In this embodiment, from the start of the auxiliary variable display game to the end of the first right generation state, the random number of the random number generation unit having a hit probability of 1/80 is used. Until the start of the right right generation state, the random number of the random number generation unit having a hit probability of 1/8 is used. Then, when the second right generation state starts, 1 /
The hit probability of 80 is restored.

The variable display device 20 and the effective random number display 1
0 and the intermediate position between the variable display device 20 and the effective random number display 11 respectively.
2 and 13 are provided. A general winning opening 14 is also provided immediately below the general winning opening 12. A game ball direction changing member 15 called a windmill is provided in the game area 2.
Are provided in a freely rotatable manner, and an out-ball collecting port 16 is provided at the lower center of the game area 2. The game board 1 is provided with a speaker 17 (not shown) for notifying a player of the progress of the game state. The game board 1 also has a right occurrence state display 18 exemplifying as a notifying means for notifying the player of the occurrence of the right occurrence state, and displays the number of game balls that have won the large winning opening 101 of the variable winning device 100. A winning number display 19 (not shown) is attached.

Next, in this embodiment, a special arrangement of obstacle nails which affect the downflow direction of the game ball will be described. First, the arrangement of the nails in the left area of the game area 2 facilitates the flow of the game ball into the special winning opening 4A provided in the variable display device 20, the general winning opening 12 and the movable part 51 in the open state. , The normal arrangement is such that game balls can flow into the auxiliary variable winning device 50. In particular, when the game ball hits left so as to flow down to the left area of the game area 2, a downflow direction regulating nail group 50 </ b> A is provided to make it easier for the game ball to win the auxiliary variable winning device 50 in the open state. Have been.

On the other hand, the arrangement of the nails in the right area of the game area 2 depends on the general winning opening 13 and the variable winning device 100.
Are arranged so that the game balls can easily win the large winning opening 101 and the third kind starting winning opening 7 respectively. However, the arrangement is such that game balls do not easily flow into the specific winning opening 4B on the right shoulder of the variable display device 20 and the auxiliary variable winning device 50.

The arrangement of a special obstacle nail in the right area of the game area 2 will be specifically described. First, adjacent to the upper right edge of the variable display device 20, a right winning opening restriction nail group 4C for restricting the winning of game balls to the right specific winning opening 4B of the variable display device 20 is planted. This is for the following reason. In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, if a winning ball wins again in the special winning reception 71 of the right generating device 5 during the right generating state, the right generating state of the special game disappears regardless of the number of times of executing the special game. I do. Therefore, in order to prevent this, the right winning opening regulating nail group 4C is planted so that a game ball does not win in the right specific winning opening 4B of the variable display device 20 by right-handing in the gaming state where the right is generated. I have.

At the lower right position of the variable display device 20 and at the upper right position of the right generating device 5, a game ball flows into the auxiliary variable winning device 50 in which the movable portion 51 is open. The movable part inflow regulating nail group 51A for regulating the inflow is implanted. Further, at a position facing the movable portion inflow regulating nail group 51A, a downflow direction regulating nail group 100A is implanted on the left side of the variable winning device 100. The group 100A of nails for regulating the flow direction is a large winning opening 10 of the variable winning device 100.
When 1 is in the closed state, a flow path is formed to allow the right-hitting game ball to efficiently win the third-type starting winning opening 7,
Further, when the large winning opening 101 of the variable winning device 100 is in an open state, the flow path to the three-type starting winning opening 7 is closed together with the variable winning device movable portion 102 converted into an inverted “C” shape. , Right-playing game ball into the big winning opening 10
1 has a function of winning with a high probability.

In addition, in order to prevent the right occurrence state from disappearing, an auxiliary variable display game which is started when a game ball wins in the left specific winning opening 4A, 4B of the variable display device 20 during the right occurrence state of the gaming state. Alternatively, a random number of the random number generation unit 1 having a low winning probability is used for each of the auxiliary variable display games started based on the storage of the winning in the specific winning opening 4A, 4B. In addition, even if a hit occurs in the auxiliary variable display game, the movable portion inflow restriction nail is provided so that the game ball does not win in the auxiliary variable winning device 50 which has been opened again as long as the player hits right. Group 51A
Is provided.

