Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、遊技機に関し、特に、第2種と呼ばれる遊技機の遊技性を変化に富んだものとするための技術に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の第2種と呼ばれる遊技機は、遊技盤下部左右と中央との3箇所に始動口(第2種始動口)を備え、遊技盤中央に大入賞口を有する変動入賞装置(第2種特別電動役物)を備えている。また、変動入賞装置内部には複数の入賞領域が設けられ、入賞した遊技球がその何れかに導かれる。そして、遊技球が始動口に入賞すると賞球として遊技球が例えば5個払い出されるとともに、大入賞口が1回または2回開閉し、入賞した遊技球が変動入賞装置内の特定の入賞領域を通過すると大当たり遊技が発生する。
【0003】
大当たりとなると1ラウンドについて18回の大入賞口開閉が行われる。ただし、18回の開閉の間に遊技球が大入賞口に10個入賞すると、そのラウンドは終了する。そして、その間に再び特定の入賞領域を通過すると次ぎのラウンドに進み、最高15ラウンドまで開閉作動する。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このように、第2種遊技機は大当たりとなると、所定回数(18回)の大入賞口開閉あるいは所定個数(10個)の大入賞口入賞を1ラウンドとして最高16ラウンドまで大当たり状態が継続するが、大当たりに絡む遊技が1パターンで変化に乏しい。
【0005】
したがって、第2種遊技機において大当たりに絡む遊技パターンに変化を与え遊技性を高めることが課題である。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、遊技盤に、遊技球の入賞が大入賞口の開閉の契機となる始動口と、前記大入賞口を備えるとともに一般の領域と特定の領域を内部で区分した変動入賞装置とを備え、前記特定の領域を遊技球が通過すると、前記大入賞口を複数回開閉する大当たり遊技発生するようにした遊技機(第2種遊技機)において、前記変動入賞装置の、入賞した遊技球が前記一般の領域もしくは前記特定の領域に導かれる途中に、動作パターンが変化する内部構造物を設けて、該内部構造物の動作パターンの変化により、遊技球が前記特定の領域を通過する確率を変化させ、前記大当たり遊技とは動作パターンの異なる小当たり遊技を発生可能とし、前記始動口への遊技球の入賞を契機とした前記大入賞口の開閉により大入賞口に遊技球が入賞した後の所定条件の成立を契機として前記小当たり遊技を発生させ、該小当たり遊技の動作パターンを実行するものである。それにより、大当たり遊技状態とは別に小当たり遊技状態が発生可能で、遊技パターンが変化に富んだものとなり、遊技性が高まる。
【0007】
前記所定条件の成立は、例えば、前記始動口への遊技球の入賞を契機とした前記大入賞口の開閉により大入賞口に入賞した遊技球が前記特定領域を通過しなかったことであるのがよい。
【0008】
このように、通常遊技状態で前記大入賞口に入賞した遊技球が特定領域を通過しない場合に発生可能とすることにより、大入賞口に入賞した遊技球が特定領域を通過した場合に大当たり遊技状態が発生するのに加えて、特定領域を通過しない場合に、図柄判定によりランク付けするなどした小当たり遊技状態の発生が可能となり、それにより、遊技パターンが変化に富んだものとなり、遊技性が高まる。
【0009】
また、前記所定条件の成立は、大当たり技中所定個数の遊技球が前記始動口に入賞したことであってよい。そして、前記小当たり遊技前記大当たり遊技終了後ボーナスラウンドとして付与するのがよい。
【0010】
このように、大当たり遊技状態中に始動領域を遊技球が通過することにより小当たり遊技状態を発生可能とすることによって、大当たり遊技中における遊技球の始動領域通過が無駄にならず、図柄判定によりランク付けするなどした小当たり遊技状態の発生が可能となり、それにより、遊技パターンが変化に富んだものとなり、遊技性が高まる。
【0011】
この遊技機は、特に、前記所定条件が成立すると、複数の小当たり遊技の中からいずれか一つを、実行する小当たり遊技と判定し、判定した小当たり遊技に対応する図柄を表示するとともに該小当たり遊技の動作パターンを実行するものとするのがよい。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
【0013】
図1は本発明の実施の形態の一例における遊技機の盤面配置を示している。この遊技機は、所謂第2種遊技機であり、図1に示すように、遊技盤10の略中央部に、大入賞口21を備えるとともに後述のように内部に左右2箇所の一般領域26と中央の特定領域25を備えた第2種特別電動役物20(変動入賞装置)が設けられ、該第2種特別電動役物20の下方に、左右および中央の3個の第2種始動口(左第2種始動口11A、右第2種始動口11Bおよび中第2種始動口12)が設けられている。
【0014】
第2種特別電動役物20には、図2(拡大正面図)および図3(内部構造図)に示すように、上部に左右一対の開閉可動翼片21A、21Bにより入口が開閉される大入賞口21が設けられ、該大入賞口21の下方には内部構造物として、左右一対からなる角度変更可能な下部排出口上流路変更部材22が設けられ、表面に永久磁石28が配置され中央1箇所に永久磁石27が配置されるとともに中央寄り左右2箇所に電磁石29が配設された誘導回転体23が設けられ、所定遊技状態において誘導回転体23により誘導された遊技球を該回転体上部に停留させる回転体上停留部ストッパ24が設けられ、また、大入賞口21から入賞した遊技球を該装置下部へ誘導する左右の球通路61A、61Bが設けられ、それら左右の球通路61A、61Bを通過する入賞球をカウントする大入賞口左スイッチ51Aおよび大入賞口右スイッチ51Bが設けられている。第2種特別電動役物20の上部には上部排出口が、下部には下部排出口が(いずれも図示せず)、それぞれ設けられている。
