Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a pachinko machine which has an auxiliary symbol display means, and in which the probability of a "hit" on the auxiliary symbol display means is changed when a game state or a specific game state is entered. Regarding machines.

(Prior art) Conventionally, in order to increase the 9118 of the game, for example, when rB r7. A so-called first type pachinko machine configured as follows is well known.

In addition, in such a pachinko machine, when the movable member of the variable winning device is opened to a state where it is easy to win a hit ball in a specific state IE, there is an obstacle so that the movable member allows the ball to enter another winning hole. The nails were often bent extremely to induce so-called bonus winnings in specific game conditions, and such adjustments increased the interest of the game.

<Part 1 of the Invention or Problem to be Solved> However, inducing extra prizes by bending the obstacle nails to an extreme degree is different from the game that was anticipated when the pachinko machine was designed, and cannot be recognized as a healthy game. hard.

For this reason, even if the obstacle nail is not bent unduly, the player will be satisfied with the 94! There was a desire to develop a pachinko machine that could enhance the game's appeal.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and includes a game board (6) having a game section (8) forming a winning area, and a special game state in which a game state is preset. a specific game state detecting means (73) for detecting that a specific game state has been reached, and a variable prize that is provided on the game board and is convertible between a first state disadvantageous to the player and a second state advantageous to the player. a device (14), and a variable winning device drive control means ( 74), an auxiliary variable winning device (13) provided on the game board and capable of converting between a first state disadvantageous to the player and a second state advantageous to the player; auxiliary symbol display means (for example, auxiliary variable display 17) that displays a plurality of symbols, and detects a batted ball flowing down a specific area provided in the gaming section, and activates the auxiliary symbol display means. Specific winning detection means (for example, specific ball detection means 36) that emits a signal
)and.

auxiliary symbol display stop command signal generating means (91) for emitting a signal to stop the operation of the auxiliary symbol display means after the auxiliary symbol display means starts operating; and the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal generating means Auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means (92) for activating a signal from
and a random number change state detection means (80) for selecting a random number disadvantageous for the player and a random number advantageous for the player for determining the stop symbols of the auxiliary symbol display means.

By operating the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activating means, the random number for determining the stop symbol of the auxiliary symbol display means is set to be advantageous to the player based on the stop command signal from the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal generating means. an auxiliary symbol probability changing means (94) for selecting a random number, an auxiliary symbol probability control means (79) for determining a stop symbol of the auxiliary symbol display means, and a auxiliary symbol probability control means (79) for determining the stop symbol of the auxiliary symbol display means; Auxiliary symbol display control means (84) which is activated by a winning signal and stops the display of the auxiliary symbol display means at the symbol determined by the auxiliary symbol probability control means after a predetermined time elapses;
), and auxiliary variable winning device drive control means (
90) and.

It is equipped with the following.

(Function) In a normal gaming state where the specific gaming state detection means does not detect that the specific gaming state has entered.

When the specific winning signal generating means detects a batted ball flowing down a specific area, it issues a signal. Based on this signal, the auxiliary symbol display control means operates the auxiliary symbol display means to start variable display. Then, when the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal generation means issues a signal, a random number is taken out from a random number table that generates a prize mode with a predetermined probability based on this signal, and the variable display of the auxiliary symbol display means is based on this random number. stops. When a stopped symbol mode or a preset prize mode is formed, the auxiliary variable winning device converts it to a second state advantageous to the player.

On the other hand, when the gaming state becomes a specific gaming state and the specific gaming state detecting means detects that the specific gaming state has been entered, the specific winning signal generating means issues a signal when a batted ball flowing down a specific area is detected. Based on this signal, the auxiliary symbol display control means operates the auxiliary symbol display means to start variable display. Then, when the condition for stopping the auxiliary symbol display means is satisfied, the random number change control means changes to a random number table with a probability different from the above probability based on the random number change signal from the random number change state detection means, and based on the above signal. A random number is taken out from this changed random number table, and the variable display of the auxiliary symbol display means is stopped based on this random number. When the stopped symbol pattern forms a preset prize pattern, the auxiliary variable winning device converts it into a second state that is advantageous for the player.

Furthermore, when the auxiliary symbol display means starts conversion display in the above specific gaming state, the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal issued by operating the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal generating means is the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal. When activated by the activation means, the auxiliary symbol probability changing means selects a random number that is advantageous to the player, and a prize pattern is formed on the auxiliary variable display means with a relatively high probability, and along with the formation of this prize pattern. The auxiliary variable winning device is converted to a second state advantageous to the player.