The main part of the pachinko game machine according to the present invention is configured as described above except for a control system described later, and is generally controlled as follows by a control means such as a microcomputer installed in the pachinko game machine. Act on When electricity is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine by operating a power switch (not shown), first, an arbitrary symbol is displayed on each of the variable displays A and B of the variable display device 20. Further, the rotating body 74 of the right generation device 5 starts rotating at a predetermined speed in the clockwise direction, and the effective random number display 10 is turned on. It should be noted that “0” is displayed on the third-class start-up winning ball display 9. Further, the variable winning device movable portion 102 of the variable winning device 100 and the movable portion 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 are maintained in a closed state.

At the time of such a normal game, the player aims at the most advantageous left end nail 8A of the top five nails and hits a game ball into the left area of the game area 2 by the game ball launching device. When the left-hitting game ball wins the specific winning opening 4A, the winning ball is detected by the specific winning detector 22 attached to the back surface of the gaming board 1.

On the basis of the detection of the specific winning detector 22, the symbols of the variable display A and the variable display B of the variable display device 20 start to change independently. In addition,
The number of winnings for which the auxiliary variable display game has not been played after winning in the specific winning opening 4A is displayed as the number of lights on the winning number storage display LEDs 1 to 4.

This auxiliary variable display game is composed of "1, 2, 3,
The four symbols "4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0" are circulated in this order at a rate at which the variation cannot be traced. Then, after a predetermined time (6 seconds in this embodiment) elapses after the respective symbols of the variable display A and the variable display B start changing, or after the stop button (not shown) is pressed, the variable display A The fluctuation of each of A and the variable display B is stopped. At the time when the variable display A and the variable display B stop, it is determined whether or not the stopped symbol is a hit. Have been.

As a result of the determination, when the stop symbol is a winning symbol, the movable portion 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is changed to the open state so that the game ball can be easily won. At this stage, the player operates the game ball launching device and strikes the game ball leftward along the flow-down direction control nail group 50A. Then, the game ball wins a prize area formed by the movable portion 51 in the open state of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 along the flow-down regulating nail group 50A. A game ball is placed on the movable part (movable member) 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 in the opened state.
If a predetermined time (6 seconds in this embodiment) elapses without winning a prize or three prizes, the movable portion 51 is converted to a closed state.

When three game balls are won, the movable portion 5
The reason why 1 is converted to the closed state is that when the second game ball wins in the special winning opening 71 of the rotating body 74, the right generation state ends when the second winning is detected. This is to prevent occurrence of such a disadvantageous state for the player.

The game ball that has won the auxiliary variable winning device 50 passes through the count SW 53 (see FIG. 6) for the auxiliary variable winning device 50 provided at the base of the movable portion 51 and passes through the rotating body guiding portion 75. Drops into the lower part once. The dropped game balls are cutout-shaped game ball holding portions 72 and 73, each of which is capable of holding one game ball of the rotating body 74 rotating at the timing of the fall,
Alternatively, the player enters one of the special prize receiving openings 71 as a notched game ball holding section (special holding section) capable of holding only one piece. Therefore, when three game balls are won by the auxiliary variable winning device 50, one of the general winning openings 72, 73 and the special winning opening 71 is provided by the rotation of the rotating body 74.
As a result, only one of the three game balls is held in the special winning opening 71, but as described later, the winning opening that can be won in the special winning ball exit 88 is a special winning opening. Since only the receiving port 71 is provided, only one game ball will win the special winning ball exit 88. That is, three (predetermined plural) game balls received by the conversion of the movable portion (movable member) 51 into the open state are the rotating bodies 74 in which the general winning openings 72 and 73 and the special winning opening 71 are formed. Out of the special prize ball exit (special prize area) 88.

The game balls that have won the general winning openings 72 and 73 rotate with the rotating body 74 while being accommodated in the general winning openings 72 and 73, and rotate by a predetermined angle from the bottom of the rotating body guiding section 75. Thereafter, a general winning ball exit 85 (see FIG. 6) as a general winning area to be described later, and a general winning ball passage 86
(See FIG. 6), and a predetermined number of prize balls are discharged by a prize ball discharge device (not shown). On the other hand, the game ball that has won the special prize port 71 with good timing rotates with the rotating body 74 while being accommodated in the special prize port 71, and rotates by a predetermined angle from the bottom of the rotary body guiding section 75, which will be described later. From the special prize ball exit 88 (see FIG. 6) as a special prize area, it passes through to the back of the game board 1.
Then, after passing through a special prize detector 89 (see FIG. 6) attached to the back surface of the game board 1, a prize process is performed, and a predetermined number of prize balls are discharged by a prize ball discharge device (not shown). When a prize of a game ball is detected by the special prize detector 89, a game state of a right generation state is set.

