Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine and a recording medium on which a computer program for operating the pachinko machine is recorded. When a game ball passes through a predetermined area provided on a game board, The present invention relates to a pachinko machine and a recording medium in which a movable member provided in a variable winning device changes into a state in which a game ball can be easily won.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a so-called type 2 pachinko machine is known as this type of pachinko machine. This second kind of pachinko machine has a starting port on the game board, and when the game ball passes through the starting port, the movable member of the variable winning device provided on the game board opens and is formed by the opening operation. It has a function of making it easier for a game ball to win from the opened opening. In addition, when the game ball won through the opening formed by opening the movable member passes through the special area provided inside the variable winning device, it becomes easier to win the game than when the game ball passes through the starting opening. It becomes a game state in which the movable member operates. The above-mentioned starting openings are provided in the lateral direction at the bottom of the game board. When the game ball passes through either of the left and right starting openings, the movable member opens and closes once and the central starting opening is played. When the ball passes, the movable member is opened and closed twice. Further, the opening time of the movable member is set to be longer when the game ball passes through the central starting port than when it passes through either the left or right starting port.

[0003]

In this case, a big hit occurs when the symbols that are variably displayed stop at a predetermined design. Some of the so-called type 1 pachinko machines are big hits when a big hit occurs. When the symbol is a predetermined symbol, the next game after the big hit ends is a game due to a shorter time (the time from the start of the fluctuation of the symbol to the stop is shorter than usual), or a certain change (the probability of a big hit occurring There are things that can give a certain profit to the player, such as a game that changes with a higher probability than usual). But,
In the so-called type 2 pachinko machine, as described above, when the game when the game ball passes through the special area is finished, it only returns to the normal game, and the fun after the big hit like the type 1 pachinko machine is finished. Since there is no, there is another problem that it lacks in fun. In addition, as mentioned above, the number of opening times and opening time of the movable member is uniquely determined depending on which starting opening the game ball passes, and the movement of the movable member is patterned and poor in change, so the game is monotonous. There is also the problem that it will turn into. In particular, since the opening time of the movable member is set longer in the central starting port than in the left and right starting ports, the gauge is arranged so that winning is more difficult than in the left and right starting ports. Moreover, since the right starting port is farther from the firing position than the left starting port, it is difficult to aim.
For this reason, the player shoots the game ball only at the left-side start opening that is easy to aim and relatively easy to win, and the game becomes monotonous, resulting in a lack of interest. In addition, originally, many pachinko machines have a large device near the center of the game board, and the gauges are almost symmetrical.
By providing a windmill, a prize hole, etc., it is designed so that the player can enjoy the game over a wide range of the game board, but under the above-mentioned circumstances, the right half of the game board is not utilized.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to realize a pachinko machine which can increase the fun of the game and eventually eliminate the monotonousness of the game.

7b1 is dropped onto the slope 41a of the base 41 from the portion where the cutout portion 37b3 is formed, because the protrusion 37b2 prevents the left hoe 37a from moving. Subsequently, the game ball P that has fallen onto the slope 41a selects one of the flow-down paths D, E, and F and flows down. When the downflow route D is selected, the left general region 46a is passed, and when the downflow route F is selected, the right general region 46b is passed. When the downflow route E is selected, the special area 45 is passed and the special area detection switch 45a is turned on.

(2) When the hoe 37 is raised When the rising portion 39a2 of the left rotating body 39a is located on the left side and the rising portion 39b2 of the right rotating body 39b is located on the right side. As shown in FIG. 6 (A), the game ball P that has flowed down in the flow-down path B falls on the bottom portion 37a1 of the left mulberry 37a, but the left mulberry 37a is rising and the bottom portion 37a1 is inclined rearward. Therefore, the game ball P rolls down behind the bottom portion 37a1. Also, the game ball P flowing down in the flow-down path C falls on the bottom portion 37b1 of the right mulberry 37b,
Since the right hoe 37b is rising and the bottom portion 37b1 is inclined rearward, the game ball P rolls down behind the bottom portion 37b1. Subsequently, the game ball P that has rolled down behind the mulberry 37 passes over the rotating body 39 and falls in front of the rotating body 39, but as the descending path, there are three descending paths G, H, and I. Exists. When flowing down the downflow route G, the probability of passing through the left general region 46a is high, and the probability of passing through the special region 45 is low. When flowing down the downflow route I, the probability of passing through the right general region 46b is high, and the probability of passing through the special region 45 is low. Further, when flowing down the downflow route H, the probability of passing through the general area 46 is low, and the special area 45
The probability of passing through is high.

