Description

【００４０】
この表１に示した図柄の組合せは、左図柄２ａと右図柄２ｂとが同一図柄にて一致し中図柄２ｃが特定記号「Ｌ」（ＬＵＣＫＹ）である場合の１２種類と、左図柄２ａ、右図柄２ｂ、中図柄２ｃに表示される全ての数字が一致した場合のみの１２種類の、合計２４種類によって構成される。
【００４１】
尚、図５の制御フローチャートにおいて、前記Ｓ１０にて発射した遊技球が前記左右２０，２１を通過せずに遊技盤１０に設けられた各入賞口のうちの何れかの入賞口に入賞した場合（Ｓ１２「ＮＯ」、Ｓ１６）は、又、前記Ｓ２６にて示したように、第一種始動入賞口４に入賞しなかった場合（Ｓ２６「ＮＯ」）は、その入賞口毎に設定された個数の賞球が払出される（Ｓ１６「ＹＥＳ」、Ｓ１８）。但し、入賞しなければ「はずれ」となり（Ｓ２０）、排出口２７から排出される。
【００４２】
但し、前記Ｓ２２において普通図柄表示装置５が前記「当たり」図柄を表示しなかった場合（Ｓ２２「ＮＯ」）、及び、前記Ｓ２８において特別図柄表示装置２が表１に示した「大当たり」図柄のうち何れも表示しなかった場合（Ｓ３０「ＮＯ」）は「はずれ」と称され（Ｓ３４）、遊技状況は変化しない。
【００４３】
図６は、前記図５に示したＳ３２によって「大当たり」が発生し、それに伴って作動する条件装置の作動を示したフローチャートである。前記「大当たり」の発生に伴って条件装置が作動すると、特別電動役物である大入賞口６が開放され（Ｓ４０）、「大当たり」に伴う特別の遊技状況が開始する。この大入賞口６は、開放してから２０秒間が経過する（Ｓ４２「ＹＥＳ」）か、又は、大入賞口６内に設けられた左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９への遊技球の入賞個数の合計数が１０個カウントされる（Ｓ４２「ＮＯ」、Ｓ４４「ＹＥＳ」）と、閉じられる（Ｓ４６）。
【００４４】
但し、前記Ｓ４２及びＳ４４に示した大入賞口６が開放してから２０秒が経過する以前か、又は、左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９への遊技球の入賞個数の合計が１０個未満であれば（Ｓ４４「ＮＯ」）、前記Ｓ４２及びＳ４４に示した遊技状況が発生するまで前記動作を繰り返すことになる。
【００４５】
前記条件装置の連続作動回数（ラウンド数）は、前記左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９のうち、遊技球が一番始めに通過した通過口に応じて設定される。つまり、既述したように、前記左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９には各々条件装置の連続作動回数が予め設定されていることから、大入賞口６の開放によって１個目の遊技球が大入賞口６内部に入賞した際に、１番最初に通過した通過口に設定された連続作動回数が設定されるように構成される。尚、この条件装置の連続作動回数に関する詳細については、後述する。
【００４６】
そして、前記したように左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９の何れかの通過口への遊技球の通過によって設定された連続作動回数に至るまで、上記条件装置の作動を繰り返す（Ｓ４８「ＮＯ」）。但し、連続作動回数に至れば条件装置の作動は終了し（Ｓ５０）、「大当たり」も終了することになる。
【００４７】
図７は、本遊技機における条件装置の連続作動回数の設定を示した制御フローチャートである。前記図６に示したように、本遊技機における「大当たり」発生に伴う条件装置の連続作動回数は、大入賞口６内に設けられる左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９への遊技球の通過によって設定される。そして、「大当たり」の発生に伴って条件装置が作動する（Ｓ６０）と、前記図２に図示した大入賞口６が開放され（Ｓ６２）、その内部に設けられる左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９の何れかを遊技球が通過することが可能となる。
【００４８】
