Description

  The present invention effectively provides a temporary ball hold function for a special winning opening for temporarily dropping a free ball in a predetermined area on the game board and then dropping the ball toward a specific area. The present invention relates to a game board of a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine provided.

  The temporary ball holding function of the present invention is based on the National Public Safety Commission Regulation No. 4 “Amusement Machine” of February 12, 1985, which was amended by the National Public Security Commission Regulation No. 1 of January 30, 2004. This is different from the “holding device” defined in Article 6 Attached Table 2 (2) wa “Rules for Approval of Approval and Type Approval” (hereinafter referred to as “Game Machine Rules”) The “holding device” defined in the gaming machine rules means a device for holding a game ball and dropping it toward a winning port other than the big winning port, and the special winning port is not a target.

  The “holding device” defined by the game machine rules has been known for a long time. For example, on page 179 of Non-Patent Document 1, a model called “Megaton Q” published with a picture of a game board “cancel all balls stored in an accessory all at once by pressing a button on the underframe” As is clear from the photograph, it is provided with a function that allows balls to fall from three holes at the upper left, middle, and right above the five open tulips.

Pachinko Victory Guide 2.9 No. Special Issue “Pachinko Victory Guide Explosive Yearbook 2001” February 9, 2001 Byakuya Shobo Co., Ltd.

  The conventional “holding device” defined in the rules of the gaming machine drops the ball toward the tulip, which is a prize opening other than the big prize opening, so the ball released from the hole is the winning rate for the tulip. If the game store side arbitrarily adjusts the direction of the nail, it will almost be a ball on the tulip that has been opened. Can't be reached, and it's a problem that could be a completely interesting platform.

  In the present invention, an amusing ball-ball game machine that can fully enjoy the joy of simultaneous winning by releasing the temporary ball holding function without being affected by arbitrary nail adjustment on the game store side. It is an object to provide a game board.

As illustrated in FIG.
In the game area (20) where the ball is allowed to flow down,
Assume a game board (2) of a ball game machine having a special winning opening (9) related to a special electric accessory to be opened at the time of a big hit.

Here, the “special electric accessory” refers to an electric accessory that opens or enlarges the entrance to the big prize opening (Article 6 Attached Table 2 (2) G).
“Large winning opening” means a winning opening that, when an accessory is activated, makes it easier to win a prize (Attachment 2 (2) D) of Article 6 of the Amusement Machine Rules).
“Functions” means special equipment that facilitates winning a prize (the fifth of pachinko machines in the table of Article 7 of the Law Enforcement Regulations on Regulations on Customs Business and Optimization of Business) .

“Big hit” as used in the present invention refers to the operation of a “continuous operation device for articles” defined by the rules of the gaming machine. The “continuous operation device for operations” refers to the operation of a special electric accessory continuously. This refers to a special device that can be used (Attached Table 2 (2) H of the Game Machine Regulations Article 6).
The “small hit” used later in comparison with “big hit” means that the special electric accessory is operated discontinuously under the non-operation of the accessory continuous operation device. The non-continuous operation is a concept opposite to the continuous operation of the special electric accessory by the operation of the accessory continuous actuator.

Under the above assumption, as illustrated in FIGS.
In the upper area of the ball collection port (91) for collecting the winning balls to the big prize opening (9), a game area where the balls are always allowed to freely fall and an internal area of the big prize opening (9) at the time of big hit An area partitioning member (92) and a ball receiving member (93) for receiving a ball that has entered the area partitioned by the area partitioning member (92) are provided so as to be able to advance and retreat.

  In addition, after the ball receiving operation to advance the ball receiving member (93) to the front of the game area (20) at the time of big hit, the ball collection port (91) is opened and the area partitioning member (92) The ball collecting operation is combined with the advancement of the ball and the retraction of the ball receiving member (93).

  Thereby, at the time of a big hit, a plurality of balls received by the ball receiving member (93) can be obtained by executing a combination of the ball receiving operation and the ball collecting operation at the big winning opening (9). 91), it is possible to show the player a dramatic ball behavior that has an impact as if it was dropped and sucked all at once, and the player can be strongly impressed by the image of earning balls at once. The balls that fall all at once reach the ball collection port (91) through a region that is a game area in which the balls are always freely dropped and an internal region of the big prize opening (9) at the time of big hit, There is no room for influence such as nail adjustment that arbitrarily prevents the ball from reaching (91).

  In the above, the big winning opening (9) is opened for a plurality of rounds at the time of a big hit, and the ball collection port (91) is kept closed for a predetermined early period from the start of each round. A ball receiving operation for advancing the receiving member (92) to the front of the game area is performed, and after the initial period of each round, the ball collection port (91) is opened and the area partitioning member (92) is moved forward. It is preferable that the ball collecting operation is performed so that the advancement and the backward movement of the ball receiving member (93) are performed almost simultaneously.

  Thereby, about each round of big hits, the player can fully enjoy the real thrill of the simultaneous winning every time, and the interest during the big hit can be remarkably enhanced.

  In the above, it is preferable that a roof member (98) having a ball inlet (96) is provided on an upper portion of the region partitioned by the region partition member (92).

  Thus, when the ball collecting operation is performed by combining the opening of the ball collecting port (91), the advancement of the area dividing member (92) and the retraction of the ball receiving member (93), the area dividing member (92) and the roof member (98) ensures that the region in which the ball receiving member (93) is provided is an internal region of the big prize opening with the ball intake (96) of the roof member (98) as the entrance. The gaming machine rules relating to the “holding device” defined in Article 6 Attached Table 2 (2) of the gaming machine rules, in which the member (93) and the ball collection port (91) are secured as the internal structure of the big prize opening. Article 6 Schedule 4 (2) E (c) (d) (e) Regulations such as (e) can be reliably cleared.

