DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a game board provided at a required portion thereof.
Special on the condition that a game ball wins in the special winning opening means established
A game right status is generated and the special game right
Fluctuates based on the fulfillment of predetermined starting conditions during the occurrence of
A gaming machine capable of converting a prize device into an advantageous state for a player, wherein a balance between a player's profit and a game store's profit can be adjusted at a game store without adjusting nails for obstacles. It is.

[0002]

Typical examples of the Related Art gaming machine performing a game by launching gaming balls are known pachinko machines, in this pachinko machine, the game board to form a game unit, a special Yu
Guide game balls to a special area related to the occurrence of the skill right status
Variable winning device that can be opened for
Variable display device that will open the device, and even special
To win a prize at the specified opening during the occurrence of the gaming right status
It is known that a variable prize winning device etc. that can be opened
Have been. Furthermore, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted in
Each of a plurality of prize areas including the auxiliary variable prize winning device.
Is configured to affect the winning rate of game balls to the
Was. And, on the game store side, multiple pachinko machines
By finely adjusting the angle and spacing of nails
The actual winning rate for each winning area is a predetermined winning rate.
I do business in this way.

[0003]

However, fine adjustment of obstacles such as nails and windmills requires advanced technology.
Skill is required to acquire this technique. In addition, the gaming shop assumes a profit ratio (so-called payout rate, division number, base value, etc.) to the player for each game machine, and adjusts the obstacle nail for each game machine according to this ratio. For example, the base value (normal return rate) is a normal game state (base game state) excluding a game (special game or big hit game) in which a variable winning device such as an attacker is opened to greatly increase the winning probability. )
Is the ratio between the number of prize balls discharged (the number of balls that are profitable for the player) and the number of effective firing balls (the number of balls that are profitable for the game store). Therefore, for example, if the base value is "46", in a normal game state, as a result of the player firing 100 balls and playing the game, the game will have a rate at which 46 prize balls can be acquired. When the base value is high, the number of awarded balls relative to the number of balls fired is relatively large even without performing a special game, so that the game is continued for a relatively long time for the number of borrowed balls. When a special game (so-called big hit) occurs during the game, the player acquires a larger amount of prize balls, and the profit as the sales of the game store is significantly reduced. Conversely, if the base value is low, the number of awarded balls relative to the number of balls fired is relatively small, so the game ends in a short time for the number of balls borrowed, and the player must frequently borrow game balls. In other words, in order to abandon playing the game with the gaming machine,
The operating rate of a gaming machine having a low base value decreases. From these facts, when the base value of each gaming machine is unstable, the division factor (the ratio of the number of ejected prize balls to the number of effective launching balls in the gaming machine at a sufficient rate) The numerical value shown) is also significantly affected. Therefore, in a gaming shop, adjustment of obstacle nails or the like is performed for each gaming machine in order to set the base value of each gaming machine to a desired value in accordance with the type of gaming machine and business policy.
However, the adjustment of the obstacle nail is delicate, and a great difference often occurs between a preset base value and an actual business result. The fact that the difference is large means that the operation could not be performed according to the sales policy, which is an inconvenience in operation. For this reason, there has been a demand for the development of a gaming machine capable of adjusting the balance between the profit of the game store and the profit of the player without adjusting the obstacle nail.

When the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10 of the right generating device 70 configured as described above is converted to the second state, a ball wins in the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10 and the winning prize ball is a game ball flow. It reaches the sorting device 9 via the inlet 93.
Here, the process of separating the winning balls by the separating device 9 will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, after the first general winning opening 97 passes through the game ball waiting section 88a, the first state before the special winning opening 99 reaches the game ball waiting section 88a (see FIG. 13).
When the prize ball reaches the inside of the sorting device 9 during this time, the prize ball waits in the game ball standby section 88a and is received in the special prize receiving port 99. When two or more winning balls are generated during the first state of the sorting device 9, the first winning ball goes to the special winning opening 99 and the subsequent winning ball goes to the second general winning opening 98. , To the first general prize receiving port 97, respectively. When the number of winning balls is four or more, each of the winning holes 97 to 9
After making a round of 9, it will be accepted again in the special winning opening 99.

In this manner, the winning ball received in the special winning opening 99 is received in the special winning opening 99 while being shifted to the axial center side from the opening position of the general winning ball exit 71. Therefore, it is not discharged from the general winning ball exit 71, and moves further while remaining in the special winning receiving hole 99 to reach the special winning ball outlet 72. Then, the winning ball is discharged from the special winning ball exit 72 opened so as to correspond to the special winning opening 99, and is detected by the special winning ball detector 104 to be processed as a special winning ball.

On the other hand, the first and second general prize receiving holes 97, 98
The ball accepted to the player is discharged from the general winning ball exit 71 and is processed as a general winning ball. It should be noted that even though the first and second general prize holes 97 and 98 receive the prize ball, the prize ball is not discharged from the general prize ball exit 71, and the prize ball reaches the special prize ball exit 72 as it is. In the state in which the balls are received in the first and second general winning reception holes 97 and 98, they are not discharged from the special winning ball exit 72 and are not processed as special winning balls.

In the second state (see FIG. 14) before the first general winning opening 97 reaches the game ball waiting portion 88a after the second general winning opening 98 has passed through the game ball waiting portion 88a. Then, when the winning ball reaches the sorting device 9, the winning ball waits in the game ball waiting section 88a and is received in the first general winning reception port 97. When two or more winning balls are generated during the second state of the sorting device 9, the earliest winning ball goes to the first general winning opening 97 and the subsequent winning balls go to the special winning opening 99. , To the second general winning reception 98. That is, during the second state of the sorting device 9, unless at least two winning balls are supplied from the auxiliary variable winning device 10, no special winning ball is generated.

Similarly, after the special prize receiving port 99 has passed through the game ball waiting section 88a, before the second general prize receiving port 98 reaches the game ball waiting section 88a, during the third state (see FIG. 15). When the winning ball reaches the sorting device 9, the winning ball waits in the game ball waiting section 88 a and is received by the second general winning reception port 98. When two or more prize balls are generated during the third state of the sorting device 9, the first prize ball goes to the second general prize port 98 and the subsequent prize ball goes to the first general prize port. The mouth 97 and the special winning reception 99 are accepted respectively. That is, in the third state of the sorting device 9, unless at least three prize balls are supplied from the auxiliary variable prize device 10, no special prize ball is generated.

As described above, when the sorting device 9 is in the first state, one prize ball is supplied from the auxiliary variable winning device 10, so that a special prize can be reliably generated. When 9 is in the second state, two prize balls are supplied from the auxiliary variable prize device 10 so that a special prize can be reliably generated.
Is in the third state, the special variable prize can be surely generated by supplying three prize balls from the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10. Accordingly, the relative positional relationship between the rotating body 86 and the game ball standby section 88a in the sorting device 9 is grasped, and the auxiliary variable winning device 10 corresponding to the state (first to third states) of the sorting device 9 based on the relative position relationship. (When the allowable number of prizes is limited to one as in the present embodiment, the time when the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10 is converted to the second state is set to the second state or the third state. By doing so, it is possible to intentionally adjust the probability of occurrence of a special prize.

When the prize ball reaches the sorting device 9 from the auxiliary variable prize device 10 through the game ball inflow port 93, the rolling force of the falling ball causes the rolling member guide portion 88 to roll irregularly. For example, the sorting device 9 in the third state
It is assumed that one winning ball supplied to the special winning port 99 is accidentally received by the special winning port 99. However, the occurrence of such unintended special prize is extremely rare, and is almost negligible in game control over a long time. Also, after occurrence of such unintended special prize, it is also possible to adjust the overall probability of occurrence of special prize by performing game control for suppressing occurrence of special prize.

Based on the fact that the special prize is generated in the right generating device 70 and the right is generated, the specific winning opening 13 activated during the generation of the right is
The specific prize device 115 is provided in the specific prize device 115.
The appearance of No. 5 is obtained by closing a front opening portion of a hollow box frame-shaped specific winning base 116 with a front cover 117, and a specific winning opening 13 is formed on an upper surface thereof. Further, inside the specific winning base 116, a rotating body 118 having a winning ball receiving portion 118a capable of receiving a ball at an appropriate position on the peripheral surface is provided,
The special winning opening 1 is provided in the winning ball receiving portion 118a of the rotating body 118.
When the rotator 118 rotates by 180 degrees in a state where the winning ball received from No. 3 is received, the winning ball reaches the specific winning ball receiving section 119 provided on the specific winning base 116,
When it is discharged to the back side of the game board 3 from the specific winning ball exit 120 established on the back side of the specific winning ball receiving section 119,
It is detected by the specific winning ball detector 14. Further, after being detected by the specific winning ball detector 14,
The ball reaches a winning ball processing mechanism (not shown) via a winning ball collecting gutter or the like, and is appropriately processed as a winning ball.

A shaft insertion hole 121 is formed on the back side of the special winning base 116, and an output shaft connecting member 122 connected to the shaft center of the rotating body 118 extends from the shaft insertion hole 121 to the back side. By connecting the output shaft connecting member 122 to the output shaft 123 a of the motor 123, the rotational driving force of the motor 123 is transmitted to 118. The motor 123 is fixed to a mounting board 124 and is mounted on the specific winning base 116 via the mounting board 124. Further, a lamp board 126 having a right occurrence display lamp 125 for indicating a state in which a right has occurred in the gaming machine 1 is also attached from the back side of the specific winning base 116. Furthermore, the special winning ball detector 1
4 is a specific winning ball exit 1 by the detector mounting member 127
20 is provided in the vicinity.

The special winning device 115 configured as described above.
According to the above, if the winning ball receiving portion 118a of the rotating body 118 is not located directly below the specific winning opening 13, the specific winning opening 1
Even if the game ball has arrived at No. 3, the specific winning device 115 cannot be won. Therefore, by not placing the winning ball receiving portion 118a immediately below the specific winning opening 13 until the right generating state is reached, it is possible to prevent a ball from winning in the specific winning opening 13. In addition, the winning ball receiving portion 11 of the rotating body 118
If the rotating body 118 does not rotate 180 degrees even if the 8a is positioned directly below the specific winning opening 13, the ball received by the winning ball receiving unit 118a is processed as the specific winning ball. There is no.

Further, there is a time difference between the time when the ball winning the specific winning opening 13 is received by the winning ball receiving portion 118a, the time when the ball reaches the specific winning ball receiving portion 119, and the time when the ball is detected by the specific winning ball detector 14. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from suffering a significant disadvantage during the generation of the right. In other words, while the number of specific winning balls that can be accepted into the specific winning opening 13 during the right generation state is limited to a predetermined number (for example, 16), the variable winning device 8 described below performs during the second state conversion. Since the number of balls won in the specific winning opening 13 is not stored and stored, the number of specific winning balls detected by the specific winning ball detector 14 during the second state conversion of the variable winning device 8 is used for determining the termination condition of the right generation state. Will be used only, and it will be possible to reduce the disadvantage that the player receives, such as ending the rights generation state without obtaining enough prize balls despite the rights generation state, is there.

