Next, in this embodiment, the special arrangement of the obstacle nails that affect the downward direction of the game ball will be explained. First, the placement of the nails in the left side area of the game area 2 is such that the game balls are placed in the ball inlet 211 of the variable display device 20, in the ball inlet 151 of the holding device 150 after passing through a specific gate 150A, and in the prize opening 9. It is a normal arrangement that allows for the inflow of water. On the other hand, the arrangement of the nails in the right side area of the gaming area 2 is such that the game balls can easily enter the special winning opening 8 and the big winning opening 53 of the variable winning device 50, and
The general winning hole 10, the starting winning hole 6, and the variable display device 20
The ball inlet 211 on the right shoulder is arranged so that it is difficult for game balls to flow into it.
That is, there is a special arrangement of obstacle nails. In order to enhance the effect of this special arrangement of obstacle nails, a buffer member 15 is arranged at the upper right of the game area 2. The buffer member 15 is made of a material having an extremely small elastic modulus, such as Nosolex (trade name), which makes it extremely difficult for the game ball to bounce back when the game ball is collided with the game ball fired by the game ball launcher. . In the buffer member 15, the collision surface 15a on which the game ball collides is located in the game area 2.
It is installed on the back side of a decorative plate 16 attached to the upper right side of the game area 2 so as to face the game area 2. When the player operates the game ball launcher so that the flight distance of the game ball is increased, the game ball flies along the inside of the guardrail 3 and collides with the buffer member 15. However, the kinetic energy of the game ball is absorbed by the buffer member 15, causing it to fall approximately vertically downward.

Next, to specifically explain the arrangement of the special obstacle nails, first, a group of downward direction regulating nails 17 are planted which allow the game balls that have fallen vertically to flow downward to the left by the buffer member 15. There is. This flow direction regulating nail group 1

In addition, in the game area 2 located diagonally above the right side of the variable winning device 50, there is a group of downward direction regulating nails 18a for ensuring that the game ball flows down toward the big winning opening 53 of the variable winning device 50.
, 18b, 18c, 18d, and 18e are respectively planted. In addition, at a position where the collision surface 15a of the buffer member 15 faces, there is a group of downward direction regulating nails for restricting the game balls that have collided with the collision surface 15a and bounced back a little from returning to the left side area of the game area 2. 19A is planted. Further, at a position adjacent to the upper right side of the variable display device 20, there is an inflow blocking obstruction nail group 14 that prevents balls from flowing into the ball inflow port 211 on the right shoulder of the variable display device 20. At an intermediate position between the variable display device 2 and the variable display device 2, there is a flow-preventing obstacle nail group 14A that prevents the game balls from flowing into the general winning hole 10.
The ball guide member 315 is located at a position adjacent to the lower right side of 0.
There is an inflow blocking obstacle nail group 19 that prevents the balls from flowing in the direction, and ball guide pieces 10a, 10a are arranged above the general winning hole 10 so as not to prevent the balls from flowing into the general winning hole 10. It is set up in the shape of ``. The inflow blocking obstacle nail group 14
, the flow-preventing obstacle nail group 14A, and the inflow-preventing obstacle nail group 19 block the game balls flowing into the right area of the game area 2 from the special prize opening 8.
In addition to effectively allowing the player to win a prize in the large winning hole 53 of the variable winning device 50, the ball is also regulated so that the number of prize balls does not exceed the number of out balls depending on the ball being hit to the right in normal times.

As shown in FIG. 5 as a back view, the game board is provided with through holes 1A to 1L. Through hole 1A
is the variable display device 20, and the through hole 1B is the variable prize winning device 50.
The through hole 1C has the reservation device 150, the through hole 1D has the special prize opening 8, the through hole 1G has the general prize opening 10, the through holes 1E, 1
I is the starting prize opening 5, 6, the through hole 1F is the normal electric accessory 7
0 and the through hole 1H are provided for attaching the general prize opening 9, respectively. Further, the through holes 1J and 1L are provided for attaching variable display lamps L4 and L4, respectively, and the through hole 1K is provided in communication with the out ball recovery port 12. The winning balls that flow into the top prize opening 27 on the front side of the game board and reach the back side of the game board via the through hole 1A are passed through the winning ball guide gutter 1a protruding from the back side of the game board.
1b and 1h, they are flown down in the direction shown by the dotted line arrows, collected, and sent to the winning ball processing device 850 (to be described later).
Figure 22).

[0020] Also, the winning balls that flowed into the starting prize opening 4 provided in the normal electric accessory 70 and reached the back side of the game board via the through hole 1F, and the winning balls provided directly below the variable display device 20. At the lower end of a collection guide gutter 1i, which collects winning balls that have flowed into the starting prize opening 5 and reached the back side of the game board via the through hole 1E and guides them downward, there is a collection guide gutter 1i that collects and guides the winning balls that flow down the collection guide gutter 1i. A starting winning detection switch SW1 is installed to detect the winning.

[0021] Also, it flows into the special prize opening 8 and enters the through hole 1.
The winning balls that have reached the back side of the game board via D flow down the downflow gutter 1L, flow into the general prize opening 10, and are collected with the winning balls that have reached the back side of the game board via the through hole 1G. Flowing down the guide gutter 1n, the winning ball processing device 850 (FIG. 22) described below
It is designed to be guided by A starting winning detection switch SW2 is provided on the back side of the starting winning opening 6 to detect the game ball that has flowed into the starting winning opening 6, and the gaming ball that has passed through the starting winning detection switch SW2 is detected by its lower end. A gutter leads them to a winning ball processing device 850 (FIG. 22), which will be described later.

[0022] Also, on the back side of the variable winning device 50 facing the back side of the through hole 1B, there is a continuous winning switch SW3 that detects the winning balls that have flowed into the continuous winning hole 54 in the big winning hole 53, and a winning switch in the big winning hole 53. Winning number detection switches SW4 and SW5 are provided to detect winning balls that have flowed into the openings 55 and 56. The continuous winning switch SW3 also has a function as a winning number detection switch that detects the winning balls that have flowed into the big winning opening 53.

The main parts of this pachinko game machine according to the invention are generally configured as described above, except for the control system described later, and are controlled by the control means such as a microcomputer installed in the pachinko game machine as follows. It works.

When electricity is supplied to the pachinko game machine by operating a power switch (not shown), first "J" appears on the left symbol display section 22 of the variable display section 21 of the variable display device 20, and "J" appears on the middle symbol display section 23. "Q" is displayed on the right symbol display section 24, and "K" is displayed on the right symbol display section 24, and any symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display section 100a. The memory number display lamp L provided in the variable display device 20 serves as a display indicating the normal playing state (usual state) of the variable display game.
ED1 to ED4 start lighting alternately from the inside to the outside and from the outside to the inside. Further, the decorative lamp LED5 and the decorative lamp LED7 are each put into a blinking display state.

During the normal game, the player aims at the left end nail 27a of the top five nails, which is the most advantageous, and drives the game ball into the left side area of the game area 2 using the ball launcher. The game ball hit left in this way is displayed on the variable display device 2.
When the game ball passes through the gap between the nails planted adjacent to the upper left edge of the game ball and flows into the ball inlet 211, the game ball flows into the ball guide path 214 of the variable display device 20 and the ball guide path 214 of the variable display device 20. Being guided by the guiding member 315 increases the possibility of winning a prize in the starting prize opening 5 (details will be described later).

[0026] When a game ball that does not flow into the ball inflow port 211 and flows down as it is passes through a specific gate 150A, its passage is detected by the normal symbol switch SW6 provided in the specific gate 150A. . Note that the game balls that have passed through the specific gate 150A flow into the ball inlet 151 of the holding device 150 and enter the ball inlet 151 of the holding device 150.
A predetermined number of data are retained within the .

Based on the detection of the normal symbol switch SW6, the symbols on the normal symbol display section 100a of the normal symbol display device 100 start changing. Note that the number of winnings that have been won at the specific gate 150A and for which the normal symbol variable display game has not yet been played is displayed as the number of lights on the memory display section 100b. This normal symbol variable display game is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0.
0 symbols are circulated in this order at a speed that cannot be followed by the eye. And normal symbol display section 100a
After a predetermined period of time has passed since the start of fluctuation or after a stop button (not shown) is pressed, the normal symbol display section 100
a stops its fluctuation. When the normal symbol display section 100a stops, it is determined whether the stopped symbol is a hit or not. For example, if the stopped symbol is "3" or "7", it is determined to be a hit.

As a result of the determination, if the stopped symbol is a winning symbol, the movable part 710 of the normal electric accessory 70
is rotated in an inverted "C" shape to be in an open state, and the game ball is converted into a state in which it is easy to win a prize in the starting prize opening 4. At this stage, when the player presses the hold release SW (not shown), the game balls held in the holding device 150 flow out from the ball outlet 152, and the game balls enter the pair of movable parts 710 and the starting prize opening 4. and the guide piece 72 that guides the flow path. The game balls held in the holding device 150 are ensured to flow into the starting prize opening 4. The game balls that have won in the starting prize opening 4 will be detected by the starting winning detection switch SW1 installed in the internal path, and the number of stored game balls LE of the variable display device 20 will be detected.
D1 to D4 are lit up by the number of winnings. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the winning number memory display lamp LED1~
One of the four lit lights is turned off, and the variable display game by the variable display device 20 is started.

