  Next, the control system of the pachinko machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. That is, the present control system includes a main board 41 and a sub board 42 connected to the main board 41. The main board 41 manages the entire operation of the pachinko machine 1 in an integrated manner, and includes a system program for managing the entire operation of the pachinko machine 1 and a semiconductor memory in which a game execution program is stored in advance. A storage unit (not shown) and a microprocessor (MPU) (not shown) that executes these programs are provided.

  The main board 41 includes a winning determination unit 31, a winning signal output unit 32, a first lottery unit 33, a second lottery unit 34, a game control unit 35, a holding unit 36, an operation control unit 37, an operation determination unit 38, and an operation determination. Means 39 are provided. The main board 41 is connected to the figure drive motor 17 and the attacker opening / closing solenoid 40.

  In the winning determination means 31, a game ball Ba launched into the game area 7a by a launching device (not shown) operated by operating the launching handle 9 is a start chucker 12A, winning openings 29 and 30, or an attacker (not shown). ), It is determined that there has been a prize.

  The winning signal output means 32 outputs a winning signal indicating that winning has been won in the corresponding starter chucker 12A, winning holes 29 and 30, and an attacker (not shown) when winning determination is determined by the winning determination means 31.

  When the winning signal is input from the winning signal output means 32, the first lottery means 33 is an advantageous addition that is advantageous to the player until the next jackpot is won with the winning with less than the maximum number of reserved balls (for example, four) Obtain a winning random number from a lottery memory (not shown) so that one of the probability fluctuations that can give value is won and the normal hit that does not become the special state. Run a lottery.

  The second lottery means 34 is a lottery based on a random number of effects stored in an effect memory (not shown) in the case of winning a big hit lottery in the first lottery means 33. The variation pattern that the symbols such as “111”, “333”, and “777” are finally aligned on the jackpot valid line is determined, and the variation pattern command to that effect is output. The “big hit effective line” means a position (line) where symbols should be arranged in a row in order to obtain a big hit. Further, the second lottery means 34 is a lottery based on the production random number value in the case of the normal winning lottery in the first lottery means 33, and “222”, “444” or “ A variation pattern indicating that symbols such as “888” are finally aligned on the jackpot valid line is determined, and this variation pattern command is output. In addition, when the second lottery means 34 is lost by the big hit lottery in the first lottery means 33, it is a lottery based on the production random number value, and “252”, “464”, “838”, etc. corresponding to the loss as a result of fluctuation. The variation pattern that the symbols are finally aligned on the jackpot active line is determined, and this variation pattern command is output.

  The game control means 35 displays a signal relating to the contents of the effect to be displayed on the symbol display device 6 in accordance with the preset effect data and the lottery result in the second lottery means 34 together with the control command. 44.

  The holding means 36 inputs the variation pattern command output from the second lottery means 34, and sequentially stores the results of the lottery performed each time a winning is made to the starting chucker 12A provided in the figure F as a holding ball. The storage status is lit and displayed as, for example, a maximum of four reserved balls on a reserved ball display unit (not shown) provided in the symbol display device 6. For example, the holding means 36 always determines whether or not the number H of held balls is 0 <H <5. While the number H of four held balls is displayed, it is a big hit regardless of winning the starting chucker 12A. There will be no lottery. Note that the number of reserved balls that are lit and displayed as the reserved balls is not limited to the “maximum of four”, but may be set as appropriate, for example, three or less, or five or more.

  The hold means 36 sequentially outputs the fluctuation pattern commands that are held (stored), and prevents the next fluctuation pattern command from being output until the effect display based on the output fluctuation pattern commands is completed. A variation prohibition flag is set (turned on), and a symbol variation timer (not shown) for measuring the time for releasing the turned symbol variation prohibition flag is set, and the number of held balls according to the transmission of the variation pattern command Is decremented by 1. Further, the holding means 36 indicates the result of the jackpot lottery in response to the winning to the starting chucker 12A performed by the first lottery means 33 when the number H of held balls becomes H <4 according to the consumption of the reserved balls. And the number of reserved balls is incremented by one.

  The operation control means 37 sends a drive signal to the figure drive motor 17 based on the signal indicating the operation start decision of the action decision means 39 to rotate the motor 17 to rotate the arm portion 12B of the figure F up and down. Make it work. Further, the operation control means 37 sends a drive signal to the attacker opening / closing solenoid 40 to actuate the solenoid 40 and open an attacker (not shown) when a big hit occurs due to the lottery in the first lottery means 33 to win a predetermined number of prizes. Control is performed such that the closing operation is repeated a predetermined number of times (predetermined rounds) every time the process ends (or a predetermined time elapses).

