  In the game island behind the pachinko machine 10, an out tank (not shown) through which a pachinko ball driven into the game area 12 of the pachinko machine 10 is guided is provided. In this out tank, a pachinko ball that is driven into the game area 12 and led to the back of the pachinko machine 10 from the out port 25 provided at the bottom of the game area 12 without winning any of the winning holes, Pachinko balls that have been awarded to any of the winning openings and led to the back of the pachinko machine 10 are collected. The out tank is provided with a driving ball counter 90 for counting the number of pachinko balls guided to the out tank, that is, the number of hitting balls, which is the number of pachinko balls driven into the game area 12. The driving ball counter 90 outputs a one-shot driving signal every time ten driving balls are counted as information that can specify the number of driving balls. The insert ball counter 90 is input to the signal input unit 101 common to the corresponding pachinko machine 10.

  Hereinafter, each component of the pachinko machine 10 will be described. First, the first start winning switch 21a is an example of a start detecting means for detecting a game medium in the start area, and here, a first start winning opening that is driven into the game area 12 and is an example of the start area. The pachinko ball which won 21 is detected. When a pachinko ball is detected by the first start winning switch 21a, from the game control board 81 that has recognized the detection via the switch relay board 83, as start detection information that can specify the detection of the game medium by the start detection means. Each time the detection is recognized, one pulse of the first start winning signal is outputted and inputted to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 via the external relay board 86. The game control board 81 is instructed to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls to the payout control board 82, and the payout control board 82 is instructed to pay out the prize balls to the ball payout device 82a. Prize balls are paid out from the ball payout device 82a.

  The second start winning switch 22a is also an example of a start detecting means, and detects a game medium in the start area. Here, the second start winning port is an example of the start area after being driven into the game area 12. The pachinko ball which won 22 is detected. When a pachinko ball is detected by the second start winning switch 22a, from the game control board 81 that has recognized the detection via the switch relay board 83, the start detection information that can specify the detection of the game medium by the start detection means is provided. Each time the detection is recognized, one pulse of the second start winning signal is outputted and inputted to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 through the external relay board 86. The game control board 81 is instructed to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls to the payout control board 82, and the payout control board 82 is instructed to pay out the prize balls to the ball payout device 82a. Prize balls are paid out from the ball payout device 82a.

  Further, a pachinko ball that has been driven into the game area 12 and won a prize in the first start winning opening 21 or the second starting winning opening 22 (hereinafter also simply referred to as “start winning opening”) is the first start winning switch 21a or the second start. When detected by the winning switch 22a (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “start winning switch”), if the number of effective start winnings that are held does not exceed a predetermined upper limit (for example, four), a special symbol A starting condition for executing variable display of the variable display device 31 is established, the winning becomes an effective starting winning, and the game control board 81 makes one random number out of a plurality of random numbers set in advance. Numerical values are extracted (S14 in FIG. 11).

  Here, for each of the plurality of random number values, a “small hit” in which a starting operation by a starting control means described later (that is, opening of the opening and closing pieces 42 and 42 described later) is executed, an effect display (what is called) of the effect display device 41 is performed. The “reach effect” is performed, or after the effect display by the effect display device 41 (so-called reach effect) is performed, the specific game state control means performs the second specific game state (first type big hit = direct hit big hit). Which game state of “big hit” is controlled in advance with a predetermined probability (for example, 114: 5: 1). The random value corresponding to “small hit” is set in advance with a predetermined probability (for example, 29: 1) as to whether the opening / closing pieces 42, 42 are controlled to be opened once or twice. ing. For the random value corresponding to “big hit”, a predetermined probability (for example, 1) is determined as to whether the open / close plate 76 is controlled to be 15 round big hits that are opened 15 times or 2 round big hits that are 2 times. : 1). The 15 round big hit is accompanied by a short time.

  The start condition established here (effective start prize) is stored and held in the game control board 81 together with the extracted random number value (S15 in FIG. 11), and the number of the start conditions held and stored is held. (The so-called number of balls to be held) is displayed on the special symbol start memory LED 31a. When the pachinko ball that has won the start prize opening is detected by the start prize switch, if the number of valid start prizes that are held exceeds the upper limit, the start condition is not satisfied, and the prize is invalid. However, even if the prize is invalid, the first start prize signal or the second start prize signal (hereinafter also simply referred to as “start prize signal”) is output, and a prize ball is given.

  The special symbol start memory LED 31a stores the number of reserves of the start condition, in other words, the number of effective start prizes used for variable display of the special symbol variable display device 31, and four LEDs corresponding to the upper limit. Have In the special symbol start memory LED 31a, the number of LEDs to be turned on increases by one each time the effective start winning is made. Each time the effective start winning is used and variable display of the special symbol variable display device 31 is started, the number of LEDs to be turned on decreases by one (that is, one LED is turned off).

  The special symbol variable display device 31 is an example of variable display means, and is special information that is a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified based on the detection of the game medium by the start detection means (start winning switch). The symbol is variably displayed. Here, the special symbol is variably displayed based on the fact that the start condition is satisfied after the start condition is satisfied. Here, the start condition is a variable display on the special symbol variable display device 31, a big hit state, and an accessory winning state (that is, until the pachinko ball detected by the accessory winning switch 43a is detected by the accessory discharging switch 72a). It ’s all over. Therefore, the start condition is not satisfied during the variable display on the special symbol variable display device 31, the big hit state, or the bonus winning state, and the special symbol variable display device 31. The variable display at is not started. The special symbol is, for example, 10 numbers from 0 to 9.

  The special symbol variable display device 31 is constituted by, for example, one 7-segment display. When the start condition is satisfied, the special symbol variable display is displayed by using one of the reserved start conditions. The variable display is stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed and the variable display result is derived and displayed according to the gaming state (small hit, miss, or big win) corresponding to the random value of the start condition. Specifically, when the gaming state corresponding to the random number value is “small hit”, the variable symbol special display stops in a relatively short time (for example, 1 second), and the predetermined display result is displayed as the variable display result. The small hit symbol (for example, “1” if the number of times of opening is 1, “2” if it is twice) is displayed. When the game state corresponding to the random number value is “out of”, the effect display of the effect display device 41 (so-called reach effect) is also started, and the effect display and the special symbol are displayed for a relatively long time (for example, 15 seconds). The variable display is stopped and a symbol (for example, “0”) is displayed as a variable display result. When the game state corresponding to the random number value is “big hit”, the effect display (so-called reach effect) of the effect display device 41 is also started, and the effect display and the special symbol are displayed for a relatively long time (for example, 15 seconds). The variable display is stopped, and as a variable display result, a jackpot symbol (for example, “7” for 15 round big hit, “3” for 2 round big hit) is displayed.

  In the special symbol variable display device 31, when variable display of the special symbol is stopped, from the game control board 81 that controls variable display of the special symbol as variable display execution information that can specify execution of variable display by the variable display means. As shown in FIG. 14, every time the special symbol variable display stops, one pulse of the special symbol confirmation signal is output and input to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 via the external relay board 86. .

  The second start winning opening 22 is provided with a pair of opening / closing members 23 and 23 that can change between a state in which a pachinko ball is easy to win and a state in which it is difficult to win. The open / close members 23, 23 correspond to the vertical symbol on which the pachinko ball is difficult to win by driving the solenoid 23a under the control of the game control board 81 in response to the variable display result of the normal symbol variable display device 32 being a winning symbol. By tilting from the state (the state of the dotted line shown in FIG. 3) to the outside with the lower end as a fulcrum until it becomes almost horizontal, the pachinko ball is in an open state in which it is easy to win (the state of the solid line shown in FIG. 3) for a predetermined time. After the elapse of time, the original vertical state is restored.

  The normal winning switch 24 a detects a pachinko ball that has been driven into the game area 12 and won in the normal winning port 24. When a pachinko ball is detected by the normal winning switch 24a, the game control board 81 that has recognized the detection via the switch relay board 83 commands the payout control board 82 to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls. The payout control board 82 commands the ball payout device 82a to pay out the prize ball, and the ball payout device 82a pays out the prize ball.

  The gate switch 26 a detects a pachinko ball that has been driven into the game area 12 and has passed through the passing gate 26. When the pachinko ball is detected by the gate switch 26a, the variable display of the normal symbol variable display device 32 is executed if the number of effective start passes that are held does not exceed a predetermined upper limit (for example, four). The start condition for being executed is established, the detection becomes an effective start passage, and the game control board 81 performs a lottery. In this lottery, “open” or “open” is performed at a predetermined probability (for example, 1: 1 in the normal gaming state, 9: 1 in the short-time state) when the opening and closing members 23 and 23 are opened. It is determined to be one of “out of”.

  The start condition established here (effective start passage) is stored and held in the game control board 81 together with the lottery result (winning or losing), and the number of the start conditions that are stored and held (so-called hold) The number of balls) is normally displayed on the symbol start memory LED 32a. When a pachinko ball that has won the passing gate 26 is detected by the gate switch 26a, if the number of effective startups held exceeds the upper limit, the starting condition is not satisfied, and the detection is invalid.

  The normal symbol start storage LED 32a stores the number of the start conditions held, in other words, the number of effective start passes used for variable display of the normal symbol variable display device 32, and four LEDs corresponding to the upper limit. Have In the normal symbol start memory LED 31a, the number of LEDs to be turned on increases by one each time the effective start passage is performed. Each time the effective start passage is used and variable display of the normal symbol variable display device 32 is started, the number of LEDs to be turned on decreases by one (that is, one LED is turned off).

  The normal symbol variable display device 32 variably displays normal symbols, each of which is a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified based on the detection of a pachinko ball by the gate switch 26a. The normal symbol is variably displayed based on the fact that the start condition is satisfied after the is established. Here, the start condition is that the variable display on the normal symbol variable display device 32 is ended. Therefore, the start condition is established even during the big hit state or during the bonus winning state, and variable display on the normal symbol variable display device 32 is started. The normal symbol is, for example, 10 numbers from 0 to 9.

  The normal symbol variable display device 32 is constituted by, for example, one 7-segment display, and when the start condition is satisfied, variable display is started by using one of the reserved start conditions, After a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds in the normal gaming state, 3 seconds in the short time state), the variable display stops, and the variable display result is derived and displayed according to the lottery result corresponding to the start condition. The Specifically, when the lottery result is “winning”, a winning symbol (for example, “7”) is displayed as the variable display result. Further, when the lottery result is “missing”, the symbol (eg “0”) is displayed as the variable display result.

  As described above, the variable winning device 40 includes the first state advantageous to the player (opening and closing pieces 42 and 42: see FIG. 5) and the second state disadvantageous to the player (opening and closing pieces). 42 and 42 are in a closed state (refer to FIG. 4), which is called a so-called second-type accessory. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, in this variable winning device 40, at the center, opening and closing pieces 42, 42, opening 43, distribution holes 44a, 44b, 44c, effect display device 41, mountain stage are arranged in order from the top. 64, a rotating body 70, a front stage 54, and a V winning opening 71 are provided. As shown mainly in FIG. 6, on the left side, a normal route guide path 51, a left distribution member 52, and a normal route discharge path are provided. 53, mainly as shown in FIG. 7, a chance route guiding path 61, a right distributing member 62, and a chance route discharging path 63 are provided on the right side, and the end of the chance route guiding path 61 is provided. A stopper 65 is provided (that is, before the mountain stage 64).

  Hereinafter, each component of the variable winning device 40 will be described. The effect display device 41 variably displays decorative symbols, each of which is a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified, and is variably displayed in conjunction with the special symbol variable display device 31, thereby allowing the player to Productions that are interesting are performed. The effect display device 41 has, for example, three variable display portions (symbol display areas) of “left”, “middle”, and “right”, and the decorative symbols are variably displayed on each variable display portion.

  The open / close pieces 42 and 42 are controlled by a game control board 81 that functions as a starting control means, which will be described later, in response to the variable display result of the special symbol variable display device 31 being a small hit symbol that is a predetermined display result. As shown in FIG. 4, when the solenoid 42a is driven, the pachinko ball is moved horizontally from the closed state where the pachinko ball does not win (that is, the second state) as shown in FIG. A starting operation is performed in which the opening state is easily performed (that is, the first state), and the original closed state is restored after a predetermined time (for example, 0.4 seconds). Here, when the number of times of opening corresponding to the random number value is 1, the starting operation is performed once. When the number of times of opening corresponding to the random number value is 2, the starting operation is 2 Performed once.

  The prize winning switch 43a detects a pachinko ball that has entered the variable winning device 40 from the opening 43 that appears when the open / close pieces 42, 42 are opened. When a pachinko ball is detected by the prize winning switch 43a, a variable winning device that can specify the entry of the pachinko ball into the variable winning device 40 from the game control board 81 that has recognized the detection via the switch relay board 83. As the entry information, as shown in FIG. 14, each time the detection is recognized, one pulse of a prize winning signal is output and is input to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 via the external relay board 86. The game control board 81 is instructed to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls to the payout control board 82, and the payout control board 82 is instructed to pay out the prize balls to the ball payout device 82a. Prize balls are paid out from the ball payout device 82a.

  The distribution holes 44 a, 44 b, 44 c are through holes for distributing the pachinko balls that have entered the variable winning device 40 from the opening 43 to either the normal route guide route 51 or the chance route guide route 61. Here, the left and right distribution holes 44 a and 44 c communicate with the normal route guiding path 51, and the distribution hole 44 b located at the center communicates with the chance route guiding path 61.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the normal route guiding path 51 is a path for guiding the pachinko balls that have entered from the distribution holes 44 a and 44 c to the front of the variable winning device 40. In the middle of the normal route guiding path 51, a left distributing member 52 that can move up and down is provided. This left distribution member 52 imitates the foot of a dinosaur. When a pachinko ball is detected by the prize winning switch 43a, the left sorting member 52 moves up and down by driving the solenoid 52a under the control of the game control board 81, thereby winning the prize. It stops after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed since the pachinko ball was detected by the switch 43a. Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the pachinko ball that has entered the normal route guide path 51 hits the left sorting member 52 while the left sorting member 52 is moving downward, the pachinko ball Falls to the normal route discharge path 53 located below the normal route guide path 51. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the pachinko ball that has entered the normal route guide path 51 passes through the left sorting member 52 while the left sorting member 52 is moving upward, the pachinko ball The ball is guided to the front stage 54 communicating with the end of the normal route guide path 51.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the chance route guiding path 61 is a passage for guiding the pachinko ball that has entered from the sorting hole 44 b to the center of the variable winning device 40. In the middle of the chance route guiding path 61, a right distributing member 62 that can move up and down is provided. This right distribution member 62 imitates the foot of a dinosaur. When a pachinko ball is detected by the prize winning switch 43a, the right sorting member 62 moves up and down by driving the solenoid 62a under the control of the game control board 81, thereby winning the prize. It stops after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed since the pachinko ball was detected by the switch 43a. As shown in FIG. 7B, when the pachinko ball that has entered the chance route guide path 61 hits the right sorting member 62 while the right sorting member 62 is moving downward, the pachinko ball Falls to the chance route discharge path 63 located below the chance route guide path 61. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the pachinko ball that has entered the chance route guiding path 61 passes through the right sorting member 62 while the right sorting member 62 is moving upward, the pachinko ball The ball is guided to the end of the chance route guiding path 61 having a U-shape.

  At the end of the chance route guiding path 61, a stopper 65 that can be projected and retracted from the bottom surface of the chance route guiding path 61 is provided. The stopper 65 sunk under the bottom surface by driving the solenoid 62a under the control of the game control board 81 after a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) has elapsed since the pachinko ball was detected by the accessory winning switch 43a. Return. Accordingly, the pachinko ball guided to the end of the chance route guiding path 61 is stopped by the stopper 65 below the bottom surface after a predetermined time has elapsed since it was detected by the prize winning switch 43a, so that the end of the chance route guiding path 61 is reached. Is led to a mountain stage 64 communicating with. Below the mountain stage 64, there is provided a rotating body 70 that always rotates counterclockwise in a horizontal plane. As shown in FIG. 8, the rotating body 70 is formed with one V hole 70a and seven off-holes 70b in the circumferential direction at an appropriate interval. Here, the arc portion of the shift hole 70b is closed, but the arc portion of the V hole 70a is open.