前記左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９の各々には、予め「大当たり」に伴う条件装置の連続作動回数が設定される。そして、開放した大入賞口６に最初の遊技球が入賞（Ｓ６４「ＹＥＳ」）し、「大当たり」が発生してから一番始めに遊技球が通過したのが左通過口７であった場合（Ｓ６６「ＹＥＳ」）は、「大当たり」発生に伴う条件装置の連続作動回数は１６回が設定される。また、前記１番始めに遊技球が通過したのが中通過口８であれば（Ｓ６６「ＮＯ」、Ｓ７０「ＹＥＳ」）、条件装置の連続作動回数は１４回が設定され（Ｓ７２）、右通過口９であれば（Ｓ７０「ＮＯ」、Ｓ７４「ＹＥＳ」）、５回が各々設定されることになる（Ｓ７６「ＹＥＳ」）。
【００４９】
ここで、一番始めに遊技球が通過した通過口が左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９の何れかであるかの判別は、前記図３に示した左通過口用スイッチ３０、中通過口用スイッチ３１、右通過口用スイッチ３２からの検知信号をもって判別する。既述したように、各通過口７，８，９には前記通過口用スイッチ３０，３１，３２が各々設けられ、前記各通過口７，８，９における遊技球の通過を検出し検知信号を発信する。
【００５０】
前記検知信号は、前記図４に示したように、大入賞口基板６ｂ及び中継基板６１を介して主制御基板６０へと送られ、制御処理された後に所定個数の賞球払出等の動作が制御指示されるが、この制御処理する際に、送られてきた検知信号が前記通過口用スイッチ３０，３１，３２の何れにものであるかを合わせて判別するように構成される。
【００５１】
更に、前記検知信号の判別は「大当たり」が発生して大入賞口６が開放してから一番最初に送信されてきた検知信号に対してのみ行われ、二番目以降に送信されてきた検知信号に対しては、どの通過口用スイッチによる検知信号であるかの判別は行わず、その検知信号のカウントのみを行う。
【００５２】
そして、前記Ｓ６６、Ｓ７０、又はＳ７４に示した各通過口７，８，９の何れかを通過することによって条件装置の連続作動回数が設定されると、それと共に１５個の賞球が払出される（Ｓ７８）。但し、前記Ｓ６４に示したように、左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９への遊技球の通過が１個目以降である場合（Ｓ６４「ＮＯ」）、及び、遊技球が各通過口７，８，９の何れも通過したかった（大入賞口６に入賞しなかった）場合（Ｓ７４「ＮＯ」）は、条件装置の連続作動回数は、既に前記Ｓ６８、Ｓ７２、Ｓ７６に示した何れかの作動回数が設定されていることから、新たに設定がされることはない。
【００５３】
尚、一度設定された条件装置の連続作動回数の設定期間は、「大当たり」に伴う条件装置の作動が終了するまでである。つまり、「大当たり」動作が終了するまでの間であり、よって、新たに「大当たり」が発生する毎に図７に示した方法をもって条件装置の連続作動回数を設定するように構成される。
【００５４】
図８は、前記図７によって連続作動回数が設定された場合の条件装置の作動を詳細に示した制御フローチャートである。前記図７に既述したように、開放した大入賞口６に遊技球が入賞する（Ｓ９０、Ｓ９２「ＹＥＳ」）と、前記図２に図示したように、遊技球は左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９の何れかの通過口を通過する。この遊技球が前記通過口７，８，９において１番始めの通過球であった場合（Ｓ９４「ＹＥＳ」）は、その通過した前記通過口毎に設定された条件装置の連続作動回数がこの「大当たり」動作における連続作動回数として設定され（Ｓ９６）、更に１５個の賞球が払出される。
【００５５】
但し、前記遊技球による左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９への通過が２個目以降であった場合（Ｓ９４「ＮＯ」）は、条件装置の連続作動回数の設定は行わず、１５個の賞球のみが払出される（Ｓ９８）。
【００５６】
ここで前記左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９の何れかを通過した遊技球は、１番始めの通過球か２個目以降の通過球か等を問わず全ての通過球がカウントされ（Ｓ１００）、前記各通過口７，８，９を通過した合計個数がカウントされるように構成される。そして、このカウントされた合計個数は、大入賞口を閉じる際の条件として用いられることになる。
【００５７】
