When the game ball fired into the game area 4 by the firing device enters the Tenjin prize opening (specific winning opening) 5, an ON signal is output from the specific prize winning switch SW5, and the memory number counting means 1625 that receives the signal enters the memory. Update the number of pieces (up to 4
Individual). A signal representing the updated number of stored prizes is sent to the LEDs 53a to 53d indicating the number of stored prizes entered, and a number of LEDs corresponding to the number of stored prizes are turned on.

Further, the signal representing the updated number of stored symbols is also sent to the symbol display control means 1623.

The symbol display control means 1623 outputs a command signal to the variable display game device 52 to start the variable display game based on the above signal, that is, when it determines that the number of stored symbols is not O''', and further ends the game. After that, the aforementioned random number generation means 1
In order to display the numerical value extracted by step 622, a command signal representing the numerical value is output to the variable display game machine 52.

The signal representing the extracted numerical value is further transmitted to a determining means 162.
4 is also sent to the determination means 1624.
It is determined whether the result of the variable display game is a win (whether the numerical value is "3" or "7"), and a signal representing this determination result is sent to the auxiliary variable prize winning device control means 1601 and the memory. It is sent to number counting means 1625. The memorized number counting means 1625 determines that one variable display game is completed each time a signal representing the determination result (regardless of whether it is a win or a loss) is input, and stores the value stored at that point in time. Subtract it and use it as a new stored value.

On the other hand, when the signal from the determining means 1624 indicates a win, the auxiliary variable prize winning device control means 1601,
The solenoid D is excited (O
N) outputs an H level drive signal. This drive signal is inverted from H level to L level after a predetermined period of time has elapsed,
The winning opening 6 of the auxiliary variable winning device is closed again.

When the game ball enters the winning hole 6 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 when it is opened, an ON signal is output from the opening/closing condition switch SW2 installed in the winning hole.
Upon receiving this signal, the opening/closing door driving means 1605 controls the opening/closing motor 172 to open the doll clothes opening/closing door 130.
The drive signal for rotating the motor 1 in the counterclockwise direction in the figure is
72 (the subsequent control is performed by the first operation control section 1600I). The motor switch MSW2 determines whether the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is completely opened. When it is completely opened, an ON signal is output from the motor switch MSW2, and upon receiving this signal, the opening/closing door driving means 1605 opens/closes. The operation of motor 172 is stopped.

When a game ball wins in the starting prize openings 8, 8 while the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is opened according to the above procedure, this fact is transmitted to the opening/closing door driving means 1605 by an output signal from the starting prize winning control means 1602. . The opening/closing door driving means 1605 operates when a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the time when this signal is input (by winning a prize in the starting prize openings 8, 8, the movable wing piece 10
1,101 is opened, and when sufficient time has elapsed for the winning game ball to reach the V zone 103 in the variable winning device 10 in this state, the opening/closing motor 172 is activated to close the doll clothes opening/closing door 130. , outputs a drive signal to the motor 72 for rotation in the clockwise direction in FIG. Whether or not the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is completely closed is determined by the motor switch MSWI, and when it is completely closed, an ON signal is output from the motor switch MSWI, and upon receiving this signal, the opening/closing door driving means 1605 is opening/closing motor 1
The operation of 72 is stopped. Doll clothes open and close like this 513
When 0 is opened, the game ball that has flowed into the winning space 102 of the variable winning device enters the special winning opening 1 as described above.
It becomes easier to win in 03, and the possibility of hitting the jackpot is increased.

Next, the operation control of the pachinko game machine according to the present invention performed by the CPU 610 of the above-mentioned accessory control device will be explained in detail with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 24 to 49.

FIG. 24 shows the variable winning device 10 of the pachinko game machine 1 and the auxiliary variable winning bag! 5, and a main routine for controlling various operating devices such as decorative lamps/LEDs according to the game state.

This main routine is a process that is started in synchronization with the generation of a hard reset signal every predetermined period of time, and when one loop of processing is completed, the corresponding CP is
The processing by U610 is stopped (HALT).

When the above-mentioned reset signal is generated and this routine is started, first, in step S2, it is determined whether the current loop is a loop immediately after the power is turned on.

If the result of this determination is "Yes", initialization processing from step 88 to step S16, which will be described later, is executed.

On the other hand, when the determination result is "1NoI+", step S
4. At S6, it is determined whether the main check data 1 and 2 are normal. This step S4. The determination in S6 is a process to check the memory contents of the RAM 614 in advance to prevent the program from running out of control due to data being corrupted by noise etc. Main check day 3
1 and 2 are set at the end of the main routine (in steps S56 and S58, which will be described later).

Therefore, these steps S4. If any of the determination results in S6 is IINOI+, the memory value of the RAM 614 at this point is cleared in steps 88 to S16 (step S8), and the switch area of the RAM 614 is initialized (step 5IO). , In order to execute the normal process, if O+
Various parameters are initialized (step 512), such as setting the value to +, and rHcLTI (described later) is set to
Processing such as setting the value of J to the initial value i+ 1 ++ (
After performing step 512), the random number setting switch SW
The random number table selected by step 6 is set (step 516), and this routine ends.

On the other hand, the determination result of step S2 is "NOI+" and the determination results of step S4 and step S6 are both "I".
If Yes, the processing from step 318 onwards is performed.

First, in step S18, all the main check data 1.2 in the RAM 614 used for the determination in steps S4 to S6 are cleared, and in step S20, the various switches (SW1 to SW5, MSWI, M
Read the ○N/○FF status of SW2, etc.), and then perform fraud detection processing (■NJUSTICE) (Step 5
22).

This fraud detection process is a process for determining whether or not the ten count switches 5W4A and 5W4B installed in the variable prize winning device 10 are functioning normally based on the output signals of the switches 5W4A and 5W4B. , is carried out according to the flow shown in FIG. 25, which will be described later.

When this fraudulent processing is completed, a sound effect output process (SOUND) corresponding to the gaming state is performed in the following step S24, and an output process (OUTPUT) is performed to actually output command signals to various control devices in step S26. will be carried out. This output process is performed by the decorative lamps L13, 122, 1.23 installed on the game board 3 based on a command signal obtained by a process (process after step S40) executed in accordance with "Process No. 1" to be described later. Decoration LE0107-109
, outputs drive signals to solenoids A, A, B, C, D, E, etc.

In the next step S28, 2 system prize ball ejection processing (SR60
0) is performed. This two-system prize ball discharging process is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. 26, which will be described later, and the execution of this process controls the excitation/demagnetization of the fifth solenoid (solenoid E) 815 in the prize ball processing device 850. As a result, the number of prize balls to be played for one winning ball is determined to be 7/]5.

Subsequent step S30. In S32, permission control processing (VSWCTL) of the special winning switch SW3 provided in the special winning opening (■ zone) 103 in the variable winning device,
SW30) detection processing (SW3GET) is performed.

Among these, the permission control process is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. 27, which will be described later, and it is determined whether or not the gaming state at that time is such that input of the special winning switch SW3 should be permitted. SW3 based on judgment
The value of the permission flag is determined.

When it is determined by this permission control process that the gaming machine is in a state where input of the special winning switch SW3 should be permitted, the SW3 detection process (step 5) is subsequently executed.
32), the ON signal from switch SW3 detected by switch SW3 is determined to be valid, and the operation control process of variable prize winning device]0 according to "Processing No. 1", details of which will be described later, is executed.
When executing the process from step S40 onward, the operation of the variable prize winning device is controlled based on the output signal of the switch SW3.

In the next step S34, lamp/LED control processing (LEDCTL) is performed. This lamp/LED
The control process actually controls the lamps and LEDs installed on the game board 3 at the desired timing based on various flags/control variables whose values are determined by control according to process No. and J, which will be described later. This is a process to control lighting/blinking.
.

In the next step S36, motor control processing (M
OTCTL) is executed. This motor control process is carried out by the variable winning system ft1. This is a process for controlling the opening and closing of the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 installed inside the doll O according to the game state, and is carried out according to the flow shown in FIG. 29, which will be described later.

When this motor control process is completed, in the next step S38, the auxiliary winning device control process (SOLD-PRC
) is performed according to the flow shown in FIG.

This auxiliary winning device control process causes the variable display game device 52 to play a variable display game based on the output signal from the specific winning switch SW5 installed in the Tenjin prize opening 5, and determines that the result of the game is a "win". When this occurs, control is performed such as opening the movable members 51 and 51 of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 for a predetermined period of time (for example, 0.8 seconds).

When this auxiliary winning device control process is completed, step S4
0, and SW2 set processing (SW2SET) is executed.

This SW2 setting process is performed according to the flow shown in FIG. 43, which will be described later, and when a game ball enters a prize in the device 60 with the auxiliary variable winning device 50 opened by the excitation of the solenoid D, the doll clothes opening/closing door This is to start the opening operation of 130.

In the following steps 342 to S54, [
1st to 3rd solenoids (solenoids A, B, C) 173,173°146.114 ○N according to processing No. J
/○FF control, cycle number display control by cycle number display 105, etc. are performed (B RAN C
H).

22, to explain the outline of the control according to the processing No. J: (1) When the processing No. is 1', the starting prize opening 8.
SWI processing (Fig. 45) in which the movable wing pieces 101 and 101 are opened and closed (opening of 500 m5ec) in response to the winning of the game ball to 8. (2) When the processing number is Lr 2 I+, the doll clothes are opened and closed. If 5130 is opened, variable prize winning device 1
A switch SW that closes the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 when a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the opening/closing operation of the movable wings 101, 101 of No. 0 is completed (detection of the switch SW3 is permitted during this time).
3 permission processing (Figure 46), (3) processing number is 1131
When it is +, an interval is provided from when it is determined that a "big hit" has occurred until the continuous opening and closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101. (4) When the processing number is 1141+, the movable wing pieces 101° 101 are moved to generate a substantial jackpot game state.
(5) When processing NO1 is rr 5 u, from the end of the continuous opening/closing operation of 1 cycle until the continuous opening/closing operation of the next cycle starts (6) When the process number is '6'', the wait process (Fig. 49) performs operation control such as permitting the detection of the switch SW3 and opening the parking device exit door 112. , 5W4A, 4B fraudulent processing (step 560), and so on, various operation controls are performed according to the processing No.

When the processing No. is ``Pa○'', all of the determination results from step 342 to step S52 become ``IIN○'', and the normal processing (FIG. 44) corresponding to the normal gaming state is performed in step S54. This normal processing is carried out by various LED/
A process for lighting/flashing a lamp, which is the process described in (1) above.
The normal processing is repeatedly executed until the conditions for executing the processing in (6) are satisfied.

When the process in step S54 is completed, step S54 is completed.
56. At S58, the above-mentioned main check data 1 and main check data 2 are set for checking the storage state of the RAM 614, respectively, and then this program is ended and C is continued until the next hard reset signal is generated.
The PU 610 is brought to a halt state (HALT).

By executing the main routine described above, the variable winning device 10, the auxiliary variable winning device 50, the various LEDs and lamps installed on the gaming board 3, and the speaker 930 for generating sound effects installed on the gaming machine are activated. Control takes place.

Next, using FIG. 25, the fraud detection process (■NJUSTCE) executed in step S22 of the main routine is performed.
) will be explained.

This fraud detection process is a process to detect fraud in pachinko games, such as when a foreign object such as a piano wire is inserted into the ten count switches 5W4A and 5W4B installed in the variable prize winning device 10, or when a connector is pulled out. be.

When this fraud detection process is started, first, step 51
In 02, ten count switch 5 has already been set by this loop.
It is determined whether or not a fraudulent state of W4A and 5W4B is detected (whether fraudulent). If the determination result in step 5102 is +1 Y eSI, then step 310
4 to step 8136, that is, without further fraud detection, this routine is ended and the main routine's sound effect output processing (So.
uND) (In the sound effect output process executed at this time, a sound effect indicating the occurrence of fraud is output).

On the other hand, if the determination result in step 5102 is i+NO'', then steps 5104 to 5il
At step o, it is determined whether or not the switches 5W4A and 5W4B are in an illegal short-circuit state (a state in which the short-circuit state continues for a predetermined period of time or more).

