Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a player to make large profit when a shot ball flows into a continuation cup and a continuation condition is fulfilled by correlating a movable member by a continuation signal with a continuation condition which converts a second state repeatedly profitable to a player. CONSTITUTION:When a shot ball happens to land in either of the specified winning cups or reach the first condition passing through a specified winning framework, another game is begun by another game device. When a player operates a stop switch 12 as a stop operation part provided on the surface of a pachinko machine 1 within a specified time, a high-speed conversion of each variable indicators 11a, 11b, 11c is stopped intermittently and any figure from 1 to 0 is indicated through windows. Besides, when a player does not operate a stop switch 12 during another game within a specified time, the same state comes out as when a player operates the stop switch 12 by an electric control means when a specified time is over. Thus, when another game is finished and a specified condition is fulfilled, a special game is begun and large profit is brought to a player, but a little when the specified condition is not fulfilled.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention is characterized in that when a ball is hit or an initial condition is achieved in the gaming section, a separate game starts, and when a specific condition is achieved by the separate game, a special variable prize winning device is activated. This relates to a pachinko machine that starts a special game that makes it easier to hit a ball or win a prize.

(Prior Art) Various pachinko machines have been developed in the past that are configured so that when a batted ball enters a specific winning slot, the variable winning device or the batted ball is converted into a state in which it is easy to win.

Then, the special game that is performed in a state where the variable winning device is easily able to receive a hit ball ends when the variable winning device hits a ball or wins a prize.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, on the condition that the batted ball enters a specific winning hole, the variable prize winning device is converted into a state where it is easy for the batted ball to enter the winning hole,
If the special game ends immediately when a ball hits the variable prize winning device, the profits earned by the player will not be very large, and the interest in the Bachinko game cannot be sufficiently increased. On the other hand, if the special game is configured so that it can be repeated without limit, it becomes extremely difficult to balance the interests of the Bajinko parlor and the players.

<Means for Solving the Problems> (The invention was proposed in view of the above, and it is based on the invention that when a player hits a ball or hits an initial condition within the game club, a separate game starts, and a specific condition is set depending on the side game. A pachinko machine that, when achieved, starts a special game in which it becomes easier for batted balls to win prizes through the operation of a special variable winning device, in which the special variable winning device is provided with a continuation opening and a general prize opening, and the batted balls that land in the continuation opening flow down. A special detector is placed in front of the special flow path, and the general flow path that detects the batted ball that has entered the general prize opening is merged with the special flow path on the F flow side of the special detector, and the This shows the detector used to count winning balls.

<Function> When the ball hits the initial condition in the gaming section, a separate game starts, and when the specific condition is achieved by the game concerned, a special variable winning device is activated to start a special game that makes it easier to win the ball or win. Then, when the number of winning balls detected by the winning ball counting detector during the special game reaches a preset value, the special game ends, or a ball hit or a winning ball enters the continuation slot of the special variable winning device during the special game, When the special detector detects this hit ball, the special game is continued (Embodiment) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, the surface of the pachinko/ff machine 1 has a ball supply tray 2, and when a player puts a ball into the supply tray 2 and operates the operating section 3, a firing 914 is activated. The balls placed in are fired one after the other. The fired ball is guided above the game part 7 on the surface of the game board 6 through the guide rail 5, and flows down the game part 7 at 8 while hitting an obstacle nail. If the ball enters the winning hole 8 while it is flowing down, it becomes safe, and a winning mechanism (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 6 is operated to discharge a fixed number of prize balls into the saucer 2'. However, if any of the balls that hit the game section 7 ft above the ball do not reach the player f day 8, the ball will enter the outlet 9 provided at the lower end of the game section 7 and be confiscated.

In the gaming section 7 marked L, a first condition achieved by hitting a ball is set as an initial motion condition. According to the embodiment of the drawings, the first condition is that the ball enters either the left or right special winning openings 10a or fob provided above the gaming section 7, or the specific winning slot provided on the gaming section 70F side. This is accomplished by hitting the ball past 10c. It is desirable that this first condition is not easily achieved, so the special winning hole 10a is
, it is preferable to make it difficult for a batted ball to enter the lob or to make it difficult for a batted ball to pass through the specific prize winning slot lOc. In addition, a switch mechanism is provided in each of the specific winning holes 10a, 10b and the specific winning hole 7% 10c, and when a batted ball enters or passes through, the switch mechanism is momentarily turned on to detect the achievement of the first condition.