The rising portion 39a2 of the left rotating body 39a is located on the right side, and the rising portion 39a of the right rotating body 39b.
When b2 is located on the left side. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7A, since the passage of the downflow route H (FIG. 6A) is almost blocked, the game ball P selects one of the downflow routes G and I. Then run down. Therefore, in this case, the game ball P has a high probability of passing the general area 46 and a low probability of passing the special area 45.

A case where both the rising portion 39a2 of the left rotating body 39a and the rising portion 39b2 of the right rotating body 39b are located on the rear side. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7 (B), the game ball P that has flowed down in the flow-down path B or the flow-down path C (FIG. 6 (A)) is
The rising portions 39a2 and 39b2 increase the probability that the falling will be blocked. In addition, the rising portions 39a2 and 39b
The game ball P that has contacted 2 has rising portions 39a2, 39b.
Since 2 are each formed in an arc shape, the probability of rolling along the rising portions 39a2 and 39b2 and staying in the center between the left rotating body 39a and the right rotating body 39b as indicated by the broken line in FIG. 7B. Is high. When the left rotating body 39a rotates counterclockwise and the right rotating body 39b rotates clockwise, the rising portion 39a2 moves to the left side and the rising portion 39b2 moves to the right side, so that the accumulated game ball P is It passes through the downflow path H (FIG. 6 (A)). At this time, the probability of passing through the special area 45 is high, and the probability of passing through the general area 46 is low.

A case where the rising portion 39a2 of the left rotating body 39a and the rising portion 39b2 of the right rotating body 39b are both located on the front side. In this case, although not shown, the game ball P that has flowed down in the downflow path B or downflow path C (FIG. 6A) is received by the rising portion 39a2 or the rising portion 39b2. When received by the rising portion 39a2, the left rotating body 39a rotates counterclockwise, so that the game ball P falls from the left side of the left rotating body 39a. When it is received by the rising portion 39b2, the right rotating body 39
Since b rotates clockwise, the game ball P is the right rotating body 39.
Fall from the right side of b. Therefore, the game ball P has a high probability of passing the general area 46 and a low probability of passing the special area 45.

(3) When the mulberry 37 is descending As shown in FIG. 6 (B), the game ball P that has flowed down in the downstream path B falls on the bottom 37a1 of the left mulberry 37a, but on the left. Since the mulberry 37a is descending and the upper surface of the bottom portion 37a1 is inclined forward, the gaming ball P follows the downflow path J and is highly likely to roll down from the left side of the bottom portion 37a1. Therefore, the game ball P has a high probability of passing the left general area 46a and a low probability of passing the special area 45.
In addition, the game ball P flowing down in the flow-down path C is the right mulberry 37.
Although it falls on the bottom part 37b1 of b, the right mulberry 37b is descending and the upper surface of the bottom part 37b1 is inclined forward, so that the game ball P follows the downflow path L and rolls down from the right side of the bottom part 37b1. The probability is high. Therefore, the game ball P has a high probability of passing the right general area 46b and a low probability of passing the special area 45. In addition, when the game ball P falls behind the mulberry 37, it may follow the downflow route K. In this case, the game ball P has a high probability of passing the special area 45 and passes the general area 46. Probability of doing is low.