  Thereby, the ball moves up and down while meandering from left to right from the upper shelf (9U) to the middle shelf (9M) and from the middle shelf (9M) to the lower shelf (9D). .

Further, in these cases, the upper shelf (upper shelf 9U) having a gentle slope on one side receives the first shelf plate (930) gently descending toward one side and the sphere falling from above. A ball receiving portion (931) that protrudes slightly upward toward the front of the first shelf plate (930), and a ball drop portion provided on the first shelf plate (930) that causes the ball that has moved to one side to drop downward. (Ball drop opening 933),
The next shelf (middle shelf 9M) having a gentle slope on the other side includes a second shelf plate (936) that gently descends toward the other side, and the second shelf plate that receives a sphere falling from above. A ball receiving portion (931) protruding toward the front of (936) and a ball drop portion (ball drop port 933) provided on the second shelf plate (936) for dropping the ball moved to the other side downward. ).

  As a result, the ball receiving portion (931) and the ball dropping portion (ball dropping port 933) allow one side gently inclined upper shelf (upper shelf 9U) to the other side gently inclined next shelf (middle shelf 9M). ) Can be inherited well.

  In particular, in this case, an upward slope is provided on one side of the first shelf (930) so as to be continuous with a downward slope, and an upward slope is provided on the other side of the second shelf (936) with a downward slope. The ball drop part is provided with a ball drop opening (933) provided in a cutout shape in a continuous portion of the downward slope and the upward slope of the first shelf plate (930) and the second shelf plate (936). More preferably it consists of:

  Thereby, the inheritance of the ball | bowl between each shelf can be performed slowly and compactly in the limited area | region.

  In addition, ball crossing resistance portions (932, 934, 935) that provide resistance to overcoming moving balls are provided on the ball moving surfaces of the first shelf plate (930) and the second shelf plate (936). It is also preferable.

  Thereby, the moving speed of the sphere on each shelf is appropriately lowered by the ball crossing resistance portion (932, 934, 935), and can be moved slowly with a swaying sphere behavior.

  In the above, the area partition member (92) and the ball receiving member (93) are allowed to freely advance and retract through the game area (20) and are narrower than the diameter of the ball (20L, 20R, 20U). , 20M, 20R), and at the advanced position of the region partition member (92) or the ball receiving member (93), the front end of these members protrudes in front of the slit for a predetermined length, In the retracted position of the area partition member (92) or the ball receiving member (93), it is preferable that the front end of these members is retracted deeper than the opening end of the slit.

  As a result, the ball can be freely dropped without being caught in the slits (20L, 20R, 20U, 20M, 20R) at the time of the game area where the ball is freely dropped. The ball receiving operation and the ball collecting operation by the advance and retreat of the area dividing member (92) and the ball receiving member (93) can be performed satisfactorily.

  In the above, it is preferable that the special winning opening (9) is arranged at the lower right part (20RD) of the gaming area (20).

And a ball cage 55 that functions as a mini-clone and causes a predetermined delay until the ball comes out from the bottom as a main component, and is always a ball receiving and ball escape body as in the ball receiving posture of (i). 54 and the ball cage 55 are locked by an upper stopper 501 provided by cutting out the upper right end of the ball cage 55 in the upper part of the depth space 500 in the working space 50 by a built-in return spring that urges counterclockwise. It is stopped in the state.

  When the ball P is received by the ball receiving portion 541 of the ball receiver / ball escape body 54, the integrated body of the ball receiver / ball escape body 54 and the ball cage 55 moves like a so-called shioshidoshi, and the ball of (ii) It becomes a pulling posture.

  That is, the sphere P received by the sphere receiving portion 541 slides to a position near the outer periphery deviating from the central axis of the sphere cage 55 and rolls down into the sphere cage 55, and the sphere cage 55 rotates in the clockwise direction by its own weight. Then, the lower end of the spherical cage 55 is received by the lower stopper 502 provided in the lower part of the deep space 500, and the lock that jumps forward after once escaped to the inner side as the spherical cage 55 rotates clockwise. The claw 560 locks a part of the upper end of the ball cage 55, and the ball P circulates in the ball cage 55 like the ball behavior in the mini croon with the bottom of the ball cage 55 facing down, and the rotation stops. The ball P is extracted from the bottom 550 of the ball cage 55 and transferred to the chance passage 51. When in this ball removal posture, the ball P that has reached the second or later is guided to the ball escape portion 542 of the ball receiver / ball escape body 54 and heads toward the non-chance passage 52.

  As shown in FIG. 6, downstream of the chance passage 51, a ball that has passed through the bottom 550 of the ball cage 55 in a ball pulling posture passes, so that the lock claw 560 is forcibly retracted to the back, and the ball cage 55 is returned to the original position. A return lever piece 56 that returns to the ball receiving posture, a right sphere passage sensor 4Rp that detects a chance ball branched into the chance passage 51, a substantially L-shaped transparent ball connecting tube 57 that passes the chance ball inside, A spiral passage 58 in which a ball received from the outlet 570 is slid in a spiral shape and dropped from the drop hole 581 of the mini-clun 580, and the fall ball from the spiral passage 58 is placed in the V winning opening 6V and a non-V region other than this. A V winning distribution mechanism 6 that distributes to the winning opening 6F is provided.

