and it is determined whether or not the random number is a jackpot random number. In accordance with the determination result, the second variation processing means 41 varies each symbol of the second symbol display means 28 for a predetermined time.

If the result of the judgment by the second random number judgment means 40 is a jackpot random number, the stopped symbols after the change of the second symbol display means 28 are "1.1.1", "3.3.3", 「7 ・ 7 ・
A big hit symbol such as "7" is displayed. Then, when the symbol of the second symbol display means 28 stops at the big hit symbol, the first profit state generating means 42 works to open and close the open / close plate 34 of the special winning means 31.

For this reason, many of the game balls falling from the upper side of the game board 5 easily enter the big winning means 31 through the open / close plate 34, and once a hit occurs on the second symbol display means 28 side. A great profit will be returned to the player. In the big winning means 31, the open / close plate 34 closes when ten game balls win or when a predetermined time has elapsed. Then, if the winning game ball passes through the specific area 35 while the opening / closing plate 34 is open, the special winning means 31 opens again, and the opening / closing operation is repeated up to 16 times.

On the other hand, if the stop symbol after the change of the second symbol display means 28 is any of the specific symbols "3.3.3" or "7.7.7" among the jackpot symbols, the first variation is displayed. The time shortening command means 46 operates, and the fluctuation time of the first symbol display means 32 is reduced from the usual 30 seconds to about 6 seconds, for example. That is, when the big hit symbol comes out after the second symbol display means 28 changes, the specific symbol determination unit 47 determines whether or not the specific symbol is “3.3.3” or “7.7.7”. If the big hit is a specific symbol, the first shortening command unit 49 issues a shortening command to the first variation processing unit 38, and the variation time of the first symbol display unit 32 from the next time is reduced to about 6 seconds. For this reason, the number of changes per unit time of the first symbol display means 32 increases, and the possibility that a hit occurs in the first symbol display means 32 increases by the increase in the number of fluctuations, and the interest of the player increases. Is improved.

When the first symbol display means 32 enters a time-saving state in which the variation time is shortened, the counting section 48 sequentially counts and stores the number of variations each time the first symbol display means 32 changes. Then, when the first symbol display means 32 repeats the fluctuating operation 50 times in the time saving state, the count value of the counting section 48 becomes 50, and the time reduction state of the first symbol display means 32 by the release command from the first shortening command section 49. Cancel. Therefore, once the first symbol display means
If the time reduction state of the symbol 32 is reached, the time reduction state continues until the first symbol display means 32 fluctuates 50 times, so that the player can obtain the benefit of the medium time reduction state during that time, and the second symbol display means 28
The possibility that a jackpot occurs in the vehicle is improved.

However, if a big hit in which the symbol of the second symbol display means 28 stops at the big hit symbol occurs before the number of fluctuations of the first symbol display means 32 becomes 50, the first shortening command section
The time reduction state of the first symbol display means 32 is forcibly released by a release command from 49. Therefore, after the occurrence of the big hit in the second symbol display means 28, the time saving state of the first symbol display means 32 is released. However, since the player has obtained the first profit state of the occurrence of the big hit accompanying the time saving state, It does not hurt the interest of the elderly.

When a hit symbol comes out after the first symbol display means 32 fluctuates, the light emitting display means 50 constituted by various display lamps such as a display lamp and a corner lamp of the second starting means 15 is used. Light-emitting display is performed while blinking at a different cycle or a different light-emitting color according to the type of the symbol.
For this reason, not only the illumination effect on the front side of the game board 5 is remarkably improved, but also the progress of the game can be grasped from the change of the light emitting display state. The interest of people is further improved.

FIG. 4 illustrates a second embodiment of the present invention,
In addition to the second profit state generating means 43, the first fluctuation processing means 38 for changing the appearance rate of the winning symbol in the first symbol display means 32 at normal times, and the big symbol of the second symbol display means 28 is a specific symbol. When the specific state occurs, the first symbol display means 32
The first high-probability instructing means 53 for maintaining a high probability of occurrence of a hit in each of the hit symbols until a predetermined number of times of changing operation are performed.
It is provided with.

The first variation processing means 38 is a first symbol display means.
Since the opening time of the second starting means 15 is changed by the second profit state generating means 43 in accordance with the type of the winning symbol at 32, for example, a winning symbol with a longer opening time of the second starting means 15 The appearance rate of each normal symbol is changed according to the type of the winning symbol, such as by increasing the appearance rate. For example, even if the opening time of the second starting means 15 is as short as 0.5 seconds, the symbols “1” and “9” are 5/5.
For example, the appearance rate is changed according to each symbol, such as 100 and symbol "5" as 10/100. The symbol "3" having a long opening time of 2.5 seconds is set to 20/100 and 3.0.
The symbol “7” longer than the second is 30/100.

The first high probability instructing means 53 includes a specific symbol determining unit 47 for determining whether the big hit symbol of the second symbol displaying unit 28 is a specific symbol, and after the specific symbol determining unit 47 determines that the symbol is a specific symbol. In addition to the counter 48 of the first symbol display means 32,
A first probability command unit 54 for instructing the random number generation unit 36 of the probability of occurrence of a hit and a first occurrence ratio command unit 55 for instructing the first variation processing unit 38 of the occurrence rate of each winning symbol are provided. ing.