(Opening / Closing Pattern Determination Table) The ROM 114 of the microprocessor 110 stores an opening / closing pattern determination table for determining the opening / closing patterns of the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32. FIG. 9 (A)
FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the configuration of the opening / closing pattern determination table used in the normal game, and FIG. 9B is an explanatory diagram showing another configuration example of the opening / closing pattern determination table used in the game after the jackpot. As shown in FIG. 9 (A), the opening / closing pattern determination table used in the normal game is composed of a right starting opening table 114a and a left starting opening table 114b, and each corresponds to a random number in a predetermined range and an opening / closing pattern. It is configured with. In the right starting port table 114a and the left starting port table 114b, the pattern A is for random numbers 0 to 10, the pattern B is for random numbers 11 to 20, and the random number is 2.
The C pattern is associated with 1 to 75, and the D pattern is associated with random numbers 76 to 100. That is, when the game ball passes through the right starting opening 81 in the normal game, the main CPU 112 displays 0 to 100 in total 101.
One random number is selected from the random numbers (lottery), the right starting port table 114a is referred to, and the opening / closing pattern corresponding to the selected random number is selected. In addition, the main CPU 112
Is 0 to 10 when the game ball passes through the left starting opening 82.
Select one random number from a total of 101 random numbers (0) (lottery)
Then, with reference to the left starting port table 114b, the opening / closing pattern corresponding to the selected random number is selected.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9 (B), the opening / closing pattern determination table used in the game after the big hit ends,
It is composed of a right starting port table 114c and a left starting port table 114d, and each is configured by associating a random number in a predetermined range with an opening / closing pattern. The right starting port table 114c has an A pattern for random numbers 0 to 30, a B pattern for random numbers 31 to 40, a C pattern for random numbers 41 to 75, and a D pattern for random numbers 76 to 100. Are associated with each other. The left starting opening table 114d has an A pattern for random numbers 0 to 10, a B pattern for random numbers 11 to 20, a C pattern for random numbers 21 to 75, and a D pattern for random numbers 76 to 100. Are associated with each other. In other words, the main CPU 112 selects one random number from a total of 101 random numbers 0 to 100 (lottery) when the game ball passes through the right starting port 81 in the game after the jackpot is over, and the right starting port table 114c. The open / close pattern corresponding to the selected random number is selected with reference to. Also, the main CP
U112, when the game ball passes through the left starting opening 82,
One random number is selected (lottery) from a total of 101 random numbers 0 to 100, and the opening / closing pattern corresponding to the selected random number is selected with reference to the left starting port table 114d. 9A and 9B, when comparing the right starting opening tables, the right starting opening table 11 used in the normal game
In 4a, opening / closing pattern A or B is selected when random numbers 0 to 20 are selected, and opening / closing pattern A or B is selected when random numbers 0 to 40 are selected in the right starting mouth table 114c used in the game after the jackpot is over. It can be seen that B is selected. That is, when the game ball passes through the right starting opening 81, the probability that the opening / closing pattern A or B is selected is twice as high in the case of the game after the big hit, as compared with the case of the normal game.

(Opening / Closing Pattern) Next, the opening / closing patterns A to D of the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to 0. FIG. 10A shows the opening / closing pattern A.
10 (B) is a timing chart showing the opening / closing pattern B, and FIG.
10C is a timing chart showing the opening / closing pattern C, and FIG. 10D is a timing chart showing the opening / closing pattern D. In each figure, T0 determines the opening pattern from the timing when it is detected that the game ball has passed through the right starting opening 81 or the left starting opening 82, and the type of the opening pattern is displayed on the display devices 81a and 82a. It is a time until it reaches the end, for example, 0.2 seconds.

As shown in FIG. 10 (A), the opening / closing pattern A is opened for T2 hours after the passage of T0 and T1 hours, closed for T3 hours after the opening, opened for T4 hours after the closing, and opened for T5 hours after the opening. It is a pattern of closing. That is, T3
Open two times with time. In this embodiment, T1 =
0.5 seconds, T2 = 0.9 seconds, T3 = 0.3 seconds, T4 =
0.9 seconds, T5 = 0.5 seconds, T6 = 3.3 seconds, and the open times T2 and T4 are the same time. As shown in FIG. 10B, the opening / closing pattern B is a pattern of opening for T2 hours after T0 and T1 time elapses, closing for T3 hours after opening, opening for T4 hours after opening, and closing for T5 hours after opening. Is. In other words, T3 time is inserted and it opens twice. In this embodiment, T1 = 0.5 seconds, T2 =
0.5 seconds, T3 = 0.3 seconds, T4 = 0.5 seconds, T5 =
0.5 seconds, T6 = 2.5 seconds, and the opening time T2
And T4 are the same time, but 0.4 seconds (= 0.9-0.5) shorter than the opening / closing pattern A.