When the first condition is achieved by the ball hitting one of the specific winning slots or passing through a specific winning slot, a different game is started by a different gaming device. According to the embodiment shown in the drawings, this separate game machine is operated by three variable display devices 11a, llb, and llc that display an indistinguishable high-speed conversion display on the display section.

Each of these variable indicators may be formed mechanically by rotating a drum or disk at high speed, displaying numbers from rlJ to 0, for example, or by rotating seven segments on a daily basis. This may be done by electrically controlling segment displays arranged in a square shape to rapidly convert numbers from "1" to "0".

In any case, if the ball is hit or the first condition is achieved, another game will start on the 11T variable display, and this other game will last for a predetermined time (
(for example, 7 seconds). If the player operates the stop switch 12 as a stop operation section provided on the surface of the pachinko machine within this predetermined time, each variable display 11a, ll
B, LLC's high-speed conversion stops intermittently, and "l" appears in the window hole.
Any number between ``0'' and ``0'' will be displayed. Also, if the player does not operate the stop switch 12 within a predetermined time during another game, each variable display 11a, 11b is controlled by the electric control means when the predetermined time ends.

The high-speed conversion of 11c stops intermittently, resulting in the same state as if the player had operated the stop switch 12.

As a result of completing another game in this way, if a specific condition is achieved, a special game is started and brings a large profit to the player, and if a specific condition is not met, a special game is brought to a large profit to the player. This specific condition is, for example, the variable display 11a,
This is a case where all the numbers "7" are aligned in the window holes of llb and llc and the vehicle stops, and in other cases, there is no specific condition.

This specific condition is determined by the determination circuit determining the stopped state of each 111 change indicator.

In the special game that starts when a specific condition is achieved by another game, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, the special variable prize winning device 13 provided in the game section 7 changes to a state where it is easy to receive a batted ball, and this state is maintained at a fixed interval (for example, 30 seconds). This special variable prize winning device 2t13 has a horizontal opening [1 part 14
Guide pieces 15a and 15b are provided below the opening 14 at a certain distance on the left and right sides, and auxiliary guide pieces 16a and 16b are provided above the opening 14 on the left and right sides.

The guide pieces 15a and 15b described above are connected to electromagnets 17a and 17b provided on the back surface of the game board 6. That is, the tips of the lots 18a, 18b of each itt magnet 17a, 17b are connected to the actuating rod 19a.

The actuating rod 19a is pivotally connected to the proximal end of the actuating rod 19b.

Bins 22a, 22b of rotating rods 21a, 21b whose base ends are pivotally connected to operating frames 20a, 20b provided at the tips of 19b.
A support pin 23a is fitted at the tip of the pivot rods 21a, 21b.

23b is passed through the game board 6 and protrudes from the surface, and guide pieces 16a, 16b are attached to the protruding ends of the support pins 23a, 23b.
, 6 on 24b.

In the demagnetized state of each electromagnet 17a, 17b, the support pin 23a
, 23b is located at one end of the elastic holes 24a, 24b, and each guide piece 15a, 15b is opened and placed below part 14 in a separated state. Therefore, most of the batted balls flowing down the gaming section 7 cannot enter the opening 14, but each "#"
i, magnet 17a.

When 17b is energized, the lots 18a and 18b are attracted, and the rotating lots 21a and 21b rotate due to the rotation of the operating ports 19a and 19b.
Each guide piece 15a, 15b at the tip of 21b moves along the arcuate hole 24a, 24b, and each guide piece 15a is attached to the lower edge of the open part 14.

15b (dashed line in Figures 2 and 3). A game played in this state is a special game, and the hit ball flowing down the game section 7 rides on the guide pieces 15a, 15b and rolls into the opening 14, becoming a safe ball. Therefore, the special game starts by energizing each electromagnet 17a, 17b, and continues for the time that the electromagnets 17a, 17b are energized,
When the 'itm stones 17a and 17b are demagnetized, they return to their original state due to the force of the spring and their own weight.

