  Here, the gaming member 21 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of the gaming member 21 as viewed from the front. 3A is an explanatory view of the gaming member 21 viewed from the right side, and FIG. 3B is an explanatory view showing a state where the right side wall 27 of the gaming member 21 is in the open position. . Further, FIG. 4A is a perspective view showing the gaming member 21, and FIG. 4B is a perspective view showing a state in which the right side wall 27 is in an open position.

The game member 21 is fitted and installed in a game board that forms the game area 2, and includes a bottom plate 23, and a plurality of obstacle walls (obstacle members) 24, 24,. It consists of a main body integrally formed with a left side wall 25 that closes the left side, and a right side wall 27 that is attached so that the right side of the main body can be opened and closed. The portion sandwiched between the left side wall 25 and the right side wall 27 is a game ball passage, and the upper end (inlet) and the lower end (discharge port) of the game ball passage are always open so that the game ball can flow in and out. It has become a state.
The bottom plate 23 is a thin plate-like body curved to the right side, and has a thickness such that the surface of the bottom plate 23 is flush with the game board when fitted into the game board.

The obstacle walls 24, 24,... Are arranged in a staggered manner so that the game balls that have flowed into the game member 21 can be guided downward while rolling left and right. Three steps of obstacle walls 24 are erected on the right side and the right side. Further, each obstacle wall 24 erected on the right side has a protruding portion 28 protruding to the right side of the bottom plate 23 and can be fitted into a notch 29 of the right side wall 27 described later. . Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the upper surface of each obstacle wall 24 is formed as an inclined surface so that the thickness of the obstacle wall 24 gradually decreases toward the center side of the game ball passage. .
The left side wall 25 is erected integrally from the bottom plate 23 so as to block between the obstacle walls 24, 24... Erected on the left side of the bottom plate 23. It is formed substantially the same as the obstacle wall 24.

  On the other hand, the right side wall 27 is a thin plate-like body formed in a curved shape along the right side of the bottom plate 23, and is provided with notches 29, 29...

Reference numeral 35 denotes a launching device for driving a game ball into the game area 2 when the launching handle 19 is rotated.

(2) Game Member and Pachinko Machine Control Mechanism of Example FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a control mechanism of the pachinko machine 1.
The main control board 31 has a main MPU (Micro Processing Unit) 40 incorporating a storage means such as ROM and RAM and a CPU, an interface 41, a timer 42, and the like, and the game ball payout device 34 via the interface 41. Each of the winning devices such as a game ball detecting means 36 for detecting the winning of the game ball at the start winning port 8, a driving device 39 for operating the right side wall 27 of the gaming member 21, and the ordinary electric accessory 5 and the winning device 22 Are connected to each of the actuating devices 38 for actuating movable prize-winning devices such as the prize-winning detection device 37, the ordinary electric accessory 5 and the big prize-winning device 7. The main control board 31 is connected to the symbol control board 33 via the sub-integrated board 43.

The main control board 31 includes an a counter for determining the “winning” of the normal symbol, a b counter for determining the “missing symbol” of the normal symbol, and a random number generating means for determining the occurrence of the “big hit” c Counter (big hit determination counter), d, e, f counter for determining “determined display special symbol” which is a “special symbol” that is finally displayed on the symbol display unit 3 in the case of “lack” in “lottery” The g counter that determines the “basic variation mode” (mainly the time for which the symbol variation is continued), which is the basic variation mode when the “special symbol” is displayed in a variable manner in the symbol display unit 3, A loop counter such as a p counter for determining a “definite display special symbol (special symbol)” to be displayed on the symbol display unit 3 when it occurs is incorporated.
Each loop counter counts a loop while adding one by one within a very short time (1 interrupt 2.000 ms) according to a predetermined rule from the time of power-on (the maximum value is followed by the minimum value) Back to).