In this variable display game, three of the variable display sections 21
A game of fluctuating symbol display in which the symbol displays of the playing cards in the three symbol display sections 22, 23, and 24 are varied so that they are each independently turned over one after another, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the fluctuation is stopped when the playing cards have been flipped over. It is carried out as For example, first, the left symbol display section 22 of the variable display section 21 changes slowly up to one rotation of the stopped symbols before the start of the game so as to notify the player of the start of the game. For example, if the symbol before the start of the game is "1", the symbol changes from "1" to "2" as the cards are turned over. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the card display portion 22a of the first layer pattern 25 is completely turned over and "1" is displayed. Then the second
The back card display section 22b of the layer pattern 26 is displayed as a back view of the card that is about to be turned over, then the front card display section 22c is displayed as a front view of the card that has been turned over halfway, and finally the card display section 22a is displayed as a front view of the card that is being turned over. A completely flipped-up "2" will be displayed. In this way, a fluctuation cycle is formed in which the card display section, back card display section, front card display section, and card display section are displayed in this order,
As the cards are turned over one after another, the symbols change from "1" to "2".
", "2" to "3", "3" to "4", ..., "A
” to “P” and from “P” to “1”. The speed of variation of the symbols is slow at the beginning and becomes high from the middle (for example, the third turn).

[0030] After a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the left symbol display section 22 started changing, the symbols on the middle symbol display section 23 are changed in the same way as the symbols on the left symbol display section 22 are turned over. . After a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the start of the fluctuation of the middle symbol display section 24, the fluctuation of the symbol of the right symbol display section 24 is started. Similar to the fluctuations of the left symbol display section 22 and the middle symbol display section 23, the variations in the symbols on the right symbol display section 24 are also carried out in the same way as the playing cards are turned over. During this variable display game, in addition to the decorative lamps LED5 and LED7 that were activated during the normal game, the variable display lamps L3 and L4 each start blinking.

[0031] Then, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the left symbol display section 22 started changing, or after a stop button (not shown) is pressed, the left symbol display section 22 first stops its variation. The manner in which the fluctuation stops is such that the fluctuation becomes gradual from a symbol some time before the stop (for example, two symbols before) and then is stopped. For example, if the stop symbol is "0", the symbol two before "0" is "
The fluctuation before "8" is displayed is a fast cycle, and after "8" is displayed, the fluctuation is a slow cycle. Then, "0" is displayed on the card display section 22a and the left symbol display section 22a is displayed.
fluctuations stop. After the left symbol display section 22 stops,
The variation of the symbols in the middle symbol display section 23 is stopped in the same manner as the variation stop mode of the left symbol display section 22.

[0032] When the fluctuation of the symbols on the middle symbol display section 23 stops, if the stopped symbols on the middle symbol display section 23 do not match the stopped symbols on the left symbol display section 24 (there is a possibility that a special game will occur) If the middle symbol is not in a certain reach state), immediately after the middle symbol is stopped, the symbol fluctuation of the right symbol display section 24 is stopped in the same way as the left symbol and the middle symbol are stopped. And each lamp (LED5, L
ED7, L3, L4) are turned off, and a failure is displayed. But if they match (if they are in reach state)
, the display on the right symbol display section 24 fluctuates at a slow speed (for example, 420 msec per fluctuation cycle) and then stops. Note that when the game reaches reach, the decorative lamp LED 6 and the winning display lamp 10 are also displayed blinking. When the variable display game is in a winning mode when the right symbols stop, for example, when all three symbols match at the time of stopping, it becomes a "jackpot" and a jackpot game (special game) is performed.

Here, the "jackpot" game (special game) is a game mode that gives the player a chance to win many prize balls, and in the case of this embodiment, the door 51 of the variable prize winning device 50
One cycle (for example, 29 seconds) of opening the
However, before the predetermined time elapses, the variable prize winning device 50
When a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 10) enter the big prize opening 53, the opening up to that point is one cycle).
Then, during each cycle, the big winning hole 53 of the variable winning device 50
The continuation condition (
As the cycle update condition), for example, the update is performed continuously up to a maximum of 16 cycles.

By the way, during the special game of the variable display game, since the nails on the right side of the game area 2 are specially arranged as described above, it is advantageous for the player to hit the ball to the right. That is, if the player operates the firing device so that the game ball collides with the buffer member 15 along the inside of the guardrail 3, the fired game ball collides with the buffer member 15 inelastically and is thrown almost vertically. falls down the gaming area 2 and is guided to the special prize opening 8 while being regulated in the downward direction by the downward direction regulating nail groups 17, 19A, etc., or is further guided to the special winning opening 8 by the downward direction regulating nail groups 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d, 18d. etc., while being guided into the big prize opening 53 of the variable prize winning device 50, while the downstream direction is regulated. This right-handed hitting allows many game balls to enter the big winning hole 53 or the special winning hole 8 efficiently in a short time, and as a result, the number of balls hit is subtracted from the number of winning balls. The number of acquired balls remaining in hand increases.

In the first cycle of the special game, the door 51 of the variable prize winning device 50 remains open for a predetermined period of time (for example, 2
9 seconds) or before the predetermined time elapses, a predetermined number of game balls (
For example, when 10 prizes are won, the door 51 is closed at that point. If a game ball enters the continuation winning slot 54 during the special game of the first cycle, the special game of the second cycle is performed after a predetermined interval,
Special games can be played up to 16 times.

The continuation winning detection switch SW3 that detects the winning ball is the continuation control means 412.
Then, the winning number detection switches SW4 and SW5, which detect the winning balls entering the big winning opening 53, are connected to the entered prize number counting means 4, respectively.
11 respectively. Further, a solenoid SOLA and a winning display lamp L5 are connected to the variable winning device control means 410, and the winning number counting means 411
A decorative LED 7 is connected to the continuation control means 412, and a continuation display lamp L1 is connected to the continuation control means 412.

On the other hand, the control system for performing the normal symbol variable display game includes a specific winning storage means 413 for storing that the game ball has entered a specific gate 150A based on a signal from the normal symbol switch SW6, and a specific winning storage means 413 for storing the fact that the game ball has entered a specific gate 150A based on the signal from the normal symbol switch SW6. Based on the signal from the means 413, the memory display section 100b is turned on, and the random number means 41 determines the stop display mode of the normal symbol display section 100a and generates the probability of winning.
4, a random number selection means 416 that selects a display symbol of the normal symbol display section 100a based on the random number of the random number means 414, and a timing of operation of the normal symbol display device 100 based on a signal from the specific winning storage means 413. , the normal symbol determining means 417 and the random number selecting means 4.
a normal symbol display operation timing control means 418 that controls the timing of each of the 16 operations; and a normal symbol display control that controls the variable display of the ordinary symbol display section 100a based on the signal from the normal symbol display operation timing control means 418. means 419, and based on the signal from the normal symbol display control means 419 and the signal from the random number selection means 416, the display symbol determined by the random number selected by the random number selection means 416 and the normal symbol display section 100a are changed. a symbol comparing means 420 that compares the symbol with the symbol currently displayed and outputs the result to the normal symbol display operation timing control means 418;
and a normal symbol determining means 417 which determines whether or not the stop symbol of the normal symbol display section 100a is a hit based on a signal from the normal symbol display control means 419, and SOLB based on the signal from the normal symbol determining means 417. It is equipped with a normal electric accessory control means 422 for controlling.

[0079] A normal symbol switch SW6 for detecting a winning ball entering the specific gate 150A is connected to the specific winning storage means 413. Further, the normal symbol display section 100a is connected to the ordinary symbol display control means 419, and the SOLB and the ordinary electric accessory display lamp L7 are connected to the ordinary electric accessory control means 422, respectively.

Next, among the various controls performed based on the control system configured as described above, the control related to the normal symbol variable display game from when the game ball passes through a specific gate 150A until a "hit" occurs. The control and the control related to the variable display game from the time a game ball enters the starting winning hole 4 provided in the normal electric accessory 70 until the occurrence of a "jackpot" will be explained in detail.

In the control system with the above configuration, when the power is turned on and the gaming machine enters the normal operating state,
An arbitrary symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display section 100a, and an initial symbol is displayed on the variable display section 21 of the variable display device 20, such as "J" on the left symbol display section 22 and "J" on the middle symbol display section 23. "Q" is displayed on the right symbol display section 24, and "K" is displayed on the right symbol display section 24, respectively. In this state, as a result of the player hitting the game ball to the left so as to cause it to flow into the left area of the game area 2, if the game ball passes through a specific gate 150A, its passage is detected by the normal symbol switch SW6. Then, the normal symbol variable display game is performed under the following control.

First, a detection signal from the normal symbol switch SW6 is sent to the specific winning storage means 413, and the specific winning storage means 413 adds up the number of winning balls that have won a specific gate 150A based on the detection signal. Then, the added value is stored within a predetermined limit (for example, the maximum value "4"). The addition value stored in this way is inputted with the game start signal sent from the normal symbol display operation timing control means 418 (this signal is generated every time the normal symbol variable display game is played). A signal representing the subtracted value (subtraction value signal) is sent to the operation timing control means 418, and the normal symbol variable display game is repeated until the subtraction value becomes "0". . The specific winning storage unit 413 outputs a winning storage signal to the random number selection unit 416, and also outputs a winning storage signal to the storage display unit 100b, and based on the winning storage signal, one of the storage display units 100b Two LEs
D lights up.

