The main part according to the invention of this pachinko gaming machine is constructed as described above except for a control system described later, and is generally as follows by a control means such as a microcomputer installed in the pachinko gaming machine. To work.

When electricity is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine by operating a power switch (not shown), "J" is displayed on the left symbol display portion 22 of the variable display portion 21 of the variable display device 20, and "on the middle symbol display portion 23". "Q", "K" is displayed on the right symbol display portion 24, and an arbitrary symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display portion 100a. Then, as a display showing the normal playing state (normal state) of the variable display game, the winning number storage display lamps LED1 to LED4 provided on the variable display device 20 are alternately turned on from the inside to the outside and from the outside to the inside. Start. Further, the decoration lamp LED 5 and the decoration lamp LED 7 are brought into a blinking display state.

At the time of this normal game, the player aims at the leftmost nail 27a of the most advantageous top five nails and drives the game ball into the left side region of the game region 2 by the game ball launching device. In this way, the game ball left-handed enters the general winning opening 7 or the general winning opening 4, or the game ball that has flown as it is without entering the general winning openings 7, 4 is the specific winning opening. In the case of winning the prize in 9, the winning symbol is the ordinary symbol switch SW6 attached to the back surface of the specific winning opening 9.
Detected by.

Based on the detection of the ordinary pattern SW6,
Normal symbol display unit 100a of the normal symbol display device 100
The pattern starts to change. It should be noted that the number of winnings that have won the specific winning opening 9 and that the normal symbol variable display game has not yet been played is displayed as the number of lights on the storage display unit 100b.

This normal symbol variable display game is "1, 2,
10 symbols "3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0" are circulated in this order at a speed at which the variation cannot be tracked by the eye. Then, a predetermined time has passed since the normal symbol display portion 100a started changing, or a stop button (not shown)
After is pressed, the normal symbol display portion 100a stops its fluctuation. It is determined whether or not the stopped symbol is hit when the normal symbol display portion 100a is stopped, and for example, when the stopped symbols are "3" and "7", the symbol is hit.

As a result of the judgment, when the stop symbol is a winning symbol, the movable part 710 of the ordinary electric accessory 70 is determined.
Is converted so that the game ball can easily flow into the ball inlet port 211 and is in an open state, so that the game ball can easily enter the starting winning opening 5. At this stage, when the player operates the game ball launching device so as to cause the game ball to flow into the ball inlet 211, the game ball moves from the ball inlet 211 to the ball guide path 21.
4 to flow out from the ball outlet 224 (see FIG. 8) and fall on the ball guiding member 315. Then, the game ball is guided by the ball guiding member 315 so as to be easily inserted into the starting winning port 4 (details will be described later). The ordinary electric accessory 70
The movable part 710 is designed to maintain an open state for a predetermined period of time, and the game ball that has won the start winning opening 4 in the open state is detected by the start winning detection switch SW1 installed in the internal path. The variable display device 2
The winning number memory display lamps LED1 to LED0 of 0 are turned on by the number of winning numbers. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time, one of the winning number memory display lamps LED1 to LED4 which is turned on is turned off, and the variable display game by the variable display device 20 is started. Thus, the variable display game is started depending on the result of the normal variable display game, so that the player can intensively enjoy the normal variable display game until the variable display game is started.

In the variable display game, the card display patterns of the three symbol display sections 22, 23, and 24 of the variable display section 21 are changed so as to be turned one after another, and in a state of being turned over after a lapse of a predetermined time. It is performed as a symbol variation game in which the variation is stopped. For example,
First, the left symbol display portion 22 of the variable display portion 21 informs the player of the start of the game, so that the stop symbol before the game starts is slowly changed to one revolution. For example, when the symbol before the game starts is "1", the symbol is changed from "1" to "2" while the playing cards are turned. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, "1" is displayed in a state where the card display portion 22a of the first layer pattern 25 is completely turned over. Second
The back card display portion 22b of the layer pattern 26 is displayed as a back view of the card that is being turned over, and then the front card display portion 22c is displayed as a front view that is turned up halfway, and finally the card display portion 22a is displayed. "2" will be displayed in a completely flipped state. In this way, a fluctuation cycle is formed in which the card display section, the back card display section, the front card display section, and the card display section are displayed in this order.
While playing cards one after another, the design is "1" to "2", "2" to "3", "3" to "4" ...
It cyclically fluctuates from “A” to “P” and from “P” to “1”. The changing speed of the symbol is slow at the start and is performed at a high speed from the middle (for example, the third turning).