As shown in FIG. 10C, the opening / closing pattern C is a pattern in which after T0 and T1 time elapses, T2 time is opened, and after that, T3 time is closed. That is, T2 is opened only once. In this embodiment, T1 = 0.4
Seconds, T2 = 0.9 seconds, T3 = 0.4 seconds, T6 = 1.9 seconds. As shown in FIG. 10D, the opening / closing pattern D is a pattern in which after T0 and T1 time elapses, T2 time is opened and then T3 time is closed. That is, T2 is opened only once. In this embodiment, T1 = 0.4
Seconds, T2 = 0.5 seconds, T3 = 0.4 seconds, T6 = 1.5 seconds, and the opening time T2 is 0.4 seconds (= 0.9-0.5) than the opening pattern C. short. From the above, it can be seen that the winning probability decreases in order from the opening / closing patterns A to D. Further, as described above, regarding the table for the right starting port, the table 114c for the right starting port used in the game after the end of the big hit (FIG. 9 (B)) is the table 114a for the right starting port used in the normal game (FIG. 9 (A)), the probability that the opening / closing pattern A or B is selected is twice as high, so the player can play the game in a gaming state in which the winning probability is higher than in the normal game in the game after the jackpot. it can.

[Main Processing Executed by Main CPU 112] Next, the main processing executed by the main CPU 112 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The computer program for the main CPU 112 to execute the following processing is stored in the ROM 11
It is recorded in 4. The main CPU 112 is the main power source 7
0 (FIG. 8) detects that the power is turned on (step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 10: Yes), RAM
Initialization such as clearing of 116 is performed (S12). Subsequently, the main CPU 112 executes the processing and control described below. (1) A start opening process that detects that the game ball has passed through the right start opening 81 or the left start opening 82 and stores the number of pieces that have passed (S20). (2) Opening / closing member control for controlling opening / closing operations of the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 in the normal game (S40). (3) Big hit control for controlling opening / closing operations of the opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 when a big hit occurs (S100). (4) A symbol determination process (S200) for determining whether or not to play a game after the jackpot is over.
(5) After the big hit, after the big hit control which controls the opening / closing operation of the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 in the game (S300). (6) Electric accessory control for controlling the operations of the hoe 37 and the rotating body 39 (S400). (7) Winning control for outputting a prize ball payout command to the sub CPU 212 of the payout control board 200 based on signals from the various winning opening switches (S500).

(10) Ball rental control for controlling the ball rental unit 63 (S800).

(Starting Port Processing) Next, the main CPU 112
The flow of the starting port process executed in S20 of FIG. 12 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The main CPU 112 controls the big hit (S10
It is determined whether or not the big hit flag is set in S104 (FIG. 16) of 0), that is, whether or not the big hit has occurred (S22), but it is assumed that the big hit has not yet occurred at this stage (S22: No). ). When the game ball shot by the player passes through the right starting opening 81 (FIG. 2), the right starting opening switch 81b (FIG. 8) is turned on, and the switching signal is input to the input port of the main CPU 112 mounted on the main board 100. It is taken in and the main CPU 112 detects that the game ball has passed through the right starting opening 81 (S24: Ye.
s).

Subsequently, the main CPU 112 operates the RAM 11
When it is determined that the number R of memory for passing the right starting opening stored in 6 is less than 4 (S26: Yes), "1" is added to the number R of memory for passing the right starting opening (S28). At this time, the main CPU 112 outputs a display signal for displaying the right starting port passage memory number R to the display device 81a (FIGS. 2 and 8), and the display device 81a displays the right starting port passage memory number R. To do. Then, the main CPU 112 sets the left start opening switch 8
When the switching signal from 2b is taken in and it is detected that the game ball has passed through the left starting opening 82 (S30: Ye
s), it is determined whether or not the left starting opening passing memory number L stored in the RAM 116 is less than 4 (S32), and when the left starting opening passing memory number L is less than 4 (S32: Ye
s), "1" is added to the left starting opening passing memory number L (S3
4). At this time, the main CPU 112 causes the display device 82 to
A display signal for displaying the left starting port passing memory number L is output to a (FIGS. 2 and 8), and the display device 82a displays the left starting port passing memory number L. In addition, the main CPU 112
When the big hit has occurred (S22: Yes), the right starting opening passing memory number R and the left starting opening passing memory number L are each reset to 0 (S36). In other words, in the case of a big hit, since the number of passages of the game ball to the right starting opening 81 and the left starting opening 82 is newly counted, when a big hit occurs, the right starting opening passing stored number R stored up to that point.
Also, the left starting opening passing memory number L is reset to zero. Or later,
The main CPU 112 repeatedly executes S22 to S36, detects that the game ball has passed through the right starting opening 81 or the left starting opening 82, and adds the right starting opening passing memory number R or the left starting opening passing memory number L. I do.