The specific prize winning device 115 is not limited to the above-described configuration. For example, the specific prize winning device 115 has the same configuration as the above-described auxiliary variable prize winning device 10 and a variable prize winning device 8 described later, and has a first state in which game balls are not accepted. And a winning device that can be converted into a second state in which game balls can be received, or a structure in which only a winning port is opened in the same manner as other general winning ports. Then, when a prize is won in the specific winning opening 13 other than when the right is being generated, the electric control device 3 performs processing such as invalidating the prize ball or treating it in the same manner as a general prize ball.
If step 3 is performed, no inconvenience occurs.

The variable winning device 8 functioning as the second variable winning device can be changed into a first state disadvantageous to the player and a second state advantageous to the player by driving the electric drive source. 18 and 19, the opening / closing wings 130 and 130 are pivotally mounted on both sides of the opening 129 of the mounting board 128, and the opening 129 is formed with a ball receiving portion 131. is there.

The pivot shaft 132 of each of the open / close wings 130 extends through the mounting board 128, and a pin 13 for opening and closing the open / close wings 130, 130 right and left is provided at the rear end thereof.
An operation lever 134 having 3 implanted is fixed. The pin 133 of the operation lever 134 is loosely inserted into an engagement hole 137 of an operation member 136 provided at a lower end of a plunger of a solenoid 135 as an electric drive source.
For this reason, the left and right opening / closing wings 130, 130 are normally operated by the weight of the plunger and the action of the return spring.
The state where the upper end interval of 0,130 is closed so that the ball cannot pass (FIG. 18 ), that is, the first state that is disadvantageous for the player is maintained.

The solenoid 135 is attached to a boss protruding from the rear surface of the drive board 138.
6 and its engagement hole 137 are provided on the left and right two operation levers 13.
The pins 133 and 133 of 4,134 are commonly formed. When the solenoid 135 is excited, the operating member 13
6 is lifted up against the rotation behavior of the opening / closing wings 130, 130 in the inner closing direction, the operation member 136 and the pin 133 move upward, and each operation lever 134 is opened outward around the rotation shaft 132. To open and close the open / close wings 130, 130 to convert the ball to a state in which the ball can be easily received, that is, a second state advantageous to the player.

Opening / closing wing 13 opened after being converted to the second state
The ball that wins 0, 130 is picked up by the ball receiving portion 131, passes through the opening 129, flows down the back side of the mounting board 128, and is a photosensor type counting detector provided on the back side of the mounting board 128. 139. When detecting the ball, the counting detector 139 sends a signal to the electric control device 33 described later in detail. The variable prize device 8 also functions as a prize area, and a hit ball wins in the variable prize device 8, and the prize ball is discharged based on detection of this by the counting detector 139.

The variable prize winning device 8 may be a so-called attacker type prize winning device that converts a horizontally long door into a first state in which the ball is not accepted and a second state in which the ball is easily accepted by opening and closing the door by driving a solenoid.

Next, a game in the gaming machine 1 having the above configuration will be described.

When a ball shot by the player operating the operation handle 19 enters the game section 5 of the game board 3,
It flows down while changing the flow direction against the nail. Then, this ball is used as a passing gate 11 as a first specific winning area.
When the ball is passed, the ball passing ball detector 12 detects this ball and sends a signal to the electric control device 33. When the electric control device 33 receives the signal from the gate passing ball detector 12, the electronic control device 33 operates the variable display device 6 to variably display the numbers at a speed at which the player cannot identify. That is, the gate passing ball detector 12 functions as a first specific winning signal generation means for operating the variable display device 6.

When the electric control device 33 receives this signal, the first and second variable display devices 7 of the variable display device 6
a and 7b are operated to convert and display numbers at a speed that the player cannot recognize. Then, when a predetermined time set in the timer of the electric control device 33 elapses or when the player operates a stop switch (not shown), the variable display of the variable display device 6 is stopped, and The digits are stopped. When this stop symbol forms a preset prize mode (for example, “1” and “1”, “3” and “3”,
When “5” and “5”, “7” and “7”, and “9” and “9” are displayed), the auxiliary variable winning device solenoid 81 of the auxiliary variable winning device 10 of the right generation device 70 Is excited for a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, one) of prize balls determined by the electric control device 33 until the count switch 75 for the auxiliary variable prize device counts. Therefore, when the prize mode is formed by the variable display device 6, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10 opens the opening / closing wings 76 , 76 and accepts a hit ball until a predetermined time elapses or a predetermined number of prizes, whichever is first, is satisfied. The state is converted to the easy second state. When any of the above conditions is satisfied, the auxiliary variable winning device solenoid 81 is demagnetized, so that the auxiliary variable winning device 10 returns to the first state in which the open / close wings 76 are closed.

When the hit ball wins in the auxiliary variable winning device 10 converted to the second state as described above, the winning ball reaches the sorting device 9 via the game ball inlet 93. Then, the first and second general winning ball receiving holes 97 and 98 of the rotating body 86.
Is received from the general prize ball exit 71, falls into the general prize ball passage 102, is treated as a general prize ball, and does not have a special game right, and returns to the normal game state. Note that, after the second state conversion operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 10, if there is a storage based on the detection signal of the gate passing ball detector 12, the conversion display of the variable display device 6 is started again, and the same as above. The operation is repeated.

When a winning ball is received in the special winning opening 99, the ball passes through the general winning ball exit 71, is discharged from the special winning ball exit 72, and passes through the special winning ball passage 10
3 and is detected by the special winning ball detector 104. When the special winning ball detector 104 detects a special winning ball, the special winning ball detection signal is sent to the electric control device 33, and by the input of the signal, the electric control device 33 causes the special game as a right generation state to be generated. To start. The probability that the sorting device 9 separates the prize balls to the auxiliary variable prize device 10 into special prize balls is appropriately adjusted based on the control of the electric control device 33 described later.
In addition, the rotating operation of the rotating body 86 in the sorting device 9 is not limited to rotating at a constant speed in a fixed direction (direction A in FIGS. 13 to 15), but may be performed by slightly increasing or decreasing the rotating speed, The rotation operation of the rotator 86 may be temporarily stopped at the time when each of the prize receiving ports 97 to 99 of the 86 comes close to the game ball standby section 88a.

Thus, after the special game right is generated (during a specific game state), when the ball flowing down in the game section 5 wins the specific winning opening 13, the specific winning ball detector 14
Detects this ball and sends a signal to the electronic control unit 33,
Based on this signal, the electric control device 33 operates the solenoid 135 of the variable prize device 8 for a predetermined period, for example, a period until a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) set in a timer elapses, or a predetermined value for the variable prize device 8. Excitation is performed only during a period until a number (for example, 10) of balls are won. That is, the variable winning device 8 is converted into the second state in which the ball can be easily accepted for a predetermined period until the above condition is satisfied.

When a hit ball is won in the variable winning device 8 being converted to the second state, the counting detector 139 detects one of the balls and sends a detection signal to the electric control device 33, and the electric control device 33 33 counts the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 8 during the second state conversion based on this signal, and when reaching a predetermined number, deactivates the solenoid 135 to return the variable winning device 8 to the first state. Even if the number of winning balls does not reach the predetermined number, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the electric control device 33 demagnetizes the solenoid 135 and returns the variable winning device 8 to the first state.

As described above, when either the condition that the predetermined time has elapsed or the number of winning balls reaches the predetermined number is satisfied, the variable winning device 8 returns to the first state, but this condition is satisfied. Is defined as one cycle, and each time the specific winning ball detector 14 detects a specific winning ball based on the winning in the specific winning 13 after the above condition is satisfied, the cycle is updated, and the special game is performed a predetermined number of times. (For example, the 16th cycle). That is, the variable winning device 8
When the ball wins the special winning opening 13 after returning to the first state, the specific winning ball detector 14 detects this ball and sends a signal to the electric control device 33, and based on this signal, the electric control device 33 excites the solenoid 135 of the variable winning device 8 and is updated in the second cycle to continue the special game.

Further, in the special game of the second cycle, when the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 8 reaches a predetermined number (10) or a predetermined time (10 seconds) elapses,
After the solenoid 135 is demagnetized and the second cycle is completed, when the ball wins the specific winning opening 13, the special game is continued similarly updated in the third cycle. In this way, the cycle is updated on condition that the ball enters the specific winning opening 13. However, when the final 16th cycle is completed, the right of the special game is extinguished, and the cycle is not updated even if the ball wins the specific winning opening 13 thereafter. Further, as described above, since the ball that has won the specific winning opening 13 during the change of the second state of the variable winning device 8 is not stored, the number of renewable cycles is reduced.

As described above, in the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the variable display device 6 operates under the condition that the ball passes through the passage gate 11, and a predetermined prize mode is formed by the variable display device 6. The auxiliary variable winning device 10 of the right generating device 70 is converted to the second state, and the ball that reaches the sorting device 9 by winning in the auxiliary variable winning device 10 is changed to the general winning ball exit 71 or the special winning ball. The special winning ball separated at the exit 72 and sorted at the special winning ball exit 72 acts on the special winning ball detector 104, thereby generating a right for special game. Specific winning opening 1
3, the variable winning device 8 is converted to the second state for a predetermined period on condition that the ball wins the specific winning opening 13 after the variable winning device 8 returns to the first state. The update is performed and the special game is continued. Then, when a predetermined time elapses or the number of winning balls reaches the predetermined number in the final cycle, the right of the special game is extinguished at this point, and the special game in a specific game state ends.

During the special game described above, the variable display device 6 is operated by a gate passing ball detection signal generated based on the detection of the gate passing ball by the gate passing ball detector 12, thereby forming a prize mode. Then, the ball that has won the auxiliary variable winning device 10 converted to the second state is classified into a special winning ball, and a special winning ball detection signal is output from the special winning ball detector 104 based on the detection of the special winning ball. When the special game is output, the right of the special game disappears, and the special game ends at that point (a so-called punctured state).

Next, a configuration related to the game control of the electric control device 33 for controlling the operation of the various game devices described above will be described. The electric control device 33 performs a normal game control and an auxiliary game (game for shifting to a special game).
And a second game control means 141 for controlling a special game as a specific game state.

In the first game control means 140, the gate passing ball detection signal from the gate passing ball detector 12 is transmitted via the gate passing ball detection signal line L1, and the shot ball detection signal is sent from the shot ball sensor 26 to the shot ball detection. A foul ball detection signal from a foul ball sensor 28 via a signal ball L2, an auxiliary variable winning device winning signal from an auxiliary variable winning device count switch 75 via a foul ball detection signal line L3, and an auxiliary variable winning device winning signal line via a signal line L2. Through the base value setting switch 142, a base value selection signal is sent from the base value setting switch 142 to the base value selection signal line L5.
, A first key insertion detection signal from the first key insertion detector 143 via the first key insertion detection signal line L6, and a right generation rate selection signal from the right generation rate setting switch 144 via the first key insertion detection signal line L6. Through L7, the second key insertion detection signal from the second key insertion detector 145 is transmitted via the second key insertion detection signal line L8, and the rotator position detection signal is output from the rotator position detector 113 as the rotator position detection signal. It is assumed that each is input via the line L9.