By the way, in the gaming state where the right is generated,
Since the nail on the right side of the game area 2 is specially arranged as described above, it is advantageous for the player to right-hand.
That is, the firing device is operated to drop the game ball between the right winning opening regulating nail group 4C and the downward flowing regulating nail group 100A or toward the general winning opening 13. Then, the game ball has a high probability of winning in the third kind starting winning opening 7 while its flow passage is regulated by the flowing direction regulating nail group 100A, the movable part inflow regulating nail group 51A or the left side of the variable winning device 100. Will do.

The winning of the game ball into the third kind starting winning opening 7 is detected by the third kind starting detector 7A, and based on this detection, the number of winnings is displayed on the third kind starting opening winning ball display 9. The count display is performed and the big winning port 101 of the variable winning device 100 is converted to the open state.

The player continues right-handing when the variable prize device movable section 102 of the variable prize device 100 is changed to the open state, and the player enters the variable prize device 100 in the open state.
Game balls can be efficiently won in the special winning opening 101. The game ball that has won the special winning opening 101 is detected by the count SW 103, and the large winning opening 101 is changed to a closed state when ten winnings are detected or when ten seconds elapse without winning ten. Then, one cycle of the special game ends. Thereafter, when a game ball wins in the third kind start winning opening 7, the variable winning device movable section 102 is changed to the open state again, and the next second cycle special game is started. It should be noted that, when the variable winning device movable portion 102 of the variable winning device 100 is in the open state, even if a game ball wins in the third-type starting winning opening 6, 7, a special game based on the winning is not performed. That is, the third kind starting winning opening 6,7
Winning of the game ball to becomes invalid. Therefore, in order to prevent the winning in the third-type starting winning opening 7 particularly by right-handing, when the large winning opening 101 of the variable winning device 100 is in the open state, the variable winning device movable portion 102 of the variable winning device 100 The downflow direction regulating nail group 100A makes it difficult for the game balls to flow down to the third kind starting winning opening 7.

Except for the right occurrence state disappearing on the way, the right occurrence state is continued until a total of 16 game balls are won in the third kind starting winning openings 6 and 7, and when the 16th game is won, the right is generated. The occurrence state disappears. Therefore, the special game performed on condition that the game ball wins the third kind start winning opening 6, 7 is performed 16 times at the maximum. At the time when the special game is over, if there is a memorized prize based on the prize in the specific winning opening 4A, 4B, the auxiliary variable display game based on the memory is started, and if not, the auxiliary variable display game is not started. Then, the auxiliary variable display game is started by the winning of the game ball to the specific winning opening 4A, 4B.

When the first right generation state ends, the subsequent auxiliary variable display game is played with a higher hit probability than the previous probability. This is to make it easier to generate the right generation state of the right generation state and to continuously give the benefit of the right generation state to the player. By the continuity of the right generation state, the player can obtain a large number of acquired balls in a short time.

An auxiliary variable display game (called a high-probability auxiliary variable display game) that is started after the first special right state as the special right state ends, is played before the first right state occurs. The same control is performed as in the auxiliary variable display game (referred to as a low probability auxiliary variable display game). That is, the high-probability auxiliary variable display game is started based on the winning of the game ball to the special winning opening 4A by left-handing, and the movable portion 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is generated by the occurrence of the hit by the high-probability auxiliary variable display game. Is released. Based on the opening of the movable portion 51, the game ball is separated by the sorting device 70.
And the separation of the game balls by the separation device 70 is performed.

The variable display units A and B of the variable display unit 21
When the operation timing control means 402 outputs a random number extraction command signal to the random number extraction means 410 at a point in time when a predetermined time has elapsed after each symbol starts to fluctuate, the random number extraction means 410 Extracts a random number stored in association with the winning storage signal. When the random number extracting unit 410 outputs an extracted random number signal representing the extracted random number to the symbol selecting unit 411, the symbol selecting unit 411 selects and determines a stop symbol based on the random number,
Based on the determination, a stop symbol signal is output to the symbol comparison means 412, 413, respectively.

