It is represented by adding.

FIG. 7 is a control circuit diagram of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of one embodiment of the present invention. Next, with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, an operation when playing a game with the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described.

The player uses the setting switches 19A, 19B,
When any of the 19C is pressed and there is a safe ball, the turning flashing display device 40 causes the yakmono 13a to 13a to operate.
Set the number you want to open 3e. For example, with a relatively high probability (9/32), a small number (2) of yakmono (1
If you want to open 3a, 13b), set switch 19
Press A. Conversely, when it is desired to open a large number (5) of yakmono (13a to 13e) with a relatively low probability (2/32), the setting switch 19C is pressed. Alternatively, a medium number (3) with a medium probability (5/32)
When it is desired to open the yakmono (13a to 13c), the setting switch 19B is pressed. These setting switches 1
9A, 19B, and 19C have a structure in which, when one switch is pressed, the other two switches are restored in order to prohibit the conditions from being set by pressing a plurality of switches at the same time. Used.

When any of the setting switches 19A, 19B and 19C is pressed, a high level signal is applied to the input terminals of the setting number display control circuit 79 and the judging circuit 80 corresponding to the pressed setting switch. For example, when the setting switch 19A is pressed, the setting number display control circuit 79 turns on and displays a plurality of (nine in FIG. 4) indicators 42A indicating that the number "2" is set. In this way, the indicator corresponding to the identification information (number) set by the setting switches 19A, 19B, 19C is lit and displayed.

Next, when a player inserts a pachinko ball purchased at a ball lending machine into a ball striking standby gutter 15 and operates a ball hitting handle 16 to hit the ball, the pachinko ball hit is a safe hole 12.
If any of a to 12c is won, it is guided to the safe ball processing mechanism 21 as a safe ball via the path 221. In response, the safe ball rides on the safe ball processing device 211 of the safe ball processing mechanism 21 and rotates the safe ball processing device 211. At this time, since the safe ball detection switch 212 is closed according to the rotation of the safe ball processor 211, a high level safe ball detection output is derived. This safe ball detection output sets the flip-flop 71 for storing the fact that there is a safe ball, and gives an operation command signal to the timer 78. The set output of the flip-flop 71 is given as one input of the AND gate 72a. At this time, the oscillation pulse of the pulse oscillating circuit 73 is applied to the other input of the AND gate 72a.
2a gives an output pulse of the pulse oscillation circuit 73 to the ring counter 74 during the set period of the flip-flop 71.
The ring counter 74 sequentially increments the count value by "1" each time a pulse input is given, and the number corresponding to the number of each indicator light of the rotary blinking indicator light 41 (numbers 1 to 32).
Are cyclically counted, and a coded signal representing the coefficient value is given to the decoder 75 and the decision circuit 80.

The decoder 75 has a number of output terminals corresponding to the number of light emitting diodes (for example, 32) included in the rotary blinking indicator light 41, and the time is calculated based on the coefficient value counted by the ring counter 74. A high level signal is sequentially derived from each output terminal. At each output terminal of the decoder 75, switching transistors 761, 762,
, 76n (n is a natural number equal to the number of light emitting diodes included in the rotating blinking indicator light 41) is connected.
Each switching transistor 761, 762, ..., 76
The emitters of n are grounded respectively, and the collectors thereof are provided with the respective light emitting diodes 411, 4 included in the rotary blinking indicator light 41.
The cathodes of 12, ..., 41n are connected. A power source (+ V) is supplied to the anodes of the light emitting diodes 411, 412, ..., 41n. Therefore, the decoder 75 derives a pulse for turning on the transistor 761 when the ring counter 74 counts a numerical value “1”, for example.
The light emitting diode 411 is caused to emit light. When the ring counter 74 counts the numerical value “2”, the decoder 7
Reference numeral 5 derives a pulse for turning on the transistor 762 to cause the light emitting diode 412 to emit light. Similarly,
When the count value "n" is counted, a pulse for turning on the transistor 76n is derived to generate the light emitting diode 41n.
Light up. These light emitting diodes 411, 4
.., 41n are arranged in a ring shape as shown in FIG. 4, the decoder 75 causes the light emitting diode 41
When 41n are sequentially blinked, it appears to the player that the light emitting display portion emits light in a ring shape, so that the display is rotated like a roulette wheel. At this time, the light emitting diodes 411, 412, ..., 4
Each of the blinking standard intervals of 1n is a period in which the player can visually recognize the blinking state and is selected such that it is difficult to stop at a desired position even if the stop switch 19S is pressed. The cycle is selected according to the oscillation frequency of the pulse oscillation circuit 73.

The output of the AND gate 72a is the first
It is also given to the rotating sound generator 77, which is an example of the notification means.
The rotating sound generator 77 that operates in response to the output of the AND gate 72a includes light emitting diodes 411, 412, ..., 41.
In synchronism with the blinking state, the intermittent rotation sound for increasing the effect of the rotating blinking state is generated. By providing the rotation sound generator 77 as described above, it is possible to notify the player that the turning blinking display device 40, which is an example of the variable display device, is turning blinking. However, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience of a useless game in which the player does not notice it despite the existence. The rotating sound generator 77 constitutes a variable display sound generating means for notifying that the variable display device is performing variable display.