Therefore, depending on whether or not the gaming state becomes a specific gaming state, the probability that a prize pattern will be formed by the auxiliary symbol display means differs, and the auxiliary symbol issued from the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal generating means during the specific game When activated by the display stop command signal activation means, the auxiliary symbol probability changing means selects a random number advantageous to the player, and thereby the auxiliary variable winning device changes the degree of conversion to the second state into three stages. I can tighten it.

When the ball that has flown down inside the gaming section 8 passes through the passage hole 35 and flows down inside the gaming section again, the specific ball detector 36 detects this ball and sends a signal to the electrical control device 37.

As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG.
0 is pivoted, and a ball bearing portion 41 is formed in the opening 39. The rotation shaft 42 of each opening/closing member 40 extends through the mounting board 38, and the operating lever 44 has a pin 43 implanted at its rear end for opening/closing the opening/closing wing 40.40 from side to side. Or fixed. The pin 43 of the operating lever 44 is loosely inserted into an engagement hole 47 of an operating member 46 provided at the lower end of a plunger of a solenoid 45 that is a driving source. For this reason, the left and right openings and closings @ 40, 40 are normally closed as shown in FIG. 6 due to the plunger's own weight and the action of the return spring, and the ball is not received in the state 2, which is disadvantageous for the player. The condition is maintained. The solenoid 45 may be attached to a boss protruding from the back surface of the drive board 48, or may be formed in common with the respective pins 43, 43 of the operating member 46 and its engagement hole 47, or the left and right operating levers 44, 44. has been done.

A winning ball that is opened and closed ji40.40 is picked up by the ball holder 41, passes through the opening 39, flows downward on the back side of the mounting board 38, and is processed as a winning ball.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the variable prize winning device 3114 has a horizontally elongated ball passage opening 51 at approximately the center of the first base plate 50 attached to the game 116, and the ball passage opening 51 is equipped with a drive source. A ball receiving door 53 which is opened and closed by a solenoid 52 is rotatably attached to the shaft, and on the left and right sides of the ball passage opening 51 there are ball receiving pieces 55 which are opened and closed left and right by a solenoid 54 which is a driving source.
．． 55 is rotatably attached to the shaft, and a second base plate 56 having a light emitting display member etc. is attached to the back side of the first base plate 50. A solenoid 52 that opens and closes the ball receiving door 53 and a solenoid 5 that opens and closes the ball receiving piece 55° 55 via the crank 58.
4.54 is the installation. The above-mentioned ball receiving door 53 has
A fan-shaped stopper 59 that also serves as a weight is provided on the surface. Further, one end 53a of the ball receiving door 53 is in contact with one end 57a of a lever 57 rotatably attached to the second base plate 56, and the plunger 60 of the solenoid 52 is in contact with the lever 57 halfway. When the plunger 60 presses the lever 57, the lever 57 lowers and pushes down one end 53a of the one-ball receiving door 53, closing the ball receiving door 53 and preventing the ball from receiving a hit ball.

That is, the first state, which is disadvantageous to the player, is maintained.

Also, when the solenoid 52 is energized and the plunger 60 is attracted, the force holding down the lever 57 is lost.
The ball receiving door 53 rotates under its own weight and opens while pushing up the lever 57, converting it into a state in which it is easy to receive a hit ball, that is, a second state that is advantageous for the player. Further, an actuation plate 61 is attached to the plunger of the solenoid 54, 54 attached to the second base plate 56, and a crank 58 is loosely engaged with an elongated hole provided at the other end of this actuation plate 61. crank 5
8 is attached to the shaft of the ball receiving piece 55.55. Therefore, when the solenoids 54 and 54 are demagnetized and the plunger 60 is pushed down, the ball receiving pieces 55 and 55 close and the ball is transferred to the ball receiving door 5.
The first state in which the solenoid 54.3 is not guided is maintained, and the solenoid 54.
54 is excited and the plunger is attracted, the ball receiving piece 55.
55 is opened to guide the batted ball to the ball receiving door 53 side.

In the concave chamber 62 formed on the back side of the first base plate 50 of the variable winning device i14 described above, there is a continuous winning opening 63 in the center.
On the left and right are general prize winning slots 64a.

64b is formed, and the ball that passes through the continuation prize opening 63 activates the continuation switch 65 and enters the general prize openings 64a, 64.
The balls that have passed through b and the continuous winning hole 63 are counted.
66 is activated.