  When the ball P that has escaped from the bottom 550 of the ball cage 55 reaches the return lever piece 56, the blades 4L and 4R have already been closed for a while, and when the ball has returned from the ball-drawing posture to the ball-receiving posture, The ball P received in is branched to the non-chance passage 52 side. Accordingly, for one opening of the first big winning opening 4, only the ball P that first enters the ball cage 55 goes to the V winning distribution mechanism 6 through the chance passage 51.

  Downstream of the non-chance passage 52 are a left sphere passage sensor 4Lp that detects a non-chance sphere branched into the non-chance passage 52, a left-down slope connecting passage 591 that passes the non-chance sphere, and a sphere of the passage 591. A collection passage 592 for collecting and processing as a winning ball is provided on the back side. The winning balls collected in the collecting passage 592 are detected by a non-V winning sensor 4Fs provided inside and processed only as winning balls.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the ball P that has exited from the outlet 570 of the ball connecting tube 57 via the chance passage 51 is delivered to the spiral passage 58 and rolls in a spiral shape, reaches the lower mini-clone 580, and turns slightly. The ball drops from the drop hole 581 toward the V winning distribution mechanism 6 in a state where the momentum of the ball is appropriately killed and the rotation is reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the V winning distribution mechanism 6 is like a convex lens that rotates horizontally at a constant speed around a shaft 61 at a constant speed and widens the skirt toward the outer periphery with the center at the top. A ball distribution disk 62 having a bulge and a cylindrical body 63 in which the disk 62 is accommodated are provided as main components, and one sector shape in which the circumference of the ball distribution disk 62 is equally divided into a predetermined number, for example, ten. A V winning ball receiving portion 64 that constitutes a V winning distributing portion that ensures V winning is provided in the portion, and a ball that constitutes a non-V winning distributing portion that makes V winning impossible in other fan-shaped portions. A discharge hole 65 is provided.

  The sphere P that has fallen from the drop hole 581 of the mini-clone 580 of the spiral passage 58 to the center of the ball sorting disk 62 has a predetermined design probability with the fan-shaped equal division number of the ball sorting disk 62 as a denominator, in this example, 1 The ball that slides from the V winning ball receiving portion 64 from the gently inclined bottom portion 66 of the receiving portion 64 is passed through the ball passing shooter 68 from the ball punch 67 cut out in the cylindrical body 63. Win a prize at 6V. A V winning ball to the V winning opening 6V is detected by a V winning sensor 6Vs provided inside.

  The sphere falling from the ball discharge hole 65 of the ball distribution disk 62 enters the non-V prize opening 6F from the cylinder bottom 69 of the downward slope through the recovery hole 690, and is detected by the non-V prize sensor 6Fs provided inside, Only processed as a winning ball.

B) Alternating distribution mechanism 8
As shown in FIG. 9, the alternating distribution mechanism 8 causes the ball P that has flowed down to a predetermined area substantially below the center of the game board 2 including the falling ball from the superior outlet 34 of the center stage 33 to the transparent case 80. The ball is received from the ball receiving port 81 into the receiving passage 82. The first type starting port is constituted by the switching body 84 that swings around the shaft 83 due to the interference with the receiving ball P and switches the posture alternately between (i) the left distributed posture and (ii) the right distributed posture. The first start winning prize and the normal symbol lottery activation are alternately realized by alternately turning to the gait starting port A1 to be performed and the hesogate GT1 constituting the normal symbol lottery opportunity.

  85L and 85R are balls that are engaged with and disengaged from the left and right recesses 84L and 84R on the outer periphery and left and right of the switching body 84 in either of the left and right distribution postures, and 86L and 86R are balls 85L , 85R is biased to the switching body 84, and the posture of the switching body 84 fluctuates due to the reaction of the switching body 84 when the posture is switched and various vibrations inside and outside the game board 2. To keep the distribution posture stable.

  The alternating sorting mechanism 8 can accept a left-handed ball, but the right-handed ball is almost unacceptable by a connecting nail NR connected to the upper right of the alternating sorting mechanism 8. In this example, the balls alternately directed to the hem start port A1 and the mess gate GT1 always enter the hem start port A1 or the mess gate GT1, but the hem start port A1, the mess gate GT1, the switching body 84, For example, by increasing the distance between the spheres, the spheres after switching may be alternately directed to the heel start opening A1 and the heel gate GT1, and a case where the ball enters and a case where the ball does not enter may be generated. In addition, a predetermined number, for example, three prize balls are paid out for each winning prize at the navel starting opening A1. The ball that has entered the hesogate GT1 goes down and is released to the game board 2.

C) Frog type starter A2
As shown in FIG. 2, the frog-type starting port A2 is provided on the right area of the game board 2 to the right of the second big winning port 9, and a right-handed ball is placed at a predetermined low frequency, for example, 100 right-handed balls. About 3 balls can be won. The entrance barrier 2Ab integrated with the prize-winning apparatus main body A2a made of a resin molded product realizes low-frequency prizes while preventing the prize rate from being changed intentionally by the game hall staff. Note that the frog-type starting port means a winning port that is actually a starting port, although it seems to be a normal winning port that pays out only the winning ball. A predetermined number, for example, three prize balls are paid out for each winning prize at the frog type start opening A2.

D) Right hit ball passing gate GT2
As shown in FIG. 2, the right hit ball passing gate GT2 is provided at the lower right of the center unit 3 in the right area of the game board 2, and the right hit ball is half the predetermined high frequency, for example, 100 right hit balls. It is possible to enter to more than 50 of. The ball that has entered the right hit ball passing gate GT2 drops down and is released to the game board 2.