  Further, the main MPU 40 of the main control board 31 has a “missing symbol” corresponding to the value of the b counter, a “definite display special symbol” corresponding to the values of the d, e, and f counters, and a “counter symbol corresponding to the value of the p counter. The “definite display special symbol”, “basic variation mode (“ first to fifth basic variation patterns ”) corresponding to the numerical value of the g counter, and the like are stored.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the sub-integrated board 43 includes an integrated MPU 45, an interface 44, a timer 46, and the like. The integrated MPU 45 is connected to the main MPU 40 of the main control board 31 and the symbol display MPU 51 of the symbol control board 33 via the interface 44.
Each MPU incorporates a storage means such as a ROM and a RAM and a CPU.

The sub-integrated board 43 displays the same “determined display demo symbol” on the left display unit 10 and the right display unit 11 (hereinafter, this display mode is referred to as “reach” display) at the time of “displacement”. H counter (detailed variation mode determination counter) for determining the “detailed variation mode” when the “special symbol” is variably displayed on the symbol display unit 3 (except for the case of “displacement” later), “reach” is displayed. When a “big hit” occurs, a loop counter such as an i-counter (detailed variation mode determination counter) for determining a “detailed variation mode” when the “special symbol” is variably displayed on the symbol display unit 3 is incorporated.
Each of the loop counters also performs a loop count while adding one by one within a very short time (one interrupt 2.000 ms) according to a predetermined rule from the time of power-on (minimum next to the maximum value). Return to value).

  Further, the integrated MPU 45 includes a “detailed variation mode” (first to fifth detailed variation patterns) corresponding to the value of the h counter, and a “detailed variation mode” (first to fifth detailed variations) corresponding to the value of the i counter. Pattern) and the like are stored.

  On the other hand, the symbol control board 33 has a symbol display MPU 51, an interface 50, and the like, and is connected to the symbol display device 4 and the integrated MPU 45 of the sub-integrated substrate 43 through the interface 50. And the display mode of the special symbol in the symbol display part 3 is controlled by control of symbol display MPU51.

(3) Operational Contents of Game Member and Pachinko Machine of Example Hereinafter, the operational contents of the pachinko machine 1 will be described. When the launch handle 19 is turned by the player, the launching device 35 drives a game ball into the game area 2. When the game balls that have been placed win various prize openings, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out by the game ball payout device 34 as prize balls.

  Further, when the game ball that has been driven into the game area 2 wins the start winning opening 8, the winning is detected by the game ball detecting means 36 built in the start winning opening 8, and the main control board 31 detects the win. A signal is transmitted. When the main control board 31 receives the winning detection signal, the driving device 39 is operated after a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), and the right side wall 27 of the gaming member 21 is set to the open position for a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds). To do. When the right side wall 27 is in the open position, the gaming balls flowing down in the gaming member 21 pass through the winning opening 30 with a high probability and win into the winning device 22. When a game ball wins the winning device 22, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out by the game ball paying device 34 as prize balls.

  On the other hand, when the game ball driven into the game area 2 passes through the left gate 14 or the right gate 15, the “normal symbol” displayed on the normal symbol display 6 starts to change. Further, at the timing when the game ball passes the left gate 14 or the right gate 15, one numerical value is acquired from the numerical values counted by the a counter (random number is acquired). Then, it is determined what the numerical value acquired in the main MPU 40 is, and when it is determined that the numerical value is a predetermined 10 numerical values, it is “winning”. On the other hand, in other cases (the remaining 90 patterns), the result is “out of” (hereinafter, such a determination as to whether or not “winning” is referred to as “winning determination”).

  When it is determined that the “winning determination” is “winning”, after a predetermined time (for example, about 29 seconds) from the start of fluctuation of the “normal symbol”, the normal symbol display 6 displays a predetermined “winning symbol” ( For example, “7”) is displayed, and the ordinary electric accessory 5 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, about 0.5 seconds) (the upper end of the movable member is separated). The ordinary electric accessory 5 can win a game ball even at the closing time, although it has a lower probability than at the opening time.

  If it is determined that the result of the “hit determination” is “missing”, the “missing symbol” corresponding to the value acquired by the b counter is set as a new “ordinary symbol” for a predetermined time from the start of fluctuation of the “normal symbol”. It is displayed on the normal symbol display 6 later. When a game ball passes through the left gate 14 or the right gate 15 during the fluctuation of the “normal symbol” or during the opening of the ordinary electric accessory 5, a predetermined number (as a variation memory for changing the “normal symbol” after the next time ( For example, up to four) are stored.