  As shown in FIG. 9, pachinko balls that have fallen to the normal route discharge path 53 and pachinko balls that have fallen to the chance route discharge path 63 are discharged from the variable winning device 40, detected by the accessory discharge switch 72a, and out. Led to the tank. Moreover, it is guided to the front stage 54, falls backward from the center of the front stage 54, is guided to the pachinko ball fitted in the release hole 70b of the rotating body 70, and the mountain stage 64, and falls on the slope of the mountain stage 64. Then, the pachinko ball fitted in the disengagement hole 70b of the rotating body 70 is guided to the discharge port 72 by the rotating body 70 rotating in the counterclockwise direction, is discharged from the variable winning device 40, and is detected by the accessory discharge switch 72a. And led to the out tank.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 10, a pachinko ball that is guided from the normal route guide path 51 to the front stage 54, falls backward from the center of the front stage 54, and fits in the V hole 70a of the rotating body 70 is variable. The prize winning device 40 wins a V winning opening 71 which is an example of a specific area among a plurality of areas, and after being detected by the V winning switch 71a, it is detected by the accessory discharge switch 72a and is placed in the out tank. Led. In other words, the ball guided from the normal route guide path 51 to the front stage 54 does not win the V winning opening 71 unless it fits into one V hole 70a of the eight holes formed in the rotating body 70. The route from the normal route guide path 51 to the front stage 54 is a disadvantageous route in which the pachinko ball is difficult to enter the specific area. The time until the pachinko ball led to this disadvantageous route wins the V winning opening 71 is about 2 to 3 seconds after the pachinko ball is detected by the accessory winning switch 43a.

  Further, the pachinko ball that is guided from the chance route guide path 61 to the mountain stage 64 and falls on the slope of the mountain stage 64 and does not fit in the separation hole 70b of the rotating body 70 (that is, fits in the V hole 70a or the separation hole). The pachinko balls that have passed between 70b or fitted in the detaching hole 70b but jumped forward due to the momentum of falling enter a V winning opening 71, which is an example of a specific area, and are detected by the V winning switch 71a. After that, it is detected by the accessory discharge switch 72a and led to the out tank. In other words, the pachinko ball guided from the chance route guiding path 61 to the mountain stage 64 is highly likely to win the V winning opening 71 with the momentum of falling down the slope of the mountain stage 64. The route to 64 is an advantageous route that allows the pachinko ball to easily enter a specific area. The time until the pachinko ball led to this advantageous route wins the V winning opening 71 is the time from when the pachinko ball is detected by the accessory winning switch 43a until the stopper 65 is released, 3 seconds + About 2 to 3 seconds = about 5 to 6 seconds, which is the time required for the pachinko balls to reach the V prize opening 71 from the mountain stage 64.

  When the pachinko ball is detected by the V winning switch 71a, a lottery is performed by the game control board 81 (S29 in FIG. 11). In this lottery, with a predetermined probability (for example, 1: 1: 1), the number of times the open / close plate 76 is opened is 15 rounds, 15 rounds, 7 rounds, 7 rounds, or 2 rounds, 2 rounds. Decide on either. In the normal gaming state, it is determined whether or not a 15-round big hit is accompanied by a short-time state with a predetermined probability (for example, 1: 4). For all 2 round jackpots, it is decided to involve a short-time state.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the jackpot variable winning device 75 is provided with an open / close plate 76 that is in a closed state so that the pachinko ball does not win the big winning port 77 in the normal game state and the short time state. The opening / closing plate 76 is either a first specific gaming state (second type big hit = V winning big hit) or a second specific gaming state (first type big hit =) by a game control board 81 that functions as a specific gaming state control means described later. When controlled by the control of the game control board 81, the pachinko ball is opened from the closed state where the prize cannot be won, and is opened until it becomes substantially horizontal forward with the lower end as a fulcrum, The pachinko ball is in an open state in which a prize can be won, and is closed once a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed since the opening, or when a predetermined number (for example, ten) of pachinko balls have entered the big prize opening 77. Opening and closing is repeated until one round ends and the number of rounds corresponding to the random number value or the number of rounds determined by the lottery elapses.

  The big prize switch 77a detects a pachinko ball that won the big prize port 77. When a pachinko ball is detected by the big winning switch 77a, the game control board 81 which has recognized the detection via the switch relay board 83 commands the payout control board 82 to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls. The payout control board 82 commands the ball payout device 82a to pay out the prize ball, and the ball payout device 82a pays out the prize ball.

  Returning to FIG. 2, each of the game control board 81, the payout control board 82, the switch relay board 83, the symbol relay board 84, the effect control board 85, and the external relay board 86 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an EEPROM, and the like. It is installed and performs various controls.

  Here, the game control board 81 is an example of a start control means, and the variable display device 40 is placed in the second state (in response to the variable symbol display result of the special symbol being the small hit symbol which is the predetermined display result). A start operation for changing from the state in which the open / close pieces 42, 42 are closed (see FIG. 4) to the first state is executed, specifically, the start operation for the number of times of opening corresponding to the random number value. Is commanded to the solenoid 42a via the switch relay board 83. When a start operation is executed by the start control means, a 1-pulse accessory release signal is output each time the start operation is executed as start operation execution information that can specify the execution of the start operation. The signal is input to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 via the substrate 86.

  The game control board 81 is an example of a specific game state control means. The game control board 81 controls the first specific game state (second type big hit = V winning big hit) and the second specific game state (first type). Big hit = direct hit big hit), specifically, the opening / closing of the open / close plate 76 of the number of rounds corresponding to the random number value or the number of rounds determined by the lottery is controlled via the switch relay board 83 Command to 76a. That is, the first specific game state is a plurality of types of first specific game states having different periods from the occurrence of the first specific game state to the end (here, 15 round big hit, 7 round big hit, and 2 round big hit) The second specific gaming state also includes a plurality of types of second specific gaming states (here, 15 round jackpots and 2 round jackpots) having different periods from the occurrence of the second specific gaming state to the end thereof. Including.

  A specific game state for specifying the occurrence of the first specific game state or the second specific game state when controlled by the specific game state control means to the first specific game state or the second specific game state As the specific information, as shown in FIG. 14, a continuous jackpot signal is output during the period from the occurrence of the specific gaming state to the end, and is input to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 via the external relay board 86. Is done. In other words, the big hit signal is the same status signal (that is, the first type big hit or the second type) transmitted through the same signal line (the same signal output unit) in both the direct hit big hit and the V winning big hit. Common signal for identifying the occurrence of jackpots). The jackpot signal is also specific game state specifying information that can specify the occurrence and end of a specific game state.

  Further, the game control board 81 is an example of a special game state control means, and controls the special game state (time-short state). Specifically, after the specific game state ends, as described above, Special symbol variable display for shortening the variable display time of the symbol variable display device 32, improving the probability that the variable display result of the normal symbol variable display device 32 is determined as a winning symbol, and extending the opening time of the opening and closing members 23 and 23. It is executed until the variable display result of the device 31 is derived and displayed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) or until the next specific gaming state occurs. In addition, as mentioned above, when the next specific gaming state occurs in the short-time state, V winning big hit (all of 15 round big hit, 7 round big hit and 2 round big hit), or 15 round direct hit big hit occurs Since the new time-short state associated with these jackpots is controlled, the time-short state is substantially continued. In other words, if a two-round direct hit big hit occurs as the next specific gaming state in the short time state, the new short time state associated with the big hit is not controlled, so the short time state ends. .

  When the specific gaming state control means controls the big hit state without the time reduction state, as shown in FIG. 14, the continuous big hit signal and the big hit / time reduction signal in the period from the occurrence of the big hit state to the end. Is output. On the other hand, when the specific gaming state control means is controlled to a big hit state with a short time state, a continuous big hit signal is output in a period from the occurrence of the big hit state to the end, and the occurrence of the big hit state from the occurrence of the big hit state A continuous big hit / short time signal is output during the period until the end of the short time state. As a result, it is possible to identify the period when the big hit / short time signal is output but the big hit signal is not output as being in the short time state. It is information in the special gaming state that can specify that it is. In other words, when controlled to a big hit state with a short-time state, a big hit / short time signal is output together with the big hit signal, and the output of the big hit signal is stopped while the output of the big hit signal is stopped after the big hit state ends. Thus, it is possible to specify that the time reduction state is in effect, and when the time reduction state ends, the output of the big hit / time reduction signal is stopped.

  The game control board 81 outputs a 1-pulse payout signal every time 10 prize balls are paid out as information that can specify the number of payout balls, which is the number of prize balls paid out from the ball payout device 82a. Then, the signal is input to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 via the external relay board 86.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 11, the game control performed by the game control board 81 of the pachinko machine 10 will be described. The game control board 81 always performs the start winning prize monitoring control shown in FIG. 11A and the special symbol variable display control shown in FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 11A, the game control board 81 that performs the start winning monitoring control waits for detection of a pachinko ball by the first start winning switch 21a or the second start winning switch 22a (S11). If it is determined in S11 that there is a pachinko ball detected by the first start winning switch 21a or the second starting winning switch 22a (YES), the first start winning signal or the second start winning signal is sent to the external relay board 86. Is output to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 (S12), and it is determined whether or not the effective start winning hold memory, which is the starting condition for variably displaying the special symbol, exceeds the upper limit of 4 (S13). ) If the upper limit is exceeded (YES), the winning at S11 is regarded as an invalid prize, and the process returns to S11. If the upper limit is not exceeded (NO), the winning at S11 is regarded as an effective starting prize, and a plurality of random values One random number value is extracted from the inside (S14), the effective starting prize and the extracted random number value are stored on hold (S15), and the process returns to S11.

  Next, the game control board 81 performing the special symbol variable display control determines whether or not there is an effective start winning holding memory which is a starting condition for variably displaying the special symbol (S16). When the hold storage is performed in S15, it is determined that there is a hold storage in S16 (YES), that is, it is determined that the start condition for variably displaying the special symbol is satisfied. It is determined whether the control is in the middle, big hit state, or in the prize winning state (that is, until the pachinko ball detected by the prize winning switch 43a is detected by the bonus discharge switch 72a) ( S17) If it is either (YES), it is determined that the start condition for variably displaying the special symbol is not satisfied, and the process returns to S16. If not (NO), the start condition for variably displaying the special symbol is satisfied. As a result, the special symbol variable display based on the reserved memory is started (S18), and it is determined whether or not the gaming state corresponding to the random number value in the reserved memory is a small hit (S19).

  If it is determined in S19 that the gaming state is a small hit (YES), the variable symbol display result of the special symbol is accompanied by the suspension of the variable symbol special symbol display after a predetermined time (1 second) has elapsed. Then, a small symbol corresponding to the small bonus is derived and displayed (S20), and a special symbol confirmation signal is output from the external relay board 86 to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 (S21). According to the function, the opening / closing pieces 42 and 42 are started (opening / closing) (S22), and an accessory release signal is output from the external relay board 86 to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 (S23). It is determined whether or not a pachinko ball is detected by the winning switch 43a (S24).

  If it is determined in S24 that there is no pachinko ball detected by the prize winning switch 43a (NO), the process returns to S16. On the other hand, if it is determined in S24 that the pachinko ball is detected by the prize winning switch 43a (YES), the prize winning signal is output from the external relay board 86 to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100. (S26) Waiting for detection of a pachinko ball by the V winning switch 71a (S26) or detection of a pachinko ball by the accessory discharge switch 72a (S27). If it is determined in S27 that there is a pachinko ball detected by the accessory discharge switch 72a (YES), the process returns to S16.

  If it is determined that the pachinko ball is detected by the V winning switch 71a in S26 (YES), the pachinko ball is detected by the accessory discharge switch 72a (S28), and the pachinko ball is detected by the accessory discharge switch 72a. Is detected (YES), the type of V winning big win is determined as one of 15 round big hits, 7 round big hits, or 2 round big wins by the lottery (S29), and by the function as the specific gaming state control means, While controlling the determined type of V winning jackpot (S30), the jackpot signal and the jackpot / time signal are output from the external relay board 86 to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 (S31). Waiting for the end of the big hit (S32), when the V winning big hit is finished (YES), the output of the big hit signal is stopped (S3 ), And returns to S16.

  Note that if the V winning big hit that is not accompanied by the short time state is controlled in S30, the output of the big hit / short time signal is also stopped in S33. On the other hand, when the V winning big win with time-saving state is controlled in S30, the output of the big hit / time-short signal is not stopped in S33, and it is controlled to the time-saving state by the function as the special gaming state control means.

  If it is determined in S19 that the gaming state corresponding to the random value is not a small hit (NO), it is determined whether or not the gaming state corresponding to the random value is out of place (S34). If it is determined in S34 that the gaming state is out of place (YES), control for effect display (reach effect) is performed on the effect display device 41 (S35), and after a predetermined time (15 seconds) has elapsed. Along with the stop of the special symbol variable display and the end of the effect display, as a result of the variable symbol variable display, the outlier corresponding to the dislocation is derived and displayed (S36), and the special symbol confirmation signal is sent to the external relay board 86. Is output to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 (S37), and the process returns to S16.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S34 that the gaming state is not out of order (NO), that is, it is determined that the gaming state corresponding to the random number value is a big hit, control for effect display (reach effect) is performed on the effect display device 41. Performing (S38), with the stop of variable display of the special symbol after the lapse of a predetermined time (15 seconds) and the end of the effect display, the jackpot symbol corresponding to the jackpot is derived and displayed as the variable display result of the special symbol. (S39), a special symbol confirmation signal is output from the external relay board 86 to the signal input unit 101 of the calling lamp device 100 (S40), and a function corresponding to the random number value is selected by the function as the specific gaming state control means. The direct hit jackpot (15 round jackpot or 2 round jackpot) is controlled (S41), and the jackpot signal and the jackpot / time signal are sent from the external relay board 86 to the calling lamp device. 00 is output to the signal input unit 101 (S42), waits for the end of the direct hit big hit (S43), and when the direct hit big hit ends (YES), the output of the big hit signal is stopped (S44) and the process returns to S16. .

  In S41, when the direct hit big hit (that is, two round big hit) without the time-short state is controlled, the output of the big hit / time-short signal is also stopped in S44. On the other hand, if the direct hit big hit with the short-time state is controlled in S41 (that is, the big hit of 15 rounds), the output of the big hit / short-time signal is not stopped in S44, and the short-time state is achieved by the function as the special game state control means. To be controlled.

  Although not displayed in the flowchart shown in FIG. 11, when a pachinko ball is detected by the gate switch 26a, it is determined whether or not the reserved memory for effective start detection, which is a normal symbol start condition, exceeds the upper limit of 4. If the upper limit is exceeded, the detection by the gate switch 26a is determined as invalid detection, and if the upper limit is not exceeded, the detection by the gate switch 26a is determined as effective start detection, which is determined to be either win or miss by the lottery. Then, the effective start detection and the lottery result are stored on hold.

  When the hold storage is performed, it is determined that there is a hold storage, that is, the normal symbol start condition is satisfied. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the variable display by the normal symbol variable display device 32 is being performed. If it is being displayed, the normal symbol start condition is not satisfied, and the end of variable display is waited. If it is not variable display, if the normal symbol start condition is satisfied, the normal symbol start condition is satisfied. The normal symbol variable display is started, and when the normal symbol variable display stops after a predetermined time (30 seconds in the normal game state, 3 seconds in the short time state) has elapsed, the variable of the normal symbol is changed. As a display result, a winning symbol or an off symbol corresponding to the lottery result is derived and displayed. When the winning symbol is displayed, a start operation (that is, opening and closing of the opening and closing members 23 and 23) is executed by a function as a start control means. To do.