After a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the fluctuation of the left symbol display section 22, the fluctuation of the symbol of the middle symbol display section 23 is carried out by turning the playing cards like the fluctuation of the symbol of the left symbol display section 22. . After the change of the middle symbol display portion 24 is started, the change of the symbol of the right symbol display portion 24 is started after a predetermined time has elapsed. The fluctuations of the symbols on the right symbol display section 24 are performed by turning the playing cards as well as the fluctuations of the left symbol display section 22 and the middle symbol display section 23.
In this variable display game, the variable display lamps L3 and L4 start blinking in addition to the decorative lamps LED5 and LED7 that were operating in the normal game.

Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time from the start of the change of the left symbol display portion 22 or after the stop button (not shown) is pressed, the left symbol display portion 22 first stops its fluctuation. The mode of stopping the fluctuation is such that the fluctuation becomes gentle from the symbol (for example, the symbol two symbols before) somehow before the halt and is stopped. For example, when the stop symbol is "0", the fluctuation before displaying "8", which is the symbol two before "0", is a fast cycle, and after displaying "8", it is a slow cycle. To do. And
"0" is displayed on the card display portion 22a and the left symbol display portion 2 is displayed.
The fluctuation of 2 stops. After the left symbol display unit 22 is stopped, the variation of the symbols of the middle symbol display unit 23 is stopped in the same manner as the variation stop mode of the left symbol display unit 22.

At the time when the variation of the symbols of the middle symbol display portion 23 is stopped, if the stop symbol of the middle symbol display portion 23 does not match the stop symbol of the left symbol display portion 22 (the possibility of occurrence of special game) There is not a reach state), after the stop of the middle symbol, promptly, the stop of the symbol fluctuation of the right symbol display portion 24 is performed in the same manner as the stop of the fluctuation of the left symbol and the middle symbol. And each lamp (LED5, L
ED7, L3, L4) are extinguished, and a disconnection display is performed. However, if they match (in the reach state), the display on the right symbol display unit 24 fluctuates and stops so as to turn at a slow speed (for example, 420 msec per one fluctuation cycle). When the reach is reached, the decorative lamp LED 6 and the hit indicator lamp 10 are also displayed blinking. When the right symbol is stopped, the variable display game is a winning mode, for example, when the three symbols at the time of stopping are the same, a "big hit" becomes a big hit game (special game).

Here, the "big hit" 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 winning device 50 is used.
1 cycle of opening for a predetermined time (for example, 29 seconds) (however, the variable winning device 5
A certain number of game balls (for example, 10
When each prize is won, the opening up to that point is defined as one cycle), and during each cycle, the game ball flows into the continuous winning hole 54 in the special winning hole 53 of the variable winning device 50, and the continuous winning detection switch therein. For example, up to 16 cycles are continuously performed with the detection of SW3 as a continuation condition (cycle update condition).

By the way, during the special game of the variable display game, since the nail on the right side of the game area 2 is specially arranged as described above, it is more advantageous for the player to hit the right side. That is, if the player operates the launching device so that the game ball collides with the cushioning member 15 along the inside of the guardrail 3, the launched game ball inelastically collides with the cushioning member 15 and is almost vertical. Is dropped into the game area 2 and is guided to the special winning opening 8 while being regulated in the downward direction by the downward direction regulating nail groups 17, 19A or the like, or further downward direction regulating nail groups 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d, 18d. It is guided to the special winning opening 53 of the variable winning device 50 while being regulated in the downward direction. By this right striking, many game balls can be efficiently won in the special winning opening 53 or the special winning opening 8 in a short time, and as a result, the number of hit balls is subtracted from the number of winning balls. The more balls you have at hand, the more you can get.