In addition, the width of the ball receiving door 53, that is, the winning area where the ball is received by the variable winning device 14 and becomes a winning ball, is the winning area of the auxiliary variable winning device 13, that is, the double opening/closing ji140 converted to the second state. It is set wider than the upper end spacing of .40.

Therefore, when the variable winning device 114 is converted to the second state, balls can be won over a wider range compared to the auxiliary variable winning device 13, and while the auxiliary variable winning device M13 is converted to the second state. Even if it is, the variable winning device 114 can win a ball.

The various detectors and display devices mentioned above are electrical control devices 3.
7 and operates under the control of this electrical control device fi37.

The electrical control device 37 is constructed as shown in FIG. 10, for example. The structure and operation of this electrical control device 37 will be explained together with the game in the pachinko machine I having the above-described structure.

When the player starts the batted ball firing device $129 by operating the firing operation section 4, one ball introduced from the ball supply tray 3 is fired. The ball fired by the ball launcher 29 enters the game section 8 via the guide rail 7, hits an obstacle nail, and flows down while changing the direction of flow.

When the ball enters the first starting port 11, the first starting switch 1
0 or this ball is detected and a signal is sent to the winning storage means 67 of the electrical control device 37. Similarly, when a ball enters a prize in the second starting port 15 on the left side of the variable display device 9, the second starting switch 32 controls the winning ball, and when a winning ball enters the third starting port 16 on the right side, the third starting switch 33 controls the winning ball. It is detected and a signal is sent to the winning storage means 67 of the electrical control device 37.

The winning storage means 67 is located at the first to third starting ports 11°15.1.
6, the number of winning balls, that is, the winning signal, is stored within a preset range, and if the winning signal exceeds the set range, even if the winning signal is received, it is assumed to be a substantially invalid signal. If the setting is set to "1", the first winning signal input from the first start switch 10 etc. will only be accepted and stored, and any further winning signals will overflow and will be played during another game which will be described later. 1st to 3rd start date! ! , 15°16, a different game will not be started with this winning.

When the specific winning signal is stored in the winning storage means 67, this signal is sent to the operation timing control means 68, and based on the signal from the operation timing control means 68, the stop timing variable means 69a.

69b, 69c, display update pulse means 70a;

70b, 70c, variable display control means 71a.

71b and 71c operate, and the variable display device i
9 variable display devices 31a, 31b, and 31c start variable displaying the numbers "0" to "9" etc. at a high speed that cannot be visually recognized. Then, either a stop command signal is output after a predetermined period of time (for example, 5 seconds) set in the timer of the operation timing control means 68 has elapsed, or the player operates the operation section 5' and the stop switch 5 When a stop command signal is sent from the variable display device 9, the variable displays of the variable display device 9 are sequentially stopped, and each variable display device 31a, 31b stops.

A number or a stop display will be displayed at 31c.

When all variable displays on the variable display device 9 are stopped, the determining means 72 determines whether the display mode (combination of numbers, etc.) displayed on the variable display device 9 or the preset award mode (for example, '7J', 7J'
7J), and if the determining means 72 determines that the display mode or the prize mode falls under the above, the right to special game is generated in the pachinko a IIl,
Based on various control signals issued from the determining means 72, a special game which is a specific game in the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment is started.

In addition, the above-mentioned stop switch 5, operation timing control means 68, stop timing variable means 69a, 69b,
69c, display update pulse means 70a, 70b, 70c,
The specific game state detection means 73 in this embodiment is configured by the variable display control means Via, 71b, 71c and the respective displays 31a, 31b, 31c of the variable display device 9 functioning together.

Next, a special game which is a specific game of this embodiment will be explained.

When the determination means 72 detects that a special game right has occurred, it sends a jackpot signal to the variable winning device drive control means 74, and also controls the operation timing control means 68 and the auxiliary variable display/auxiliary variable winning MW drive. A special game is started by outputting a signal to the section (described in detail later).

When the variable winning device drive control means 74 receives the jackpot signal, the built-in timer 74a measures a predetermined time (
For example, 30 seconds) Take, variable winning outfit! ! The solenoids 52 and 54 of No. 14 are energized to open the ball receiving door 53 and the ball receiving piece 55.
55 to convert it to a second state in which it is easy to receive a batted ball.

Then, when the ball that has flowed down inside the gaming section 8 is placed in the ball receiving door 53 and wins the general winning slot 64a, 64b,
The count switch 66 detects these balls and sends a signal to the winning balls counting means 75, and when the winning balls counting means 75 counts the number of winning balls and reaches a predetermined number (for example, a preset 10). An end signal is sent to the variable prize winning device drive control means 74 to end the special game.