前記Ｓ９６で設定された条件装置の連続作動回数は複数回が設定される（本実施例においては１６回、１４回、５回）ことから、その設定回数分、大入賞口６が開閉動作を行うことになる。そして、「大当たり」発生に伴って条件装置が作動し、開放された大入賞口６が一旦閉じられるのは、前記図７にて既述したように、大入賞口６が開放されてから２０秒間が経過したときか、或いは、１回の大入賞口６開放中に左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９を通過した遊技球が１０個を数えたときである。
【００５８】
前記した条件が発生すると（Ｓ１０２「ＹＥＳ」）、それまで開放されていた大入賞口６は一旦閉じられ（Ｓ１０４）、前記Ｓ９６で設定された条件装置における連続作動回数の１ラウンドが終了する。この大入賞口６は一旦閉じられる度にカウントされ（Ｓ１０６）、該カウント数が前記Ｓ９６にて設定された連続作動回数分の作動を行っていなければ（Ｓ１０８「ＮＯ」）、大入賞口６は再度開放され上記動作を繰り返すことになる。
【００５９】
また、前記Ｓ１０２に示したように、大入賞口６が開放されてから２０秒間が経過する以前、又は１回の大入賞口６開放中に左通過口７、中通過口８、右通過口９を通過した遊技球の合計個数が１０個未満の場合（Ｓ１０２「ＮＯ」）は、大入賞口６は閉じることなく、前記Ｓ１０２に示した条件が発生するまで、遊技球は前記各通過口７，８，９への通過を繰り返すことになる。
【００６０】
そして、前記Ｓ９６にて設定した連続作動回数分の作動が終了する（Ｓ１０８「ＹＥＳ」）と、「大当たり」に伴う条件装置の作動も終了（Ｓ１１０）することになる。
【００６１】
このように、大入賞口内に左通過口、中通過口、右通過口を設けて大入賞口に入賞する遊技球が必ず前記通過口の何れかを通過するようにすることで、条件装置の連続作動回数が設定される共に、通過口を通過した遊技球の合計個数をカウントして、１ラウンド終了の終了条件に設定される。これらの設定は、遊技者が発射した遊技球によるものであるから、遊技者は「大当たり」が発生した後は、今度は「大当たり」に伴う条件装置の連続作動回数を設定するための遊技を行うことになる。
【００６２】
本発明は、上記した実施の形態に何ら限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の改変が可能である。例えば、上記実施例における左通過口、中通過口、右通過口の配置場所、及び形状、各通過口に設定される遊技状況の追加及び変更、また、本実施例においては前記連続作動回数の設定は、大入賞口開放後、１番始めに遊技球が通過した前記通過口に設定された連続作動回数を設定するものとしたが、これらの追加変更等は適宜可能であり、それによって更に遊興性が増し、遊技者の興趣が一層高められる。
【００６３】
また、上記構成の他、「大当たり」図柄を設定する特別図柄表示装置や始動入賞口における拡開、開放状態を設定する普通図柄表示装置において、変動切換表示される複数且つ多数種類の図柄のうち、予め定めた特別の図柄が表示された場合には、その予め定められた図柄の別により、大入賞口における連続開放回数、継続回数を選択設定する連続開放継続開放選択設定用表示制御手段を設ける構成としてもよい。
【００６４】
このようにすれば、大入賞口内における遊技球の振分構造を簡略化、若しくは無くしても、変動切換表示される特別な図柄に関する設定制御を行う手段等だけで大入賞口の継続回数の連続動作回数を複数種類パチンコ遊技機に出現させて、更に、継続回数が多数回で一度に多く遊技球を入賞させることが可能な大入賞口開放動作が多様化された趣向性の高いパチンコ遊技機を提供することが可能となる。
【００６５】
また更に、大入賞口における特別入賞領域の別により、継続回数連続回数が切換えられる場合には、継続回数が多数回設定された遊技制御態様の場合には原因となった特別入賞領域に対しては少ない賞球の払出し数を設定し、継続回数を少数回設定する他の特別入賞領域に対しては多数の賞球を払出すよう、パチンコ機の払出制御装置を設定制御する構成としてもよい。
【００６６】
このようにすれば、大入賞口の継続開放動作回数と、大入賞口への入賞に伴って払出される賞球の払出態様とに関連のある趣向性を加えることを可能とする。特に、継続回数が多数回であっても少数の継続回数であっても、「大当たり」発生時に払出される賞球の総数は同時に設定することが可能で、大入賞口の継続開放動作状態から遊技者が感得できる趣向性は異ならせ、遊技者が取得する利益は一律のものとして設定できる。
【００６７】
【発明の効果】
