The main part of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is constructed as described above except for a control system described later. Act on

When power is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine by operating a power switch (not shown), first, "J" is displayed on the left symbol display portion 22 of the variable display portion 21 of the variable display device 20, and "J" is displayed on the middle symbol display portion 23. “Q” is displayed on the right symbol display section 24, and the normal game is started. Also, when power is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine, the ordinary symbol display unit 1
An arbitrary symbol is displayed at 00a, and the normal symbol variable display game is performed in parallel with the variable display game. As the display indicating the normal play state (normal state) of the variable display game, the stored number display lamps LED1 to LED4 provided on the variable display device 20 are displayed from inside to outside.
Lighting starts alternately from outside to inside. The decorative lamp LED5 and the decorative lamp LED7 are each set to a blinking display state.

At the time of the normal game, the player aims at the most advantageous left end nail 27a of the top five nails and hits a game ball into the left area of the game area 2 by the hitting ball firing device. The game ball hit to the left in this way is displayed on the variable display device 2.
When the game ball flows into the ball inlet 211 through the gap between the nails implanted adjacent to the left upper edge of the ball 0, the game ball is transferred to the ball guide path 214 of the variable display device 20 and the ball. The possibility of being guided by the guiding member 315 and winning the starting winning opening 5 increases (details will be described later). When the game ball wins the start winning opening 5, the winning is detected by the start winning detection switch SW1 installed in the internal flow path, and based on the detection, the winning number storage display lamps LEDs 1-4 of the variable display device 20 are turned on. It lights up as many as the winning. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time, one of the lit winning number storage display lamps LED1 to LED4 is turned off and the variable display device 2
The variable display game with 0 is started. It should be noted that the player enjoys the variable display game while performing left-hand hitting until all the lamps of the winning number storage display LEDs LED1 to LED4 are turned on.

This variable display game corresponds to the variable display section 21-3.
A symbol display fluctuating game in which the symbol displays of the playing cards of the two symbol display sections 22, 23, 24 are fluctuated so as to be independently turned one after another, and the fluctuating is stopped after the predetermined time has elapsed. It is performed as. For example, the stop symbol before the start of the game slowly changes to one rotation so that the left symbol display unit 22 of the variable display unit 21 notifies the player of the start of the game. For example, if the symbol before the start of the game is “1”, the symbol is changed from “1” to “2” while the playing cards are turned. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, "1" in a state where the card display portion 22a of the first layer pattern 25 is completely turned over is displayed. Then the second
The back card display part 22b of the layer pattern 26 is displayed as a back view of the card being turned over, then the front card display part 22c is displayed as a partly turned front view, and finally the card display part 22a is displayed. "2" in a completely turned state is displayed. In this way, a fluctuation cycle is formed in which the card display unit, the back card display unit, the front card display unit, and the card display unit are displayed in this order,
As the playing cards are turned one after another, the symbols are "1" to "2", "2" to "3", "3" to "4", ‥‥,
It circulates from "A" to "P" and from "P" to "1". The fluctuation speed of the symbol is slow at the start, and is performed at a high speed from the middle (for example, the third turning).

After a predetermined time elapses after the start of the change of the left symbol display section 22, the change of the symbol of the middle symbol display section 23 is performed in such a manner that the playing cards are turned like the change of the symbol of the left symbol display section 22. . After a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the fluctuation of the middle symbol display section 24, the fluctuation of the symbol of the right symbol display section 24 is started. The change of the symbol of the right symbol display section 24 is also performed by turning the playing cards, like the variation of the left symbol display section 22 and the middle symbol display section 23.
In the case of the variable display game, the variable display lamps L3 and L4 start blinking in addition to the decorative lamps LED5 and LED7 which were operated during the normal game.

Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the change of the left symbol display section 22, or after the stop button (not shown) is pressed, the left symbol display section 22 first stops the change. The mode of the stop of the fluctuation is such that the fluctuation becomes slower from the symbol before the stop (for example, the symbol two immediately before), and the fluctuation is stopped. For example, when the stop symbol is “0”, the change before displaying “8”, which is the symbol two before “0”, is a fast cycle, and the change after “8” is displayed is a slow cycle. I do. And
"0" is displayed on the card display section 22a and the left symbol display section 2 is displayed.
The fluctuation of 2 stops. After the left symbol display unit 22 stops, the variation of the symbol of the middle symbol display unit 23 is stopped in the same manner as the variation stop mode of the left symbol display unit 22.

At the time when the change of the symbol of the middle symbol display section 23 stops, if the stop symbol of the middle symbol display section 23 does not match the stop symbol of the left symbol display section 24 (the possibility of occurrence of a special game). If the reach state is not reached), the stop of the symbol change of the right symbol display section 24 is immediately performed after the stop of the middle symbol in the same manner as the stop of the change of the left symbol and the middle symbol. And each lamp (LED5, L
ED7, L3, L4) are extinguished, and an off display is performed. However, if they match (if they are in the reach state), the display of the right symbol display section 24 fluctuates so as to be turned at a slow speed (for example, 420 msec per fluctuation cycle) and stops. In addition, when reaching, the decoration lamp LED6 and the hit display lamp 10 are also blinked. When the right symbol is stopped, when the variable display game is in a winning mode, for example, in a mode in which all the three symbols at the time of the stop match, the game is a "big hit" and a big hit game (special game) is performed.

Here, the "big hit" game (special game) is a game mode in which the player is provided with a lot of chances to obtain prize balls. In the case of this embodiment, the predetermined value of the door 51 of the variable prize device 50 is determined. One cycle of opening (for example, 29 seconds) (however, a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 1
0) When a prize is won, the opening up to that point is defined as one cycle), and during each cycle, a game ball flows into the continuous prize port 54 of the large prize port 53 of the variable prize apparatus 50 and the continuous prize detection therein is detected. The detection by the switch SW3 is performed continuously as a continuation condition (cycle update condition), for example, up to 16 cycles.

If the game ball that has flowed down without flowing into the ball inlet 211 while the variable display game transitions to the big hit wins the specific winning opening 9, the winning is set in the internal flow path. It is detected by the ordinary symbol switch SW6. Based on this detection, the symbol of the ordinary symbol display section 100a of the ordinary symbol display device 100 starts to change. This ordinary symbol variable display game as an auxiliary variable display game is "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
The ten symbols "9,0" are circulated in this order at a rate whose variation cannot be traced. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time from the start of the change of the ordinary symbol display unit 100a or the pressing of a stop button (not shown), the ordinary symbol display unit 100a stops the change. It is determined whether or not the stopped symbol is a hit at the time when the normal symbol display unit 100a stops. In this case, the probability of occurrence of a hit in the variable symbol display game is changed according to the progress of the variable display game. For example, the hit probability (eg, 4 The hit is generated with a hit probability (for example, 1/12) lower than 1 /).

As a result of the determination, when the stop symbol is a winning symbol, the movable portion 710 of the ordinary electric accessory 70 is determined.
Is turned into an inverted “C” shape to be in an open state, and the game ball is converted into a state in which it is easy to win the starting winning opening 4. Such a conversion operation of the movable unit 710 is performed such that the opening and closing of the movable unit 710 is repeated a predetermined number of times during a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) until a big hit occurs in the variable display game. For example, the operation is performed such that the open state for 2 seconds and the closed state for 6 seconds are repeated in the aforementioned 30 seconds. This is the movable part 71
If the open state of 0 continues, the number of game balls won in the starting winning opening 4 or more exceeds the number of stored prizes (four), and the number of stored spheres may overflow, so that such an overflow is avoided. In addition, the control for continuing the closed state for 6 seconds considers that the variable display section 21 has a fluctuation time of about 6 seconds, and when the fluctuation of the variable display section 21 stops, the movable section 710 is set to the open state. This is for conversion. Note that the number of times for opening and closing the movable member 710 and the opening and closing time may be any number and time.

When the movable portion 710 is in the open state, the game ball which has won the starting winning opening 4 is detected by the starting winning detection switch SW1 installed on the internal path, and the above-mentioned starting winning opening is provided. As in the case of the winning of 5, the stored number indicating lamps LED1 to LED4 of the variable display device are turned on by the number of the winning. In addition, the number of winnings that have won the specific winning opening 9 and have not yet played the ordinary symbol variable display game are displayed as the number of lights on the storage display unit 100b.