E) Type 2 start port B0
The second type starting port B0 opens the inlet by the operation of the ordinary electric accessory, and is disposed below the alternating distribution mechanism 8.
As shown in FIG. 10, the second type starting port B0 allows a lateral hole 87 that opens to the back of the game board 2, a retreat position that prevents entry into the lateral hole 87, and entry into the lateral hole 87. And a ball receiving piece 88 that is driven back and forth between the advance position. In the horizontal hole 87, a rectangular hole 872 through which the ball receiving piece 88 passes is connected to the lower part of the round hole 871 through which the ball P passes. A predetermined number of, for example, three prize balls are paid out for each winning in the second type start port B0, that is, in each side hole 87.

  The ball receiving piece 88 has a rectangular plate-shaped main body 881 that is long in the front and rear, a front end blocking wall 882 that prevents the ball P from entering the horizontal hole 88 at the retracted position, and a ball that allows the ball P to be placed at the advanced position. A mounting recess 883 and an inclined sphere guide path 884 having a downward slope from the bottom to the back of the recess 883 and having one side, for example, the right side as a downward slope when viewed from the front, are provided. When the energization is turned on, the advancing position is advanced from the retracted position to the advanced position, and when the energization is turned off, the solenoid built-in spring is returned to the retracted position. Reference numeral 89 denotes a ball shift provided fixedly on the back side of the game board 2 that moves the ball P to the right side to be guided by interference with the ball P guided to the inclined ball guide path 884.

  When the electric support time, which is the operation time of an ordinary electric accessory, is made to correspond to the short-time specification, for example, when the time from energization ON of the solenoid for electric power SoL0 to energization OFF is TL = 5 seconds × 1 time, A predetermined long period of time near the energization time of about 5 seconds is ensured at the advancement position of the receiving piece 88, and the ball P placed on the ball mounting recess 883 is formed in the horizontal hole 87 along the inclined ball guide path 884. The balls P that are sequentially collected to the far right and are placed in the ball mounting recess 883 when the power solenoid SolO is turned off are returned to the retracted position of the ball receiving piece 88 along the inclined ball guiding path 884 along the horizontal hole 87. It is collected at the back right. The sphere P collected at the far right of the horizontal hole 87 is detected by the winning sensor at the second type starting port B0. In this example, the type 2 starting port B0 has no hold, so in many cases, the first entry is processed as the type 2 start winning, and the subsequent entry is sent to the payout process of only the winning ball. The

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the electric support time is made to correspond to the non-short-time specification and the short time, for example, the time from energization ON of the general-purpose solenoid SoL0 to energization OFF is TS = 100 ms × 1 time, Even if there is a ball P that has flowed in a timely manner in the vicinity of the second type start port B0, the stay time at the 88 advancing positions is almost an extremely short time that is almost close to 0. It is almost hopeless to hit the plate-shaped main body 881 and the front end blocking wall 882 without being placed in the recess 883, and to enter the back of the horizontal hole 87. Therefore, the second type start winning is almost impossible.

F) Second Grand Prize 9

The ball climbing resistance portions 932, 934, and 935 provide resistance to climbing the moving ball on the ball moving surface on the upper surface of the second shelf 936.

  As shown in FIG. 13, at the start of each round at the time of big hit, the ball receiving member 93 (93U, 93M, 93D) is advanced onto the game board 2 to perform the ball receiving operation. In the case of a big hit, for example, eight winnings, which are a predetermined maximum winning number (count number), are allowed to the ball collecting port 91 every round over a predetermined longest time, for example, 30 seconds. When there is a prize that reaches the maximum number of prizes or when the longest time has elapsed, one round is completed, and after a predetermined interval of about 2 seconds, the process moves to the next round and repeats for a predetermined number of rounds. A predetermined number, for example, 15 prize balls are paid out for each winning prize at the second grand prize winning opening 9, that is, winning prize at the ball collecting opening 91. The maximum number of winnings (count number) in one round may be nine, and the number of winning balls for one winning may be 14.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the ball receiving operation by the ball receiving member 93 is performed for a predetermined early period, for example, 5 seconds from the start of each round, and the ball P flowing down from the ball intake 96 of the roof member 98 is The ball is received in the vicinity of the ball receiving portion 931 of the upper shelf 93U, moves to the left along a gentle gradient while swinging on the first shelf plate 930 having a leftward downward gradient, and falls from the ball dropping portion 933 to the middle shelf 93M. The ball P falling from the upper shelf 93U is received in the vicinity of the ball receiving portion 931 of the middle shelf 93M, and moves to the right along a gentle slope while swinging on the second shelf plate 936 having a downward slope to the right. 933 falls to the lower shelf 93D.

It falls from the portion 933 to the upper inclined passage 94 having a downward slope on the base block 90.

  During the early period from the start of each round, the ball collection port 90 is still closed by the slide plate 95, and the sphere falling on the upper surface inclined passage 94 has not yet entered the ball collection port 90 from the left end of the upper surface inclined passage 94. The winning is not detected by the winning sensor of the second large winning opening 9 which is released to the left and provided inside the ball collecting opening 90.

  As shown in FIG. 15, after each round initial period, in the middle of each round, the ball collection port 90 is opened by retracting the slide plate 95 backward, and the left partition wall 92 </ b> L constituting the area partition member 92 is provided. A ball collecting operation is performed in which the forward movement of the right partition wall 92R and the retreat of the upper shelf 93U, the middle shelf 93M, and the lower shelf 93D constituting the ball receiving member 93 are substantially simultaneously combined.