本発明の請求項１に記載されるパチンコ遊技機によれば、「大当たり」図柄の表示に伴って大入賞口が開放されると、遊技球はこの開放された大入賞口内へ入賞し大入賞口内に設けられた左通過口、中通過口、右通過口の何れかを通過する。そして、これらの通過口には各々異なった回数の連続作動回数（本実施例においては１６回、１４回、５回）が設定され、前記回数のうち、何れの連続作動回数が設定されるかは、遊技球の入賞によるように設定すれば、何れの連続作動回数が設定されるかはランダムに設定されることになり、遊技者は大入賞口への入賞に伴う賞球を得られる満足感と共に、興味をもって今後の遊技を進めて行くことができる。
また大入賞口の連続作動回数と、大入賞口への入賞に伴って払出される賞球の払出態様とに関連性のある趣向性を加えることを可能とする。特に、連続作動回数が多数回であっても少数の連続作動回数であっても、「大当たり」発生時に払出される賞球の数は同時に設定することが可能で、大入賞口の連続作動状態から遊技者が感得できる趣向性は異ならせ、遊技者が取得する利益は一律のものとして設定できる。
更に請求項２に記載の発明によれば、大入賞口内に条件装置の連続作動回数を設定した左通過口、中通過口、右通過口を設け、大入賞口に入賞した遊技球がこれらの通過口の何れかを通過することにより連続作動回数が設定されることから、遊技者は条件装置の連続作動回数の予測ができず、又、この設定に関わるのは遊技者自身が発射した遊技球に基づくことから、遊技への興趣が一層掻き立てられることが期待される。
また、請求項３に記載の発明によれば、条件装置の連続作動回数の設定は「大当たり」が発生する度に更新設定され、この設定には、「大当たり」発生後に大入賞口に入賞した遊技球が左通過口、中通過口、右通過口のうち、１番始めに通過した通過口の連続作動回数が設定されることにより、「大当たり」が発生する度に連続作動回数がことなり、遊技者は「大当たり」が発生した後は条件装置の連続作動回数の設定という新たなゲーム感覚をもって「大当たり」動作を楽しむことができる。また、遊技を進めていくうちに左通過口、中通過口、右通過口に設定された連続作動回数が認識されることから、遊技者自身が遊技状況を認識し易い。
更に、遊技球が１番始めに左通過口、中通過口、右通過口の何れを通過したかを判定する方法としては請求項４に記載の発明のように前記、各通過口に設けられた遊技球の通過を検出する検知スイッチによる出力信号を用いるとよい。前記検知スイッチは、その遊技球の通過を検知することによって賞球を払出すものであるが、この賞球払出を要求する出力信号のうち、大入賞口が開放されてから１番最初に発信された出力信号をもって前記通過口を判定することから、その判定結果に対する信用度は高く、また効率的に判定動作を実施できる効果を得る。
また、条件装置の連続作動回数中における１ラウンド毎の終了設定の１つとして、請求項５に記載の発明のように、左通過口、中通過口、右通過口を通過した遊技球の合計個数をカウントし、その個数が例えば１０個に至れば１ラウンドを終了し大入賞口を一旦閉じるようにすると良い。こうすれば、１ラウンド毎の終了が明確になると共に、従来のように大入賞口に遊技球が入賞しない状態も特定領域入賞口を遊技球が通過すれば１ラウンドを終了するといったことがなくなり、賞球を得やすくなることから、遊技者の満足度は高くなると共に、より一層遊興性の高い遊技機を提供できる。

When the game ball launched at the start of the game passes through one of the left and right gates 20 and 21 provided on the game board 10 (S10, S12 “YES”), the normal symbol display device 5 starts to change (S14). ). Numbers from “0” to “9” are set for the symbols displayed on the normal symbol display device 5, and among these, “1, 3, 5, 7, 9” are referred to as “winning symbols”. When the “winning symbol” is displayed, the first type start winning opening 4 is opened for a short time.