  During the short time state, the function as the special gaming state control means shortens the variable display time of the normal symbol variable display device 32 and determines the variable display result of the normal symbol variable display device 32 as the winning symbol. Since the probability is improved, the start operation is frequently performed, and the opening time of the opening and closing members 23 and 23 is extended, so that the frequency of the pachinko balls entering the second start winning opening 22 is improved.

The call button 108 receives an operation to call a store clerk at the game hall. When the call button 108 is operated, a call lamp 109 is emitted by the control of the control unit 102 and the player calls the store clerk. It is notified that it is.

  The signal input unit 101 is an example of a receiving unit, and receives various signals output from the pachinko machine 10 connected to the signal input unit 101. As shown in FIG. Terminals for receiving a first start winning signal, a second starting winning signal, a special symbol confirmation signal, an accessory release signal, an accessory winning signal, a big hit signal, a big hit / short time signal, and a payout signal are provided. Among the signals input to the signal input unit 101, a signal used for recognition in the specific gaming state occurrence recognition means described later is a start winning signal that is start detection information or a special symbol confirmation signal that is variable display execution information. , Starting action execution information or bonus winning device entry information, winning game winning signal, special game status specifying information jackpot signal, special gaming status information jackpot signal and jackpot / short time signal No.

  The control unit 102 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an EEPROM, and the like, and each processing element stored in the ROM or the EEPROM is executed by the CPU using the RAM as a work area, whereby each component included in the calling lamp device 100 is provided. The various operations are performed by controlling the operation.

  In this control unit 102, in the RAM which is a volatile storage means, the number of reception of the special symbol determination signal is counted as the current start count, and the total value of the current start count is reset when the reception of the jackpot signal is finished. Is done. The current start number is displayed in the start number display area 104a of the display 104. In addition, the control unit 102 stores the game-related information DB shown in FIG. 13 in the EEPROM which is a non-volatile storage means, and the game-related information DB includes various game-related information as shown in FIG. A jackpot number DB that stores information and the number of occurrences of jackpots, and a jackpot number DB that stores a jackpot occurrence history are stored as shown in FIG.

  First, in the jackpot number DB shown in FIG. 13A, various game-related information (the number of balls to be thrown in, the number of balls to be paid out, the number of difference balls, the number of first start wins, 2nd start winning number, start number), number of occurrences of direct hit big hit (total number, round 15 big hit, round 2 big hit, time short, non-short time medium, with short time, no short time) and V winning big hit The number of occurrences (total number, advantageous route, disadvantageous route, round 15 big hit, round 7 big hit, round 2 big hit, number of occurrences of short time, non-short time medium, with short time, without short time) today, the day before, and the day before It is memorized for 3 days. The contents of the jackpot number DB are updated at the timing described below the table, which will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In the big hit history DB shown in FIG. 13B, the occurrence time, type (whether the big hit is a direct hit big hit or a V winning big hit), the number of start times, in association with the number of occurrence of the big hit. (Start count from previous big hit to current big hit = current start count stored in RAM), short time (whether or not the big hit is a big hit that occurred during the short time state), continuous number of times, route ( If the jackpot is a V-winning jackpot, whether the route that generated the V-winning jackpot is an advantageous route or an unfavorable route), the number of rounds (the number of rounds per jackpot is 15, 7, or 2 rounds) And the number of difference balls (the number of payout balls in the big hit-the number of shot balls) are stored. The contents of the jackpot history DB are also updated at the timing described below the table, which will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Here, the control unit 102 is an example of a game-related information counting unit, and tabulates game-related information for each pachinko machine 10 based on a signal received by the signal input unit 101 from each pachinko machine 10. Specifically, the values calculated by the formula of the number of received signals received × 10 are tabulated as the number of shot balls, and the values calculated by the formula of the number of received signals × 10 are tabulated as the number of payout balls. , The value calculated by the equation of the number of payout balls−the number of balls to be thrown in is counted as a difference ball number, the number of reception of the first start winning signal is totaled as the number of first start winning signals, and the number of reception of the second start winning signal Are counted as the second start winning number, and the number of reception of the special symbol confirmation signal is counted as the start number. The number of shot balls, the number of balls to be paid out, and the number of balls to be dispensed are the total values in the normal gaming state, the big hit state, and the short-time state, and the values in the normal gaming state (ie, the big hit signal and the big hit / The value based on each signal received during the period when the time-short signal is not input) and the value in the big hit state are aggregated. The first start winning number, the second starting winning number, and the start number are summed up as a whole value and a value in a normal state.

  Further, the control unit 102 is an example of a specific gaming state occurrence recognition means, and as shown in FIG. 14, start operation execution information or variable winning device entry information (here, a prize winning signal that is variable winning device entry information). After receiving the start detection information or the variable display execution information (here, the special symbol confirmation signal that is the variable display execution information), without receiving the specific gaming state specific information (here the jackpot signal), It is recognized that the first specific gaming state (type 2 big win = V prize big win) has occurred, and after receiving the start detection information or variable display execution information (ie, special symbol confirmation signal), the start operation execution information or variable prize Based on the fact that the specific game state specifying information (ie, jackpot signal) has been received without receiving the device entry information (ie, the prize winning signal), the second specific game state (the first type large) Ri = is intended to recognize that hit big hit) occurs. The control unit 102 is an example of a specific gaming state occurrence count counting unit, and the first specific gaming state is based on the fact that the first specific gaming state has been recognized by the specific gaming state occurrence recognition unit. The number of occurrences of the state is totaled, and the number of occurrences of the second specific gaming state is totaled based on the recognition that the second specific gaming state has occurred.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), after the special symbol confirmation signal * 00 is received, the opening / closing pieces 42 and 42 are started when the special symbol of * 00 is a small hit symbol. If the special symbol confirmation signal * 10 is received without receiving the jackpot signal after receiving the bonus game signal * 01 based on the detection of the pachinko ball by the bonus game winning switch 43a, Although it is not recognized that it has occurred, if the big hit signal * 12 is received without receiving the prize winning signal after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 10, a direct hit big hit has occurred (that is, the big hit signal * 12 is , The special symbol of * 10 is a jackpot symbol, which is a jackpot signal based on the direct hit jackpot control being performed). Based on the recognition, the total number of occurrences of the direct hit jackpot is added by adding 1 to the total number. Similarly, if the big hit signal * 22 is received without receiving the bonus winning signal after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 20, a direct hit big hit has occurred (that is, the big hit signal * 22 is It is recognized that the special symbol is a jackpot symbol, which is a jackpot signal based on the direct hit jackpot control being performed). Based on the recognition, the total number of occurrences of the direct hit jackpot is added by adding 1 to the total number.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 14B, after the special symbol confirmation signal * 10 is received, the opening and closing pieces 42 and 42 are started by the special symbol of * 10 being a small hit symbol, and a prize is awarded. When the winning combination signal * 11 based on the detection of the pachinko ball by the switch 43a is received, and the big winning signal is received without receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 12, the V winning big hit is generated (that is, the It is recognized that the jackpot signal * 12 is a jackpot signal based on the fact that the pachinko ball detected at * 11 wins the V winning slot 71). Based on the recognition, the total number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot is added by adding 1 to the total number. Similarly, after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 20, when the special symbol of * 20 is a small hit symbol, the opening and closing pieces 42 and 42 are started, and the accessory winning switch 43a detects a pachinko ball. If the bonus winning signal * 21 is received without receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 22 based on the fact that the V winning big hit has occurred (that is, the jackpot signal * 22 is It is recognized that the pachinko ball detected at 21 is a jackpot signal based on winning in the V winning opening 71). Based on the recognition, the total number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot is added by adding 1 to the total number.

  Further, the control unit 102 functioning as a specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means, for the first specific gaming state (the second type big hit = V winning big hit), from the occurrence of the V winning big hit determined from the received big hit signal to the end. Recognize the V winning jackpot type (15 round jackpot, 7 round jackpot, or 2 round jackpot) based on the period of the jackpot (the jackpot period in which the jackpot signal is input), and function as a means for counting the number of occurrences of a specific gaming state The control unit 102 sums up the number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot for each type recognized by the specific gaming state occurrence recognition means.

  Specifically, the shortest time for digesting one round (that is, about 20 seconds for 10 pachinko balls to win the big prize opening 76) and the longest time (that is, after the opening / closing plate 77 is opened). Calculated based on the time until closing (30 seconds), the shortest time to digest 15 round jackpots to the longest time (300 to 450 seconds here), the shortest time to digest 7 rounds jackpot 2 of the longest time (here 140-210 seconds) and the shortest time to digest 2 round jackpots-the longest time (here 40-60 seconds) (here 300-450 seconds and 140- 210 seconds) is preset as a criterion. At the end of receiving the jackpot signal, if the jackpot period is 300 to 450 seconds, it is recognized as 15 round jackpots, if the jackpot period is 140 to 210 seconds, it is recognized as 7 round jackpots, and the jackpot period is other than those criteria. If so, it is recognized as 2 rounds.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 14B, for the V winning jackpot based on the jackpot signal * 12, the V winning jackpot period is 300 to 450 seconds, so the V winning jackpot is recognized as a 15 round jackpot. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences for the V winning big win is counted by adding 1 to the number of occurrences for the 15 round big hit. In addition, for the V winning jackpot based on the jackpot signal * 22, the jackpot period of the V winning jackpot is 140 to 210 seconds, so the V winning jackpot is recognized as a seven round jackpot. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences for the 7th round jackpot is counted by adding 1 to the number of occurrences for the 7th round jackpot.

  Similarly, the control unit 102 functioning as a specific gaming state occurrence recognition means, for the second specific gaming state (first type big hit = direct hit big hit), from the occurrence of the direct hit big hit specified from the received big hit signal to the end. The control unit 102 that recognizes the type of direct hit jackpot (15 round jackpot or 2 round jackpot) and functions as the specific gaming state occurrence count counting means is recognized by the specific gaming state occurrence recognition means. For each type, the number of occurrences per hit hit is counted.

  Specifically, the shortest time for digesting one round (that is, about 20 seconds for 10 pachinko balls to win the big prize opening 76) and the longest time (that is, after the opening / closing plate 77 is opened). The shortest time to digest 15 round jackpots to the longest time (here 300 to 450 seconds), and the shortest time to digest 2 round jackpots, calculated based on the time until closure (30 seconds) One of the time to the longest time (here, 40 to 60 seconds) (here, 300 to 450 seconds) is preset as a criterion. At the end of receiving the jackpot signal, if the jackpot period is 300 to 450 seconds, it is recognized as 15 rounds jackpot, and if the jackpot period is other than the determination criteria, it is recognized as two rounds.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 14A, for the direct hit big hit based on the big hit signal * 12, since the big hit period of the direct hit big hit is 300 to 450 seconds, the direct hit big hit is recognized as 15 rounds big hit. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences of direct hit jackpots is counted by adding 1 to the number of occurrences of jackpots of 15 rounds. In addition, for the direct hit big hit based on the big hit signal * 22, the hit big hit period of the direct hit big hit is not a criterion, so the direct hit big hit is recognized as a two round big hit. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences of the big hit of the direct hit is counted by adding 1 to the number of occurrences of the big hit of the second round.

  Further, the control unit 102 functioning as the specific game state occurrence recognizing means for the first specific game state (second type big hit = V winning big hit) starts operation execution information or variable winning device entry information (here, variable winning device entry) Based on the time from the reception of the information item winning award signal) to the reception of the jackpot signal, the first specific gaming state is an advantageous route (chance route guiding route 61 and mountain stage 64) or an unfavorable route (normal route). Recognizing whether the pachinko ball has entered the V winning opening 71 by the route of the guide path 51 and the front stage 54), the number of occurrences of the specific game state is counted. The control unit 102 functioning as a means adds up the number of occurrences of the first specific gaming state for each route recognized by the specific gaming state occurrence recognition unit.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of this embodiment, the pachinko balls guided to the advantageous route are dammed by the stopper 65, so that the time until the pachinko balls enter the V winning opening 71 is about 5-6 as described above. On the other hand, since the pachinko ball led to the disadvantageous route is not dammed on the way, the time until the pachinko ball enters the V winning opening 71 is about 2 to 3 seconds as described above. is there. Therefore, the control unit 102 here functions as a clocking unit that starts timing based on the reception of the prize winning signal, and the control unit 102 that functions as the specific gaming state occurrence recognition unit receives the jackpot signal. In addition, on the condition that the time measured by the time measuring means does not reach a predetermined time, it is recognized that a V winning jackpot has occurred due to an unfavorable route, and the time measured has reached the predetermined time. As a result, it is recognized that a V winning jackpot has occurred due to an advantageous route.

  Here, the predetermined time is longer than about 3 seconds, which is the longest time until the pachinko ball led to the disadvantageous route enters the V winning opening 71, and the pachinko ball led to the advantageous route enters the V winning opening 71. A time shorter than about 5 seconds, which is the shortest time to enter, is set, and in this example, it is set to 4 seconds. In this way, the predetermined time is set to a time longer than 3 seconds and shorter than 5 seconds. If the predetermined time is set shorter than 3 seconds, the time measurement is true even if it is a V winning prize winning due to a disadvantageous route. If the time has reached the predetermined time, it will be recognized that the V winning jackpot has been generated by the advantageous route. On the other hand, if the predetermined time is set to be longer than 5 seconds, the V winning jackpot by the advantageous route is not actually achieved. However, if the measured time has not reached the predetermined time, it is recognized that a V winning jackpot has occurred due to an unfavorable route. The predetermined time is set in the hall computer 120, and the set value is transmitted to the calling lamp device 100, so that it is stored and set in the control unit 102 of the calling lamp device 100.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14B, for the V winning jackpot based on the jackpot signal * 12, the timing t when the timing is started based on the reception of the bonus winning signal * 11 is 4 seconds. Since this is the above (that is, the predetermined time has been reached), it is recognized that the V winning jackpot is generated by an advantageous route. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences of the advantageous route is counted by adding 1 to the number of occurrences of the advantageous route out of the number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot. Further, for the V winning big win based on the jackpot signal * 22, the time t when the timing is started based on the reception of the bonus winning signal * 21 is less than 4 seconds (that is, the predetermined time has not been reached). Recognize that the winning jackpot was caused by an unfavorable route. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences of the disadvantageous route out of the number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot is added up to 1.

  Further, the control unit 102 functioning as a specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means, based on the received special gaming state information (here, the big hit signal and the big hit / short time signal), the first specific gaming state (the second type big hit = Whether the V winning big hit) and the second specific game state (type 1 big hit = direct hit big hit) occurred during the time-short state (that is, the big hit not receiving the big hit signal / receiving the short time signal) The control unit 102 that functions as a specific gaming state occurrence count totaling unit recognizes the first specific gaming state and the second specific gaming state that occurred during the short time state recognized by the specific gaming state occurrence recognition unit. The number of occurrences of

  Also, the control unit 102 functioning as a specific gaming state occurrence count totaling unit, based on the special gaming state information (here, the big hit signal and the big hit / short time signal) received by the signal input unit 101, the first specific gaming state. Occurs in the normal gaming state (that is, the non-short-time state) that is neither the second type big hit = V winning big hit, the second specific gaming state (first-type big hit = direct hit big hit), or the special gaming state (short-time state) The number of occurrences of the first specific game state and the second specific game state that have occurred from the first specific game state or the second specific game state with the special game state to the next normal game state (that is, Count the number of consecutive chunks).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), for the direct hit jackpot based on the jackpot signal * 12, since the jackpot signal * 12 is not received during the short-time state, the direct hit jackpot is in a non-short-time state ( That is, it is recognized that it occurred in the normal gaming state. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences of direct hit big hits is counted by adding 1 to the number of occurrences during non-time savings, and 1 is stored as the number of consecutive changes. Also, for the direct hit big hit based on the big hit signal * 22, since the big hit signal * 22 is received during the short-time state, the direct hit big hit occurs during the short-time state (that is, until the next normal gaming state is reached). recognize. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences of direct hit jackpots is counted by adding 1 to the number of occurrences during the short time and is counted by adding 1 to the number of consecutive changes.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, for the V winning big win based on the big hit signal * 12, since the big hit signal * 12 is not received in the short time state, the V winning big hit is in the non-short time state (that is, Recognize that it occurred in the normal gaming state. Based on this recognition, out of the number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot, the number of occurrences during the non-time saving is added up to 1, and 1 is stored as the number of consecutive chunks. Also, for the V winning big win based on the big hit signal * 22, since the big hit signal * 22 is received during the time-short state, the V winning big hit is generated during the short time state (that is, until the next normal gaming state is reached). We recognize that we did. Based on this recognition, out of the number of occurrences of V winning big hit, the total is calculated by adding 1 to the number of occurrences during the short time, and is totaled by adding 1 to the number of consecutive chants.