Note that each of the auxiliary guide pieces 16a and 16b is the guide piece 1.
Similar to 5a and 15b, the auxiliary electromagnet 25a is connected to auxiliary electromagnets 25a and 25b provided on the back side of the game board via auxiliary operation openings 26a and 26b and auxiliary swing rods 27a and 27b.

25b or each auxiliary guide piece 16a is demagnetized.

Both guide pieces 16b are located on one side of the opening 14, or when the auxiliary electromagnets 25a and 25b are energized, they are located on the side edge of the opening 14.The functions of the auxiliary guide pieces 16a and 16b will be described later.

As mentioned above, when a specific condition is achieved in a separate game, the electromagnets 17a and 17b are energized, and the guide pieces 15a and 15b are positioned at the lower side of the opening 14, resulting in a special game where it is easy to receive the ball. A batted ball flowing downward continuously enters the opening 14 and becomes a safe ball. And the opening 14
There is a continuation opening 28 into which it is difficult for a batted ball to enter, and a general winning opening 29 into which a batted ball can easily enter.If a ball that enters the opening 14 during a special game happens to enter the continuation opening 28, the batted ball will be awarded a special prize. It flows down the flow path 30 and is detected by the special detector 31. When the special detector 31 detects a ball in the channel 30, after the special game ends, ff<2nd special game! Continue. That is,
When a special condition is achieved during a special game, such as by hitting a ball or by hitting the continuation port 28, the special detector 31 is turned on, and the electromagnets 17a and 17b that were energized are demagnetized and then energized again, and the second
The first special technique is repeated. If a ball enters the continuation slot 28 during the second special game, the second special game or the third special game will be repeated even if the game ends. Therefore, if a special condition is achieved during the continuation of the special game, it will be repeated many times. However, if the special condition is not achieved by the ball hitting the opening 14 during the special game, the special game ends when the special game ends. In this way, if the first condition is achieved in the game club by hitting a ball, a separate game will occur, and if a specific condition is achieved in the separate game, a special game will occur that can bring significant profits to the player. If a special condition is achieved during the continuation of the special game, the special game will be played again after the continuation of the special game. Therefore, the special game can be repeated as many times as the special conditions are achieved.

Therefore, in an uninvented embodiment, the number of winning balls in the special variable winning bag fi13, which is cumulatively counted from the start of the special game, is set in advance to a certain number (for example, 50 balls).

Regardless of the repetition of the special game, the special variable winning device 13 is configured to end the special game when a fixed number of balls are hit or a prize is won. The total number of winning balls to the special variable winning device 13 is determined by a numerical value set by a counter circuit. In addition, in order to count the winning batted balls in the special variable winning device 13, the special flow path 30 and the general flow path 32 extending from the general winning hole 29 are merged downstream of the special detector 31. , one ball is detected and counted by a detector 33, which is a detector for counting winning balls, and is placed on the downstream side of the confluence point. When the total number of winning balls in the special variable winning bag W113 counted in this way reaches a certain number set by the counter circuit,
The electromagnets 17a and 17b are no longer excited by the electric control means, and the special game is stopped.

A pachinko machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be explained below based on the block diagram of FIG.

A batted ball flowing down the gaming section or a specific winning opening 10a.

tab, or by passing through the specific winning slot 10c and being detected by any of the detectors 10a', fob', and 10c' facing each winning slot 10a, lob, or winning slot 10c. When the first condition is achieved,
Each prize opening 10a.

10b or the detector 10a facing the winning frame 10c,
Job', loc' output or OR gate 3
4 to the register 35, and the flip-flop 3
6a, 36b, 36c are set, whereby the Q output of each flip-flop 36a, 36b, 36c becomes either low level or high level, and this high level signal is applied to the ant gates 37a, 37b, 37c connected individually. Since each oscillation is given by one force ``W 38 a.

Every time there is a signal from 38b, 38c, a 1O advance counter 39a, 39b, 39c input signal is input.

