The rotation shaft 22 of each opening/closing member 20 extends through the mounting board 18, and the operating lever 24 has a pin 23 implanted at its rear end for opening/closing the opening/closing R 20, 20 from side to side. It is fixed. The pin 23 of this operating lever 24 is loosely inserted into an engagement hole 27 of an operating member 26 provided at the lower end of a plunger of a solenoid 25 that is a driving source. For this reason, the left and right opening/closing wings 20, 20 . is normally the fifth due to the plunger's own weight and the action of the return spring.
As shown in the figure, the ball is closed and does not receive the ball, ie, the first state is maintained, which is disadvantageous to the player. The solenoid 25 is attached to a boss protruding from the back surface of the drive board 28, or is formed in common with the operating member 26 and its engagement hole 27, or the pins 23.23 of the two left and right operating levers 24.24. ing.

The solenoid 25 is energized to open and close the operating member 26.
20, the operating member 26 and the bottle 23 move upward, and each operating lever 24 rotates outward about the rotation shaft 22, opening and closing the opening/closing blades. 20. 20 is opened and converted to a state in which it is easy to receive a batted ball, that is, a second state that is advantageous for the player. In addition, 29・

It is converted to a second state in which it is biased.

In the concave chamber 44 formed on the back side of the first base plate 33 of the variable winning device 12 described above, there is a continuous winning slot 45 in the center, and a general winning slot 46a on the left and right sides thereof.

46b is formed, and the ball that passes through the continuation prize opening 45 activates the continuation switch 47, and the ball passes through the continuation prize opening 46a, 46.
b and the ball that has passed through the continuous winning hole 45 activates the count switch 48. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, in order to make the general winning slot 46a on the left side facing the game board 6 function as a bonus winning hole, the ball that enters is detected by the bonus winning detector 49, and the control device 32.

In addition, the width of the ball receiving door 36, that is, the winning area in which the variable winning device 13 receives a ball and becomes a winning ball, is the winning area of the auxiliary variable winning device 12, that is, the opening and closing area converted to the second state. It is set wider than the heat between one end of the blade 20.20. Just because you want it, it's a variable prize outfit! 13 or converting to the second state,
Compared to the auxiliary variable winning device 12, balls can be won over a wider range, and even if the auxiliary variable winning device jJ12'b (converts to the second state), the variable winning device 13 can win balls. I can do it.

Each of the above-mentioned detectors, display devices, etc. are connected to a control device 32 and operate under the prompting of this control device 32.

Next, a game in the pachinko machine I having the above-described configuration will be explained.

When the player starts the batted ball firing device by operating the firing operation section 4, the balls introduced from the ball supply device 3 are fired one by one. The ball fired by the ball launcher enters the game section 8 via the guide rail 7, hits an obstacle nail, changes the direction of flow, and then flows down. When one ball enters the specific winning hole 11, the first starting switch 10 detects this ball and sends a specific winning signal to the winning storage means 50 of the control device 32. In this embodiment, the left tulip winning device 14a functions as a starting port and is equipped with a third starting switch 51. Therefore, when the hit ball wins the tulip winning device 14a, the third starting switch 51 detects this ball and sends a signal to the winning storage means 50 of the control device i32, and the winning ball is moved between the left and right movable parts. 14'14' is opened to convert the ball into a state where it is easy to win.

The winning storage means 50 stores the number of balls that won in the specific winning opening 11;
That is, the specific winning signal is stored within a preset range, and if the specific winning signal exceeds the set range, even if the specific winning signal is received, it is processed as a substantially invalid signal. In addition, the setting rl
If it is J, all you have to do is receive and store one specific winning signal from the first start switch 10, etc., then overflow the other specific winning signal, and win a prize in the specific winning slot 11 during another game, which will be described later. Even if the player wins a prize, another game will not be started.

When the specific winning signal is stored in the winning storage means 50, this signal is sent to the operation timing control means 52, and based on the signal from the operation timing control means 52, the stop timing variable means 53a.

53b, 53c, display update pulse means 54a.

54b, 54c, variable display control means 55a.

55b and 55c are activated, and the variables 16a, 16b, and 16c of the variable display device 9 start variable displaying numbers from "0" to "9" at a high speed that cannot be seen visually. Then, either a stop command signal is output after a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) set in the timer of the operation timing control means 52 has elapsed, or the player operates the operation section 5' to turn off the stop switch 5. When a stop command signal is sent from the variable display device 9, the variable displays of the variable display device 9 are sequentially stopped, and each variable display device 16a, 16b is stopped.