One cycle is defined as the elapse of the above-mentioned predetermined time or until the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number, and if a batted ball enters the continuation prize opening 63 before these end conditions are met (during the cycle), the continuation switch 65 or this The ball is detected and a continuation signal is sent to the continuation control means 76, whereby the cycle is updated and the special game can be continued a predetermined number of times (for example, up to the 16th cycle). In addition, if the batted ball does not enter the continuous winning hole 63 during the cycle, the special game is completely ended when a predetermined time elapses or when the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number. Further, even if a hit ball enters the continuous winning hole 63 in the final cycle, the cycle is not updated and the special game ends when a predetermined time elapses or the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number.

Next, the auxiliary variable display/auxiliary variable winning device drive control section 7
7 auxiliary variable display 17 and auxiliary variable winning device W11
Operation control No. 3 will be explained.

When a ball flowing down inside the gaming section 8 passes through the passage hole 35 of the passing chatka 12.
A signal is sent to the auxiliary variable winning device drive control section 77.

As shown in FIG. 11, the auxiliary variable display/auxiliary variable winning device drive control section 77 of the electrical control device 37 receives the signal from the specific ball detector 36 and stores the range preset in the specific winning storage means 78. If a signal is stored in the specific winning storage means 78, the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79 extracts an appropriate random number from a random number table, which is a random number generation means, and The stop symbols on the auxiliary variable display 17 are determined based on random numbers.

The auxiliary symbol probability control means 79 in this embodiment includes a random number table A with a low probability of prize mode (for example, 1/10),
It is equipped with a random number table B in which the probability of the prize pattern is medium (for example, 115) and a random number table C in which the probability of the prize pattern is high (for example, 1/3). The selected random number table is selected and a random number is taken out based on the signal from the specific winning storage means 78.

The random number change state detection means 80, for example, responds to a specific gaming state detection signal sent from the determining means 72, and sends out an rHJ level signal only while the pachinko @i is in a specific gaming state. That is, in the normal gaming state, the signal from the random number change state detection means 80 is rLJ, so
The first ant gate 81 is opened and a random number with a low probability of occurrence of a prize pattern is taken out from the random number table A, and when a specific game state is entered, the signal from the random number change state detection means 80 is inverted to rHJ, so the second AND gate 82 is opened, and a random number is taken out from random number table B in which the probability of occurrence of a prize pattern is medium.

Therefore, the random number change state detection means 80 controls the operation of the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79 so as to appropriately select a random number for determining the stopping symbol on the auxiliary variable display 17, which is the auxiliary symbol display means.

Further, the signal from the specific winning storage means 78 is also sent to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83, which causes the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83 to operate the auxiliary symbol display control means 84 to display the auxiliary variable display. The variable display of the device 17 is performed in synchronization with the pulse of the display update pulse means 85.

In other words, the auxiliary variable display 17 is "0" at a speed that cannot be visually recognized.
9 to 9 are converted and displayed. Then, a predetermined period of time (
For example, after 5 seconds have elapsed, a stop command signal is sent to the extracted random number storage section 86 of the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79, thereby supplying the random number extracted from the random number table A or the random number table B to the symbol selection section 87. Based on the random number, the symbol selecting section 87 determines a symbol to be stopped and displayed, and sends a signal corresponding to this symbol to the symbol comparing means 88.

Since signals corresponding to the symbols currently displayed on the auxiliary variable display 17 are sequentially sent to the symbol comparison means 88 from the auxiliary symbol display control means 84, the symbol comparison means 88 compares both signals and determines whether they match. Then (that is, when a symbol to be stopped and displayed is reached), a signal is sent to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83.

When the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83 receives this signal, a signal to the auxiliary symbol display control means 84 is rLJ.
level, the variable display of the auxiliary variable display 17 by the auxiliary symbol display control means 84 is stopped, and the symbol to be stopped and displayed continues to be displayed on the auxiliary variable display 17.

Further, when the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83 receives a signal from the symbol comparing means 88, it also sends a signal to the auxiliary symbol determining means 89, and the auxiliary symbol determining means 89 receives this signal. For example, if it is set in advance that the prize S will be established when the game stops at "7", the establishment of the prize mode is determined based on the signal from the auxiliary symbol display control means 84 at the time. "
If a signal corresponding to "7" is received, that is, if the auxiliary variable display 17 displays r7J, then it is determined that Mr. ti has been established, and r7JJ! If an external signal is received, that is, if "3" other than "7" is stopped and displayed on the auxiliary variable display 17, it is determined that the prize mode has not been established.