By the way, during the special game of the variable display game, since the nail on the right side of the game area 2 is specially arranged as described above, it is more advantageous for the player to right-hand. That is, if the player operates the launching device so that the game ball hits the buffer member 15 along the inside of the guardrail 3, the fired game ball inelastically collides with the buffer member 15 and becomes almost vertical. To the special winning opening 8 while the downflow direction is regulated by the downflow direction control nail groups 17, 19A, or the like, or further downflow direction control nail groups 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d, 18d. While being regulated in the downflow direction, etc., it is led into the big winning opening 53 of the variable winning device 50. By this right-handing, many game balls can be efficiently put into the special winning opening 53 or the special winning opening 8 in a short time, and as a result, the number of hit balls is subtracted from the number of winning balls. The number of acquired balls remaining at hand increases.

In the first cycle of the special game, the open state of the door 51 of the variable winning device 50 is kept for a predetermined time (for example, 2
When a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls have been won in the large winning opening 53 of the variable winning device 50 before the predetermined time elapses, or before the predetermined time elapses, the door 51 at that time.
Is closed. When a game ball wins in the continuous winning opening 54 during the special game of the first cycle, the special game of the second cycle is performed after a predetermined interval, and the special game is performed up to 16 times. It has become. At the above-mentioned predetermined interval (at this time, the door 51 of the variable winning device 50 is closed), the player makes a left hit so that the game ball flows down to the left side of the game area. When the left-handed game ball wins the specific winning opening 9, the normal symbol variable display game is started again. After the start of the special game in the variable display game, the probability of a hit in the normal symbol variable display game is higher than the probability (for example, 1/12) until a big hit occurs in the variable display game (for example, 4 minutes). 1). When a hit occurs in the normal symbol variable display game, the movable section 710 is controlled to be kept closed for a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds) and then closed. This is to make the starting winning prize port 4 win a game ball efficiently in a short time during the special game. It should be noted that the conversion control of the movable member 710 is not limited to the above-described embodiment as long as the game ball can be efficiently won in the starting winning opening 4.

Next, among the various controls performed based on the control system configured as described above, the starting winning opening 4,
The control related to the variable display game from when the game ball wins to No. 5 until the "big hit" occurs, and the control related to the variable display game from the game ball winning to the specific winning opening 9 until the "hit" occurs. Will be described in detail.

In the control system having the above-described structure, when the power is turned on and the gaming machine enters a normal operating state,
First, an initial symbol is displayed on the variable display section 21 of the variable display device 20, for example, "J" is displayed on the left symbol display section 22, and the middle symbol display section 2 is displayed.
3, "K" is displayed on the right symbol display section 24, and an arbitrary symbol is displayed on the ordinary symbol display section 100a. In this state, the player makes a left hit so that a game ball flows into the left area of the game area 2, and the starting winning opening 5
When the game ball wins, the winning is detected by the start winning detection switch SW 1, and the start detection signal of the winning is sent to the winning storage means 401. The winning storage means 401
Calculates the added value (total number) of the number of winning balls that have won the start winning port 5 based on the start detection signal, and stores the added value within a predetermined limit (for example, the maximum value is "4"). The added value thus stored is a game start signal sent from the operation timing control means 402 (the signal is generated every time the variable display game is performed once).
Is subtracted every time is input, a signal representing the subtracted value is sent to the operation timing control means 402, and the variable display game is repeatedly performed until the subtracted value becomes "0". On the basis of the subtraction value signal, the operation timing control means 402 first sends
At 03, a variable start signal is output.

The variable timing variable means 403 which has received the variable start signal sends to the variable display control means 406 a stop symbol before the start of the game and a variable signal for varying the next symbol in a variable cycle of 280 ms. The variable display control means 406 outputs a display control command signal to the left symbol display unit 22 based on the fluctuation signal.

As a result, the left symbol display section 22 of the variable display section 21 fluctuates in the first two symbols from the start of the fluctuation at a cycle of 280 ms. And the variation timing varying means 40
3 is when the symbol of the third frame from the start of change is displayed,
First, a fluctuation signal is outputted to the variable display control means 406 so that the fluctuation timing of the symbol is changed to a fluctuation cycle of 180 ms. The variable display control means 406 outputs a display control command signal to the left symbol display section 22 based on the fluctuation signal, and fluctuates the first and subsequent symbols in a 180 ms cycle based on the display control command signal. become.

The operation timing control means 402 sends a variable start signal to the variable timing variable means 404 when a predetermined time has elapsed since the left symbol display section 22 started to change. Then, similarly to the control on the left symbol display unit 22, the variable display control unit 407 which has received the variable start signal starts the variation of the 280 ms cycle only for the first two symbols of the middle symbol display unit 23. Thereafter, based on the fluctuation signal of the fluctuation timing varying means 404, the middle symbol display section 23 continues to fluctuate in a 180 ms cycle. When a predetermined time has elapsed since the middle symbol display section 23 started to change, the operation timing control section 402 changes the change timing variable section 405.
To send a variable start signal. Then, similarly to the control on the left symbol display unit 22, the variable display control unit 408 receiving the variable start signal causes the first two
Only the symbol is started to change in the 280 ms cycle. Thereafter, based on the fluctuation signal of the fluctuation timing variable means 405, the variable display control means 408 causes the right symbol display section 24
Will continue to fluctuate in a 180 ms cycle.
After a predetermined time has elapsed since the left symbol display section 22 started to change (about 4000 msec in this embodiment), the operation timing control section 402 outputs a variable stop signal to the variable timing variable section 403. I do.

The variable timing variable means 403 receiving the signal stops the left symbol display unit 22 which fluctuates in a 180 msec cycle so that the two symbols immediately preceding the symbol fluctuate in a 280 msec cycle. A fluctuation stop signal is output to the means 406.

When the variable display control means 406 outputs a display stop command signal to the left symbol display section 22 based on the fluctuation stop signal, the two symbols immediately before the stop symbol become 280.
After fluctuating in the m-second cycle, the left symbol means 22 stops the fluctuation and displays a stopped symbol. Next, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the left symbol stopped changing (after about 1100 ms in this embodiment), the operation timing control means 402 outputs a variable stop signal to the variable timing variable means 404. The variation timing varying means 404 outputs a variation stop signal to the variable display control means 407, similarly to the control on the left symbol display unit 22. as a result,
The variation cycle changes from 180 ms to 280 ms, and the middle symbol means 23 stops the variation and displays the stopped symbol.

At the time when the middle symbol display unit 23 stops changing, the variable display control unit 406 determines the judgment unit 409.
And a stop symbol signal is output from the variable display control means 407 to the determination means 409. At the same time, the operation timing control means 402 outputs a judgment request signal to the judgment means 409. Based on the determination request signal, the determination means 409 determines whether there is a possibility of a big hit, that is, whether the vehicle is in a reach state.

When the judging means 409 judges that it is not reach, the judgment signal is sent to the operation timing control means 402. The operation timing control means 40
2 sends a variable stop signal to the variable timing variable means 405. When the fluctuation stop timing varying means 405 receiving the signal outputs a fluctuation stop signal to the variable display control means 408, the variable display control means 408 outputs a display stop signal to the right symbol display section 24 based on the fluctuation stop signal. I do.
As a result, 180 m after a predetermined time (after 1120 msec has elapsed in this embodiment) after the symbol display section 23 has stopped in the middle.
The right symbol display part 24 that fluctuated in the second cycle is 280 m
Changed to a second cycle variation. Then, after the two symbols immediately before the stop symbol fluctuate in a cycle of 280 ms, the right symbol display section 24 stops and displays the stop symbol.

On the other hand, when the judgment means 409 is in the "reach state"
, A reach determination signal is sent to the operation timing control means 402. Then, the operation timing control unit 402 sends a variable stop signal of the reach to the variable timing variable unit 405. Upon receiving the signal, the variable timing variable means 405 firstly changes the variable display control means 40.
8, a fluctuation signal is output so as to change the fluctuation cycle from the 180 ms cycle to the 280 ms cycle. Next, a variation signal is output to the variable display control means 408 so as to vary in a cycle of 420 msec from the symbol three or four frames before the stop symbol. As a result, the right symbol display section 24 fluctuates at a cycle of 280 msec and thereafter fluctuates at a cycle of 420 msec until a predetermined time elapses (in the present embodiment, 3080 msec to 11760 msec) after the symbol stops. And stop at the stop symbol.