Upon receiving this check signal, each decimal counter 39a
, 39b, 39C are l, 2. ... generates an output of 9.0 at a speed according to the frequency of the oscillator, and this output is sent to the variable indicators 11a, llb, llc via the driver, and then output to each variable indicator. The numbers from rlJ to "0" are changing rapidly in an invisible state. There is a separate game in this state, and this separate game continues for a certain period of time (for example, 7 seconds). When the player operates the stop switch 12 within a certain period of time in this separate game, an input is input to the reset side of the flip-flop 36c via the OR gate 40. When the input is input to the reset side, the Q output of the flip-flop 36c becomes low level, so the AND gate 37c which connects the input to this Q output closes, and therefore the decimal counter 39c changes immediately before the ant gate 37c closes. The number that was being counted stops, and the variable display 11c visually displays the number.

On the other hand, since the Q output becomes high level due to the state reversal of the flip-flop 36c, the tie 741b connected to this output is activated and outputs a high level output after a predetermined time elapses, for example, 1 second. . Since this output is given to the reset input of the flip-flop 36b, it has the same effect as the previous flip-flop 36c.
The advance counter 39b stops and the number d1 changes display 11.
b and the flip-flop 36b
Another timer 41a' is the inversion of the Q output of ? : [Move. Since the output of this timer 41a is input to the reset input of the remaining flip-flop 36a, the predetermined time 1, for example, 1 second tIf, is set in this timer.
When f has elapsed, the state of the flip-flop 36a is also reversed due to the high level output generated by the timer 41a. Therefore, as before, the decimal counter 39a counts a fixed number and stops outputting it, and the corresponding variable display 11a also stops displaying that number.

A timer 42 is connected to the Q output of the flip-flop 36c which is first reset by the operation of the stop switch 2, and this output is mkl connected to the reset input of the flip-flop 36c via the OR gate 40. At the same time that the flip-flop 36c is set, the timer 42 is activated. Then, the timer 42
After a predetermined period of time (for example, 7 seconds) has elapsed, the state of the flip-flop 36c is forcibly reversed so that the above-described circuit operation occurs. This allows the circuit system including the counter to return to its initial state after the set time of the timer 42 has elapsed, even if the player carelessly or intentionally does not press the stop switch 12. In other words, another game is ended. Therefore, if the timer 42 does not work, the other game will continue unless the stop switch 12 is operated.

Each lO advance counter 39a as described above.

39b and 39c each output a predetermined count value, output a binary code 10a, and output a full-chip 1-2-4-8.
Each 4-bit output with a weight of This discrimination circuit 43 operates at t51, the second . For example, when all the counter outputs become a predetermined decimal value, such as "7" (all three digits of the display are set to "7"), the first output 44a outputs the third output. The second output 44b has the same lO base value of the outputs of the counters 39a and 39b, that is, only the variable indicators 11c and llb are "1" and rlJ
, r4J and "4" are equal numbers), then the third output 4
4c is transmitted in other cases.

:51 When the output 44a is transmitted, it is the start of a special game, and this output is obtained by the power of the ant gate 45a, and the other inputs of the ant gate 45a are the blip flow that is finally reset with respect to the counter. 36aQ output.

Therefore, AND gate 45a opens, and OR gate 4 opens.
Through 6, a high level can be provided to the single power of another Ant Gate 47a. The other input of this ant gate 47a receives the Q output of a flip-flop 48a which has a set input #tc connected to the output of this ant gate 47a.
The AND gate 47a takes an ant, and the flip-flop 48a is inverted to make the Q output high level. Of course, at the same time, the Q output of the flip-flop 48a becomes low level, so the AND gate 47a which set the flip-flop 48a is closed at this point.

When the flip-flop 48a is set in this way,
The high-level Q output is given to one of the three-input ant gates 49a.

On the other hand, the other input, which is the inverting input of this AND gate 49a, is a 4-bit parallel output terminal (for convenience, numbers O, l, 23 from the lowest order) whose clock input is connected to the output of this AND gate 49a. ) is receiving feedback from the most significant bit (NOI) of the shift register 50a, and this input is the inverted input of the shift register 50a or the flip-flop 48a that precedes it. Since the low level Q output at the time is inverted and reset, the AND gate 49a is in a state where it is controlled by the other remaining input. Since the last input of the AND gate 49a is connected to the output of an oscillator 51 that emits a high-level pulse signal at an appropriate frequency, the output of the AND gate 49a becomes high level in accordance with this frequency discrepancy. , each time the shift register 50a makes the output rlJ or high level one bit at a time, or this continues up to the most significant bit (NO, 3).
The driver 53b is operated via the magnet, and the electromagnet 17a is excited. Then, with a slight delay, the NO, 2 output changes to a high level, and the driver 5 passes through the OR gate 52b.
3c is activated, and the electromagnet 17b is excited. Furthermore, NOI
When the output becomes high level, the inverting input of the ant gate 49a is inverted and the ant gate 49a is closed, and the shift register 50a stops with all bits becoming "1".