In the first cycle of the special game, the open state of the door 51 of the variable winning device 50 is kept for a predetermined time (for example, 2).
When a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are won in the special winning opening 53 of the variable winning device 50 before 9 seconds have passed or before the predetermined time has passed, the door 51 at that point
Will be closed. When a game ball is won in the continuous winning hole 54 during the special game of the first cycle, the special game of the second cycle is performed after a predetermined interval, and the special game is performed up to 16 times. It is supposed to be.

At the stage when a big hit occurs in the variable display game, each lamp (LED5, LED5, etc.) installed in the game area 2

It is connected to 13. Ordinary symbol display control means 41
9, a normal symbol display portion 100a is connected to the normal electric auditors product control means 422, SOLB and a normal electric auditors product display lamp L7, respectively.

Next, among various controls carried out based on the control system configured as described above, it relates to a normal symbol variable display game from when the game ball wins the specific winning opening 9 to when a "hit" occurs. Control and normal symbol variable display Based on the hit result of the game, the movable part 710 of the ordinary electric auditors product 70 is opened and the variable display from the time the game ball wins the starting winning opening 5 until the "big hit" occurs. The control regarding the game will be described in detail.

In the control system having the above structure, when the power is turned on and the gaming machine is in a normal operating state,
An arbitrary symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display unit 100a, and an initial symbol display is displayed on the variable display unit 21 of the variable display device 20, for example, "J" on the left symbol display unit 22 and "on the middle symbol display unit 23". “Q” and “K” are displayed on the right symbol display portion 24, respectively. As a result of the player left-handing so that the game ball flows into the left area of the game area 2 in this state, when the game ball wins the specific winning opening 9, the winning is detected by the normal symbol switch SW6. Then, the normal symbol variable display game is executed by the following control.

First, the detection signal from the normal symbol switch SW6 is sent to the specific winning storage means 413, and the specific winning storage means 413 determines the number of winning balls won in the specific winning opening 9 based on the detection signal. Addition is performed, and the added value is stored within a predetermined limit (for example, maximum value "4"). The added value thus stored is inputted with the game start signal sent from the normal symbol display operation timing control means 418 (the signal is generated every time the normal symbol variable display game is performed once). Each time 1 is subtracted, the 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 repeatedly executed until the subtraction value becomes "0". . The specific winning storage means 413 stores the random number selection means 4
The winning storage signal is output to 16 and the winning storage signal is also output to the storage display unit 100b, and one LED of the storage display unit 100b is turned on based on the winning storage signal.

The random number selection means 416 picks up a random number from the random number means 414 each time the signal (winning memory signal) from the specific winning storage means 413 is input, and the winning memory signal from the specific winning storage means 413 is picked up. The random number is stored in association with.

The normal symbol display operation timing control means 418, to which the subtraction value signal from the specific winning storage means 413 is input, 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 unit 100a, and based on the variable start signal, the normal symbol display unit 100
The display of a starts to change. The normal pattern display section 100
The normal symbol display operation timing control means 418 outputs a timing signal to the random number selection means 416 when a predetermined time elapses after the symbol a starts changing. Then, the random number selection means 41 based on the timing signal.
6 determines the display symbol based on the random number stored in association with the winning storage signal.

When the random number selecting means 416 outputs the display symbol signal to the symbol comparing means 420, the symbol comparing means 420 normally displays the display symbol signal and the symbol display portion 1
Ordinary symbol display control means 41 for controlling the fluctuation of 00a
Based on the variable symbol signal from 9, the stop symbol and the variable symbol are compared. Then, based on the result of the comparison, the symbol comparison means 420 determines the number of feed pieces up to the display symbol, and sends the feed piece number signal to the normal symbol display operation timing control means 41.
Output to 8. The normal symbol display operation timing control means 418 outputs a control signal to the normal symbol display control means 419 in order to stop the varying symbols on the basis of the feed frame number signal at the display symbols.