First, in step 5104, the ten count switch 5
It is determined whether the output signals from W4A and 5W4B are high and the bell is ringing.

If the result of this determination is "NO", step 510
In step 6, the short check timer INJTIM3 is set to a predetermined time (for example, 25 ec), and the process proceeds to step 511.
Proceed to steps 2 and subsequent steps. Therefore switch 5W4A, 5W4
If B is not short-circuited, each time this routine is executed, the value of the timer INJTIM3 remains constant for the predetermined time (
25eq).

Either one of the switches 5W4A and 5W4B is short-circuited and the determination result in step 5104 is If Y eSI.
When the value changes to +, the value of the timer INJTIM3 is subtracted (step 3108), and in the next step 5110, it is determined whether or not the value of the timer INJTIM3 from which the value has been subtracted has reached a Ou.

As long as this determination result is NO'', step 51
The process proceeds to step 12 and subsequent steps to detect other fraudulent states.

If the short-circuit state of the switches 5W4A and 5W4B continues for the above predetermined time (25 ec) and the determination result in step 5l10 changes to 'Yes', the switches 5W4A and 5W4
It is determined that B is in a short illegal state and the process proceeds to step 513.
The program proceeds to step 6, where the processing No. is set to II 6 II and initial processing for malfunction is executed, such as storing that a short circuit malfunction has occurred, and the present routine ends.

In this way, when the processing No. is set to par 6''' and the short-circuit illegal state is stored, the determination in step S52 of the main routine described above becomes I= y e, s +'', and the illegal operation process ( Proceeding to step 560), fraud processing (such as generation of a fraudulent sound corresponding to this fraud) is executed in accordance with the short circuit fraud state.

In step 8112 to step S1]8, which are executed when the determination result of step 5104 is I=NO'l or the determination result of step 5IIO is "N○"", SW4 count irregularity detection is performed. First, In step 5112, it is determined whether the output signal of the ten count switch 5W4A or switch SW4B rose from the previous loop to the current loop.If the result of this determination is 'No'', the subsequent steps 8114 to 5118 are performed. Skip and proceed to step 5120 onwards. On the other hand, the determination result in step 5112 is “Ye”.
s''', that is, when a win of a game ball is detected by the ten count switches 5W4A and 5W4B between the previous loop and the current loop, the process proceeds to the next step 5114.
Then, it is determined whether the processing number is rr On or not.

When this determination result is Yes''', that is, when the game state is in the gaming state or the state where normal processing should be performed (normal gaming state), the game ball is entered into the variable winning device 10 by the ten count switches 5W4A and 5W4B. is detected, this routine is immediately terminated and the process proceeds to the main routine's high-power sound effect processing (step 524 in FIG. 24).On the other hand, if the determination result in step 5114 is No.
When I+, the value of 5W4FG is set to remember that the game ball has won in the variable winning device 10.
Step 5116), then a sound effect (ten count sound effect) representing the winning of the game ball into the variable winning device is output (step S11.8), and step 512
Proceed to 0 and beyond.

In the next step 3120 to step S]26, the opening of the ten count switch 5W4A is detected as illegal, and in steps 8128 to step S]34, the opening of the ten count switch SW4B is detected as illegal.

First, in step 5120, it is determined whether the output signal from switch SW4A is at H level.

When the result of this determination is 'INO+', in step 5122, the open check timer JNJTIM
I is set to a predetermined time (for example, 25 ec), and the process proceeds to step 8128. Therefore, if the output signal from the switch 5W4A is not at the H level (ON), the timer INJTI is activated every time this routine is executed.
The value of M1 is set to the predetermined time.

The output signal of the switch 5W4A becomes H level (ON), and the determination result in step Sl20 becomes l1yeSI+.
When the timer INJTIM is turned on, the timer INJTIM remains on as long as it remains on.
Processing to delete the value of I is performed (step 5124),
In the next step 8126, it is determined whether the value of the timer INJTIMI has become IIO+1. As long as this determination result is II N On, step 5128
Proceeding to the subsequent processing, open fraud detection of switch SW4B is performed. When the predetermined time (25 ec) has elapsed since the output signal of the switch 5W4A became H level, and the determination result of the step knob 5126 changes to II y eSI+, the switch SW 4. It is determined that A is in an illegal open state, and the process proceeds to step 8136, where it is stored in the RAM 6]4 that an illegal open has occurred in the switch 5W4A in the illegal operation initial processing, and this routine is immediately terminated.

In this way, when the processing number is set to II 6 II and the open illegality of switch 5W4A is stored,
The determination in step S52 of the main routine described above is "Yes".
s'', the process proceeds to fraud processing, and fraud processing corresponding to the occurrence of the illegal opening of the switch 5W4A (such as generation of a fraudulent sound in response to this fraud) is executed.

In the process of detecting open fraud of the switch 5W4B after step 5128, first, the ten count switch 5W4
It is determined whether the output signal of B is at H level (ON) (step 5128).

If the determination result in step 5128 is No'', then in step 5130 the open check timer I
The NJTIM2 is set to a predetermined time (for example, 25 ec), this routine is ended, and the process proceeds to the audio output process of the main routine. Therefore, the output signal from switch SW4B is H.
If it is not at the level (ON), the value of the timer INJTIM2 is set to the predetermined time (25ec) each time this routine is executed.

When the output signal of the switch SW4B turns on (H level) and the determination result in step 5128 changes to "Yes", as long as the on state continues, the value of the timer JNJTTM2 is deleted (step 5132), and then At step 5134, the value of timer INJTIM2 becomes 'O'.
” is determined. This determination result is “N○
”, skips step 8136 and ends this routine. The state in which the output signal of switch SW4B is on (H level) continues for the predetermined period of time, and the determination result in step 8136 is LL Y eSI+. , it is determined that the switch 5w4B is in an incorrect open state, and the process proceeds to step 8136, which is an incorrect operation initialization process, in which the processing number is set to '6'' and the switch 5w
The fact that an open illegality has occurred in 4B is stored in the RAM, and this routine ends.

In this way, when the processing number is set to 116 II and the illegal open state of the switch 5W4B is stored, the determination in step S52 of the main routine described above is set to 116 II.
Yes esI+, proceed to unauthorized processing, switch SW
4. Fraud processing (such as generation of sound effects in response to this fraud) is executed according to the open fraud state of B.

Next, the two-system prize ball discharge process (SR600) executed in step S28 of the above-mentioned main routine will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 26.

As shown in the figure, when this routine is started, it is checked in step 5140 whether or not a new winning of a game ball to the variable winning device has been detected by the ten count switches 5W4A and SW4B from the previous loop to the current loop. (Whether SW4A and 5W4B have risen) is determined.

When this determination result is Yes'', step S],
At step 42, the value of the large ejection number storage value is added by ]'' and the process proceeds to step 5144. On the other hand, when the value is "N○", step 5142 is skipped, that is, the large amount stored at this point is The process proceeds to step 5144 while retaining the stored value of the number of ejected pieces as is.

Here, the large ejection number memory value is the added value of the game balls that have entered the winning slots (103, 104, 104) that should perform the large ejection (15 balls ejected), and the memory value is other than O'''. When it is the value, the prize ball ejecting device 81 is activated as described later.
The fifth solenoid (solenoid E) 815 installed at 0 for switching the number of prize balls to be ejected is energized (ON), and as a result, 15 prize balls are ejected from the prize ball ejecting device for each winning ball. (On the other hand, when the large ejection number memory value is II OII, solenoid E
is demagnetized (turned off), and seven prize balls are ejected for each winning ball).

Returning to FIG. 26, in the next step 5144, it is determined whether the current loop is the first loop executed after the gaming machine was powered on.

When the result of this determination is “Yes”, step S l
4.6, the switching state detection switch MSW3 (not shown) installed in the prize ball ejection process is turned on (the switch MSW3
It is determined whether or not the ON signal is made high during small discharge.

As long as this determination result is IIN○'', step 51
The program proceeds to step 48, where the solenoid E is energized (ON), this routine is immediately terminated, and the program proceeds to the SW3 permission control process (VSCCTL) of the main routine. The reason why the solenoid E is energized (ON) after the power is turned on in preparation for the small ejection is because the game ball is at least in the starting prize opening in order for the variable winning device 10 to open after the power is turned on and to be in a state where the large ejection is possible. This is because the condition is to win a prize (small discharge), and therefore, the first prize ball discharge is always a small discharge. On the other hand, if the determination result in step 5146 is "Yes", the process proceeds to step 5150 and subsequent steps.

In step 5150, it is determined whether the prize ball ejection process has already started during the current loop execution and whether the started ejection process is being continued (is being ejected). When this determination result is “Yes”, that is, 1
If the ejection process for the predetermined number (7 or 15) corresponding to the winning balls has not yet been completed, step 515
In step 2, the large discharge start flag FLGA, which will be described later, is reset to 'O'', this routine is ended, and the process moves to SW3 permission control processing (USWCTL) of the main routine.At this time, the ON/○FF state of solenoid E is The current state is maintained in order to continue the process of discharging the predetermined number of prize balls (7 or 15) that has already started.

On the other hand, when the prize ball is not ejected when this routine is executed, step 5150 is skipped.
+ ), the discharge start flag FLGA is set at step 5154.
It is determined whether the value of is It I II. This large discharge start flag FLGA is the large discharge process (1
When the solenoid E is demagnetized and enters the preparation stage for large ejection, the value is set to n 1 u in step 5162, which will be described later, and after the ejection of prize balls has actually started ( (during discharge) is reset to II OII in step 5152 described above.

Therefore, the determination result in step 5154 is "Yes".
When , the solenoid is demagnetized (OFF) in preparation for large discharge.
), it is determined that the preparatory stage is such that large discharge has not yet started, and this routine is ended without performing the processing from step 5156 onwards.

On the other hand, when the determination result in step 5154 is "NO", it is determined that the stage is not in preparation for large-scale discharge, and
0N of solenoid E based on the new large discharge memory number value
10FF control (processing to determine whether or not to excite solenoid E in preparation for large discharge) is started.

First, in step 5156, it is determined whether or not the large discharge number storage value is it Orr at this point.

When this determination result is Yes'', that is, when it is determined that the next prize ball ejection process should be a large ejection process, in step 5158, the solenoid E At the same time, in step 5160, the value of the large discharge storage number is set to II.
The value I II is subtracted, and the discharge start flag FLGA is set to II III (step 5162), this routine is ended, and the process moves to the SW3 permission processing of the main routine.

On the other hand, when the determination result in the step 5156 is 'No', the solenoid E is energized (ON) in order to make the number of prize balls ejected by the prize ball ejection process 7 (small ejection) (step 5164), and then After finishing this routine,
The process moves to SW3 permission processing in the main routine.

Next, special prize opening (V zone) 10 of variable prize winning device W10
Permission control processing (VSWCTL) and detection processing (SW3GET) of the special winning switch SW3 installed in
) will be explained with reference to FIGS. 27 and 28.

Special prize switch SW3 permission control processing (second
7) is executed in step S30 of the above-mentioned main routine, in which the game ball enters the special winning slot (■ zone) 10.
This is a type of fraud prevention processing that detects a gaming state in which a prize can be won and treats the output signal of the switch SW3 as valid only in that gaming state.

When this process is started, first, in step 5170, it is determined whether SW3 checkro flag ~'FG is II II II. This SW3 detection flag VFG is set when the later-described SWI processing (SWI PRC, Fig. 45) or jackpot processing (HITPRC, Fig. 48) is completed.
1 is opened a predetermined number of times), is set to u l II, and then the value 111 II is held for a predetermined period of time (for example, 4 seconds).

If this SW3 detection flag VFG is not set to If i II (the determination result in step 5170 is II No I+), the following steps 8172 to
Skip step 5180, return to the main routine, and proceed to SW3 detection processing (SW3GET).

When the SWI processing or jackpot processing described later is performed and the SW3 detection flag VFG is set to II II II, the determination result in step 5170 becomes 11 y es++, the process proceeds to step 5172, and the SW3 valid time timer V is set.
WTIM (This timer is used for a predetermined period of time (
(for example, set to 4 seconds) is decremented, and then it is determined whether the value of the timer VWT IM has become II OII (step 5174).