At the same time, the operation timing control means 40
2 outputs a symbol comparison command signal to the symbol comparison means 412,413. The symbol comparison means 412 and 413, which have received the symbol comparison command signal, change the stop symbol signal and the variable display control means 403 for controlling the variation of the variable display unit 21.
Based on each of the fluctuating symbol signals from 404, the stopped symbol and the currently fluctuating symbol are compared. Based on the result of the comparison, the symbol comparing means 412, 413 determines the number of frames to be sent up to the stop symbol, and outputs a number-of-sent-frames signal to the operation timing control means 402. The operation timing control means 402 outputs a control signal to the variable display control means 403, 404 via AND gates 432A, 433A in order to stop the symbol fluctuating on the basis of the feed frame number signal with a stop symbol. .

The fluctuating symbol signal from the variable display control means 404 is also output to the sound effect generating means 421, and based on the fluctuating symbol signal, the sound effect generating means 4
21 controls the speaker 17 so as to generate a sound notifying the player of the end of the auxiliary variable display game.

Based on the control signal, the variable display control means 403 and 404 output variable stop signals to the variable indicators A and B, respectively, in order to stop the fluctuating symbols with a stop symbol. Each of the variable indicators A and B of the variable display section 21 stops at a stop symbol based on the signal. The variable display control means 403 and 404 also send the variable stop signal to the symbol stop determination means 409.

The symbol stop judging means 409 judges whether or not the stopped symbol is a hit when the judgment request signal is inputted from the operation timing control means 402. As a result of this determination, if a hit (stop symbol is 3, 3 or 7,
7), the symbol stop determination means 409 sends a hit signal to the drive control means 417. The drive control means 4
17 is an auxiliary variable winning device 50 based on the hit signal.
When the solenoid signal is sent to the solenoid 58, the movable portion 51 is turned in an inverted "C" shape and is controlled to the open state. As a result, the movable portion 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50
The game balls are easily flown into the winning area formed by the game ball.

The symbol stop judging means 409 also outputs the hit signal to the sound effect generating means 421. Based on the hit signal, the sound effect generating means 421 notifies the player of the hit of the auxiliary variable display game. The speaker 17 is controlled so as to generate such a sound.

At this point, the player moves the game ball to the movable
When the player hits the ball by operating the game ball launching device so as to make the ball enter the first prize area, and the game ball is caused to flow down the downflow direction regulating nail group 50A, It flows into the game ball inlet 81 and then passes through the count SW 53.

When a game ball passes through the count SW 53, the passage is detected by the count SW 53, and a winning detection signal is sent to the winning number counting means 418. The winning number counting means 418 is an added value (total number) of the number of winning balls that have won the count SW 53 based on the detection signal.
Is counted. As a result of the counting, when the added value exceeds a predetermined limit (for example, when the maximum value is “3”), the winning number counting means 418 outputs a three count signal to the drive control means 417. When the drive control means 417 outputs a solenoid closing signal to the solenoid 58 based on the three count signal, the solenoid 58 is demagnetized and the movable part 51 is converted to a closed state. The drive control means 417 has a built-in timer which is turned on when the hit signal is input. The timer is turned off after a predetermined time (in this embodiment, after 6 seconds). A drive control means 417 outputs a solenoid closing signal to the solenoid 58. As a result, the solenoid 58 is in a demagnetized state, and the movable section 51 is converted to a closed state.

The drive control means 417 also outputs the solenoid signal to the sound effect generating means 421, and based on the solenoid signal, the sound effect generating means 421 gives the player a movable part 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50. The loudspeaker 17 is controlled so as to generate a sound indicating the opening.

When the game ball that has passed through the count SW 53 wins the special prize receiving port 71 of the rotating body 74 and passes through the special prize detector 89 from the special prize ball exit 88, the special prize detector 89 is activated. The special winning detection signal is output to the right occurrence state control means 420. The right generation state control means 420 is adapted to notify the player that the pachinko game has entered the right generation state based on the special winning detection signal, by means of the sound effect generation means 421 and the display control means 42.
2 outputs a right generation signal. As a result, the sound effect generating unit 421 controls the speaker 17 to generate a sound effect, and the display control unit 422 controls the right generation state display 18 to display a predetermined display.