Based on the control signal, the normal symbol display control means 419 outputs a variable stop signal to the normal symbol display portion 100a in order to stop the changing symbol in the display symbol, and based on the variable stop signal. Normally, the variable symbol display portion 100a stops at the display symbol. The normal symbol display control means 419 also sends the control signal to the normal symbol determination means 417.

Normal symbol determination means 4 based on the control signal
17 is the normal symbol display operation timing control means 418
When the determination request signal is input from, it is determined whether or not the stop symbol is hit. As a result of this determination, in the case of a hit (when the stop symbol is 3 or 7), the normal symbol determination means 417 outputs a hit signal to the normal electric auditors product control means 422.
Send to. The ordinary electric accessory control means 422 sends a solenoid signal to the solenoid SOLB on the basis of the hit signal to rotate the movable portion 710 counterclockwise via the shaft 710a to control the open state. As a result, the game ball is easily made to flow into the ball inflow port 211 of the variable display device 20.

At this point, the player inserts the game ball into the ball inlet 21.
When the game ball launching device is operated to enter the ball 1 and the game ball wins the ball inlet 211, the game ball passes through the ball guiding path 214, the warp inlet 223, the warp outlet 224, and the ball guiding member 315. The probability of winning the start winning opening 5 located directly below the variable display device 20 increases. On the other hand, the normal symbol determination means 417 sends a determination end signal to the normal symbol display operation timing control means 418. Then, the normal electric auditors product 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 time has passed.
The normal symbol display operation timing control means 418 controls the normal symbol display device 100 to start the next normal symbol variable display game based on the game end signal.

When a game ball wins the starting winning opening 5,
The winning is detected by the starting winning detection switch SW1, and the starting detection signal of the winning is sent to the winning storage means 401. The prize storage means 401 calculates an added value (total number) of the number of winning balls that have won the start winning opening 5 based on the start detection signal, and the added value is within a predetermined limit (for example, the maximum value is set to "4"). ) To remember. The added value thus stored is decremented by 1 each time the game start signal sent from the operation timing control means 402 (the signal is generated each time the variable display game is played) is input. Signal representing the subtracted value (subtraction value signal)
Is sent to the operation timing control means 402, and the variable display game is repeatedly played until the subtraction value becomes "0". Based on the subtraction value signal, the operation timing control means 402 first outputs a variable start signal to the variation timing varying means 403.

The variation timing varying means 403 which has received the variable start signal sends a variation signal for varying the stop symbol before the start of the game and the next symbol in a variation cycle of 280 msec to the variable display control means 406. The variable display control means 406 outputs a display control command signal to the left symbol display portion 22 based on the fluctuation signal. As a result, the left symbol display unit 22 of the variable display unit 21 varies in the 280 msec cycle only for the first two symbols from the variation start. Then, the variation timing varying means 403 first sets the variation timing of the symbol to 180 when the symbol of the third frame is displayed from the start of variation.
A fluctuation signal is output to the variable display control means 406 so as to change to a fluctuation cycle of m seconds. And the variable display control means 406 outputs a display control command signal to the left symbol display portion 22 based on the fluctuation signal, and varies the symbols after the first two symbols in 180 msec cycle based on the display control command signal. become.