As long as the result of this determination is 'lNOI+, the following steps 8176 to 3180 are skipped, this routine is ended, and the process returns to the main routine to perform the SW3 detection process. After the opening/closing control of the movable blades 101, 101 by the SWI processing or the jackpot processing described below is completed (at this time, the timer VWT IM is set), the above-mentioned predetermined time (2 Sec) has elapsed and the determination result of the above-mentioned step 5174 is confirmed. When the state changes to rr y esI+, the SW3 detection flag VFG is reset to 'O'' in the following step 5176, and the solenoids A and A are reset in the next step 5178.
II OII
It is determined whether or not.

When this determination result is II No I+, that is, if this process is performed after the movable wing pieces 101, 101 have actually opened and closed at least once by executing the SWl process or the jackpot process, which will be described later. , this routine is ended as it is, and the process proceeds to step S32 of the main routine (at this time, the value of the SW3 detection permission flag VSWFG is held at 111 II as described later).

On the other hand, the determination result in step 5178 is ``Yes''.
In other words, if this process is executed even though the movable wing pieces 101, 101 have not been opened or closed even once, it is determined that some kind of fraud has occurred, and the process proceeds to step 5180.
The W3 detection permission flag VSWFG is set to 110 II, and then this routine ends.

Here, the SW3 detection permission flag VSWFG is used in the SW3 detection process that is performed subsequent to the routine, and when the value of this flag VSWFG is rr Ou, the detection signal of the special winning switch SW3 is invalid. It is now possible to do so.

FIG. 28 is a flowchart of SW3 detection processing (SW3GET) executed in step S32 of the main routine.

When this SW3 detection process is started, first, step 3
182, is there any fraud occurring in the gaming machine at this point?
It is determined whether the transaction is fraudulent or not. This determination is made based on the detection result of the above-mentioned fraud detection process (INJUSTICE), and when the determination result is 11 y eST+, the process directly proceeds to step S42 and subsequent steps of the main routine.

On the other hand, the determination result in step 5182 is LLNo.
, the special winning switch S is activated in step 5184.
It is determined whether the output signal of W3 has changed to H level (ON).

When the result of this determination is 11 N OI+, that is, when no game ball enters the special winning hole 103, the process directly proceeds to the motor control process (MOTCTL) of the main routine without performing the processes after step 5186. On the other hand, when the determination result is if y es+'', that is, it is detected that the game ball has won in the special winning hole 103, furthermore, at this point, the value of the SW3 detection permission flag V SWF G mentioned above is 1'''. It is determined whether there is one (step 5186). This discrimination result is “No
”, that is, the flag VSWFG is set to switch S.
When the state indicates that the input of the output signal of W3 should not be permitted, the process directly proceeds to the motor control process of the main routine.

After the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device are opened and closed, when a game ball wins in the special winning opening 103 (regular winning), the determination result in step 5186 becomes ``Yes''. Then, it is determined (step 5187) whether or not the winning of the game ball into the special winning hole 103 is the winning in the final cycle in the jackpot gaming state.When the result of this determination is =rN oI+ Proceeding to step 31.88, jackpot initial processing is executed in order to memorize the winning of the game ball in the special winning hole 103 (in this step, initial settings such as processing number is set to rr 3 u, As a result, if the jackpot game state is not in the jackpot game state at this point, control is started from the jackpot wait processing described later in the subsequent loop, and if the jackpot game state is already in the jackpot game state, the continuous opening/closing operation in the jackpot game state is started. (and then move on to the next cycle).

On the other hand, the determination result in step 5187 is “'Yes”.
'', that is, when the jackpot game state is in the final cycle, the continuation of the continuous opening/closing operation is not permitted, so the process proceeds to step 5190 without executing the initial process of step S]88.

In the next step 519C), special prize, switch SW
Prior to the generation of the ON signal from 3, it is determined whether the ON signal has been generated from the ten count switches 5W4A and 5W4B. When the result of this determination is 11 y esI+, it is determined that the ON signal from the switch SW3 has been generated normally (not illegally), and this routine is ended as it is, and the process skips to step S56 of the main routine.

On the other hand, the determination result in step 5190 is II N OI+
In other words, when the game ball is on the ten count switch 5W4A
, Special prize switch S even though I haven't passed 5W4B
When the output signal of W3 turns ON, it is determined that some kind of fraud has occurred (SW4.3 continuous fraud state), and the process proceeds to step 5192, where the processing number is set to if 611 and that fact is memorized. SW4.3 Continuous illegal initialization is performed, this routine is ended, and the process skips to step S56 of the main routine. When the mode of fraud (SW4.3 consecutive fraud) is stored in this way,
In the subsequent processing, step S52 of the main routine is set to 1.
1 Y eSI+, and fraud processing (e.g., generation of sound effects depending on the content of fraud) is performed according to the mode of fraud.

Next, the doll clothes opening/closing door 1 installed in the variable prize winning device 10

It is roughly divided into four control blocks: 1,10-MoT-120).

The process will be explained below according to the flowchart.

FIG. 29 is a flow chart showing this motor control processing routine.

When this routine starts, first, in step $202, the value of the Tamagami check timer is decreased, and then in the next step 520.
4, decrease the value of the motor control timer (MCTIM).

Here, the Tamagami check timer (Tamagami timer) refers to whether the opening/closing motor is in the opening direction (CCW on) or in the closing direction (SW on).
This is provided to detect a state in which the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 does not open or close even after the timer has been activated. The subsequent processing is forcibly executed regardless of whether the doll clothes opening/closing door 1.30 is opened or closed. In addition, the motor control timer (MCT)
IM) is used to control the operation of the opening/closing motor 172, solenoids B, C, etc. in accordance with changes in the value of the control variable MCTLI in the processing from step 5208 described below. rMOT-10J to rMOT-120J), This is a timer for providing an interval between each of these sequential operation controls. This motor control timer is set to a desired value according to the control content in each subroutine (Figs. 30 to 41) according to the value of the control variable MCTLI, and whether or not the timer has timed up is determined. , is determined in the subsequent step 5206.

Returning to the flow of FIG. 29, if it is determined in step 5206 that the motor control timer (MCTIM) has not timed up yet (the determination result is 11 N 0

It is determined whether the value of I is '12' (step 5230).

Depending on these determination results, subroutines shown in the flows of FIGS. 30 to 41 are executed, respectively.

Hereinafter, these subroutines will be explained according to the actual operation of the doll clothes opening/closing door 30.

As described above, when the gaming machine 1 is powered on, a power-on operation is started. While this power-on operation is being performed, the control variable MCTLI mentioned above is If I

is executed.

Here, "power-on operation" means that the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is opened immediately after the power is turned on, and in this state, the mooring device exit door 112 is instantaneously opened/closed, and then the doll clothes opening/closing [130] is opened/closed. Refers to a series of actions called closing.

Immediately after the power is turned on, the main routine (Figure 24)
By executing the motor control initial processing (step 514), the value of control variable MCTL1 first becomes u1.
++, the determination result in step 5208 is Yes'', and rMOT-10J processing (30th
) is started.

In the rMOT-10J process, first in step 51002, the opening/closing motor 1 is activated to open the doll clothes opening/closing door 130.
The operation of rotating 72 in the counterclockwise direction (CCW ON) is started. In the next step, 51004, it is determined whether an ON signal is output from the motor switch MSW2 provided in the opening/closing door drive mechanism. This discrimination result is II
While it is NoI+, it is determined that the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 has not been opened sufficiently, and the process proceeds to step 31006.
~ Step 51014 is skipped, this routine is ended as it is, and the process proceeds to the auxiliary prize winning device control process (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine.

On the other hand, when the determination result in step 51004 is "Yes", the process proceeds to step 3100.6, in which the solenoid C is energized (ON) L to open the parking exit door 12 provided in the variable prize winning device, and the motor control is further performed. Step 51008: Set the value of timer MCTIM to 3 seconds.

Step S10'IO), set the control variable MCTLI to 2
(step 51012), and then stops driving the opening/closing motor 172 (step 5IOI4), ends this routine, and shifts to the auxiliary winning device control process.

In this way, when the doll clothes opening/closing door] 30 is sufficiently opened and the determination result in step 51004 changes to "Yes", and once the processing from step S1006 onwards is performed, the control variable MCTLI is set to P2''. Therefore, in the next motor control processing (Fig. 29), step 52 is executed.
10 is changed to "Yes", and the routine of rMOT-20J is started. Note that, as mentioned above, the motor control timer is set to 3 in step S1008.
Since it is set to seconds, there is an interval of 3 seconds between the end of the rMOT-10J process and the start of the rMOT-20J process.

When a predetermined period of time (3 seconds) has elapsed after the above-mentioned rMOT-1, OJ roasting process (in which the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is opened and the exit door 112 is opened immediately thereafter) is completed,
If the determination results in step 8206 and step 5210 are both “Yes”, rMOT-20J processing (
31) is executed.

In this rMOT-20J process, first, in step 51020, the solenoid C is demagnetized to 0FF to close the parking device exit door opened by the execution of step 51006, and then the motor control timer MCTIM is turned off for a predetermined time (500m5ec). ) (step 51022), set the Tamagami timer to a predetermined time (l 5ec) (step 51024), and set the control variable MCTLI to "3" (step 510).
26) This routine is ended, and the process moves to the main routine, auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC).

In the motor control process, when the next loop is performed, the determination result in step 3206 is set to II until the motor control timer times out.
When the result is N0+1, the auxiliary winning device control process of the main routine is executed (at this time, the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is opened and the exit door 112 is closed).

When the predetermined time has elapsed, the determination result in step 8206 changes to II YesT'', and the determination result in step 5212 becomes lYesI+ (at this point, the control variable MCTLI is set to If31+), r
MOT-3J processing (FIG. 32) is executed.

In this rMOT-3J process, first, step 5103
0, the operation of rotating the opening/closing motor 172 clockwise to close the doll clothes opening door 130 is started (C

It should be noted that before the determination result in step 51124 changes to Yes'', a ball game timer (this timer is rMOT-1 which will be described later) is activated.
When the timeout (set to a predetermined time after the 00J process is executed) has expired, it is determined that a ball has occurred in the doll clothes opening/closing door 130, and steps 31126 to 81132 are forcibly executed. There is.

As described above, when the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is completely closed and the determination result in step 51124 changes to "Yes", and the processing in steps 51126 to 51132 is performed, the control variable MCTL1 is set to "10". Therefore, the next motor control processing (29th
), the determination in step 5226 changes to “Yes”,
The rMOT-100J processing routine will be started.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, since the motor control timer is set to 500m5ec in step 51128,
While rMOT-90J processing is completed, rMOT-100
An interval of 0°5 seconds is provided before the J process is started.

After the rMOT-90J processing described above is completed, the rMOT- executed after the elapse of the predetermined time (5,00m5ec).
In the 100J process (FIG. 39), first, step S114. At 0, the operation of rotating the opening/closing motor 172 counterclockwise to open the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is started (CCW ON). Next step 5114
In step 2, it is determined whether or not a ball bite has occurred, and when the result of this determination is II N 0+1, the next step 51 is performed.
At step 144, it is determined whether the output signal from the motor switch MSW2 has reached H level (ON).

The determination result of this step Sl 144 is 11 NOI
While it is +, it is determined that the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is not completely opened yet, and the steps 81146 to 51154 or step 81146 and step 31 are performed.
Steps 156 to 51160 are skipped, this routine is ended as it is, and the process proceeds to the auxiliary winning device control process (S, 0LD-PRC) of the main routine.

The doll clothes opening/closing door 13 is opened/closed by the operation of the opening/closing motor 172.
0 is completely opened and the determination result of step 51144 is 1.
1 y When turning to eSll, the next step Sl 14

It is determined whether the continuous opening/closing operation at is that of the final (16) cycle H or not.

When the determination result of this step Sl 146 is IIN○'', the motor control process is executed in accordance with the 1st to 15th cycle operations in the 1 jackpot gaming state from step 31148 onwards, while the determination result is IIY eSl
When the time is 1, motor control processing is executed in accordance with the operation of the final (16) cycle starting from step 51156.