At this stage, the variable display control unit 408 sends a stop symbol signal of the right symbol display unit 24 to the judgment unit 409, and the variable display control unit 406 sends the left symbol display unit 2
2 is sent to the judging means 409, and the variable display control means 407 sends the stop symbol signal of the middle symbol display section 23 to the judging means 409. At the same time, the operation timing control means 402 outputs a big hit determination request signal to the determination means 409. Then, based on the big hit determination request signal, the determination means 409 determines whether each display unit 2 of the variable display unit 21
It is determined whether or not the stop symbols 2, 23 and 24 match each other, that is, whether or not a big hit has occurred.

If the result of the above determination is that there is a big hit, the judgment means 409 outputs the big hit signal to the variable winning device control means 4.
10, and also outputs a jackpot signal to the operation timing control means 402. As a result, the operation timing control means 402 sets the variable winning device control means 41
Various signals are sent to 0 to control a special game.

When a game ball that has flowed down without winning in the starting winning opening 5 by the time the special game is started under the variable display game wins in the specific winning opening 9, the winning is normally a symbol. The normal symbol variable display game is performed by the following control detected by the switch SW6. First, the detection signal from the ordinary symbol switch SW6 is sent to the specific winning storage means 413, and the specific winning storing means 41
Numeral 3 adds the number of winning balls that have won the specific winning opening 9 based on the detection signal, and stores the added value within a predetermined limit (for example, the maximum value “4”). The added value stored in this manner is used as the ordinary symbol display operation timing control means 41.
Each time a game start signal (generally generated every time the symbol variable display game is performed once) is input, the signal is decremented by one, and a signal representing the subtracted value (subtracted value) Signal) is the operation timing control means 418
And the normal symbol variable display game is repeatedly performed until the subtraction value becomes “0”. The specific prize storage means 413 outputs a prize storage signal to the random number change control means 416, and also outputs a prize storage signal to the storage and display section 100b, based on the prize storage signal. One LED lights up.

The variable display game detecting means 415 sends a specific signal to the random number change control means 416 based on the signal from the determining means 409 during the period from the normal game state of the variable display game until a big hit occurs. Output. Then, the random number change control means 416 converts a signal (prize storage signal) from the specific prize storage means 413 based on a specific signal from the variable display game detection means 415, for example, a variable display game signal (low level signal). Each time an input is made, a random number is picked up from the random number generation unit A in the random number means 414 and stored in the extracted random number storage unit 416c in association with a winning storage signal from the specific winning storage unit 413. The normal symbol display operation timing control unit 418, which has received the subtraction value signal from the specific winning storage unit 413, is connected to the normal symbol display control unit 41.
9 is sent a game start control signal. Then, the ordinary symbol display control means 419 sends a variable start signal to the ordinary symbol display unit 100a, and the display of the ordinary symbol display unit 100a starts to change based on the variable start signal. At a point in time when a predetermined time elapses after the symbol of the ordinary symbol display section 100a starts to change, the ordinary symbol display operation timing control section 418 transmits the extracted random number storage section 41 of the random number changing section 416.
The timing signal is output to 6c. Then, based on the timing signal, the extracted random number storage section 416c extracts the stored random number corresponding to the winning storage signal and sends the extracted random number to the symbol selection section 416d. And the symbol selection section 416
d determines a display symbol based on the random number.

The symbol selecting section 41 of the random number changing means 416
When 6d outputs a display symbol signal to the symbol comparison means 420, the symbol comparison means 420 changes the display symbol signal and the fluctuation symbol signal from the normal symbol display control means 419 controlling the fluctuation of the normal symbol display section 100a. , The stop symbol and the variable symbol are compared. Then, based on the result of the comparison, the symbol comparing means 420 determines the number of feed frames up to the display symbol, and outputs a feed frame number signal to the ordinary symbol display operation timing control means 418. The normal symbol display operation timing control means 418 outputs a control signal to the normal symbol display control means 419 in order to stop the changing symbol on the display symbol based on the number-of-sending-frames signal.

Then, based on the control signal, the ordinary symbol display control means 419 outputs a variable stop signal to the ordinary symbol display section 100a in order to stop the fluctuating symbol on the display symbol, and based on the variable stop signal. The normal symbol variable display section 100a stops at the display symbol. The ordinary symbol display control means 419 also sends the control signal to the ordinary symbol determination means 417.

Normal symbol determining means 4 based on the control signal
17 is the normal symbol display operation timing control means 418
When the determination request signal is input from the CPU, it is determined whether or not the stop symbol is a hit. If the result of this determination is that there is a hit, the ordinary symbol determining means 417 sends a winning signal to the ordinary electric accessory control means 422.

At this time, if the variable display game is not in the special game state, the variable display game detecting means 415 sends a game signal to the operating time control means 421. Based on this in-game signal, the operating time control means 421 controls the ordinary electric accessory control means 4 so that the movable portion 710 of the ordinary electric accessory 70 repeatedly opens and closes within a predetermined time.
An open / close repetition signal is sent to 22. Based on the open / close repeat signal,
The ordinary electric accessory control means 422 is connected to the solenoid SO.
Send solenoid signal to LB. As a result, the movable portion 710 of the ordinary electric accessory 70 repeatedly opens and closes within a predetermined time. When a game ball wins in the start winning opening 4 provided in the ordinary electric accessory 70 when the movable portion 710 is in the open state, the winning is detected by the start winning detection switch SW1 and the start detection signal of the winning is detected. It is sent to the winning storage means 401. On the other hand, the ordinary symbol determination means 417 sends a determination end signal to the ordinary symbol display operation timing control means 418. The ordinary electric accessory control means 422 sends the game end signal to the ordinary symbol display operation timing control means 41 when the movable part 710 is changed to the closed state after a predetermined time has elapsed.
Send to 8. The normal symbol display operation timing control means 41
8 controls the ordinary symbol display device 100 to start the next ordinary symbol variable display game based on the game end signal.

In the variable display game, when the operation timing control means 402 outputs a ramp signal to the variable winning device control means 410 at the stage when the special game is started, the variable winning device control means 410 causes the hit display lamp L5 to display a signal. Is sent to blink the hit lamp L5. Further, the operation timing control means 402 outputs an operation control signal to the variable winning device control means 410 when the interval before the first cycle of the special game has elapsed. As a result, based on the operation control signal, the variable winning device control means 41
0 outputs an attacker signal to the solenoid SOLA, and based on the signal, the door 51 rotates to open the special winning opening 53.

When the special winning opening 53 is thus opened and the special game of the first cycle is started, the player makes a right hit so that the game ball hits the buffer member 15. And the nail groups 17, 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d,
When the game ball flowing down along each of the nail groups 18e wins one of the winning ports 55 and 56 in the special winning port 53,
The winning is detected by the winning number detecting switches SW4 and SW5. Then, the winning number detection switches SW4, S
A winning detection signal is sent from W5 to the winning number counting means 411. When the game ball wins the continuous winning opening 54, the winning is detected by the continuous winning detection switch SW3. Then, a continuous winning detection signal is sent from the continuous winning detection switch SW3 to the continuous control means 412. The continuous winning detection switch SW3 also has a role as a winning number detecting switch, and the continuous winning detection signal is also sent to the winning number counting means 411. Then, the continuation control means 412 sends a display signal to the continuation display lamp L1 based on the continuation winning detection signal, and blinks the lamp. At the same time, the continuation control means 412 sends a continuation control signal to the variable prize device control means 410, and the variable prize device control means 410 controls the continuous special game based on the continuation control signal.

More specifically, the variable winning device control means 41
0 means that the winning number from the winning number counting means 411 is 10
In order to close the special winning opening 53 when a count signal indicating the number of pieces is input or when a predetermined time has elapsed, whichever is earlier, the solenoid S
A closing signal is output to the OLA. In this way, the special game of the first cycle is completed.

After an interval of a predetermined time until the special winning opening 53 is opened again on the premise that the continuous control signal is input to the variable winning device control means 410, the opening signal of the next cycle is changed to the solenoid SOLA. Is to be output.

As described above, in the special game, the above-described series of controls is repeatedly performed within a predetermined cycle (for example, 16 cycles) on condition that the game ball wins the continuous winning opening 54 in the variable winning device. . Then, at the time of the last cycle, a continuation end signal indicating that this is the last cycle is sent from the continuation control means 412 to the variable winning device control means 410. Based on the continuation end signal, the variable winning device control means 410 sends a solenoid signal to the solenoid SOLA, and based on the solenoid signal, the solenoid SOLA is turned off, the door 51 is closed, and the special game ends.