Further, from the first game control means 140, a winning number storage display command signal is transmitted to the winning number storage display lamp 45 via the winning number storage display signal line L10 via the conversion command signal line L11. The signal is sent to the variable display device 6 via the auxiliary variable winning device drive signal line L12, and the auxiliary variable winning device drive signal is sent to the auxiliary variable winning device solenoid 81 of the auxiliary variable winning device 10 via the set base value display signal line L13. The setting base value display signal is sent to the setting base value display 38 via the setting right occurrence rate display signal line L14, and the setting right occurrence rate display signal is sent to the setting right occurrence rate display 37.
To be output respectively.

On the other hand, the second game control means 141 sends a special winning ball detection signal from the special winning ball detector 104 via the special winning ball detection signal line L15 to the specific winning ball detection signal from the specific winning ball detector 14. , A special winning opening winning ball detection signal is input from the counting detector 139 via the special winning ball detecting signal line L17 via the specific winning ball detection signal line L16.

Further, from the second game control means 141, an audio output signal is sent to the speaker 146 via the audio output signal line L18, and a right occurrence state display signal is issued via the right occurrence state display signal line L19. To ramp 125,
The special winning opening winning number display signal is sent to the specific winning opening winning number display 65 via the special winning opening winning number display signal line L20, and the special device driving signal is sent to the solenoid of the variable winning device 8 via the special device driving signal line L21. At 135, a special winning opening winning number display signal is output to a special winning opening winning number display device 147 provided at an appropriate place of the gaming machine 1 via a special winning opening winning number display signal line L22.

Note that a signal is exchanged between the first game control means 140 and the second game control means 141 as information necessary for each control. For example, the first game control means 14 0 from the second game control means 14 1, 'converting command signals via the auxiliary change winning device drive signal line L12' converted command signal line L11 auxiliary fluctuation winning device drive via command signal, 'the hit judging signal via is a winning number memory signal line L24' collision determination signal line L23 with a winning number memory signal line via a are respectively supplied, the second game control means 14
1 from the first game control means 14 0 to the right occurs in the signal line L2
It is assumed that a right-in-progress signal is supplied via 5 '.

First, the specific configuration and control flow of the first game control means 140 will be described with reference to FIG.

The gate passing ball detection signal input from the gate passing ball detector 12 to the first game control means 140 is supplied to the variable display control means 148, and based on the input of the signal, the variable display control means 148 changes The conversion command signal is output to the display device 6, and the display symbols corresponding to the conversion command output by the variable display control means 148 are sequentially converted and displayed on the variable display device 6. The conversion command signal output from the variable display control means 148 is also input to the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149, and the auxiliary variable winning device control means 1
Also in 49, a display symbol based on the conversion command can be always known. Then, the variable display control means 1
When 48 stops the conversion display of the variable display device 6,
A symbol stop signal is supplied from the variable display control means 148 to the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149 via the symbol stop signal line L26. Based on the input timing of the symbol stop signal, the auxiliary variable winning device control means is controlled. 149
Is to determine whether or not the stop symbol of the variable display device 6 is a hit. In the case where the auxiliary change winning device control unit 149 determines that the "per" the stop symbols are as outputting a hit judging signal to the second game control means 14 1 (FIG. 2
1).

If the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149 determines the stop symbol of the variable display device 6 as a result of the determination, the prize mode is formed (for example, two stop symbols are “7”, “7”).
), The auxiliary variable winning device control means 149 controls the auxiliary variable winning device solenoid 8 of the auxiliary variable winning device 10.
1 to output an auxiliary variable prize device driving signal to convert the auxiliary variable prize device 10 to a second state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, the stop symbol of the variable display device 6 is “disengaged”.
Is determined, the game returns to the normal game state. Note that the conversion command signal output from the variable display control means 148 to the variable display device 6 and the auxiliary variable winning device drive signal output from the auxiliary variable winning device control device 149 to the auxiliary variable winning device solenoid 81 are respectively converted commands. Signal line L11 'and auxiliary variable winning device drive signal line L1
It is provided to the second game control means 141 via 2 '(and in FIG. 21). That is, variable
Display control means 148, auxiliary variable winning device control means 149
And others cooperate to achieve the “variable display control

You.

Further, the variable display control means 148 stores up to a predetermined number (four in this embodiment) of gate passing ball detection signals from the gate passing ball detector 12, and starts according to the stored number. The stored number display signal is output to the winning number storage display lamp 45. Then, after the conversion display of the variable display device 6 based on one start memory is completed (or the conversion operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 10 performed based on "hit determination" of the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149 is completed). If the start storage number is not "0" (if the storage number is 1 or more), the conversion display of the variable display device 6 is newly started based on the start storage. Further, when the winning number storage display based on the start memory is performed, the winning number storage signal is supplied from the variable display control means 148 to the second game control means 141 via the winning number storage signal line L24 '. (FIG. 21
During,).

Also, during the second state conversion of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10 by the auxiliary variable prize device control means 149, the auxiliary variable prize device operation is performed by the auxiliary variable prize device control means 149 via the auxiliary variable prize device operating signal line L27. The middle signal is supplied to the variable display control means 148, and during the input of the signal, the start of the auxiliary game based on the new start memory is restricted. This start memory is decremented every time an auxiliary game is performed by the conversion display of the variable display device 6.

Here, in the present embodiment, the variable display device 6 is interposed in the conversion display control of the variable display device 6 based on the winning of the pass to the gate passing ball detector 12 described above.
By adjusting the second state conversion probability of the auxiliary variable winning device 10 based on the stop symbol forming the prize mode, the base value, which is the return rate to the player, is made closer to the preset base value. The configuration and control contents related to this control operation will be described below.

To set the base value, the administrator first inserts the first key into the key 36a provided on the setting operation section 35. This is to add a security function for preventing a change of the setting base value from being performed by a person who is not a valid administrator. In addition to keys, a password operation or an ID card may be used as appropriate. . And the proper first
If a key is used, the first key insertion detector 143
The first key insertion detection signal is transmitted to the base value setting control unit 15.
The base value setting control means 150 is activated by being input to 0, and the base value selection signal from the base value setting switch 142 is effectively inputted based on the activation of the base value setting control means 150. It comes to be. Thus, the base value setting control unit 150 to which the base value selection signal is input selects a base value according to the selection signal, and sets the selected base value as a “set base value”.

That is, since the base value setting switch 142 and the base value setting control means 150 function mutually,
A predetermined prize rate can be set and changed as a prize rate setting change means.
It works. Predetermined winning rate set in this way
Is used for correction control by the prize rate correction control means described later.
Is done . Note that the base value setting control unit 150 outputs a setting base value display signal corresponding to the setting base value to the setting base value display 38 so that the setting base value display 38
Is displayed, and the administrator can confirm whether or not the selected base value is appropriate.

The set base value set as described above is stored and held by the base value setting control means 150 until the power is turned off or a new base value is set.
The set base value continues to be supplied to the base value comparison / determination means 152 of the base value correction means 151.

On the other hand, the fire ball detection signal from the fire ball sensor 26 and the far ball detection signal from the far ball sensor 28 are supplied to the effective fire ball number calculation means 153, and the effective fire ball number calculation means 153 By subtracting the number of foul balls from the count value of the above, the number of effective firing balls that have effectively reached the gaming section 5 of the game board 3 is calculated, and the number of effective firing balls is calculated by the base value calculating means 154 and the base value correcting means 151. It is supplied to the control intervention range control means 155 respectively. Since the number of effective fired balls corresponds to the total number of balls spent by the player in the game, it can be substantially regarded as a disadvantage of the game required by the player in the game.

The base value calculating means 154 receives the auxiliary variable prize winning device winning signal from the auxiliary variable prize winning device count switch 75. By multiplying the number of discharged prize balls based on winning in the device 10, the total number of prize balls acquired by the player as game profit is calculated. Further, the base value calculation means 154 calculates the total number of prize balls with respect to the total number of effective fire balls supplied as a game disadvantage from the effective fire ball number calculation means 153, thereby obtaining the actual profit to the player. A current base value as a current reduction rate as a reduction rate is calculated, and the calculated value is used as a base value comparison / determination unit 15.
2.

In this embodiment, when the obstacle nail or the windmill is placed in the game section 5, the hit ball is
It is set such that it is difficult to win a prize area other than 1 and the auxiliary variable prize apparatus 10 so that a prize ball based on a prize ball to the auxiliary variable prize apparatus 10 can be regarded as a game profit obtained by the player. Therefore, the base value calculating means 154 simplifies the configuration by calculating the game profit only from the auxiliary variable winning device winning signal from the auxiliary variable winning device counting switch 75 for the auxiliary variable winning device.

However, the placement of obstacle nails and windmills in the gaming section 5 may be set so that the other prize areas do not always win at all, and that the hit ball can substantially evenly win each prize area. Therefore, in such a case, other winning regions (for example, the first to fifth general winning openings 15a to 15a)
5e) also converts the winning signal (for example, the detection signals of the first to fifth winning ball detectors 16a to 16e) into the base value calculating means 15.
4 and the number of discharged prize balls based on the winning may be added to the calculation of the game profit. Further, as in the present embodiment, all the discharged prize balls are set to “7”.
In the case where the number of prize balls is increased (for example, 13) for a prize in a specific prize area, instead of "individual",
The number of discharge prize balls to be multiplied according to the winning signal may be set in the base value calculation means 154 in advance.

As described above, the base value calculating means 15
The base value comparison determining means 152 to which the current base value is supplied from No. 4 is a reduction rate comparison for determining and comparing the set base value (set reduction rate) from the base value setting control means 150 with the current base value (current reduction rate). It has both a function and a return rate correction function of intervening in game control according to the comparison result and bringing the current base value, which is the actual return rate to the player, closer to the set base value. In the present embodiment, the base value comparison determination means 152 controls the variable display control means 148 to control the variable display device 6 to variably control the probability of forming the prize mode. The probability of being converted into a state is adjusted so that the current base value, which is the return rate to the player, approaches the set base value.

The base value comparison / judgment means 152 does not always intervene in the control of the variable display control means 148. , Intervening in the control of the variable display control means 148. The control intervention range control means 155 in this embodiment sends a control intervention timing signal to the base value comparison / determination means 152 every time the number of effective launch balls from the effective launch ball number calculation means 153 reaches a certain value. However, the timing of the control intervention may be determined based on the elapsed time, or the control intervention timing signal may be transmitted when any one of these conditions is satisfied.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned base value comparing / determining means 15
In the base value correction means 151 composed of the control intervention range control means 155 and the control intervention range control means 155, the base value comparison determination means 152 intervenes in the game control so that the current base value approaches the set base value. The present invention is not limited to only the input timing of the control timing signal. For example, when the result of the base value comparison / determination means 152 itself comparing and determining the current base value and the set base value exceeds a certain allowable range, It may be configured to intervene in game control.

As described above, according to the present invention, the base value correction means 151 as the return rate correction means is provided, so that the player can automatically bring the game profit actually received to the predetermined game profit. It becomes possible. Therefore, the current base value, which is the actual return rate to the player, can be made closer to the set base value without finely adjusting the obstacle nail, the windmill, and the like in the game section 5, and due to the inadequate adjustment, etc. It is possible to prevent a game machine with a high return rate or a game machine with a low return rate from being unintentionally generated.