Therefore, as the blue electromagnets 17a and 17b continue to be excited, the respective guide pieces 15a and 15b! A special game continues at one side of the river mouth section 14.

It is the timer 54a that is activated by the high level transition of the N023 output of the shift register 50a that ends the continuation of this special game after a certain period of time.

That is, after the timer 54a is activated (TL magnet 17a).

17b excitation 1a) Set certain period of time (for example, 30 seconds)
When the time elapses, a high level output is emitted. This output is given to the output of an AND gate 55a whose output is connected to the reset input of the flip-flop 48a, and either the value input of the ant gate 55a or the Q of the flip-flop 48a is output.
Since the level is already high at this point due to the feedback of the output, an AND operation is performed on both of them, and the flip-flop 48a is reset by the output of the gate 55a. The ant gate 55a, which was reset at the same time as this reset, returns to its original closed state.

Due to the above-mentioned flip-flop 48a glue section,
The shift register 50a, which inverts the Q output and uses it as a reset input, is reset, and all bits become 0 or low level. As a result, the shift register 50a also returns to its initial state, so both 1! The magnets 17a and 17b are demagnetized and the special game ends.

Note that the timer 54a is used to determine the period of time during which the special game continues.
The operation time of each circuit (shift time, etc.) is added to the set time (30 seconds) of the timer, or since the operating time of each circuit is negligible compared to the set time of the timer, the blue electromagnet 17a, It is recognized that the excitation time of 17b is determined by the timer 54a.

From then on, the detector 10a', fob'10c' is turned on and the 10a counters 39a, 39b, 3 are turned on by operating the stop switch 12 or by counting the timer 42.
9c stops, and the number of outputs is all "7" (i.e., the weight output of l-2-4, the output of "l" 2 weight 8, or the output of "0").
'') The blue electromagnets 17a and 17b are energized and demagnetized after 308', that is, one cycle of one special game is understood in detail.

However, if the ball that entered the opening 14 enters the a-muzzle 28 while this periodic operation continues, flows down the special flow path 30 and turns on the special detector 31, the blue electromagnet 1 is turned on again for 30 seconds.
Since 7a and 17b are excited, the special game is repeated. That is, the Q output of the flip-flop 48a before being reset by the timer 54a is connected to the value input of the AND/GET 56 which outputs the output of the special detector 31 by itself. Therefore, both 'tm stones 17a,
If the special detector 31 is turned on during the continuation of 17b, the AND gate 56 will be opened and the free flop 57 will be selected. This flip-flop 57 is a storage circuit until information about the next IT magnet excitation operation arrives.
Next, a signal for exciting both magnets is sent to the AND gate 58 as a high level Q output, and is kept on standby.

Then, when the first special game ends and the output of the AND gate 55a becomes high level as described above, the one-shot multiviralator circuit 59 emits one pulse, and this pulse is applied to the AND gate 58. It will be done. Therefore, the AND gate 58 performs an AND with the high level Q output of the flip-flop 57 which is already on standby as described in -1-, and sends a high level signal to the AND gate 47a through the OR gate 46. It will be done.

If this happens, the rotating operation will start first using the first output 44a from the separate circuit 43, so the two-way magnets 17a and 17b or the timer 54a will be energized for the set time and the special game will start. Repeated.

Note that the output of the one-shot multi-vibrator circuit 59 resets the flip-flop 57 via the OR gate 60, and the reset flip-flop 57 is activated by the special detector 3 when a special condition is achieved during repeated special games.
The signal when 1 is turned on will be stored. If the special condition is not achieved, there is no signal from the special detector 31, and after the special game ends, all circuits return to the original state, and if there is a signal from the special detector 31, the special game is repeated again. It turns out.