From the time when the big hit of the variable display game occurs to the end of the special game, the variable display game detecting means 41 based on the big hit signal from the judging means 409.
5 outputs a special game signal (high level signal) to the random number change control means 416. Each time a winning storage signal is input from the specific winning storage means 413, the extracted random number storage section 416c of the random number change control means 416 receives a random number from the random number generation section B of the random number means 414 based on the special game signal. Is stored in association with the winning storage signal. The probability of hit by the random number generator B is higher than the probability of hit by the random number generator A. Then, on the basis of the subtraction value signal from the specific winning storage means 413, the ordinary symbol display operation timing control means 418 controls the extracted random number storage section 416c of the random number change control means 416, the ordinary symbol display control means 419, and the ordinary symbol determination means 417. , And a normal symbol variable display game is performed based on the random number generated by the random number generator B.

On the other hand, during the period from the point of occurrence of the big hit of the variable display game to the end of the special game, the judgment means 40
The variable display game detecting means 415 outputs a special game state signal to the operation time changing means 421 based on the big hit signal from 9. Based on the special game state signal, when a hit signal from the ordinary symbol determining means 417 is input through the ordinary electric accessory control means 422, the operating time changing means 421 is activated by the movable portion of the ordinary electric accessory 70. 7
10 continuously performs the operation of the open state for a predetermined time,
An open state continuation signal is sent to the ordinary electric accessory control means 422. Based on this open state continuation signal, the ordinary electric accessory control means 422 sends a solenoid signal to the solenoid SOLB. As a result, the movable portion 710 of the ordinary electric accessory 70 is continuously opened for a predetermined time.

Next, the control of the various display lamps, various display lamp LEDs, the variable winning device, the variable display device (variable display means), the ordinary symbol display device 100, etc. of the pachinko gaming machine configured as described above is shown in FIG.

When a game is played in this state and a game ball wins in one of the start winning openings 5 and 6, the start winning detection switches SW1 and SW2 are turned on each time the game is won, and the ON signal is sent to the waveform shaping circuit 651. After being processed by
R which is input to the microcomputer 610 and is
The random numbers generated from the OM 620 are picked up and stored in the RAM 630 in order. In the case of this embodiment, the number of random numbers stored in the RAM 630 is up to five including those during execution of the variable display game. Then, a winning number storage display lamp L corresponding to the stored number of random numbers obtained by subtracting one from the stored random numbers during execution of the variable display game.
ED1 to ED4 are turned on. Then, based on the random number initially stored in the RAM 630, the left symbol display unit 22,
The variable display of each display unit of the middle symbol display unit 23 and the right symbol display unit 24 is changed. Each time the change of the variable display starts, one of the lit winning indicator lamps LED1 to LED4 is turned off. When the game ball wins the specific winning opening 9 in parallel with the variable display game, the normal symbol switch SW6 is turned on by the winning, and the ON signal is processed by the waveform shaping circuit 651 and then input to the microcomputer 610. Then, the control of the normal symbol variable display game is started. The random number generated from the ROM 620 when the microcomputer 610 is input is picked up and the random number is stored in the RAM 630 in order.

Specifically, a random number is picked up from the random number generator A until a big hit occurs in the variable display game. Will pick up random numbers from In the case of this embodiment, the random number stored in the RAM 630 is up to 5
Number. Then, the storage display units 100b are lit up for the number of stored random numbers obtained by subtracting one from the stored random numbers during execution of the normal symbol variable display game. And
Based on the random number initially stored in the RAM 630,
The variable display of the normal symbol display section 100a is changed. Each time the change of the variable display starts, one of the four LEDs of the storage display unit 100b that is turned on is turned off. And the microcomputer 61
Based on the game start command signal from 0, the symbols “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9,0 "fluctuates at a rate that cannot be traced by the eye, and a predetermined time elapses or a stop button (not shown) is pressed to stop at the display symbol.

The display symbol is a microcomputer 61
It is determined based on 0 whether or not it is a hit. When it is determined that a hit has occurred, the solenoid SOLB of the ordinary electric accessory 70 is controlled by a control command signal from the microcomputer 610.
Are excited, and the movable section 710 is converted to the open state. In this case, if a big hit has not occurred in the variable display game, the microcomputer 610 sends a repetition control command signal for repeatedly opening and closing the movable portion 710 to the solenoid SOLB of the ordinary electric accessory 70. If it has occurred, the microcomputer 610 sets the movable unit 71
A control command signal for maintaining the open state of 0 for a predetermined time is sent to the solenoid SOLB of the ordinary electric accessory 70. After a lapse of a predetermined time, the microcomputer 61
0 sends a control command signal for closing the movable portion 710 to the solenoid SOLB. As a result, the movable portion 710 is closed, and the normal symbol variable display game ends. When a game ball wins in the start winning opening 4 where the movable portion 710 is converted to the open state and the winning is facilitated, the winning is detected by the start winning detection switch SW1. Processing is performed in the same way as when

In the variable display game, a normal variable display game in which a big hit cannot be generated (a reach state does not occur) and a reach in which a large hit can be generated (a reach state occurs) cannot be performed in accordance with a random number in which the game is performed. Divided into variable display games. When it is a normal variable display game, the card display units 22a, 23a, 24a, the back card display units 22b, 23b, 24b, and the front card display unit 2
In the display order of 2c, 23c and 24c, the symbols “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, J, Q,
"K, A, P" are randomly changed and after a predetermined time has elapsed, or when a predetermined time has elapsed after a stop button (not shown) has been pressed, the left symbol, the middle symbol, and the right symbol are stopped in that order, and the stop symbol is stopped. Is determined.

During the variable display game, based on the display command from the microcomputer 610, the decoration lamp LED5, the decoration lamp LED7, the fluctuation display lamp L3, and the fluctuation display lamp L4 are blinked as the design changing display.

On the other hand, when the stop symbol of the left symbol display section 22 and the stop symbol of the middle symbol display section 23 are aligned and the possibility of a big hit occurs (when the reach state is reached), the right symbol display section 24 is displayed. The display changes at a slow speed. In this reach state, the microcomputer 6
On the basis of the command from 10, the decorative LED 6 and the hit lamp L10 start blinking as reach display in addition to the display lamps in the variable display game.

When the display of the left symbol display section 22, the middle symbol display section 23 and the right symbol display section 24 is stopped, the state of the stopped symbol is changed to the microcomputer 61.
It is determined based on 0 whether or not it is a hit. As a result, when it is determined that there is a loss, the microcomputer 61
Based on the display command from 0, each lamp is turned off as a loss display. When the state of the stop symbol accidentally becomes a big hit (for example, Q, Q, Q), that is, when the microcomputer 610 determines that it is a “big hit”, the microcomputer 610 responds to a display command from the microcomputer 610. On the basis of this, from the time of determining the occurrence of the big hit to the end of the big hit game (special game), the following stepwise big hit display is performed. That is, from the time of determining the occurrence of the big hit to the start of the game of the big hit (the big winning opening 53 is first opened), each lamp (L
1 to 7, LED1 to 4, LED5 to LED7) are converted to a blinking state. Further, based on a display command from the microcomputer 610, each of the display units 2 of the variable display unit 21 is controlled.
2, 23 and 24 first blink the symbol that caused the big hit. Then, the microcomputer 610
, The solenoid SOLA of the variable winning device is excited (turned on) based on the opening command signal, and the special winning opening 53 is opened.

At the time of opening the special winning opening 53 in the first to fifteenth cycles, the left symbol display section 22 displays the number of continuous cycles, the middle symbol display section 23 displays a bar symbol,
A state in which the number of game balls winning in the special winning opening 53 during each cycle is displayed on the right symbol display section 24, and a state in which the symbol (the character portion-only the hit character) that generated the big hit is displayed. It is converted alternately as appropriate.

When a game ball is placed in the continuous winning opening 54 at the time of opening the special winning opening 53 in the first to fifteenth cycles, the frame display portion in the temporarily stopped symbol and the hit character are temporarily stopped. It is alternately converted and displayed. Then, the number of continuation cycles is displayed at the position of the left symbol display section 22, and the middle symbol display section 2
A bar is displayed at position 3 at the position of the right symbol display section 24 to alternately display a state in which the number of game balls won in the special winning opening during each cycle is displayed, and a state in which the symbol generating the big hit is displayed. Is returned to the display converted to. In addition, as the display of the continuation condition satisfaction open state, each decorative lamp (L1-7, LED1
, 4, LED5 to LED7) are converted to a blinking state.
Then, until the special winning opening closes at the end of the cycle, the display lamp L6, the hit display lamp L10, the fluctuation display lamps L4, L3, and the operation display lamp L2 among the decorative lamps move and blink in this lighting order. Do. Also,
During the wait time of each cycle of the jackpot game (at this time, the special winning opening 51 is closed), the variable display unit 2
In each of the display units 22, 23, and 24, the display symbol that caused the big hit blinks, and the decorative lamps (L1 to L1) are displayed.
7, LED1 to 4, LED5 to LED7) are simultaneously turned on and off.