  That is, as for the number of consecutive chunks, when a big hit signal is received during the non-short-time state, 1 is stored as the number of consecutive big hits in the big-hit history DB shown in FIG. When a signal is received, 1 is added to the number of consecutive big hit consecutive chunks in the big hit history DB, and 2 is stored as the number of consecutive big hit consecutive chunks. Therefore, when a big hit with a short-time state occurs and the next big hit occurs during the short-time state, the big hit is a continuous change, and the number of consecutive change is added, but the short-time state ends. In this case, the big hit consecutive chunk has ended, and when the next big hit occurs (that is, when a big hit signal is received during a non-time-short state), the number of consecutive big hits is 1 Will be memorized. Also, if the big hit that occurred during the time-short state does not accompany the time-short state (in this example, if a direct hit big hit of two rounds occurred during the time-short state), the big hit consecutive Chang has ended, When the next big hit occurs (that is, when a big hit signal is received during a non-time-short state), 1 is stored as the number of consecutive big hits.

  Further, the control unit 102 functioning as a specific gaming state occurrence recognition means, based on the received special gaming state information (here, the big hit signal and the big hit / short time signal), the first specific gaming state (second type big hit = The control unit 102 that recognizes whether or not the V winning big hit) and the second specific gaming state (type 1 big hit = direct hit big hit) are accompanied by a short-time state, and functions as a specific gaming state occurrence number counting means, The number of occurrences of the first specific game state and the second specific game state accompanied by the short time state recognized by the specific game state occurrence recognition means is tabulated.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14A, for the direct hit big hit based on the big hit signal * 12, when the big hit signal * 12 is not received (that is, when it falls), the big hit / short time signal Therefore, it is recognized that the direct hit jackpot is accompanied by a short time state. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences with a short time out of the number of occurrences of the direct hit jackpot is added by adding 1 to the number. For the direct hit big hit based on the big hit signal * 22, since the big hit signal * 22 is not received and at the same time, no big hit / short time signal is received, it is recognized that the direct hit big hit is not accompanied by a short time state. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences of direct hit jackpot is counted by adding 1 to the number of occurrences without time reduction.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, for the V winning big win based on the big hit signal * 12, when the big hit signal * 12 is not received (that is, when it falls), the big hit / short time signal is received. Therefore, it is recognized that the V winning jackpot is accompanied by a short time state. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences with a short time out of the number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot is added to add 1. Also, with respect to the V winning big hit based on the big hit signal * 22, when the big hit signal * 22 is not received, the big hit / short time signal is received. Based on the recognition, the number of occurrences with a short time out of the number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot is added to add 1.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 15, the jackpot count totaling process performed by the control unit 102 of the calling lamp device 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. First, the control unit 102 waits for the reception of a jackpot signal (S101) or the reception of an accessory prize signal (S102). Since there is no special symbol determination signal, the reception of the special symbol determination signal is awaited. When the special symbol determination signal is received, the reception of the jackpot signal or the reception of the bonus winning signal is awaited.

  If there is a jackpot signal received in S101 (YES), after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal, it means that the jackpot signal has been received without receiving the prize winning signal, so recognize the occurrence of the direct hit jackpot, In the big hit number DB, 1 is added to the total number of direct hit big hits, and in the big hit history DB, it is associated with the big hit number which is the sum of the total number of direct hit big hits and the total number of V winning big hits after the addition. The big hit occurrence time, the big hit type (here, direct hit), and the current start count stored in the RAM are stored (S111), and the process proceeds to S121.

  In S121, it is determined whether or not the direct hit big hit recognized in S111 is a direct hit big hit that occurred during the short-time state, based on whether or not the big hit signal in S101 was received during the short-time state. If it is determined in S121 that the big hit signal has been received during the short time state (YES), it is recognized that the direct hit big hit has occurred during the short time state, and the number of occurrences of the direct hit big hit in the big hit number DB Among them, add 1 to the number of occurrences during the time savings and tabulate, and in the jackpot history DB, store ○ in the column for the time savings of the jackpot and add 1 to the number of consecutive hits of the previous jackpot The number of consecutive big hits is stored (S122), and the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, if it is determined in S121 that the big hit signal has not been received during the short-time state (NO), it is recognized that the direct hit big hit has not occurred during the short-time state, and the direct hit big hit number DB Of the number of occurrences, 1 is added to the number of occurrences during non-time savings and tabulated, and 1 is stored as the number of consecutive big hits in the big hit history DB (S123), and the process proceeds to S130. According to this, the number of occurrences of the direct hit big hit that occurred during the short-time state can be totaled.

  In S130, the reception of the jackpot signal is waited for (falling), and when the reception of the jackpot signal ends (YES), the jackpot period in which the jackpot signal of the direct hit jackpot recognized in S111 is input is the determination criterion 300. It is determined whether it is ˜450 seconds (S131). When it is determined in S131 that the jackpot period is 300 to 450 seconds (YES), it is recognized that the direct hit jackpot is 15 round jackpots, and in the jackpot count DB, of the number of occurrences of the direct hit jackpot, In addition to adding 1 to the number of occurrences of the big jackpot, the jackpot history DB stores the number of rounds of the jackpot as 15 rounds, and stores the number of difference balls in the jackpot (S132). move on. On the other hand, if it is determined in S131 that the big hit period is not 300 to 450 seconds (NO), the direct hit big hit is recognized as two round big hits, and in the big hit number DB, In addition to adding 1 to the number of occurrences of two rounds of jackpot, the jackpot history DB stores the number of rounds of the jackpot as 2 rounds, and stores the number of difference balls in the jackpot (S133), S141 Proceed to According to this, the number of occurrences of a plurality of types of direct hit big hits with different periods (that is, the number of rounds) from the occurrence of the direct hit big hit to the end can be totaled for each type.

  In S141, it is determined whether or not the direct hit big hit recognized in S111 is a direct hit big hit with a short time state based on whether or not the big hit / short time signal is received. If it is determined in S141 that a big hit / short time signal is received (YES), it is recognized that the direct hit big hit is accompanied by a short time state, and the number of occurrences of the direct hit big hit is determined in the big hit number DB. Among them, 1 is added to the number of occurrences with time reduction and the total is counted (S142), and the process returns to S101. On the other hand, if it is determined in S141 that the big hit / short time signal has not been received (NO), that is, it is determined that the big hit / short time signal has been received at the same time that the big hit / short time signal has been received, the direct hit big hit is in the short time state. In the big hit number DB, 1 is added to the number of occurrences without time reduction in the big hit number DB (S143), and the process returns to S101. According to this, the frequency | count of occurrence of the direct hit big hit with a time-short state can be totaled.

  If there is a reception of a prize winning signal in S102 (YES), timing by a timer is started (S160), and reception of a special symbol confirmation signal (S161) or reception of a big hit signal (S162) is waited. If a special symbol confirmation signal is received in S161 (YES), the time measurement by the timer is terminated, the time measurement time t is reset, and the process returns to S101. If the jackpot signal is received in S162 (YES), it means that the jackpot signal has been received without receiving the special symbol confirmation signal after receiving the winning prize signal, so that the occurrence of the V prize jackpot is recognized. In the big hit number DB, 1 is added to the total number of V winning big hits, and the total number of winning big hits is a sum of the total number of V winning big hits and the total number of direct hit big hits in the big hit history DB. Correspondingly, the time of occurrence of the jackpot, the type of the jackpot (here, V prize) and the current start count stored in the RAM are stored (S163), the time counting by the timer is terminated, and the process goes to S164. move on.

  In S164, it is determined whether or not the time t measured by the timer is 4 seconds or more, which is the predetermined time. If it is determined in S164 that the time t is 4 seconds or more (YES), it is recognized that the V winning jackpot has been generated by an advantageous route, and the number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot is determined in the jackpot count DB. Then, 1 is added to the number of occurrences of the advantageous route and the total is counted, and the big hit route is stored as the advantageous route in the big hit history DB (S165), the time t is reset, and the process proceeds to S171. On the other hand, when it is determined in S164 that the time t is less than 4 seconds (NO), it is recognized that the V winning big hit is caused by an unfavorable route, and the number of occurrences of the V winning big hit is determined in the big hit number DB. Among them, 1 is added to the number of occurrences of the disadvantageous route and the total is counted, and the big hit route is stored as a disadvantageous route in the big hit history DB (S166), the time t is reset, and the process proceeds to S171. According to this, V generated by the pachinko ball entering the V winning port 71 due to the V winning jackpot and the disadvantageous route generated in response to the pachinko ball entering the V winning port 71 by the advantageous route. The number of occurrences per winning prize can be counted for each route.

  In S171, it is determined whether or not the V winning jackpot recognized in S163 is a V winning jackpot generated during the short-time state based on whether or not the big hit signal of S101 is received during the short-time state. If it is determined in S171 that the jackpot signal has been received during the short-time state (YES), it is recognized that the V-winning jackpot has occurred during the short-time state, and in the jackpot count DB, the V-winning jackpot is determined. Of the number of occurrences, 1 is added to the number of occurrences during the shortage, and is counted, and in the big hit history DB, ○ is stored in the column for the big hit time, and 1 is added to the number of consecutive hits of the previous big hit. The value is stored as the number of consecutive big hits (S172), and the process proceeds to S180. On the other hand, if it is determined in S171 that the big hit signal has not been received during the short-time state (NO), it is recognized that the V-winning big hit has not occurred during the short-time state, and the V-winning number DB receives the V winning Among the number of occurrences of big hits, 1 is added to the number of occurrences during non-time savings and tabulated, and 1 is stored as the number of consecutive big hits in the big hit history DB (S173), and the process proceeds to S180. According to this, it is possible to add up the number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot that occurred during the short-time state.

  In S180, the reception of the jackpot signal is completed (falling), and when the reception of the jackpot signal is completed (YES), the jackpot period in which the jackpot signal for the V winning jackpot recognized in S163 is input is one of the above criteria. It is determined whether it is 300 to 450 seconds (S181). If it is determined in S181 that the jackpot period is 300 to 450 seconds (YES), the V winning jackpot is recognized as a 15 round jackpot, and the number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot is determined in the jackpot count DB. , Add 1 to the number of occurrences of 15 rounds of jackpot, and count the number of rounds of jackpot as 15 rounds in the jackpot history DB, and store the number of difference balls in the jackpot (S182), The process proceeds to S191. On the other hand, if it is determined in S181 that the jackpot period is not 300 to 450 seconds (NO), it is determined whether or not the jackpot period is 140 to 210 seconds, which is another criterion (S183). ). If it is determined in S183 that the jackpot period is 140 to 210 seconds (YES), the V-winning jackpot is recognized as a seven-round jackpot, and in the jackpot count DB, out of the number of occurrences of the V-winning jackpot In addition, 1 is added to the number of occurrences of 7 round jackpot, and the jackpot history DB stores the number of rounds of the jackpot as 7 rounds, and stores the number of difference balls in the jackpot (S184), The process proceeds to S191. On the other hand, if it is determined in S183 that the big hit period is not 140 to 210 seconds (NO), the V winning big hit is recognized as two round big hits, and the number of occurrences of the V winning big hit is determined in the big hit number DB. Among them, 1 is added to the number of occurrences per 2 round jackpots, and the number of rounds per jackpot is stored as 2 rounds in the jackpot history DB, and the number of difference balls during the jackpot is stored (S185). The process proceeds to S191. According to this, the number of occurrences of a plurality of types of V winning jackpots having different periods (that is, the number of rounds) from the occurrence of the V winning jackpot to the end can be aggregated for each type.

  In S191, it is determined whether or not the V winning big hit recognized in S163 is a V winning big win with a short time state based on whether or not a big hit / short time signal is received. If it is determined in S191 that a big hit / short time signal has been received (YES), it is recognized that the V winning big hit is accompanied by a short time state, and the occurrence of the V winning big hit is generated in the big hit number DB. Of the number of times, 1 is added to the number of occurrences with time reduction and the total is counted (S192), and the process returns to S101. On the other hand, if it is determined in S191 that the big hit / short time signal has not been received (NO), that is, the reception of the big hit / short time signal has been completed at the same time as the reception of the big hit / short time signal has been completed, the V winning big hit is short. Recognizing that the state does not accompany, in the big hit number DB, 1 is added to the number of occurrences without a short time out of the number of occurrences of V winning big hit (S193), and the process returns to S101. According to this, it is possible to add up the number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot with a short time state.

  According to the jackpot number counting process described above, even if the jackpot signal for specifying the occurrence of the V winning jackpot or the direct hit jackpot is output from the pachinko machine 10, the winning prize received from the pachinko machine 10 is output. Based on the signal, the special symbol determination signal, and the big hit signal, the occurrence of the V winning big hit (S163) and the occurrence of the direct hit big hit (S111) are recognized separately. it can. When the number of occurrences of jackpots is tabulated by the jackpot count tabulation process and the stored contents of the jackpot count DB shown in FIG. 13 (a) and the issue history DB shown in FIG. 13 (b) are updated, the tabulation / Based on the updated content, the display content of the display 104 shown in FIG.

  Next, the display content of the display 104 will be described with reference to FIG. First, in the big hit number display area 104b, as shown in FIG. 16 (a), the lighting of the game related information stored in the big hit number DB (FIG. 13 (a)) is controlled by the control unit 102. Display based on the number of occurrences of the direct hit big hit and V winning big hit on the date (here, today) corresponding to the date display LED 107 being displayed.

  Specifically, as an initial state, as shown in FIG. 16 (a1), among the game related information, as the number of occurrences of the direct hit jackpot and V winning jackpot, the total number of direct hit jackpots and the total number of V winning jackpots Is displayed, and the number of occurrences per type (number of rounds) of direct hit big hit and V winning big hit is the number of occurrences of 15 round big hit per direct hit big hit and 2 round big hits, 15 round big hit per V winning big hit, 7 rounds The number of occurrences of big hit and the number of occurrences of big hits for two rounds are displayed, and the number of consecutive chunks is also displayed during the big hit and in the short time state. In this way, the number of occurrences of multiple types of jackpots with different periods from the occurrence of the jackpot to the end can be aggregated and displayed for each type. Can be used as a reference for selecting the pachinko machine 10.

  In addition, when the data type selection button 105 is operated in the state shown in FIG. 16A1, as shown in FIG. 16A2, the number of occurrences of the direct hit jackpot and the V winning jackpot in the game-related information. The total number of direct hit jackpots and the total number of V winning jackpots are displayed, and the number of occurrences of the direct hit jackpot with or without a short-time state and the number of occurrences of V winning jackpots with a short-time state (with a short time) Number of occurrences of big hits and direct hit big hits with no time reduction (no time reduction), V winning big hits with time reduction (with time reduction) and V winning big hits with no time reduction (no time reduction) Is displayed, and the number of consecutive chunks is also displayed during the big hit and the short time state. In this way, since the number of occurrences of the direct hit big hit with the short-time state and the number of occurrence of the V winning big hit can be displayed, the player grasps how much the big hit with the short-time state has occurred, It can be used as a reference for selecting the machine 10.