Then, when the auxiliary symbol determining means 89 determines that the prize pattern is not established, it sends a prize pattern failure signal to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83, and thereby the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83 or the specific winning storage means 78 The number of stored signals is subtracted by rlJ, and if a stored signal remains in the specific winning storage means 78, the above operation is repeated based on the specific winning storage. Furthermore, the auxiliary symbol determining means 89 determines that the winning pattern is not established. If it is determined, no signal is sent to the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 68, so the auxiliary variable winning device W113 remains in the first state which is disadvantageous to the player.

On the other hand, when the auxiliary symbol determining means 89 determines that the prize mode is established, it sends a prize mode establishment signal to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83 and stores the memory signal in the specific winning storage means 78.
1'' and sends a signal to the auxiliary variable prize winning device drive control means 90. Auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 9
Upon receiving this signal, 0 excites the solenoid 45 of the auxiliary variable winning device M13 for a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds) set in the timer 90a.

That is, the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 90 converts the auxiliary variable winning device W13 into the second state advantageous to the player for 6 seconds, which is a predetermined condition, when the auxiliary variable winning device 17 forms a prize mode. be. Note that the predetermined condition for converting the auxiliary variable winning device 13 to the second state is not limited to the set time only, and the predetermined condition is that the number of winning balls to the auxiliary variable winning device 13 reaches a predetermined number. Or,
A predetermined condition may be set until a predetermined number of batted balls, out balls, or safe balls are detected after the second state conversion of the auxiliary variable winning device 13, or until the earliest of the above conditions is met. may be set arbitrarily, such as by setting it as a predetermined condition.

In this way, based on the specific game state detection signal from the first determining means 72, the random number change state detecting means 80 causes the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79 to extract random numbers from the random number duffle B during the special game, which is a specific game. , the auxiliary variable display 17 shows the probability of winning the prize pattern.1 It is higher than the random number table A used during normal games. Display means 17
The probability of winning a prize in a game is higher than that during a normal game, which increases the probability that the auxiliary variable prize winning device i13 will convert to the second state advantageous to the player, and the special The number of prize balls acquired through the game itself is increased.

Therefore, in this embodiment, a stop switch 91 is provided which is a means for generating an auxiliary symbol display stop command signal for emitting a signal to stop the operation of the auxiliary variable display 17. Only when the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal is input during a specific gaming state, the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means 92 activates the signal and further controls random number extraction in the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79 to the player. make it advantageous. The stop switch 91 is provided at an appropriate location on the pachinko machine 1, and a stop switch 91 is provided near the stop switch 91 to indicate that the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal issued by the stop switch 91 has been activated. Display 93
This is provided.

Below, the case where the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal issued from the stop switch 91 is activated will be described in detail.

Judgment means 72 is a variable display device! ! When it is determined that the right to the special game has occurred in the separate game at 9, the random number change state detection means 80 receives the jackpot signal from the determination means 72 and changes the random number table used to determine the stopping symbols. Detects that the set gaming state has been reached. Then, when this random number change state detection means 80 detects this gaming state.

A random number change signal rHJ is sent to the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79.

Therefore, even if one input of the first ant gate 81 of the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79 is converted from rLJ to "I(" and rHJ is input to the other input side, it will not open, and the second ant gate 81 will not open. When one input of the ant gate 82 is converted from "L" to rHJ and "H" is input to the other input side, it opens, that is, a random number is extracted from the random number table B with a medium probability that the prize mode will be established. This state will continue until a signal indicating that the special game has ended is sent from the variable winning device drive control means 74 to the random number change state detection means 80, and the random number change state detection means 80 will When the signal is received, the signal to the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79 is rHJ.
Convert from to rLJ. Therefore, when the special game ends, the state returns to the state where random numbers are extracted from the random number table A, which has a low probability of winning the prize pattern.

In a state where a random number is extracted from the random number table B with a medium probability of achieving a prize pattern, a ball flowing down inside the gaming section 8 passes through the passage hole 35 of the passage chatka 12 and is identified as a specific ball detector. When the ball detector 36 detects this ball, it sends a signal to the specific winning storage means 78 of the electrical control unit @37. Then, rHJ is sent to the other input side of the second ant gate 82 of the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79 based on the memory of the specific winning storage means 78, and as a result, the second ant gate 82
2 is opened, a random number is extracted from the random number table B, and the extracted random number is sent to the extracted random number storage section 86.

