It's becoming like that.

FIG. 5 is a circuit block diagram of the present invention, and FIG.
The operation of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

Now, when the operation dial 41 of the pachinko machine 1 is rotated, the firing device 42 is activated, the firing rod 43 reciprocates from side to side, and the balls rise along the guide rail 44 and are fired onto the gaming section 2. First, in the first game section 6, the ball hits the windmill 4 and obstacle nails 5 and takes a different path and jumps, and sometimes it enters the prize winning device 3 and a prize ball is obtained, but when it does not enter, most of the balls are placed in the second game section 6.
It flows down along the shelf 8 of the gaming section 10, passes through the gap between the variable prize winning device 7 and the shelf 8, and is discharged from the out hole 9. At other times, the specific mode generator 11
The ball rests on the stop 16 of the ball. At this time, the player is given a chance and can press the launch switch 13 provided on the surface of the pachinko machine 1. When the switch 13 is pressed, the one shot circuit 45 is activated.
The driver 46 operates the launch solenoid 15,
The ball resting on the stop part 16 is flipped upwards. When the ball flies up and hits the detection lever 17, the ball detector 47 detects it, the micro switch 18 is turned on, and the timer circuit 48 activates the drivers 49, 49' for a certain period of time (for example, 10 seconds).
This activates the chip solenoids 40, 40', opens the variable prize winning device 7 provided in the second gaming section, and at the same time generates sound from the speaker 52.

Furthermore, if a storage device 19 is provided in the first gaming section 6, several balls can be stored on the rising frames 24, 24' from the entrances and exits 21, 21' provided on the side, and in this embodiment, There are two sets of upper and lower lift frames. The detection signal from the launched ball detector 47 is applied to the one-shot circuit 54 via the OR circuit 53, and the driver 55' operates the storage solenoid 23' which operates the lower lifting frame, and the output of the one-shot circuit 54 is sent to the one-shot circuit 54. 57
The driver 55 also operates the storage solenoid 23 which operates the upper lifting frame. That is, the storage solenoid 23 operates with a delay from the storage solenoid 23' by a certain period of time determined by the one-shot circuit 57.

Furthermore, when the game ends with balls remaining in the storage device 19, if the payout switch 14 is pressed, the output signal is applied to the one shot circuit 54 via the OR circuit 53, and the shot ball detector 47 outputs a detection signal. In the same way as when the ball is added, the storage solenoids 23 and 23' are operated to discharge the ball.

Since the present invention is configured in this way, the player can first enjoy a conventional pachinko game in the first gaming section, and even if the ball does not win, he can expect a chance to generate a specific pattern. Based on the operation of the external operation unit due to the occurrence of a specific mode, the variable prize winning device opens and the first ball to be hit is opened.
Balls that could not win in the gaming section can now win in the second gaming section, and by timing the operation of the external operation section, it is possible to generate a large number of winning balls.

In addition, if a storage device is provided in the first game section, the first
There is also the pleasure of storing balls in a storage device in the game club, and when the variable prize winning device is opened, all the balls placed in the storage device enter the variable prize winning device, and more winning balls can be obtained at once. Even if you have a chance to activate the specific mode generator, if you wait for as many balls as possible to be stored in the storage device before activating it, both the balls stored in the storage device and the balls to be hit will be Enter the variable prize winning device,
You can get more winning balls and the game becomes more interesting.

Further, if a payout switch is provided on the surface of the pachinko machine together with a launch switch, balls left in the storage device by a previous player will not be used by a subsequent player.

In the present invention, the reason why the first game section is made more than half of the area of the game section is that the ball that is hit does not fall to the second game section in a short period of time, and windmills, obstacle nails, etc. change the direction of the ball being hit. This is so that the ball can be expected to change its course and jump using a device and a device that makes the ball jump, making it possible to expect a variety of movement.