(Control of Opening / Closing Member) Next, the main CPU 11
The flow of the opening / closing member control executed by S.2 in S40 of FIG. 12 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. The main CPU 112 is R
Referring to AM116, it is determined whether or not the right starting opening passing memory number R is "1" or more, that is, whether or not there is a detection result indicating that the gaming ball has passed the right starting opening 81 (Fig. 14 (S42), if the detection result remains (S42).
42: Yes), one random number is selected from a total of 101 random numbers from 0 to 100 (S44). Then main CPU 11
2 indicates that if the selected random number is any of 0 to 10 (S46: Yes), the command A for operating the right opening / closing member 31 in the opening / closing pattern A (FIG. 10A) is right. It outputs to the solenoid 31b for opening / closing members (FIG. 4, FIG. 8) (S48). In addition, the display device 81 of the right starting opening 81
“A” is displayed in a.

As a result, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f
Is turned on for T2 time after (T0 time + T1 hour) has elapsed, and the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 are in a state of moving laterally for T2 hours (a state of protruding laterally from the housing 30a). As a result, the special winning opening 31
a, 32a open respectively, and these special winning openings 31a,
It becomes easy to win the prize from 32a. Subsequently, the solenoid 30f for the opening / closing member is turned off for T3 time after the lapse of T2 time.
Then, the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 respectively return to their original positions at T3 time, and the special winning openings 31a and 32a are closed. Subsequently, after the lapse of T3 time, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f is turned on for T4 time, and the right opening / closing member 31
The left opening / closing member 32 moves in the lateral direction for T2 time, and the special winning openings 31a and 32a are opened again. Then, after the elapse of T4 time, the opening / closing member solenoid 3
0f is turned off for T3 time, the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 are returned to their original positions for T3 time, and the special winning openings 31a and 32a are closed.

If the random number selected in S44 is not 0 to 10 (S46:
No), it is determined whether the random number is any of 11 to 20 (S50), and if it is any of 11 to 20 (S50: Yes), the right opening / closing member 31 and the left side. A command B for operating the opening / closing member 32 in the opening / closing pattern B (FIG. 10B) is the opening / closing member solenoid 30.
It is output to f (FIGS. 4 and 8) (S52). In addition, "B" is displayed on the display device 81a of the right starting opening 81. As a result, the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 open / close in accordance with the opening / closing pattern B, respectively. In the case of this opening / closing pattern B, the opening is performed twice like the opening / closing pattern A, but since the opening time is shorter than that of the opening / closing pattern A, the special winning opening 31a, 3
The winning probability for 2a is slightly lower.

Further, the main CPU 112 determines that the random number selected in S44 is not 0 to 10 (S46: N
o) If it is neither 11 to 20 (S50: No), it is determined whether the random number is one of 21 to 75 (S54), and one of 21 to 75. (S54: Yes), the command C for operating each of the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 in the opening / closing pattern C (FIG. 10C) is opened / closed member solenoid 30f.
(S56). Note that "C" is displayed on the display device 81a of the right starting opening 81. As a result, the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 respectively open and close according to the opening and closing pattern C. In the case of this opening / closing pattern C, the opening / closing patterns A and B are the right opening / closing member 31.
Unlike opening twice, open only once.