【0015】
また、第2種特別電動役物20の上部には、後述のように小当たりランクを図柄表示する図柄表示装置31が設けられ、下端部分には、後述のように大当たり中にラウンド表示を行うラウンド表示装置32が設けられている。
【0016】
第2種特別電動役物20の内部には、左右2箇所の一般領域26と中央の特定領域25が設けられている。そして、大入賞口21に入賞した遊技球を直ちに検出する入賞感知機構(大入賞口スイッチ)が設けられ、特定領域を通過した遊技球を直ちに検出する通過感知機構(特定領域スイッチ)が設けられている。
【0017】
図3に示すように、誘導回転体23の表面中央寄り左右2箇所に配置された電磁石29は、誘導回転体23の内部を貫通する中心軸30の表面に左右軸端から別々に導電素材49を配設し、中央で分離した左右の導電素材49が誘導回転体23の表面に露出する左右の電磁石29の部分とそれぞれ接触する形で設けられている。そして、中心軸30の左右の軸端部外周に対向してそれぞれ電磁石スイッチ47が配置され、それら電磁石スイッチ47を作動させるソレノイド48が左右別々に設置されている。左右の電磁石29は、各ソレノイド48による電磁石スイッチ47の上下作動によってON・OFFが切り換わる。詳細には、ソレノイド48がOFF状態の時には電磁石スイッチ47は導電素材49から離れ、電磁石29はOFFとなる。また、ソレノイド48がON状態の時には電磁石スイッチ47が導電素材49と当接し、その当接した側の電磁石29がONとなる。
【0018】
第2種特別電動役物20の背部には、回転体モータ41が設置されている。回転体モータ41は回転ギヤ42、43、44を介して誘導回転体23の中心軸30を駆動し、誘導回転体23を回転させる。
【0019】
また、第2種特別電動役物20の背部には、ストッパソレノイド45が設置されている。回転体上停留部ストッパ24は、このストッパソレノイド45によりON・OFF作動する。
【0020】
また、第2種特別電動役物20の背部には左右に流路変更モータ46が設置されている。これら左右の流路変更モータ46により、左右一対の下部排出口上流路変更部材22の当接角度が変更される。
【0021】
第2種特別電動役物20は、大入賞口21による入賞口としての機能と、内部構造による特定領域25への誘導の機能と、特定領域通過率(大入賞口に入賞した遊技球が特定領域を通過する確率)を変化させる機能を有する。
【0022】
そのうち、入賞口としての機能は、該大入賞口21に遊技球が入ることにより入賞が発生し、入賞球1球毎に所定数(例えば10個)の賞球が払い出されるとともに、左第2種始動口11Aまたは右第2種始動口11Bへの遊技球の入賞により第2種特別電動役物20が作動した場合に、大入賞口21の入口が1回開放され、中第2種始動口12への入賞により第2種特別電動役物20が作動した場合に、大入賞口21の入口が2回開放され、そして、大当たり遊技状態および小当たり遊技状態が発生すると第2種特別電動役物20が作動し、大当たり遊技状態発生の場合は1ラウンド当たり大入賞口21が18回開放され(ただし、大入賞口21に10個の遊技球が入賞した場合は、開放途中であっても直ちに開放動作が終了する。)、小当たり遊技状態発生の場合は1ラウンド当たり大入賞口21が5回開放されるという機能である。
【0023】
また、特定領域25へ誘導する機能は、大入賞口21に入賞した遊技球を、下部排出口上流路変更部材22、誘導回転体23および回転体上停留部ストッパ24により、特定領域25に誘導し、特定領域から外れたものは一般領域を経て前記上部排出口から排出するという機能である。
【0024】
そして、特定領域の通過率を変化させる機能は、後述のように通常遊技状態と大当たり遊技状態とで第2種特別電動役物20の内部構造の動作パターンを変更するとともに、小当たり遊技状態において、小当たりランクに応じて内部構造物の動作パターンを変更し、また、小当たり遊技状態の進行に伴って動作パターンを変化させるものである。
【0025】
第2種始動口(左第2種始動口11A、右第2始動口11Bおよび中第2種始動口12)の機能は、遊技球が入ることにより入賞が発生し、入賞球1球毎に所定数(例えば5個)の賞球が払い出されるとともに、大入賞口開放の契機となることで、遊技球が左第2種始動口11Aまたは右第2種始動口11Bへ入賞すると、第2種特別電動役物20が作動して左右一対の開閉可動翼片21A、21Bが開閉し大入賞口21の入口が1回開放され、遊技球が中第2種始動口12へ入賞すると、第2種特別電動役物20が作動して左右一対の開閉可動翼片21A、21Bが開閉し大入賞口21の入口が2回開放される。第2種始動口内部には、入賞した遊技球を直ちに検出する入賞感知機構(図示せず)が設けられる。
【0026】
また、第2種始動口(左第2種始動口11A、右第2始動口11Bおよび中第2種始動口12)の大入賞口開放の契機としての機能は、第2種始動口への入賞により第2種特別電動役物20が作動した場合に、その第2種特別電動役物20の作動開始時から作動終了時まで無効とされる。
【0027】
この遊技機の基本動作は次の通りである。
【0028】
(1)遊技球が左第2種始動口11Aまたは右第2種始動口11Bに入賞すると、大入賞口21の入口の開放動作を1回(開放時間0.5秒)行い、中第2種始動口12に入賞すると、大入賞口21の入口の開放動作を2回(1回の開放時間約0.8秒)行う。
【0029】
(2)第2種始動口(左第2種始動口11A、右第2種始動口11B、中第2種始動口12)への遊技球の入賞による大入賞口21の入口の開放動作中に入賞した遊技球が特定領域25を通過すると、大当たり遊技状態の発生ということで、役物連続作動装置が作動する。
【0030】
(3)役物連続作動装置の1回の作動により第2種特別電動役物20が連続して作動する回数は、初回を含め最高16回である。