Grand prize opening 53 in the first to fifteenth cycles
At the time of opening, the predetermined time elapses before there is no winning in the continuous winning opening 54, or 10
If there is an individual prize, the big prize opening 53 is closed at that point and the big hit game is ended.

When the special winning opening 53 of the 16th (final) cycle is opened, the variable display section 21 displays the number of continuous cycles at the position of the left symbol display section 22 in the same manner as in the 1st to 15th cycles. A bar is displayed at the position of the middle symbol display section 23, and the number of game balls winning in the special winning opening 53 during each cycle is displayed at the position of the right symbol display section 24, and the big hit is generated. It is alternately converted to a state in which a symbol is displayed. And, among the decorative lamps, the display lamp L6, the hit display lamp L10, the variable display lamp L
3, L4 and the operation display lamp L2 move and blink in this lighting order.

Further, the crank cam S of the prize ball discharging device 810
When the detection signal from the W (MSW) is input to the microcomputer 610 via the waveform forming circuit 651, it is stored in the RAM 630, and based on the storage, the discharge switching signal is output from the microcomputer 610 to the driver 65.
2 to excite the limit solenoid SOLC of the prize ball discharge device 830, and thereby the prize ball discharge device 810
Is discharged, and discharge (15 discharges) is performed. Further, when an abnormality occurs in the pachinko gaming machine 1, only the decoration lamp L1 blinks, and all other lamps are turned off.

FIG. 27 shows a control processing procedure of the main processing performed by the computer system 600 of FIG.

This main processing is a phase 0 (step S1) in which the state of each switch (SW1 to SW6, MSW) of the pachinko gaming machine is input, chattering is removed, and input processing for preparing a format usable in another phase is performed.
00), determination whether or not to start by turning on the power and specific RAM
The area 630 is inspected to determine whether or not the RAM 630 is normal. If the RAM 630 is activated by power-on or if the area of the RAM 630 is abnormal, the RAM 630 is checked.
Phase 1 for performing area initialization processing (step S101)
To step S103), phase 2 (step S104, step S10) in which a dual system prize ball process is performed together with an output process to the liquid crystal display panel 340 and the like and an output process to each port.
5) If a fraud is detected and a fraud condition occurs, a fraud detection and fraud removal monitoring process of performing fraudulent operations until the disappearance disappears, an input receiving process of each switch, and a game execution step according to the game execution order. 3 (Step S106, Step S10)
7) a process of editing the output of lamps, solenoids, LEDs, etc., a process of editing and outputting a sound (steps S109 to S110), and a phase 5 of updating the random numbers (step S111). Are classified.

When the main processing is started, first, in step S100, each switch (SW1 to SW6, MS
After performing the input processing of the state of W), step S101 is performed.
Move to In step S101, it is determined whether the processing is to be started by turning on the power or the processing is to be continued.
It is determined whether or not M630 is normal. As a result, it is determined that the activation is due to power-on, or
If it is determined that M630 is not normal, step S
After the initialization process of the RAM 630 area is performed in 103, the process proceeds to step S111 to update the random number.

However, the operation is not started by turning on the power, and
If it is determined that the memory (RAM 630) is normal, output processing is performed in step S104, and the next step S104
After performing the dual system award ball processing in 105, step S10
Move to 6. In step S106, fraud is detected, and when a fraud condition occurs, fraud processing is performed.
In step S107, input acceptance processing of each switch is performed.
In step S108, a game process is performed, and in step S10
Move to 9. Step S109 to step S110
Then, after editing the output of the lamps and the like and editing and outputting the sound effects, the process proceeds to the next step S111 to update the random numbers, and the HALT state is set. Each time a reset signal from the frequency divider 644 is input to the reset terminal RST of the microcomputer 610, the process returns to step S100 to start the main processing.

FIG. 28 shows a control processing procedure of the input processing (phase 0) of the main processing of FIG. In this phase 0, two processes of setting a stack pointer, restoring the value of a refresh register, and reading SW are performed. Here, the SW reading process refers to a process of decomposing the state of each SW (SW1 to SW6, MSW), removing chattering, and preparing a format usable in each process. The SW information required in each process includes ON (rising edge) of SW and current state of SW (SW level state of ON or OFF). When the input processing of this phase 0 is started, first, in step S120
In steps S121 to S121, each process of setting the stack pointer of the RAM 630 and restoring the value of the refresh register is performed.
Thereafter, in steps S122 to S127, the physical state of whether the switch is turned on is read, the active logic is converted from negative logic input to positive logic, chattering is removed, the current logic state is calculated, and the current state is stored in the RAM 630. ) Store, extract the rising edge of the SW, store the active state of the SW in the active state memory (RAM 630), and then proceed to the next phase 1 initialization processing.

FIG. 29 shows a control processing procedure of the initialization processing (phase 1) of the main processing of FIG. In the initialization processing of the phase 1, the power monitor is inspected to determine whether the power is turned on or the processing is continued. If the result of the determination is that the power is turned on or if the inspection area of the RAM 630 is abnormal, the RAM 630 is reset. This is a process for initializing an area.

When the processing of the phase 1 is started, it is first determined in step S140 whether or not the power is turned on. If the power is not turned on, the process proceeds to step S141, and if the power is turned on. For example, the process proceeds to step S142. It is determined that power is not being turned on, and step S141 is performed.
When the process proceeds to step S141, the RAM 63
It is determined whether or not the 0 inspection area is normal. If it is normal, the process proceeds to the next phase 2 output process, and if not, the process proceeds to step S142. Thus, step S14
When the process proceeds to step S142, the RAM 6
Step S14 after clearing 152 bytes in 30 areas
The process proceeds to step S616 in FIG. 60 to set the initial display value (initial display symbol) digitally, set the inspection data in the inspection area of the RAM 630 in the next step S144, and perform the phase 5 random number update process in the next step S144. Move to

FIGS. 30 to 32 show control processing procedures such as the output processing (phase 2) of the main processing of FIG. In this output process (Phase 2), the process of outputting the output data edited and output in Phase 4 to each port, and when the big prize port 53 is won, 15 balls per game ball.
When two or more game balls are won, two processes of two-system prize ball processing for winning five game balls per one game ball are performed. When the process of this phase 2 is started, first, in step S150, the output data of the lamp and the LED is output, and the process proceeds to step S152.
In 2, the scan pointer of the LCD (liquid crystal display panel 340) is updated, and the process proceeds to step S154. Step S
At 154, it is determined whether or not the scan pointer has exceeded the upper limit. If it is determined that the scan pointer has exceeded the upper limit, step S1 is performed.
Go to step 56, clear the scan pointer and go to step S
The process proceeds to 158, but if it is determined that the value does not exceed the upper limit, the process directly proceeds to step S158. Step S158
In step S164, LC is sequentially read from the scan pointer.
The D output area is calculated, data is extracted from the corresponding address, the number of outputs is set, data such as an LCD is output to the MPU, and the process proceeds to step S166. In step S166, it is determined whether all data has been output to the MPU. If it is determined that all data has not been output, step S1 is performed.
The process returns to step S168, but if it is determined that all data is output, the process directly proceeds to step S168. In step S168, it is determined whether the scan counter is 9 or not. If the determination is Yes, the process proceeds to step S170 to output a latch signal, and then performs the two-system award ball processing shown in FIG. 31 in step S17.
The process proceeds to step S172, but if it is determined to be No, the process directly proceeds to step S172 to perform two-system prize ball processing.

In the two-system prize ball process shown in FIG. 31, the process of monitoring the winning of the winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5, hereinafter referred to as count SW) and storing the winning number up to 255 (steps S172 to S180); The process branches according to the two control numbers, and is divided into processes (steps S182 to S230) performed according to each state. When the two-system prize ball process starts, in step S172,
It is determined whether or not there is an input to the winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5). If it is determined that there is no winning, the process directly proceeds to step S180. If it is determined that there is a winning, the winning number detecting switch is determined in step S174. After the number of storages in (SW3 to SW5) is updated (+1 count up), the process proceeds to step S176.