  Further, when the data type selection button 105 is operated in the state shown in FIG. 16 (a2), as shown in FIG. 16 (a3), the number of occurrences of the direct hit big hit and the V winning big hit in the game related information, as shown in FIG. As a result, the total number of direct hit big hits and the total number of V winning big hits are displayed, and the number of occurrences of V winning big hits by the advantageous route and V winning big hits by the unfavorable route are displayed as the number of occurrence of the V winning big hit per route. In addition, the number of consecutive chunks is also displayed during the big hit and the short time state. In this way, since the number of occurrences of the V winning jackpot can be totaled and displayed for each route, the player grasps how much the V winning jackpot for each route has occurred, and the pachinko machine 10 Can be used as a reference.

  When the data type selection button 105 is operated in the state shown in FIG. 16 (a3), the process returns to FIG. 16 (a1). In each state shown in FIG. 16A, when the date display LED 107 is turned on by operating the data date selection button 106, the date (for example, the previous day) corresponding to the date display LED 107 that is lit after the switching is changed. A display based on the number of occurrences of the direct hit jackpot and the V winning jackpot is performed.

  Next, in the jackpot history display area 104c, based on the game related information stored in the jackpot history DB (FIG. 13B), as shown in FIG. As a big hit history for each of the first hits up to six times (that is, a big hit with a memorized number of consecutive chunks of 1), the start count corresponding to the first hit is displayed as a bar graph with one scale as 100. At the same time, the last jackpot number of consecutive big hits continuously generated for the first hit is displayed. In this example, as the big hit history of this time, the 12th big hit shown in the big hit history DB is the first hit, and the number of start times (331 times) of the first hit is displayed as a 4-scale bar graph, and the first hit is continuous. 2 is displayed as the number of consecutive big hits (here, the 13th big hit). In addition, as the big hit history of the previous time, the 11th big hit shown in the big hit history DB is the first hit, and the number of start times (224 times) for the first hit is displayed as a three-scale bar graph, and the first hit hit is continuous. Since there is no big hit that occurred, 1 is displayed as the number of consecutive hits per initial hit. In this way, the number of consecutive big hits, which is the number of consecutive big hits generated, is calculated as the number of big hits generated from the occurrence of the big hit with the short time state in the normal gaming state to the next normal gaming state. Can be tabulated and displayed, so that the player can grasp the occurrence status of the jackpot (that is, how long the jackpot is continuously generated) and can be used as a reference for selecting the pachinko machine 10. .

  According to the calling lamp device 100 described above, even when the jackpot signal for specifying the occurrence of the V winning jackpot or the direct hit jackpot is output from the pachinko machine 10, the number of occurrences of both jackpots is displayed separately. It is possible to provide information for the player to select the pachinko machine 10 for reference.

  Further, as described above, the total value of each game-related information described above (that is, the stored contents of the jackpot number DB and the jackpot history DB) is transmitted from the communication unit 103 to the terminal device at a predetermined timing (for example, every minute) as described above. 110 and the relay computer 115 are transmitted to the communication unit 121 of the hall computer 120. Here, the communication unit 103 relates to the first specific gaming state (second type big hit = V winning big hit) and the second specific gaming state (first type big hit = direct hit big hit) recognized by the specific gaming state occurrence recognition means. It functions as a transmission means for transmitting information to the hall computer 120 that manages game-related information of the plurality of pachinko machines 10. According to this, since the information about the direct hit jackpot and the V winning jackpot can be transmitted to the hall computer 120, the hall computer 120 also collects the game related information about the direct hit jackpot and the V winning jackpot and stores it in the game hall. Can be provided. Further, in the hall computer 120, when the game-related information related to the direct hit jackpot and the V winning jackpot is tabulated, the software of the calling lamp device 100 is changed or the calling lamp device 100 is compared with the software of the hall computer 120 being changed. Since installation is easier, quick response is possible.

  Returning to FIGS. 1 and 2, the hall computer 120 is an example of a management device, and manages game-related information of a plurality of pachinko machines 10. The hall computer 120 is communicable with the calling lamp device 100 via the base terminal device 110 and the relay computer 115, further sums up the total value of the game related information transmitted from the calling lamp device 100, and totalizes the total value. The game related information of the plurality of pachinko machines 10 is managed by calculating the game related information based on the game related information. The hall computer 120 is a computer including a communication unit 121, a control unit 122, a hard disk 123, a display 124, and the like connected as shown in FIG.

  The communication unit 121 is communicably connected to the communication unit 103 of the call lamp device 100 via the relay computer 115, and game related information transmitted from the call lamp device 100 together with the base terminal number and the connection terminal name. The aggregate value is received.

  The control unit 122 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like. When the processing program stored in the ROM or the hard disk 123 is executed by the CPU using the RAM as a work area, the operation of each component included in the hall computer 120 is performed. Is used to perform various processes.

  The hard disk 123, which is a storage device, stores the game related information DB shown in FIG. 17, and the game related information DB stores all the game related information of all the pachinko machines 10 as shown in FIG. A table game related information DB and each table game related information DB for storing game related information of each pachinko machine 10 are stored as shown in FIG.

  First, in the all-game game related information DB shown in FIG. 17A, the base terminal number and connection terminal name of the base terminal apparatus 110 are associated with the base number of the pachinko machine 10 connected to the connection terminal. It is remembered. In addition, in the all-game game related information DB, a data table for each date is provided, and in each data table, for each pachinko machine 10, for each pachinko machine 10 in substantially the same manner as the big hit number DB shown in FIG. In association with the machine number of the pachinko machine 10, various game-related information (the number of shot balls, the number of payout balls, the number of difference balls, the number of first starting prizes, the second number) Number of start prizes, number of start, effective start rate, base, start ratio), number of occurrences of direct hit big hit (total number, round 15 big hit, round 2 big hit, time short, non-time short, with short time, with no short time) , And the number of occurrences of V winning jackpot (total, advantageous route, unfavorable route, 15 round jackpot, 7 round jackpot, 2 round jackpot, short time, non-short time, short time, no short time Each occurrence count) is stored. The contents of this all-game game related information DB are updated as will be described later based on the contents of the jackpot number DB transmitted from the calling lamp device 100.

  Moreover, in each stand game related information DB shown in FIG. 17 (b), a data table for each pachinko machine 10 is provided for every pachinko machine 10, and each data table is shown in FIG. 13 (b). Similar to the jackpot history DB, the occurrence time, type, start count, time and medium number, consecutive number of times, route, number of rounds, and difference ball count are stored for each jackpot in association with the hit count. . The contents of each jack game related information DB are the contents of the jackpot history DB transmitted from the calling lamp device 100.

  The control unit 122 and the hard disk 123 function as a game-related information totaling unit, as with the control unit 102 of the calling lamp device 100, and are transmitted from the calling lamp device 100 together with the base terminal number and the connection terminal name. Based on the total value of the game-related information, the game-related information is totaled for the pachinko machine 10 having the base number specified from the base terminal number and the connection terminal name. Specifically, the number of balls to be thrown in, the number of balls to be paid out, the number of difference balls, the number of first start wins, the number of second start wins, and the number of starts sent from the calling lamp device 100 are shown in FIG. And added to each value stored in the all-game game related information DB shown in FIG. As for the number of shot balls, the number of payout balls, and the number of difference balls, the total value, the value in the normal gaming state, and the value in the big hit state are totaled, and the first start winning number, the second starting winning number, As for the number of start times, the total value and the value in the normal gaming state are totaled. In addition, the value calculated by the formula of the number of start times / start winning prizes is totaled as an effective start rate, and the total is calculated based on the value calculated by the formula of (number of payout balls / number of shot balls) × 100, The value calculated by the formula of / number of balls to be shot) × 100 is totaled as the start ratio. For these effective start rate, base, and start rate, the total value and the value in the normal gaming state are totaled. Then, these totaled values are added to each value stored in the all-player game related information DB shown in FIG.

  In addition, the control unit 122 and the hard disk 123 function as a specific gaming state occurrence number counting unit, similarly to the control unit 102 of the calling lamp device 100. Specifically, the total number of direct hit jackpots, 15 round jackpots, two round jackpots, the number of occurrences of short-time, non-short-hours, with a short-time, and no short-time, and V-winning jackpots, which are transmitted from the calling lamp device 100 17 (a) shows the total number of occurrences, the advantageous routes, the disadvantageous routes, the rounds of 15 rounds, the rounds of 7 rounds, the rounds of 2 rounds, and the number of occurrences of short-time, non-short-time, short-time, and short-time. It adds to each value memorize | stored in game related information DB, and totals it.

  The display 124 is for displaying various information, and is a liquid crystal display, for example. The display 124 is an example of an output unit, and outputs a totaling result by the specific gaming state occurrence number counting unit. The display 124 displays the contents of the all-game game related information DB shown in FIG. As a result, even when the big hit signal for specifying the occurrence of the V winning big hit or the direct hit big hit is output from the pachinko machine 10, the number of occurrences of both big hits can be distinguished and displayed.

  In addition, the V winning jackpot was generated in response to the pachinko ball entering the V winning opening 71 due to the V winning jackpot and the unfavorable route occurring in response to the pachinko ball entering the V winning opening 71 by the advantageous route. Since the number of occurrences of the V prize winning jackpot can be displayed for each route, it can be understood how much the V winning jackpot for each route has occurred, and can be used for adjusting the pachinko machine 10. Specifically, the nails around the open / close pieces 42 and 42 are adjusted and the pachinko machine 10 is laid down so that the ratio of occurrence of V winning jackpots for each route is close to a desired ratio. Can be used for

  In addition, for the direct hit jackpot and the V winning jackpot, the number of occurrences of multiple types of jackpots with different periods from the occurrence of the jackpot to the end (that is, the number of rounds) can be displayed for each type. For example, it can be used for finding fraud (whether the 15th round big hit is not targeted).

  In addition, it is possible to output and grasp the number of big hits that occurred during the short-time state for direct hit big hits and V winning big hits, so it can be used, for example, to detect fraud (whether the big hit that continues in the short-time state is targeted) It can be used to adjust the pachinko machine 10. Specifically, when there are too many jackpots that occurred during the time-shortening state, it can be used to make adjustments such as tightening nails around the second start winning opening 22.

  Furthermore, for direct hit big hits and V winning big hits, it is possible to output and grasp the number of occurrences of big hits with a short time state, so for example, it can be used for finding fraud (whether the big hit with a short time state is not aimed) It can be used to adjust the pachinko machine 10. Specifically, if the ratio of big hits with a short time state seems to be large, it can be used to make adjustments such as tightening nails around the second start winning opening 22.

  The display 124 also displays the contents of each table game related information DB shown in FIG. Thereby, about each pachinko machine 10, the game related information regarding the big hit can be grasped.

[2 '. Information Display Device According to Modified Example of First Embodiment]
In the first embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 14, the example of recognizing the type of jackpot based on the special symbol confirmation signal that is variable display execution information has been described. As shown in FIG. 4, as a modification of the first embodiment, the type of jackpot may be recognized based on a start winning signal which is start detection information instead of the special symbol confirmation signal. In this case, as shown in FIG. 22 (a), the control unit 102 functioning as the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means outputs the jackpot signal without receiving the bonus winning signal after receiving the start winning signal * 10. Based on the reception, it is recognized that a direct hit jackpot has occurred, and although not shown, the V winning prize is received based on the fact that the jackpot signal is received without receiving the start winning signal after receiving the bonus winning signal. Recognize that a big hit has occurred. That is, the variable winning apparatus 40 is started by changing the variable winning apparatus 40 from the second state (the open / close pieces 42 and 42 are closed) to the first state (the opened state). When a pachinko ball that has entered 40 (winning a prize) wins a V prize opening 71, the period from the prize winning to the V prize is as short as about 3 to 5 seconds. Therefore, if a big hit signal is received without receiving a start winning signal after receiving an accessory winning signal, it can be recognized that a V winning big hit has occurred. Yes, when a direct hit jackpot based on the next start prize is generated, the period from the previous start prize to the winning combination prize is as short as about 2 seconds, and the possibility that the next start prize will occur during the period is low. Therefore, after receiving the start prize signal for the next start prize When receiving the jackpot signal without receiving an object winning signal is able to recognize the hit jackpot occurs.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 22 (b), the start winning signal * 20 is received, the accessory winning signal * 21 corresponding to the starting winning signal * 20 is received, and the next start winning signal * 30 is received. When the jackpot signal * 22 corresponding to the winning prize signal * 21 is received, that is, the period from the winning prize (reception of the winning prize signal * 21) to the V prize (reception of the jackpot signal * 22) When the next start prize (start prize signal * 30) is received, the big hit of the jackpot signal * 22 is not the original V prize jackpot corresponding to the start prize signal * 20 but the start prize signal * 30. Although it will be mistakenly recognized as the corresponding direct hit jackpot, since the period from winning a prize to V winning is as short as about 3 to 5 seconds as described above, this situation is Because it is rare, the V winning jackpot occurs almost accurately. It can be recognized to have. In order to recognize that a V-winning jackpot has completely occurred even in such a situation, it is preferable to use a special symbol confirmation signal instead of the start winning signal as a signal for recognizing the type of jackpot.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 22 (c), the start winning signal * 40 is received from the pachinko machine 10 having the function of holding the effective start winning of the special symbol, and the role corresponding to the starting winning signal * 40 is received. Receives the winning prize signal * 41 and receives the next starting prize signal * 50 (start prize used for variable display of special symbols after the pachinko ball detected at * 41 is detected by the accessory discharge switch 72a). Further, the next winning prize signal * 60 (starting prize used for variable display of the special symbol after the variable display by * 50 is completed) is received, and the winning prize signal * corresponding to the starting prize signal * 50 is received. 51, and when the jackpot signal * 62 corresponding to the start winning signal * 60 is received, that is, the period from the start winning (start winning signal * 50) to the winning combination (serving winning signal * 51) Next start When there is a winning (start winning signal * 60) and a direct hit big hit (big hit signal * 62) is generated by the next start winning, the big hit of the big hit signal * 62 is originally corresponding to the start winning signal * 60. It will be mistakenly recognized that it is a V winning jackpot corresponding to the winning prize signal * 51 corresponding to the start winning signal * 50, not the direct hit big hit, but the period from the starting winning prize to the winning prize is Since it is as short as about 2 seconds as described above, such a situation is rare, so it can be recognized that a direct hit jackpot has occurred almost accurately. In order to recognize that a direct hit big hit has occurred even in such a situation, it is preferable to use a special symbol confirmation signal instead of the start winning signal as a signal for recognizing the type of big hit.

[3. Information Display Device According to Second Embodiment]
Next, the calling lamp device 100 which is an information display device according to the second embodiment will be described. The calling lamp device 100 according to the second embodiment is different from the calling lamp device 100 according to the first embodiment only in the configuration and operation related to the big hit number counting process, and the other is the same. Hereinafter, only the points different from the first embodiment will be described for the call lamp device 100 according to the second embodiment.

  First, among the signals input to the signal input unit 101 functioning as the receiving means, a signal used for recognition in the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means described below is a bonus release signal or variable prize that is start operation execution information. These are a bonus winning signal that is device entry information, a jackpot signal that is specific gaming state identification information, and a jackpot signal and jackpot / short time signal that are special gaming state information. That is, in the second embodiment, the number of jackpots is tabulated based on two types of information, that is, an accessory release signal or variable winning device entry information and specific game state specifying information.

  Further, the control unit 102 functions as a timing unit that starts timing based on reception of start operation execution information or variable winning device entry information (here, a prize winning signal that is variable winning device entry information). Note that this timing means starts timing from when the call lamp device 100 is turned on, and is reset every time an accessory winning prize signal is received and starts counting again.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the control unit 102 functioning as the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means is provided that when the jackpot signal is received, the time t measured by the time measuring means does not reach a predetermined time. The first specific gaming state (the second type big hit = V winning big hit) is recognized and the second specific gaming state (first Recognize that seed hits = direct hit hits).