The first probability command section 54 issues a high probability command to the first random number generating means 36 when the specific symbol determination section 47 determines that the symbol is a specific symbol, so that the hit occurrence probability is high.
The high probability is forcibly set when the counting unit 48 counts the fluctuation operation of the first symbol display means 32 a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times) and when a big hit symbol is generated on the second symbol display means 28 during the high probability command. A release command to release is issued.

The first appearance rate instructing section 55 includes a specific symbol determining section 47.
Issues an appearance rate change command to change the appearance rate of each winning symbol to the first variation processing means 38 when it is determined that the symbol is a specific symbol,
Further, when the counting section 48 has counted the changing operation of the first symbol display means 32 a predetermined number of times, and during the high probability command, the second symbol display means 28
Then, when a big hit symbol occurs, a cancellation command for forcibly canceling the change is issued.

The first high-probability commanding means 53 is adapted to operate in a specific state in which the stop symbol of the second symbol display means 28 becomes a specific symbol by a combination of the commands of the first probability commanding unit 54 and the first appearance rate commanding unit 55. When the symbol occurs, the appearance rate of the symbol coming off the first symbol display means 32 is reduced from the usual 10/100 to 1/1.
It is configured to decrease to 00. Also, the symbols "1" and "9" in which the opening time of the second starting means 15 is as short as 0.5 seconds.
Is changed from 5/100 to 10/100, and the symbol “5” is 1
It is set to be from 0/100 to 15/100, and the symbol "3" which is as long as 2.5 seconds becomes 20/100,
The longer symbol "7" with 3.0 seconds is 35 from 30/100
/ 100 is set.

In this embodiment, since the appearance rate of each winning symbol differs according to the type of the winning symbol of the first symbol displaying means 32, the change of the opening / closing time of the second starting means 15 corresponds to each winning symbol. The game configuration takes into account the difference in the appearance rate of the symbols, and there is the advantage that the game is more varied and the interest is improved. Besides, not only the appearance rate of each symbol is different,
Since the appearance rate of the symbol with the long opening / closing time of the second starting means 15 is high, the opening time of the second starting means 15 tends to be generally longer, and the expectation of the player is improved.

If the stopped symbol after the change of the second symbol display means 28 becomes a specific symbol “3.3.3” or “7.7.7”,
The first high-probability commanding means 53 operates to switch the appearance probability of each winning symbol to a high probability after the first symbol display means 32 stops. That is, when a specific symbol such as "3.3.3" appears on the second symbol display means 28, the specific symbol determination unit 47 determines that the specific symbol is in the specific state from the specific symbol, and the first probability command unit 54 outputs the first random number. Since the high probability command for switching to the high probability state is issued to the generating means 36, and the first appearance rate command unit 55 issues the high appearance rate command to the first variation processing means 38, after the first symbol display means 32 fluctuates, The appearance rate at which the symbols appear increases. For this reason, the possibility that the second starting means 15 is opened for a longer period of time is higher than that described above, and the number of times of change of the first symbol display means 32 per unit time is increased, so that the interest of the player is further improved.

When the counting section 48 counts the number of times the first symbol display means 32 has changed 50 times, or before the symbol of the second symbol display means 28 stops at the big hit symbol, each command is issued. The high probability and the high appearance rate are canceled by the cancellation command from the units 54 and 55, and the normal probability and the appearance rate are returned.

In the second embodiment, the appearance rate of each symbol in the first symbol display means 32 in the normal state is set to be the same, and when the specific state occurs in the second symbol display means 28, Only in this case, the probability of occurrence of a winning symbol in the first symbol display means 32 may be increased, or the appearance rate of each symbol in the first symbol displaying means 32 may be increased. Further, the second embodiment may be combined with the first embodiment, and the probability variation function of the second embodiment may be combined with the time saving function of the first embodiment.

FIG. 5 illustrates a third embodiment of the present invention,
When the second symbol display means 28 becomes a specific symbol out of a plurality of types of jackpot symbols, the second symbol display means 28 fluctuates a predetermined number of times after the end of the first profit state by the first profit state generating means 42. Up to this point, there is provided a second fluctuation time shortening command means 56 for shortening the fluctuation time of the first symbol display means 32.

That is, the second variable time shortening command means 56 is a first symbol state determining means 47 for determining whether the big hit symbol of the second symbol display means 28 is a specific symbol, and a first profit state generating means 42 An end detecting unit 57 for detecting the end of the profit state, a counting unit 48 of the first symbol display means 32 after the end detecting unit 57 detects the end of the first profit state, and a specific symbol determining unit 47 When the end detection unit 57 determines that the first profit state has ended, the end detection unit 57 issues a shortening command to shorten the fluctuation time of the first symbol display means 32 from the normal 30 seconds to about 6 seconds. When a fluctuation operation of one symbol display means 32 is counted a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times) and when a big hit symbol is generated in the second symbol display means 28 during the shortening instruction, a release command for canceling the reduction of the fluctuation time is issued. 2 shortening command section 58.

In the case of this embodiment, a big hit symbol comes out after the second symbol display means 28 changes, and a first profit state is generated by the first profit state generating means 42, and the big hit symbol is a specific symbol. Even if a specific state occurs, the first profit state is not issued by the second shortening command section 58 until the end detecting section 57 detects the end of the first profit state of the first profit state generating means 42. The state and the profit due to the shortened time of the first symbol display means 32 are not superimposed to induce excessive profit to the player.