Furthermore, the main CPU 112 determines that the random number selected in S44 is not 0-10 (S46: N).
o) Not 11 to 20 (S50: No), 21 to 7
When it is not 5 (S54: No), the random number is 76 to
It is determined whether or not it is one of 100 (S5
8) and any of 76 to 100 (S5
8: Yes), the command D for operating the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 according to the opening / closing pattern D (FIG. 10 (D)) is used as the opening / closing member solenoid 30f.
(S60). In addition, "D" is displayed on the display device 81a of the right starting opening 81. As a result, the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 respectively open and close according to the opening and closing pattern D. In the case of this opening / closing pattern D, the opening is performed once like the opening / closing pattern C, but since the opening time is shorter than that of the opening / closing pattern C, the special winning opening 31a, 32 is larger than that of the opening / closing pattern C.
The winning probability for a is slightly lower.

Then, the main CPU 112 that executes S42 to S60 refers to the RAM 116 and determines whether or not the left starting opening passing memory number L is "1" or more, that is, the game ball has passed through the left starting opening 82. It is determined whether or not the detection result indicating the fact remains (S62 in FIG. 15), and if the detection result remains (S62: Yes), one random number is selected from a total of 101 random numbers from 0 to 100. Select (S64).
Subsequently, the main CPU 112 determines that the selected random number is 0
If any of 10 (S66: Yes),
A command A for operating the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 according to the opening / closing pattern A (FIG. 10A) is used as the opening / closing member solenoid 30f (FIGS. 4 and 8).
(S68). In addition, "A" is displayed on the display device 82a of the left starting opening 82.

As a result, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f
Is turned on for T2 hours after the lapse of T0 and T1 hours, and the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 are in a state of moving laterally for T2 hours. As a result, the special winning opening 31a,
32a open respectively, and these special winning openings 31a, 32
It becomes easy to win the prize from a. Subsequently, after the lapse of T2, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f is turned off for T3 time, the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 are returned to their original positions for T3 time, and the special winning openings 31a and 32a are closed. Subsequently, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f is turned on for T4 hours after the lapse of T3 time, and the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 are moved laterally for T2 hours, respectively.

[Effects of the Embodiment] As described above, if the pachinko machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment is used, it does not return to the normal game after the big hit as in the conventional case, but rather the normal game. A game can be executed after the jackpot with a high probability is completed. Therefore, the player can have more fun after the big hit game is over, and can eliminate the monotonous game.

If the pachinko machine 1 according to the above embodiment is used, a game ball is provided on the game board 5 at the right start opening 8
1 or the right opening / closing member 3 each time the vehicle passes through the left starting port 82.
The opening / closing patterns of the 1 and left opening / closing members 32 are selected by lottery, and the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 are opened / closed according to the selected opening / closing pattern. That is, unlike the conventional art, the opening / closing operation is not uniquely determined for each starting opening, so that the player can play the game ball at the right starting opening 81 or the left starting opening 8.
Since the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 each time the vehicle passes 2, it is possible to play with a sense of expectation and what kind of opening / closing operation will be performed this time.
The monotony of the game can be further eliminated. Also,
The player opens the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 when passing through either the right starting opening 81 or the left starting opening 82.
Since it is not possible to specify whether the number of times of opening is large or whether the opening time is long, a situation in which the game ball is shot aiming only at a specific starting opening does not occur. Therefore, a wide range of the game board 5 can be utilized.

Further, since the display device 84 of the opening / closing member 31 and the display device 85 of the opening / closing member 32 display the letters A to D respectively indicating the determined opening patterns,
The player can know which opening pattern will be executed. As a result, when a character showing an open pattern that is advantageous to the player is displayed, the player has a sense of expectation for obtaining a large profit, so that the game can be played even more interestingly. Moreover, since the display devices 84 and 85 are located in front of the player and operate, they are very conspicuous, so that the player can easily know the determined opening pattern. Further, the display device 81a of the right starting opening 81
The right starting opening passing memory number R is displayed on the display, and the left starting opening passing memory number L is displayed on the display device 82a of the left starting opening 82. Therefore, the passing storage number of each starting opening is associated with each starting opening. Can be easily known.