The right generation state control means 420 also outputs a right generation signal to the random number change state detection means 407 via the OR gate 431. The random number change state detection means 407 which has received the right generation signal outputs a random number change signal to the random number selection function means 408. When the random number change signal is input, the output terminal Q of the flip-flop 600 of the random number selection function means 408 becomes “1” in synchronization with the rise of the right generation signal, and the output terminal Q bar becomes “0”. And the state is changed to the set state. At the same time, the terminal Q of the flip-flop 600 outputs a "0" state signal to the terminal D.

At this time, the right end signal indicating the end of the right generation state has not been output to the AND gate 700 from the third type start winning counting means 424, and the output terminal Q of the flip-flop 600 has not been output. Since the bar is in the state of “0”, the reset signal is not input to the reset terminal R of the flip-flop 500. Therefore, the output terminal Q of the flip-flop 500 is in the state of “0”, and the output terminal Q bar is in the reset state of “1”. As a result, the random number selection function means 408 outputs the random number selection signal S1, so that the random number of the auxiliary variable display game remains unchanged, that is, the random number (random number 1) of the random number generation unit 405. This is because if a random number is hit at the time when the right occurrence state occurs and the probability is changed to a high probability, a hit occurs again in the auxiliary variable display game and the right occurrence state may disappear.

During the game in the right generation state, the player starts the right hit and operates the game ball launching device so that the game ball flows down the right side of the variable display device 20, and the game ball is set in the third position. When the seed start winning opening 7 is won, the winning is detected by the third type start detector 7A, and a detection signal is output to the special game control means 423 for each win. When the gaming state is the right generation state, the special game control means 423 receives a right generation signal from the right generation state control means 420, and the special game control means 423 outputs the detection signal based on the right generation signal. Is controlled to be valid. Therefore, during a game state other than the right generation state, a game ball wins in the third type start winning opening 6, 7 and even if the third type start detectors 6A, 7A detect the winning, the detection signal is invalid. And the special game is not started.

The special game control means 423 outputs a winning number signal to the third type start winning counting means 424 each time the special game control means 423 inputs the valid detection signal based on the valid detection signal. Further, based on the validity detection signal, the special game control means 423 outputs a special winning opening operation start signal to the variable winning device drive control means 427. The variable winning device drive control unit 427, which has received the special winning opening operation start signal, outputs an opening operation signal to the special winning opening solenoid 426 that opens and closes the variable winning device movable unit 102. As a result, the special winning opening 101 of the variable winning device 100 is changed to the open state, and the game ball is made to be easily won in the special winning opening 101, and the special game in the first cycle is started.

The variable winning device drive control means 427
Also outputs the opening operation signal to the sound effect generating means 421 and outputs the sound effect generating means 421 based on the opening operation signal.
Gives the player a variable winning device movable portion 1 of the variable winning device 100.
The loudspeaker 17 is controlled so as to generate a sound for notifying the opening of the speaker 02. The variable winning device drive control means 427 outputs a special winning opening in-operation signal to the special game control means 423 while the special winning opening solenoid 426 is operating. As a result, the special game control means 423 controls the variable winning device drive control means 427 so as not to output the special winning opening operation start signal to the variable winning device drive control means 427 even by the validity detection signal.

During the special game of the first cycle, as a result of the player continuing to make a right-handed hit, when a game ball wins in the special winning opening 101, the winning is counted by the count SW 103.
Is detected. Each time the count SW 103 detects a winning of a game ball, the count SW 103 outputs a detection signal to the winning number counting means 42.
8 and the winning number counting means 428 counts the winning number based on the detection signal. The winning number counting means 42
8 outputs a 10 count signal to the variable winning device drive control means 427 when the count value of the winning number becomes "10".

The variable winning device drive control means 427 to which the 10 count signal is input is controlled by the special winning opening solenoid 4.
A closing signal is output to 26, and control is performed so that the special winning opening 101 is closed. Also, a predetermined time period (10 in this embodiment) is achieved without winning 10 gaming balls in the special winning opening 101.
Even after the elapse of (sec), the variable winning device drive control means 427 outputs a close signal to the special winning opening solenoid 426 to control the special winning opening 101 to be in a closed state. At this stage, the special game of the first cycle is completed.