The signal from the specific winning storage means 78 is also sent to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83, so that the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83 controls the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 8.
4 to cause the auxiliary variable display 17 to perform variable display.

Then, when the player operates the stop switch 91 before the predetermined time set in the timer 83a of the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83 has elapsed, the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal is changed to the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal. The auxiliary symbol probability changing means 94 outputs a signal to the auxiliary symbol probability controlling means 79 based on the input of the stop command signal input to the activation means 92. Note that the random number change state detection means 8
0 does not detect a specific game state, no specific game state detection signal is input from the random number change state detection means 80, and therefore the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal input from the stop switch 91 is not activated.

Upon receiving the signal from the auxiliary symbol probability changing means 94, the auxiliary symbol probability controlling means 79 outputs an rHJ level signal to the inverting input side of the random number selection ant gate 95 and the third AND gate 96. In this way, the AND gate 95 for random number selection becomes unable to conduct, so the random number extracted from the random number table B is not supplied from the extracted random number storage section 86 to the symbol selection section 87, and the value to the third AND gate 96 is not supplied. When the input is turned on, the random number with the highest probability is supplied from the random number table C to the symbol selection section 87.

Note that the extracted random number storage section 86 stores F I F O (Fi
rst In, First 0ut) type, and if the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means 92 does not operate and a random number is not supplied from the random number table C to the symbol selection section 87, the extracted random number storage section The random number stored first in 86 is supplied to the symbol selection section 87.

Further, the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means 92 outputs a signal to the auxiliary symbol probability changing means 94 and at the same time outputs a signal to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83,
By inputting this signal, the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83 clears the timer 83a, and outputs a signal to the extraction random number storage section 86 of the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79, thereby causing the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79 to perform the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83. The random number stored in the extracted random number storage section 86 is prompted to determine the symbol to be displayed on the variable display 17. Since the ant gate 95 for random number selection is in a non-conductive state as described above, the random number stored in the extracted random number storage section 86 is used in the symbol selection section. rHJ is not supplied to the value input side of the third AND gate 96 by the signal output from the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 83 to the extracted random number storage section 86.
When the level signal is input, the gate opens, and random numbers with high probability are supplied from the random number table C to the symbol selection section 87 with priority.

That is, if the conversion operation of the auxiliary variable display 17, which was started when a specific ball was detected during a special game, is stopped by operating the stop switch 91 at the player's will, the auxiliary variable The probability that a prize pattern will be formed on the display 17 becomes the highest, and the auxiliary variable prize winning device 1
3 will be converted to the second state, the number of prize balls that the player can win by winning the auxiliary variable prize winning device 13 will increase, and even if the obstacle nail is not unduly bent, the probability that A pachinko machine that can increase players' excitement to the point where they are satisfied.
You can also do that.

Moreover, by appropriately changing the random numbers pre-stored in the random number table A, random number cheatle B, and random number table C, prize patterns can be formed on the auxiliary variable display 17 with a relatively high probability even in a specific game or a normal game that does not start. Adjustments may be made so that the prize pattern is not easily formed even when game players operate the strike switch 91 to stop the auxiliary variable display 17 during a particular game. , the amount of prize balls discharged for each pachinko machine can be made different, and it is possible to adjust the amount of prize balls discharged as desired by the game parlor without unduly bending the obstructing nail.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, when a transition is made to a specific gaming state or when the random number change state detection means 80 and the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79 are activated to change the random number table,
A suitable sound is generated by the sound effect generating means 97, and a sound effect is generated from the speaker 98 based on the sound signal from the sound effect generating means 97, and the jackpot lamp 99 etc. is lit or blinked as appropriate, and the It is structured to increase interest. In addition, the number of winnings won in the variable winning device 14 during the specific game is displayed on the winning number display 100, and the fact that the right to update the cycle has been generated due to winning in the continuous winning opening 63 is displayed on the continuous display 101. It may be configured to notify the player of game information during the specific game by displaying the number of cycle update continuations during the specific game on the continuation number display 102.

The specific ball detecting means in the above embodiment is a passing chatter 1.
The present invention is not limited to the specific ball detector 36 that detects a batted ball that has passed through a specific passing gate of 2 degrees, and may be of any configuration as long as it can detect a ball that has flown down a specific area.

For example, the winning tool used as the ML starting port 11 in the above embodiment and the winning tool with a spin-like configuration (a winning tool that takes balls into the back side of the game board 6 to become winning balls) may be placed in the gaming section as a specific area. , a detector (specific ball detection means) may be provided to detect the winning ball in this winning prize tool.