  Immediately before the execution of this ball collecting operation, the upper shelf 93U, the middle shelf 93M and the lower shelf 93D constituting the ball receiving member 93 receive approximately a maximum of two balls P for one shelf and a total of six balls P in total. It is expected that the ball is stopped, and about six balls P are dropped or flowed toward the ball collection port 90 and collected by the ball collection operation in the middle of the round. Therefore, a winning is detected by the winning sensor of the second big winning opening 9 provided inside the ball collecting opening 90, and the count number advances at a stretch.

  As shown in FIG. 16, at the end of each round, the left partition wall 92 </ b> L and the right partition wall 92 </ b> R constituting the area partition member 92 have advanced forward, and then flowed down from the ball inlet 96 of the roof member 98. When the coming ball P flows into the ball collection port 90 and the eighth winning of the maximum number of winnings which is the upper limit count number is detected by the winning sensor in the ball collecting port 90, the slide plate 95 is moved forward. Then, the ball collection port 90 is closed and the left partition wall 92L and the right partition wall 92R constituting the area partition member 92 are retracted rearward, and one round is completed to prepare for the next round. In the final round, the big hit game is over.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the control device CN of the gaming machine includes a main control unit MC including a CPU, ROM, and RAM serving as a main microprocessor, and a first peripheral control including CPU1, ROM1, and RAM1 serving as sub-microprocessors. And a second peripheral control unit SC2 including a CPU 2, a ROM 2, and a RAM 2 that are also sub-microprocessors. The components related to the payout of prize balls, the connection with ball rental units and hall computers, the power supply, and the security are not shown.

  The “main control unit” refers to a control device that controls a function that affects or may affect the game result. This is a concept in which the physical element of the board is removed from the “main board” defined in the gaming machine rules. The “main board” is a board having a function that affects or may affect the game result, and is a board other than a board on which only electronic components for connecting wirings are mounted ( Gaming Machine Rules Article 6 Attached Table 2 (1) A). In addition, the “peripheral control unit” is a control unit that performs control other than the control by the main control unit, and has no function that affects or may affect the game result. This is what you do. This is a concept in which the physical element of the board is removed from the “peripheral board” defined in the gaming machine rules. The “peripheral board” means a board other than the main board and other than the one on which only the electronic components for connecting the wirings are mounted (Article 6 Attached Table 2 (1)) D).

  On the input side of the main control unit MC, winning sensors A1s and A2s for detecting first type starting winning balls to the first type starting ports A1 and A2 and input to the second type starting port B0 via the input port In. A winning sensor B0s for detecting the second type starting winning ball, a winning sensor 4Li, 4Ri, a ball passing sensor 4Lp, 4Rp, a V winning sensor 6Vs, and a non-V winning sensor 4Fs, 6Fs provided inside the first big winning opening 4.

  The main controller MC controls lighting of various display devices SD and ND and lamps h1 to h4 and e1 to e4 provided on the display board DB via the output port Out and the LED driver Dr0. Further, via the output port Out and the drive system driver Dr1 related to the first big prize opening 4 composed of a solenoid driver and a motor driver, the opening / closing solenoids of the blades 4L and 4R and the rotation stepping motor of the ball distribution disk 62 are provided. The slide plate opening / closing solenoid SoL1, the area partition member solenoid SoL2, and the ball receiving member solenoid are controlled via a drive system driver Dr2 related to the second big prize opening 9 including the output port Out and the solenoid driver. The SoL3 is controlled, and the power transmission solenoid SoL0 is controlled via the output port Out and the solenoid driver Dr3.

  Between the output port Out of the main control unit MC and the input port In1 of the first peripheral control unit SC1, data is transmitted in only one direction from the main control unit MC to the first peripheral control unit SC1 via the relay terminal board CB. It is connected with the communication specification that allows. From the main control unit MC to the first peripheral control unit SC1, one-way output of various command commands such as a change pattern command according to an input at the main control unit MC and a lottery result executed by the main control unit MC There is no output or return of signals from the first peripheral controller SC1 to the main control MC. From the standpoint of preventing unauthorized modification and other changes, in the gaming machine rules Article 6 Attached Table 3 (1) b (e), as a standard for the main board, "things that can receive signals transmitted by peripheral boards" This is because it is prescribed.

  Bidirectional data transmission / reception is permitted between the first peripheral control unit SC1 and the second peripheral control unit SC2. Note that, as indicated by an imaginary line, between the output port Out of the main control unit MC and the input port In2 of the second peripheral control unit SC2 also from the main control unit MC to the second peripheral control unit via the relay terminal board CB. You may connect with the communication specification which permits the data transmission of only one direction to SC2. In the main control unit MC, the elapsed time specified by the command transmitted to the peripheral control units SC1 and SC2 on the sub side is managed as a timer, and the control on the main control unit MC side and the control on the sub side match. I am doing so.

  The first peripheral control unit SC1 controls the main effect indicator 71 and the sub effect indicators 72 and 73 constituting the effect display device 7 via the output port Out1 and the LCD driver Dr4, and the output port Out1. The stepping motors 36L and 36R of the split movable bodies 35L and 35R are controlled via the motor driver Dr5. Further, a player operation switch 19 including a left button 19L, a middle button 19C, and a right button 19R is input to the input port In1 of the first peripheral control unit SC1, and the effect display device 7 and / or the split movable body 35L, The player can be involved in the production at the specific production of 35R.