  When a game ball wins the opened or closed ordinary electric accessory 5, the winning is detected by the winning detection device 37 built in the ordinary electric accessory 5 and won on the main control board 31. A detection signal is transmitted. When the main control board 31 receives the winning detection signal, the c to g counter and the p counter each acquire one numerical value from among the numerical values that are loop-counted (acquire random numbers). The acquisition of numerical values by the c to g counter and the p counter is referred to as “lottery”. Thereafter, the main MPU 40 temporarily stores the numerical values acquired by the respective counters.

In the above “lottery”, when the c counter acquires a predetermined “big hit random number”, “big hit” occurs, while when a numerical value other than “big hit random number” is acquired, it becomes “out of place”. When the “lottery” results in “big hit”, the main MPU 40 calls the “determined display special symbol” corresponding to the acquired value of the p counter in “lottery”. That is, when the “big hit” occurs, the “definite display special symbol” corresponding to the acquired value of the p counter is finally displayed on each display unit 10 to 12 of the symbol display unit 3.
On the other hand, if the result of the “lottery” is “out of”, the main MPU 40 calls a “definite display special symbol” corresponding to the acquired values of the d, e, and f counters in the “lottery”. That is, in the case of “displacement”, the symbol display unit 3 finally corresponds to the acquired value of the d counter in the left display unit 10, the e counter in the right display unit 11, and the f counter in the middle display unit 12. The “definite display special symbol” is displayed.

  Further, the main MPU 40 determines whether the “lottery” from among the “basic variation modes” (“any of the first to fifth basic variation patterns”) regardless of the income value (“big hit” or “out of”) of the c counter. Call the one corresponding to the acquired value of the g counter. Thereafter, a “primary command” including the contents of the called “determined display special symbol” and “basic variation mode” is transmitted from the main control board 31 to the sub integrated board 43.

  When the sub-integrated board 43 receives the “primary command”, the integrated MPU 45 temporarily stores the contents, and the h and i counters that are detailed variation mode determination counters select one of the numerical values that are loop-counted. Get a numerical value (get a random number). Here, when it is determined that a “big hit” has occurred as a result of determining the content of the “definite display special symbol” included in the “primary command”, and when it is determined that “reach” is displayed although it is “out of place” The integrated MPU 45 calls a “detailed variation mode” (any one of “first to fifth detailed variation patterns”) corresponding to the acquired value of the i counter. On the other hand, if it is determined that the content of the “definite display special symbol” included in the “primary command” is “out of” and does not display “reach”, the integrated MPU 45 determines that the h counter “Detailed variation mode” (any one of “first to fifth detailed variation patterns”) corresponding to the acquired numerical value is called.

Thereafter, the “symbol display command” including the contents of the “detailed variation mode” and the “basic variation mode” and “definite display special symbol” included in the “primary command” is transferred from the sub-integrated board 43 to the symbol control board. 33.
When the integrated MPU 45 receives a new “primary command” from the main control board 31, the integrated MPU 45 overwrites and updates the contents to perform a new process.

When receiving the “symbol display command”, the symbol control board 33 is displayed on each of the display units 10 to 12 according to the “basic variation mode” and the “detail variation mode” included in the received “symbol display command”. After the “special symbol” is changed for a predetermined time (for example, 24 seconds), the “determined special symbol” is displayed (determined and displayed).
If the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory 5 while the “special symbol” is changing or during the “hit state” described later, a predetermined number of “starting memories” for changing the “special symbol” later. (For example, four) are stored, and the memory lamps 16, 16,.

  Then, when the “special symbol” is confirmed and displayed in the symbol display section 3 in a display mode meaning “big win”, a “special game state” advantageous to the player occurs, and a big winning device 7 is opened until a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds) elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, 9) of game balls are detected. In addition, on the condition that a game ball wins a specific area (not shown) in the big winning device 7, the big winning device 7 repeats the opening intermittently a predetermined number of times. Therefore, when the “hit state” occurs, the player can acquire many prize balls in a short period of time with a very high probability.