In other words, is it possible to continue the special game under the set conditions? The excitation operation of a stones 17a and 17b or the corresponding jlI
Is it possible to obtain an infinite number of continuations if the continuation condition is one basic unit? In other words, even during the special game, the ball continues to be hit, and even if one of the balls hits the special condition, the special game with the same conditions will be repeated again, so the special condition will not be affected during the special game. The special game can be repeated an infinite number of times as long as the goal is achieved.

Pachinko game parlors will suffer a great disadvantage.

In order to prevent this, the repetition of the special game may be stopped by so-called stopping. However, as is well known, stopping is done by controlling the supply of prize balls to a tank installed on the back of the pachinko machine, which results in uneven number of special games9. The number of eel returns in the special game will be different depending on whether the game is stopped after replenishing the legal ball 3 times or when the game is stopped after 5 times. will lose interest.

Therefore, in order to limit the total number of winning balls in the special game to a constant value (for example, 50 balls) by means of electrical control-f stage, the following circuit configuration is added to 44 in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the N-ary counter 61 is set to N=50 to make it a 50-ary counter, and the flip-flop 57 as a special detector signal storage circuit is reset by the carry signal (digit signal) of the counter 61 via the OR gate 60. That's what I do. The N-ary counter 61 counts the first winning ball to the special variable winning device 13 in the first special game as one ball, and continues to count 50 balls regardless of whether the special game is repeated. . Therefore, since the carry signal from the counter 61 is not output when the 49th prize is lost, the flip-flop 57, which is a memory circuit, stores this fact every time there is an output from the special detector 31 for each special game. , When that special game ends, the next special game is played. However, when the 50th winning ball is counted, the N-ary counter 61 continues to emit a carry signal to keep the reset input of the foot flop 57 at a high level, so even if there is an output from the special detector 31 during that time, , the Q output of the flip-flop 57 is pulled to a low level. This carry signal also resets the flip-flop 48a via the ant gate 55a. Therefore, even if there is an output from the special detector 31 during the integration of the special game, that is, even if the special condition is achieved, the output from the special detector 31 will be the same, and it goes without saying that the subsequent special game will not occur. * Immediately cancel the ongoing special game.

In order to produce such an operation, the N-ary (50 base)
The counter 61 requires the following conditions. That is, it must be reset before the start of the special game, and rlJ must be counted up for each winning ball in the special game.Such conditions can be created by a person skilled in the art by creating arbitrary logic. In the embodiment shown in one drawing, processing is performed as follows.

First, the counter is reset using the first output 44a of the discrimination circuit 43, which is the starting condition for the first special game.
In addition, the winning ball counter for the special game inputs the ball detection signal from the detector 33 that detects the ball that has entered the special variable winning device 13.

Therefore, before the first start of the special game, the 50-decimal counter 61 is reset by the first output 44a, and when 50 batted balls win in the special variable winning device 13 and the signal from the detector 33 is given 50 times, Since a carry signal is issued to reset the flip-flop 57 and the flip-flop 48a, not only the subsequent special game will not be played, but also the ongoing special game will be stopped.

For convenience during maintenance and inspection, a monitor switch 62 is provided on the back of the pachinko machine in this embodiment, and when operated, the respective decimal counters 39a and 39b are
, 39c all transmit the 1 (] base number "7",
This switch output is input to the preset input of each decimal counter. However, each detector 10a'10b'
10c' turns on each counter 39a, 39b.

Flip-flop 36a which activates 39c.

36b, 36c are all connected to respective corresponding clip props 36a, 36b in the signal line from this monitor switch 62 to the preset input, so that this monitor is only possible when in the reset state.

Ant gates 63a, 6 that take the Q output of 36c and ant
3b and 63c are provided. This explanation is based on the case where the first condition is achieved by hitting the ball and there is a separate game, and in this separate game a specific condition is achieved and a special game is created. Operate.

However, if the specific condition is not achieved in another game and it becomes the first profit game, that is, each IOa counter 39a, 3
10 of only counters 39c and 39b among 9b and 39c
A case will be described in which the discrimination circuit 43 issues the second output 44b when the decimal values are aligned.