  The second peripheral controller SC2 controls the lighting of the decoration lamps 14a to 14e via the output port Out2 and the LED driver Dr6, and from the speakers 18L and 18R via the output port Out2 and the power amplifier Ap. Are controlled, and an accompanying effect including an effect such as an electric effect linked to a display effect on the effect display device 7 and / or a sound effect, and various alarms is executed.

  In the main game program for controlling the entire game stored in the ROM of the main controller MC, an internal lottery means including a normal symbol lottery and a special symbol lottery is constructed, and the normal mode GM to the heaven mode HM or The upper limit of the number of lottery derivations for the special symbol lottery in which the short-time specification in the game state transition means X, the heaven mode HM or the chance mode CM to be shifted to the chance mode CM is determined is determined in accordance with a predetermined distribution ratio. The game state returning means Z for returning to the normal mode GM from the short time duration count determining means Y, the heaven mode HM or the chance mode CM is constructed, and the following specifications are realized.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the winning probability (ordinary figure probability) in the normal symbol lottery, the operation time of the ordinary electric accessory (electric support time), and the variation time (ordinary figure variation time) of the ordinary symbol based on the ordinary symbol lottery The general-use related specification consisting of is a basic specification that specifies a normal mode GM that is a non-short-time gaming state, a heaven mode HM or a chance mode CM that is a short-time gaming state. In the heaven mode HM, the short-time specification will continue, the gaming state when the upper limit of the lottery derivation number of the special symbol lottery will be continued to be relatively 81 to 100 times, the chance mode CM, the short-time specification will continue It is a gaming state when the upper limit of the number of lottery derivations of the special symbol lottery is determined to be relatively 1 to 80 times. However, both of them are so-called short-time gaming states.

  The normal mode GM is a non-short-time specification in which the base, which is the ratio of the number of balls acquired by winning the second type starting port B0 to the number of balls inserted into the game board 2, is relatively low. The normal figure probability is set to 5/256 = about 1/51 by setting the winning numerical value range determined within the 256 numerical value ranges that can be taken by the random numbers for normal symbol lottery to a part, for example, 5. The electric support time is within the range of 100 numerical values that can be taken by random numbers for each type of drawing, and the time from turning ON the power solenoid SolO to ON is TL = 5 seconds x 1 time. For example, a selection range of 1 per base map is a small number, for example, 10; for example, a selection range of 2 per base map where the time from energization ON to energization OFF of the general power solenoid SoL0 is TS = 100 ms × one power support short open is In most cases, the electric support short is opened at a low distribution ratio of 1/10, but in most cases, the electric support short is opened at a high distribution ratio of 9/10. The normal time fluctuation time is, for example, 3 seconds when out of normal, and 30 seconds when per normal.

  The heaven mode HM or the chance mode CM is a short time specification with a relatively high base until the lottery derivation number of the special symbol lottery exceeds the upper limit and is terminated. The normal figure probability is set to 255/256 = about 1/1 almost every time by setting the winning numerical value range defined within the 256 numerical value ranges that can be taken by the random numbers for normal symbol lottery to almost the entire range, for example, 255. Even if the electric support time is distributed to 1 per common map with a distribution ratio of 1/10 or 2 per general map with an allocation ratio of 9/10, the power supply solenoid SoL0 is energized to off. The time until is TL = 5 seconds × 1 electric support long release, and it is always a long release. For example, the normal time fluctuation time is 3 seconds, which is the same as the normal mode GM when out of normal, but is 4 seconds, which is significantly shorter than the normal mode GM when hitting the normal time.

  The heaven mode HM has a so-called short-time specification in the game state return means Z on condition that the number of lottery derivation times in the special symbol lottery counted from the transition to the heaven mode HM exceeds the upper limit of 81 to 100 times determined. It is released by the time-slew and returns to the normal mode GM of the non-time-short specification.

  Chance mode CM has the same short-time specification in game state return means Z on condition that the number of lottery derivations in special symbol lottery counted from the transition to chance mode CM has exceeded the upper limit of 1 to 80 times determined. It is released by the time-slew and returns to the normal mode GM of the non-time-short specification.

  “Special figure jackpot probability”, which is the winning probability of jackpot in the special symbol lottery, is 164/65536 = by setting the winning numerical value range defined within the 65536 number range that the random number for the special symbol lottery can take to be 164, for example. About 1/400. The special figure jackpot probability is constant regardless of the normal mode GM, the heaven mode HM, and the chance mode CM.

  Special symbols for winning big wins by means of short-time continuation number determination means Y in any of the gaming modes of special mode lottery (special event big hit), normal mode GM, heaven mode HM, chance mode CM Based on the lottery random number for each special figure acquired together with the lottery random number, the upper limit of the lottery derivation number of the special symbol lottery for which the short-time specification will be continued is determined according to a predetermined distribution ratio.

  In other words, 100 numbers that can be taken by random numbers for special lottery per special figure are associated with the upper limit number of lottery derivation times of special symbol lottery that the short-time specification will continue, and if the random number is 0, the upper limit is 1. If 1 is 1, the upper limit is 2... If the random number is 99, the upper limit is 100. The upper limit of 1 to 100 times is determined at a distribution rate of 1%. In this example, in the big hit game with the special figure big hit, the round that continuously opens the second big prize opening 9 is set to, for example, five rounds, but 2 to 16 according to the random numbers for the type lottery per special figure. The round may be appropriately assigned and determined.