  The operation determination means 38 determines whether or not a condition for operating the figure drive motor 17 and the attacker open / close solenoid 40 is satisfied. That is, in the figure drive motor 17, when “the condition is satisfied” of the vertical rotation of the arm portion 12 </ b> B of the figure F, it is a case where the player holds the firing handle 9 and rotates it at an appropriate angle. In the attacker open / close solenoid 40, when “conditions” for opening an attacker (not shown) are met, three same symbols are aligned on the jackpot effective line from the state of so-called reach (including so-called super reach and normal reach). This is a case where a jackpot has occurred, and when “a condition is satisfied” for closing an attacker (not shown), this is a case where all winnings at the time of jackpot occurrence have been completed.

  The operation determining means 39 receives the determination signal from the operation determining means 38 and determines the operation start of the figure drive motor 17 and the attacker opening / closing solenoid 40.

  The figure drive motor 17 rotates the pinion gear 25 described later in response to the drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 37 to rotate the arm 12B upward as shown in FIG. The arm 12B is rotated in the horizontal direction as shown in FIG.

  The attacker opening / closing solenoid 40 opens and closes an attacker (not shown) by moving a plunger (not shown) forward and backward in response to the drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 37.

  On the other hand, the sub-board 42 has an effect control means 43 and a display control means 44, and the sound emitting device 8, the effect lighting device 23, and the symbol display device 6 are connected to the sub-board 42.

  The effect control means 43 drives the sound emitting device 8 and the effect lighting device 23 in a timely manner according to the signal supplied from the microprocessor in the main board 41, and performs an effect display appealing to the player's hearing and vision.

  The display control means 44 drives the symbol display device 6 in a timely manner in accordance with the signal related to the effect contents transmitted from the game control means 35, and displays the effect so as to appeal the player's vision to the result of the big hit lottery.

  As described above, the sound emitting device 8, the effect lighting device 23, and the symbol display device 6 perform a normal effect or a special effect at the time of a big hit by using sound, light, and image display in response to each control. Do.

  Here, the structure of the figure F having the start chucker 12A and the center decoration 12 having the figure F, which are features of the present invention, will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a figure model imitating a so-called heel shape is provided on the upper part of the center ornament 12, and a cylindrical throat is provided on the upper part. An opening (warp introduction port) 20 having an inner diameter (for example, 12 to 13 [mm]) enough to allow one game ball to enter is opened upward at the entrance of the mouth. In addition, left and right openings connected to the guide paths 16 provided at the left and right ends in the center decoration 12 are provided inside the bag, and the game balls Ba entering the warp introduction port 20 are always guided by the guide paths 16. The game ball Ba guided to the guide path 16 is always configured to roll down to an exit region C indicated by a one-dot chain line in the figure.

  And the figure F is provided in the lower part of the center ornament 12, and the arm part 12B is vertically moved so as to allow or block the winning of the game ball Ba to the starting chucker 12A according to the driving of the figure drive motor 17. It is configured to rotate.

  Accordingly, when a player who is seated facing the pachinko machine 1 holds the launch handle 9 and rotates it to an appropriate angle, the game ball is played at predetermined time intervals by the operation of the launch device (not shown). While being continuously fired toward 7a, the figure drive motor 17 is also operated, and the arm portion 12B of the figure F is rotated up and down at any time.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the drive mechanism of the figure F includes a figure drive motor 17 disposed in the front-rear direction of the figure F (front-back direction of the paper) and a lower part of the center decoration 12. Drive gears 26 and 27 fixed to the left and right arm portions 12B rotatably supported by the support shafts 46 and 47, a transmission gear 48 meshed between the drive gear 26 and the pinion gear 25, and a drive And an idle gear 50 that is meshed between the gear 27 and the transmission gear 48. The transmission gear 48 and the idle gear 50 are spur gears having the same number of teeth, the drive gears 26 and 27 are also spur gears having the same number of teeth, and the drive gears 26 and 27 are both transmission gears. 48 and the drive gear 50 are formed larger in diameter. The figure drive motor 17 is composed of a pulse motor (stepping motor).

  Therefore, when the figure drive motor 17 starts to rotate under the control of the operation control means 37, the pinion gear 25 fixed to the rotation shaft 17a of the motor 17 responds to the number of pulses given from the operation control means 37. Thus, the transmission gear 48 and the idle gear 50 rotate in one direction around the respective support shafts 49 and 51, and the drive gears 26 and 27 oppose each other about the respective support shafts 46 and 47. Once it is rotated in the direction of a predetermined angle, it stops once. Subsequently, the figure drive motor 17 is rotated in the reverse direction under the control of the operation control means 37, the drive gears 26 and 27 are rotated in the reverse direction, and once stopped at a predetermined angle. By continuing these pivoting operations, the left and right arm portions 12B of the figure F repeatedly enter and retreat with respect to the guide path 16. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the exit region C of the guide path 16 has a notch 16a, and the notch 16a provides a space in which the arm 12B can turn the guide path 16 up and down. It has been.