【0031】
(4)役物連続作動装置作動中の第2種特別電動役物20の1回の作動で大入賞口21の入口の開放動作を18回行う。但し、遊技球が大入賞口21に10個入賞した場合は第2種特別電動役物20の作動を終了する。また、遊技球が新たに特定領域25を通過したときは新たに第2種特別電動役物20が作動する。
【0032】
(5)第2種始動口(左第2種始動口11A、右第2種始動口11B、中第2種始動口12)への遊技球の入賞による大入賞口21の入口の開放動作中に入賞した遊技球が一般領域26を通過すると、遊技球のカウントスイッチ(大入賞口左スイッチ51A、大入賞口右スイッチ51B)通過あるいは遊技球の第2種始動口(11A、11B、12)通過を契機として抽選により小当たり遊技のランク判定を行い、判定した小当たりランクを図柄表示装置31に図柄表示し、所定時間経過しても特定領域25を通過しない場合に役物連続作動装置が作動する。
【0033】
(6)小当たり遊技状態において、1ラウンド5回の大入賞口21の開放中および開放後の所定ディレー時間の間に遊技球が特定領域25を通過することを条件に、役物連続作動装置の作動が継続し、次ラウンドに移行して第2種特別電動役物20が作動する。
【0034】
第2種特別電動役物20の内部構造物の動作パターンを次に説明する。
【0035】
まず、通常遊技状態における動作パターン(パターンa)は次の通りである。
【0036】
(1)大入賞口21が開放動作を開始すると同時に回転体上停留部ストッパ24がOFFとなり、下部排出口上流路変更部材22は水平に当接する状態となり、遊技球が下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留される。このとき、電磁石29は左右ともOFFである。
【0037】
(2)回転体上停留部ストッパ24はOFF(遊技球を保留しない状態)で、下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留された遊技球は、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27に吸着して誘導回転体23の回転により特定領域25もしくは一般領域26に誘導され、上部排出口から遊技盤裏側に排出される。このとき、電磁石29は左右ともOFFである。
【0038】
また、大当たり遊技状態における第2種特別電動役物20の内部構造物の動作パターン(パターンb)は次の通りである。
【0039】
(1)大入賞口21が開放動作を開始すると同時に回転体上停留部ストッパ24がONとなり、下部排出口上流路変更部材22は左右それぞれ5度下に傾いて逆さ山なり当接する状態となり、遊技球が下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留される。このとき、電磁石29は左右ともOFFである。
【0040】
(2)回転体上停留部ストッパ24はON(遊技球を保留する状態)で、下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留された遊技球は、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27に吸着されて誘導回転体23の回転により回転体上停留部ストッパ 24へ運ばれて停留され(5個まで停留可能)、停留できなかった遊技球は下部排出口上流路変更部材22へ落下する。この動作を繰り返す。このとき、電磁石29は左右ともOFFである。
【0041】
(3)大入賞口21の開閉動作が終了し所定時間が経過すると、回転体上停留部ストッパ24がOFF(遊技球を保留しない状態)となり、回転体上停留部に停留していた遊技球が特定領域25もしくは一般領域26に誘導され、上部排出口から遊技盤裏側に排出される。
【0042】
また、小当たり遊技状態における高確率時の動作パターン(パターンI)は入賞球を特定領域25に導く可能性が非常に高いパターンで、次の通りである。
【0043】
(1)大入賞口21の1回または2回の開放動作を契機として下部排出口上流路変更部材22が左右それぞれ5度下に傾いて逆さ山なりに当接する状態となり、遊技球が下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留される。このとき、電磁石29は左右ともOFFである。
【0044】
(2)回転体上停留部ストッパ24はON(遊技球を保留する状態)で、下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留された遊技球は、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27に吸着されて誘導回転体23の回転により回転体上停留部ストッパ 24へ運ばれて停留され(5個まで停留可能)、停留できなかった遊技球は下部排出口上流路変更部材22へ落下する。この動作を繰り返す。このとき、電磁石29は左右ともOFFである。
【0045】
(3)カウントスイッチ(大入賞口左スイッチ51A、大入賞口右スイッチ51B)により遊技球が10個カウントされると、回転体上停留部ストッパ24がOFFとなり、回転体上停留部に停留していた遊技球が特定領域25もしくは一般領域26に誘導され、上部排出口から遊技盤裏側に排出される。
【0046】
また、小当たり遊技状態における中確率時の動作パターン(パターンII)は次の通りである。
【0047】
(1)大入賞口21の1回または2回の開放動作を契機として下部排出口上流路変更部材22が水平に当接する状態となり、遊技球が下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留される。
【0048】