Alternatively, a specific area may be provided in the variable winning device 14, and a ball that enters a winning area in the specific area may be detected as a specific ball. For example, the general winning slot 64a on the left side when facing the game board 6 may be used as a specific winning opening It may be configured such that a ball that enters the sun with the special foot is detected by a ball detector serving as a specific ball detection means.

The auxiliary symbol display means that operates based on the signal from the specific ball detection means is not limited to the above-mentioned variable display 17, but may be capable of displaying identification marks such as alphanumeric characters or symbols in a variable manner. Alternatively, a plurality of displays may be provided like the variable prize winning device 14, and the prize mode may be determined by a combination of display contents.

In the above-mentioned embodiments, the special game state is set as a specific game state, but in the present invention, during the specific game state, the probability of establishing a prize pattern in the game using the auxiliary symbol display means is changed compared to other game states. The specific gaming state may be set in any way as long as it is.

For example, rather than setting the entire period from when a special game right is generated until the right disappears as a specific game state, the period from the time the special game ends until the next special game starts. may be set as a specific game state, and the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means 92 may be configured to be operable during the specific game.

In addition, even during a special game, only the period when the variable prize winning device 14 is converting to the second state can be set as a specific game state,
Conversely, the specific gaming state may be set during a so-called wait time in which the variable prize winning device 14 temporarily returns from the second state to the first state. When setting in this way, the variable winning device drive control means 76 or the solenoid 52 of the variable winning device M14.
The signal line for exciting 42 is branched, and this branch line 10
3 is connected to the random number change state detection means 80 to create a variable prize winning device during special games! The first state and the second state at t14 are determined, and based on this, a signal is sent from the random number change state detection means 80 to the auxiliary symbol probability control means 79 to select a random number table.

Furthermore, variable prize winning device 1 in each cycle of 2 special games
A signal line from the winning number counting means 75 that controls the number of winning balls to 4 is branched to the variable winning device drive control means 74, and this branch line 104 is connected to the random number change state detection means 80, and the signal line is connected to the random number change state detecting means 80. Only the period until the occurrence of winning balls may be set as a specific game state. For example, the number of winning balls to the variable winning device W114 during 1 cycle is a predetermined number (for example, 5 balls).
The auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activating means 92 is activated only during the specific gaming state.
is activated to extract a random number advantageous for the player from random number table C, and after a predetermined number (from the 6th number), random numbers are selected from random number table B, which has a lower probability than random number table C. On the contrary, after reaching a predetermined number, it is set as a specific game state, and only when the specific ball detector 36 detects a specific ball after the predetermined number, the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means 92 is activated. It may be set to be operable so that when an auxiliary symbol display stop command signal is input from the stop switch 91, a random number is selected from a random number table C with a high probability.

Further, only a predetermined cycle of the special game may be set as a specific game state, and the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means 92 may be set to be operable while this cycle is being performed. In such a case, the signal line from the continuation control means 76 that controls the update of the cycle to the variable prize winning device drive control means 74 is branched, and this branch line 105 is connected to the random number change state detection means 80; (For example, 1 cycle [
Even if the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means 92 is enabled in cycles 1 to 8), and the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means 92 is set to be inoperable in subsequent cycles. Or, conversely, the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means 92 is set to be inoperable during a predetermined cycle, and the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means 92 is set to be operable during subsequent cycles. You can. Also, for odd-numbered cycles (1st cycle, 3rd cycle...), use a random number table with high probability, and for even-numbered cycles (2nd cycle, 4th cycle...), use a random number table with low probability. It may be set to select a table, or vice versa.

Further, a predetermined state after the special game ends may be set as a specific game state, and the auxiliary symbol display stop command signal activation means 92 may be activated during this period6 For example, after the special game ends, A timer 80a provided in the random number change state detection means 80 may set a predetermined time to count as a specific game state, or set the safe ball detector 23 or the out ball detector 24 as a specific game state.
The number of out pitches based on the detection information input by the user, the number of safe pitches, and the period between reaching a predetermined number may be set as the specific gaming state.Also, the total number of game balls hit into the gaming section 8. The period until (the number of balls hit) reaches a predetermined number may be set as a specific game state.The number of balls hit is counted by the number of balls hit detector 25.
It may be counted based on the detection information of , or it may be counted by adding the number of safe pitches and the number of out pitches.