In the control process from the 1st to the 15th cycle of the jackpot game state, first, the r
In step 51148, the control variable MCTL is set to perform the MOT-90J processing alternately with the main rMOT-100J processing.
Set I to it 9 u, and then set the value of motor control timer MCTIM for a predetermined time (500ms e
c) (step 51150), and set the Tamagami timer to a predetermined time (step 52152);
Thereafter, the operation of the opening/closing motor 172 is stopped (step S1154), and this routine is ended.

As mentioned above, once the rMOT-904 process is executed, the control variable MCTLI is set to 10'', and rM
When the OT-100J process is executed, the control variable MC
Since TL+ is set to '9'', rMOT-90J processing and rM
The OT-100J process will be executed alternately with an interval time of 0.5 seconds, and by repeating this process, the "jackpot process" (this process will be executed when process No. 9 is 114 I+) will be described later. The doll clothes opening/closing door 130 repeats the opening/closing operation in accordance with the opening/closing operation (18 times) of the movable wing pieces 101 (18 times).

In addition, the movable wing pieces 101° 101 being carried out at this point
When the continuous opening/closing operation is in the final (16) cycle, as will be described later, a control process ( Control processing from step 31156 to step 51160) is executed.

By the way, in the "Jackpot process" (Fig. 48), which will be described in detail later, after the jackpot game state has started, after the movable wing pieces have opened and closed 18 times, or when 10 game balls are won in the variable prize winning device. After that, the game ball enters the special winning slot (V zone) 103 before a predetermined time period (the continuation condition may be satisfied even within the predetermined time period) has elapsed.
This is a condition for continuation of the jackpot gaming state. Therefore, when controlling the opening/closing of the doll clothes opening/closing door and the parking device entrance door/exit door, when the above-mentioned continuation condition is established, the jackpot weight processing (47th In the figure), the control variable MCTL
I is set to if 4 I+.

Then, when the jackpot process (FIG. 48) is started, MCTLI is set to Lr 8 I+ and the jackpot operation is started. Such processing is carried out for a maximum of 16 cycles as long as the above-mentioned jackpot game continuation conditions continue.

In addition, if the above-mentioned continuation condition is not satisfied during the "jackpot processing", step 514 of the "jackpot processing" described later
At step 28, the control variable MCTLI is set to '11''',
In the subsequent motor control processing, the jackpot end operation processing ("MOT-110J, rMOT-120")
) is executed.

Here, the jackpot end operation process is a motor control process that is performed in parallel with the wait process described later, and a predetermined time (4 seconds) has elapsed since the end of the continuous opening and closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device. Until this time, the doll clothes opening/closing door] 30 is opened (input of switch SW3 is permitted during this time), and in this state, the parking device exit door 11 is opened.

At 166, the solenoid C is excited (ON) to open the parking exit door 112, and then the control process for the solenoid C is started (step 51168), and at step S1]70, the jackpot game state at this point is determined. A determination is made as to whether or not this is the last (16th) cycle.

While this determination result is II NoT'', in step 51172, a sound effect (bomb sound) indicating that one cycle of operation in the jackpot game state has been completed is generated.
Processing after step 51174, that is, control variable MCT
Set LI to II 121+ (Step 51174)
, then control timer MCTIM is set for a predetermined time (3
, 5 seconds) (step 51176) and set the Tamagami timer to a predetermined time (step 51178).
1. Thereafter, the operation of the opening/closing motor 172 is stopped (step 81180), this routine is ended, and the process moves to the auxiliary winning device control process of the main routine.

When the predetermined time set in step 51176 above has elapsed, the motor control process (
Of steps 3208 to 5230 in FIG. 29), if the determination result in step 5230 is
It becomes sI+ and the "rMOT-120" process is executed.

In this rMo"r-120J process, first, step 51
At 190, the operation of rotating the opening/closing motor 172 clockwise to close the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is started (CW ON). In the next step 5l192, it is determined whether or not a ball bite has occurred. This determination result is IIN○″
In the next step 51194, it is determined whether the output signal from the motor switch MSWI is at H level (ON), that is, whether the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is closed.

If the result of this determination is 'lN OI+, it is determined that the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is not completely closed yet, and this routine is immediately terminated, and the process returns to the auxiliary winning device control process (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine. Transition.

Thereafter, when the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is fully opened and the determination result is r=YesI+, the process advances to step 51196 and the control variable MCTLI is set to 1101+.
At the same time, the operation of the opening/closing motor 172 is stopped in step 5l198, and this routine is ended.
The process moves to the auxiliary winning device control process of the main routine.

Note that the determination result in step 51194 is "Yesll".
If it is determined that a ball game has occurred before switching to , this routine is immediately terminated and the process proceeds to the auxiliary winning device control process of the main routine.

The series of operations related to the "jackpot" described above is continued up to 15 times, and is performed for a maximum of 16 cycles.

Then, the jackpot operation process (r
MOT-90, rMOT-100, +) In the jackpot process (see Figure 48 below), the control variable MCTLI is
10'', so in the last (16th) cycle jackpot operation block of the motor control process, the process starts from rMOT-100J (Figure 39), and rMO'' of the r-100J process. Even during execution, the control variable MCTLI is not set to 119 II (the determination result of step 5l146 of rMOT-100j becomes ``Yes'' and step 81148 is not executed). For this reason 1
In the sixth cycle of motor control processing, the opening/closing control of the entrance door and exit door of the parking device (step 51156 in FIG. 39) is performed while the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 remains open.
~steps 51160) will be performed.

That is, with the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 opened, both solenoids B and C are energized (ON) to open it in step 5.
1156), the control variable MCTLI is reset to II OII (step S]158), the operation of the opening/closing motor 172 is stopped (step 51160), this routine is ended, and the process moves to the auxiliary winning device control process of the main routine.

In addition, at the end of the final (16) cycle continuous opening/closing operation of the jackpot game state, rM of the jackpot end operation processing
The determination result of step 5l170 of OT-110J is I
Yes, and the process ends without generating a sound effect (bomb sound) (step 51172) to coincide with the end of the continuous opening/closing operation.

Next, the auxiliary prize winning device control process executed in step 338 of the main routine will be explained according to the flowchart of FIG. 42.

This auxiliary winning device control process causes a variable display game to be played on the condition that a game ball enters the big winning hole (specific winning hole) 5 of the game board 3, and depending on this result, controls the auxiliary variable winning device 50. This is the process to activate it.

When this routine starts, first, step 51202
, the specific winning switch SW5 installed in the big winning opening 5
It is then determined whether an ON signal (H level signal) is output. When this determination result is IINOI+, the following step S ] 204° Step 51206
is skipped and the processing from step 51208 onwards is executed.

On the other hand, the determination result of step 51202 is 11 Y
esll, that is, when the game ball enters the grand prize opening 5, it is determined in the subsequent step 51204 whether or not the specific winning memory number is II 41+.

Here, the specific winning memory number refers to the big winning opening (specific winning opening)
The number of game balls (winning balls) that have won a prize but for which the variable display game corresponding to that prize has not yet been executed (
This is a variable for storing up to four (unprocessed number), and its value is decremented by 1 each time the variable display game is executed. By setting the specific winning memory number in this way, even if a game ball wins in the specific winning hole 5 while the variable display game is being executed, the winning will be remembered and the number of winnings will be remembered and the number of winnings will be stored. After the variable display game ends, the next variable display game starts to be played.

Returning to FIG. 42, as long as the determination result in step 51204 is "No", the process advances to step 51206 to update the value of the specific winning memory number (addition of "BI") and to update the newly stored memory number. A numerical value is extracted from a predetermined random number table (the table is selected in advance by the aforementioned random number setting switch) in correspondence with the number of objects, and then the process proceeds to step 51208 and subsequent steps. On the other hand, step 5
When the determination result in step 1204 is r Y esll, the number of stored items is not updated (step 51206 is skipped) and the process proceeds to step 51208 and subsequent steps.

In the process from step 5I208 onward, the variable display game and the operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 are controlled based on the above-mentioned "r specific number of winnings stored".

This flow will be explained below in accordance with changes in the gaming state.

Now, suppose the "specific winning memory number" is 11011 and,
Consider a case where the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 has stopped its operation.

When this flow starts in this state, step 5120
The result of the determination in step 2 is 'No', and the process proceeds to step 51208, where it is determined whether or not the solenoid D on timer SOLDTTM is counting.
TIM is the stopping mode of the variable display game by the variable display game device 52 (the 7-segment numerical display is rQJ to "9").
) is displayed in the predetermined mode (“3” or “7”).
This counter is provided to excite (ON) the solenoid D for a predetermined period of time from when a hit occurs, and the count value of the counter is set at step 51250, which will be described later, at the same time that a hit occurs. for a predetermined time (0.85 ec
) is set.

When the "specific winning memory number" is O''' and the auxiliary variable winning device 5o is stopped, step 3 is executed.
The determination result at 1208 is If No II, and the process proceeds to step 51210, where the solenoid D is demagnetized (OFF), and the solenoid D operation flag is reset to 11 Q II at step 51212, and the process proceeds to step Sl21.
Perform judgment 4.

In step 51214, it is determined whether the gaming machine is normally processing. Here, the normal process is a process that is executed when the process number is II OII (FIG. 44), and is a process in which the variable prize winning device 10 installed on the game board 3 does not perform any operation.

When the determination result in step 51214 is "Yes", the lighting of various lamps and LEDs installed on the game board 3 and the generation of sound effects from the speakers are stopped (OFF) (step 51216), and the processing from step 51218 onwards is performed. Execute. On the other hand, if a process other than the normal process is being performed at this point (the determination result of step 51214 is 11 NO''), step 51216 is skipped and the process from step 31218 onward is performed (at this time, various The lamp, LED, and speaker are controlled in accordance with the operation of the variable prize winning device 50 as described later).

In the following step 31218, solenoid D is energized (ON).
) is determined. Auxiliary variable winning device 50
In this loop, which was performed before the operation of It is determined whether the timer has timed up), and whether or not the symbols on the variable display game device 52 are changing, that is, whether or not the stop symbol has been determined (step 51222), and whether the specific winning number memory is determined is II O.
” (step 51224) is sequentially determined.

In this loop where the variable display game has not been played yet, the determination results in steps 51220 and 51222 are both 11 No II and step 51224.
The determination result is 11 y eSI+, and the process skips steps 31228 to 51244, which will be described later, and proceeds to step Sl 226, in which the random number for determining the symbol that was extracted in advance to determine the result of the variable display game is updated. This routine ends and the process moves to the main routine SW2 set processing (SW2SET).

While this routine is being executed according to the flow described above, when a game ball enters the top prize opening (specific prize opening) 5 (switch SW5 is turned on), the determination result of step 51202 changes to 11 y eS++, and step 51204
．． Step 51206 is performed. In this way, when it is detected that the game ball has entered the Tennin Prize Port 5, the specific number of winnings memory becomes a value of "'1" or more), the above-mentioned step 5
After steps 1208 to 51222 are executed in the same manner as above, the determination result of step 51224 is 'Y'.
Switching to esII, the processing from step 31228 onwards is executed, and the variable display game is started.

First, in step 51228, the specific winning memory number is subtracted by 1111+, and the rotating timer is set to a predetermined time (for example, 55 ec), and then the variable display game device 52 displays symbols in a variable manner (step 51230), and then it is determined whether the rotation timer has timed up (step 51232).

After the variable display game is started by the winning of a game ball into the top prize opening 5, until the above-mentioned predetermined time has elapsed, this determination result becomes 11 N OI+16 Then, the stop switch installed on the gaming machine by the player It is determined whether SW6 has been pressed (whether an ON signal has been output from SW6) (step 51234). If the determination result in both steps 51232 and 51234 is NO, step 51226 is executed without executing steps 31236 to 51244.
This routine ends.

In this way, once the variable display game is started and the symbols are changed, in the next and subsequent loops, step 8120 is executed.
After Steps 2 to 51220 are sequentially executed, the determination result in Step 51222 changes to "Yes" (at this time, Step 31224 and Step S122'8 are skipped), and the processes from Step 51230 onwards are executed. Ru.