[0037]
The normal symbol display device 5 stops when a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds) elapses from the start of the change, and displays any symbol (number) from “0” to “9”. When the symbol displayed here is the “winning” symbol (any one of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) (S22 “YES”), the first type start winning opening 4 is set for 0.3 seconds. Opening is performed once (S24). When a game ball wins during the opening (S26 “YES”), the first type start winning port switch 33 detects the winning, and six detection balls are paid out by outputting a detection signal.
[0038]
Furthermore, the symbols 2a, 2b and 2c of the special symbol display device 2 start to change (S28). When a predetermined time (for example, 5.8 seconds) elapses after the symbols 2a, 2b, and 2c start to change, the change is stopped and the symbols are displayed. If the combination of symbols displayed here is one of the combinations shown in Table 1 (S30 “YES”), a special game situation called “Big Bonus” occurs, and the condition device operates ( S32).
[0039]
[Table 1]

[0040]
The combinations of symbols shown in Table 1 include twelve types in which the left symbol 2a and the right symbol 2b are identical in the same symbol and the middle symbol 2c is the specific symbol “L” (LUCKY), and the left symbol 2a, It consists of a total of 24 types, 12 types only when all the numbers displayed on the right symbol 2b and the middle symbol 2c match.
[0041]
In the control flowchart of FIG. 5, when the game ball launched in S10 wins any one of the winning ports provided in the game board 10 without passing through the left and right 20, 21 (S12 “NO”, S16) is also set for each winning opening when the first type start winning opening 4 is not won (S26 “NO”) as shown in S26. The number of prize balls is paid out (S16 “YES”, S18). However, if there is no winning, it becomes “disconnected” (S20), and is discharged from the discharge port 27.
[0042]
However, when the normal symbol display device 5 does not display the “winning” symbol in S22 (S22 “NO”), and in S28, the special symbol display device 2 displays the “big hit” symbol shown in Table 1. When none of them is displayed (“NO” in S30), it is called “out of” (S34), and the gaming situation does not change.
[0043]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the condition device that operates in response to the occurrence of “big hit” in S32 shown in FIG. When the condition device is activated along with the occurrence of the “big hit”, the special winning combination 6 which is a special electric accessory is opened (S40), and a special game situation associated with the “big hit” is started. 20 seconds have passed since the opening of the grand prize winning opening 6 (S42 “YES”), or to the left passage opening 7, the middle passage opening 8, and the right passage opening 9 provided in the big winning opening 6 When the total number of winning balls of the game balls is counted (S42 “NO”, S44 “YES”), the game ball is closed (S46).
[0044]
However, the number of game balls won in the left passing port 7, the middle passing port 8 and the right passing port 9 before 20 seconds have passed since the grand winning port 6 shown in S42 and S44 is opened. If the total is less than 10 ("NO" in S44), the above operation is repeated until the game situation shown in S42 and S44 occurs.
[0045]
The number of continuous operations (number of rounds) of the condition device is set according to the passage through which the game ball first passes among the left passage 7, the middle passage 8, and the right passage 9. That is, as described above, since the number of continuous operation of the condition device is set in advance in each of the left passage port 7, the middle passage port 8, and the right passage port 9, one piece is obtained by opening the prize winning port 6. When the game ball of the eye wins the inside of the big winning opening 6, it is configured such that the number of continuous operations set for the first passing passage is set. In addition, the detail regarding the frequency | count of continuous operation | movement of this condition apparatus is mentioned later.