Furthermore, by counting the number of times the auxiliary symbol display control means 84 outputs a drive signal for driving the auxiliary variable display 17, the period until the auxiliary variable display 17 operates a predetermined number of times can be set as a specific game state. In this case, for example, the signal line output from the auxiliary symbol display control means 84 to the symbol comparison means 88 is branched, and the random number change state detection means 80 can detect the number of operations of the auxiliary variable display 17 by this branch line 106. In addition, if the specific game state is set until the number of balls that have passed through the passing chatka 12 reaches a predetermined number, the maximum value that can be stored in the specific winning storage means 78 is exceeded.

It is also possible to include the number of specific winning pitches that have been invalidated.

As mentioned above, the setting of a specific gaming state is not particularly limited, and instead of using only the start and end points of the special game as the setting criteria for a specific gaming state, it is possible to combine the above-mentioned conditions in a complex manner. , the timing and rate of occurrence of specific gaming states can be adjusted at will.

It should be noted that, although omitted in the block diagram of the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the prize ball ejection device 26 is activated when the safe ball detection means detects a winning ball, and a predetermined number of prize balls can be ejected. The electrical control device 37 is configured as follows.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, when the ball enters the winning hole that functions as the starting hole, the right to a separate game is generated, and when the prize mode is formed by the separate game played using the variable display device 9, the special game is activated. The present invention is not limited to a pachinko machine set with a game content in which a right is generated.

The block diagram of the electrical control device shown in FIG. 12 is another example, and the electrical control device 102 in the same figure is the first starting port on the left and the first starting port on the right provided in the gaming section 8. When the left first starting switch 108a and the right first starting switch 108b detect the ball that has entered the ball, the first winning control means 109 sends the ball that has entered the second starting opening to the variable winning device drive control means 110, and sends the ball that has entered the second starting opening to the second starting switch 111. When it is detected, a winning ball detection signal is sent to the second startup winning control means 112 or the variable winning device drive control means 110, respectively, thereby controlling the variable winning device drive control means 110 or the solenoid 113 of the variable winning device as appropriate. When driven, the movable ball receiver of the variable prize winning device converts and drives the member, and changes from a first state disadvantageous to the player to a second state advantageous to the player a predetermined number of times (for example, the left and right first start switches 108a, 108b are Conversion is performed once when a winning ball is detected, and twice when the second starting winning switch 111 detects a winning ball).

When converted to this second state, the continuation switch 114 detects, for example, a ball that has won a prize in the continuation prize opening (or V prize opening) provided in the variable prize winning device, and the pachinko machine is entitled to a special game. occurs, and a special game is started based on the drive control of the variable winning device by the variable winning device drive control means 110.

This special game is played by a variable prize winning device or by a predetermined number of times (for example, 18

16, the special game control means 11
6 controls the special game.

The number of winnings to the variable winning device is detected by the count switch 117.
The winning number counting means 118 counts the detection signal, outputs the number of winnings counted during the cycle to the winning number display 119, and counts the number of consecutive cycles during the special game. , the counting result is displayed and output to the continuation number display 121. Further, during the special game and during the auxiliary game for acquiring the right to the special game, a suitable sound effect is generated by the sound effect generation means 122 and the sound effect is outputted from the speaker 98.

Even in the so-called second type pachinko machine (so-called Hanemono type) having the above-mentioned general configuration, necessary game status information can be transmitted from each part to the auxiliary variable display/auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 77. The auxiliary variable display/auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 77 selects a random number table for reading out the display symbols to be displayed on the auxiliary variable display 17 according to a preset specific game state, and also When the activated auxiliary variable display 17 is stopped by operating the stop switch 91, the display pattern corresponding to the prize mode or the random number read from the random number table with the highest probability of being displayed on the auxiliary variable display 17 is changed. In other words, the amount of prize balls discharged for each pachinko machine can be varied, and it becomes possible to adjust the amount of prize balls discharged as desired by the game parlor without unduly bending the obstructing nail. .

In addition, regarding the setting of the specific gaming state in the above embodiment, as in the first embodiment, from the occurrence of the special gaming state to the end, or from the point in time when the special gaming state ends, depending on predetermined conditions (such as elapsed time and detected balls). It is also possible to set the specific game state to be the period during which the conditions (number, etc.) are satisfied, or to set the specific game state to be the period during the auxiliary game to acquire the right to a special game, or to set the period until the number of times this auxiliary game occurs reaches a predetermined number of times. The period (for example, if the game transitions to the special game state before reaching the predetermined number of times, the period until the game transitions to the special game) may be set as the specific game state.