As described above, the variable winning device drive control means 427 outputs a special winning opening operation signal to the special game control means 423 while the special winning opening solenoid 426 is operating, and the special game control means 423 outputs the signal. It is controlled not to output the big winning opening operation start signal to the variable winning device drive control means 427. That is, the special game control means 423 outputs a big winning opening operation start signal to the variable winning device drive control means 427 in accordance with the storage of the winning in the third kind starting winning openings 6 and 7, and in each cycle, After the end of the special game, the control of outputting the special winning opening operation start signal to the variable winning device drive control means 427 in response to the storage of the winning again is not performed.

On the other hand, based on the validity detection signal, the special game control means 423 outputs a winning number signal to the third kind start winning counting means 424 each time the validity detection signal is inputted, and The winning counting means 424 counts each time the winning number signal is input. A count signal is output to the display control means 425 each time the count is made, and based on the count signal, the display control means 425 controls the third kind start-up winning number display 9 to display the winning number. .
Therefore, the winning number displayed by the third-type starting opening winning number display 9 does not always match the actual number of special games played.

Then, the third kind start winning counting means 424
Outputs a right end signal to the right occurrence state control means 420 when the counted value becomes "16", and the right end signal is transmitted to the sound effect generation means 421 via the right occurrence state control means 420. It is output to the display control means 422, respectively. And the sound effect generating means 421
Controls the speaker 17 to output a sound effect notifying the player of the end of the right generation state, and the display control means 425 controls the right generation state indicator 18 to notify the player of the end of the right generation state. Display the contents.

The third kind start winning counting means 424
Outputs the right end signal to the random number change state detecting means 407 via the OR gate 431. The random number change state detection means 407 outputs a random number change signal to the AND gate 700 of the random number selection function means 408 based on the right end signal. At this stage, the terminal Q of the flip-flop 600 is "1". Therefore, the state of the flip-flop 500 changes in synchronization with the rise of the right end signal, and the output terminal Q changes to the state of “1” and the output terminal Q changes to the state of “0”. As a result, the random number selection function means 408 outputs a random number selection signal S2 to cause the random number extraction means 410 to extract the random number (random number 2) of the random number generation unit 406. The random number extracting means 410 extracts and stores the random number (random number 2) from the random number generation unit 406 based on the random number selection signal S2. The random number selection function means 408 also outputs a random number selection signal S2 to the display control means 416. Based on the signal, the display control means 416 causes the effective random number display 11 to light up and display. The high-probability auxiliary variable display game based on random numbers is brought into a state where it can be started. Such control enables the player to continuously enjoy the right generation state even after the first right generation state ends, so that more prize balls can be obtained.

When a game ball wins in the special winning opening 4A of the variable display device 20, the winning is stored in the winning storing means 401, and the winning storing means 401 outputs a winning storing signal to the random number extracting means 410. . At this stage, the random number extracting means 410 always picks up the random number from the random number generation unit 2 and extracts the random number in association with the winning storage signal. As a result, the hit probability of the auxiliary variable display game is reduced to 1/8.
The high-probability auxiliary variable display game is performed in the same control procedure as that for the low-probability auxiliary variable display game described above.

When a hit occurs in the high probability auxiliary variable display game, the right generation state control means 420 outputs a right generation signal to the random number change state detection means 407 via the OR gate 431. The random number change state detecting means 40
7 is the flip-flop 6 of the random number selection function means 408
When the random number change signal is output at 00, the terminal Q of the flip-flop 600 changes to "0" in synchronization with the rise of the right generation signal, and the terminal Q changes to "1". When the terminal Q outputs a reset signal to the reset terminal R of the flip-flop 500, the flip-flop 500 changes the state of the terminal Q to “0” and the state of the terminal Q bar to “1”. Is returned to the same state as when the power was turned on.
As a result, the random number selection function unit 408 outputs a random number selection signal S1 so that the random number extraction unit 410 extracts the random number (random number 1) of the random number generation unit 405. The random number extracting means 410 extracts and stores the random number (random number 1) from the random number generation unit 405 based on the random number selection signal S1.
Further, the random number selection function means 408 is connected to the display control means 4.
The control signal is also output to the display 15, and the effective random number display 10 is lit and displayed by the display control means 415 based on the control signal. Therefore, when the right occurrence state occurs in the high-probability auxiliary variable display game following the low-probability auxiliary variable display game, the hit probability of the auxiliary variable display game is 1 /
It has been changed to 80. As a result, even if the game ball accidentally wins the specific winning opening 4A of the variable display device 20 and the auxiliary variable display game is started, it is controlled so that a hit does not easily occur, and the player continuously enjoys the special game. You can do it.