  Here, the predetermined time is the longest time from receiving the winning prize signal to receiving the jackpot signal for the V winning jackpot (that is, until the pachinko ball led to the advantageous route enters the V winning slot 71. It is longer than the longest time (6 seconds) and is the shortest time from receiving the winning prize signal to receiving the big hit signal of the direct hit jackpot (that is, the pachinko ball detected by the winning prize winning switch 43a is the accessory discharge switch) 72 seconds is set to a time shorter than about 1 second, which is the shortest time until detection by 72a + 15 seconds = 16 seconds, which is the variable display time from when the special symbol variable display is started until the big hit symbol is displayed. In this example, it is set to 15 seconds. As described above, the predetermined time is set to a time longer than 6 seconds and shorter than 16 seconds. If the predetermined time is set shorter than 6 seconds, even if the V winning jackpot is actually set, When the predetermined time has been reached (for example, in a state in which the predetermined time is set to 4 seconds, which is shorter than 5 seconds which is the shortest time until the pachinko ball led to the advantageous route enters the V winning opening 71. When the jackpot signal by the advantageous route is received, or the predetermined time is set to a time shorter than 2 seconds which is the shortest time until the pachinko ball led to the disadvantageous route enters the V winning opening 71. When a jackpot signal is received from an advantageous route or an unfavorable route), it is recognized that a direct hit jackpot has occurred. On the other hand, if the predetermined time is set longer than 16 seconds, However, if the measured time has not reached the predetermined time (for example, immediately after the pachinko ball corresponding to the prize winning signal is detected by the accessory discharge switch 72a, the variable symbol display uses the reserved memory. This is because, when the jackpot symbol is displayed and the jackpot signal of the direct hit jackpot is received), it is recognized that the V winning jackpot has occurred. The predetermined time is set in the hall computer 120, and the set value is transmitted to the calling lamp device 100, so that it is stored and set in the control unit 102 of the calling lamp device 100.

  In the example shown in FIG. 18 (a), after the special symbol confirmation signal * 10 is received, the opening and closing pieces 42 and 42 are started when the special symbol of * 10 is a small hit symbol, and the prize winning switch When the prize winning signal * 11 based on the detection of the pachinko ball by 43a is received, timing by the timing means is started. Next, if the jackpot signal * 22 is received without receiving the prize winning signal after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 20, the time t in this case is, after receiving the bonus winning signal * 11, * It is the time to receive the jackpot signal * 22 based on the control of the direct hit jackpot due to the jackpot symbol being derived and displayed after 15 seconds have elapsed since the start of variable display of the special symbol of 20. Since the predetermined time is 15 seconds or more and the time t has reached the predetermined time, it is recognized that a direct hit big hit has occurred. At the start of receiving the big hit signal * 22, it is recognized that the direct hit big hit has occurred during a non-time-short state, and at the end of reception of the big hit signal * 22, the direct hit big hit is recognized as having a round 15 big hit and a short-time state. This is the same as in the first embodiment.

  Also, when the character winning prize signal * 31 is received after the reception of the special symbol confirmation signal * 30, the timing by the timing means is started, and after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 40, the character winning prize signal is not received. When the big hit signal * 42 is received, the time t in this case has reached the predetermined time for the same reason, so that it is recognized that a direct hit big hit has occurred. At the start of receiving the big hit signal * 42, it is recognized that the direct hit big hit has occurred during the short-time state, and at the end of the reception of the big hit signal * 42, it is recognized that the direct hit big hit does not involve the two round big hit and the short-time state. This is the same as in the first embodiment.

  In the example shown in FIG. 18B, after the special symbol confirmation signal * 10 is received, the opening / closing pieces 42 and 42 are started by the special symbol of * 10 being a small hit symbol, and a prize is awarded. When the prize winning signal * 11 based on the detection of the pachinko ball by the switch 43a is received, timing by the timing means is started. Next, when the jackpot signal * 12 is received, the time t in this case is that the pachinko ball that is the target of the prize winning signal * 11 is received at the V prize opening 71 after receiving the prize winning signal * 11. Since it is the time to receive the jackpot signal * 12 based on winning, it is 5 to 6 seconds for V winning by the advantageous route, and 2 to 3 seconds for V winning by the unfavorable route. Since the predetermined time is less than 15 seconds and the time t has not reached the predetermined time, it is recognized that a V winning jackpot has occurred. At the start of receiving the jackpot signal * 12, it is recognized that the V winning jackpot is generated by an advantageous route and during a non-time-saving state, and at the end of receiving the jackpot signal * 12, the V winning jackpot is hit by 15 rounds. , And the point of recognizing that the short time state is involved, is the same as in the first embodiment.

  Also, after receiving the symbol winning signal * 21 after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 20, the clocking by the timing means is started, and when the jackpot signal * 22 is received next, the clocking time t in this case is also the same reason. Since the predetermined time has not been reached, it is recognized that a V winning jackpot has occurred. At the start of receiving the jackpot signal * 22, it is recognized that the V-winning jackpot is generated due to an unfavorable route and during the short-time state, and at the end of receiving the jackpot signal * 22, the V-winning jackpot is hit for seven rounds, And the point recognized that it accompanies a time-short state is the same as that of 1st Embodiment.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 19, the jackpot count totaling process performed by the control unit 102 of the calling lamp device 100 according to the second embodiment will be described. First, the control unit 102 waits for reception of an accessory winning signal (S201) or reception of a jackpot signal (S202). If there is reception of a prize winning signal in S201 (YES), timing by a timer is started (S203), and the process returns to S201. If the jackpot signal is received in S202 (YES), it is determined whether or not the time t measured by the timer is equal to or longer than the predetermined time of 15 seconds (S204). If it is determined in S204 that the time t is 15 seconds or more (YES), the process proceeds to S111 shown in FIG. 15 and it is recognized that a direct hit big hit has occurred. On the other hand, if it is determined in S204 that the time t is less than 15 seconds (NO), the process proceeds to S163 shown in FIG. 15, and it is recognized that a V winning big hit has occurred.

  According to this jackpot number counting process, even if the jackpot signal for specifying the occurrence of the V winning jackpot or the direct hit jackpot is output from the pachinko machine 10, the winning prize signal and the jackpot received from the pachinko machine 10 are output. Since the occurrence of the V winning jackpot and the occurrence of the direct hit jackpot are recognized separately based on the signal, the number of occurrences of both jackpots can be distinguished and counted.

[3 '. Information Display Device According to Modified Example of Second Embodiment]
In the second embodiment described above, as shown in S203 of FIG. 19, the control unit 102 that functions as a timekeeping unit starts timing based on the reception of the prize winning signal, and as shown in S204, When the control unit 102 functioning as the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means receives the jackpot signal, the first specific gaming state (on the condition that the time measured by the time measuring means has not reached a predetermined time set in advance) Recognizing that the second type big hit = V winning big hit) occurred, and that the second specific gaming state (first type big hit = direct hit big hit) occurred on the condition that the timed time has reached a predetermined time Although the example which recognizes was demonstrated, it is not restricted to this, As shown in FIG. 23, as a modification of this 2nd Embodiment, it is provided with a specific means instead of the said time measuring means, and specific game state generation | occurrence | production recognition Function as a stage may be different.

  That is, the control unit 102 receives the starting operation execution information or variable winning device entry information (here, the prize winning signal which is variable winning device entry information) until receiving the specific gaming state specifying information (big hit signal). It functions as a specifying means for specifying the time as the determination time T. Specifically, the control unit 102 manages the time at which each signal is received at the signal input unit 101, calculates the difference between the reception time of the winning prize signal and the reception time of the jackpot signal, The determination time T is specified.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23 (a), the control unit 102 functioning as the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means is on condition that the determination time T specified by the specifying means has not reached a predetermined time. The first specific gaming state (second type big win = V winning big hit) is recognized and the second specific gaming state (first type is obtained on the condition that the determination time T has reached a predetermined time). It is recognized that a big hit = direct hit big hit) has occurred. The predetermined time here is set to 15 seconds as in the second embodiment.

  In the example shown in FIG. 23 (a), after the special symbol confirmation signal * 10 is received, the opening and closing pieces 42 and 42 are started by the special symbol of * 10 being a small hit symbol, so that a prize is awarded. When the prize winning signal * 11 based on the detection of the pachinko ball by the switch 43a is received, the reception time of the * 11 is managed. Next, after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 20, if the jackpot signal * 22 is received without receiving the prize winning signal, the reception time of the managed prize winning signal * 11 and the jackpot signal * 22 The difference from the reception time is calculated, and the determination time T (here 18 seconds) is specified. The determination time T in this case is that the direct hit jackpot control is performed because the bonus symbol is derived and displayed after 15 seconds from the start of variable display of the special symbol * 20 after receiving the bonus winning signal * 11. Because it is the time to receive the jackpot signal * 22 based on what has been done, the predetermined time is 15 seconds or more and the judgment time T has reached the predetermined time, so that a direct hit jackpot has occurred Recognize

  Also, after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 30, the opening / closing pieces 42 and 42 are started when the special symbol of * 30 is a small hit symbol, and the pachinko ball is detected by the accessory winning switch 43a. When the bonus winning signal * 31 based on the above is received, the reception time of * 31 is managed. Next, when the big hit signal * 32 is received without receiving the special symbol confirmation signal, the difference between the reception time of the managed prize winning signal * 31 and the reception time of the big hit signal * 32 is calculated, The determination time T (here 6 seconds) is specified. The determination time T in this case is a jackpot signal * 32 based on the fact that the pachinko ball that is the target of the prize winning signal * 31 wins the V prize opening 71 after receiving the prize winning signal * 31. Since it is the time until reception, it is 5 to 6 seconds for the V winning award by the advantageous route, and 2 to 3 seconds for the V winning the unfavorable route, and in any case, the predetermined time is less than 15 seconds. Yes, since the determination time T has not reached the predetermined time, it is recognized that a V winning jackpot has occurred.

  Here, with reference to FIG.23 (b), the jackpot count totaling process which the control part 102 of the ringing lamp apparatus 100 which concerns on the modification of 2nd Embodiment performs is demonstrated. First, the control unit 102 waits for reception of a jackpot signal (S201 '). If the jackpot signal is received in S201 ′ (YES), the determination time T is specified as described above (S202 ′), and it is determined whether or not the determination time T is equal to or longer than the predetermined time of 15 seconds. (S203 ′). If it is determined in S203 'that the determination time T is 15 seconds or more (YES), the process proceeds to S111 shown in FIG. 15, and it is recognized that a direct hit big hit has occurred. On the other hand, if it is determined in S203 'that the determination time T is less than 15 seconds (NO), the process proceeds to S163 shown in FIG. 15, and it is recognized that a V winning big hit has occurred.

  According to this jackpot number counting process, even if the jackpot signal for specifying the occurrence of the V winning jackpot or the direct hit jackpot is output from the pachinko machine 10, the winning prize signal and the jackpot received from the pachinko machine 10 are output. Since the occurrence of the V winning jackpot and the occurrence of the direct hit jackpot are recognized separately based on the signal, the number of occurrences of both jackpots can be distinguished and counted.

  Note that the timing of performing the determination in S203 ′ is not limited to immediately after receiving the jackpot signal, but may be after a certain time has elapsed since the jackpot signal was received, or even after reception of the jackpot signal has been completed. good. Furthermore, the timing for performing the determination of S203 ′ is after a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds or longer than the longest time that the V winning is generated by the advantageous route) has elapsed since the reception of the special symbol confirmation signal. Also good.

[4. Information Display Device According to Third Embodiment]
Next, the calling lamp device 100 which is an information display device according to the third embodiment will be described. The call lamp device 100 according to the third embodiment is different from the call lamp device 100 according to the first embodiment only in the configuration and operation related to the big hit number counting process, and the other is the same. Hereinafter, the call lamp device 100 according to the third embodiment will be described only with respect to differences from the first embodiment.

  First, among the signals input to the signal input unit 101 functioning as the receiving means, the signals used for recognition in the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means described below are a special symbol confirmation signal that is variable display execution information, and a specific signal. A jackpot signal which is game state specifying information, and a jackpot signal and jackpot / time-short signal which are special game state information. That is, in the third embodiment, the number of jackpots is tabulated based on two types of information, variable display execution information and specific game state specifying information.

  Further, the control unit 102 functions as a clocking unit that starts clocking based on reception of the special symbol confirmation signal. This time measuring means is reset every time a special symbol confirmation signal is received and starts counting again.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the control unit 102 functioning as the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means is provided that the time measured by the time measuring means does not reach a predetermined time when a jackpot signal is received. The second specific gaming state (type 1 big hit = direct hit big hit) is recognized and the first specific gaming state (second type big hit = It is recognized that a V winning big hit) has occurred.

  Here, the predetermined time is longer than about 0.5 seconds, which is the longest time from receiving the special symbol confirmation signal to receiving the big hit signal of the direct hit big hit, and receiving the V symbol after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal. The shortest time required to receive a big hit signal (that is, 1 second which is a variable display time from when the special symbol variable display is started until the small hit symbol is displayed + the pachinko ball led to the disadvantageous route) A time shorter than 2 seconds = 3 seconds, which is the shortest time until the player enters the V winning opening 71, is set to 1 second in this example. As described above, the predetermined time is set to a time longer than 0.5 seconds and shorter than 3 seconds. If the predetermined time is set shorter than 0.5 seconds, the time measurement is true even if the direct hit is a big hit. Since the time has reached the predetermined time, it is recognized that a V winning jackpot has occurred. On the other hand, if the predetermined time is set longer than 3 seconds, even if the V winning jackpot is actually set, If the time has not reached the predetermined time (for example, the predetermined time is led to 1 second plus a disadvantageous route which is a variable display time from the start of variable display of a special symbol until the small hit symbol is displayed) When a jackpot signal from the disadvantageous route is received in a state where the maximum time until the pachinko ball enters the V winning opening 71 is set to 5 seconds, which is 3 seconds = 4 seconds, or for the predetermined time Is a variable table of special symbols 1 second which is a variable display time from the start of the game to the display of the small hit symbol + the longest time until the pachinko ball led to the advantageous route enters the V winning opening 71 from 6 seconds = 7 seconds This is because it is recognized that a direct hit jackpot has occurred when a jackpot signal is received by an advantageous route or an unfavorable route with a long time set. The predetermined time is set in the hall computer 120, and the set value is transmitted to the calling lamp device 100, so that it is stored and set in the control unit 102 of the calling lamp device 100.

  In the example shown in FIG. 20 (a), when the special symbol confirmation signal * 10 is received, the clocking is started by the clock means, and the opening / closing pieces 42 and 42 are started when the special symbol of * 10 is a small hit symbol. Is received and the special symbol confirmation signal * 20 is received after the prize winning signal * 11 based on the pachinko ball detected by the prize winning switch 43a is received, the time t is reset by the timing means. Then start timing again. If the jackpot signal * 22 is received without receiving the winning prize signal, the time t in this case is the time from when the special symbol confirmation signal * 20 is received until the jackpot signal * 22 is received. Therefore, the predetermined time is less than 1 second, and the time t has not reached the predetermined time, so that it is recognized that a direct hit big hit has occurred. At the start of receiving the big hit signal * 22, it is recognized that the direct hit big hit has occurred during a non-time-short state, and at the end of reception of the big hit signal * 22, the direct hit big hit is recognized as having a round 15 big hit and a short-time state. This is the same as in the first embodiment.

  In addition, when the special symbol confirmation signal * 30 is received, the timing by the timing means is started, and after receiving the character winning prize signal * 11, when the next special symbol confirmation signal * 20 is received, the timing time t by the timing means is reset. Then, when the time measurement is started again and the jackpot signal * 22 is received without receiving the prize winning signal, the time t in this case does not reach the predetermined time for the same reason, so a direct hit jackpot has occurred. Recognize that. At the start of receiving the big hit signal * 42, it is recognized that the direct hit big hit has occurred during the short-time state, and at the end of the reception of the big hit signal * 42, it is recognized that the direct hit big hit does not involve the two round big hit and the short-time state. This is the same as in the first embodiment.