  In the effect that is developed in the effect display device 7 during the big hit game with the special figure jackpot, for example, in the battle effect, the acquired battle point is added by the attack of the ally, decremented by the enemy attack, the magnitude of the attack or the magnitude of the damage The number of points changes, and at the end of 5 rounds of the final round, the upper limit determined based on the random number for special lottery per special figure is 1 to 20 times, and the initial acquisition points are uniformly determined as 0 points In Level 2 where the upper limit is 21 to 40 times, the initial acquisition point is 0 to 10 points, and in Level 3 where the upper limit is 41 to 60 times, the initial acquisition point is 0 to 20 points, and the upper limit determined is 61 0 to 30 points for initial gain at level 4 of ~ 80, and initial gain at level 5 with a determined upper limit of 81 to 100 The Into carries out an effect 1 to 30 points. The initial acquisition point is determined for each level based on the random number for determining the effect defined by the first peripheral control unit SC1, and is added or decreased in the battle in the middle of the battle so as to coincide with the determined initial acquisition point. The number of points is adjusted.

  In addition, after the big hit game with the special figure big hit, the level in the level 1 to 4 which is determined based on the random numbers for the lottery for each special figure is 1 to 80 times, the background in the effect display device 7 is the chance of the battle training video In the chance mode CM as the mode background, the upper limit determined based on the random number for type lottery per special figure is level 5 with 81 to 100 times, the background in the effect display device 7 is the heaven mode background of the battle champion video There is an effect of shifting to the heaven mode HM and shifting to a visually different mode. However, in both the chance mode CM and the heaven mode HM, the gaming state managed by the main control unit MC is a gaming state with a short time specification.

  In addition, at the time of V winning big hit by winning the V winning opening 6V in the honeymoon game triggered by the small hit by winning the second type start opening B0, the round that continuously opens the second big winning opening 9 In this example, for example, the number is uniformly 5 rounds. Also, in the final round of the battle production that is developed in the production display device 7 during the big win game due to the V prize, the remaining number of short time durations (current time after the countdown progresses) due to the attack of the ally and the enemy developed in the middle of the round Within the range of the number of short-time continuations), the battle points are added and added, and an effect is given as if the continuation of the short-time is extended by a V-winning jackpot.

  As shown in FIG. 19, under normal mode GM with non-short-time specification, after special big hit, after the big hit game, if the upper limit number of times is up to 80 times, it shifts to the chance mode CM, and if the upper limit number of times is 81 to 100 times, heaven Transition to mode HM. Depending on the V winning jackpot under the normal mode GM, the game stops in the normal mode GM after the jackpot game.

  In normal mode GM of non-short-time specification, the probability of ordinary drawing is low, and it is difficult to obtain per figure, and even if it is per ordinary figure, most electric support shorts are opened, so it is difficult to obtain the second type start prize. The frequency of winning V prizes from wins is not very high. For this reason, in the normal mode GM, aiming at the first type start winning from the thigh starting port A1 by left-handed, the special figure big hit with a probability of about 1/400 becomes the mainstream hit. However, the frequency is not so high, but there is also a possibility of a V winning big hit from a small hit.

  In the chance mode CM or the heaven mode HM of the short-time specification, the probability of normal transmission is about 1/1, and the ball passes through the gates GT1 and GT2 almost every time. A seed start prize can be easily obtained, and a honey-game where a V prize can be expected can be performed frequently. For this reason, in the chance mode CM or the heaven mode HM, the right hit hits the right hit ball passing gate GT2 and the second type starting port B0, and the V winning big hit from the small hit becomes the main hit.

  In the V winning big win, no new time reduction is given, but depending on the type 2 start winning that triggers the V winning big hit, the number of short time continuations is not counted down. For this reason, the number of balls to be played varies greatly depending on how many times the V winning jackpot is obtained by the money game until it exceeds the upper limit number of times at the time of the special figure big hit and runs through the hour. By the way, if the maximum number of times for the upper limit time of 100 times is given, it is expected that around 8 V winning big hits will be obtained before the 100 time shortage is passed, and there will be 15 prizes due to one V winning big hit. Ball x 8 count x 5 rounds = 600, and if 8 times, 4800 balls can be obtained.

  If the special symbol fluctuates due to the first class start winning at the first class start openings A1 and A2 under the heaven mode HM or the chance mode CM, the number of time reductions will be counted down for each change, but it will not go through the time reduction In the background battle effect of special figure fluctuation on the effect display device 7, when the ally and the enemy draw in the draw scene, the detaching symbol is confirmed and stopped, and if it falls off to fall into the normal mode GM through a short time, the ally becomes the enemy In the defeated defeat screen, the off symbol is confirmed and stopped, and in the case of a special figure big hit, the big hit symbol is confirmed and stopped in the victory scene where the ally has won the enemy. If the special figure big hit is made under heaven mode HM or chance mode CM, the upper and lower limit times are given again, and if it is up to 80 times, it shifts to the chance mode CM after big hit game, and if it is 81 to 100 times, the heaven after big hit game Transition to mode HM.

  As shown in FIG. 20, in a game that expects a special figure big hit that becomes a mainstream hit under the normal mode GM, the first type starting port is mainly configured by left-handing according to the display of the recommended left-handed symbol LS The prize is given to the thigh starting port A1 provided in the alternating distribution mechanism 8 that performs the above. When there is a first type start prize at the navel starting opening A1 or the like, the special symbols (special symbols) corresponding to the special symbols 7L, 7C, 7R change on the main effect indicator 71 of the effect display device 7. In the case of winning a big hit, after reaching the reach where the left and right effect symbols 7L and 7R are aligned in the same symbol, it develops into a super reach that develops a moving image effect or the like over a long period of about 1 minute.