After the left symbol display section 22 starts changing, when a predetermined time has elapsed, the operation timing control means 402 sends a variable start signal to the changing timing changing means 404. And similarly to the control for the left symbol display unit 22, the variable display control means 407 that has received the variable start signal starts the fluctuation of the 280 msec cycle only for the first two symbols of the middle symbol display unit 23. Then, based on the fluctuation signal of the fluctuation timing varying means 404, the middle symbol display portion 23 will continue to fluctuate in a cycle of 180 msec. The operation timing control unit 402 causes the variation timing changing unit 405 when a predetermined time elapses after the middle symbol display unit 23 starts changing.
To the variable start signal. And similarly to the control for the left symbol display section 22, the variable display control means 408 that has received the variable start signal is the first 2 of the right symbol display section 24.
Only the design starts the fluctuation of the 280 msec cycle. After that, the variable display control means 408 on the basis of the variation signal of the variation timing varying means 405, the right symbol display section 24.
Will continue to change in a cycle of 180 msec.
Then, after a predetermined time has passed since the left symbol display unit 22 started to change (about 4000 msec in this embodiment), the operation timing control unit 402 outputs a variable stop signal to the change timing changing unit 403. ..

The variable timing control means 403 which has received the signal changes the left symbol display portion 22 which is changing in a cycle of 180 msec so that the two symbols immediately before the stop symbol fluctuates in a cycle of 280 msec, the variable display control. The fluctuation stop signal is output to the means 406. The variable display control means 406 outputs a display stop command signal to the left symbol display portion 22 based on the fluctuation stop signal, so that the two symbols immediately before the stop symbol fluctuate in a 280 msec cycle.
2 stops the fluctuation and displays the stop symbol. Then, after a predetermined time has passed since the left symbol stopped changing (about 1100 msec in this embodiment), when the operation timing control unit 402 outputs a variable stop signal to the change timing changing unit 404, Similar to the control for the symbol display section 22, the variation timing varying means 404 outputs a variation stop signal to the variable display control means 407. As a result, the fluctuation cycle changes from 180 msec to 280 msec, the middle symbol means 23 stops the fluctuation, and displays the stopped symbol.

At the time when the middle symbol display portion 23 stops changing, the variable display control means 406 determines the judging means 409.
A stop symbol signal is output from the variable display control means 407 to the determination means 409. At the same time, the operation timing control means 402 outputs a judgment request signal to the judgment means 409. Based on the determination request signal, the determination means 409 determines whether or not a big hit may occur, that is, whether or not the reach state is reached. When the determination means 409 determines that the reach is not reached, the determination signal is sent to the operation timing control means 402. Then, the operation timing control means 402 sends a variable stop signal to the variation timing varying means 405. When the fluctuation timing varying means 405 that receives 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. .. As a result, a predetermined time has passed since the middle symbol display portion 23 was stopped (112 in this embodiment).
After the passage of 0 msec), the right symbol display portion 24, which has been fluctuating in 180 msec cycle, is changed to fluctuating in 280 msec cycle. Then, the two symbols immediately before the stop symbol fluctuate in a 280 msec cycle, and the right symbol display unit 24 stops and displays the stop symbol.

On the other hand, the judging means 409 is in the "reach state".
When it is determined that the operation timing control means 402 is reached, 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 change timing changing means 405 first changes the variable display control means 40.
8 outputs a fluctuation signal to change the cycle of fluctuation from 180 msec cycle to 280 msec cycle. Next, a variation signal is output to the variable display control means 408 so as to vary in a cycle of 420 msec from the symbol 3 to 4 frames before the stopped symbol. As a result, after the middle symbol is stopped, a predetermined time elapses (in this embodiment, 3080 msec to 11
760 msec), the right symbol display portion 24 fluctuates in a 280 msec cycle, and then fluctuates in a 420 msec cycle and stops at a stop symbol.

At this stage, the variable display control means 408 sends the stop symbol signal of the right symbol display section 24 to the judging means 409, and the variable display control means 406 also controls the left symbol display section 2
The stop symbol signal of 2 is sent to the determination means 409, and further the variable display control means 407 sends the stop symbol signal of the middle symbol display section 23 to the determination means 409. At the same time, the operation timing control means 402 outputs a big hit determination request signal to the determination means 409. Then, based on the jackpot determination request signal, the determination means 409 causes the display units 2 of the variable display unit 21 to display.
Whether or not the respective stop symbols of 2, 23, 24 are the same, that is, whether or not it is a big hit is determined.