In this case, the profit level for the player is much lower than that of the special game, and the second output 44b and the flip-flop 36a, which have been reset as described above, are
The AND gate 45b performs an AND with the Q output of the ant gate 47b, and this AND output is given to the output of the other ant gate 47b. The value input of this ant gate 47b is a flip-flop circuit 48 with this gate output as a set input.
b's (output), the corresponding AND gate 47b will eventually be opened, and the flip-flop 48b will be sected and the Q output will be at a high level.At the same time, the Q output will be at a low level and the AND gate 47b will be opened. On the other hand, the high level signal of the Q output due to the set of flip-flop 48b has one inverted input = 1 of input ant gate 49b.
the inverting input is sent to this gate 49b.
Receives the first bit output of the shift register 50b having a 6-bit parallel output terminal which receives the output of
Since this output is at a low level, every time the output of the oscillator 51 enters the remaining non-inverting input, the AND gate 49b passes it, and therefore the shift register 50b sequentially outputs parallel bits toward the LSB. rlJ the output
From high level to high level, first of all, try bar 53
The auxiliary electromagnet 25a is excited via a, firstly the electromagnet 17a is excited via the OR gate 52a and the driver 53b, and then the electromagnet 17a is excited via the OR gate 52b and the driver 53c.
! The magnet 17b is excited, and finally the auxiliary electromagnet 25b is excited. Then, if the shift register 50b is followed by the MSB output rlJ, this output closes the ant gate 49b and the output of the oscillator 51 is no longer given to this register 50b, so each electromagnet 25a,
17a, 17b, and 25b are excited like *a. This state is the mode of the first profit game, and each electromagnet 17a,
17b, 25a.

When 25b is excited, the guide pieces 15a and 15 are activated as described above.
b is located at the lower side of the opening 14, and the auxiliary guide pieces lea and 16b are located at the left and right sides of the opening 14. Therefore, when a hit ball flowing down the gaming section 7 reaches the opening 14, it is guided by one of the guide pieces and enters the inside, becoming a safe ball, increasing the probability of winning the hit ball.

The first profit game described above does not continue indefinitely, but only for the set time of the timer 54b. This timer 54b starts operating with the MSB output of the shift register 50b, and when it times up after a set time (for example, 15 seconds) has elapsed, it is ANDed with the ζ output of the flip-flop 48b that has been set, or is taken by the AND gate 55b. gate 55
At the same time, the output of flip-flop 48b returns to its initial state through the OR gate 64a, and the low-level ζ output is applied to the reset input of shift register 50b having an inverted reset input, and the shift register 50b is reset. All '2Ii magnets 25a, 17a,
Demagnetize 17b and 25b. Therefore, the first profit game is set by the timer 54b, for example, for 15 seconds.
There is no repeat function like the special game described above, and when the game ends, the game returns to the initial state of waiting for the second output 44b.

In addition, in the circuit of the first profit game, the structure of the symbol with a numeral is the same as the structure of the circuit in the previous special game.

On the other hand, if the player's batted ball achieves the first condition in the game section, but does not achieve anything in another game, the determination circuit 43
When the output 44c is generated, it becomes a second profit game. This second profit game has a lower profit status for the player than the first profit game, and the circuit configuration of this second profit game is almost the same as that of the first profit game, as is clear from the drawings. To explain the electrical processing mode of this second profit game, the third output 44c and the ζ of the flip-flop 36a are
An AND with the output is taken by the AND gate 45c, and this AND output is given to the single power of another gate 47c.This AND gate 47c receives the ζ output of the flip-flop 48c The flip-flop 48c is set and the ζ output becomes high level.This high level signal of the ζ output is sent to one non-inverting input of a three-input AND gate 49c which has one inverting input. , the inverting input receives the most significant bit output of a shift register 50c having a 4-bit parallel output terminal that receives the output of this ant gate 49c as a clock, and since this output is at a low level, an oscillator is connected to the other non-inverting input. Each time the output of 51 is input, the ant gate 49c passes it, and therefore the shift register 50c sequentially sets the parallel bit output to rlJ or high level from LSB to MSB. The electromagnet 17a is excited, and the electromagnet 17b is first excited via the OR gate 52b and the driver 53c, and then the MSB output is sent to rlJ.
Then, this output closes the AND gate 49c and the output of the oscillator 51 is no longer given to the register 50c.
Both electromagnets 17a, 17b are continuously excited. This state is a second profit game mode, and both electromagnets 17a and 17b
Both guide pieces 15a, 15b are attached to the lower side of the excitation opening 14.
is located, and a part of the hit ball flows into the opening 14 by both guide pieces 15a and 15b and becomes a winning ball.