When the continuous special game is terminated by the fact that 16 game balls have been won in the third kind start winning ports 6 and 7, the third kind start winning counting means 424 is turned on by the OR gate 4.
The right end signal is output to the random number change state detecting means 407 through the interface 31. The right end signal is input to the AND gate 700 of the random number selection function means 408. At this time, the terminal Q of the flip-flop 600 is set to "0".
And no signal is output to the flip-flop 500. Therefore, the flip-flop 500
Keeps the reset state as before, and the random number selection means 410 continues to output the random number selection signal S1. As a result, after the end of the continuous special game, a low-probability auxiliary variable display game based on random numbers by the random number generation unit 405 is continuously performed.

Therefore, in the pachinko game according to the present invention, one special game is formed from the state in which the low probability auxiliary variable display game can be substantially started to the end of the continuous special game in the high probability auxiliary variable display game. Will be.

In the above embodiment, the right generation signal output by the right generation state control means 420 and the right end signal output by the third type start winning counting means 424 are used as signals for changing the random number. For other signals,
Any signal may be used. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, a random number (random number 2) of the random number generation unit 406 may be selected based on a special winning detection signal output from the special winning detector 89, or a predetermined number of game balls are fired. Alternatively, a fixed number of shot sphere signals output by a shot sphere detector that detects that the shooting has been performed may be used. Further, the number of winning balls that have won the specific winning opening 4A is detected, and when the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number (for example, 50).
), The specific winning detector 22 may output a constant winning number signal, and the constant winning number signal may be used.
The fixed number of collected balls signal output from the collected ball detector that detects the number of out balls (for example, 1000) may be used, or the difference obtained by the number of collected balls minus the number of discharged balls is a predetermined number (for example, 500) ), The random number of the random number generation unit 406 (random number 2) based on a constant number signal output
May be selected.

The signals may be combined. For example, the random number is changed to a random number of the random number generation unit 406 in synchronization with the rise of the special winning detection signal output by the special winning detector 89,
The random number may be changed to the random number of the random number generation unit 405 in synchronization with the rising of the fixed number of collected balls signal.

When the plurality of signals are input to the random number change state detecting means 407A, any one of the plurality of signals is used for the random number change state detecting means 407A as shown in FIG. A setting selection unit 407B that can select the setting may be provided. The setting selection means 40
7B is operated by an external selection switch SW provided externally, for example, on the base of a pachinko gaming machine or a management device of a game arcade. A signal is output to the random number selection function means 408A. And, for example, when the gaming shop selects the right generation signal by the external switch SW of the management device, the setting selection means 407B validates only the right generation signal and outputs the random number change signal only when the right generation signal is input. Is output to the random number selection function means 408A.

In the above embodiment, the number of winning balls stored in the specific winning openings 4A and 4B is "4". However, the present invention is not limited to this and may be "4" or more. Further, although the random number generation unit uses two random number generation units, two or more random number generation units may be used.

A winning ball display for displaying the number of winning game balls is added to the count SW 53 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 to the game board configuration of the embodiment, and the winning number counting means 418 is added.
And display control means for controlling the winning sphere display based on the signal output by the player. In this way, the progress of the game in stages becomes clearer to the player. Further, an operation number indicator for displaying the number of times of operation of the variable winning device movable portion 102 of the variable winning device 100 is added to the gaming board configuration of the embodiment, and the special game control means 423 outputs a special winning opening operation signal. It is also possible to provide a special winning opening operation start counting means for counting the operation start of the special winning opening 101 on the basis of the special winning opening 101, and to control the operation number display by a display control means controlled by the special winning opening operation counting means. Good.