When the symbol variation of the variable display game continues for a predetermined period of time and the rotation timer times out, or when a stop switch (not shown) is pressed by the player, steps 51232 and 5123 are executed.
The determination result of either one of step 4 is LL Y eSI+, and the processing from step 51236 onward is performed.

First, in step 51236, the symbol that is the result of the current variable display game is determined (determined to be one of If OII to 119 TT determined according to the numerical value extracted from the random number table), and then the determined symbol is It is determined whether it is a winning symbol (for example, II 3 II and II 71+) (whether it is a hit or not) (step 5
1238).

If the determination result is "No", that is, the result of the variable display game is a loss, the loss display timer is set for a predetermined period of time (for example, 0, 55 seconds) to set the period of loss display.
), step 51240), and then the losing symbols are displayed on the variable display game device 52 (step 51).
242), the value of the loss display timer set above is updated (step 51244), and the step 51
After performing step 224, this routine ends.

If the result of the variable display game is "lost" in this way, in the subsequent loop, the step 812 is performed.
After performing the processing from step 02 to step 31218, the determination result at step 51220 changes to "Yes", and after performing step 51244 and step 51226, this routine ends.

When the "lost" display for the predetermined period of time is completed, the determination result in step 51220 becomes "No" again, and the processing from step 51222 onwards is performed.

Next, consider a case where the stopped symbol becomes a winning symbol ("3" rr7n) as a result of the variable display game described above.

In this case, in step 51238, which is carried out immediately after the stop symbol as the game result of the variable display game is determined, the determination result becomes 11 y eSI+, and the process proceeds to step 51246 and thereafter, and the movable member 51. 51 is opened for a predetermined time (0°8 sec).

First, in step 51246, solenoid D is energized (O
N) Set the solenoid D activation flag to II II II to indicate that the solenoid D is energized (
ON) (step 51248), and the solenoid D on timer SOLDTIM for controlling the excitation time of solenoid D is set for a predetermined time (e.g. 0, 85ec).
) (step 51250), and step 512
52 is determined.

In this step Sl 252, the above-mentioned step 512
14, it is determined in the main routine executed at this point whether or not normal processing is being executed. When this determination result is II YeSI'' (at this time, no sound effect corresponding to the operation of the variable winning device 10 is generated), a sound effect is generated to notify the opening of the movable member 51, 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device. (Step 51254), the process proceeds to Step 51226, and then this routine ends.

On the other hand, the determination result of step Sl 252 is IIN○
'', the process proceeds to step 51226 without generating the sound effect representing the opening of the movable member 51.51 (skipping step 51254), and then ends this routine.

In the loop after the stopped symbol as a result of the variable display game becomes "r symbol", the determination result in step S1208 becomes IIYeI+ until the solenoid D timer times up (0.8 sec), and step S1 The process advances to step 256 to update the value of the solenoid geon timer used for the determination (at this time, the excitation of solenoid D is continued), and the process advances to step 51218 for determination.

In this state, the determination result in step 51218 (whether or not solenoid D is on) is II Yes,
In step S1258, it is determined again in the main routine whether or not normal processing is being executed.

When this determination result is "Yes", that is, during normal processing, the variable winning device 10 is not operating, as will be described later, and therefore, the lamps and LEDs according to changes in the device 10 are not activated.
is not lit/blinking, step 512
At 60, the movable member 51.51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50
Operation control processing of lamps and LEDs to notify the opening of
lighting/blinking).

On the other hand, when a process other than the normal process is being performed, the lamps and LEDs have already been lit/blinked according to the gaming state, so the step Sl 260 is skipped and the process proceeds to the step 81226. After that, this routine ends.

Such a series of processing is repeated while the solenoid D is energized (0.8 seconds until the solenoid geon timer counts up).

After the movable members 51, 51 of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 are opened and the solenoid geon timer finishes counting the predetermined time, the determination result of step 51208 is
When switching to INOI+, solenoid D is excited (OFF) to close the movable member (step 51210), and then, in step 51212, the solenoid D activation flag is reset to 0'', and then step Processing after 51214 is performed.

In the processing after step S12U4 performed in this case, the determination in step 51218 is again II N
oll, and the processing from step 51220 onward, ie, the processing for playing the next variable display game, is performed.

When the operation control of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 corresponding to one winning ball that entered the top prize opening 5 is completed, the determination in step 51224 is performed again, and at this point, the specific winning prize memory is When the number of balls is a value other than uOI+, the operation control of the auxiliary variable winning device corresponding to the winning ball entering the top winning hole 5 is started again.

Next, with reference to FIG. 43, a description will be given of the SW2 setting process that is carried out when opening the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 of the variable winning device under the condition that a game ball enters the auxiliary variable winning device 5o.

This SW2 set processing (SW2SET) is executed in step S40 of the main routine described above.
The opening/closing motor 172 is rotated in the direction in which the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 opens (<CCW ON) based on the ON signal output from the opening/closing condition switch SW2.

When this routine starts, first, step 51300
At , it is determined whether the open/close determination flag FLGST is "1". This opening/closing determination flag FLGST determines whether or not the opening control (CCW ON) of the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 based on SW2 ON is started after the output signal from the opening/closing condition switch SW2 rises (SW2 ON). It is set to rr 1 ++ in step 51306 and to "O++" in step 51314, which will be described later.

At the time this routine is performed, the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is still open.
When opening control is started (step 513
00 determination result is 'No'), next step 51302
Opening/closing condition switch S installed on the auxiliary variable winning device at
It is determined whether the output signal from W2 has risen to H level (ON). When this determination result is II N O++, it is determined that no game ball has entered the auxiliary variable winning device 50 yet, and the process proceeds to step 51304-? - After skipping step 51312 and setting the open/close determination flag FLGST to ''On in step 51314,
After finishing this routine, step S42 of the main routine
The process moves to subsequent processing (BRANCH).

As a result of the game ball being won in the auxiliary variable winning device, when the determination result in step Sl 302 changes to II Yes es I+, processing No. is entered in the next step 51304.

It is determined whether or not is smaller than "4". This determination is
This is performed to determine whether or not the gaming machine is in a gaming state after the jackpot generation condition has been established (i. winning in zone 103), and when the determination result in step 51304 is "No", It is determined that the gaming machine is already in the gaming state after the jackpot generation condition has been established, and steps 31306 to 51312 are skipped, the process proceeds to step 51314, and then this routine is ended (at this time, if the current loop has occurred) The opening control of the doll clothes opening/closing 5130 based on the ON signal from the switch SW2 is not performed).

When the determination result in step 51304 is "Yes", that is, when the jackpot generation condition has not yet been established, first, in step 31306, the above-mentioned opening/closing determination flag FLGST is set to rr 1 u, and then in step 3
At 1308, the operation of rotating the opening/closing motor 172 counterclockwise to open the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is started (CCW ON). In the next step 51310, the output signal from the motor switch MSW2 is set to H level (ON).
), that is, whether the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 has been revised.

The determination result of this step S] 310 is 'f N o+1
If this is the case, it is determined that the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is not completely opened yet, and the following steps $1312 and step 51314 are skipped, the present routine is ended, and the process returns to the main routine.

In the next and subsequent loops, the open/close determination flag FLGST is set to "
Since the determination result in the step 51300 is "Yes", the step 31 is set to "l".
Processing is executed from 308 onwards.

When the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is sufficiently opened by the operation of the opening/closing motor 172 and the determination result in step $1310 changes to 11 y eS++, the operation of the opening/closing motor 172 is stopped in step 51312, and step 51
At 314, the open/close determination flag FLGST is set to II OI.
Reset to I, end this routine, and return to the main routine.

Next, steps 342 to S5 of the main routine
4, the operation control process of the variable prize winning device 10 performed according to the value of process No. 4 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 44 to 49.

The operation control process of this variable prize winning device is as follows: ■ Normal process executed when the process number is /l O#; ■ S process executed when the process number is II II II.
WI processing (SWIPRC).

(2) SW permission processing (SWENA) executed when the processing number is 2″′.

■Big win rewait processing (HI TWA I T) executed when processing number is 3''.

■Jackpot processing (HITPRC) executed when processing No. is 471.

(2) Wait processing (WAITPRC) executed when the processing number is '5'.

It is broadly classified into: ①Unauthorized processing (INJPRC) that is executed when the processing number is II 6 II.

Hereinafter, each processing content according to the processing number will be explained in detail.

When the power is turned on to the pachinko game machine, the processing number is reset to II OII in step S12 of the main routine (FIG. 24), so in the loop immediately after that, steps S42 to S52 of the main routine are reset.
All the determination results are llNo'', and step S
At 54, normal processing (FIG. 44) is executed.

This normal processing (USULLY) is performed when the gaming machine is in a normal operating state (the variable wing pieces 101 101 of the variable prize winning device, the doll clothes opening/closing door 13o1, the stop device entry door 111/the exit door 112 are all stopped). This is executed when the current state is present.

When this normal processing is executed, first, step 5132
0, a decorative lamp corresponding to the normal processing.

The lighting/blinking of decorative LEDs, etc. (lamp/LED control) is performed, and in the next step 51322, the gaming machine 1 is in the power-on operation immediately after the power is turned on (the doll clothes opening/closing door in the variable winning device is turned on at the same time as the power is turned on). , the parking device entrance door/exit door performs a preliminary operation). When the result of this determination is "Yes", it is determined that the pachinko game by the player has not yet started, and the routine is ended without executing subsequent steps 51324 and 51326.

On the other hand, the determination result of step Sl 322 is it N
In the case of o++, it is determined in step 51324 whether the output signal from the starting winning switch SWI has risen to the H level (has been turned on).

As long as this determination result is NO, the following step 51
326 is skipped, this routine ends, and the main routine proceeds to step S56. The process moves to S58. When the normal processing is repeated and the game ball launched into the game area 4 enters the starting winning slots 8 and 8 and the determination result in step 51324 changes to =ly eSI+, in step 81326 , the processing number that had been set in II OII until then is set to 1''', and the count value of the processing timer used for determining the SWI processing (Fig. 45), which will be described later, reaches the predetermined time (2 sec). Initialization of SWI processing such as setting is performed, and then this routine is ended and step S of the main program is performed.
56. The process moves to S58.

As mentioned above, during normal processing, the game ball starts to enter the winning slot 8.
8 and the processing NO. 1 is set to ll I II, the next time the main routine is executed, the determination result in step S42 of the main routine (FIG. 24) is
YES ES++, and SWI processing is started.

This SWI process is a process in which the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device perform one opening/closing operation every time one game ball enters the starting winning holes 8, 8, and is shown in FIG. It is done according to the flow.

When this SWI process is started, first, the display mode of the two display sections (first segment 105a, second segment h105b) of the cycle number display 105 installed on the game board 3 is changed to a predetermined mode (110 (step 51330), and then a predetermined time set in the processing timer (at this point, the predetermined time set in step 51326 of the normal processing described above) is performed (step 51330).
25ec) has timed up (step 51332). As long as the result of this determination is NO'', this routine is ended without executing the processes after step 51334 (at this time, the solenoids A and A for opening and closing the movable blades are OFF).

After the predetermined time (25 ec) has elapsed, the step 51
If the determination result of 332 changes to Yes'', step 5
At step 1334, the value of the continuation counter (this counter counts the number of cycles during the jackpot game) is reset to II Q II, and the process proceeds to step 81336, where the special winning switch provided in the special winning opening (V zone) 1o3 is reset. SW3 for effectively processing the detection signal from SW3
The detection permission flag VSWFG is set to 1''.Furthermore, in the next step 51338, the value of the solenoid counter 5OLCNT, which counts the number of times the solenoids A and A are switched between energization (ON) and demagnetization (OFF), is set by If 1 +1. Then, in step 51340, solenoid A
, A is switched to the 0N10FF state (in this case, the movable blade is opened by switching from demagnetization (OFF) to excitation (ON)), and the determination in step 51342 is performed.

In step 51342, it is determined whether or not the opening/closing control (one opening/closing in this embodiment) of the movable wing pieces 101° 101 corresponding to one winning ball that entered the starting winning openings 8, 8 has been completed. After the solenoids A and A are excited (ON) to open the movable blade, it is determined whether or not the solenoids A and A are demagnetized (OFF) to close the movable blade.