(2)誘導回転体23に設けられている中央寄り2箇所の電磁石29は左右とも通電状態(ON)、回転体上停留部ストッパ24はOFF(遊技球を保留しない状態)で、下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留された遊技球は、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27と電磁石29に吸着されて誘導回転体23の回転により回転体上停留部へ運ばれて、特定領域25もしくは一般領域26に誘導され、上部排出口から遊技盤裏側に排出される。
【0049】
また、小当たり遊技状態における低確率時の動作パターン(パターンIII)は次の通りである。
【0050】
(1)大入賞口21の1回または2回の開放動作を契機として下部排出口上流路変更部材22が左右それぞれ5度上に傾いて山なりに当接する状態となり、遊技球が下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留される。このとき、電磁石29は左右ともONである。
【0051】
(2)回転体上停留部ストッパ24はOFF(遊技球を保留しない状態)で、下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留された遊技球は、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27と電磁石29に吸着して誘導回転体23の回転により特定領域25もしくは一般領域26に誘導され、上部排出口から遊技盤裏側に排出される。。
【0052】
また、小当たり遊技状態における極低確率時の動作パターン(パターンIV)は次の通りである。
【0053】
(1)大入賞口21の1回または2回の開放動作を契機として下部排出口上流路変更部材22が左右それぞれ水平位置から45度下に傾いて下方に開き、遊技球が下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留され難い状態となる。そして、下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留されなかった遊技球は下部排出口から遊技盤裏側に排出される。
【0054】
(2)回転体上停留部ストッパ24はOFF(遊技球を保留しない状態)で、下部排出口上流路変更部材22に停留された遊技球は、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27に吸着して誘導回転体23の回転により特定領域25もしくは一般領域26に誘導され、上部排出口から遊技盤裏側に排出される。このとき、電磁石29は左右ともOFFである。
【0055】
この遊技機は、通常遊技状態で遊技球が第2種始動口(左第2種始動口11A、右第2種始動口11B、中第2種始動口12)を通過することにより大入賞口21が開放され、開放された大入賞口21に入賞した遊技球が第2種特別電動役物20内部の特定領域25を通過したことを契機として大当たり遊技状態が発生する。また、通常遊技状態で大入賞口21に入賞した遊技球が特定領域25を通過しない場合に、複数のランク付けした小当たり遊技状態が発生する(例1)。あるいは、大当たり遊技状態中に第2種始動口(左第2種始動口11A、右第2種始動口11B、中第2種始動口12)に入賞した遊技球の個数を積算し、その積算個数に応じて複数にランク付けした小当たり遊技状態が、大当たり遊技状態終了後のボーナスラウンドとして付与される(例2)。
【0056】
通常遊技状態時には、第2種特別電動役物20の内部構造物の動作パターンは前記「パターンa」で、図4の(a)に示すように、下部排出口上流路変更部材22は水平となり、誘導回転体23の電磁石29は左右ともOFF、回転体上停留部ストッパ24はOFFである。
【0057】
この状態では、左第2種始動口11A、右第2種始動口11B、中第2種始動口12のいずれかに遊技球が入賞することにより、所定個数(例えば5個)の賞球の払い出しが行われるとともに、大入賞口21が1回または2回の開放される。そして、開放中の大入賞口21に入賞し、球通路61A,61Bを通って、水平となっている下部排出口上流路変更部材22に到達し停留された遊技球は、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27に吸着されて上部へ運ばれ、回転体上停留部ストッパ24が遊技球を保留しない状態であるため、そのまま一般領域26または特定領域25に誘導される。そして、一般領域26または特定領域25を通過することにより所定個数(例えば10個)の賞球払い出しが行われ、特定領域25を遊技球が通過すると大当たり遊技状態が発生する。
【0058】
このとき、下部排出口上流路変更部材22は水平で、電磁石29がOFFであるため、誘導回転体23により運ばれる遊技球は左右の一般領域26に誘導されやすく、特定領域25を通過する確率は高くない。
【0059】
また、大当たり遊技状態時には、第2種特別電動役物20の内部構造物の動作パターンは前記「パターンb」で、図4の(b)に示すように、下部排出口上流路変更部材22は水平より5度下に傾いて逆さ山なりとなり、誘導回転体23の電磁石29は左右ともOFF、回転体上停留部ストッパ24は当初ONである。
【0060】
この状態は、第2種特別電動役物20による大入賞口21の開放作動が18回、あるいはその作動中に大入賞口21に10個の遊技球が入賞するまでの1ラウンドとし、ラウンド中に遊技球が特定領域25を通過することを条件として、役物連続作動装置の作動中、最高16ラウンドまで継続される。ラウンド中とは大入賞口開口開始から18回の作動が終了し、更に例えば2秒の有効時間が経過するまで、あるいは、大入賞口21の開放開始から入賞球カウントスイッチ51A、51Bにより通過球10球目が検知され、更に例えば2秒の有効時間が経過するまでである。
【0061】