In step S176, it is determined whether or not the stored number of the winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5) is less than "256".
If it is determined that it is less than 6 ", the process directly proceeds to step S180, and if it is determined that it is not less than" 256 ", the winning number detection switch (S
After keeping the storage number of W3 to 5) to less than "256", the process proceeds to step S180.

In step S180, it is determined whether or not all the winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5) have been inspected.
When it is determined that the inspection has not been performed, the process returns to step S172, and the processing of steps S172 to S178 is performed. When it is determined that the inspection has been performed, the process proceeds to step S182. Then, in steps S182 to S186, it is determined whether the two-system control number corresponds to “0”, “1”, “2”, or “3”. As a result, when it is determined to be “0”, the storage of the winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5) at the start of the winning ball with the control number “0” is checked and the solenoid SO
The flow shifts to step S188 in FIG. 32 to perform LC control, and when it is determined to be “1”, to eliminate chattering at the rising edge of the MSW (FIG. 19) of the crown cam 861 of control number “1” in FIG. The process moves to S200.

If it is determined to be "2", step S212 in FIG. 32 is executed to control the updating of the storage number of the winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5) of the control number "2".
And when it is determined to be "3", the control number "3"
Then, the flow shifts to the step S220 in FIG. 32 in order to control the MSW falling chattering. First, in the process of the control number “0”, the solenoid SOL is determined in step S188.
After setting the ON information of C, the process proceeds to step S190. In step S190, it is determined whether or not the MSW is at the “H” level (high level) (during the prize ball discharging operation). If the MSW is at the “H” level (high level) (the prize ball discharging operation). If it is middle, the process proceeds to step S192, but if it is not at the "H" level (high level) (if it is not during the prize ball discharging operation), the process directly proceeds to step S23.
Move to 0. In step S192, it is determined whether or not the winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5) are stored.
If it is determined that there is, step S196 is performed.
Proceeds to step S1 when it is determined that there is no
At 94, the OFF information of the solenoid SOLC is set.

Thus, when the flow shifts to step S196, the chattering elimination time (30
0 ms), and sets the dual-system control number to “1” in the next step S198, and then proceeds to step S230.

When the process proceeds to step S230, the control information is stored in the control area in the register of the RAM 630, and then the process proceeds to phase 3.

It is determined that the control number is "1", and step S2 is executed.
When the process proceeds to 00, the dual system control number is set to “0” in step S200, and then the process proceeds to step S202. In step S202, the MSW is at the “H” level (high level) (during the award ball discharging operation).
It is determined whether or not. As a result, when it is determined that the “H” level (high level) has not been reached (the prize ball discharging operation is not being performed), the process directly proceeds to step S230. However, if it is determined that the signal is at the “H” level (high level) (prize ball discharging operation is being performed), step S2 is performed.
In step 04, the two-system control number is set to "1". In step S206, the chattering elimination timer is updated, and the process proceeds to step S208. In step S208, it is determined whether or not the chattering elimination time has ended. If it is determined that the chattering elimination time has ended, the dual system control number is set to "2" in step S210, and the process proceeds to step S230. If it is determined, step S2 is performed.
Move to 30. When the process proceeds to step S230, the control information in the register of the RAM 630 is stored in the control area in step S230, and then the phase 3
Move to the processing of.

It is determined that the control number is "2" and step S2
At step S12, it is determined whether or not the solenoid SOLC is turned on (it is in a discharge state of 15 pieces). If it is determined that the solenoid is turned on, the winning number detection switch (step S214) is determined in step S214. SW3-5)
Is decremented by one (-1), and then step S
The process proceeds to step S216, but if it is determined that the switch is not turned on (it is in the state of five discharges), the process directly proceeds to step S216. Then, the chattering elimination time is set to 150 ms in step S216, the two-system control number is set to "3" in the next step S218, and the routine goes to step S230. When the process proceeds to step S230, the control information in the register of the RAM 630 is stored in the control area in step S230, and then the process proceeds to phase 3.

It is determined that the control number is "3", and step S2 is executed.
When the process proceeds to step S220, the MSW
It is determined whether or not (FIG. 19) is at the “H” level (high level) (during the award ball discharging operation). As a result, when it is determined that the level is at the “H” level (high level) (prize ball discharging operation is being performed), the process proceeds to step S216 to set a chattering removal time of 150 ms, and the processes of steps S218 and S230 are performed. Are performed in order, and then the process proceeds to the phase 3 processing. Is not at the "H" level (high level) (the award ball discharging operation is not being performed), steps S222 and S224 are performed.
, The process of setting the ON information of the solenoid SOLC and the process of updating the chattering elimination timer are sequentially performed, and then the process proceeds to step S226. In step S226, it is determined whether or not the chattering elimination time has ended. If it is determined that the chattering elimination time has not ended, step S230 is performed.
Then, when it is determined that the processing has been completed, the dual system control number is set to "0", and then the flow proceeds to step S230.
When the process proceeds to step S230, the control information in the register of the RAM 630 is stored in the control area in step S230, and the process proceeds to the phase 3 process.

FIGS. 33 to 36 show the processing performed in phase 3 of the main processing shown in FIG. 27. In steps S250 to S280, unauthorized monitoring and processing are performed, and in steps S282 to S292, unauthorized processing is performed. Input monitoring of the start winning detection switches SW1 and SW2 is performed. Input monitoring of the counter SW is performed in steps S294 to S318. Input monitoring of the continuous winning detection switch SW3 is performed in steps S320 to S338.
40 to S348 show control processing procedures of the game processing.
In the fraud monitoring process, when either of the counter SWs is continuously turned on / short for about 3 seconds or longer, and when the special winning opening of the special game is opened and during a certain time thereafter, both the counter SW and the continuous winning detection switch are turned off. If it is not turned on, it is regarded as illegal, and the process proceeds to illegal processing. When the processing of this phase 3 is started, first, in step S250, the counter S
It is determined whether or not there has been an input of W. If there is an input, the no-count illegal monitoring request is cleared in step S252, and the process proceeds to step S254. If there is no input, the process directly proceeds to step S254. And step S

The process proceeds to 266, where the fraud flag is set. If not fraudulent, the monitoring timer is updated in step S260, and the flow proceeds to step S264, where it is determined whether or not the corresponding time (about 3 seconds) has elapsed. If so, an invalid flag is set in step S266, and if not, step S266
Proceeding to 268, the fraud flag is reset.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S256 that the status of the corresponding switch SW for which fraud should be detected is at the "L" level (low level), the process proceeds to step S26.
The process proceeds to step 2 to monitor for no-count irregularities. That is, the monitoring timer is initialized in step S262, and in step S2

At 66, the fraud flag is set, and if it has not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S268, and the fraud flag is reset.
Thereafter, the flow shifts to step S270, where it is determined whether or not all illegal monitoring has been completed. If the monitoring has been completed, the flow proceeds to step S272. If not, the flow returns to step S256, and the loop of steps S256 to S270 is repeated to end. When the determination is made, the process proceeds to step S272 to store the fraud flag, and then the process proceeds to step S274. In step S274, it is determined whether there is any fraud. As a result, when it is determined that there is no fraud, the flow shifts to step S282 in FIG. However, when it is determined that there is fraud, the process proceeds to step S276 to perform fraudulent processing.

In steps S276 to S280, the invalid timer is updated.
After sequentially performing the process of blinking in the s cycle and the process of turning off the outputs other than the solenoids SOLC and L2, the flow shifts to S542 in FIG. 59 to perform sound output control.