(4) Effect of gaming member and pachinko machine of embodiment The gaming member 21 holds a plurality of gaming balls simultaneously in the gaming member 21 in order to suppress the falling speed of the gaming ball flowing down in the gaming ball passage as described above. be able to. Then, when the right side wall 27 slides to the open position with a plurality of game balls in the passage, the game balls can be awarded to the winning device 22 with a high probability. Therefore, even if the winning opening 30 is opened only for a short time (1.5 seconds), a situation in which the player is uncomfortable that the gaming ball cannot be won even though the winning opening 30 is opened. Can be made difficult. In particular, after the game ball is won at the start winning opening 8, the right side wall 27 is operated after a predetermined time has elapsed, so that the player adjusts the launch handle 19 when the game ball wins the start winning opening 8. If a game ball is guided into the game member 21, a plurality of game balls can be won to the winning device 22 with a very high probability.
And the pachinko machine 1 which does not give a discomfort to a player by installing such a game member 21 can be provided.

Further, the upper surface of each obstacle wall 24 erected in the game ball passage is formed into an inclined surface such that the thickness of the obstacle wall 24 gradually decreases toward the center side of the game ball passage, The obstacle wall 24 is fitted and installed in the game board in such a posture that the upper surface of the obstacle wall 24 is inclined downward. Therefore, it is possible to guide the game ball smoothly downward in the game member 21, and it is difficult to cause a ball clogging or the like.
Further, since the obstacle walls 24, 24,... Are standing in a staggered manner in the game ball passage, the falling speed of the game ball can be efficiently reduced, and the right side wall 27 is in the open position. At this time, the game ball can be efficiently guided to the winning opening 30.

Furthermore, the right side wall 27 is provided with a notch 29 that fits with the protruding portion 28 of the obstacle wall 24, and slides in a state in which the notched 29 is fitted to the protruding portion 28. It can be smoother. Therefore, there is little possibility that troubles occur due to being caught especially when moving from the open position to the closed position.
Furthermore, since the game member 21 does not store game balls, it does not cause a problem such as ball clogging due to excessive storage of game balls.

In addition, when the game member 21 is fitted and installed, the bottom plate 23 and the surface of the game board are installed so as to be flush with each other, so that the game ball about to flow into the game member 21 is not hindered. The game ball can be smoothly guided into the game member 21.
Further, the game member 21 and the winning device 22 are provided adjacent to each other, and the right side wall 27 is used as a door member for opening and closing the winning port 30 by providing a winning port 30 between the obstacle walls 24 and 24 on the right side wall 27 side. Fulfills the function. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced as compared with the case where the game member 21 and the winning device including the door member are provided apart from each other. Furthermore, since the falling speed of the game ball can be suppressed at a position closer to the winning opening 30, when the right side wall 27 is in the open position, the gaming ball with the reduced falling speed is highly probable to the winning opening 30. Can lead to.

(5) Description of Modified Examples of the Present Invention The configurations of the gaming member and the ball game machine of the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the symbol display device, the symbol display unit, and the main control The shape, configuration, installation position, and the like of the board, sub-integrated board, symbol control board, gaming member, various winning devices, and start winning ports can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, when a game ball wins a start winning opening, it may be configured to display that on a symbol display section. By performing such display, the player can know the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening more surely, and the game ball is won even though the movable wall of the gaming member is in the open position. It is possible to more reliably prevent a situation in which the player cannot win a prize.

Further, in the above embodiment, the condition that the movable wall is in the open position in the game member is a winning game ball to the start winning opening, but it is not limited to this. For example, when the c counter obtains a predetermined value as a result of the “lottery” performed when a game ball is awarded to the ordinary electric accessory, the following example is applied. Thus, there is no problem even if the movable wall is in the open position. It should be noted that the occurrence of the “medium hit” can be displayed on the symbol display device in the same manner as the occurrence of the “big hit”.
In addition, the timing at which the movable wall becomes the open position is not limited to 5 seconds from the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening, and the time to become the open position is not limited to 1.5 seconds. It can be changed as appropriate.