そして、開放中の大入賞口21に入賞し、球通路61A,61Bを通って、逆さ山なりとなっている下部排出口上流路変更部材22に到達し停留された遊技球は、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27に吸着されて上部へ運ばれ、回転体上停留部ストッパ24により誘導回転体23の上部に保留され、遊技球10個の検知あるいは18回の開放作動の終了し、所定時間が経過して、回転体上停留部ストッパ24がOFFとなると、上部に保留されていた遊技球は保留が解除されて、一般領域26または特定領域25に誘導される。そして、遊技球が特定領域25を通過することにより次ラウンドへ継続する。
【0062】
このとき、下部排出口上流路変更部材22が逆さ山なりであるため、遊技球は誘導回転体23の表面中央側の永久磁石27へ吸着されやすく、誘導回転体23の回転により運ばれて特定領域25を通過する確率が高くなる。
【0063】
また、小当たり遊技状態時の第2種特別電動役物20の内部構造物の動作パターンは、前記「パターンI」、「パターンII」、「パターンIII」、「パターンIV」である。小当たり遊技状態は、前記例1の場合は、遊技球のカウントスイッチ(大入賞口左スイッチ51A、大入賞口右スイッチ51B)通過を契機とする抽選により、小当たり遊技状態のランク(小当たりA〜D)が判定され、その判定されたランクが図柄表示装置31に図柄表示されるとともに、そのランクに応じて、第2種特別電動役物20の内部構造物の当初ラウンドの動作パターンが、前記「パターンI」あるいは「パターンII」に設定され、その動作パターンは、1ラウンド5回の大入賞口21の開放中および開放後の所定ディレー時間の間に遊技球が特定領域25を通過し次ラウンドへ進む毎に、表1に示すように変化する。

また、前記例2の場合は、大当たり遊技状態中に第2種始動口(左第2種始動口11A、右第2種始動口11B、中第2種始動口12)に入賞した遊技球の個数に応じ、より詳細には、第2種始動口入賞に対応する大入賞口21の換算開口回数(例えば左第2種始動口11Aあるいは右第2種始動口11Bの入賞球が11個で、中第2種始動口12の入賞球が2個であったとすると、対応する大入賞口21の換算開口回数開口回数は、15回(11×1+2×2=15)である。)に応じて、小当たり遊技状態のランク(小当たりA〜D)が付与され、その付与されたランク(あるいは入賞個数のカウントアップ)が図柄表示装置31に表示されるとともに、そのランクに応じて、第2種特別電動役物20の内部構造物の当初ラウンドの動作パターンが、やはり前記「パターンI」あるいは「パターンII」に設定され、その動作パターンは、1ラウンド5回の大入賞口21の開放中および開放後の所定ディレー時間の間に遊技球が特定領域25を通過し次ラウンドへ進む毎に、やはり表1に示す態様で変化する。
【0067】
(小当たりランクA
小当たりランクAのときには、大入賞口21が最初に5回開閉するまで(初回ラウンド)の間、第2種特別電動役物20の内部構造物の動作パターンは前記「パターンII」(丸印)となり、このとき、図5の(b)に示すように、下部排出口上流路変更部材22は水平で、誘導回転体23の電磁石29は左右ともON、回転体上停留部ストッパ24はOFFである。
【0068】
開放中の大入賞口21に入賞し、球通路61A,61Bを通って、下部排出口上流路変更部材22に到達し停留された遊技球は、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27と電磁石29に吸着されて上部へ運ばれ、回転体上停留部ストッパ24が遊技球を停留させない状態であるため、そのまま一般領域26または特定領域25に誘導される。そして、一般領域26または特定領域25を通過することにより所定個数(例えば10個)の賞球払い出しが行われ、特定領域25を遊技球が通過すると次ラウンドへの継続が可能となる。
【0069】
このとき、中央寄りの電磁石29がONであるため、誘導回転体23により運ばれる遊技球が特定領域25を通過する確率が高くなる。
【0070】
そして、次ラウンド(開閉回数6〜10回)へ進むと、動作パターンは前記「パターンIII」(三角印)となり、このとき、図6の(a)に示すように、下部排出口上流路変更部材22は山なりで、誘導回転体23の電磁石29は左右ともON、回転体上停留部ストッパ24はOFFである。
【0071】
開放中の大入賞口21に入賞し、球通路61A,61Bを通って、下部排出口上流路変更部材22に到達し停留された遊技球は、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27に吸着されて上部へ運ばれ、回転体上停留部ストッパ24が遊技球を停留させない状態であるため、そのまま一般領域26または特定領域25に誘導される。そして、一般領域26または特定領域25を通過することにより所定個数(例えば10個)の賞球払い出しが行われ、特定領域25を遊技球が通過すると次ラウンドへの継続が可能となる。
【0072】
このとき、下部排出口上流路変更部材22が山なりであるため、誘導回転体23により運ばれる遊技球は左右の一般領域26に誘導されやすく、特定領域25を通過する確率は低い。
【0073】
そして、さらに次ラウンド(開閉回数11〜15回)へ進むと、動作パターンは前記「パターンIV」(×印)となり、このとき、図6の(b)に示すように、下部排出口上流路変更部材22は45度下に傾いて下方に開き、誘導回転体23の電磁石29は左右ともOFF、回転体上停留部ストッパ24はOFFである。
【0074】
開放中の大入賞口21に入賞し、球通路61A,61Bを通って、下部排出口上流路変更部材22に到達した遊技球は、停留され難くて、多くは下部排出口から排出される。そして、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27に吸着されて上部へ運ばれた遊技球は、回転体上停留部ストッパ24が遊技球を停留させない状態であるため、そのまま一般領域26または特定領域25に誘導されて、一般領域26または特定領域25を通過し、所定個数(例えば10個)の賞球払い出しが行われる。