[0046]
Then, as described above, the operation of the condition device is repeated until the number of continuous operations set by the passing of the game ball to any one of the left passage port 7, the middle passage port 8, and the right passage port 9 is reached. (S48 “NO”). However, if the number of continuous operations is reached, the operation of the condition device is terminated (S50), and the “big hit” is also terminated.
[0047]
FIG. 7 is a control flowchart showing the setting of the number of continuous operations of the condition device in this gaming machine. As shown in FIG. 6, the number of continuous operation of the condition device accompanying the occurrence of “big hit” in this gaming machine is to the left passage port 7, the middle passage port 8, and the right passage port 9 provided in the big prize opening 6. Set by the passing of game balls. When the condition device is activated in response to the occurrence of the “big hit” (S60), the big winning opening 6 shown in FIG. 2 is opened (S62), and the left passage opening 7 and the middle passage opening provided therein are opened. 8. It becomes possible for a game ball to pass through either the right passage 9.
[0048]
In each of the left passage port 7, the middle passage port 8, and the right passage port 9, the number of continuous operation of the condition device associated with “big hit” is set in advance. Then, when the first game ball wins the opened big winning opening 6 (S64 “YES”), and the first passing game ball is the left passing opening 7 after the “big hit” occurs. In (S66 “YES”), the number of continuous operations of the condition device associated with the occurrence of “big hit” is set to 16 times. If the game ball passes through the middle passage port 8 first (S66 “NO”, S70 “YES”), the number of continuous operations of the condition device is set to 14 (S72), If it is the passage port 9 (S70 “NO”, S74 “YES”), five times are set (S76 “YES”).
[0049]
Here, it is determined whether the passing port through which the game ball first passes is the left passing port 7, the middle passing port 8 or the right passing port 9 as shown in FIG. 30. The determination is made based on the detection signals from the middle passage port switch 31 and the right passage port switch 32. As described above, the passage ports 7, 8, and 9 are provided with the passage port switches 30, 31, and 32, respectively, to detect the passage of the game ball at the passage ports 7, 8, and 9 and detect signals. To send.
[0050]
As shown in FIG. 4, the detection signal is sent to the main control board 60 through the big prize opening board 6b and the relay board 61, and after a control process, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out. Although the control is instructed, it is configured so as to determine which of the passing port switches 30, 31, 32 is the detection signal sent when performing this control processing.
[0051]
Further, the detection signal is discriminated only for the detection signal transmitted first after the “big hit” occurs and the big winning opening 6 is opened, and the detection signals transmitted after the second are detected. With respect to the signal, it is not determined which of the passing port switches is the detection signal, and only the detection signal is counted.
[0052]
Then, when the number of continuous operations of the condition device is set by passing through any of the passage openings 7, 8, 9 shown in S66, S70 or S74, 15 prize balls are paid out with it. (S78). However, as shown in S64, when the game ball passes through the left passage port 7, the middle passage port 8, and the right passage port 9 after the first pass (S64 “NO”), If any of the passage openings 7, 8, and 9 has not been passed (the winning prize opening 6 has not been won) ("NO" in S74), the number of continuous operations of the condition device has already been S68, S72, S76. Since any one of the operation counts shown in (1) is set, no new setting is made.
[0053]
It should be noted that the setting period of the number of continuous operations of the conditional device once set is until the operation of the conditional device associated with the “big hit” is completed. That is, it is until the end of the “big hit” operation. Therefore, each time a “big hit” is newly generated, the number of continuous operation of the condition device is set by the method shown in FIG.