[0083] The random number means 414 picks up a random number from the random number means 414 every time the signal from the specific winning storage means 413 (winning storage signal) is input, and stores it in the winning storage signal from the specific winning storage means 413. The random numbers are stored in association with each other.

The normal symbol display operation timing control means 418 which receives the subtraction value signal from the specific winning storage means 413 sends a game start control signal to the normal symbol display control means 419. And the normal symbol display control means 4
19 sends a variable start signal to the normal symbol display section 100a, and based on the variable start signal, the normal symbol display section 100
The display of a starts to fluctuate. The normal symbol display section 100
When a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the symbol a started to fluctuate, the normal symbol display operation timing control means 418 outputs a timing signal to the random number selection means 416. Then, based on the timing signal, the random number selection means 41
6 determines a display symbol based on a random number stored in correspondence with the entered prize storage signal.

When the random number selection means 416 outputs a display symbol signal to the symbol comparison means 420, the symbol comparison means 420 compares the display symbol signal with the normal symbol display section 100a.
The stopped symbols and the variable symbols are compared based on a variable symbol signal from the normal symbol display control means 419 which controls the variation of the symbols. Based on the comparison result, the symbol comparison means 420 determines the number of frames to be sent up to the displayed symbol, and outputs a number of frames to be transferred signal to the normal symbol display operation timing control means 418. The normal symbol display operation timing control means 41
8 outputs a control signal to the normal symbol display control means 419 in order to stop the fluctuating symbols based on the feed frame number signal at the displayed symbol.

Then, based on the control signal, the normal symbol display control means 419 outputs a variable stop signal to the normal symbol display section 100a in order to stop the fluctuating symbol at the displayed symbol, and based on the variable stop signal, The normal symbol variable display section 100a stops at the displayed symbol. The normal symbol display control means 419 also sends the control signal to the normal symbol determining means 417.

Normal symbol determining means 4 based on the control signal
17 is the normal symbol display operation timing control means 418
At the time when a determination request signal is input from , it is determined whether the stopped symbol is a hit or not. As a result of this determination, if it is a hit, the normal symbol determining means 417 sends a winning signal to the normal electric accessory control means 422. The normal electric accessory control means 422 controls the solenoid SOLB based on the hit signal.
sends a solenoid signal to
It is controlled to open state in a letter shape.

At this point, when the player turns on the hold release SW, the game balls held in the holding device 150 flow out from the ball outlet 152 and enter the starting prize opening 4 provided in the normal electric accessory 70. I will do it. On the other hand, the normal symbol determination means 417 sends a determination end signal to the ordinary symbol display operation timing control means 418. Then, the normal electric accessory control means 422 sends a game end signal to the normal symbol display operation timing control means 418 when the movable part 710 is converted to the closed state after a predetermined period of time has elapsed. The normal symbol display operation timing control means 418 is adapted to control the normal symbol display device 100 in order to start the next normal symbol variable display game based on the game end signal.

[0089] When a game ball enters the starting prize opening 4,
The winning is detected by the starting winning detection switch SW1, and the starting detection signal of the winning is sent to the winning storing means 401. The entered prize storage means 401 stores an added value (
The total number) is calculated, and the added value is stored within a predetermined limit (for example, with the maximum value as "4"). The addition value stored in this way is determined by the game start signal sent from the operation timing control means 402 (the signal is transmitted from the variable display game to
1 is subtracted each time the subtracted value is input, and a signal representing the subtracted value is sent to the operation timing control means 402 and displayed variably until the subtracted value reaches "0". The game is played repeatedly. Based on the subtraction value signal, the operation timing control means 402 first outputs a variable start signal to the variable timing variable means 403.

[0090] Upon receiving the variable start signal, the variation timing variable means 403 sends a variation signal to the variable display control means 406 to vary the stop symbol before the start of the game and the next symbol in a variation cycle of 280 msec. The variable display control means 406 outputs a display control command signal to the left symbol display section 22 based on the fluctuation signal. As a result, the left symbol display section 22 of the variable display section 21 changes only the first two symbols at a cycle of 280 msec from the start of the variation. Then, the fluctuation timing variable means 403 first changes the fluctuation timing of the symbol to 180 when the third symbol is displayed from the start of fluctuation.
A fluctuation signal is output to the variable display control means 406 so as to change the fluctuation cycle to m seconds. Then, the variable display control means 406 outputs a display control command signal to the left symbol display section 22 based on the fluctuation signal, and changes the symbols after the first two symbols in a 180 msec cycle based on the display control command signal. become.

[0091] When a predetermined time has elapsed after the left symbol display section 22 started to fluctuate, the operation timing control means 402 sends a variable start signal to the fluctuation timing variable means 404. Then, in the same way as the control for the left symbol display section 22, the variable display control means 407 that receives the variable start signal starts changing only the first two symbols of the middle symbol display section 23 in a 280 msec cycle. Thereafter, based on the fluctuation signal from the fluctuation timing variable means 404, the medium symbol display section 23 continues to fluctuate in a 180 msec cycle. When a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the medium symbol display section 23 started changing, the operation timing control means 402 controls the fluctuation timing variable means 405.
sends a variable start signal to Then, similarly to the control for the left symbol display section 22, the variable display control means 408 which receives the variable start signal controls the first two symbols on the right symbol display section 24.
Only the symbol starts to fluctuate in a 280 msec cycle. Thereafter, the variable display control means 408 controls the right symbol display section 24 based on the fluctuation signal from the fluctuation timing variable means 405.
The fluctuation will continue in a 180 msec cycle. Then, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the left symbol display section 22 started changing (about 4000 msec in this embodiment)
, the operation timing control means 402 outputs a variable stop signal to the variable timing variable means 403.

Upon receiving the signal, the fluctuation timing variable means 403 controls the left symbol display section 22, which is fluctuating in a 180 msec cycle, so that the two symbols immediately before the stop symbol fluctuate in a 280 msec cycle. A fluctuation stop signal is output to means 406. Based on the fluctuation stop signal, the variable display control means 406 outputs a display stop command signal to the left symbol display section 22, so that after the two symbols immediately before the stopped symbol have fluctuated in a 280 msec cycle, the left symbol means 2
2 stops the fluctuation and displays the stop symbol. Next, after a predetermined period of time has passed since the left symbol stopped fluctuating (
In this embodiment, after about 1100 msec), when the operation timing control means 402 outputs a variable stop signal to the variable timing variable means 404, the variable timing variable means 404 controls the variable display in the same manner as the control for the left symbol display section 22. A fluctuation stop signal is output to the control means 407. As a result, the fluctuation cycle changes from 180 msec to 280 msec, and the medium symbol means 23 stops its fluctuation and displays a stopped symbol.

During this time, when the symbol display section 23 stops changing, the variable display control means 406 sends a signal to the determination means 409.
A stop symbol signal is output from the variable display control means 407 to the determination means 409, respectively. At the same time, the operation timing control means 402 outputs a determination request signal to the determination means 409. Based on the determination request signal, the determining means 409 determines whether there is a possibility of occurrence of a jackpot, that is, whether or not there is a reach state. When the determining means 409 determines that it is not a reach, it sends a determination signal to the operation timing controlling means 402. Then, the operation timing control means 402 sends a variable stop signal to the fluctuation timing variable means 405. When the fluctuation stop timing variable means 405 receiving the signal outputs a fluctuation stop signal to the variable display control means 408, the variable display control means 408 outputs a display stop signal to the right symbol display section 24 based on the fluctuation stop signal. do. As a result, a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the medium symbol display section 23 stopped (in this embodiment, 11
After 20 msec has elapsed), the right symbol display section 24, which was fluctuating in a 180 msec cycle, is changed to fluctuating in a 280 msec cycle. Then, after the two symbols immediately before the stopped symbol fluctuate in a 280 msec cycle, the right symbol display section 24 stops and displays the stopped symbol.

On the other hand, the determination means 409 is in a "reach state"
When it is determined that there is a reach, a reach determination signal is sent to the operation timing control means 402. Then, the operation timing control means 402 sends a reach variable stop signal to the variable timing variable means 405. Upon receiving the signal, the fluctuation timing variable means 405 first controls the variable display control means 40.
8, a fluctuation signal is outputted to change the fluctuation cycle from a 180 msec cycle to a 280 msec cycle. Next, a fluctuation signal is output to the variable display control means 408 so that the symbol changes at a cycle of 420 msec from a symbol 3 to 4 frames before the stopped symbol. As a result, after the middle symbol stops, until a predetermined time elapses (in this example, from 3080 msec to 11 msec)
760 msec), the right symbol display section 24 fluctuates in a 280 msec cycle, then fluctuates in a 420 msec cycle and stops at the stop symbol.

At this stage, the variable display control means 408 sends a stop symbol signal for the right symbol display section 24 to the determination means 409, and the variable display control means 406 sends a stop symbol signal for the right symbol display section 24 to the determination means 409.
The stop symbol signal of 2 is sent to the determining means 409, and the variable display control means 407 further sends the stop symbol signal of the medium symbol display section 23 to the determining means 409. At the same time, the operation timing control means 402 outputs a jackpot determination request signal to the determination means 409. Based on the jackpot determination request signal, the determination means 409 determines whether each display section 2 of the variable display section 21
It is determined whether or not the respective stopped symbols 2, 23, and 24 match, that is, whether or not it is a jackpot.