[Other Embodiments] (1) In the above embodiment, in the game after the big hit,
The case where the game is ended after the jackpot is over when the total number M of passages of the game ball at the right starting port 81 and the left starting port 82 is “3” has been described, but a predetermined timing in the game after the jackpot is ended (for example, After a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the game after the jackpot, or when the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 are opened a predetermined number of times in the game after the jackpot, a plurality of symbols are variably displayed by the determination symbol display device 83. The game can be finished after the big hit when the symbol is stopped at a predetermined symbol.

(2) Also, in the game after the big hit,
When the game ball passes through the right starting opening 81 or the left starting opening 82, a predetermined opening pattern is selected, and the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 operate according to the opening pattern, the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member The game may be finished after the jackpot is over when the members 32 have all finished the predetermined opening pattern. (3) Further, in the game after the big hit end, the game after the big hit end can be finished when the number of passages indicating the number of times the game ball has passed the general area 46 reaches a predetermined number.

(4) Also, the special area 45 and the general area 46
It is also possible to configure the game to end after the big hit when the number of passages of the game balls at the winning openings other than the above and the starting opening reaches a predetermined number. Furthermore, special area 45, general area 4
6, at least one or more detection results of the passage of the game ball in the area where the passage of the game ball can be detected, such as a winning opening and a starting opening, are combined, and if the combination satisfies a predetermined condition, the game after the big hit is over. It can also be configured to terminate. (5) In the above-described embodiment, when it is detected that a big hit has occurred (S204: Yes in FIG. 17), the determination symbol display device 83 immediately displays the symbols in a variable manner and whether or not to execute the game after the big hit ends. Although the case of deciding is explained, for example, the opening / closing members 31, 3 during the big hit game.
It is also possible to make the above determination at the timing when 2 is opened. Alternatively, the above determination can be performed after a predetermined time has elapsed after the opening / closing members 31 and 32 are opened and before the closing operation is performed. Further, the above determination can be made after the jackpot game is over. Furthermore, after the big hit,
After making the above decision, the big hit game can be performed.

(6) The opening / closing pattern set in the right starting port table used in the game after the end of the big hit and the opening / closing pattern set in the left starting port table may be different from each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 9C for explaining another configuration of the opening pattern determination table used in the game after the big hit, the right starting port table 114e is configured with the opening patterns A and B, and the left starting port table is shown. 114f is composed of open patterns A, B, E, and F. The opening / closing pattern E is opened twice as shown in FIG. 11E for explaining the timing chart, but the opening time T2 is longer than the opening time T4. For example, the opening time T2 is 0.9 seconds and the opening time T4 is 0.5 seconds. The opening / closing pattern F is opened twice as shown in FIG. 11 (F) for explaining the timing chart, and the opening time T2 is the opening time T.
It is shorter than 4. For example, the opening time T2 is 0.5 seconds and the opening time T4 is 0.9 seconds. According to this configuration, since the types of opening patterns are further abundant, it is possible to more effectively eliminate the monotonous game.

(7) In the above embodiment, the case where the right starting port 81 and the left starting port 82 are used has been described, but in addition to both starting ports, the general area 46 is also associated with the random number and the open pattern. It is also possible to set an opening pattern determination table and configure the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 to open / close according to the opening pattern by lottery when the game ball passes through the general area 46. In the case of this configuration, a detection switch is provided in the general areas 46a and 46b or the flow path thereof, and the detection switch detects that the game ball has passed the general areas 46a and 46b.

(8) In the above-described embodiment, the control in which the open pattern is selected every time the game ball passes through the right starting opening 81 or the left starting opening 82 is explained, but the right starting opening passing memory number R or the left starting is described. The opening pattern can also be determined by lottery when the mouth passing memory number L reaches a predetermined number. (9) Further, when the right starting opening passing memory number R or the left starting opening passing memory number L respectively reaches a predetermined number, the opening pattern can be determined by lottery. (10) Further, the ratio R / L or L / R of the number R of memory for passing the right starting opening and the number L of memory for passing the left starting opening is calculated, and when the value becomes a predetermined value, the open pattern is selected by lottery. You can also decide with. (11) It is also possible to set an effective time period in which passage of the right starting port 81 or the left starting port 82 can be detected, and to determine the opening pattern by lottery when either starting port is passed within the effective time period. .