When all the variable displays on the variable display W9 stop, the determination means 56 functioning as a specific game state detection means determines the combination of numbers displayed on the variable display M9 in advance. If it is determined that the right to play a special game has occurred in accordance with the prize format, the jackpot signal is sent to the variable winning device drive control means 5.
Send to 7.

Next, the special game will be explained.

When the variable winning device drive control means 57 receives a jackpot signal, a variable winning '! ! iR1! t l 2. Soleno, point 35°37 for a predetermined time (e.g. λcf3081fJ!)
76 m L T Open the ball receiving door 36 and the ball receiving pieces 38 and 38 to change the shape to the second state where it is easy to receive a single batted ball. Then, when the balls flowing down inside the gaming section 8 are received by the ball receiving door 36 and win the general prize winning slots 46a and 46b, these balls are detected by the counting switch 48 and sent to the winning ball number counting means 58. When the winning ball counting means 58 counts the number of winning balls and reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls set in advance), it sends an end signal to the variable winning device drive control means 57,
End the special game.

One cycle is until the above-described predetermined time passes or the number of winning balls reaches the predetermined number, and if a ball hits the continuation prize opening 45 before these end conditions are satisfied (during the cycle), the continuation switch 47 is activated. This ball is detected and a continuation signal is sent to the continuation control means 59, whereby the cycle is updated and the special game can be continued a predetermined number of times (for example, until the 16th cycle). In addition, if the ball is not hit or enters the continuous winning slot 45 during the cycle, the special game will end completely when a predetermined time elapses or the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number, and in the final cycle. Even if a ball is hit or a prize is won in the continuous winning slot 45, the cycle is not updated and the special game ends when a predetermined time elapses or the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number.

Also, during the special game, when a ball enters the general winning slot 46a on the left side of the variable winning device 13, that is, the bonus winning hole, the bonus winning detector 49 detects that the condition for starting the operation of the auxiliary variable winning device M12 has been achieved. Detecting this ball, the auxiliary variable prize winning device drive control means 61 via the or gate 6o
send a signal to. When the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 61 receives this signal, the auxiliary variable winning device 12 is activated by the timer 62.
For a preset period of time (for example, 1.5 seconds), the first state, which is disadvantageous to the player, changes to the second state, which is advantageous to the player!
Convert to i. When the auxiliary variable winning device 12 changes to the second state and a ball wins, a prize ball ejecting device (not shown) operates to discharge a predetermined number of prize balls into the ball supply tray 3, and also to release the winning balls. The second start switch 30 is detected and a signal is sent to the winning storage means 50 to the effect that the right for another game has been generated.

If the winning storage means 50 is in a state where the signal can be stored, this signal is stored, and after the special game ends, another game is started again.

On the other hand, in a state where winnings cannot be stored in the winning storage means 5o (for example, if the preset storage capacity has already been reached, or if the signal for starting another game during a special game is set not to be stored), The signal from N42 start switch 30 is essentially disabled.

Further, in this embodiment, the configuration is such that the output of the continuation switch 47 is sent to the auxiliary variable prize winning device drive control means 61 via the OR gate 6o. Therefore, during each cycle of the special game, when a ball enters the continuation winning slot 45, a continuation signal is sent to the continuation switch 47 or the continuation control means 59, and after the cycle ends, a predetermined wait time (for example, 1 second) is given. ), the update to the next cycle is completed as described above, and the continuation switch 47
The signal is sent to the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 61 via the OR gate 60, and based on this signal, the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 61 or the auxiliary variable winning device 12 is activated for a predetermined time of the timer 62 (e.g. 1.5 seconds) from the first state disadvantageous to the player to the second state advantageous to the player. When the auxiliary variable winning device 112 converts to the second state and the ball wins, the same as the above-mentioned bonus winning,
The prize ball discharge device operates to discharge a predetermined number of prize balls into the ball supply tray 3, and the second start switch 30 detects the winning balls and sends them to the winning storage means 50, which outputs a signal. If the memory is available, this signal is stored, and if the memory is not usable, the signal from the second start switch 30 is substantially invalidated.