If the result of the above judgment is a jackpot, the judgment means 409 transmits the jackpot signal to the variable prize winning device control means 4.
10, and also outputs a jackpot signal to the operation timing control means 402. As a result, the operation timing control means 402 is controlled by the variable prize winning device control means 41.
Various signals are sent to 0 to control special games. In the variable display game, when the operation timing control means 402 outputs a lamp signal to the variable winning device control means 410 at the stage of entering the special game, the variable winning device control means 410 sends a display signal to the winning display lamp L5,
The hit lamp L5 blinks. Further, the operation timing control means 402 controls the variable prize winning device control means 41 when the interval before the first cycle of the special game has elapsed.
Outputs an operation control signal to 0. As a result, the variable prize winning device control means 410 outputs an attacker signal to the solenoid SOLA based on the operation control signal, and the door 51 rotates based on the signal and the big prize opening 53 is opened.

[0097] When the big prize opening 53 is opened in this way and the special game of the first cycle is started, the player hits the game ball right so that it collides with the buffer member 15. And the nail groups 17, 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d,
When the game ball flowing down along each nail group 18e wins in either of the entry prize holes 55 and 56 in the big prize hole 53,
The winnings are detected by winning number detection switches SW4 and SW5. And the winning number detection switch SW4,S
A winning detection signal is sent from W5 to the winning number counting means 411. Further, when the game ball enters the continuous winning a prize opening 54, the winning is detected by the continuous winning detection switch SW3. Then, a continuation win detection signal is sent from the continuation win detection switch SW3 to the continuation control means 412. In addition,
The continuous winning detection switch SW3 also has the role of a winning number detection switch, and the continuous winning detection signal is also sent to the entered winning number counting means 411. Then, the continuation control means 412 sends a display signal to the continuation display lamp L1 based on the continuation winning detection signal, and causes the lamp to blink. At the same time, the continuation control means 412 sends a continuation control signal to the variable winning device control means 410, and based on the continuation control signal, the variable winning device control means 410 controls the continuous special game.

Specifically, the variable prize winning device control means 41
0 means that the number of winnings from the entered prize number counting means 411 is 10.
In order to close the big prize opening 53, the solenoid S
Outputs a closing signal to OLA. In this way, the special game of the first cycle ends.

On the premise that the continuous control signal is input to the variable winning device control means 410, after a predetermined time interval has elapsed until the big winning opening 53 is opened again, the opening signal of the next cycle is input to the solenoid SOLA. is now output.

[0100] In this way, in the special game, the above-mentioned series of controls are repeated up to a predetermined cycle (for example, 16 cycles) on the condition that the game ball enters the continuous winning hole 54 in the variable winning device. . Then, at the time of the final cycle, a continuation end signal indicating that it is the final cycle is sent from the continuation control means 412 to the variable prize winning device control means 410. Based on the continuation end signal, the variable prize winning device control means 410 sends a solenoid signal to the solenoid SOLA, and based on the solenoid signal, the solenoid SOLA is turned off, the door 51 is closed, and the special game ends.

When electricity is supplied to the microcomputer 610 from the microcomputer 610, a display command signal is sent from the microcomputer 610 to the variable display device 20 via the driver 652, and the variable display device 20 displays each pattern created by the liquid crystal display panel 340. The initial symbols are displayed on the display sections 22, 23, and 24 in a stopped state. Similarly, the initial symbol is also displayed on the ordinary symbol display section 100a of the ordinary symbol display device 100. Further, a display command signal indicating the normal gaming state from the microcomputer 610 is sent to the driver 652, and the winning number memory display lamps LEDs 1 to 4 are moved from the inside to the outside and from the outside to the inside as a normal game state display representing the normal game state. At the same time, the decorative lamp LED5 and the decorative lamp LED7 are made to blink alternately. Furthermore, a rotation command signal is sent from the microcomputer 610 to the driver 652 to rotate the ball guiding member motor 315. Note that the random numbers in the random number table in the ROM 620 are constantly generated in an updated state every time the frequency division signal from the frequency divider 644 rises and is input to the reset terminal RST.

When a game is played in this state and the game ball passes through a specific gate 150A, its passage is detected by the normal symbol switch SW6, and the detection signal is processed by the waveform shaping circuit 651, and then the microcomputer 610 is input, and control of the normal symbol variable display game is started. The random numbers generated from the ROM 620 when inputted to the microcomputer 610 are picked up and stored in the RAM 630 in order.

In this embodiment, the maximum number of random numbers stored in the RAM 630 is five, including those during the execution of the normal symbol variable display game. Then, the memory display portions 100b corresponding to the number of stored random numbers obtained by subtracting one of the stored random numbers for which the normal symbol variable display game is being executed are lit. Then, based on the random number first stored in the RAM 630, the variable display of the normal symbol display section 100a is changed. Each time the variable display starts changing, one of the four LEDs of the storage display section 100b that is lit is turned off. Then, based on the game start command signal from the microcomputer 610, the symbols "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7" on the normal symbol display section 100a are displayed.
, 8, 9, 0'' fluctuate at a speed that cannot be followed by the naked eye, and stops at the displayed symbol when a predetermined time elapses or a stop button (not shown) is pressed.

[0108] The display pattern is the microcomputer 61
0 determines whether it is a hit or not. When it is determined that it is a hit, a control command signal from the microcomputer 610 is sent to the solenoid SOLB of the normal electric accessory 70.
is energized, and the movable part 710 is converted to the open state. In this case, the microcomputer 610 is configured to send a control command signal to the solenoid SOLB of the normal electric accessory 70 to maintain the open state of the movable part 710 for a predetermined period of time. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the microcomputer 610 sends a control command signal to the solenoid S to close the movable part 710.
Send to OLB. As a result, the movable part 710 is brought into a closed state, and the normal symbol variable display game ends.

[0109] If the player presses the hold release SW while the movable part 710 is converted to the open state, the hold device 150
The game balls that have been held from then on flow into the starting prize opening 4, the winning is detected by the starting winning detection switch SW1, and the variable display game is started. Each time a prize is won, the start winning detection switch SW1 is turned on, and the on signal is processed by the waveform shaping circuit 651, and then input to the microcomputer 610 and stored in the ROM 6 at the time of input.
Pick up the random number generated from 20 and put that random number in RAM
630 in order. In this embodiment, the maximum number of random numbers stored in the RAM 630 is five, including those during execution of the variable display game. Then, among the stored random numbers, the winning number storage display lamps LED 1 to 4 correspond to the number of stored random numbers obtained by subtracting one of the stored random numbers that are currently being displayed in the variable display game.
is lit. Then, based on the random number first stored in the RAM 630, the variable display of each display section of the left symbol display section 22, middle symbol display section 23, and right symbol display section 24 is changed. Each time the variable display starts to change, one of the lit winning memory number display lamps LED1 to LED4 is turned off.

[0110] The variable display game is divided into a normal variable display game that cannot generate a jackpot (no reach state occurs) and a reach game that can generate a jackpot (a reach state occurs), depending on the random numbers with which the game is played. Divided into variable display games. When it is a normal variable display game, the card display sections 22a, 23a, 24a, the back card display sections 22b, 23b, 24b, the front card display section 2
In the display order of 2c, 23c, 24c, the pattern "1" on each display section
,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,J,Q,K,
A, P'' are varied randomly, and whether a predetermined period of time has elapsed,
Or, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed after a stop button (not shown) is pressed, the left symbol, middle symbol, and right symbol are stopped in this order, and the stopped symbols are determined.

During this variable display game, based on a display command from the microcomputer 610, the decorative lamp LED5, the decorative lamp LED7, the variable display lamp L3, and the variable display lamp L4 are blinked to indicate that the symbol is changing.

On the other hand, when the stop symbols on the left symbol display section 22 and the stop symbols on the middle symbol display section 23 are aligned and there is a possibility of a jackpot (when it becomes a reach state), the stop symbols on the right symbol display section 24 will be displayed. Change the display at a slow speed. In this reach state, especially the microcomputer 6
Based on the command from 10, in addition to each display lamp in the variable display game, the decorative LED 6 and the winning lamp L10 start blinking as a reach indication.

[0113] When the display of each of the left symbol display section 22, middle symbol display section 23, and right symbol display section 24 is stopped, the mode of the stopped symbol is changed to the microcomputer 61.
0 determines whether it is a hit or not. When it is determined that the result is a loss, the microcomputer 61
Based on the display command from 0, each lamp is turned off as a loss indication. When the mode of the above-mentioned stop symbols accidentally becomes a jackpot mode (for example, Q, Q, Q), that is, when the microcomputer 610 determines that it is a "jackpot", the display command from the microcomputer 610 Based on this, the following step-by-step jackpot display is performed from the time when it is determined that a jackpot has occurred until the end of the jackpot game (special game). That is, from the time when it is determined that the jackpot has occurred until the jackpot game starts (when the jackpot 53 is first opened), each lamp (L
1 to 7, LEDs 1 to 4, and LEDs 5 to 7) are converted to a blinking state. Also, based on display commands from the microcomputer 610, each display section 2 of the variable display section 21
First, the symbols 2, 23, and 24 that caused the jackpot are flashed. And microcomputer 610
Based on the opening command signal from the player, the solenoid SOLA of the variable winning device is energized (turned on), and the big winning opening 53 is opened.