The base value as the game return rate includes
Since it is desirable not to include the game data during another game (in this embodiment, the right being a specific game state being generated) in which the return rate to the player is significantly increased, the second game control means 141 sends the right generated signal to the player. It is assumed that the right-in-progress signal is supplied to the number-of-launched-balls calculating means 153 and the base value calculating means 154 via the line L25 '(in FIG. 21).
During the input of the signal, the accumulation of the effective launch balls and the accumulation of the number of ejected prize balls are stopped.

Subsequently, the symbol stop timing of the variable display device 6 is adjusted as described above, and the stop symbol is determined to be "hit".
In this case, the timing at which the auxiliary variable winning device 10 is converted to the second state is adjusted and controlled, so that the adjustment of the base value as the game return rate and the adjustment of the probability of shifting to the special game right generation state are simultaneously performed. A configuration for controlling will be described.

First, the position of the rotator for acquiring the position information of the rotator (the relative positional relationship between the game ball waiting section 88a and each of the winning openings 97 to 99) in the sorting device 9 of the right generating device 70. The rotator position detection signal is input from the detector 113 to the rotator position detection means 156, and the rotator position detection means 156 is 8
It is determined which of the first to third states 6 currently corresponds to. When the rotator 86 is in the first state, the first state signal is transmitted via the first state signal line L28, and when the rotator 86 is in the second state, the second state signal line L is output.
29, and the third signal via the third state signal line L30 when the rotating body 86 is in the third state.
The in-state signals are output to the stop timing signal generating means 158, respectively.

On the other hand, the variable display control means 148 stops the variable display stop timing extraction means 159 via the stop timing extraction command signal line L31 based on the elapse of a predetermined time from the start of the conversion operation of the variable display device 6. A variable display stop timing extracting means 159 which outputs a timing extraction command signal and receives the stop timing extraction command signal.
Converts any one of the first state selection signal, the second state selection signal, and the third state selection signal based on a right generation probability adjustment random number (to be described in detail later) supplied from the right generation rate setting control means 160. Then, any one of the selection signals is output to the stop timing signal generation means 158 via the first state selection signal line L32, the second state selection signal line L33, and the third state selection signal line L34.

Based on the first to third selection signals supplied as described above, stop timing signal generation means 158
Outputs a symbol stop timing signal to the variable display control means 148 via the symbol stop timing signal line L35 in response to the input timing of the first to third state signals from the rotating body position detecting means 156. That is, when the first state selection signal is input from the variable display stop timing extracting means 159, the timing at which the first state selection signal is input (the first state selection signal is received during the input of the first state selection signal). In this case, the symbol stop timing signal is input to the variable display stop timing extracting means 1 at the input timing of the first state selection signal).
When the second state selection signal is input from 59, the timing at which the second state selection signal is input (when the second state selection signal is received during the input of the second state selection signal, the second state selection signal is input) When the third state selection signal is input from the variable display stop timing extraction means 159, the symbol stop timing signal is input at the time of inputting the third state signal (input of the third state signal). If the third state selection signal is received during this time, the symbol stop timing signal is output at (the input timing of the third state selection signal).

Thus, if the stop symbol displayed on the variable display device 6 forms a prize mode,
Since the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10 of the right generating device 70 can be converted to the second state at a desired timing (first to third states of the classification device 9), prize balls are discharged based on the prize to the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10. And the prize ball is moved to the first and second
This makes it possible to intentionally sort into any of the general winning openings 97, 98 and the special winning opening 99.

For example, when the base value correction means 151 intervenes in the variable display control of the variable display control means 148, when the current base value is higher than the set base value, it is difficult for the variable display device 6 to form a prize mode. , Auxiliary variable winning device 10
Is not converted to the second state, the number of effective firing balls as a disadvantage to the player required for the game increases, whereas the number of award balls to be gained by the player as a result of the game does not increase. The base value decreases and approaches the set base value. On the other hand, when the current base value is lower than the set base value, a prize mode is formed on the variable display device 6 with a relatively high probability, so that the number of discharged prize balls based on the prize in the auxiliary variable prize device 10 increases. However, the current base value approaches the set base value.

When a prize mode is formed on the variable display device 6 and the auxiliary variable prize device 10 is converted to the second state, a symbol stop timing signal from the stop timing signal generating means 158 is input. Since the variable display control means 148 stops the variable display of the variable display device 6 at the timing, the auxiliary variable winning device 10 is switched to the second variable winning device 10 at the timing when any one of the first to third states of the sorting device 9 becomes a desired state. It is possible to convert to two states. That is, when the sorting device 9 is in the first state, the auxiliary variable winning device 10 is
The special game right is generated with an extremely high probability when converted to the state, and the probability that the special game right is generated when the auxiliary variable winning device 10 is changed to the second state when the sorting device 9 is in the second state is low. In other words, if the auxiliary variable winning device 10 is changed to the second state when the sorting device 9 is in the third state, the right of the special game hardly occurs. Therefore, the variable display stop timing extracting means 159
By adjusting the selection probabilities of the first to third state selection signals to be output to 8, the right occurrence rate of the special game can be adjusted at will.

As described above, in order for the administrator to set a desired right occurrence rate, first, the key 3
Insert the second key into 6b. When an appropriate second key is used, the second key insertion detection signal is input from the second key insertion detector 145 to the right occurrence rate setting control means 160, so that the right occurrence rate setting control means 160 Is activated, and based on the activation of the right occurrence rate setting control means 160, the right occurrence rate selection signal from the right occurrence rate value setting switch 144 is effectively input. Then, the rights generation rate setting control means 160, to which the rights generation rate selection signal is input, selects a random number to be used for realizing the rights generation rate according to the selection signal, and converts the selected random number into a “selected random number”. And

The selected random number is transmitted from the right occurrence rate setting control means 160 to the variable display stop timing extracting means 15.
9 and the variable display stop timing extracting means 159
Selects a selection signal to be output to the stop timing signal generating means 158 at random based on the set random number. That is, when the special game right is set to be generated with a relatively high probability, a random number with a relatively high probability is supplied from the right occurrence rate setting control means 160 to the variable display stop timing extracting means 159, and the random number is set. The variable display stop timing extracting means 159 selects the first state selection signal with a high probability based on. If the special game right is set to be generated with a relatively low probability, a random number with a relatively low probability is supplied from the right occurrence rate setting control means 160 to the variable display stop timing extracting means 159, and the random number is set. The variable display stop timing extracting means 159 selects the first state selection signal with a low probability (in other words, selects the third state selection signal with a high probability) based on. Note that the right generation rate setting control means 160 outputs a setting right generation rate display signal corresponding to the selected random number to the setting right generation rate display 37, so that the setting right generation rate display 37 displays the setting right generation rate. Then, the administrator can confirm whether the selected random number is appropriate or not.

Next, the above-described base value comparing / determining means 15
A specific example of the variable display control means 148 which is controlled by the control unit 2 to correct the return rate will be described with reference to FIG.

The gate passing ball detection signal from the gate passing ball detector 12 is input to the pass detection storage means 161 and "1" is added to the starting storage value based on the passing prize. When the start storage value is set, the passage detection storage unit 161 outputs a winning number storage signal to the display control unit 162, and also outputs a conversion operation command to the operation timing control unit 163 via the conversion operation command signal line L36. Output a signal. In this way, the display control means 162 outputs the winning number storage display signal to the winning number storage display lamp 45, and stores and displays the number of winning prize to the passing gate 11, and the operation timing control means 163 outputs the conversion command signal. The conversion command signal is sent to the display variable control means 164 via the line L37.
Output to The winning number storage signal output from the passage detection storing means 161 is a winning number storage signal line L24 '.
There as also supplied to the second game control means 14 1 through (in FIG. 22).

Note that, among the winning number storages based on the gate passing ball detection signal inputted from the gate passing ball detector 12, the winning number storage used for the conversion operation of the variable display device 6 is not displayed as a memory but is displayed variably. Only the detection signal input during the conversion operation of the device 6 may be displayed as the winning number storage. For example, the passage detection storage unit 161
When the winning number storage input to the display control means 162 is "1", the winning number storage display is regarded as "0" and the winning number storage display lamp 45 is not turned on, and the winning number storage is performed. Is "2", the winning number storage display lamp 45 is caused to display the stored number "1".
If the display control means 162 is configured in advance, or if a conversion operation command signal is output based on the gate passing ball detection signal input first, the passage detection storage means 161 uses the detection signal as a winning number. It may be configured not to be stored, and the detection signal input thereafter may be stored as the winning number storage.

The operation timing control means 163 having received the conversion operation command signal from the passage detection storage means 161 outputs a conversion command signal to the display variable control means 164 and outputs a timing start command signal to the timer means 165. ,
Based on the input of the timing start command signal, the timer means 16
5 starts time measurement for a predetermined time (for example, 5.5 seconds).

The operation timing control means 163
Display variable control means 164 to which the conversion command signal is input
Generates a display symbol each time an update pulse is input from the display update pulse generator 166, and sends a display symbol signal corresponding to the display symbol to the display controller 167 on the display symbol signal line L3.
9 and the display control means 167 outputs a conversion command signal corresponding to the input display symbol signal to the variable display device 6.
By performing the output, the conversion operation of the display symbol is performed. The conversion command signal output from the display control means 167 is also supplied to the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149, so that the display symbol displayed on the variable display device 6 can be known by the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149. What is it doing?

As described above, when the timer 165 measures a predetermined time after the conversion display of the variable display device 6 is started, the timer 165 outputs a time-up signal line L4
A time-up signal is output to the operation timing control means 163 via 0, and the operation timing control means 163 outputs a stop timing extraction command signal in response to the input of the time-up signal. This stop timing extraction command signal is
It is supplied to the variable display stop timing extracting means 159 and the random number selecting means 168 in the variable display control means 148.

The random number selection means 168 includes a plurality of types of random number tables having different probabilities, for example, a first random number table 169 (a random number table having a relatively high probability),
There are provided three types of random number tables, a second random number table 170 (a normally used random number table) and a third random number table 171 (a relatively low probability random number table).
A first random number signal corresponding to an arbitrary number selected from the random number table 169 is supplied to one input terminal of a two-input first AND circuit 172, and a second random number signal corresponding to an arbitrary number selected from the second random number table 170 is input. A random number signal is supplied to one input terminal of a two-input second AND circuit 173, and a third random number signal corresponding to an arbitrary number selected from the third random number table 171 is supplied to one input terminal of a two-input third AND circuit 174. At the end, each is to be input. The other input terminal of the first AND circuit 172 receives the first selection signal from the base value comparison / determination means 152 via the first selection signal line L41, and the other input terminal of the second AND circuit 173 receives the base value. Comparison judgment means 152
The second selection signal is supplied to the other input terminal of the third AND circuit 174 via the second selection signal line L42, and the third selection signal is supplied to the other input terminal of the third AND circuit 174 via the third selection signal line L43 by the base value comparison / determination means 152. Each is entered.