Further, in this embodiment, when a hit ball enters the special winning hole 17, the special winning detector 17' detects this ball and sends a special winning signal to the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 61. Upon receiving this special winning signal, the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 61 excites the solenoid 25 of the auxiliary variable winning device 12 until a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds) set in the timer 63 has elapsed, so that the ball cannot be hit. Convert to the second state where it is easier to win. If the ball is hit within this predetermined time, the auxiliary variable winning device 12
When a prize is won, the second starting switch 3o detects this ball, generates a specific winning signal, and sends it to the winning storage means 50, so that variable display on the variable display device N9 is started and another game can be played. Therefore, in this embodiment, when a ball enters the special winning hole 17, the auxiliary variable winning device N12 converts the hit ball into a second state in which it is easy to receive the ball, thereby indirectly giving the variable display device 9 a chance to play another game. increase. Then, the signal from the special winning prize detector 17' may be stored in the storage means within a preset range (for example, 4 (i wait)). It may be possible to store the fulfillment of the condition within a preset range (for example, up to four) in a storage means (for example, a storage means after the OR gate 60).

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the conversion display of the variable display device 9 is started based on the signal from the first start switch 10 when a ball enters the special winning hole 11, or in addition to this, the first A signal from the starting switch 10 is sent to the auxiliary variable prize winning device drive control means 61, and the ball enters the specific winning hole 11.
The auxiliary variable winning device 12 may be configured to convert from the first state to the second state for a predetermined period of time (for example, 6 seconds) set on a timer based on a winning.

Further, in the above embodiment, the operation timing control means 5
2 is activated to start variable display by the variable display device 9, the speaker 6 is activated by a signal from the sound effect generating means 64.
When a sound effect is emitted through the variable winning device 5, the variable display of the variable display device 9 stops, and the determining means 56 determines that the prize mode is established (a jackpot) and sends a jackpot signal to the variable winning device drive control means 57, As a result, the jackpot lamp 66 lights up or flashes to visually indicate to the player that the jackpot has been won, and the sound effect of the jackpot is emitted from the speaker 65 in response to a signal from the sound effect generating means 64. Then, while a special game is being played, when a ball enters the variable prize winning device 12 and the number of winning balls is counted, this number of winning balls is displayed on the 10 force kundt display 67.
When the ball enters the continuation winning slot 45 and the continuation conditions are met, the continuation display 68 visually displays the continuation of the special game, and the continuation count display 69 displays the m*
The number of cycles (number of cycles) is visually displayed.

In the embodiment described above, the auxiliary variable winning device 12 functions as a so-called starting port, or does not necessarily have to function as a starting port.

Furthermore, the conditions for starting the operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 12 are not limited to the conditions described above. For example, the output of the count switch 48 of the variable winning device 13 is sent to the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 61 via the OR gate 60, and the counting switch 48 detects a ball, that is, the variable winning device 13 receives a ball or a prize. This may be set as a condition for starting the operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 12. If you do it like this,
On the condition that the ball enters the prize in the variable winning device 13, the auxiliary variable winning device M12 or the timer is set for a predetermined period of time (for example, 1.
5 seconds) to the second state.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, since the auxiliary variable winning device 12 is placed above the variable winning device 13, the auxiliary variable winning device 1
When 2 changes to the second state and becomes easier to win the ball,
Even if the lower variable winning device 13 changes to the second state, it is difficult for the variable winning device 13 to win because the ball that has flown down actually almost always wins in the auxiliary variable winning device M12. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1O and FIG. 11, the variable winning device 13 is placed on top and the auxiliary variable winning device 112 is placed on the bottom.
It may be configured such that when both the auxiliary variable winning device 12 and the variable winning device 3 are opened, the probability of winning the variable winning device 13 increases. In addition, in this case, the balls that have entered the general winning slots 46a and 46b of the variable winning device 13 are transferred to the guide gutter 7.
0a.

By 70b, the left and right tulip winning tools 14a, 14
b, and enter the general winning slots 46a and 4 of the variable winning device 12.
The movable pieces 14', 14' of the tulip winning devices 46a, 46b may be opened by the weight of the winning ball 6b to change the state into a state where it is easy to receive the ball. Continuation switch to continuation prize opening 45 of the device.
A hole 47 is provided, and general prize winning holes 46a are provided on the left and right sides.

46b each has a count switch 48a.

48b is provided, and the ball that enters the left general winning slot 46a, which functions as a bonus winning slot, is sent to the left counting switch 48.
Based on this detection signal, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 12 is converted to the second state, and the ball that has won in the continuation prize opening 45 is detected by the continuation switch 47 as a continuation condition fulfillment signal, and the left and right count switches are activated. By adding the signals from 48a and 48b and also adding the signal from the continuation switch 47, the number of winning balls in the cycle can be counted.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, when the ball enters the winning hole that functions as a starting hole, the right to a separate game is generated, and when the prize mode is formed by the separate game played using the variable display device 9, the special game is activated. Is it a pachinko machine that has a game content in which a right is generated?The present invention is not limited to this game content. The receiver converts a first state, which is disadvantageous to the player, to a second state, which is advantageous to the player, a predetermined number of times by driving a member or a solenoid. If you win a prize (V winning hole), you will be entitled to a special game, and in the special game, the variable winning device converts between the first state and the second state a predetermined number of times, and the ball or ball wins a specific winning hole (V winning hole). There may be pachinko machines (so-called Hanemono type) with game content that allows the cycle to be updated and the special game to be continued.Furthermore, when a prize form is formed in another game, a special right is generated. It may be a variable winning device or a pachinko machine with a game content that changes from a first state to a second state on the condition that a ball enters a specific right winning hole.