[0114] When the big winning hole 53 is opened from the 1st to the 15th cycle, the number of continuous cycles is displayed on the left symbol display section 22, the bar symbol is displayed on the middle symbol display section 23,
In the right symbol display section 24, the number of game balls won in the jackpot 53 during each cycle is displayed, and the symbol that caused the jackpot (text portion - winning letters only) is displayed. It is converted alternately as appropriate.

[0115] When the game ball enters the continuous winning hole 54 when the big winning hole 53 is opened during the 1st to 15th cycles, the frame display part within the stop symbol and the winning character are temporarily They are converted and displayed alternately. After that, the number of continuation cycles is displayed on the left symbol display section 22, and the middle symbol display section 2
The bar is placed at position 3, and the number of game balls that hit the jackpot during each cycle is displayed at the position of the right symbol display section 24, and the symbol that caused the jackpot is displayed, alternately as appropriate. converted back into a display. In addition, as a continuous condition fulfillment open state display, each decorative lamp (L1 to 7, LED1
~4, LED5~LED7) are converted to a blinking state. After that, until the big prize opening closes at the end of that cycle, among the decorative lamps, the display lamp L6, the winning display lamp L10, the variable display lamps L4 and L3, and the operation display lamp L2 move and blink in this lighting order. conduct. Also,
During the wait time of each cycle of the jackpot game (at this time, the jackpot 51 is closed), the variable display section 2
The display pattern that caused the jackpot flashes on each display section 22, 23, 24 of No. 1, and each decorative lamp (L1 to L7
, LED1-4, LED5-LED7) are brought into a simultaneous blinking state.

[0116] Big prize opening 53 from 1st to 15th cycles
At the time of opening, the predetermined time passes before there is a prize in the continuation prize opening 54, or 10% enters the big prize opening 53.
If there is an individual prize, the big prize opening 53 is closed at that point and the big winning game is ended.

[0117] Also, when the big winning hole 53 is opened in the 16th (final) cycle, the variable display section 21 displays the number of consecutive cycles at the position of the left symbol display section 22, as in the 1st to 15th cycles. , a bar is displayed at the position of the middle symbol display section 23, and the number of game balls that entered the jackpot 53 during each cycle is displayed at the location of the right symbol display section 24, and the jackpot is generated. It is alternately converted to a state where the symbol is displayed. Among the decorative lamps, the display lamp L6, the winning display lamp L10, and the variable display lamp L3.

[0118] Also, the crank cam S of the prize ball ejecting device 810
When the detection signal from W (MSW) is input to the microcomputer 610 via the waveform forming circuit 651, it is stored in the RAM 630, and based on the storage, the microcomputer 610 outputs the discharge switching signal to the driver 65.
2, the limit solenoid SOLC of the prize ball ejecting device 830 is energized, and thereby the prize ball ejecting device 810
The discharge status of is changed and discharge (15 pieces are discharged) is performed. In addition, when an abnormality occurs in the pachinko game machine 1,
Only the decorative lamp L1 is blinked, and all other lamps are turned off.

FIG. 29 shows a control processing procedure for main processing performed by computer system 600 of FIG. 28. This main process is phase 0 (step S100), in which the status of each switch (SW1 to SW6, MSW) of the pachinko game machine is input, chattering is removed, and the input process is arranged into a format that can be used in other phases.
, Determination of whether the power is turned on or not, and specific RAM 630
The area is inspected to determine whether the RAM 630 is normal or not.
Phase 1 (steps S101 to S103) performs initialization processing of the RAM 630 area when the AM 630 area is abnormal, output processing to the liquid crystal display panel 340, output processing to each port, and two-system prize ball processing. Phase 2 (step S104, step S105),
When fraud is detected and a fraud condition occurs, fraud detection and fraud removal monitoring processing that performs fraudulent operations until the fraud condition disappears, processing for accepting input for each switch, and processing of each game execution step according to the game execution order. Phase 3 (step S106, step S107),
A phase (step S109) in which processing of output editing of lamps, solenoids, LEDs, etc., processing of sound editing/output, etc.
~Step S110) and phase 5 of updating random numbers
It is divided into six phases (step S111).

[0120] When the main processing is started, each switch (SW1 to SW6, MSW
), and then the process moves to step S101. In step S101, it is determined whether the process is to be started by turning on the power or to continue the process. If it is determined that the process is to be continued, the process moves to step S102 and a memory test (test of a specific RAM 630 area) is performed.
It is determined whether or not 630 is normal. the result,
It is determined that the startup is due to power-on, or RAM6
30 is not normal, step S10
After initializing the RAM 630 area in step S111, the random number is updated.

[0121] However, it does not start by turning on the power, and
When it is determined that the memory (RAM630) is normal, output processing is performed in step S104, and the next step S
After performing two-system prize ball processing in step S105
Move to 6. In step S106, fraud is detected, and if a fraud condition occurs, fraud processing is performed.
In step S107, input reception processing for each switch is performed,
Game processing is performed in step S108, and step S10
Move to 9. Step S109 to step S110
After editing the output of lamps, etc., editing and outputting sound effects, the process moves to the next step S111, updates random numbers, and enters the HALT state. Each time the reset signal from the frequency divider 644 is input to the reset terminal RST of the microcomputer 610, the process returns to step S100 and the main processing is started.

FIG. 30 shows a control processing procedure for input processing (phase 0) of the main processing in FIG. 29. In this phase 0, two processes are performed: setting the stack pointer, restoring the value of the refresh register, and reading the SW. Here, the SW reading processing refers to processing that disassembles the state of each SW (SW1 to SW6, MSW), removes chattering, and formats it into a format that can be used in each process. The SW information necessary for each process includes the ON (rising edge) of the SW and the current state of the SW (the level state of the SW, whether ON or OFF). When this phase 0 input process is started, first, step S120
- In S121, each process of setting the stack pointer of the RAM 630 and restoring the value of the refresh register is performed. After that, in steps S122 to S127, the physical state of whether the switch is turned on is read, the active logic is converted from a negative logic input to a positive logic, chattering is removed, the current logic state is calculated, and the current state is stored in the RAM 630. ) Store: After extracting the rising edge of SW and storing the active state of SW in the active state memory (RAM 630), the process moves to the next phase 1 initialization process.

FIG. 31 shows the control processing procedure of the initialization processing (phase 1) of the main processing of FIG. 29. This phase 1 initialization process inspects the power monitor to determine whether the power is turned on or processing continues, and if the result of the determination is that the power is turned on or the RAM 630 inspection area is abnormal, the RAM 630 This process initializes the area.

[0124] When the process of phase 1 is started, it is first determined in step S140 whether or not it is time to turn on the power. If so, the process moves to step S142. When it is determined that the power is not turned on and the process moves to step S141, it is determined in step S141 whether the RAM 630 inspection area is normal or not, and if it is normal, the process moves to the next phase 2 output process, Otherwise, the process moves to step S142. Therefore, when the process moves to step S142, the RAM 630 is
After clearing the area 152 bytes, the process moves to step S143 to digitally set the initial display value (initial display pattern), and in the next step S144, test data is set in the test area of the RAM 630, and the random number update in phase 5 is performed. The process moves to step S616 in FIG. 62 for processing.

FIGS. 32 to 34 show control processing procedures such as output processing (phase 2) of the main processing in FIG. 29. In this output processing (phase 2), the output data output-edited in phase 4 is output to each port, and when a prize is won in the big prize opening 53, 15 game balls are sent to each game ball. When a prize is won otherwise, two processes are performed: a two-system prize ball process in which five game balls are awarded for one game ball. When this phase 2 process starts, first,
In step S150, the output data of the lamp and LED is output, and the process moves to step S152. In the step S152, the scan pointer of the LCD (liquid crystal display panel 340) is updated, and the process moves to step S154. Step S15
In step S156, it is determined whether the scan pointer has exceeded the upper limit value.
Proceed to step S15 to clear the scan pointer.
The process proceeds to step S158, but if it is determined that the upper limit is not exceeded, the process directly proceeds to step S158. Steps S158 to S164 sequentially calculate the LCD output area from the scan pointer, extract data from the corresponding address, set the number of outputs, and output the data of the LCD etc. to the MPU.
The process advances to step S166. In step S166, the MPU
It is determined whether or not all data has been output. If it is determined that all data has not been output, the process returns to step S164, but if it is determined that all data has been output, the process directly advances to step S168. In step S168, it is determined whether the scan counter is 9 or not, and when it is determined as Yes, the process proceeds to step S170, where a latch signal is output, and then the process proceeds to step S172, where the two-system prize ball process shown in FIG. 33 is performed. If it is determined that
Proceeding to step 2, two-system prize ball processing is performed.

[0126] In the two-system prize ball process shown in FIG. 33, the process of monitoring the winnings of the winning number detection switches (SW3 to 5, hereinafter referred to as count SW) and storing the number of winnings up to a maximum of 255 (steps S172 to S180); Processing is branched based on the two systems of control numbers, and is divided into different processes (steps S182 to S230) that are performed according to each state. When entering into this two-system prize ball processing, it is determined in step S172 whether or not there is an input to the winning number detection switch (SW3 to SW5), and if it is determined that there is no winning, the process directly moves to step S180 and the winning number is determined. If it is determined that there is, the memory number of the winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5) is updated (+1 count up) in step S174.
Then, the process moves to step S176.