[0054]
FIG. 8 is a control flowchart showing in detail the operation of the condition device when the number of continuous operations is set according to FIG. As described above with reference to FIG. 7, when a game ball wins the open big winning opening 6 (S90, S92 “YES”), as shown in FIG. It passes through one of the passage port 8 and the right passage port 9. When this game ball is the first passing ball at the passages 7, 8, and 9 ("YES" in S94), the number of continuous operation of the condition device set for each passing passage is It is set as the number of continuous operations in the “hit” operation (S96), and further 15 prize balls are paid out.
[0055]
However, if the game ball passes through the left passage port 7, the middle passage port 8, and the right passage port 9 after the second pass (S94 “NO”), the number of continuous operations of the condition device is set. Instead, only 15 prize balls are paid out (S98).
[0056]
Here, the game balls that have passed through any of the left passage port 7, the middle passage port 8, and the right passage port 9 are all passed balls regardless of whether they are the first passing ball or the second passing ball. Is counted (S100), and the total number passing through each of the passage openings 7, 8, 9 is counted. Then, the counted total number is used as a condition for closing the special winning opening.
[0057]
Since the number of continuous operations of the condition device set in S96 is set to a plurality of times (16, 14, and 5 in this embodiment), the special winning opening 6 opens and closes the set number of times. Will do. Then, the condition device is activated in response to the occurrence of the “big hit” and the opened large winning opening 6 is temporarily closed as described above with reference to FIG. 7 after the large winning opening 6 is opened. This is either when the second has elapsed or when ten game balls have passed through the left passing port 7, the middle passing port 8 and the right passing port 9 while the one big winning opening 6 is opened.
[0058]
When the above-described conditions occur (S102 “YES”), the special winning opening 6 that has been opened up to that point is temporarily closed (S104), and one round of the number of continuous operations in the condition device set in S96 ends. The special winning opening 6 is counted every time it is closed (S106). If the count is not performed for the number of continuous operations set in S96 ("NO" in S108), the special winning opening 6 is counted. Is opened again and the above operation is repeated.
[0059]
Further, as shown in S102, the left passing port 7, the middle passing port 8, the right passing port before 20 seconds have passed since the opening of the big winning port 6 or during the opening of the single winning port 6 once. If the total number of game balls that have passed 9 is less than 10 (“NO” in S102), the special winning opening 6 is not closed, and the game balls are not passed through the respective passing openings until the condition shown in S102 occurs. The passage to 7, 8, and 9 will be repeated.
[0060]
When the operation corresponding to the number of continuous operations set in S96 is completed (S108 “YES”), the operation of the condition device associated with the “big hit” is also terminated (S110).
[0061]
In this way, by providing a left passing port, a middle passing port, and a right passing port in the big winning opening so that a game ball winning in the big winning opening always passes through any of the passing openings, While the number of continuous operations is set, the total number of game balls that have passed through the passage opening is counted and set as an end condition for the end of one round. These settings are based on the game balls fired by the player. Therefore, after the “big hit” has occurred, the player can now play a game to set the number of consecutive operation of the condition device associated with the “big hit”. Will do.
[0062]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the location and shape of the left passing port, the middle passing port, and the right passing port in the above embodiment, addition and change of the game situation set in each passing port, and in this embodiment, the number of continuous operations The setting isBigAfter the winning opening is opened, the number of continuous operations set at the passing port through which the game ball has passed first is set, but these additional changes can be made as appropriate, thereby further increasing the playability. , The interest of the player is further enhanced.
[0063]
In addition to the above configuration, in a special symbol display device for setting a “hit” symbol and a normal symbol display device for setting an expansion / release state at a start winning opening, among a plurality and many types of symbols that are displayed in a variable manner. When a special symbol determined in advance is displayed, a display control means for continuous open continuous release selection setting for selectively setting the number of continuous releases and the number of continuations at the big prize opening according to the predetermined symbol is provided. It is good also as a structure to provide.
[0064]
In this way, even if the distribution structure of the game balls in the special winning opening is simplified or eliminated, the continuous number of consecutive winning prize openings can be continued only by means for performing setting control related to the special symbols that are displayed in a variable manner. A pachinko gaming machine with a high degree of taste that has a variety of operations to open a large winning opening that allows multiple types of pachinko gaming machines to appear, and allows many game balls to be won at once with a large number of continuations. Can be provided.