In the non-intervention game state (the state in which the base value comparison / judgment means 152 does not intervene in the game control for correcting the return rate), the base value comparison / judgment means 152 outputs the second selection signal to the variable display control means. 148, and a second random number signal is supplied from a second AND circuit 173 to a first OR circuit 175 based on the input of the second selection signal.
Is supplied to the random number extracting means 176 via the.
Then, when the stop timing extraction command signal from the operation timing control unit 163 is input to the random number extraction unit 176, the random number extraction unit 176 supplies the second random number signal to the stop symbol selection unit 177. The stop symbol selection means 177 selects a symbol corresponding to the supplied second random number signal, and supplies a stop symbol signal corresponding to the symbol to the display symbol replacement means 178 via the stop symbol signal line L44.

On the other hand, the stop timing extraction command signal output from the operation timing control means 163 based on the time-up of the timer means 165 is a two-input fourth stop signal.
The signal is also supplied to one input terminal of the AND circuit 179 (the signal level is inverted from "L" to "H"), and the other input terminal of the fourth AND circuit is provided with a stop timing signal generating means. The symbol stop timing signal 158 is supplied. Therefore, when the symbol stop timing signal is input (the signal level is inverted from “L” to “H”) according to the above-described predetermined stop timing (the sorting device 9 is in one of the first to third states). The AND gate is opened, and a symbol stop signal is output from the fourth AND circuit 179.

The display symbol replacing means 178 which has received the symbol stop signal outputs the stop symbol according to the stop symbol signal supplied from the stop symbol selecting means 177,
The stop symbol replacement signal is output to the display control means 167 via the stop symbol replacement signal line L45, and the contents (display symbols) of the conversion command signal output from the display control means 167 to the variable display device 6 are displayed by the display variable control means. 164 in preference to the symbol signals supplied from, let replaced stop symbols selected stop symbol selection unit 17 7, as stop symbols selected by the stop symbol selection unit 177 in the variable display device 6 is displayed You do it.

The symbol stop signal from the fourth AND circuit 179 is also input to the operation timing control means 163, and the operation timing control means 163 converts the symbol stop signal to the display variable control means 164 based on the input of the signal. The command signal output is stopped, and the display symbol signal is no longer supplied from the display variable control means 164 to the display control means 167. Therefore, the stop symbol selected by the stop symbol selection unit 177 is continuously displayed on the variable display device 6 from the display control unit 167. In addition, based on the input of the symbol stop signal, the operation timing control means 163 outputs a decrement signal to the passage detection storage means 161 via the subtraction signal line L46. "1" is deducted from the winning number storage of.

[0115] In the flow as described above, even after another player that converts variable display device 6 based on the game ball to the pass gate 1 1 is winning passes proceeded and the game is finished, passage detection storage If a winning memory exists in the means 161, another game based on the winning memory is restarted in the same manner. In the block diagram of the variable display control means 148 shown in FIG. 22, for the sake of convenience, only the conversion control and the stop control of a single variable display are shown for the sake of convenience. 1 variable display 7
a and the second variable display 7b,
It is preferable to appropriately delay the stop timings of the variable display devices 7a and 7b. For example, the first variable display 7a and the second variable display 7b are anticipated to have a different stop time, and
To output a symbol stop command signal slightly earlier than the third state, or to issue a stop timing extraction command for stopping the second variable display 7b again when the first variable display 7a stops. It can be dealt with by configuring.

The above is the control operation when the base value comparison / judgment means 152 does not intervene. For example, if the current base value is lower than the set base value, the base value comparison / judgment means 152 sets the first value. The selection signal is supplied to the variable display control means 148. When the first selection signal is input, a first random number having a relatively high probability of hitting is supplied to the random number extraction means 176, and the stop symbol selection means 1
77 increases the probability that the symbol selected is the prize mode, increases the probability that the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149 will be converted to the second state and accepts a hit ball, increases the number of prize balls to the player, and The value approaches the set base value.

On the other hand, if the current base value is higher than the set base value, the third selection signal is supplied from the base value comparison / determination means 152 to the variable display control means 148. When the third selection signal is input, a third random number having a relatively low probability of hitting is supplied to the random number extracting means 176, and the probability that the symbol selected by the stop symbol selecting means 177 is in the prize mode is reduced. The variable winning device control means 149 reduces the probability of being converted to the second state and accepting a hit ball, thereby reducing the number of prize balls to the player, thereby bringing the current base value closer to the set base value.

As described above, the variable display control means 14
After the conversion display control of the variable display device 6 is performed by the auxiliary display device 8, the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149 for performing operation control for converting the auxiliary variable winning device 10 to the second state according to the display symbol of the variable display device 6 is The stop symbol in the variable display device 6 is determined based on the conversion command signal supplied from the variable display control means 148 and the symbol stop signal.

The conversion command signal and the symbol stop signal from the variable display control means 148 are supplied to a stop symbol determination means 180 in the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149, and the symbol stop signal is input to the stop symbol determination means 180. The display symbol at the time when the signal level is "L") is compared with a symbol of a predetermined prize mode, and only when the prize mode is met, the hit determination signal is transmitted via the hit determination signal line L23. Are supplied to the drive control means 181, the timer means 182, and the winning ball counting means 183 in the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149, respectively. This signal is sent to the second game control means 141.
(See FIG. 23).

First, the drive control means 181 outputs an auxiliary variable winning device drive signal to the auxiliary variable winning device solenoid 81 of the auxiliary variable winning device 10 in response to the input of the hit determination signal, and the auxiliary variable winning device. 10 is converted to a second state that is advantageous to the player. Drive control means 1
81 Between the doing the conversion of the auxiliary change winning device 10, there as outputting an auxiliary fluctuation winning device operation signal to the variable display control means 148, the operation timing of the signal is variable display control means 148 While being input to the control means 163 , the variable display operation of the variable display device 6 based on the input of the gate passing ball detection signal is restricted.

On the other hand, in response to the input of the hit determination signal, the timer means 182 sets a predetermined time (for example, 1.5
), And the winning ball counting means 183 counts the auxiliary variable winning device winning signal from the auxiliary variable winning device count switch 75. Then, the timer means 182 outputs a time-up signal to the drive control means 181 via the time-up signal line L47 as the predetermined time elapses, and the winning ball counting means 183 outputs a predetermined number of auxiliary With the variable prize device counting the number of winning balls,
The predetermined winning ball counting signal is output to the drive control means 181 via the predetermined winning ball counting signal line L48.

In this embodiment, the predetermined number counted by the winning ball counting means 183 is set to “1”, so that the probability of generating special winning balls by the sorting device 9 of the right generating device 70 can be easily adjusted. I have. That is, only the ball that has won the auxiliary variable winning device 10 when the sorting device 9 is in the first state is treated as a special winning ball, and the ball that has won in the second and third states is treated as a general winning ball. This makes it possible to more appropriately control the right occurrence rate.

However, the number of winning balls counted by the winning ball counting means 183 is not limited to the one fixed to the initial set value.
The intervention in the game control by the base value comparison determination means 152 may be variably set. For example, when the current base value is significantly lower than the set base value, the count value of the prize ball counting means 183 is changed to “2”, and the number of discharged prize balls based on the prize in the auxiliary variable prize device 10 is changed. Is increased and the base value control is performed. In such a case, if it is necessary not to generate the right of the special game in the right generation rate control, if the auxiliary variable winning device 10 is converted to the second state when the classification device 9 is in the third state, the auxiliary The two balls that have won the variable prize winning device 10 are received by the first and second general prize ball receiving holes 97 and 98, so that the base value control can be performed without disturbing the right generation rate control of the special game. Can also be done.

In addition , the winning rate of the auxiliary variable winning device 10
By changing the discharge Award sphere based on adjusting the base value complement
When the correction is performed , the timer time of the timer means 182 is set to be changed to a longer time than usual, or when the base value is extremely low, the timer means 182 is deactivated.
Configured winning ball counter means 183 holds an auxiliary fluctuation winning device 10 until it detects a predetermined number of winning ball in the second state
I do . In this way, the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149
It is possible to change and set the required conversion time measured by the timer 152.
Base value correcting means 151, effective firing sphere number calculating means 1
53, the base value calculation means 154 and the like cooperate,
"Working on the conversion control means,
Change the conversion time for converting the material to the second state, and
Winning rate of the above-mentioned auxiliary variable prize winning device for the played game ball
Winning rate correction that can be corrected and controlled so that
It functions as "control means."

As described above, the opening end condition of the auxiliary variable winning device 10 is satisfied (in the present embodiment, the time-up signal from the timer means 182 or the predetermined winning ball counting signal from the winning ball counting means 183). When any of the earliest signals is input), the drive control means 181 stops the output of the auxiliary variable winning device drive signal to the auxiliary variable winning device solenoid 81, and the auxiliary variable winning device 10 is disadvantageous for the player. Again to the first state. Further, the drive control unit 181 stops outputting the auxiliary variable winning device drive signal to the auxiliary variable winning device solenoid 81,
The signal output to the variable display control means 148 during the operation of the auxiliary variable winning device is also stopped, and the variable display control means 148 returns to a state in which the variable display device 6 can perform variable display.

Next, the base value setting control means 150 as the return rate setting means for setting the return rate to the player will be described with reference to FIG. First, in order to activate the base value setting control means 150, a first key insertion detection signal is output from the first key insertion detector 143 using the first key. This signal is used as the base value selection means 184, the set base value storage means 185, and the set base value display control means 1
These are activated as they are input to 86,
It is in a state where setting is possible.

When the base value selection means 184 is activated, the base value selection signal from the base value setting switch 142 can be effectively received. A base value selection signal is input from the value setting switch 142 to the base value selection means 184. Then, the base value selection means 184 sets the base value corresponding to the selection signal to the base value 1, which is provided in the base value setting control means 150 in advance.
One of the base value 2, the base value 3,..., The base value n is selected, and the base value is supplied to the set base value storage unit 185 and the set base value display control unit 186.

The set base value storage means 185 stores and holds the selected base value as a set base value, and supplies the set base value to the base value comparison / judgment means 152. Further, the set base value display control means 186 outputs a set base value display signal to the set base value display 38 so that a numerical value or the like corresponding to the selected base value is visually displayed on the set base value display 38. The base value set as described above is confirmed to be an appropriate value, and when the administrator pulls out the first key, the first key insertion detector 143
When the first key insertion detection signal is no longer input, the base value selection unit 184, the set base value storage unit 185, and the set base value display control unit 186 are again deactivated and fixed at the set base value. . Further, it is assumed that the display of the setting base value display 38 is turned off with the fixing of the setting base value, and that the contents of the setting base value are known to a person other than the administrator who has performed the setting operation. It can be prevented.

Note that the set base value set in this manner is stored and held as a valid set base value until a new base value is selected even after the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned off. , A backup function or the like may be added. In the present embodiment, the set base value is selected from the base values set in the base value setting control means 150 in advance. Or from the management device of the game store).