The variable winning device i12 of the present invention is not limited to the so-called attacker type described above, but may be a winning device that can be converted into a first state that is disadvantageous for the player and a second state that is advantageous for the player. In addition, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 12 is not limited to the so-called electric tulip type described above, and has a first state that is disadvantageous to the player and a first state that is advantageous to the player. Any configuration is acceptable as long as it can be converted to the second state, even if it is open/closed in the first state! 20.
It may be configured such that the upper end interval of the opening/closing jlE20.20 is stopped in a state separated by a width that allows one ball to pass through, and the upper end interval of the opening/closing jlE20.20 is expanded when the state is changed to the second state.

Further, the operation start condition of the auxiliary variable winning device 12 may be configured to detect a predetermined number (for example, 1 to 5) of batted balls that have passed through a special winning passing area provided on the game board 6, for example. , the special winning opening 17.17 provided integrally with the variable display device M9 is a passing chatka type, and the signal from the special winning switch 17' is counted by a counting means, and a predetermined number (for example, 5) of the special winning openings are entered. When the ball passes, it is determined that the operating condition has been met, and the auxiliary variable winning device 31
12 to the second state.

In addition, the operation start condition of the auxiliary variable winning device 12 is that the first condition is to win a prize in the special winning hole provided on the game board 6, and on the premise that this first condition is satisfied, the second condition is set in a separate game. The auxiliary variable winning device 12 may be configured to be converted to a second state advantageous to the player when the conditions are met.

For example, if you set the special winning hole 17 as a special winning hole,
As shown in FIG. 12, the ball that has entered the special winning hole 17 is detected by the special winning detector 17', and the signal from the special winning detector 17' is detected by the winning storage means 71 within a preset range ( For example, up to 4 bonds), and based on this memory, the auxiliary variable display operation timing control means 72 is activated to start the conversion display on the auxiliary variable display device 73 (FIG. 1), and the player's external operation Alternatively, the conversion display on the auxiliary variable display device 73 is stopped when a predetermined time set in the timer has elapsed. Then, the first determining means 74 determines whether the display mode of the auxiliary variable display device 73 corresponds to the prize mode, and when it is determined that the prize mode is established, for example, when "7" is displayed, The auxiliary variable winning device 12 is changed from the first state to the second state for a predetermined period of time (for example, 6 seconds) set in the timer 62 to make it easier to win a ball.

In addition, since it is possible to win in the special winning opening 17 even before the game on the auxiliary variable display device 73 ends, the signal from the special winning winning detector 17' is stored in the storage means 71 within a certain range (
For example, up to 4 items can be stored, and the auxiliary variable display device 73
It is desirable that the game be constructed so that after the game on the auxiliary variable display device 73 is finished, the signal is read out from the storage means and the game on the auxiliary variable display device 73 can be played again. In addition, if the winning storage means 71 is configured to send a signal from the first starting switch 10, when a ball wins in the specific winning hole 11, it is possible to play another game on the variable display device 9 and also to use the 2 auxiliary variable Games can also be played using the display device 73.

In short, the operation start condition of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 12 is not limited to a single condition, but may be set so that it is satisfied when multiple conditions are met, and it may be set so that it is satisfied when a plurality of conditions are met. You can configure it.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, when the gaming state becomes a preset specific gaming state, the variable prize winning device converts it to the second state that is advantageous for the player. When the auxiliary variable winning device operation start condition is achieved, the four auxiliary variable winning devices also change to the second state that is advantageous to the player.

Therefore, in the pachinko machine according to the present invention, there is a possibility that the variable winning device does not change to the second state, and the auxiliary variable winning device also changes to the second state. Even if you do not win, you can still earn profits using the auxiliary variable prize winning device.

Therefore, compared to conventional pachinko machines, it is possible to increase the player's desire to play.

Furthermore, the difference between the player's profit when the so-called jackpot is won and the player's profit when the jackpot is not won can be made smaller than before, making the game fairer, especially for women and beginners. You can also enjoy a healthy pachinko game.