At step S282 in FIG. 34,
The input monitoring process of the start winning detection switch is started, and it is determined whether the start winning detection switches SW1 and SW2 are turned on. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S284, and it is determined whether or not the stored number is equal to or more than the upper limit value (in this embodiment, a maximum of four). If not, the stored number is updated in steps S286 to S290. , RANDOM

However, if it is determined in step S282 that the start opening winning detection switch is not turned on, or if it is determined in step S284 that the stored number is equal to or more than the upper limit, the process proceeds to step S2.
Move to 92. In step S292, it is determined whether or not the all-start winning detection switch has been checked. If it is determined that the switch has not been checked, the process returns to step S282, and the processes in steps S282 to S292 are performed again.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the check has been made, it is determined in step S294 whether or not a big hit operation is being performed. If not, the process directly proceeds to step S340 in FIG. 36, and the variable display game is started. . However, if it is determined in step S294 that the big hit operation is being performed, the flow shifts to step S296. In step S296, it is determined whether or not there is an input to the count SW. If there is no input, the process directly proceeds to step S320 in FIG. 35 to monitor the input of the continuous winning detection switch SW3, but if there is an input, the process proceeds to step S298. I do. In step S298, a count sound output request is set. In step S300, it is determined whether or not there is an input to SW3 among the count SWs. If so, the process proceeds to step S302 to update the number of inputs of the count SW. And proceed to step S304,

The number of inputs of the count SW is updated, and the process proceeds to step S308. If not, the process proceeds to step S308. In step S308, it is determined whether or not there is an input to SW5 among the count SWs, and if so, the process proceeds to step S310.
The number of inputs of the count SW is updated and the process proceeds to step S312. If no input has been made, the process directly proceeds to step S312. In step S312, it is determined whether or not the input of the winning number detection switch SW including SW3, SW4 and SW5 is less than 10 counts. If the input is less than 10 counts, the process directly proceeds to step S320 shown in FIG.
If the count is not less than 0, the process proceeds to step S314 to 10
The count information is set, and the process proceeds to step S316. In step S316, it is determined whether or not the input is during the valid time of SW3 to SW5.
The flow advances to step 318 to clear the sequence timer. If the current time is during the valid time, the flow directly advances to step S320 shown in FIG.

In steps S320 to S338, the input of the continuous winning detection switch SW3 is monitored. First, in step S320, it is determined whether or not there is an input of the continuous winning detection switch SW3.
The process proceeds to 40, where a new variable display game is started. If there is an input, the process proceeds to step S322. In step S322, it is determined whether or not the number of times the special game is continued is 16th.
If it is the sixth time, the process directly proceeds to step S340, but if it is not the sixteenth time, the process proceeds to step S324, and it is determined whether or not a big hit operation before continuation based on winning in the continuous winning detection switch SW3.

If it is determined in step S324 that the big hit operation is being performed, steps S334 to S3 are performed.
At 38, the control type switching timer for switching the control type after the continuation of the big hit operation is set, the output request for the continuous winning detection switch switch-in sound is made, and the control type "11" (big hit operation for two seconds after the continuation) is set. The process proceeds to step S332 to update the step number indicating the execution stage of the game process of the variable display game.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S324 that the big hit operation is not being performed, it is determined in step S326 whether or not the valid time before continuation (1.9 seconds after closing the special winning opening) is determined. If it is determined to be step S3

The process proceeds to step S016 (end monitoring process of valid time after continuation) and step S017 (end monitoring process of jackpot end operation) to perform the game process, and then proceeds to step S400 of the process of phase 4 in FIG.

FIG. 37 shows an outline of a control processing procedure of the flow of steps S00 to S017 of the variable display game processing. As the flow of the game processing of the variable display game, first, normal operation processing (step S00) is performed until there is a winning in the start winning ports 4, 5, and 6.

In the normal operation processing in step S00, the presence or absence of storage is determined. If there is storage, information on the start of digital rotation of the variable display unit 21 is set. If there is no storage, start information on normal operation is set. . Such processing is continuously performed until the input to the start winning detection switches SW1 and SW2 is detected. When the input is received, the process proceeds to the next left symbol rotation start processing (step S01).

The left symbol rotation start process of step S01 is a process for starting the rotation of the left symbol, and is continuously performed until the rotation of the left symbol is started. Medium symbol rotation start processing (step S02)
Move to

The middle symbol rotation start process in step S02 is a process for starting the rotation of the middle symbol. The process is continued until the rotation of the middle symbol is started. Right symbol rotation start processing (step S03)
Move to

The right symbol rotation start process in step S03 is a process for starting the rotation of the right symbol. The process is continuously performed until the right symbol starts to be rotated. The process proceeds to the automatic stop time end monitoring process (step S04).

The monitoring of the end of the automatic stop time in step S04 is for setting a random time until the stop symbol is determined after the automatic stop time of each of the display units 22, 23, 24 of the variable display unit 21 ends. In this embodiment, for example, the automatic stop time of the left symbol display unit 22 is 400
After 0 ms, the random time is determined between 2 ms and 64 ms using the value of the R register when the automatic stop time has elapsed. Then, when the random time is over, the process proceeds to the stop start processing of the next left symbol (step S05).

The stop start processing of the left symbol in step S05 is for determining the combination of the stop symbols on the variable display section 21 and setting the stop information of the left symbol, and is continuously performed until the left symbol stops. Then, at the time of stopping, the process proceeds to the next middle symbol stop start process (step S06).

The middle symbol stop start process in step S06 is for setting the middle symbol stop information, and is continuously performed until the middle symbol stops. When the middle symbol stops, the next right symbol stop start process is performed. The process proceeds to (Step S07).

The right symbol stop start process in step S07 is for determining a reach eye and setting right symbol stop information. The process is continuously performed until the reach expression is started, and when the reach is determined and the reach expression is started, the end monitoring process at the next reach (step S0)
The process proceeds to 8), and is continued until the right symbol stops, except in the case of the reach, and when the right symbol stops, the process shifts to the stop result determination processing of step 09.

The end monitoring process at the time of the reach in step S08 is performed in the case of the reach, in which the stop time of the right symbol is set, and is continuously performed until the right symbol stops. Is stopped, the process proceeds to the next stop result determination process (step S09).

The stop result judging process in step S09 is a process of judging a big hit or a miss and performing a process according to the judgment result. If the stop result is out of the range, the process proceeds to the out-of-operation end monitoring process (step S010). Then, the end of the detaching operation (turn off of all lamps, etc.) is monitored,
If there is no storage at the end of the detaching operation, the process returns to the first normal operation process (step S00) and returns to step S
The processing below 00 is performed. If there is a storage at the end of the detaching operation, the process returns to the left symbol rotation start process (step S01), and the processes from step S01 are performed again. However, if the result of the determination in the stop result determination process in step S09 is a big hit, the process proceeds to a fanfare shift process for a big hit (step S011). The fanfare shifting process in step S011 is to set the fanfare operation after monitoring the end of the big hit display time (1 second) of the big hit variable display unit 21. The process is continuously performed until the fanfare transfer process is completed. When the fanfare transfer process is completed, the process proceeds to the next fanfare / interval operation end monitoring process (step S012).

The fanfare / interval operation end monitoring process in step S012 monitors the end of the big hit fanfare operation and sets the big hit operation after the end of the fanfare operation. The processing is continuously performed until the fanfare processing is performed. After the fanfare processing, the termination monitoring processing of the jackpot operation before the continuation is performed (step S
013).

The process of monitoring the end of the big hit operation before the continuation of step S013 is to monitor the open condition end condition of the door 51 of the variable winning device 50 before winning the continuous winning opening 54. Here, the open condition end condition is a big hit operation time (29 seconds)
Has elapsed or the count number of the count SW has reached 10. If the game ball wins the continuous winning opening before the end condition is satisfied, the process shifts to the big hit operation end monitoring process after the continuation of step S014. Then, in step S014, the two conditions are monitored.

When the big hit time ends in step S013 or when 10 counts are completed, step S01 is executed.
The process proceeds to step S016, and also in step S014, the jackpot time ends, or the process proceeds to step S016 when the count reaches ten.

Steps 015 and S016 both monitor the continuation condition of the jackpot operation. First, before the continuation condition is determined, switch SW3 to SW5 during the effective time of SW3 to SW5 (29 seconds plus 1.9 seconds). After checking the presence or absence of the input, the continuation condition is determined. If it is determined in step S015 and step S016 that the continuation condition is satisfied, the effective time of SW3 to SW5 (29 seconds + 1.9)
When (seconds) is completed, the process returns to step 012, and the processing of step 012 and subsequent steps is repeated. Step S
If it is determined in 015 that the continuation condition is not satisfied,
When the valid time (29 seconds plus 1.9 seconds) of SW3 to SW5 has expired, the process proceeds to step S017.

Step S017 is for monitoring the operation after the end of the valid time, and is continuously performed until the big hit operation ends. And when the big hit operation ends,
If there is no storage, the first normal operation processing (step S0
Returning to step (0), the processing from step S00 is performed again. Then, at the time when the big hit operation is completed, if there is storage, the process returns to the left symbol rotation start process (step S01),
The processing from step S01 is performed again.

The processing of setting 5 seconds, storing the output request for channel 2 sound, storing the output request for channel 3 sound, storing the control type number, storing the step number, and storing the sequence time is performed. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1002 that there is no storage, the sequence timer is cleared in steps S1018 to S1024, sound stop information is set, and the control type is “0”.
Is set, and a process of setting “0” to the step number is performed, and the flow shifts to the step S1026.