Next, a right occurrence rate setting control means 160 for setting a right occurrence rate which is a probability of a specific game state.
Will be described with reference to FIG. First, in order to activate the right occurrence rate setting control means 160, a second key insertion detection signal is output from the second key insertion detector 145 using the second key. This signal is used random number selecting means 18
7, upon being input to the selected random number storage means 188 and the set right occurrence rate display control means 189, these are activated and become ready to be set.

When the use random number selecting means 187 is activated, it becomes possible to effectively receive the right generation rate selection signal from the right generation rate setting switch 144, and the administrator selects and operates the right generation rate setting switch 144. As a result, a right occurrence rate selection signal is input from the right occurrence rate setting switch 144 to the use random number selection means 187. And
Using random selection means 187, a random number as the rights generation rate corresponding to the selected signal, advance rights incidence setting control unit 16
Random number 1, random number 2, random number 3, ..., random number n provided in 0
And supplies the selected random number to the selected random number storage unit 188 and the set right occurrence rate display control unit 189.

The selected random number storage means 188 stores and holds the selected random number as a selected random number, and supplies the selected random number to the variable display stop timing extracting means 159. In addition, the set right occurrence rate display control means 189 outputs the set right occurrence rate display signal so that the random number selected for the selected random number storage means 188 is visually displayed by the set right occurrence rate display 37. Output to the container 37. When the right generation rate set as described above is confirmed to be an appropriate value and the administrator pulls out the second key, the second key insertion detection signal from the second key insertion detector 145 is not input. By using the random number selection means 187,
The selected random number storage means 188 and the set right occurrence rate display control means 189 are deactivated again, and are fixed at the right occurrence rate (selected random number). It is also assumed that the display of the right occurrence ratio display 37 is turned off when the right occurrence ratio is fixed, and that the contents of the right occurrence ratio are known to anyone other than the administrator who has performed this setting operation. It can be prevented.

It should be noted that the right occurrence rate set in this way is stored and held as a valid right occurrence rate until a new right occurrence rate is selected even after the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned off. As described above, a backup function or the like may be added. Further, in the present embodiment, the used random number selecting means 187 selects two kinds of random numbers from a random number group set in advance in the right occurrence rate setting control means 160 in accordance with the right occurrence rate selection signal. However, two kinds of random numbers are specified from outside (from the right occurrence rate setting switch 144 and the like),
It may be configured so that it can be set.

Thus, the right occurrence rate setting control means 160
The selection random number supplied thereto is supplied to the variable display stop timing extracting means 159, and the variable display stop timing extracting means 159 selects one of the first to third states of the sorting device 9 and stops the selection signal. The first to third states of the sorting device 9 supplied to the timing signal generating means 158 and input from the rotating body position detecting means 156 are adapted to the selection signal from the variable display stop timing extracting means 159. based on the symbol stop timing signal from the stop timing signal generating means 158 is sent to the variable display control means 1 48 is being subjected to the control of the variable display device 6. Variable display stop timing extraction unit 159 for performing the series of operations interrelated with a stop timing signal generating means 158, the rotational position detecting means 156
Will be described with reference to FIG.

The selected random number supplied from the right generation rate setting control means 160 is supplied to the random number extracting means 190 of the variable display stop timing extracting means 159, and a stop timing extraction command signal is input from the variable display control means 148. Accordingly, the random number extracting means 190 extracts an arbitrary number from the supplied random numbers. The extracted number is supplied to the stop timing selecting means 191. The stop timing selecting means 191 causes the first stop timing, the second stop timing, and the second stop timing according to each of the first to third states.
One of the third stop timings is selected. And the first
When the stop timing is selected, the first stop timing signal is transmitted via the first stop timing signal line L49. When the second stop timing is selected, the second stop timing is transmitted via the second stop timing signal line L50. Timing signal
When the third stop timing is selected, the third stop timing signal is supplied to the stop timing compulsory setting means 192 via the third stop timing signal line L51.

The stop timing compulsory setting means 192
Outputs the first to third selection signals to the stop timing signal generator 158 in response to the first to third stop timing signals from the stop timing selector 191. However, while the right generating signal is being input from the second game control means 141, the third selection signal is output in preference to the stop timing signal from the stop timing selection means 191. . By doing so, it is possible to prevent a special prize ball from being generated during the generation of the right for the special game, and to minimize the right of the special game from disappearing (so-called puncture) on the way.

On the other hand, the rotator position detecting means 156 to which the rotator position detection signal from the rotator position detector 113 is inputted.
Is based on the time point at which the rotator position detection signal is input, and simulates the elapsed time from the input as the amount of rotation of the rotator 86, so that the game ball standby unit 88a and each winning ball receiving unit 97
That is, the first to third states are determined based on the relative positional relationship with the first to third states. The determination of the position of the rotating body 86 is performed by the rotating body position determining means 193 constituted by a demultiplexer or the like. After a rotating body position detection signal is input from the rotating body position detector 113 to the reset terminal,
Each time the basic clock is input from the clocking means 157, the rotating body position determining means 193 outputs a signal to a plurality of output terminals in a fixed order. Therefore, if it is possible to know to which signal terminal the signal is output, the elapsed time (the amount of rotation of the rotating body 86) after reset (after the input of the rotating body position detection signal) can be determined. is there.

For example, assuming that it takes nine seconds for the rotating body 86 to make one rotation, and the basic clock is output at one-second intervals from the timer 157, the rotating body position detector 113 outputs a rotating body position detection signal. The period during which “3 clocks” are supplied from the clocking means 157 to the rotating body position determining means 193 after the input of “.
The period during the supply corresponds to the second state, and thereafter, corresponds to the third state. Then, after "3 clocks" are further supplied from the third state, a time substantially equal to the input of "1 clock" elapses, or the rotating body position detection signal is synchronized with the clock input. Is the rotating body position determining means 1
This is input to 93 and reset, so that the rotating body 86 has just made one rotation.

For the rotator position discriminating means 193 configured as described above, three output signal lines based on three clock inputs after reset are sent to the third OR circuit 194 and based on four to six clock inputs after reset. 3 output signal lines to 4th
Each is connected to an OR circuit 195. Thus, the second OR circuit 194 outputs a signal indicating that the sorting device 9 is in the first state from the third OR circuit 195, and the third OR circuit 195 indicates that the sorting device 9 is in the second state. The meaningful second state signal is output. Also, the first
From the fifth AND circuit 196 to which the in-state signal and the second-state signal are inverted and input, when both the first-state signal and the second-state signal are off (the signal level is “L”), , Which is output only when the rotating body 86 is in the third state.
It becomes a signal during the state.

The rotating body position detecting piece 114 in this embodiment is attached to the rotating body 86 as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, and the first general winning opening 97 is provided with the game ball waiting section 88a. After passing, the rotating body position detecting piece 114
Is detected by the rotating body position detector 113 (see FIG. 27). By doing so, after the rotator position detection piece 114 outputs the rotator position detection signal,
The first variable display device 6, the second variable display 7a, the second state variable over operation of the auxiliary change winning device 10 based on the prize mode to 7b are formed is carried out, from the auxiliary change winning device 10 When a winning ball reaches the sorting device 9 via the game ball inlet 93, the sorting device 9 is in the first state, and the winning ball is received by the special winning ball receiving unit 99 (FIG. 28). reference).

As described above, the first state signal supplied to the stop timing signal generating means 158 is a two-input sixth signal.
To one input terminal of the AND circuit 197, to one input of the seventh AND circuit 1 98 in the second state in the signal 2 input, third
State in the signal some as being respectively supplied to one input terminal of the eighth AND circuit 1 99 2 inputs. The other input terminal of the sixth AND circuit 197 receives the first state selection signal from the variable display stop timing extracting means 159, and the other input terminal of the seventh AND circuit 198 receives the second state selection signal.
A third state selection signal is input to the other input terminal of the eighth AND circuit 199, and any one of the first to third state selection signals output from the stop timing compulsory setting means 192 is input. One of the AND gates is opened based on the input of the signals in the first to third states from the rotating body position detecting means 156 to the input sixth to eighth AND circuits 197 to 199. This output signal is output as a symbol stop timing signal via the fourth OR circuit 200.

Thus, according to the first to third states selected by the variable display stop timing extracting means 159, when the sorting device 9 enters the selected state, the stop timing signal generating means 158 outputs the symbol stop timing. The variable display control means 148 is output based on the symbol stop timing signal.
Stops the symbol of the variable display device 6. When the stop symbol forms a prize mode, the auxiliary variable winning device 10 is selected while the sorting device 9 is selected by the variable display stop timing extracting means 159.
Is converted into the second state, and the winning prize ball which has won the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10 and supplied to the sorting device 9 has a probability of approaching a preset right occurrence rate, and has a general winning ball exit. It is sorted to 71 or a special winning ball exit 72.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 26, the first output from the variable display stop timing extracting means 159
To the third state selection signal are continuously output until a new state selection is made, and each time the sorting device 9 is in the state selected by the variable display stop timing extraction unit 159, the stop timing signal is output. The symbol stop timing signal is output from the generating means 158. However, the symbol stop timing signal is output from the variable display control unit 14.
8 is not output from the fourth AND circuit 179 unless a stop timing extraction command signal is output from the operation timing control means 163 in the variable display control means 148. Therefore, there is no problem in the configuration.

However, when the symbol stop timing signal is input from the stop timing signal generation means 158 to the fourth AND circuit 179 when the stop timing extraction command signal is input to the fourth AND circuit 179, the variable display stop is performed. Before a new state is selected by the timing extracting means 159, the variable display device 6 is stopped, and if the stopped symbol forms a prize mode, classification different from the original probability adjustment is performed. The operation is performed. Such a situation is extremely rare and is negligible in game control over a long period of time. However, in order to further control the right occurrence rate control of special games, for example, classification Stop timing compulsory setting means 192 for a time substantially equal to one rotation of the rotating body 86 of the device 9
May continuously output the first to third state selection signals, or the signal output may be stopped based on a reset signal being input from the variable display 148 that has received the symbol stop timing signal. What should I do?

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 26, the position of the rotating body is determined by outputting a signal from the rotating body position determining means 193 every fixed time (for example, every 1 second). It is assumed that the symbol stop timing signal based on the selected state is output in the first state close to the third state, or is output in the first state close to the second state. If the symbol stop timing signal is output at such a timing, the probability of winning a prize to another prize port irregularly increases, and in extreme cases, the right game rate control of the special game is hindered. It could come. Therefore, when the auxiliary variable winning device 10 is converted to the second state, the rotating body 86 of the sorting device 9 rotates one turn at a timing when the rotating body 86 has the highest probability of being accepted by the intended winning opening of the rotating body 86. During the first to third states, the rotator position detecting means 156 outputs the signal once.
May be configured.

Next, the second game control means 141 for controlling the special game by operating the variable winning device 8 and the like as described above.
Will be described with reference to FIG.

Is converted from the first state disadvantageous to the player to the second state advantageous to the player.

The special device driving signal is also supplied to the winning number counting means 208 and the specific winning control means 204. The input of the signal activates the winning number counting means 208, Specific winning control means 204
During the input of the special device drive signal, the output of the special winning opening operation start signal based on the input of the new specific winning ball detection signal is regulated. Further, the special device drive signal is also transmitted to the sound effect generating means 202 (FIG. 29).
Middle)), the speaker 146
An appropriate audio output signal is issued to the player to make the player recognize that the variable winning device 8 is operating.