[0127] In step S176, it is determined whether or not the number of winning pieces detected by the winning number detection switch (SW3 to SW5) is less than "256".
If it is determined that it is less than "6", the process directly proceeds to step S180, and if it is determined that it is not less than "256", the winning number detection switch (S
After keeping the number of memories W3 to W5) below "256", the process moves to step S180. In step S180, it is determined whether or not all winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5) have been inspected. If it is determined that they have not been inspected, the process returns to step S172 and processes in steps S172 to S178 are performed. , when it is determined that the inspection has been performed, the process advances to step S182. Then, steps S182 to S18
6, the two system control numbers are “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”
Determine which of the following applies. As a result, if it is determined to be "0", the process moves to step S188 in FIG. 34 to check the memory of the winning number detection switch (SW3 to SW5) at the start of the prize ball with the control number "0" and to control the solenoid SOLC. However, when it is determined that the control number is "1", the process moves to step S200 in FIG. 34 in order to remove chattering at the rising edge of the MSW (FIG. 22) of the crown cam 861 with the control number "1".

[0128] Furthermore, when it is determined that the number is "2", the process proceeds to step S212 in FIG.
and when it is determined to be “3”, the control number is “3”.
The process moves to step S220 in FIG. 34 to control the falling chattering removal of MSW. First, in the process of control number "0", in step S188, the solenoid SOL
After setting the ON information of C, the process moves to step S190. In step S190, it is determined whether the MSW is at the "H" level (high level) (the prize ball ejecting operation is in progress), and if it is at the "H" level (the prize ball ejecting operation is in progress). If it is inside), the process moves to step S192, but if it is not at the "H" level (high level) (if the prize ball ejection operation is not in progress), the process moves to step S23.
Transition to 0. In step S192, it is determined whether or not there is memory in the winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5).
If it is determined that there is, the process directly proceeds to step S196, but if it is determined that there is no, the process proceeds to step S19.
Step 4 sets the solenoid SOLC off information. Thus, when the process moves to step S196, step S19
In step S198, the chattering removal time (300 ms) is set, and in the next step S198, the two-system control number is set to "1", and then the process moves to step S230.

[0129] When the process moves to step S230, the control information is stored in the control area in the register of the RAM 630, and then the process moves to phase 3.

[0130] It is determined that the control number is "1" and the process proceeds to step S2.
When the number shifts to 00, the two-system control number is set to "0" in step S200, and then the routine shifts to step S202. In step S202, MSW is at “H” level (
It is determined whether the ball is at a high level (a prize ball ejection operation is in progress). As a result, when it is determined that the level is not "H" (high level) (the prize ball ejection operation is not in progress), the process directly proceeds to step S230. However, when it is determined that the level is "H" (high level) (the prize ball ejection operation is in progress), step S20
Set the two-line control number to "1" in step 4, and proceed to the next step S.
Update the chattering removal timer in 206 and proceed to step S.
The process moves to 208. In step S208, it is determined whether or not the chattering removal time has ended, and when it is determined that the chattering removal time has ended, the two-system control number is set to "2" in step S210.
” and then proceeds to step S230. If it is determined that the process has not been completed, the process continues to step S230.
to move to. Therefore, when the process moves to step S230, the control information in the register of the RAM 630 is stored in the control area in step S230, and then the process moves to phase 3.

[0131] It is determined that the control number is "2" and the process proceeds to step S2.
12, it is determined whether or not the solenoid SOLC is turned on (15 pieces are being discharged), and when it is determined that it is turned on, the winning number detection switch ( SW3~5)
Decrement (-1) the memory number of and then step S
The process moves to step S216, but if it is determined that it is not turned on (5 pieces are being discharged), the process directly moves to step S216. Then, in step S216, the chattering removal time is set to 150 ms, and in the next step S218, the two-system control number is set to "3", and the process proceeds to step S230. Therefore, when the process moves to step S230, the control information in the register of the RAM 630 is stored in the control area in step S230, and then the process moves to phase 3.

[0132] It is determined that the control number is "3" and the process proceeds to step S2.
When the process moves to step S20, the MSW is
(FIG. 22) is at the "H" level (high level) (a prize ball ejection operation is in progress). As a result, when it is determined that the level is "H" (high level) (the prize ball ejection operation is in progress), the process moves to step S216 to set a chattering removal time of 150 msec, and the process of steps S218 and S230 is performed. After performing these steps in order, the process moves to phase 3. However, the “H” level (
High level) (not in the process of ejecting prize balls)
If it is determined that this is the case, steps S222 and S224 sequentially perform processing to set the ON information of the solenoid SOLC and processing to update the chattering removal timer, and then proceed to step S226. In step S226, it is determined whether or not the chattering removal time has ended. If it is determined that the chattering removal time has not ended, the process directly proceeds to step S230. If it is determined that the chattering removal time has ended, the two-system control number is set to "
0" and then the process moves to step S230. When the process moves to step S230, the control information in the register of the RAM 630 is stored in the control area in step S, and the process moves to phase 3.

FIGS. 35 to 38 show the processing performed in phase 3 of the main processing in FIG. 29, in which fraud monitoring processing and fraud processing are performed in steps S250 to S280, and fraud processing is performed in steps S282 to S292. Input monitoring processing of the start winning prize detection switches SW1 and SW2 is performed, input monitoring processing of the counter SW is performed in steps S294 to S318, input monitoring processing of the continuous winning prize detection switch SW3 is performed in steps S320 to S338, and step S3
40 to S348 show control processing procedures for game processing. In the above-mentioned fraud monitoring process, if any of the counter SW is turned on/short-circuited for approximately 3 seconds or more continuously, or if any of the counter SW or continuous winning detection switch is If it is not turned on, it is assumed to be fraudulent and the process proceeds to fraudulent processing. When this phase 3 process is started, first, in step S250, the counter S is
It is determined whether or not there is an input of W, and if there is an input, the no-count fraud monitoring request is cleared in step S252, and then the process moves to step S254.On the other hand, if there is no input, the process directly moves to step S254. And step S
In step S254, the fraud flag is retrieved, and the process proceeds to step S255, where fraud monitoring information is retrieved and then step S256
to move to.

[0134] In step S256, it is determined whether the status of the corresponding switch SW for which fraud should be detected is at "L" level (low level), and it is determined that it is not at "L" level (low level). Sometimes step S
The process moves to step 258 to monitor SW3 to SW5 for on/short irregularities. That is, in step S258, it is determined whether the corresponding SW is in a fraudulent state, and if it is in a fraudulent state, the process directly proceeds to step S258.
The process moves to 266 and a fraud flag is set, but if there is no fraud, the monitoring timer is updated in step S260, and the process advances to step S264, where it is determined whether or not the corresponding time (about 3 seconds) has elapsed. If the time has passed, a fraud flag is set in step S266, and if the time has not passed, step S266 is set.
The process proceeds to 268, where the fraud flag is reset.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S256 that the status of the corresponding switch SW for which fraud should be detected is at "L" level (low level), step S26
Move to step 2 to monitor no-count fraud. That is, the monitoring timer is initialized in step S262, and the monitoring timer is initialized in step S262.
64, it is determined whether the corresponding time (approximately 29 seconds plus 1.9 seconds) has elapsed, and if so, step S2
A fraud flag is set in step S66, and if the time has not elapsed, the process advances to step S268, where the fraud flag is reset. After that, the process moves to step S270, and it is determined whether or not all fraud monitoring has been completed. If it has been completed, the process proceeds to step S272, but if it has not been completed, the process returns to step S256 and repeats the loop of steps S256 to S270, and ends. When it is determined that this is the case, the process moves to step S272 to store a fraud flag, and after that, the process moves to step S274. In step S274, it is determined whether there is any fraud. As a result, if it is determined that there is no fraud, the process moves to step S282 in FIG. 36. However, if it is determined that there is fraud, the process moves to step S276 to perform fraud processing.

[0136] Then, in steps S276 to S280, in the process of updating the illegal timer, L2 is changed from the illegal timer to 32 m.
After sequentially performing the process of blinking at the s period and the process of turning off the outputs other than solenoids SOLC and L2, the process moves to S542 in FIG. 61 to perform sound output control.

[0137] Moving to step S282 in FIG.
The input monitoring process of the starting winning a prize detection switch is started, and it is determined whether the starting winning a prize detection switches SW1 and SW2 are on. If it is on, the process advances to step S284, where it is determined whether or not the number of stored items is equal to or greater than the upper limit value (maximum 4 in this embodiment), and if it is not equal to or greater than the upper limit value, the process proceeds to step S284.
In steps 286 to S290, the process of updating the stored number, adding the value of RANDOM (random number for generating jackpot probability) and the refresh register, storing the result, and setting a request to output the starting opening winning sound is performed, and the process proceeds to step S292. However, if it is determined in step S282 that the starting opening winning detection switch is not turned on, or if it is determined in step S284 that the stored number is greater than or equal to the upper limit value, the process directly proceeds to step S292. In step S292, it is determined whether or not the full start winning detection switch has been checked, and when it is determined that it has not been checked, the process returns to step S282 and the processes of steps S282 to S292 are performed again.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the check has been made, it is determined in step S294 whether or not a jackpot operation is in progress, and if it is not in operation, the process directly proceeds to step S340 in FIG. 38, and the variable display game is started. . However, if it is determined in step S294 that a jackpot operation is in progress, the process moves to step S296. In step S296, it is determined whether or not there is an input to the count SW. If there is no input, the process moves directly to step S320 in FIG. 37 in order to monitor the input of the continuous winning detection switch SW3, but if there is an input, the process moves to step S298. do. In step S298, a count sound output request is set, and in step S300, it is determined whether or not there is an input to SW3 of the count SWs. If there is an input, the process advances to step S302, and the number of inputs to the count SW is updated. Then, the process proceeds to step S304.
If no input has been made, the process directly advances to step S304.