【0075】
このとき、下部排出口上流路変更部材22が45度下に傾いて下方に開き、且つ電磁石29がOFFであるため、遊技球が特定領域25へ導かれる確率は極めて低い。この「パターンIV」(×印)で1ラウンドが経過すると、小当たり遊技状態は終了する。
【0076】
(小当たりランクB)
小当たりランクBのときには、大入賞口21が最初に5回開閉するまで(初回ラウンド)の間、第2種特別電動役物20の内部構造物の動作パターンは前記「パターンI」(2重丸印)となり、このとき、図5の(a)に示すように、下部排出口上流路変更部材22は水平より5度下に傾いて逆さ山なりで、誘導回転体23の電磁石29は左右ともOFF、回転体上停留部ストッパ24はONである。
【0077】
この状態では、左第2種始動口11A、右第2種始動口11B、中第2種始動口12のいずれかに遊技球が入賞することにより、所定個数(例えば5個)の賞球の払い出しが行われるとともに、大入賞口21が1回または2回開放される(1回が0.8秒)。そして、開放中の大入賞口21に入賞し、球通路61A,61Bを通って、下部排出口上流路変更部材22に到達し停留された遊技球は、誘導回転体23の永久磁石28および27に吸着されて上部へ運ばれ、回転体上停留部ストッパ24により誘導回転体23の上部に保留され、遊技球10個の検知あるいは18回の開放作動の終了し、所定時間が経過して、回転体上停留部ストッパ24がOFFとなると、上部に保留されていた遊技球は保留が解除されて、一般領域26または特定領域25に誘導される。そして、遊技球が特定領域25を通過することにより次ラウンドへ継続する。
【0078】
このとき、下部排出口上流路変更部材22が逆さ山なりであるため、遊技球は誘導回転体23の表面中央側の永久磁石27へ吸着されやすく、誘導回転体23の回転により運ばれて特定領域25を通過する確率が高くなる。
【0079】
そして、次ラウンド(開閉回数6〜10回)へ進むと、動作パターンは前記図5の(b)の「パターンII」(丸印)となり、さらに次ラウンド(開閉回数11〜15回)へ進むと、動作パターンは前記図6の(a)の「パターンIII」(三角印)となり、さらに次ラウンド(開閉回数16〜20回)へ進むと、動作パターンは前記図6の(b)の「パターンIV」(×印)となり、「パターンIV」(×印)で1ラウンドが経過すると、小当たり遊技状態は終了する。
【0080】

[0055]
  In this gaming machine, the game ball passes through the second type starting port (the left second type starting port 11A, the right second type starting port 11B, the middle second type starting port 12) in the normal gaming state, and the prize winning port. 21 is opened, and a big hit gaming state occurs when the game ball that has won the opened big winning opening 21 has passed the specific area 25 inside the second type special electric accessory 20. In addition, when a game ball won in the big winning opening 21 in the normal gaming state does not pass through the specific area 25, a plurality of ranked small hit gaming states occur (example 1). Alternatively, the number of game balls won in the second type starting port (left second type starting port 11A, right second type starting port 11B, middle second type starting port 12) during the jackpot gaming state is integrated and the integration is performed. The small hit gaming state ranked in plural according to the number is awarded as a bonus round after the end of the big hit gaming state (example 2).
[0056]
  In the normal gaming state, the operation pattern of the internal structure of the second type special electric accessory 20 is the “pattern a”, and the lower outlet upper flow path changing member 22 is horizontal as shown in FIG. The electromagnet 29 of the induction rotating body 23 is OFF on both the left and right sides, and the rotating body upper stop stopper 24 is OFF.