Therefore, the second profit game is Ml magnet 17a.

Guide pieces 15a and 15b move to opening 1 by excitation of 17b.
4 and receives a batted ball flowing down the gaming section, and continues for the time set by the timer 54c (for example, 5 seconds). The timer 54c, like the timer 54b, operates on the MSB output of the shift register 50c, and when the time has elapsed for 5 seconds, the AND gate 55 performs an AND operation with the ζ output of the selected flip-flop 48c.
c, and the output of the AND gate 55c resets the flip-flop 48c to return to the initial state, and
The low-level ζ output is applied to the reset input of the shift register 50c via the OR gate 64b, and the shift register 50c is reset, so that both electromagnets 17a are removed.

17b is demagnetized.

Therefore, the second profit game continues for, for example, 5 seconds set by the timer 54c, and has no repeat function like the first profit game.

In addition, in the second profit game, the structure of the code with C added to the number is the same as the circuit structure in the special game.

In addition, in the circuit for the first profit game and the second profit game, OR gates 64a and 64b are provided in the reset signal lines to the shift registers 50b and 50c, and the OR gate h84a
, 64b or the reset signal line to the special game shift register 50a is connected to the reset signal line to the special game shift register 50a. This is because the electromagnet is demagnetized.

Next, a case will be described in which the probability of occurrence of a special game is electrically adjusted.

Now three decimal counters 39a, 39b.

Assuming that the output of 39c is not modified in any way, considering it as a decimal number, the probability that all of these output numbers will be a single number, such as "7", is 1/10', that is, IOf[1/1 However, in another game, the specific conditions are achieved only once out of 1000 times. Considering the state of the weighted bits of each IO counter in this case, 1 weight of 8 results in r 0IIIJ.

However, as shown by the connecting line 65a, the output of any one of the three counters (for example, the decimal counter 39a), that is, the LSB of
If you pull up to y ce and fix it to "l", the remaining 8
-4-2 bit is the roth bit” is the lO base number r7J
Enter "6" (Ollo) outside of (0111). That is, even if the counter 39a or r6 actually outputs "7"
”, and in the end this counter 39a is “7”.
or "6", it can be considered that r7J is output. Therefore, this counter 39a is "7".
The probability of outputting is 1/5 compared to 1/1 of the other counters 39b and 39c. Therefore, each counter 39a, 39b.

The probability of getting 39c or all "7" is l15xl/10x
l/IO=17,500, and the probability of a special game occurring increases. In exactly the same way, if the connecting wire 65b is used to pull up the two decimal counters LsB to the power supply potential of 10 V, . The probability of matching is 115x1/5
x 1 /10 = 1 /250, which is 1/250, *each force'): J939a, 39b, 39c
) Knee also touches J & ff165c 1. If S8 is pulled up, it becomes 115X115X115=1/125, and the specific condition is achieved only once out of 125 times in another game. Of course, this precise mW adjustment can be performed for any bit output, and instead of pulling it up to the power supply potential, whichever bit is pulled down to the ground potential, that is, fixed to binary "o". This can also be done by

The electrical operations of the special 8q game, the first profit game, and the second profit game described above are just one example, and the circuits can be designed freely by other electronic means that can be considered.

Note that the design of the present invention can be changed in any way as long as it conforms to the scope of the claims. For example, as described above, the circuit can be changed appropriately, the number of N-ary counters can be changed, or this The counter may be reset based on the signal for ending the special game, or other conditions may also be set for the special game, and in fact, this can be done in any manner by the circuit 4IIJili.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, the thrill and excitement of custom-made pachinko games can be enhanced by making players expect that they will win big profits if they hit the ball into the special winning slot in the special game. While the pachinko parlors can provide the same amount of benefits as the pachinko parlors, they also place restrictions on the continuation and termination of special games in order to harmonize the interests of players and pachinko parlors.

It is possible to increase the popularity of gaming without diminishing it.

In addition, the ball that entered the special prize opening and the batted ball that entered the general prize opening can be rationally flowed down and detected, so even if various functions are added to the special variable winning guise, it will not be too expensive. In particular, the configuration of the back side of the game board can be simplified.