When the result of this determination is If No1+, that is, when the movable blades 101, 101 are not yet closed, the value of the processing timer is set to a predetermined time (500 m5ec), and this routine is immediately terminated.

In the next and subsequent loops, the movable wing piece 101 of the variable prize winning device.
Solenoid A for opening 101.

Since the excitation (ON) of A continues for the predetermined time (500 m5ec) set in the processing timer, the determination result in step 51332 becomes 11332 during that time, and only steps 31330 and 51332 are repeatedly executed. If the determination result in step 51332 changes to "Yes'' after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, step 31334
~Step 51340 is executed again. In this case, in step 51340, the solenoids A, A are switched from the energized (ON) state to the demagnetized (OFF) state, and control is performed in the direction in which the movable blades 101, 101 are closed.

When the opening/closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 based on winning of the game ball in the starting winnings 08, 8 is completed, the determination result in step 51342 changes to ``Yes'',
Processing from step 31346 to step 51352 is performed.

First, in step 51346, the process number is set to 112 II in order to start a switch permission process to be described later, and in step 51348, a sound effect corresponding to the opening/closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 that has been performed up to this point is set. generation is stopped, and in the next step 51350, after the opening/closing operation of the movable wing pieces is completed, the above-mentioned S
The value of the SW3 test flag VFG used for determining the W3 permission control process (FIG. 28) is set to ``1n'', and at step 51352, the time during which the ON signal of the special winning switch SW3 is enabled is counted. Set the SW3 valid time timer to a predetermined time (for example, 45ec)
, and end this routine.

In the next and subsequent loops, the process number is set to 112 + 1 in step 81346, so the determination result in step S42 of the main routine is ``lNoI'' and the determination result in step S44 is ``Y e s''. The SW permission process (FIG. 46) is executed.

This SW permission process (SWENA) is a process that is performed after the above-mentioned SW1 process ends until the predetermined time (45 ec) set in step 51352 of the SWI process has elapsed, and this SW permission process is executed. By doing this, the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 opened by the above-mentioned SW setup process (FIG. 43) can be opened and closed at the end of the opening/closing operation of the movable wings 101, 101 performed when a game ball enters the starting prize opening. It is configured to close again when the predetermined time (35 ec) has elapsed.

When this routine is started, first, in step 51360, a process is performed to display the number of cycles on the cycle number display installed on the game board 3, and then, in step 51
At 362, it is determined whether or not a new game ball has entered the starting winning hole 8t8 (whether SWl is on or not).

When the determination result is 11 y eST'', the process proceeds to the normal process (USULLY) without executing the process after step 51364, and the opening/closing operation of the movable blades 101, 101 based on SWI ON is enabled (at this point (If the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is opened, that state is maintained).

On the other hand, if the determination result in step 51362 is IfNoI
If it is +, the process proceeds to step 51364, where it is determined whether the SW3 valid time timer is II OII (has timed up). If the determination result is trNO'', that is, the predetermined time (45 ec) has not yet elapsed after the above-mentioned SWI processing (Fig. 45) is completed, the process proceeds to step 51366, and the time until the time-out is reached is It is determined whether there is one second remaining.As long as the result of this determination is "NO", the process proceeds to step 51.
Skip step 368 and end this routine.

On the other hand, when the remaining time becomes 1 second and the determination result changes to "Yes", in step 51368, the doll clothes opening/closing door 13
Opening/closing motor 17 to start operation in the closing direction of
2 in the clockwise direction (CW ON), and then ends this routine (if the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is already closed at this point, this routine ends immediately).

Such a closing operation of the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is performed (
This operation is completed in at least 1 second), and when the predetermined time (45 ec) has elapsed (when the SW3 valid time timer times up), the determination result in step 51364 becomes II y esl', and step 513
At 7o, the process number is set to 740 II, and then the above-mentioned normal process (U S U LLY) is executed.

By the way, during the execution of the above-mentioned SW permission process (at this time, the process N
o, is r 2 n), when a game ball enters the special winning slot (V zone) (a jackpot occurs), the processing No. is determined by executing the SW3 detection processing.

is forcibly set to 3'', so even in the middle of the SW permission process, the process is forced to proceed to the jackpot wait process (FIG. 47), which will be described later.

Note that if a jackpot occurs and the jackpot wait process is started before the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is closed by executing step 51368, the doll clothes opening/closing door 13 is closed.
0 remains open, and subsequent processing is performed.

As mentioned above, during the execution of the SWI process or the SW permission process, the game ball enters the special winning slot (V zone) 103 and the SW3
When the process number is set to 3'' in the detection process, in the subsequent loop, the determination result in step S46 of the main routine changes to 11 Yes II, and the jackpot wait process (FIG. 47) is executed. .

This jackpot wait process (HI TWA I T) is
A predetermined period of time (55 e
This process is to provide an interval c), and during this jackpot weight process, the preliminary opening/closing operation (jackpot weight operation) of the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 in the variable prize winning device and the parking device entrance door/exit door is performed. (rMOT-40J~ of the motor control processing mentioned above)
"Operation control by MOT-80J).

When this jackpot wait process (HI TWAIT) is started, first, the cycle number display 105 displays the number of continuations (cycle number) in the jackpot gaming state (step 51380), and then the current It is determined whether the loop is a loop immediately after transition to this jackpot wait process (step 51382). If this determination result is 11 y esII, step 5
1384, the processing timer is set for a predetermined time (for example, 55ec)
, and in the subsequent step 51386, the value of the control variable MCTLI is set to ``4'' in order to start the aforementioned motor control process (FIG. 29) from the rMOT-40J process (step 51386), and then the processing timer is decremented. (Step 31388), and then it is determined whether or not the processing timer has timed up as a result of the decrement (Step 51390).

As long as the determination result is II No I+, the eight power process (step 51392) of the sound effect (fanfare) corresponding to the jackpot weight process is performed, and this routine is ended.

When this routine is subsequently executed in subsequent loops, the determination result in step 51382 is l N
OI+ is obtained, steps 513111 to 51386 are skipped, and processing is executed from step 51388.

Such processing is performed for the predetermined time (55 ec), and the determination result in step S] 390 is +1 y
When switching to esII, in step 51394, 1111+ is added to the value of the continuation counter representing the number of continuations of the cycle in the jackpot game state, and the processing number is further set to 4'' (step 51396), and this routine is ended. do.

After a predetermined period of time (55 ec) has elapsed since the conditions for generating a jackpot are established (SW3 is turned on), the processing number changes to 4.
'', the determination result in step S48 of the main routine (FIG. 24) becomes YES'', and the jackpot process (FIG. 48) is executed.

This jackpot processing (HITPRC) involves actually continuously opening and closing the movable wings 101, 101 of the variable prize winning device (up to 18 opening/closing operations are considered as one cycle; however, if 10 game balls win during one cycle of operation) This is the process to end the process at a certain point.

When this routine starts, first, step 51400
, the number of cycles at this point is displayed on the cycle number display 10.
5 is performed, and then the value of the opening/closing processing timer is decremented (step 51402). At this time, the processing timer switches the 0N10FF of solenoids A and A during the continuous opening and closing operation of the movable wing pieces in the jackpot game state (alternately energizes (ON) every predetermined time (e.g. 800 m5ec) elapses)
)/demagnetized (OFF)).

In the next step 51404, it is determined whether or not the jackpot game has reached its final (16) cycle at this point (although the number of continuations is II 15 ++). When this determination result is trN○'' (1st to 15th cycles), the control variable MCTLI used in the motor control process (Fig. 29) is II 9 # (step 51406), while the determination result is “Yes”.
” (16th cycle), the control variable MC is changed in order to control the doll clothes opening/closing door in accordance with the final cycle.
Set TL1 to '10' (step 51408),
The process advances to step 51410 and subsequent steps.

In step 51410, it is determined whether the processing timer has timed up. Since this processing timer has already reached IIO++ during the execution of the jackpot wait processing, the determination result at step 51410 is Yes'', and the processing from step S14]2 to step 51418 is executed.

First, in step 51412, the above step 51410
The processing timer used to determine
5ec), and then in step 51414, the operating states of solenoids A and A are reversed (after the jackpot occurs,
In the first loop, it is switched from demagnetization (OFF) to excitation (ON)), and after the value of the solenoid counter 5OLCNT, which counts the number of times the solenoids A and A are switched on and off, is incremented by l' (step 51416), step At 51418, the above solenoid counter s.

It is determined whether the value of LCNT has become "35'" or not.

As mentioned above, in the pachinko game machine of this embodiment, the number of movable blades per cycle in the jackpot game state is 101.101.
can be opened and closed a maximum of 18 times. Therefore, at the time when the movable blade starts the opening operation of the 18th operation (by this point, solenoid A.

A is switched on/off 35 times), the determination result changes to 'Yes', and step 5142, which will be described later, is performed.
6 and subsequent processes are executed.

As long as the determination result in step 51418 is "No", the process advances to step 51420 and the number of winning game balls in the variable winning device lo is set to ten count switch 5W4A.
, 5W4B, and then it is determined whether the output signals of the ten count switches 5W4A and 5W4B have become H level (ON) during the current loop execution (step 51422). ).

The determination result of this step 51422 is l/No2+
In this case, the routine ends without executing the following step 51424. On the other hand, when the determination result is "Yes", it is determined in step 31424 whether or not the number of winning game balls TENCNT obtained by the ten count control process has reached 111 Q ++. As long as the result of this determination is 11 N oI+, this routine is terminated as is;
When the result is y es++, step 514 described below
26 and subsequent processes are executed.

According to the above-mentioned flow, the game ball enters the special winning hole (V zone) 103, and in the loop immediately after this jackpot processing starts, the movable wings 101, 101 of the variable winning device are moved for a predetermined period of time. Energize solenoids A and A to open them (
○N) is started (OF at step S 1.414)
F to ΩN).

Until a predetermined time (800 m5ec) has elapsed after the excitation (○N) of the solenoids A and A has started, the determination result in step 51410 will be ``No+1'' and steps 51412 to 51418 will not be executed. Proceed to the processing after step 51420 (at this time, the movable blades 101, 101 are held in the open state) 6. When the predetermined time has elapsed and the determination result in step 51410 changes to "Yes", the processing timer is set to a predetermined value. Time (8
00m5ec) (step 51412),
Step 51414 solenoid A, A's ○N/○FF
A switching process is performed.

At this time, the solenoids A and A are switched from the ON state to the FF state, and therefore, the movable wing pieces 101 of the variable prize winning device,
101 is driven in the closing direction.

Thereafter, the movable wing pieces will be driven from open to closed or from open to closed every predetermined time (800 m5ec).

Such 0N10F F switching operation of solenoids A and A is repeated 35 times (solenoid counter =
``35''), or the ten count switches 5W4A and 5W4B detect 10 winning balls before that (ten count counter = ``10''), the jackpot game state is terminated. The processing from step 51426 onwards is performed as soon as possible.

First, in step 51426, the lamps and LEDs set on the game board 3 are returned to the normal lighting/flashing state (L
ED lamp initial). In the next step 31428, the above-mentioned control variable MCTLI is set to ll 11 II so that the operation of the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 in the motor control process is the operation at the end of the jackpot (jackpot end operation), and the movable wing piece Solenoids A and A are demagnetized (OFF) to close them (step S l 430).

In the next step 51432, it is determined whether the continuous opening/closing operation that had been performed up to that point was the final cycle (16th cycle) (whether the continuation counter is tt 15 rr).

When this determination result is II No I+ (1 to 15 cycles), in step 51434, the process number is set to 5'' in order to execute the wait process (FIG. 49) to be described later in the subsequent main routine. Step 3143
Processing after 8, that is, the SW3 detection flag VFG mentioned above.
Set the value of SW3 to 1'' (step 51438), set the SW3 valid time timer to a predetermined time (for example, 45 ec) step 51440), and execute the wait process initialization to execute the wait process described later (step 51).
442), and then stops the sound effect (step 51).
446), terminate this program.