In the present invention, the setting operation section 35 for setting the probability of the variable display device 6 and setting the reference base value is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, if a combination of the base value and the right occurrence rate is set in advance, and this combination is set as a selection mode, and an appropriate selection is made from these modes, the setting of the base value and the right occurrence rate is collectively performed. It is possible to do it. In addition, these settings may be made from a management device that comprehensively manages various gaming machines 1 in the amusement store.

Next, as a specific example of the electric control device 33 enabling the mode setting based on the combination of the base value and the right occurrence rate as described above, the first game control means 140 'of another embodiment will be described. The configuration will be described with reference to a block diagram shown in FIG. The first game control means 1 in FIG.
The description of the same components as those of the component 40 will be omitted by retaining the same reference numerals.

When the mode is set by the administrator, first, an appropriate key is inserted into the keyhole, so that the key insertion detection signal generated by the key insertion detector 211 is transmitted through the key insertion detection signal line L58. The signal is input to the setting control means 212, and based on the signal input, the mode setting control means 212
Is activated, and a state in which a selection mode signal input from the mode setting switch 213 via the selection mode signal line L59 can be effectively received. Then, the mode setting control unit 212 selects a base value and a random number to be used according to the mode selection signal input from the mode setting switch 213, and extracts the base value selected by the base value comparison determination unit 152 to the variable display stop timing extraction. The selected use random numbers are supplied to the means 159, respectively. Further, the mode setting control means 212 outputs a setting mode display signal for displaying a setting mode corresponding to the selected mode to the setting mode display 214.
Is output via the setting mode display signal line L60.

The mode setting control means 212 has a configuration as shown in FIG. 31. When a key insertion detection signal from the key insertion detector 211 is input, the base value selection means 215 and the random number selection means 216 are used. When activated, the selection mode signal from the mode setting switch 213 is effectively received by the base value selection means 215 and the used random number selection means 216. The mode setting control unit 212 includes, for example, a base value 1 (high), a base value 2
(Medium), base value 3 (low), random number 1 (high), random number 2
(Medium), random number 3 (low) is set and input in advance, the base value selecting means 215 selects a base value corresponding to the selection mode signal from the base values 1 to 3, and the used random number selecting means 216 selects the random number 1
Random numbers corresponding to the selection mode are selected from ３ to ３.

The key insertion detection signal from the key insertion detector 211 is also input to the setting base value storage means 217, the setting mode display control means 218, and the selected random number storage means 219, and each is activated. The set base value storage unit 217 stores and holds the base value supplied from the base value selection unit 215 as a set base value, and supplies the set base value to the base value comparison determination unit 152 of the base value correction unit 151. There is. Further, the selected random number storage means 219 stores and holds the used random number supplied from the used random number selection means 216 as the selected random number, and supplies the selected random number to the variable display stop timing extracting means 159. Furthermore, setting mode display control means 21 8, a selection mode according to the selected mode signal supplied from the mode setting switch and setting mode, and outputs the set mode display signals corresponding to the set mode to the setting mode indicator 214 , The setting mode is displayed visually.

When three types of base values and three types of random numbers are provided, nine types of selection modes can be set based on a combination of these values. An example of the type of selection mode is shown below.

Mode 1 (store opening mode): base value 1 + random number 1 mode 2 (first normal business mode): base value 1 + random number 3 mode 3 (second normal business mode): base value 2 + random number 2 mode 4 (third mode) Normal business mode): Base value 2 + random number 3 Mode 5 (gamble mode): Base value 3 + random number 1 Mode 6 (sucking mode): base value 3 + random number 3

The first game control means 140, 140 'in each of the above-described embodiments is such that the base value comparison / judgment means 152 intervenes only in the variable display control (variable display formation probability control) of the variable display control means 148. However, when the base value correction means 151 is configured to intervene in the game control so as to adjust the base value by increasing or decreasing the number of winnings in the auxiliary variable winning device 10, the classification device of the right generating device 70 is used. In 9, the generation of three or more winning balls necessarily means the generation of special winning balls, and it is difficult to coexist with the base value control and the right occurrence rate control. In such a case, the number of permitted prizes to the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10 is limited to two or less,
When the base value correction means 151 changes the allowable winning number to "2", the output of the first state selection signal in the variable display stop timing extraction means 159 is regulated in conjunction with this, and the second state selection signal is output. Alternatively, only the third state selection signal may be output based on the random number selection. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the rate of occurrence of a right to play a special game from abnormally increasing when the base value of the gaming machine 1 decreases.

As described above, in the sorting apparatus 9 in the above-described embodiment, the limit of the allowable number of winnings is limited by the number of winning ball receiving holes formed in the rotating body 86, and the base value control and the right occurrence rate control are performed. In some cases, this is not desirable, but the separation means is not limited to the above-described separation device 9. Next, other sorting means will be described.

That is, the ball flow path to the special winning ball detector 237 is defined as a special winning area.
The spherical flow path from the first and second general winning ports 234 and 236 to the winning number detector 238 is used as a general winning area. Incidentally, the winning number detector 238 which functions as a winning ball detector for counting the winning number to the right generator 220, rather than disposed on the downstream side of each winning socket 234-2 36, the above-described As in the example, each winning ball may be provided at a position that can be detected immediately after winning (at a suitable position upstream of each of the winning ports 234 to 236).

Further, the tip of the first partition member 231 and the second
Small decorative plates 239 and 239 are provided at the tips of the partition members 232, respectively.
And attach the small decorative plates 239, 239 to the front decorative plate 2
When the first partitioning member 231 and the second partitioning member 232 swing by a driving mechanism described later, the small decorative plates 239, 239 at the distal end move in the left and right directions different from each other in the cutout. Approach or move away. That is, the special winning port 235 is widened by separating the two partition members 231 and 232 (the special winning port 23).
5) and the two partition members 23
A state in which the special prize port 235 is narrowed due to the proximity of the first and second general prize ports 234 (236) can be caused.

On the back side of the substrate 221, there is formed a concave chamber 229 whose bottom surface 230 is slightly inclined downward toward the opening 222, as described above, and the support shaft 240, A doll 241 is provided so as to be able to move up and down by 240, and a shelf-like ball guide plate 242 is provided in front of the doll 241 and inclined slightly downward toward the depth of the concave chamber 229, and windows formed on the left and right sides of the substrate 221. the rear parts 243,243 providing a semi-cylindrical decorative member 24 4,244 rotatably. On the back side of the concave chamber 229, a ball guiding piece driving mechanism for driving the ball guiding piece 225, a partition member driving mechanism for driving the first partitioning member 231 and the second partitioning member 232, and a doll 241 are driven. And a variable display member driving mechanism for driving a curtain 245 as a variable display member so as to hang from above in the recessed chamber 229.

As shown in FIGS. 34 and 35, the ball guide piece driving mechanism includes a driving source mounting plate 2 provided on the back side of the concave chamber 229.
46, two first solenoids 24 as electric driving sources.
7 and 247, a connecting rod 249 is fixed to the plunger 248 of each first solenoid 247, and one end of a spring 250 is connected to the connecting rod 249 to urge it, and a ball guide piece 225 is attached to one end. A crank-shaped rotation rod 251 is fixed to the other end of the rotation rod 226, and the pin 252 of the rotation rod 251 is loosely fitted into the hole 253 of the connection rod 249.

Therefore, when each first solenoid 247 is demagnetized, each ball guiding piece 225 is erected by the bias of the spring 250 to prevent a ball from entering the recessed chamber 229. That is, the ball flowing down in the game section 5 is placed in the concave chamber 2.
This is the first state in which the liquid crystal is not introduced into the inside 29. As described above, in the first state, each ball guiding piece 225 also functions as a blocking member in connection with the portion protruding downward from the left and right of the armor portion 223 and the blocking wall 227, and these also serve as the first variable winning device. (In the right generating device 70, the auxiliary variable winning device 1
0).

On the other hand, when the first solenoids 247 and 247 are excited, the plunger 248 is raised against the bias of the spring 250, and the rotating rod 251, the support shaft 226 and the ball guiding piece 225 are rotated by approximately 90 degrees. I do. When each ball guiding piece 225 is rotated in a direction in which the upper end is tilted outward in this manner, the ball flowing down in the game section 5 is received on the ball guiding piece 225 and guided to the ball guide plate 242, that is, the ball To a second state that is easy to accept. Each ball guiding piece 2 in the second state
The ball received by the ball 25 rolls on the ball guide plate 242 toward the depth of the concave chamber 229, and then passes through the gap between the lower end of the ball guide plate 242 and the front wall of the concave chamber 229. It falls on the bottom surface 230 of the chamber 229 and rolls toward the opening 222 due to the downward inclination of the bottom surface 230, and each winning port 234.
To 236. Thus, each ball guiding piece 225
Functions as a sphere introducing means for introducing a sphere into the concave chamber 229 in the second state.

When each of the first solenoids 247 is demagnetized, the plunger 248
Descends and pivots back on the support shaft 226, so that the ball guiding piece 2
25 returns to return to the upright first state in which the ball is not received from the sideways second state in which the ball is easily received.
The condition for returning to the first state is determined by the auxiliary variable winning device control means 149 of the electric control device 33 in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment, and a predetermined number of winning balls are detected by the winning number detector 238, for example. Based on the detection or when the second state conversion time exceeds a predetermined time, the output of the auxiliary variable winning device drive signal is stopped to return the ball guiding piece 225 to the upright state.

The partition member driving mechanism shown in the drawing not only drives the first partition member 231 and the second partition member 232, but also the decorative members 244, 2 provided on the left and right sides of the substrate 221.
44 is also driven, and a motor 2 with a speed reducer is provided as an electric drive source on a base plate 254 provided on the back side of the concave chamber 229.
55 and the output shaft 256 of the motor 255
The driving pins 258 and 2 project from the rear ends of the first partitioning member 231 and the second partitioning member 232, respectively.
58 is loosely fitted into the substantially elliptical groove 259 of the cam 257 at a position shifted by about 180 degrees around the output shaft 256. Further, the cam 257 described above and臨設the first photosensor 2 60 as the stop position detector, the cam 257
The protrusion 261 protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the are to actuate the first photosensor 2 60.

In the partition member driving mechanism configured as described above, the cam 257 always stops with the short diameter portion of the groove 259 directed vertically and the long diameter portion directed horizontally. In this state, since the respective drive pins 258 of the first partition member 231 and the second partition member 232 are fitted into the long diameter portion of the groove 259, the distal end portion of the first partition member 231 and the second partition member 23
2 is the closest to the tip, so special prize slot 2
35 becomes the minimum and the first general prize slot 23
4 and the width of the second general prize port 236 are the largest. In addition,
The special winning opening 235 may be set to be narrower than the ball diameter when the width is minimum, or may be set to be slightly wider than the ball diameter. In addition, special winning opening 2
3 the minimum width of 5 when set narrower than spherical diameter is ball first flowing down from the bottom surface 230, a second partition member 231,2
Since there is a possibility that the vehicle stays on the upper end of the partition member 32, it is possible to remove such a case by using appropriate retention preventing means (for example, by setting one partition member higher than the other partition member and making it unstable). State, or a downflow direction conversion unit that converts the downflow direction of the sphere to left or right is formed.)