As described above, when the light emitting diodes of the turning blinking indicator lamp 41 are turning blinking in response to the safe balls, the player sets the setting switches 19A, 19B, 1
In order to stop the rotating blinking display at the position of the light emitting diode corresponding to the number set by any of 9C, the stop switch 19S is pressed at an appropriate timing. Accordingly, the high level signal changes to the stop switch 19S and the OR gate 72.
It is given as a set input of the flip-flop 71 via 0, and is also given as an energizing signal of the solenoid 213 for returning the safe ball processor 211. In response to the reset of the flip-flop 71, the AND gate 72a is disabled, and the pulse input to the ring counter 74 is prohibited. Therefore, the ring counter 74 continuously supplies the coded signal of the count value that has been counted up to that time to the decoder 75 and the decision circuit 80. Therefore, the decoder 75 continuously lights up and displays the light emitting diodes included in the rotary blinking indicator lamp 41 corresponding to the count value of the ring counter 74.

On the other hand, the judgment circuit 80, which operates according to the judgment command signal, discriminates the number corresponding to the light emitting diode which the turning blinking indicator lamp 41 lights up on the basis of the count value of the ring counter 74, and sets it. Switches 19A, 19B,
It is determined whether or not the set value set in any one of 19C matches. For example, when the setting switch 19A is pressed, the determination circuit 80 displays the monostable multi 81A if any one of the light emitting diodes of the rotary blinking indicator lamp 41 corresponding to the setting indicator 42A lights up.
Give a high level signal to. Depending, monostable multi 81
A derives a high level signal for a certain period of time, and OR gate 8
The transistor 83a is made conductive via 2a, and the transistor 83b is made conductive via the OR gate 82b. This allows the solenoids 61a and 61
Since b is biased, yakmono 13a and 13b
Opening of the beak-shaped part is controlled. In this way, when the number "2" is set by the setting switch 19A, the stop position when the rotation blinking display of the light emitting diode included in the rotation blinking indicator lamp 41 is stopped corresponds to the indicator 42A. If it is in the position, the opening control of the two yakmono 13a, 13b is performed. Therefore, the winning conditions for the pachinko balls hit by the player are improved.

Similarly, when the number "3" is set by the setting switch 19B, the position of one of the light emitting diodes of the rotary blinking indicator light 41 corresponding to the indicator 42B displaying the set number is set. If the display is stopped, the opening control of three yakmono is performed. When the number "5" is set by the setting switch 19C, one of the rotary blinking indicator lights 41 corresponding to the indicator 42C displaying the set number is displayed.
If the display is stopped at the position of one light emitting diode, the opening control of five yakmono is performed.

The outputs of the monostable multis 81A to 81C are given to a timer 85 via an OR gate 84,
While the hit indicator lamp 43, which is an example of the notification means, is lit and displayed for a certain period of time determined by the timer 85,
A hit sound (e.g., sound generated continuously for a certain period of time) is generated by the hit sound generator 86 as an example of the notification means.
In this way, if the position of the light emitting diode displayed when the turning blinking display state of the turning blinking indicator light 41 is stopped corresponds to the preset display device, it is judged as a hit. In order to represent, a hit sound is generated, and a hit indicator light is turned on to enhance the effect of the game.

It should be noted that, although the turning blinking indicator light is turning blinking, if the player does not operate the stop switch 19S, the turning blinking display state is maintained indefinitely,
After that, even if a pachinko ball wins the safe holes 12a, 12b, 12c, the predetermined operation is not performed. Therefore, when the stop switch 19S is not operated within a fixed time, it is desirable to stop the rotating blinking display state. Therefore,
In this embodiment, when the stop switch 19S is not operated within a fixed time, the rotation blinking display state is stopped and controlled. That is, the safe ball detection switch 212
The timer 78 starts operating from the time when the safe ball is detected, and the timer 78 derives a time-up output after a predetermined time has passed. The output is OR gate 720
The flip-flop 71 is reset via the control signal and is given to the determination circuit 80 as a determination command signal. Accordingly, similarly to the operation when the stop command switch 19S is pressed, the rotation blinking display state of the rotation blinking indicator lamp 41 is stop-controlled, and according to the position of the light emitting diode displayed at that time in advance. The number of Yakumono opens is controlled based on the set value.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the turning blinking indicator lamp 41 is turned blinking in response to the safe ball, and the stop position of the turning blinking indicator lamp when the stop operation is performed is preset. If it corresponds to the display device that represents the number, the game machine that can control the number of yakmono to be opened based on the set value can be obtained. Therefore, the interest of the player is doubled. Further, since the number of Yakumono to be opened is controlled, the winning conditions are improved, the number of prize balls that can be obtained is increased, and the service can be improved. Further, when the rotation blinking indicator lamp 41 is blinking in rotation, the rotation sound generator 7 is turned on.
A rotating sound is generated using 7. Therefore, the player is notified that the turning blinking indicator light 41 has started the turning blinking display, and the player does not notice that the turning blinking indicator light 41 is turning blinking, and the game is useless. It is possible to prevent the inconvenience. Further, when the stop position of the turning blinking indicator light 41 is the hit position as described above, the hit occurrence is notified by using the hit sound generator 86 and the hit indicator light 43 as the notification means. To do. Therefore, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the player when a hit occurs.