For example, each of the winning ports 54, 55, and 56 functions as a continuous winning port until the special winning game 53 starts, the special winning port 53 is opened, and the game ball wins for the first time in the special winning port 53. After the winning, the above winning ports may be made to function as general winning ports. With this configuration, the special game can be surely continued. In addition, one cycle of the special game is divided into three stages of a first half, a middle stage, and a second half. In the first half, the winning opening 54 functions as a continuous winning opening, and in the middle stage, the winning opening 55 functions as a continuous winning opening.
In the latter half, the winning opening 56 may function as a continuous winning opening. In the case of right-handing, the winning opening 55 may function as a continuous winning opening, and in the case of left-handing, the winning opening 56 may function as a continuous winning opening. Further, the size of the continuous winning opening may be changed over time. That is, special game 1
The width of the continuous winning opening may be narrowed in the first half of the cycle, and the width of the continuous winning opening may be expanded in the second half. still,

The state is converted to the closed state as indicated by the dotted line 7, and the special game is started. Then, when the winning of ten game balls into the special winning opening 530 is detected by the 10 count SW, the solenoids SOL1, SOL2 are turned off, and the pair of movable parts 510, 510 are opened. Is done. Then, after a predetermined time, the solenoid SOL1 that operates the cover 510A is turned off, and the cover 510A is controlled so as to protrude to the front of the component base frame 500A. The variable winning device 5 having such a configuration.
00 has the following three features.

First, when the movable portion 510 is in the closed state, the outer edge of the movable portion 510 and the nail groups 190, 190 form a flow path for a game ball to a specific winning opening 900A, and a special game is performed. The opportunity of winning a prize ball expands.

Next, when the movable part 510 is in the closed state, there are cases where ten or more game balls are pooled in the movable part 510. Is more likely to win the winning opening 900A.

Further, since the covering portion 510A comes out at a shifted timing, the variable winning device 50
The game ball flowing down toward 0 is the specific winning port 9
00A is more likely to win.

(Modified Example of Ordinary Electric Combination) In the present embodiment, the ordinary winning combination 4 is provided on the ordinary electric combination 70. However, a general winning opening may be provided in place of this starting combination. Good. In the ordinary electric accessory 70, a pair of ball guiding pieces 711 and 711 are rotated to make it easy to win a game ball.

A member method may be used.

(Modification of Specific Winning Port) In this embodiment, the specific winning opening 9 is configured as a so-called winning chucker in which a prize ball can be obtained by winning the winning opening.
Instead of the prize-winning chucker, a so-called passing chucker type that passes above and below the winning opening and falls into an out hole may be used.

(Variation Conditions of Ordinary Symbol Variable Display Device) In the above embodiment, the ordinary symbol display section 100a starts to vary on condition that the specific winning opening 9 is won. In place of the above, a pass-type chucker having an upper and lower opening is used, and on the condition that a game ball has passed through the pass-type chucker (specific gate), the normal symbol display section 100a
May start to fluctuate. The starting winning opening may also serve as the specific winning opening, or the specific gate may be provided above the starting winning opening. In this way, the player can simultaneously play the variable display game and the normal symbol variable display game. Further, the ordinary symbol display section 100a may be changed on condition that a winning is made to the continuous winning opening 54, the winning opening 54, 56 of the special winning opening 53 or the special winning opening 53. In this way, the ordinary symbol display portion 100a fluctuates only during the special game, so that not only a prize ball due to a prize at the big winning opening but also a prize ball due to a prize at the ordinary electric accessory 70 can be expected.

Also, for example, a game ball launching device is provided in the game ball launching device to detect the number of launched balls, and when the number of launched balls reaches a certain number, the normal symbol display section 1 is provided.
00a may be varied. In this way, any player can enjoy the normal symbol variable display game equally. In addition, when it is detected that the difference number obtained by subtracting the number of hit balls from the number of hit balls reaches a certain number, the normal symbol display unit 100
a may start to fluctuate. Further, an out-ball detecting means for detecting the number of out-balls may be provided in the gathering gutter of the out-balls, and the ordinary symbol display section 100a may be changed when the out-ball detector detects a certain number.

(Modification of Ordinary Symbol Variable Display Device, etc.) The ordinary symbol display section may be a segment type fluorescent display tube, a dot character type fluorescent display tube, a graphics type fluorescent display tube, or a light emitting diode. Good and
Electroluminescence may be used. Further, a mechanical system such as a drum system may be used. The normal symbol display device 100 may be provided alongside the normal electric accessory 70, may be provided along with the variable winning device, or may be separately provided on the game board. In the embodiment, the specific winning opening 9 is provided on the left side of the variable winning device 50. However, the specific winning opening 9A may be provided on the left side of the variable display device 20 as shown in FIG.

With such a configuration, when the special game is started, the right-hitting game ball wins the specific winning opening 9A. Then, when the normal symbol variable display game based on the winning is started, the game based on the random number generator B generates a high probability of hitting,
If a hit occurs, the ordinary electric accessory 70 is converted into a state in which a game ball can easily be won, and more prize balls can be expected. In the above-described embodiment, the ordinary electric accessory 70 is provided diagonally above the left side of the variable winning device 50. However, the ordinary electric accessory 70A having a winning opening, which is illustrated as a starting winning device (electric winning device), is shown in FIG. Variable display device 2 as shown by

In the second embodiment, the random number generating unit A of the random number means 414 having a low probability of hitting from the normal game of the variable display game to the occurrence of the big hit is used. Although the unit B is used, the winning probability may be always constant regardless of the flow of the variable display game.

As shown in FIG. 73, special games (special games )
When the game state) ends, the variable winning device control means 4
10 outputs a signal to the variable display game detecting means 415, and after a special game is completed, a predetermined time or a normal symbol
Auxiliary variable display up to a certain number of operations of the variable display section 100a
The hit probability of the ordinary symbol variable display section 100a as a device may be increased. Alternatively, a single-time concentrated type may be used in which the hit probability is controlled to be high for a predetermined time after a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of the game, and the hit probability is lowered after the predetermined time has elapsed. Further, in the variable display game, a game content in which a specific combination of stop symbols (for example, 1, 1, 1) is set as a medium hit as an example of a special game state and a special winning opening is opened for a predetermined time is added. At the stage when the game has occurred, the middle hit signal is sent from the determination means 409 to the variable display game detection means 415.
May be controlled so as to increase the winning probability of the normal symbol variable display game (see FIG. 73). Also, at the stage when five game balls have won the special winning opening in the special game, the five winning signals are output from the winning counting means 412 to the variable display game detecting means 415, and the auxiliary variable display game is executed.
May be controlled so as to increase the winning probability of the normal symbol variable display game (see FIG. 73).

When the special game is over, control is performed to increase the winning probability of the normal symbol variable display game.
The time at which the increased winning probability is reduced may be other than the above, and may be any game state in the variable display game.

The game state generated by the combination of the specific stop symbols (for example, 1, 1, 1) may be other than the middle hit, and any game state that gives the player many chances of acquiring prize balls. But it is good.

In the special game, when a game ball wins the continuous winning opening, a continuation signal is output from the continuation control means 412 to the variable display game detection means 415 so as to increase the winning probability of the normal symbol variable display game. (See FIG. 73). Further, each time a solenoid signal from the variable winning device control means 410 is output to the variable display game detecting means 415, control may be performed so as to increase the winning probability of the normal symbol variable display game (FIG. 73).

(Others) In the above-described embodiment, the number of winnings in the specific winning opening 9 can be stored. For example, up to four winning numbers can be stored. However, the number of storing need not be limited. However, it is not necessary to use storage means.

In the above embodiment, the random number change control means 41
Although the random number 6 is changed according to the game state of the variable display game, the random number for the variable display game may be changed according to the game state of the normal symbol variable display game.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the operation time changing means 421 as the conversion control means controls the movable portion 710 of the ordinary electric accessory 70 in accordance with the playing state of the variable display game. The conversion operation of the variable winning device may be controlled in accordance with the game state of the game. When the winning probability of the normal symbol variable display game is changed to a high probability (for example, 1/4), the operation of the normal electric accessory 70 is controlled so that the starting winning opening 4 can be efficiently and easily won. However, as long as it is an operation control for efficiently winning the start winning opening 4, the operation time and the opening / closing control of the movable member 710 other than the above embodiment may be used.