[0057]
  In this state, a predetermined number (for example, 5) of winning balls are obtained by winning a game ball in any of the left second type starting port 11A, the right second type starting port 11B, and the middle second type starting port 12. As a result of payout, the grand prize winning opening 21 is opened once or twice. Then, the game ball that has won the open big winning opening 21 and has reached the horizontal lower discharge opening upper flow path changing member 22 through the ball passages 61A and 61B, Since it is attracted by the permanent magnets 28 and 27 and carried to the upper part and the upper stop portion stopper 24 of the rotating body does not hold the game ball, it is guided to the general area 26 or the specific area 25 as it is. Then, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls are paid out by passing through the general area 26 or the specific area 25, and when a game ball passes through the specific area 25, a big hit gaming state is generated.
[0058]
  At this time, since the lower discharge port upper flow path changing member 22 is horizontal and the electromagnet 29 is OFF, the game ball carried by the induction rotating body 23 is easily guided to the left and right general areas 26, and the probability of passing the specific area 25 Is not expensive.
[0059]
  In the big hit game state, the operation pattern of the internal structure of the second type special electric accessory 20 is the “pattern b”, and as shown in FIG. It tilts down 5 degrees below the horizontal and becomes upside down, the electromagnets 29 of the induction rotating body 23 are OFF at both the left and right, and the rotating body top stop stopper 24 is initially ON.
[0060]
  In this state, the opening operation of the grand prize opening 21 by the type 2 special electric accessory 20 is 18 times, or one round until 10 game balls are awarded to the big prize opening 21 during the operation. On the condition that the game ball passes through the specific area 25, it is continued up to 16 rounds during the operation of the accessory continuous operation device. During the round, 18 operations have been completed since the opening of the grand prize opening, and further, for example, until a valid time of 2 seconds elapses, or from the start of the opening of the big prize opening 21, the passing ball is counted by the winning ball count switches 51A and 51B. Until the tenth ball is detected, for example, an effective time of 2 seconds elapses.