  In the example shown in FIG. 20 (b), when the special symbol confirmation signal * 10 is received, the clocking by the timing means is started, and the opening / closing pieces 42 and 42 are started when the special symbol of * 10 is a small hit symbol. After receiving the bonus winning signal * 12 without receiving the special symbol confirmation signal after receiving the bonus winning signal * 11 based on the action being performed and the pachinko ball detected by the winning prize winning switch 43a, In the case of the timing time t, after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 10, the jackpot signal * 12 based on the fact that the pachinko ball that is the subject of the prize winning signal * 11 wins the V winning opening 71 is received. Therefore, 5 to 6 seconds + α if the V prize is based on the advantageous route, 2 to 3 seconds + α if the V prize is based on the disadvantageous route (where + α indicates that the special symbol variable display has started) 1) which is the variable display time until the small winning symbol is displayed), so in any case it is 1 second or more which is the predetermined time, and the time t has reached the predetermined time. Recognize that occurred. At the start of receiving the jackpot signal * 12, it is recognized that the V winning jackpot is generated by an advantageous route and during a non-time-saving state, and at the end of receiving the jackpot signal * 12, the V winning jackpot is hit by 15 rounds. , And the point of recognizing that the short time state is involved, is the same as in the first embodiment.

  In addition, when the special symbol confirmation signal * 20 is received, timing by the time measuring means is started, and after receiving the character winning prize signal * 21, if the jackpot signal * 22 is received without receiving the special symbol confirmation signal * 21, Since the time count t at has reached the predetermined time for the same reason, it is recognized that a direct hit jackpot has occurred. At the start of receiving the jackpot signal * 22, it is recognized that the V-winning jackpot is generated due to an unfavorable route and during the short-time state, and at the end of receiving the jackpot signal * 22, the V-winning jackpot is hit for seven rounds, And the point recognized that it accompanies a time-short state is the same as that of 1st Embodiment.

  Here, with reference to FIG. 21, the jackpot count totaling process performed by the control unit 102 of the calling lamp device 100 according to the third embodiment will be described. First, the control unit 102 waits for reception of a special symbol confirmation signal (S301) or reception of a big hit signal (S302). If a special symbol confirmation signal is received in S301 (YES), the timer starts counting (S303), and the process returns to S301. If the jackpot signal is received in S302 (YES), it is determined whether or not the time measured t by the timer is less than the predetermined time of 1 second (S304). When it is determined in S304 that the time t is less than 1 second (YES), the process proceeds to S111 shown in FIG. 15 and it is recognized that a direct hit big hit has occurred. On the other hand, if it is determined in S304 that the time count t is 1 second or longer (NO), the process proceeds to S163 shown in FIG. 15 and it is recognized that a V winning big hit has occurred.

  According to this jackpot number counting process, even when a big hit signal for specifying the occurrence of a V winning big hit or a direct hit big hit is output from the pachinko machine 10, a special symbol confirmation signal and a big hit received from the pachinko machine 10 are output. Since the occurrence of the V winning jackpot and the occurrence of the direct hit jackpot are recognized separately based on the signal, the number of occurrences of both jackpots can be distinguished and counted.

[4 '. Information Display Device According to Modified Example of Third Embodiment]
In the third embodiment described above, as shown in S303 of FIG. 21, the control unit 102 functioning as a time measuring unit starts measuring time based on the reception of the special symbol confirmation signal, and as shown in S304, When the control unit 102 functioning as the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means receives the jackpot signal, the second specific gaming state (on the condition that the time measured by the time measuring means has not reached a predetermined time set in advance) Recognizing that the first type big hit = direct hit big hit) occurred, and that the first specific gaming state (second type big hit = V winning big hit) occurred on the condition that the time has reached a predetermined time Although the example to recognize was demonstrated, it is not restricted to this, As shown in FIG. 24, as a modification of this 3rd Embodiment, it is provided with a specific means instead of the said time measuring means, and specific game state generation | occurrence | production Function as the identification means may be different.

  That is, the control unit 102 functions as a specifying unit that specifies the time from when the variable display execution information (special symbol determination signal) is received until the specific game state specifying information (big hit signal) is received as the determination time T. is there. Specifically, the control unit 102 manages the time when each signal is received in the signal input unit 101, calculates the difference between the reception time of the special symbol confirmation signal and the reception time of the jackpot signal, The determination time T is specified.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 24A, the control unit 102 functioning as the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means is on condition that the determination time T specified by the specifying means has not reached a predetermined time. The second specific gaming state (type 1 big hit = direct hit big hit) is recognized and the first specific gaming state (type 2 big hit is based on the fact that the determination time T has reached a predetermined time. = V winning big hit) is recognized. The predetermined time here is set to 1 second as in the third embodiment.

  In the example shown in FIG. 24A, when the special symbol confirmation signal * 10 is received, the reception time of the * 10 is managed. Next, when the jackpot signal * 12 is received without receiving the prize winning signal, the reception time of the * 12 is managed. After a certain time (10 seconds in this case) has elapsed since the reception of the special symbol confirmation signal, the difference between the reception time of the managed special symbol confirmation signal * 10 and the reception time of the jackpot signal * 12 is calculated. The determination time T (here, 0.5 seconds) is specified. In this case, the determination time T is the time from the reception of the special symbol confirmation signal * 10 to the reception of the jackpot signal * 12. Therefore, the determination time T is less than 1 second, which is the predetermined time. Since the predetermined time has not been reached, it is recognized that a direct hit jackpot has occurred.

  When the special symbol confirmation signal * 20 is received, the reception time of the * 20 is managed. Next, when the special symbol of * 20 is a small hit symbol, the opening / closing pieces 42, 42 are started, and a prize winning signal * 21 based on the detection of a pachinko ball by the prize winning switch 43a is generated. When the jackpot signal * 22 is received after reception, the reception time of the * 22 is managed. After a certain time (10 seconds in this case) has elapsed since the reception of the special symbol confirmation signal, the difference between the reception time of the managed special symbol confirmation signal * 20 and the reception time of the jackpot signal * 22 is calculated. The determination time T (here, 7 seconds) is specified. The determination time T in this case is that the special symbol confirmation signal * 20 is received, and then the jackpot signal * 22 based on the fact that the pachinko ball that is the subject of the prize winning signal * 21 wins the V winning opening 71 is received. Since it is the time to complete, 5 to 6 seconds + α if the V prize is based on the advantageous route, 2 to 3 seconds + α if the V prize is based on the unfavorable route (where + α is the variable symbol display is started) 1), which is the variable display time from when the small hit symbol is displayed), so in any case, the predetermined time is 1 second or more, and the determination time T has reached the predetermined time. Recognize that a big hit has occurred.

  In this example, after a predetermined time (in this case, 10 seconds) has elapsed since the reception of the special symbol confirmation signal, the specifying means specifies the determination time T, and the specific gaming state occurrence recognition means recognizes the occurrence of the big hit. However, this is based on the premise of receiving a special symbol confirmation signal for both direct hit jackpots and V winning jackpots. This is because the jackpot signal is received after 5-6 seconds + α at the latest.

  Here, with reference to FIG.24 (b), the jackpot count totaling process which the control part 102 of the calling lamp apparatus 100 which concerns on the modification of 3rd Embodiment performs is demonstrated. First, the control unit 102 determines whether or not 10 seconds have elapsed since the reception of the special symbol determination signal (S301 '). If it is determined in S301 'that 10 seconds have elapsed since the reception of the special symbol confirmation signal (YES), it is determined whether or not the jackpot signal has been received (S303'). If it is determined in S303 'that the jackpot signal has not been received (NO), the process returns to S302'. On the other hand, if it is determined in S303 ′ that the jackpot signal has been received (YES), the determination time T is specified as described above (S303 ′), and the determination time T is less than 1 second, which is the predetermined time. It is determined whether or not (S304 ′). If it is determined in S304 'that the determination time T is less than 1 second (YES), the process proceeds to S111 shown in FIG. 15, and it is recognized that a direct hit big hit has occurred. On the other hand, if it is determined in S304 'that the determination time T is 1 second or longer (NO), the process proceeds to S163 shown in FIG. 15, and it is recognized that a V winning big hit has occurred.

  According to this jackpot number counting process, even when a big hit signal for specifying the occurrence of a V winning big hit or a direct hit big hit is output from the pachinko machine 10, a special symbol confirmation signal and a big hit received from the pachinko machine 10 are output. Since the occurrence of the V winning jackpot and the occurrence of the direct hit jackpot are recognized separately based on the signal, the number of occurrences of both jackpots can be distinguished and counted.

  Note that the timing of the determination in S304 ′ is not limited to a certain time (in this case, 10 seconds) after the reception of the special symbol confirmation signal, and may be immediately after receiving the big hit signal. It may be after a certain period of time elapses or after receiving the jackpot signal.

[5. Modified example]
Finally, a modification of the present invention will be described.

  In the above embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 may be a CR-type pachinko machine or a cash-type pachinko machine. In addition, pachinko machines include pachinko balls that are game media and pachinko balls that are encapsulated in a non-touchable manner and points are awarded in accordance with winning prizes. It may be an image-type pachinko machine that is displayed as an image and is given a score in accordance with a prize, or a credit-type pachinko machine in which credits are added in accordance with a prize at a prize opening.

  In the embodiment described above, the number of rounds per direct hit and the number of rounds per V winning prize may be different depending on the specifications of the gaming machine (pachinko machine 10). In this case, S131, S181, S183 in FIG. The determination criteria used in the determination shown in FIG. That is, the number of big hits and the criteria for recognizing the number of rounds are not particularly limited.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the example in which the information display device is the call lamp device 100 provided corresponding to the pachinko machine 10 has been described. A card unit or a cash unit provided corresponding to the lateral side of the information display device with each component of the information display device, or a component of the information display device on the game island curtain (for example, 4 pachinko machines 10 connected to the terminal device 110 are summed up and displayed for the number of occurrences of jackpots, and the information display device is provided on the island edge of the game island (for example, The pachinko machine 10 arranged on the game island where the relay computer 115 is provided is used to count and display the number of occurrences of jackpots, or a predetermined location in the game hall (for example, a prize exchange counter) The information display device is provided in a kiosk terminal provided in the vicinity of the terminal (that is, the total number of occurrences of jackpots for all pachinko machines 10 arranged in the game hall is displayed). May be.

  In the above embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the example in which the reception unit (signal input unit 101) of the calling lamp device 100 receives all signals output from the gaming machine (pachinko machine 10) has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is only necessary for the receiving means to receive at least a signal necessary for the big hit number counting process. Specifically, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 15, variable display execution information (special symbol confirmation signal), start operation execution information (combination opening signal) or variable winning device entry information (combination winning signal). Any one and specific game state specifying information (big hit signal) may be received. In the same modification shown in FIG. 22, start detection information (start winning signal) and starting operation execution information or variable winning device entry information Any one of the above and the specific game state specifying information may be received. In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 19 and the modification shown in FIG. 23, it is only necessary to receive either the starting operation execution information or the variable winning device entry information and the specific gaming state specifying information.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, an example in which each signal output from the pachinko machine 10 is directly input to the calling lamp device 100 has been described. Each signal may be input once to the corresponding terminal device 110 and input to the calling lamp device 100 from the terminal device 110.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, an example in which the starting area is a winning opening (that is, the first starting winning opening 21 and the second starting winning opening 22) has been described. A passage opening such as 26 may be used.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the number of start operations (the number of times the opening and closing pieces 42 and 42 are opened) is determined by lottery regardless of which of the first start winning opening 21 and the second starting winning opening 22 is won. Although described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and without performing the lottery, for example, when the first start winning port 21 is won, the start operation is executed once, and when the second start winning port 22 is won, the start is started. The operation may be executed twice. Note that the number of executions of the start operation is not limited to once or twice, and may be one or three times.

  In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the example in which the variable display means (special symbol variable display device 31) is a one-digit seven-segment display has been described. Multiple digits may be used, and the special symbol may be a symbol or the like instead of a number. In addition, although the example in which the normal symbol variable display device 32 is also a one-digit seven-segment display has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the normal symbol variable display device 32 may be a lamp that displays a missed hit.

  In the above embodiment, an example is described in which the variable display execution information that can specify the execution of variable display by the variable display means (special symbol variable display device 31) is a special symbol determination signal that is output after the symbol of the special symbol is determined. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the variable display execution information may be a start signal that is output when variable display of a special symbol is started.

  In the above embodiment, the example in which the pachinko machine 10 has the function of holding the effective start winning of the special symbol on hold has been described, but not limited to this, the pachinko machine 10 has the hold storage function. It may not be.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the variable winning device 40, the open / close pieces 42, 42 slide outward to be in a first state (open state) advantageous for the player, Although an example has been described in which the opening and closing pieces 42, 42 slid outward are slid inward and returned to their original positions, the second state (closed state) is disadvantageous for the player. The blade member that can be pivoted about the lower end pivots outward from the vertical state to be in the first state, and the blade member that has pivoted outward pivots inward to return to the original vertical state. The second state may be established by returning to step (a).

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the second state that is disadvantageous for the player is a closed state in which the opening 43 is completely closed by the opening and closing pieces 42 and 42 and no pachinko ball is won. Although the example has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second state may be a state in which a part of the opening 43 is closed by the opening and closing pieces 42 and 42 and the pachinko ball is difficult to win.

  In the above embodiment, the solenoid 52a that operates the left distributing member 52 shown in FIG. 6 and the solenoid 62a that operates the right distributing member 62 shown in FIG. Although an example of operation based on the above has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the solenoids 52a and 62a may be operated at all times, and depending on the type of the small hit that is a lottery result based on the small hit start prize. It may be determined whether or not to operate (for example, it is activated when the small hit is once opened and is not activated when the small hit is opened twice).

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, the pachinko balls guided to the advantageous route (chance route guiding path 61 and mountain stage 64) are dammed up by the stopper 65. It takes a relatively long time to enter the winning opening 71, and the pachinko ball guided to the disadvantageous route (the normal route guiding path 51 and the front stage 54) is not dammed on the way. Although an example has been described in which it takes a relatively long time to enter the winning opening 71, not limited to this, it does not take time to win a V on an advantageous route, and it takes time to win a V on an unfavorable route In this case, the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means may determine the time measured by the time measuring means when the jackpot signal is received. Recognizing that a V-winning jackpot has occurred due to an unfavorable route on the condition that the predetermined time has been reached, and that a V-winning jackpot has occurred on the advantageous route on the condition that the time has not reached the predetermined time recognize.

  In the above embodiment, in the specific game state (the first specific game state, the second specific game state), the open / close plate 76 is opened and the special winning opening 77 is opened, so that the player is in an advantageous state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in a specific gaming state, the opening / closing pieces 42 and 42 may be opened to open the opening 43 so that the player can be in an advantageous state. Further, in the first specific gaming state (type 2 big hit = V winning big hit), the opening 43 opens, while in the second specific gaming state (type 1 big hit = direct hit big hit), the big winning port 77 opens. Alternatively, conversely, in the first specific gaming state, the big prize opening 77 may be opened, while in the second specific gaming state, the opening 43 may be opened.

  In the above embodiment, the special game state control means (game control board 81) reduces the variable display time of the normal symbol variable display device 32 and the variable display of the normal symbol variable display device 32 as the specific game state (short time state). Although an example in which all three processes of improving the probability that the result is determined to be a winning symbol and extending the opening time of the opening and closing members 23 and 23 has been described has been explained, one of these three processes is not limited to this. Alternatively, two processes may be performed.