  As shown in FIG. 21, when the big hit is won, the big win symbol in which the special symbols corresponding to the special symbols 7L, 7C, and 7R are arranged in the same design is stopped and the message “Big hit!” Is displayed. Is done. Subsequently, through a jackpot start demonstration effect that displays a congratulatory display of “celebration jackpot”, a jackpot game can be performed in which the second big winning opening 9 shown in FIGS. 13 to 16 is opened for a plurality of rounds.

  As shown in FIG. 22, in the big hit game, in the 1st to 5th rounds (1R to 5R), the battle between the ally and the enemy is developed on the main effect display 71 of the effect display device 7, and the ally attack The battle point is increased (such as + 1p) by the enemy, minus (−10p, etc.) by the enemy attack, and the numerical value becomes higher (+ 30p, etc.) if the damage is large due to the effective attack. In the big hit game, right-handed is recommended and the “right” arrow of the right-handed recommended symbol is displayed.

  At the end of the last 5 rounds (5R), the battle points that are the initial points are displayed, and if it is 0 points (0p) corresponding to level 1, it will be completed on the battle defeat screen where the allies defeat the enemy, but level 2 Even in the case of ~ 4, 0 points (0p) may be selected as the initial acquisition points. In addition, if the initial earned point is 1 point (1p) or more, it will be completed on the battle victory screen where the ally wins against the enemy, but even if the initial earned point is the maximum 30 points (30p), level 4 (chance mode There is a case of transition to CM), and there is a case of level 5 (transition to heaven mode HM). The player knows the transition destination mode from the background of the effect display device 7 after the big hit game ends.

  As shown in FIG. 23, in a game that expects a big win through a small hit from the base figure that is the mainstream hit under the heaven mode HM or the chance mode CM, hit the right according to the display of the right-hand recommended symbol RS. Thus, the aim is mainly to pass the ball to the right hit ball passing gate GT2 constituting the normal symbol lottery opportunity and to win the second type starting port B0. When the ball passes through the right hit ball passing gate GT2, on the main effect display unit 71 of the effect display device 7, the normal drawing effect symbols 7NL and 7NR are enlarged and displayed together with the circular decorative frame image 7na and change. In the case of winning in the normal symbol lottery, that is, per normal symbol, the right and left common symbol effect symbols 7NL and 7NR are aligned with the same symbol, the normal electric accessory is activated (normal electric operation), and the second type start port B0 is Long open.

  As shown in FIG. 24, when the second type start port B0 is opened for a long time, the second type start winning is easily obtained and is a small hit, on the main effect indicator 71 of the effect display device 7. In addition, the message “Small Win!” Is displayed, and a small hit game, which is a bonito game that opens the first big winning opening 4 shown in FIGS. 4 to 8 for a short period (1.5 seconds), can be performed.

  As shown in FIG. 25, in a small hit game, which is a honeymoon game, when there is a win in the V winning opening 6V, a big hit occurs, and the message “V winning big hit !!” is displayed on the main effect indicator of the effect display device 7. The big hit start demo 1 which is displayed on 71 and the sub effect indicators 72 and 73 are in a transparent state for visually recognizing the rear, and subsequently, the left and right divided movable bodies 35L and 35R are moved to the center to obtain “V”. Through the jackpot start demonstration effect 2 that displays a congratulatory display of “celebration V jackpot” on the main effect display 71 that has completed the character and becomes a full screen, a plurality of second grand prize winning holes 9 shown in FIGS. The jackpot game that will be released for the round will be possible.

  Note that the background moving image of the effect display device 7 may be various game backgrounds such as mahjong and janken instead of the battle. The upper limit of the number of lottery derivations for special symbol lottery that the short-time specification will be continued based on the special lottery type random number for random lottery, such as 10 times 10%, 20 times 10%, 30 times 20 %, 40 times 20%, 60 times 20%, 100 times 20%, and the initial points are changed by the mahjong video uplifting that is displayed on the effect display device 7 during special figure big hit games. The initial point is 1 for the first role in Tanyao, the upper limit is 20 times, the initial point is 1 to 10 for the second role such as toy toy, and the upper limit is 30. If it is 40 times, the initial points are 1 to 30 with four roles such as small three yuan, if the upper limit is 60 times, the initial points are 1 to 40 with six roles such as Chintsu, and if the upper limit is 100 times, the roles of Kokushi Musou and Dai Sangen are full. Initial poi 1 to 50, etc., after a special figure hit, if the upper limit is 100 times, move to the heaven mode called "Yarenso Zone", otherwise shift to the chance mode called "Mahjong Fight Zone", and then V prize In the case of a big hit, within the range of the number of remaining short hours, the points are added and added in correspondence with the mahjong up hand. The special figure is fixed and stopped against the background of Chombo.

In addition, it cannot be overemphasized that the numerical value about the probability in the above Example, the frequency | count, time, a ball, etc. is only an illustration.
Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, when the special figure big hit is made under the heaven mode HM or the chance mode CM, the upper limit time reduction number is given again, and the game is shifted to the post-hit game chance mode CM or the heaven mode HM according to the number of times. However, the special figure big hit is rare in the heaven mode HM or chance mode CM, so if the special figure big hit is in the heaven mode HM or chance mode CM, the upper limit number of times is 100 times. To the heaven mode HM.