[0061]
  Then, the game ball which has won the open large winning opening 21 and has passed through the ball passages 61A and 61B and reached the lower discharge port upper flow path changing member 22 which is an upside down mountain, It is attracted to the upper 23 permanent magnets 28 and 27 and carried to the upper part, and is retained on the upper part of the induction rotating body 23 by the stop 24 on the rotating body, and the detection of 10 gaming balls or the opening operation of 18 times is completed. When the predetermined time elapses and the rotating body upper stop stopper 24 is turned OFF, the game ball held on the upper side is released and guided to the general area 26 or the specific area 25. Then, the game ball continues to the next round by passing through the specific area 25.
[0062]
  At this time, since the lower discharge port upper flow path changing member 22 has an upside-down mountain shape, the game ball is attracted to the permanent magnet 27 on the surface center side of the induction rotating body 23.SukuThe probability of passing through the specific region 25 is increased by the rotation of the guide rotator 23.
[0063]
  Further, the operation patterns of the internal structure of the second type special electric accessory 20 in the small hit gaming state are the “pattern I”, “pattern II”, “pattern III”, and “pattern IV”. In the case of Example 1, the small hit gaming state is determined by the lottery triggered by the passing of the game ball count switch (big winning port left switch 51A, big winning port right switch 51B). A to D) are determined, and the determined rank is displayed as a symbol on the symbol display device 31, and according to the rank, the initial round operation pattern of the internal structure of the second type special electric accessory 20 is determined. The “Pattern I” or “Pattern II” is set, and the operation pattern is that the game ball passes through the specific area 25 during the predetermined delay time during and after the opening of the big winning opening 21 for five rounds. However, each time the process proceeds to the next round, it changes as shown in Table 1.
[0064]
[Table 1]
Figure 0003811034
[0065]
  In Table 1, the double circle indicates a high probability “pattern I”, the circle indicates a medium probability “pattern II”, the triangle indicates a low probability “pattern III”, and the x indicates an extremely low value The probability “pattern IV” is shown.
[0066]
  In the case of Example 2, the game balls won in the second type starting port (left second type starting port 11A, right second type starting port 11B, middle second type starting port 12) during the big hit gaming state. According to the number, more specifically, the number of converted openings of the large winning opening 21 corresponding to the second type starting opening winning (for example, 11 winning balls of the left second type starting opening 11A or the right second type starting opening 11B Assuming that there are two winning balls at the middle second type starting port 12, the corresponding number of opening times of the large winning port 21 is 15 times (11 × 1 + 2 × 2 = 15). In addition, the ranks of the small hit gaming state (small hits A to D) are assigned, and the assigned rank (or the number of winnings is counted up) is displayed on the symbol display device 31, and according to the rank, The operation pattern of the initial round of the internal structure of the two types of special electric accessories 20 is the same as the “pattern” described above. Down I "or" patternIIThe operation pattern is also displayed each time the game ball passes through the specific area 25 and proceeds to the next round during the predetermined delay time after the opening of the big winning opening 21 for five rounds. 1 is changed.
[0067]
  (Small hit rank A)
  At the small hit rank A, the operation pattern of the internal structure of the second type special electric accessory 20 is the “pattern II” (circle) until the first prize opening 21 is opened and closed five times for the first time (first round). At this time, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the lower discharge port upper flow path changing member 22 is horizontal, the electromagnets 29 of the induction rotating body 23 are ON on both sides, and the rotating body stop stopper 24 is OFF. It is.
[0068]
  The game balls that have entered the open big winning opening 21 and passed through the ball passages 61A and 61B to reach the lower discharge port upper flow path changing member 22 and are stopped are the permanent magnets 28 and 27 of the induction rotating body 23 and the electromagnets. Since it is adsorbed by 29 and carried to the upper part and the rotating body upper stop stopper 24 does not stop the game ball, it is directly guided to the general area 26 or the specific area 25. Then, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of prize balls are paid out by passing through the general area 26 or the specific area 25, and when the game ball passes through the specific area 25, it is possible to continue to the next round.
[0069]
  At this time, since the electromagnet 29 closer to the center is ON, the probability that the game ball carried by the induction rotating body 23 passes through the specific area 25 is increased.
[0070]
  Then, when proceeding to the next round (opening and closing times 6 to 10), the operation pattern becomes “Pattern III” (triangle mark). At this time, as shown in FIG. The member 22 is a mountain, the electromagnet 29 of the induction rotating body 23 is ON on both the left and right sides, and the rotating body top stop stopper 24 is OFF.