  In the above embodiment, the special game state control means (game control board 81) has the first specific game state (second type big hit = V winning big hit) and the second specific game state (first type big hit = direct hit big hit). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the special game state control means is either the first specific game state or the second specific game state. The specific gaming state may be controlled along with one of them, and in this case, the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means (the control unit 102) may select either the first specific gaming state or the second specific gaming state. On the other hand, it recognizes whether or not it occurred during the special gaming state and whether or not it accompanied the special gaming state, and the specific gaming state occurrence count totaling means (control unit 102) Occurs during a special gaming state First specific game state or the second number of occurrences of a particular game state, and aggregates the first number of occurrences of a particular game state or the second specific game state with a special game state that is the recognition. In other words, the special gaming state control means may be any means that controls the special gaming state in accordance with the first specific gaming state and / or the second specific gaming state, and the specific gaming state occurrence recognition means is the first gaming state control means. Recognizing whether the specific gaming state and / or the second specific gaming state is generated during the special gaming state, and the first specific gaming state and / or the second specific gaming state is the special gaming state. The specific gaming state occurrence count totaling means may generate the first specific gaming state and / or the second specific gaming state that occurred during the recognized special gaming state. What counts the number of times and what counts the number of occurrences of the first specific gaming state and / or the second specific gaming state with the recognized special gaming state may be used. Note that the pachinko machine 10 may not include special game state control means and may not be controlled to the special game state in accordance with the first specific game state or the second specific game state.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the special game state control means (game control board 81) controls to the special game state (short-time state) after the end of the specific game state (big hit state) has been described. It may be controlled to the special game state even during the specific game state. That is, the special game state control means may be any device that controls the special game state in accordance with the specific game state.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in S22 of FIG. 11, the example in which the start operation of the opening and closing pieces 42 and 42 is executed when the gaming state corresponding to the random number value is a small hit has been described. As for the third embodiment, the starting operation of the opening / closing pieces 42 and 42 may be executed even when the gaming state is out of play and big hit.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in S35 and S38 in FIG. 11, the example in which the effect display on the effect display device 41 is performed when the gaming state corresponding to the random number value is out of play and jackpot has been described. However, the effect display may be performed even when the gaming state is a small hit. In the above embodiment, the effect display device 41 is not necessarily provided.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, an example in which not only the number of occurrences of jackpots but also various game related information is tabulated in the information display device (calling lamp device 100) has been described. May be counted not by the information display device but by the terminal device 110, the relay computer 115, the hall computer 120, and the like.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, in the information display device (calling lamp device 100), game-related information for three days of today, the previous day, and the day before the previous day is stored, and the date display LED 107 of FIG. As described above, the example in which the game-related information for the three days can be displayed has been described, but how many days the game-related information can be stored and how many of those days can be displayed is arbitrary. is there.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13B, when a big hit occurs in the normal gaming state, an example in which 1 is counted as the number of consecutive chunks regardless of whether or not the big hit is accompanied by a short-time state ( (Hereinafter referred to as “aggregation method A”.) However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even if a big hit occurs in the normal gaming state, the number of consecutive chunks is not counted. May be counted (hereinafter referred to as “counting method B”).

  Specifically, in this counting method B, as shown in FIG. 25, in the state where the data shown in D0 is displayed in the big hit count display area 104b of the calling lamp device 100, the big hit signal and the big hit / short time signal are displayed. When the occurrence of a big hit (for example, a direct hit big hit) is recognized, 1 is added to the number of occurrences of the big hit, and the type of the big hit is displayed as shown in D1. Next, when the reception of the jackpot signal is finished and the number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds) is recognized and it is recognized that the time is short, as shown in D2, the number of occurrences of the round number is 1. It is added and counted and displayed, and 1 is counted and displayed as the number of consecutive chunks. Next, a big hit signal is received during reception of a big hit / short-time signal, and the occurrence of a big hit (for example, V winning big hit) is recognized. When done As shown in D3, with 1 to occurrence count per the large is aggregated and displayed is added, 1 to communicate Zhang count is aggregated and displayed is added. At the timing of D2, the reception of the big hit / short time signal together with the big hit signal is terminated, and when it is recognized that there is no short time, the display returns to the display of D0 without counting and displaying the continuous number of times. In other words, the specific game state occurrence count totaling means (control unit 102) determines the normal game state from the big hit with the short time state generated in the normal game state based on the special game state information (hit / short time signal). It is only necessary to count the number of hits that have occurred to date as the number of consecutive chunks. When a big hit that does not involve a short-time state occurs in the normal gaming state, the number of consecutive hits is not counted for that jackpot. It may be.

  That is, in the above embodiment, based on the counting method A, as shown in FIG. 16 (a), an example in which the number of consecutive hits is displayed in the big hit number display area 104b, that is, the big hit that occurred in the normal gaming state is in the short-time state Although an example (hereinafter referred to as “display pattern A”) in which 1 is displayed as the number of consecutive chunks when a big hit occurs has been described, regardless of whether or not it is accompanied, 25, as shown in FIG. 25, the number of consecutive chunks is displayed in the jackpot number display area 104b, that is, the number of consecutive chunks is 1 after the jackpot is completed only when the big hit occurring in the normal gaming state is accompanied by a short-time state. May be displayed (hereinafter referred to as “display pattern B”). Although not shown, the number of consecutive hits is displayed in the big hit number display area 104b. , Communicating Chang count is displayed only in big hit history display area 104c (hereinafter, referred to as "display pattern C".) As may be.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16 (b), the big hit without the short-time state that occurs in the normal gaming state is also regarded as one unit of continuous change in the big hit history display area 104c. Although an example in which 1 is displayed (hereinafter referred to as “display pattern a”) has been described, instead of this, although not shown, a big hit without a short-time state occurring in a normal gaming state is Instead of being a unit, 1 may not be displayed as the history of consecutive chunks in the jackpot history display area 104c (hereinafter referred to as “display pattern b”), and the number of consecutive chunks in the jackpot history display area 104c. The history may not be displayed (hereinafter referred to as “display pattern c”).

  In the above embodiment, the example in which the display contents on the display 104 are the display patterns A and a has been described. Instead, the display patterns A and b, A and c, B and a, and B And b, B and c, C and a, and C and b. That is, it is only necessary that the number of consecutive chants is displayed in at least one of the big hit number display area 104b or the big hit history display area 104c.

  In the above embodiment, the example in which the start count is displayed as a bar graph in the jackpot history shown in FIG. 16B has been described, but the start count may be displayed as a number. Further, the example in which the number of consecutive chunks is displayed as a number has been described, but the number of consecutive chunks may be displayed as a bar graph.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14 and the like, the special gaming state information includes a big hit signal output during the big hit state and a big hit / short time signal output during the big hit state and the short time state. Although an example has been described, instead of the jackpot / short time signal, the short time signal may be output only during the short time state. In this case, only the short time signal is output in the special gaming state. Corresponds to medium information. Then, the specific gaming state occurrence count totalizing means is based on the short time signal, from the big hit with the short time state generated in the normal gaming state, to the reception of the short time signal (that is, until the next normal gaming state). The number of occurrences of jackpots that have occurred is counted. Specifically, if a time-short signal is received after the end of the jackpot that occurred in the normal gaming state, 1 is counted as the number of consecutive chunks, and the jackpot is received during reception of the time-short state. When a signal is received, the number of consecutive chunks is added and counted.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14 and the like, an example in which the jackpot signal that is the specific gaming state specifying information is a signal that is continuously output during the jackpot state has been described. The specific gaming state specifying information is such that when a big hit state occurs, a pulsed big hit signal (generated pulse) indicating the occurrence of the big hit state is output, and when the big hit state ends, the end of the big hit state A pulse-like big hit signal (end pulse) may be output.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 18, the example of recognizing the type of jackpot based on the prize winning signal that is the start operation execution signal has been described. However, instead of the prize winning signal, the type of jackpot may be recognized based on a bonus release signal that is start operation execution information.

  Specifically, the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means in the first embodiment (FIG. 14) is based on receiving the jackpot signal without receiving the special symbol confirmation signal after receiving the accessory release signal. Recognizing that the first specific gaming state (V winning jackpot) has occurred, and receiving the jackpot signal without receiving the bonus release signal after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal, the second What is necessary is just to recognize that the specific game state (direct hit big hit) has occurred. That is, the variable winning device 40 performs a starting operation (opening of an accessory) that changes from the second state (the state in which the opening and closing pieces 42, 42 are closed) to the first state (the state in which the opening / closing pieces 42 are opened). When the pachinko ball that has entered the variable prize winning device 40 wins the V prize opening 71, the special symbol variable display is not started or stopped during the period from the opening of the character to the V prize. If you receive a jackpot signal without receiving a special symbol confirmation signal after receiving an accessory release signal, you can recognize that a V winning jackpot has occurred, but stop after the special symbol variable display starts When a direct hit jackpot occurs, no bonus release is executed during the period from the stop of the variable symbol display of the special symbol to the occurrence of the direct bonus jackpot, so without receiving the bonus release signal after receiving the special symbol confirmation signal. Big hit When receiving the signal can recognize the hit jackpot occurs.

  The specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means (FIG. 22) in the modification of the first embodiment (FIG. 22) is based on the fact that the jackpot signal is received without receiving the start winning signal after receiving the accessory release signal. Based on receiving the jackpot signal without receiving the bonus release signal after receiving the start winning signal, the second specific game state (V winning jackpot) is recognized. What is necessary is just to recognize that the specific gaming state (direct hit big hit) of has occurred. That is, the variable winning device 40 performs a starting operation (opening of an accessory) that changes from the second state (the state in which the opening and closing pieces 42, 42 are closed) to the first state (the state in which the opening / closing pieces 42 are opened). When the pachinko ball that has entered the variable prize winning device 40 wins the V prize opening 71, the period from the opening of the accessory to the V prize is as short as about 4 to 6 seconds. Since the possibility of winning is low, if a jackpot signal is received without receiving a start winning signal after receiving an accessory release signal, it can be recognized that a V winning jackpot has occurred. If there is an object opening and a direct hit jackpot based on the next starting prize occurs, the period from the first starting prize to the opening of the accessory is as short as about 1 second, and the next starting prize may occur during the period The start winning signal of the next start winning When receiving the jackpot signal without receiving the character object opening signal after signal can recognize the hit jackpot occurs.

  That is, as described in FIG. 22B, the start winning signal * 20 is received, the bonus release signal * 21 corresponding to the start winning signal * 20 is received, and the next start winning signal * 30 is received. When the jackpot signal * 22 corresponding to the bonus release signal * 21 is received, that is, the period from the bonus release (reception of the bonus release signal * 21) to the V prize (reception of the bonus hit signal * 22) When the next start prize (start prize signal * 30) is received, the big hit of the jackpot signal * 22 is not the original V prize jackpot corresponding to the start prize signal * 20 but the start prize signal * 30. Although it will be mistakenly recognized as the corresponding direct hit big hit, the period from the release of the character to the V prize is as short as about 4 to 6 seconds as described above. Because it is rare, the V winning jackpot is almost exactly It can be recognized as no. In order to recognize that a V-winning jackpot has completely occurred even in such a situation, it is preferable to use a special symbol confirmation signal instead of the start winning signal as a signal for recognizing the type of jackpot.

  Further, as described in FIG. 22C, the start winning signal * 40 is received from the pachinko machine 10 having the function of holding the effective start winning of the special symbol on hold, and the start winning signal * 40 corresponds to the start winning signal * 40. Upon receiving the bonus release signal * 41, the next startup prize signal * 50 (start prize used for variable display of special symbols after the pachinko ball detected at * 41 is detected by the bonus discharge switch 72a) Further, the next start winning signal * 60 (start winning used for variable symbol special display after the variable display by * 50 is finished) is received, and the bonus release signal corresponding to the start winning signal * 50 is received. When * 51 is received and a jackpot signal * 62 corresponding to the start prize signal * 60 is received, that is, from the start prize (start prize signal * 50) to the feature release (function release signal * 51). In period If a direct hit big hit (big hit signal * 62) is generated by the next start win, the big hit of the big hit signal * 62 corresponds to the start winning signal * 60 Will be mistakenly recognized as a V winning big hit corresponding to the bonus release signal * 51 corresponding to the start winning signal * 50, not the original direct hit big hit, Since the period is as short as about 1 second as described above, such a situation is rare, so it can be recognized that a direct hit jackpot has occurred almost accurately. In order to recognize that a direct hit big hit has occurred even in such a situation, it is preferable to use a special symbol confirmation signal instead of the start winning signal as a signal for recognizing the type of big hit.

  The time measuring means in the second embodiment (FIG. 18) starts time counting based on the reception of the accessory release signal, and the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means receives the jackpot signal and the time measured by the time measuring means Recognizing that the first specific gaming state has occurred on the condition that the predetermined time has not been reached in advance, and on the condition that the time has reached the predetermined time, the second specific gaming state is What is necessary is just to recognize that it occurred. Further, the specifying means in the modification of the second embodiment (FIG. 23) specifies the time from receiving the bonus release signal to receiving the jackpot signal as the determination time, and the specific gaming state occurrence recognizing means is the jackpot When the signal is received, it is recognized that the first specific gaming state has occurred on the condition that the determination time specified by the specifying means has not reached the predetermined time, and the determination time is the predetermined time. What is necessary is just to recognize that the 2nd specific game state generate | occur | produced on the condition that it has reached | attained. That is, the variable winning device 40 performs a starting operation (opening of an accessory) that changes from the second state (the state in which the opening and closing pieces 42, 42 are closed) to the first state (the state in which the opening / closing pieces 42 are opened). Thus, when a pachinko ball that has entered the prize-winning device 40 at the time of opening of the prize (winning prize for prize) wins the V prize opening 71, the period from the opening of the prize until the V prize is about 7 seconds at most (role On the other hand, it was longer than the period from the prize winning to the V winning a prize), but on the other hand, the prize was released, but no prize was generated at the opening of the prize, and the following special symbols could be changed. When a direct hit jackpot is generated by the display, the period from the release of an accessory to the occurrence of a direct hit jackpot is at least about 17 seconds, so the predetermined time is set between 7 seconds and 17 seconds (for example, 12 seconds). As described above, the occurrence of the V winning jackpot and the direct It can be recognized to distinguish between the occurrence of the jackpot.

  In the second embodiment described above, as shown in S203 of FIG. 19, the timing means starts timing based on the reception of the prize winning signal, and continues counting until the next prize winning signal is received. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and timing may be stopped when a big hit signal is received. Further, when the predetermined time (here, 15 seconds) is counted, the timing may be stopped. In this case, in S204, it is determined whether the timing is stopped, and the timing is stopped. (I.e., the timed time has reached the predetermined time), the process proceeds to S111, and the timed time is not stopped (i.e., the timed time has not reached the predetermined time), the process proceeds to S163.

  In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), whether the route is an advantageous route or an unfavorable route is recognized based on the time t from the reception of the special symbol confirmation signal to the reception of the jackpot signal. As in the first and second embodiments, a timer different from the timer of S303 is provided, and an advantageous route or an unfavorable route is determined based on the time measured from the reception of the prize winning signal to the reception of the jackpot signal. You may make it recognize.

  In the third embodiment described above, as shown in S303 of FIG. 21, the timing means starts timing based on the reception of the special symbol confirmation signal, and continues timing until the next special symbol confirmation signal is received. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and timing may be stopped when a big hit signal is received. In addition, when the predetermined time (here 1 second) is timed, the time measurement may be stopped. In this case, in S204, it is determined whether or not the time measurement is stopped, and the time measurement is not stopped. (I.e., the timed time has not reached the predetermined time), the process proceeds to S111, and the timed time is stopped (i.e., the timed time has reached the predetermined time), the process proceeds to S163.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17 (a), the example in which the number of occurrences of jackpots occurring during the short-time state is separately counted for the direct hit jackpot and the V winning jackpot has been described. The number of occurrences of the direct hit jackpot and V winning jackpot that occurred during the short time period may be summed up.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17A, an example has been described in which the number of occurrences of a big hit with a short time state is separately counted for a direct hit big hit and a V winning big hit, but this is not limiting. The number of occurrences of the direct hit jackpot with the short time and the V winning jackpot may be summed up.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the output unit is the display 124 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the output unit may be, for example, a printer. In addition, game-related information is provided to a game company on a website that publishes the game-related information or a terminal device that is installed at a predetermined location in a game arcade and publishes the game-related information to a player.