[0065]
Furthermore, when the continuous number of consecutive times is switched depending on the special prize area at the big prize opening, in the case of a game control mode in which the number of continuous times is set, the special prize area that caused the May be configured to set and control the payout control device of the pachinko machine so that a small number of prize balls are paid out and a large number of prize balls are paid out to other special winning areas where the number of continuations is set to a small number. .
[0066]
In this way, it is possible to add a preference related to the number of continuous opening operations of the big prize opening and the payout mode of the prize balls to be paid out in accordance with the winning to the big prize opening. In particular, regardless of whether the number of continuations is a large number or a small number of continuations, it is possible to set the total number of prize balls to be paid out at the time of occurrence of a “big hit”. The preferences that the player can feel can be varied, and the profits that the player can acquire can be set as uniform.
[0067]
【The invention's effect】
  According to the pachinko gaming machine described in claim 1 of the present invention, when the big winning opening is opened with the display of the “big hit” symbol, the game ball wins into the opened big winning opening and wins a big prize. Pass through any of the left, middle and right passage ports provided in the mouth.. AndA different number of continuous operation times (16 times, 14 times, and 5 times in the present embodiment) are set for each of these passages, and the number of continuous operation times among the above times is set. If the game ball is set to win, it will be set at random which number of continuous operations will be set.awardIn addition to the satisfaction of winning a prize ball for winning a prize in the mouth, the game can be advanced with interest.
In addition, it is possible to add a preference related to the number of continuous operations of the big prize opening and the payout mode of the prize balls to be paid out in accordance with the winning to the big prize opening. In particular, regardless of whether the number of continuous operations is a large number or a small number of continuous operations, the number of prize balls to be paid out when a “big hit” occurs can be set at the same time. Therefore, the interest that the player can feel can be varied, and the profits that the player can acquire can be set uniformly.
Furthermore, according to the invention described in claim 2, a left passing port, a middle passing port, and a right passing port, in which the number of continuous operations of the condition device is set, are provided in the big winning opening. Since the number of continuous operations is set by passing through one of the passage openings, the player cannot predict the number of continuous operations of the condition device, and this setting is related to the game that the player himself has fired. Because it is based on a ball, it is expected that the interest in gaming will be further stimulated.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the setting of the number of continuous operations of the condition device is updated every time a “big hit” occurs. By setting the number of continuous operation of the first pass through which the game ball passes first among the left pass port, the middle pass port, and the right pass port, the number of continuous operation is different each time a “big hit” occurs. The player can enjoy the “hit” operation with a new game sensation of setting the number of continuous operations of the condition device after the “hit” occurs. Further, as the game progresses, the number of continuous operations set at the left passage port, the middle passage port, and the right passage port is recognized, so that the player himself can easily recognize the game situation.
Further, as a method of determining whether the game ball has passed through the left passage port, the middle passage port, or the right passage port at the beginning, it is provided at each passage port as in the invention of claim 4. It is preferable to use an output signal from a detection switch that detects the passing of a game ball. The detection switch pays out a prize ball by detecting the passing of the game ball. Of the output signals requesting the prize ball, the first transmission is made after the big winning opening is opened. Since the passing port is determined based on the output signal, the reliability of the determination result is high, and the determination operation can be efficiently performed.
In addition, as one of the end settings for each round during the continuous operation of the condition device, as in the invention according to claim 5, the total number of game balls that have passed through the left passing port, the middle passing port, and the right passing port The number is counted, and when the number reaches, for example, ten, it is preferable to end one round and temporarily close the special winning opening. In this way, the end of each round is clarified, and even if the game ball does not win the big prize opening as in the conventional case, the round does not end if the game ball passes through the specific area prize opening. Since it becomes easier to obtain a prize ball, the satisfaction of the player is increased, and a gaming machine with even higher entertainment can be provided.