[0139] In step S304, among the count SWs,
It is determined whether or not an input has been made to SW4. If it has been input, the process proceeds to step S306, the number of inputs to the count SW is updated, and the process proceeds to step S308; if it has not been input, the process directly proceeds to step S308. In step S308, it is determined whether or not there is an input to SW5 among the count SWs, and if there is an input, the process moves to step S310.
The input number of the count SW is updated and the process proceeds to step S312. If no input has been made, the process directly proceeds to step S312. In step S312, it is determined whether or not the input to the number-of-winnings detection switch SW consisting of SW3, 4, and 5 is less than 10 counts, and if it is less than 10 counts, the process directly proceeds to step S320 shown in FIG.
If the count is less than 0, proceed to step S314 and 10
Count information is set, and the process advances to step S316. In step S316, it is determined whether the input is during the valid time of SW3 to SW5, and if it is not within the valid time, step S316 is performed.
The process proceeds to step S318, where the sequence timer is cleared, and if it is within the valid time, the process directly proceeds to step S320 shown in FIG.

[0140] In steps S320 to S338, the input of the continuous winning detection switch SW3 is monitored. First, in step S320, it is determined whether or not there is an input to the continuous winning detection switch SW3. If there is no input, the process continues to step S3.
The process advances to step S322 to start a new variable display game, but if there is an input, the process advances to step S322. In step S322, it is determined whether or not the number of continuations of the special game is the 16th time.
If it is the 6th time, the process directly proceeds to step S340, but if it is not the 16th time, the process proceeds to step S324, and it is determined whether or not a jackpot operation is in progress before continuation based on the winning of the continuous winning detection switch SW3.

[0141] When it is determined in step S324 that the jackpot operation is in progress, steps S334 to S3
In step 38, set the control type switching timer to switch the control type after continuation of the jackpot operation, request the output of the continuous winning detection switch sound, and set the control type "11" (jackpot operation for 2 seconds after continuation). Then, the process moves to step S332, and the step number indicating the execution stage of the game process of the variable display game is updated.

[0142] On the other hand, when it is determined in step S324 that the jackpot operation is not in progress, it is determined in step S326 whether or not the valid time before continuation (1.9 seconds after the closing of the big winning opening) is the valid time. If it is determined that
28 to Step S330, the interval sound output is requested and the control type is set to "9" (fanfare operation), and the process moves to Step S332. However, if it is determined that the valid time is not reached, the process continues to Step S340 in FIG.
to move to. When the process moves to step S340, the initial information of the incorrect sound is set at step S340, and the process moves to step S342 where it is determined whether or not the sequence time has ended. If it has not ended, the sequence timer is started at step S344. After updating, the process directly proceeds to step S400 of the phase 4 process in FIG. 55, but if it is determined that the process has been completed, the process proceeds to step S346. In step S346, inappropriate step numbers are initialized, and then the process moves to step S348.

[0143] When the process moves to step S348, step S00 (normal operation process), step S01 (left symbol rotation start process), and step S02 (medium Step S03 (right symbol rotation start process), Step S04 (automatic stop time end monitoring process), Step S05 (left symbol stop start process), Step S06 (middle symbol stop start process), Step S07 (right symbol stop/start process), step S08 (

014 (monitoring the end of the jackpot operation after continuation), step S015 (monitoring the end of the valid time before continuing), step S016 (monitoring the end of the valid time after continuing), step S017 (monitoring the end of the jackpot end operation) Processing), the game process is performed, and then the process moves to step S400 of phase 4 processing in FIG.

FIG. 39 shows an outline of the control processing procedure of steps S00 to S017 of the variable display game processing. As for the flow of the game processing of the variable display game, first, normal operation processing (step S00) is performed until there is a winning in the starting winning holes 4, 5, and 6.

[0145] In the normal operation process of step S00, it is determined whether or not there is storage, and if there is storage, information for starting digital rotation of the variable display section 21 is set, and if there is no storage, information for starting normal operation is set. . Such processing is continued until the input to the starting winning detection switches SW1 and SW2 is detected, and at the time of the input, the process moves to the next left symbol rotation start processing (step S01).

[0146] The left symbol rotation start process in step S01 is a process for starting the rotation of the left symbol, and is continued until the rotation of the left symbol starts, and at the point when the rotation starts, the next Middle symbol rotation start processing (step S02)
to move to.

[0147] The middle symbol rotation start process in step S02 is a process for starting the rotation of the middle symbol, and is continued until the rotation of the middle symbol starts, and at the point when the rotation starts, the next Right symbol rotation start processing (step S03)
to move to.

[0148] The right symbol rotation start process in step S03 is a process to start the rotation of the right symbol, and is continued until the rotation of the right symbol starts, and at the point when the rotation starts, the next The process moves to automatic stop time end monitoring processing (step S04).

[0149] The automatic stop time end monitoring process in step S04 is to set a random time until the stop symbol is determined after the automatic stop time of each display section 22, 23, 24 of the variable display section 21 ends. In this embodiment, for example, the automatic stop time of the left symbol display section 22 is 4000 m after the start of fluctuation.
seconds later, and the random time is determined between 2 msec and 64 msec using the value of the R register at the time when the automatic stop time has elapsed. Then, when the random time ends, the process moves to the next left symbol stop start process (step S05).

[0150] The left symbol stop start process in step S05 is to determine the combination of the stop symbols on the variable display section 21 and set the stop information for the left symbol, and is continued until the left symbol stops. , at the time of stopping, the process moves to the next medium symbol stop start process (step S06).

[0151] The stop start process for the middle symbol in step S06 is to set the stop information for the middle symbol, and is continued until the middle symbol stops, at which point the stop start process for the next right symbol is started. The process moves to (step S07).

[0152] The right symbol stop start processing in step S07 is to determine the reach position and to set the right symbol stop information. The process continues until the reach expression is started, and when it is determined that the reach expression has started, the end monitoring process (step S08) for the next reach expression is performed.
), and except in the case of reach, it continues until the right symbol stops, and at the time the right symbol stops, step 0
The process moves to step 9 to determine the stop result.

[0153] The completion monitoring process at the time of reach in step S08 is carried out in the case of reach, and is used to set the stop time of the right symbol, and is continued until the right symbol stops. At the point in time when the stop is stopped, the process moves to the next stop result determination process (step S09).

[0154] The stop result determination process in step S09 is to determine whether it is a jackpot or a miss, and perform processing according to the determination result. If the stop result is incorrect, the process moves to an error operation end monitoring process (step S010). Then, the end of the disconnection operation (turning off all lamps, etc.) is monitored, and if there is no storage at the time the disconnection operation ends, the process returns to the first normal operation process (step S00) and returns to step S0
0 or less processing is performed. If there is some storage at the end of the disengagement movement, left symbol rotation start processing (step S
Returning to step S01), the processing from step S01 onwards is performed again. However, if the result of the determination in the stop result determination process in step S09 is a jackpot, the process moves to a fanfare transition process at the time of a jackpot (step S011). The fanfare transition process in step S011 is to set the fanfare operation after monitoring the end of the jackpot display time (1 second) on the jackpot variable display section 21. This fanfare transition process is continued until it is finished, and at the time the fanfare transition process is finished, the process moves to the next fanfare and interval operation completion monitoring process (step S012).

[0155] The end monitoring process of the fanfare and interval action in step S012 is to monitor the end of the jackpot fanfare action, and to set the jackpot action after the fanfare action ends. The process continues until the fanfare process is performed, and after the fanfare process, the end monitoring process (step S) of the jackpot operation before continuation is performed.
013).

[0156] The end monitoring process of the jackpot operation before continuation in step S013 is to monitor the condition for ending the open state of the door 51 of the variable winning device 50 before winning the continuous winning opening 54. Here, the condition for ending the open state is that the jackpot operation time (29 seconds) has elapsed or the count number of the count SW has reached 10. In addition, if the game ball enters the continuous winning hole before the above-mentioned termination condition is satisfied, the process moves to the termination monitoring process of the jackpot operation after the continuation of step S014. Then, in this step S014, the above two conditions are monitored.

[0157] When the jackpot time ends in step S013 or the jackpot time reaches 10, step S01
5, and when the jackpot time ends in step S014 or the count reaches 10, the process moves to step S016.

[0158] Both step 015 and step S016 are for monitoring the continuation conditions of the jackpot operation, and first, before determining the continuation conditions, the steps to SW3 to SW5 during the valid time of SW3 to SW5 (29 seconds plus 1.9 seconds) are performed. After checking the presence or absence of input, the continuation condition is determined. If it is determined that the continuation condition is satisfied in step S015 and step S016, the process returns to step 012 when the effective time of SW3 to SW5 (29 seconds plus 1.9 seconds) ends, and the process from step 012 onwards is performed. is repeated. On the other hand, step S0
If it is determined that the continuation condition is not satisfied in step 15, S
When the valid time of W3 to W5 (29 seconds plus 1.9 seconds) ends, the process moves to step S017.