On the other hand, the determination result of step 51432 is +1 y
At the time of eSI+ (at the time of the final cycle), the process No.,
is set to O''' (step 51444), then step 51446 is executed, and this routine ends.

As mentioned above, when a jackpot occurs and the jackpot game state starts, the wait process (Fig. 49) described later is executed at the end of the continuous opening/closing operation from the 1st cycle to the 15th cycle, and the final ( 16) When the continuous opening/closing operation of the cycle is completed, the jackpot game state is terminated and a transition is made to normal processing.

By the way, the process performed at the end of the continuous opening/closing operation of cycles 1 to 15 is that when the conditions for ending the jackpot gaming state are met, the special winning opening (■ zone) 103 is opened for a predetermined period of time (counting time of the SW3 valid timer). It detects whether or not a game ball has won a prize, and if a prize has been won during this process, it is possible to further continue the jackpot game state. In addition, if a game ball enters the special winning opening (■ zone) 103 before the conditions for ending the jackpot gaming state (opening/closing 18 times or completion of 10 counts), the above-mentioned SW3 detection process ( Processing No. is immediately executed by executing the step (Fig. 28).

is set to II 3 II, and the operation control in the jackpot game state is performed from the jackpot wait processing (FIG. 47) described above.

As described above, when the process number is set to 115u, the wait process (FIG. 49) is executed. In this wait processing (WAITPRC), first, step 51450
The solenoid C is energized (ON) in order to open the parking device exit door 112, and the count value (cycle number) of the above-mentioned continuation number counter is displayed on the cycle number display 105 (step 51452). Then, the processing timer set to a predetermined time (45 ec) at the end of the jackpot processing is decremented (step 51454).
will be carried out.

In the next step 51456, it is determined whether or not the processing timer has timed up, and the result of this determination is 11 N
While the status is OI+, the monitoring processing from step 51458 onwards is performed.

This monitoring process further counts a predetermined time (for example, 2.998 sec) after the jackpot processing is completed, and a predetermined time (2,988 seconds) after the jackpot processing is started.
sec), it is determined whether or not there has been any fraud based on whether or not the ten count switches 5W4A and 5W4B have not been ONL even once.

First, in step 51458, the predetermined time (2,98
8 sec) has elapsed, and as long as the result of this determination is rr N Ou, the ten count switch 5W4A is turned on at step 51460.

Input processing of the 5W4B output signal (10 count control) is performed, and then this routine ends.

When the 10-count control over the predetermined time (2,988 seconds) is completed and the determination result in step 31458 changes to Yes'', the process proceeds to step 51462, in which both the entrance door 111 and the exit door 112 of the parking device must be closed. (, Solenoid B.

C is demagnetized (OFF), and then step 514
64, the ten count counter TENCN at this point.
It is determined whether the value of T is 'O''.

This determination result is 11 Y eSI+, that is, after the continuous opening/closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 in the jackpot game state is started, the opening/closing operation is finished, and further, the above-mentioned predetermined time (2,998 sec) has elapsed. Despite that, the ten count switch 5W4A.

When no winning of game balls is detected by SW4B, it is determined that some kind of fraud has been committed in the variable prize winning device 10, ten count switches 5W4A, 5W4B, etc., and in step 51468, it is memorized and a no count fraud initial is set. ), this routine ends.

On the other hand, the determination result in step 51464 is “No+
+, that is, the ten count switch 5W4A indicates that a game ball has won in the variable winning device 10 before the predetermined time (2,998 seconds) has elapsed.

If detected by SW4B, step 51460
After proceeding to and performing ten count control, this routine ends.

In this way, when winning of a game ball into the variable winning device 10 is detected, the process continues from step 31450 to step 5145.8 until the processing timer times up.

As described in detail above, the pachinko game machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a variable winning device 10 in which the movable wing pieces 101, 101 are opened and the state is changed from a state in which a game ball cannot be received to a state in which it is easy to receive a game ball. , an accessory control device 600 that generates a jackpot game state on the condition that a game ball enters a special prize opening (V zone) 103 provided in the variable prize winning device 10; and a big prize control device installed in the game board 3. When the result of a variable display game that is played on the condition that a game ball enters the opening (specific winning opening) 5 is a win, the movable member 51.51
is opened, and the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 is converted from a state in which game balls cannot be received to a state in which it is easy to receive game balls, and the special winning hole (■ zone) installed in the variable prize winning device 10.
Doll clothes opening/closing door 13 that increases the probability of winning the game ball to 103
Of these, the accessory control device 600 includes:
Since the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is operated on the condition that a game ball has won in the auxiliary variable winning device 50, the probability of winning the game ball in the V zone, that is, the probability of winning the jackpot, is increased by these operations. The probability of occurrence will be adjusted, and the interest in playing pachinko will be increased.

In addition, as described above, in this embodiment, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50
is installed at the lower center of the game board 3 (just below the variable winning device [10]), so when firing the game ball, the game board 3
It is relatively easy for the game ball to hit the prize no matter which side you aim at. Furthermore, in this case, the player can enjoy the game for a long time until the shot game ball reaches the bottom. Furthermore, since the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is installed below the variable winning device 10, a game ball that is likely to win in the variable winning device [10] will not end up winning in the auxiliary variable winning device 50.

In addition, in this embodiment, the large winning hole 5 is used as a specific winning hole for operating the auxiliary variable winning device 50, and the starting winning hole is installed on both sides of the lower side of the game board relatively from the center. Therefore, when a player shoots a game ball, he or she can aim at the starting prize opening as well as the specific winning opening.

In this embodiment, the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is installed at the lower center of the game board 3 (directly below the variable winning device 10), but the installation location is not limited to this. It may be installed at the general prize opening (8 holes) at 7°7. When installed in this way, as shown in FIG. 50, when the movable member 51.51 of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 5o is opened,
The game ball that hit the movable member 51.5 and was repelled to the outside is moved to the movable wing piece 101 of the variable prize winning device 10 in the open state.
．． 101 (as shown in the figure, the position of the auxiliary variable winning device is slightly higher than the position of the variable winning device), or conversely, as shown in FIG. Movable wing pieces 101, 101 of cold storage device 10
When the blade is released, it hits the movable wing pieces 101, 101 and the outside (
The positional relationship (the position of the variable winning device as shown in the figure) is such that the game ball flipped by the player (on the left side in the figure) is guided inside the movable members 51, 5 of the variable winning device 10 in the open state. It may be placed slightly higher than the position of the device.

Further, the auxiliary variable winning device 50 may be installed at the mounting position of the big winning opening 5 of this embodiment. In this case, variable winning device 1
It becomes possible to guide the game ball to the auxiliary variable winning device 50 side without being affected by the activation/inactivation of 0.

Furthermore, the attachment position of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 may be the attachment position of the starting winning openings 8, 8 of the game board 3, or the mounting position of the general winning openings 9, 9, etc.

Further, in this embodiment, the auxiliary variable winning device 5o is installed directly below the variable winning device 10 of the game board, but the device 50 is installed at the lower right side of the variable winning device 10, and the auxiliary variable winning device 5o is You may try to increase the base by hitting right-handed.

In addition, in this embodiment, as a second variable winning device, a variable winning device (first variable winning device) and an auxiliary variable winning device 50 having different opening widths are provided separately, but two variable winning devices are provided. The device may function as the first and second variable winning devices to reduce the cost of the gaming machine. In this case, when the variable winning device is used as the first variable winning device, the two movable wing pieces provided on the device are rotated together, and when the variable winning device is used as the second variable winning device, the two movable wing pieces are rotated together. Only one of the movable wings (left side) can be rotated to create two winning openings with different opening widths (when used as a second variable winning device, the special winning opening is not treated as a zone). . In addition, in the case of dual use in this way, in case the functions of both in the game overlap, ■ When the variable winning device is functioning as the first variable winning device, the function of the specific winning opening is stopped (the function of the second variable winning device is stopped). (Prohibits operation as a variable winning device), and stops the function of the starting winning opening when functioning as a second variable winning device (prohibits operation as a first variable winning device); ■ If a game ball enters the start winning slot while functioning as the second variable winning device, the function is forcibly switched to the first variable winning device.
When a game ball enters a specific winning hole while functioning as a variable winning device, it is more effective to forcibly switch to the function as a second variable winning device.

In addition, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10 of this embodiment has a pair of movable members 51.51, and when the movable members 51.51 are rotated outwardly so as to separate from each other, the game balls can be moved inside the movable members 51.51. Although it is designed to make it easier to win, the structure is not limited to this, and as the auxiliary variable winning device,
For example, a so-called "attacker type" machine that collects the fired game balls is housed inside the game board, and pushes the machine out to the front of the game board 3 to collect the game balls. A vertically elongated guide member is rotatably arranged at the top of the winning slot and on both the left and right sides of the winning slot, and this guide member is usually shaped like a "C" and when activated, it is rotated and placed in the opposite direction. The so-called "gate switching system" which is J-shaped and makes it easier to win with game balls, has guiding members installed on both the left and right sides of the winning opening and below it, and these guiding members are rotated upward. It is also possible to apply a so-called "guide member system" in which the two guide surfaces form an inverted "V" shape.

In addition, in this embodiment, the auxiliary variable prize winning device is
Although it is used as a condition device for opening and closing the i130, the auxiliary variable winning device may be used as a condition device for rotating the movable wing of the variable winning device.

Further, in this embodiment, the auxiliary variable winning device 5o determines that the result of the variable display game by the variable display game machine 52 is a "win".
In this case, the opening is performed only once during a predetermined period of time (0.8 sec), but the opening operation may be performed multiple times. If there is a limit on the opening time of the auxiliary variable prize winning device (for example, 6se
c), Within such limits, the opening operation may be performed in several parts (for example, 2 sec opening 3 times), or the opening operation may be completed in - times (6 sec opening 3 times). once)
.

As an example of performing the opening operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 5o in multiple steps as described above, ■ When operating the auxiliary variable winning device in the jackpot game state, the movable wing piece 101 of the variable winning device 10 , 101 opening operation (0,8se
It is more effective to perform the opening operation of the movable member 51.51 of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 in synchronization with the opening operation and the closing operation which are alternately repeated every c). in this case,
It is preferable to provide a predetermined time lag corresponding to the time required for the game ball to flow down between the auxiliary variable winning device 50 and the variable winning device 10 at the start timing of the opening operations of both.

When a time lag is provided in this way, when the game ball launched into the gaming area passes near the auxiliary variable winning device 50, the device 50 is opened, and when the game ball passes near the variable winning device 10, the device 10 is opened. The opening operation of both is performed efficiently.

Further, the timing for opening the auxiliary variable prize winning device W50 in the jackpot game state is considered to be during the jackpot wait state from the end of one cycle of continuous opening/closing operation to the transition to the next cycle. In this case, if a game ball enters a specific winning slot during one cycle of continuous opening/closing operation, it will be memorized, and after the cycle ends (after transitioning to the wait state), an auxiliary variable prize will be won. device 50
The system should be opened. As a result, a gaming state advantageous to the player is achieved by opening the auxiliary variable winning device during the wait time in the jackpot gaming state, so that the playing time can be used effectively.

When operating the auxiliary variable winning device 50 in this way, a time lag corresponding to the time during which the game ball flows from the variable winning device 10 to the auxiliary variable winning device 5o is set between the time when the operation of the variable winning device 1o ends and the auxiliary variable winning device 50. It is more effective if it is provided between the start timing of the operation.

In addition, when a game ball wins a prize in a specific winning slot while the gaming machine is in a jackpot gaming state, this fact (if there are multiple wins, the number) is memorized, and the jackpot gaming state is completely changed. The opening operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 may be performed after the completion of the winning operation.

In addition, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 5o of this embodiment operates for a predetermined period of time (
However, depending on the change in the gaming state, for example, when the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 is opened in the normal gaming state, the opening time is changed to 0.5 sec). It is possible to make various changes such as setting the open time to 6.0 seconds in the jackpot game state (so that in the jackpot game state there is a greater chance of winning prize balls).