In the above description, a number is set as an example of the identification information, a number corresponding to the set number is displayed, and when the indicator lamp having the rotating flashing indicator lamp at that display position is stopped. Although the number of displayed yakmono is controlled to be opened, the length of the opening time of a specific yakmono may be controlled based on the set value. Further, it goes without saying that identification information such as other symbols may be used instead of the numbers.

Further, in the above description of the specific embodiment, the setting switches 19A, 19B and 19C are provided to set the desired set values in advance, and the stop position of the rotary blinking display and its setting are set. The configuration is such that a predetermined value is given or not given depending on whether or not the values match. However, the setting switches 19A, 19
B and 19C may not be provided, and a predetermined value may or may not be given depending on the stop position of the rotary blinking indicator light 41. That is, in FIG. 4, if the position at which the turn-blinking indicator light 41 is stopped is, for example, 411, 5 yakmono are opened and controlled.
If it is 12, no yakmono will be opened, and if it is 413, three yakmono will be opened.
In this case, the circuit configuration is simple, and the player can enjoy a roulette element as well.

In particular, FIG. 8 is a back panel of a pachinko gaming machine 10 according to another embodiment (see FIG. 2 described above). FIG. 9 is a sectional view (corresponding to FIG. 5 described above) showing another example of the rotary blinking display device.
In this embodiment, the center handle 44 of the turning / blinking display device 40 is configured to be rotatable in response to a drop of a pachinko ball without using a motor for rotationally driving the center handle 44. Specifically, the impeller 49 is fixed to the other end of the shaft 45 having the center handle 44 fixed to one end thereof, and the center handle 44 is rotationally driven by the rotation of the impeller. In addition, the safe holes 12a, 1
A path 225 is formed so that when one of the pachinko balls that has won the prizes 2b and 12c is sequentially dropped by the safe ball processing mechanism 21, the dropped safe balls fall through the impeller on the back surface of the rotating flashing display device. To do. As a result, when a safe ball that has won any of the safe holes falls along the path 225, the impeller 49 can be driven to rotate by the weight of the pachinko ball, and the center handle 44 is rotated.

FIG. 10 is a circuit diagram showing another example of the portion related to the stop switch 19S in the control circuit shown in FIG. In the embodiment of FIG. 7 described above, the time from the pressing of the stop switch 19S to the stop of the rotation flashing display of the rotation flashing indicator lamp 41 is regular, so the stop switch 19
The stop switch 19 is used to light up and display the light emitting diode at the position corresponding to the number set by A, 19B, and 19C.
By adjusting the pressing timing of S, the light emitting diode of the rotary blinking indicator lamp 41 can be easily brought to a desired position. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to prevent the blinking stop position of the rotary blinking indicator lamp from being easily operated to a desired stop position, the following configuration is adopted. That is, the high level signal is given to the monostable multi 91 and the ring counter 92 in response to the pressing of the stop command switch 19S. This monostable multi 9
1 outputs a high level signal for a certain period of time after the stop switch 19S is pressed, and AND gates 931 932 933
Activate. At this time, the ring counter 92 cyclically changes the count value each time the stop command switch 19S is pressed, and counts, for example, numerical values 1 to 3, and outputs a high-level output signal according to the count value. Derive. Delay circuits 941, 942 and 943 having different delay times are connected to the output terminals of the respective count values of the ring counter, and the outputs of the delay circuits 941, 942 and 943 are the other ones of the AND gates 931, 932 and 933. It is given as input. Therefore, the stop switch 19S
The delay circuit 94 is selected based on the count value of the ring counter 92 which cyclically changes the count value each time is pressed.
1, 942, 943 are different, and the flip-flop 71 is set from the selected delay circuit via the corresponding AND gate (any of 931 to 933) and the OR gate 95 and the OR gate 720 shown in FIG. Is.

By configuring in this way, the delay circuits 941, 942, 943 selected based on the numerical values that are cyclically counted by the ring counter 92 are determined and the delay times of the delay circuits differ, so the game is played. It becomes relatively difficult for a person to easily select the stop display position of the rotary blinking indicator light by appropriately changing the pressing timing of the stop switch 19S. Therefore, since the stop display position is stopped at a certain position by chance, regardless of the superiority or inferiority of the game technique, a certain value (for example, the opening of yakmono) can be given to the player evenly.