[0159] Step S017 is for monitoring the operation after the expiration of the valid time, and is continued until the jackpot operation ends. And when the jackpot operation is finished,
If there is no storage, the first normal operation process (step S00
), and the processing from step S00 onwards is performed again. When the jackpot operation is completed, if there is a reserve, the process returns to the left symbol rotation start process (step S01), and the processes from step S01 onwards are performed again.

If it is determined that the upper limit has been exceeded, the process proceeds to step S444, where the display information is cleared, and the process proceeds to step S446. In step S446, it is determined whether or not the rotation is continuous. If it is determined that the rotation is continuous, step S446 is performed.
Proceed to step S448 if the rotation is not continuous.

[0205] Modification of variable display device
In this embodiment, the variable display section 21 is made using the liquid crystal display panel 340, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a drum type in which a drum-shaped variable display member is rotated by a rotary motor may be used. In addition, a variable display unit may be formed using a fluorescent display tube as a light-emitting display device, in which case a segment type fluorescent display tube, a dot character type fluorescent display tube,
A graphics-type fluorescent display may also be used. Furthermore, a light emitting diode or electroluminescence may be used.

[0206] Modification of variable winning device In this embodiment, a variable winning device 50 of a door type attacker in which the opening and closing of the big winning opening is performed by a door 51 was used, but the movable member is a feather that converts into an inverted V shape. A variable prize winning device 50 using a type attacker or a sliding type attacker may be used.

[0207] Further, in this embodiment, a continuation winning hole 54 is provided in the center of the big winning hole 53, and winning holes 55 and 56 are provided on the left and right sides of the continuous winning hole 54, respectively. The roles of 55 and 56 can also be changed. For example, until a special game is started and the grand prize opening 53 is opened and a game ball enters the grand prize opening 53 for the first time, each of the winning holes 54, 55, 56 functions as a continuous winning hole,
After the first prize is won, each of the winning holes may function as a general winning hole. By configuring in this way, the special game can be reliably continued. In addition, one cycle of special games is divided into three stages: the first half, the middle, and the second half.
In the first half, the winning hole 54 may function as a continuous winning hole, in the middle, the winning hole 55 may function as a continuous winning hole, and in the second half, the winning hole 56 may function as a continuous winning hole. Further, in the case of right-handed players, the winning hole 55 may function as a continuous winning hole, and in the case of left-handed players, the winning hole 56 may function as a continuous winning hole. Furthermore, the size of the continuous winning hole may be changed with the passage of time. That is, in the first half of one cycle of the special game, the width of the continuous winning hole may be narrowed, and in the second half, the width of the continuous winning hole may be expanded.

[0208] Furthermore, as shown in the vertical cross-sectional view of the principal part of the variable prize winning device 50 in FIG. 68, there are a ball storage part 51a for temporarily storing balls inside the door 51, and a ball flow down prevention part 51b for preventing the balls from flowing down. By providing this, the game balls will not fall from the left and right ends of the door 51 when the door 51 is in the open state. Then, when the door 51 changes to the closed state, the ball storage section 51
The game balls stored in a will surely flow down to the grand prize opening.

Furthermore, a variable prize winning device 5 as shown in FIG.
00 may be attached. The variable prize winning device 500 is equipped with a constituent base frame 500A, and on the front side of the constituent base frame 500A is a substantially Y-shaped grand prize opening 530;
It is provided with a cover part 510A that covers the upper part, and a pair of movable parts 510, 510 that surround the left and right sides of the big prize opening 530. And in the big winning opening 530, there is a continuous winning opening 54.
0, a specific winning hole 900A is attached to a position directly below the big winning hole 530, and a 10 count SW 550 is attached to a lower position inside the big winning hole 530. In the variable display game, until a jackpot occurs, the pair of movable parts 510, 510 are in an open state as shown by solid lines in FIG. Wow, big prize opening 5
It covers the top of 30.

Next, the operation of such variable winning device 500 will be explained with reference to a control block diagram of the variable winning device 500 in FIG. 70 and a timing chart diagram of the variable winning device 500 in FIG. 71. Solenoids SOL2 and SOL3 operate the pair of movable parts 510 and 510 at the time when a jackpot signal rises when a jackpot occurs in the variable display game.
and a solenoid SOL that operates the cover portion 510A.
1, the cover portion 510A is housed inside the constituent base frame 500A, and the pair of movable portions 510, 510 are arranged as shown in FIG.
The state is changed to a closed state as shown by the dotted line at 9, and a special game is started. Then, at the time when the winning of 10 game balls into the big prize opening 530 is detected by the 10 count SW, the solenoids SOL2 and SOL3 are converted to the OFF state, and the pair of movable parts 510 and 510 are turned to the open state. be done. Then, after a predetermined period of time, the solenoid SOL1 that operates the cover section 510A is turned off, and the cover section 510A is controlled to protrude in front of the component base frame 500A. Variable prize winning device 500 with such a configuration
It has the following three characteristics.

First, when the movable part 510 is in the closed state, the outer edge of the movable part 510 and the nail groups 190, 190 form a flow path for the game ball to the specific winning opening 900A, and the special game Opportunities to win prize balls will expand.

[0212] Next, when the movable part 510 is in the closed state, ten or more game balls may be pooled in the movable part 510, but when the movable part 510 is in the open state, these game balls are The possibility of winning a prize in the winning opening 900A increases.

Furthermore, since the cover portion 510A approaches with a shifted timing, the variable winning device 50
The game ball flowing down toward 0 is the specific winning hole 9.
The possibility of winning 00A increases.

[0214] Modified Example of Holding Device In the embodiment described above, all the held balls that are being held will flow out when the holding release SW is pressed, but one game ball will flow out each time the holding release SW is pressed. You can also do this. Alternatively, the held ball may be released when a predetermined time has elapsed by a timer without providing a hold release switch, or automatically when a hit occurs in a normal symbol variable display game and the normal electric accessory changes to the open state. It is also possible to release the reserved ball.

[0215] Modification of the ordinary electric accessory In this embodiment, the ordinary electric accessory 70 is provided with a starting winning hole 4, but a general winning opening may be provided instead of this starting winning hole. In addition, in the ordinary electric accessory 70, a pair of ball guide pieces 7
11, 711 makes it easy to win a game ball, but instead of such a gate switching structure, an electric tulip, the variable winning device 50
A pair of guide members are attached to the left and right sides of the door-type attacker or prize opening used in It's okay.

Variation conditions of the normal symbol variable display device In the above embodiment, a passing type chucker with upper and lower openings is used, and the normal symbol display section 100a changes on the condition that the game ball passes through the passing type chucker (specific gate). Although the starting winning opening may also serve as the second specific winning opening, or the specific gate 150B may be provided above the starting winning opening as shown in FIG. A holding device may be provided above the gate 150B. In this way, the specific gate 1 of the game ball can be set at the player's discretion.
Since the passage to 50B can be controlled, the player can judge the game situation and control the normal symbol variable display game. Further, when the memory in the entered prize storage means 401 or the specific winning storage means 413 is full, the normal symbol variable display game and the variable display game can be controlled by not letting the reserved balls flow down. Also, the continuation of the big winning opening 53, the winning opening 54, and the winning opening 54, 5.
6 or the normal symbol display section 100a may be changed on the condition that a prize is won in the big winning hole 53. In this way, the normal symbol display section 100a changes only during the special game, and it is possible to expect not only prize balls that land in the big prize opening, but also prize balls that land in the normal electric accessory 70.

[0217] For example, the game ball launching device may be provided with a game ball launch detection means for detecting the number of launched game balls, detecting that the number of launched balls has reached a certain number, and displaying the normal symbol display section 1.
00a may be varied. In this way, all players can equally enjoy the normal symbol variable display game. In addition, when it is detected that the difference obtained by subtracting the number of prize balls from the number of batted balls has reached a certain number, the normal symbol display section 100
Alternatively, a may start changing. Furthermore, an out ball detection means for detecting the number of out balls may be provided in the collection gutter of out balls, and the normal symbol display section 100a may be changed when the out ball detector detects a certain number of out balls.

[0218] Modifications of ordinary symbol variable display device, etc. The ordinary symbol display section may be a segment type fluorescent display tube, a dot character type fluorescent display tube, a graphics type fluorescent display tube, or a light emitting diode. ,
Electroluminescence may also be used. Furthermore, a mechanical method such as a drum method may be used. The normal symbol display device 100 may be provided alongside the normal electric accessory 70, may be provided alongside the variable winning device, or may be provided separately on the game board.

Others [0219] The second specific winning part is a passing type chucker with upper and lower openings, but it may be of any type as long as it can detect the winning of game balls. In addition, in the embodiment described above, the number of winnings entered into the specific winning opening 9 can be stored, for example, up to 4 winnings, but the number of winnings does not need to be limited and the storage means can be used. It's okay.

[0220]

[Effect of the invention] According to the pachinko game machine according to the present invention,
A second specific winning section is provided above the ball inlet of the holding device through which game balls flow in, and the second winning section is provided below the ball outlet of the holding device through which game balls flow out. Since the first specific winning section is provided in the winning section, the first variable display game can be played based on the result of the second variable display game, and both games can be played in a uniform manner. This makes it possible to further enhance the interest of the pachinko game. Furthermore, since the reserved balls are reliably flowed down to the second prize winning section, the interest of the pachinko game can be further increased in that the player can obtain more prize balls.