In addition, as a condition for returning the changed operating time (65 sec) of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 to the normal operating time (0.8 sec), ■After the operating time is set to 6 sec,
The movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device win a predetermined number of times (1
0 times) when the ball is released, ■When a predetermined time (10 min) has elapsed after the operating time was set to 6 sec, ■When a predetermined number of game balls were fired after the operating time was set to 6 sec. , ■After the operating time is set to 6 seconds,
When there is a predetermined number of out balls, the operating time is 6 seconds.
Possible cases include when there are a predetermined number of safe balls after the ball is set to .

In addition, the opening time of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is changed depending on the game result of the variable display game, that is, the symbol displayed by the variable display game device is a specific symbol (for example, "3", "7").
For example, if the operating time is 0.8 seconds to 6 seconds,
It can be set by changing it to sec.

The operating time (65 ec) set in this way is the same as the above-mentioned conditions: ■ After being set to 6 sec, when the movable wing of the variable prize winning device is opened a predetermined number of times (10 times), ) has elapsed, ■ When a predetermined number of game balls have been fired, ■ When there are a predetermined number of out balls, ■
When there are a certain number of safe balls, etc., the normal operation time (Q
, 8 seconds).

Further, the opening time of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 of this embodiment may be changed in stages according to the game result of the variable display game of the auxiliary variable winning device 50. In this case, the operating time of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is set in accordance with the symbol displayed by the variable display game machine, for example, when the symbol is "1".
1 sec when ``2'', 2 sec when ``2'', ``
3 seconds when the number is 3, and 4 seconds when the number is 4. se
c, 5 sec when "5", 6 when "6"
It can be set as sec.

Further, in this embodiment, the variable display game is always played by the auxiliary variable winning device 50 on the condition that a game ball has won in the specific winning hole 5, and the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is operated based on the result. However, depending on the change in the gaming state of the gaming machine, winning of a game ball to a specific winning opening may be enabled/disabled. For example, in a normal gaming state, a prize ball is only ejected when a game ball enters the specified winning hole 5, and when the gaming machine is in a jackpot gaming state, a game ball enters the specified winning hole 5. On the condition that a prize has been won, a variable display game may be played, or the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 may be opened for a predetermined period of time (65ec). will be carried out). In this way, the specific winning opening 5 whose winning is determined to be effective in causing the variable display game to be played (or operating the auxiliary variable winning device) due to the occurrence of the jackpot gaming state is subject to the following conditions, for example. When this is established, it will again function as a general winning hole (a winning hole only for ejecting prize balls). That is, ■ When the jackpot gaming state occurs again after that, ■ When the movable wing of the variable winning device is opened a predetermined number of times after the function as a specific winning hole becomes effective, ■ The function as a specific winning hole becomes effective. After that, when a predetermined amount of time has elapsed, ■ After the function as a specific winning hole has become effective, and when a predetermined number of game balls have been fired, ■ After the function as a specific winning hole has become effective, When there is a predetermined number of out balls, ■When there is a predetermined number of safe balls after the function as a specific winning hole has become effective.

In addition, in this embodiment, the probability of "winning" in the variable display game executed by the variable display genim device, which is executed when a game ball enters the specific winning hole 5, is determined by a predetermined setting operation using the random number setting switch 690. After that, this value is fixed until the random number setting switch is operated again, but it is also possible to change the probability of occurrence according to the gaming state of the gaming machine. For example, in a normal gaming state, the probability of winning is set to a relatively small value (for example, 1/10), and when the gaming machine is in a jackpot gaming state, the probability of winning is set to a relatively large value. A possible method is to set the value to a value (for example, 1/3). As described above, the probability of winning once set to a large value (1/3) due to the occurrence of a jackpot is set to the original value (1/1 O) when, for example, the following conditions are met.

In other words, ■ When the jackpot gaming state occurs again after that, ■
When the movable wing of the variable prize winning device is opened a predetermined number of times after being set to a relatively large value (1/3), ■ When a predetermined time has elapsed after being set to the above large value, ■ The above large value After setting, when a predetermined number of game balls are fired,
(2) When there are a predetermined number of out balls after the above-mentioned large value is set; (2) When there are a predetermined number of safe balls after the above-mentioned large value is set.

In addition, in this embodiment, the auxiliary variable winning device 50 that is opened
On the condition that the game ball has won a prize in the ■zone, the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 is activated in order to increase the probability of winning a prize in the ■zone. However, methods for increasing the probability of winning a prize in the ■zone are not limited to this, for example, 1 by winning the game ball into the starting winning slot.
The variable winning device 10, which is rotated only once, may be rotated twice depending on a winning to the auxiliary variable winning device 50, thereby increasing the winning probability in the zone (2).

The opening of the prize device 50 may also be started.

In addition, the number of game balls that entered a specific winning slot when the gaming machine is in a jackpot gaming state is memorized, and assistance is provided only when the jackpot gaming state that is being carried out at that time does not reach the final cycle. The variable prize winning device 50 may be operated.

Further, the auxiliary variable winning device 50 of this embodiment is configured to close when a predetermined time (for example, 0.85 ec) has elapsed after being opened. For example, the game may be closed on the condition that one (1) game ball has won a prize.

In addition, the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 installed as a winning probability adjustment means in this embodiment can be slid in the left and right direction of the game board 3, so that when the opening/closing door 130 is opened, the game balls are gathered toward the center. The game ball flows down on the second flow guide shelf to increase the winning rate of the game ball to the V zone, but if the flow path of the game ball can be changed toward the V zone, The opening/closing door may be operated in any manner (such as changing the sliding direction up and down to change the flow path, or rotating it to change the flow path, etc.).

In addition, in this embodiment, the doll clothes opening/closing door 130 installed as a winning probability adjustment means collects the game balls flowing down toward the winning hole installation part 12 near the center (close to the ■ zone) and directs them to the ■ zone. Although we are trying to increase the winning probability, the winning probability adjustment means is not limited to this configuration.
If the probability of winning a prize in the zone can be adjusted, for example, the second flow guide shelf that forms the flow path for the game ball can be placed on the left and right sides.
It is made up of two pieces of board material, and normally it is shaped like an "H" shape, and the game balls are distributed on both the left and right sides of the winning hole installation part 121,
Various modifications can be considered, such as converting the ball into an inverted "H" shape to increase the winning rate so that the game balls are concentrated in the center so that it is easier to win a prize in the V zone.

In addition, in this embodiment, the winning probability adjusting means for adjusting the winning probability of the game ball entering the special winning opening (Zone) 103 is constituted by the doll clothes opening/closing door 130, which can increase the winning probability. If so, it is not limited to such a configuration, but for example, the left and right partition plates of the winning hole installation part forming the special winning hole (V zone) 103 can be configured to be slidable, and predetermined gaming conditions are satisfied. When the special winning hole is opened, the interval can be changed appropriately, or other winning holes (for example, the general winning holes 104, 104 provided on both sides of the special winning hole) can temporarily function as the special winning hole O (V zone). Alternatively, the number of V zones itself may be increased as appropriate.

In addition, in this embodiment, the doll clothes opening/closing door (winning probability adjustment means) 130 is opened on the condition that the game ball has won a prize in the auxiliary variable winning device 50, but the invention is not limited to this. Various conditions for opening the doll clothes opening/closing door 13o can be considered as follows.

In other words, the above conditions are as follows: When the game result of the variable display game device installed in the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is ``r'', ■ When a specific winning opening other than the auxiliary variable winning device 50 (for example, the Tenjin Prize) ) or when a game ball enters a specific gate, ■ When a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 100) are fired (regardless of whether or not there are winning balls in the auxiliary variable winning device), ■ When a game ball enters the game board 3. When the number of winning balls that have entered all the winning holes installed reaches a predetermined number (for example, 50), ■ When the number of out balls reaches a predetermined number, ■ A predetermined number of consecutively fired game balls are out. When it becomes a ball, ■Starting prize opening 8.8
When the number of winning game balls reaches a predetermined value, the following can be considered.

In addition, in this embodiment, the doll clothes opening/closing door (winning probability adjustment means) 130 is operated for a predetermined period of time from the time when the game ball first enters the starting winning openings 8, 8 after the opening/closing door] 30 is opened. Although it is designed to be closed when the doll clothes opening/closing door has elapsed, there are various possible conditions for closing the doll clothes opening/closing door, including the following, without being limited to this. That is, the above conditions are: ■ When a game ball enters the special winning slot (V zone) 103; ■ After the game ball actually enters the variable winning device] O (the first winning game ball enters the ten count switch 5
For a predetermined period of time (after being detected by W4A, 5W4B)

For example, various variations can be considered, such as making the general winning hole 7.7) a specific winning hole, or installing a detection gate dedicated to it. If the special prize opening is configured in the form of a gate, the prize balls will not be ejected even if the game ball passes through the gate, so in order to make it easier to play the variable display game, the game ball should be placed in a position where it is easy for the game ball to pass through. Even if this is installed, there are advantages such as not increasing the base of the game.

Specifically, the specific winning hole is the starting winning hole 8 of this embodiment,
8. The game ball channel in the upper part called "Hakama", or
A specific gate for detecting game balls may be provided in the game ball flow path directly above the starting winning holes 8, 8, and this may be used as a specific winning hole. Furthermore, the winning hole installed at the position called "sleeve" (in this embodiment, general winning devices 9, 9 called tulips are installed) may be used as a specific winning hole, or the winning hole may be set at this position as a specific winning hole. A specific gate having the role of It is also possible to use the general winning holes 7, 7 (R8 hole) of this embodiment as a specific winning hole, and in this case, the movable wing pieces 101° 101 of the variable winning device 10 are in the open state. When the movable wing piece 101.101 moves, the variable winning device 1
The game ball that was repelled to the outside of 0 is the general prize winning slot 7, 7.
By guiding the player in the direction, the probability of winning a prize in the winning hole increases, and the auxiliary variable winning device 50 becomes easier to operate.

In addition, in this embodiment, the winning openings 8, 8 on the lower side of the “hakama” are
Although this winning hole is used as the starting winning hole, this winning hole 8.8 may be used as a specific winning hole. In the case of 2, the above-mentioned entry prize holes 8, 8 may be made to have the function as the starting prize hole as is, or other general winning holes etc. may be used as the starting prize hole, or other positions on the game board 3 may be used. It is also possible to separately provide a gate as a starting winning hole to provide these two functions to separate winning holes.

Further, a specific winning opening or a gate in place of this may be attached to the mounting position of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 of this embodiment. In this case, the auxiliary variable winning device is attached to another position on the game board 3.

Further, the entire variable winning device 10 can also be used as a specific winning hole. In this case, ten count switch 5
Each time W4A and 5W4B are turned ON, it means that a game ball has won a prize in a specific winning hole, and accordingly, the variable display game by the variable display game device 52 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is repeatedly executed.

In addition, the specific winning hole can be installed in the winning hole installation part 121 in the variable winning device 10, and in this case, the special winning hole 103 and the specific winning hole are installed close to each other, so both of them can be installed. You will be able to aim at the same time. Also,
The special winning hole (V zone) 103 may also function as a specific winning hole. The winning of a game ball into this special winning opening (V zone) 103 is likely to occur when a jackpot gaming state is occurring, and when the gaming ball enters the special winning opening 103, the continuation condition of the jackpot gaming state is is established and the next cycle begins, the operation of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 (starting the variable display game, etc.) is performed at the time of transition from cycle to cycle in the jackpot game state, so that efficient gaming can be performed. It can be done.

Further, in this embodiment, an example is shown in which the starting winning slots 8, 8 are installed in the so-called "drop" position of the game board 3, but the starting winning openings 8, 8 are not limited to this, for example, the starting winning openings 8, 8 are installed directly below the variable winning device 10. You can add more by installing ports.

Furthermore, the starting prize opening can be installed at the Tenjin Prize 5 installed in the center of the game board, or at the mounting position of the general prize openings 7, 7, which are called "8 holes". .

In this way, by installing the starting prize opening in a position close to the center of the game board 3, it becomes easy to shoot the game balls at the center of the game board 3 and aim at them. The balls are further gathered near the variable winning device 10, and during a jackpot game state, the probability that these spilled balls will win inside the variable winning device 10 increases, and the game balls can be played more effectively.