The operation of the motor 255 causes the cam 2 to move.
When the 57 rotates, the drive pin 25 of the first partitioning member 231 is rotated.
8 and the groove 259 in which the drive pin 258 of the second partition member 232 is fitted moves, and both drive pins 258, 258 are moved into the groove 259.
Are fitted to each other while moving relatively to the minor diameter portion. Therefore, the distance between the two drive pins 258, 258 is reduced, whereby the first partition member 231 and the second partition member 232 are
33 and 233, the distance between the leading end of the first partitioning member 231 and the leading end of the second partitioning member 232 is gradually enlarged, and the cam 257 becomes substantially nine.
When rotated 0 degrees, the above interval, that is, the special winning opening 235
Is the largest, and the first general winning opening 2
34 and the width of the second general winning opening 236 are reduced to a minimum. Then, when the cam 257 further rotates, the distance between the distal end portion of the first partition member 231 and the distal end portion of the second partition member 232 is gradually reduced, that is, the width of the special winning opening 235 is gradually reduced. 1st general prize slot 23
4 and the width of the second general winning opening 236 are gradually increased.

When the cam 257 rotates substantially 180 degrees in this manner, the width of the special winning opening 235 becomes minimum, and the width of the first general winning opening 234 and the second general winning opening 236 becomes maximum. When it is rotated approximately 270 degrees, the width of the special winning port 235 becomes maximum and the first general winning port 2
34 and the width of the second general winning opening 236 are minimized, and when rotated approximately 360 degrees, the widths of the first general winning opening 234, the special winning opening 235, and the second general winning opening 236 respectively return to the initial state. I do.

Therefore, when the cam 257 rotates, the width of the special winning port 235 gradually increases, and the width of the first general winning port 234 and the second general winning port 236 gradually decreases. Is extremely easy to enter the special winning opening 235, that is, the probability of winning increases, and the first general winning opening 234.
Is difficult to enter the second general winning reception 236, that is, the probability of winning is reduced. Then, the probability of winning in the special winning opening 235 becomes highest when the cam 257 rotates 90 degrees and 270 degrees, and at this time, the first general winning opening 234 and the second general winning opening 236 are won. Probability is lowest.

The partition member driving mechanism includes both decorative members 2.
In order to drive 44, 244, support pins 262, 262 are protruded from base plate 254 slightly above cam 257, and elongated holes 264, 264 of horizontally long interlocking member 263 provided along the front surface of base plate 254. In the support pin 262,
262 is loosely fitted, and the claw piece 2 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the cam 257.
The receiving pin 26 is located substantially at the center of the interlocking member
6, and one end of a spring 267 is connected to the base hook of the receiving pin 266 to urge the interlocking member 263 to one side, and each interlocking rod protrudes forward from the left and right ends of the interlocking member 263. 268 to the arm 269 of the decorative member 244
Loosely fit in the hole.

Therefore, when the cam 257 rotates by the operation of the motor 255, the claw 265 that rotates integrally with the cam 257 comes into contact with the receiving pin 266, and the receiving pin 266 resists the urging of the spring 267. Te pressed in FIG 5 left. Interlocking members 263 receiving pin 266 is pressed 3 5
When moved to the left, the interlocking rod 268 rotates the arm 269, whereby the decorative member 244 slowly rotates about the shaft 270. When the cam 257 further rotates to sufficiently move the interlocking member 263, the claw 265
There therefore deviate from the receiving pin 266, the interlocking member 263 is moved back to FIG 5 the right by the urging of the spring 267, thereby decorative member 244 is rotated back about the shaft 270.

As described above, the motor 2 of the partition member drive mechanism
When the cam 257 is rotated by the operation of the
The partition members 231 and 232 move to receive the special winning reception 235.
And the interlocking member 263 reciprocates left and right, and reciprocates the two decorative members 244 and 244.
Note that the partition member drive mechanism can move the first partition member 231 and the second partition member 232 constituting the special winning port 235 to change the effective width of each of the winning ports 234, 235, 236. The configuration is not limited to the driving of the cam 257 and may be any configuration. For example, it may be driven by a solenoid via a link mechanism.

As shown in FIG. 34, the doll driving mechanism is provided with a second solenoid 271 as an electric drive source on the back side of the base plate 254, and the shaft 272 extends through the base plate 254 in the middle of its length. The swinging rod 273 is pivotally attached to the pivot shaft 273 so that one end of the swinging rod 273 faces the plunger of the second solenoid 271, and the tip of the support shaft 240 projecting rearward from the doll 241 is pivoted to the swinging rod 273. At the other end of the fork. Therefore, when the second solenoid 271 is excited intermittently, the plunger reciprocates up and down and reciprocates the swinging rod 273, and the swinging rod 273
The doll 241 moves up and down due to the swing of. Thus, the second
When the doll 241 can be moved up and down by driving the solenoid 271, the player can be moved up and down when the game state is changed in the game (in this embodiment, when the right of the special game is generated). Not only can this be displayed visually, but also the decorative effect can be enhanced.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the hanging of the curtain 245 in the concave chamber 229 can also inform the player of the change of the game state. The variable display member driving mechanism that drives the curtain 245 includes a concave chamber 229.
Has a long lower plate 274 and an upper plate 275 shorter than the lower plate 274 on the upper surface of the lower plate 27, which is separated from the upper plate 275.

8 is provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, one end of a curtain 245 is connected to the tip of the slide plate 278, and a pinion gear 280 is attached to an output shaft of a geared motor 279 provided as an electric drive source. Is engaged with the rack gear 281 on the upper surface of the slide plate 278.

A second photo sensor 282 and a third photo sensor 283 for detecting the position of the slide plate 278 are provided at the rear end of the upper plate 275 and the rear end of the lower plate 274. The first blocking piece 284 acting on the slide plate 278 and the second blocking piece 285 acting on the third photosensor 283 are placed on the slide plate 278.
8 at the rear end.

The above-mentioned slide plate 278 is always located at the rear end portion in the guide groove 276, and is stopped with the second blocking piece 285 acting on the third photo sensor 283. In this state, the curtain 245 holds the slide plate 27
8 and is stored in the front part in the guide groove 276. Therefore, the player cannot see the curtain 245.

On the other hand, when the pinion gear 280 is rotated by the operation of the geared motor 279, the pinion gear 28
The rack gear 281 that meshes with the slide plate 278 moves forward with the slide plate 278, that is, toward the opening 222 of the substrate 221, and the vertical plate 245 is moved from the slit hole in the ceiling surface of the recess 229 into the recess 229 by the movement of the slide plate 278. When the curtain 245 hangs down sufficiently, the first blocking piece 2
84 acts on the second photosensor 282. If the weight 286 is fixed to the end of the curtain 245, the curtain 24
5 descends smoothly.

Then, when the second photo sensor 282 operates, the geared motor 279 reverses. Therefore, the slide plate 278 retreats, and the curtain 245 is raised by the operation of the slide plate 278. When the slide plate 278 retreats sufficiently, the second blocking piece 285 acts on the third photo sensor 283, and the geared motor 279 stops.

As described above, the curtain 245 is the geared motor 2
When the geared motor 279 is operated at the time of changing the game state, the curtain 245 hangs down in the recess 229 to inform the player of that fact, and the curtain can be informed. The decoration effect can be enhanced by the appearance of the 245.

A winning number display 287 is provided at an appropriate position in the opening 222 so that the player can visually recognize the memory of the number of winning balls that have passed through the passing gate 11. A variable display device 288 composed of a segment type variable display is provided so that another game based on the above-mentioned winning memory can be performed.

The rights generation device 220 configured as described above
In the same manner as in the right generation device 70, the ball guiding pieces 225 and 225 are opened to the left and right based on the formation of the prize mode on the variable display device 288, and the concave chamber 229 is formed.
To the second state of accepting a ball in the right generation device 2
After the ball winning in 20 falls on the bottom plate 230,
Second general prize slot 234, 236, special prize slot 235
And is processed as a general winning ball or a special winning ball. Therefore, the base value of the gaming machine 1 is controlled by adjusting the probability that a prize mode is formed on the variable display device 288 and increasing or decreasing the number of discharge prize balls based on winning in the right generation device 220. On the other hand, the right occurrence rate of the gaming machine 1 is determined by the first and second partition members 231 and 231.
232, based on the operation timing.
The ball that wins within 0 is sent to the special prize slot 235 or the first
The control is performed by intentionally separating into the second general winning receptions 234 and 236.

[0191] Incidentally, spheres winning rights generator 220 is separated into special pay receptacle 23 5, special winning ball detector 2
When the special prize ball detection signal is sent from the 37 to the electric control device 33, the electric control device 33 intermittently excites the second solenoid 271 to move the doll 241 up and down and activates the geared motor 279. Activate the curtain 245
Is dropped in the concave room 229, and the fact that the player has the right to the special game is visually displayed. In addition, the doll 241 and the curtain 2
The visual display of the right generation state by 45 may be continued throughout the execution of the special game, or the operation may be started when each cycle of the special game is started.

In the right generating device 220, the first and second partition members 231 and 232 are driven to change the probability of winning in each of the winning openings 234 to 236. the bottom 2 30 for receiving a winning ball which has fallen by driving the winning receptacle 234 to 236
May be made variable. That is, rather than the bottom surface 230 is fixed to a predetermined angle of inclination, by adding an appropriate driving mechanism, the bottom 2 3
The bottom plate constituting 0 is rotated to the left and right, to the first general winning opening 234 when tilted to the left, to the second general winning opening 236 when tilted to the right, and specially when horizontal. Balls are guided to the prize receiving holes 235 in accordance with the inclination timing of the bottom plate so that they can be distinguished into special prize balls or general prize balls according to a preset probability set value. The pieces 25 may be converted to the second state.

Further, the inclination of the bottom plate is not limited to the left and right directions.
By tilting in the front-back direction or connecting the bottom plate and the vertical rotation axis by a ball joint, etc., the bottom plate can be tilted and rotated, and the prize slot is not only on the front side If it is formed on both the left and right sides and the back, it is possible to invite the ball to the winning opening in a specific direction according to the inclination state of the bottom plate at the time when the winning ball is allowed, and adjust the right generation rate Control can be performed well.

Further, the bottom plate is composed of two left and right tilt change plates, and both the tilt change plates are inclined downward toward the center, thereby forming a guide recess reaching the special winning opening. It is possible to separate the inflowing ball if the inclined variation plate rises and inclines toward the center to form a state in which a convex portion that rejects winning in the special winning opening is formed at a predetermined timing. Becomes

As described above, various kinds of classification means for separating the winning sphere into the special prize area or the general prize area are assumed, and are limited to only some of the classification means described in the present embodiment. is not. Further, the right generating devices 70, 220 and the like may be configured so as to be separately provided without being integrally combined with the first variable winning device.