  In the present embodiment, the front side of the guide path 16 is covered with a translucent plate member having a predetermined pattern up to the notch 16a of the exit area C, and the guide path 16 is curved into a tube shape as a whole. Alternatively, the front side can be covered with the plate member, and the guide path 16 can be formed into a curved rain gutter shape as a whole.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), when the arm portion 12B rotates and comes into contact with the game ball Ba in the exit area C, the game ball Ba is shown in FIG. 6 (b). , Falls from the guideway 16. Further, when the arm portion 12B is not in the exit area C, the game ball Ba rolls on the guide path 16 without any obstacle, and enters the starting chucker 12A located on the back side of the body portion 12C of the starting winning portion F. Win a prize. It should be noted that in ordinary pachinko machines, a pair of obstacle nails as so-called life nails are often driven directly above the starting chucker, and the game ball passing between the nails is almost certainly (that is, 97% to The pachinko machine 1 is configured to win a starter chucker (with a probability of 99%). However, in this pachinko machine 1, in order to obtain the same function as the configuration by the operation of the arm part 12B of the figure F, the arm part 12B If the game ball Ba is not obstructed by the path, a situation where the winning chucker 12A is surely won and a situation where the arm 12B does not block the path of the game ball Ba are displayed, and both situations are mixed. As a result, winnings with a probability of 97% to 99% are realized.

  In addition, among a large number of game balls launched into the game area 7a of the game board 7, there is a case where a winning is made through the warp introduction port 20 as described above, but it is not shown without going through the warp introduction port 20. There are also cases where a winner falls by rolling down near the starting chucker 12A along the road nail or the like. On the other hand, in addition to winning the starting chucker 12A, among the many game balls Ba that are launched into the game area 7a of the game board 7 and roll and fall, Some of them fall and roll without being involved, and are discharged to the back side of the game board 7 through the out port 22 at the bottom of the game area 7a.

  Here, when there is a ball entering the starting chucker 12A in the above-described operating state of the figure F, the winning determination means 31 determines the winning and the winning signal output means 32 outputs a winning signal. The holding means 36 always determines whether or not the holding ball H is 0 <H <5. When it is determined that 0 <H <5 is satisfied, the holding variation pattern command is changed to the game control means. 35, the symbol change prohibition flag is turned on, the symbol change timer is set, and the number of reserved balls is decremented by 1 in response to the transmission of the change pattern command. The holding means 36 holds the result of the jackpot lottery according to the winning to the starting chucker 12A performed by the first lottery means 33 when the number H of held balls becomes H <4 according to the consumption of the reserved balls. Store as a sphere and increment the number of held balls by one. If the first lottery means 33 turns on the winning flag in the case of winning the big hit lottery, the second lottery means 34 performs a lottery based on the effect random number stored in the effect memory (not shown). That is, the variation pattern corresponding to the probability variation or the normal variation is determined.

  Thereby, the winning symbol to be displayed on the symbol display device 6 is set, and the second lottery means 34 outputs a variation pattern command to that effect and continues until the effect display based on the variation pattern command ends. The symbol variation prohibition flag is turned on to prevent the transmission of the variation pattern command, and the symbol variation timer is set to measure the time to release the turned on symbol variation prohibition flag. And decrement the number of held balls by one. On the other hand, when the winning is a lottery lottery, a variation pattern is determined in which lottery based on a random number value stored in the effect memory results in the final matching of symbols corresponding to the loss as a result of the variation. Thereby, the off symbol displayed on the symbol display device 6 is set, the second lottery means 34 outputs a variation pattern command to that effect, turns on the symbol variation prohibition flag, sets the symbol variation timer, The number of held balls is decremented by 1 in response to the transmission of the fluctuation pattern command.

  As described above, based on the fact that the game control means 35 transmits a signal relating to the contents of effects to be displayed on the symbol display device 6 together with the control command to the display control means 44 of the sub-board 42, the display control means 44 The display device 6 is driven in a timely manner, and the contents related to the jackpot lottery result are displayed so as to appeal to the player's vision.

  When the lottery result of the first lottery means 33 appears on the screen of the symbol display device 6, the operation control means 37 opens and closes the attacker at a predetermined timing based on the signal indicating the operation start decision of the operation decision means 39. A drive signal is sent to the solenoid 40 to activate the solenoid 40 to open an attacker (not shown), and a predetermined number of rounds (predetermined rounds) that are closed every time a predetermined number of winnings are completed (or a predetermined time elapses). ). As a result, a large amount of game balls corresponding to the game balls won in the attacker 17 are paid out from the ball supply port 18 to the upper plate 13.

  In the embodiment described above, the figure F having the starting chucker 12A is formed in a shape that is easy to transfer emotions such as characters, so that it is possible to attract the attention of the player and increase the sense of familiarity. It becomes possible to contribute to the improvement of interest.

  In addition, since the player can play the game ball Ba with the interest and expectation of the rolling motion of the game ball Ba introduced from the warp introduction port 20, until then, such as a pachinko machine Attention can be drawn to inexperienced persons who have never tried a game, so that the width of a player layer such as a pachinko machine can be widened. Furthermore, not only the production of the figure F but also the starter chucker 12A is provided and can be used to realize an inexpensive pachinko machine 1 and increase sales of pachinko parlors.