As a result of the above judgment, in the case of a big hit, the judging means 409 sends a big hit signal to the variable winning device control means 4
10, and also outputs a big hit signal to the operation timing control means 402. As a result, the operation timing control unit 402 causes the variable winning device control unit 41 to operate.
Various signals are sent to 0 to control the special game. In the variable display game, when the operation timing control means 402 outputs a ramp signal to the variable winning device control means 410 at the stage of entering a special game, the variable winning device control means 410 sends a display signal to the hit display lamp L5, The hit lamp L5 blinks. Further, the operation timing control means 402 outputs an operation control signal to the variable winning device control means 410 when the interval before the first cycle of the special game has passed. As a result, the variable 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 to open the special winning opening 53.

When the special winning opening 53 is thus opened and the special game of the first cycle is started, the player makes a right hit so that the game ball collides with the buffer member 15.
And the nail groups 17, 18a, 18b, 18c, 18
When the game ball flowing down along each of the nail groups d and 18e wins one of the winning openings 55 and 56 in the special winning opening 53, the winning is detected by the winning number detection switches SW4 and SW5. And the winning number detection switch SW
4, the winning detection signal from SW5 is the winning number counting means 41.
Sent to 1. When the game ball wins the continuous winning opening 54, the winning is detected by the continuous winning detection switch SW3. Then, a continuous winning detection signal is sent from the continuous winning detection switch SW3 to the continuation controlling means 412.
The continuous winning detection switch SW3 also functions as a winning number detection switch, and the continuous winning detection signal is also sent to the 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 to blink the lamp. At the same time, the continuation control means 412 sends a continuation control signal to the variation winning device control means 410, and the variation winning device control means 410 controls the continuation special game based on the continuation control signal.

Specifically, the variable winning device control means 41
0 indicates that the number of winning prizes from the winning prize counting means 411 is 10
When the counting signal indicating the number of individual pieces is input, or when a predetermined time elapses or whichever is earlier, whichever comes first, the special winning opening 53 is closed.
Output a close signal to the OLA. In this way, the special game of the first cycle ends.

Assuming that the continuation control signal is input to the variable winning device control means 410, a predetermined time interval is opened until the special winning opening 53 is opened again, and then the opening signal of the next cycle is the solenoid. It is designed to be output to SOLA.

As described above, in the special game, the series of controls described above are repeatedly performed within a predetermined cycle (for example, 16 cycles) on condition that the game ball wins the continuous winning opening 54 in the variable winning device. .. Then, at the time of the final cycle, the continuation control means 412 sends a continuation end signal indicating the final cycle to the variable winning device control means 410. Based on the continuation end signal, the variable 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 and the door 51 is closed to end the special game.

On the other hand, when the stop symbols of the left symbol display unit 22 and the stop symbols of the middle symbol display unit 23 are aligned and the possibility of a big hit occurs (when the reach state is reached), the right symbol display unit 24 is displayed. Change the display at a slow speed. In this reach state, in particular, the microcomputer 6
Based on the command from 10, as the reach display, in addition to the display lamps in the variable display game, the decorative LED 6 and the hit lamp L10 start blinking.

When each of the left symbol display section 22, the middle symbol display section 23, and the right symbol display section 24 is stopped from displaying, the mode of the stopped symbol is the microcomputer 61.
It is determined by 0 whether or not it is a hit. As a result, when it is determined that there is a loss, the microcomputer 61
Based on the display command from 0, each lamp is turned off as a lost display. When the mode of the stop symbol accidentally becomes a mode of big hit (for example, Q, Q, Q), that is, when it is determined by the microcomputer 610 that it is a "big hit", a display command from the microcomputer 610 is given. On the basis of the following, from the time of determination of the occurrence of the big hit until the end of the big hit game (special game), the following stepwise big hit display is made. That is, during the period from the determination of the occurrence of the big hit to the start of the game of the big hit (the big winning opening 53 is first opened), each lamp (L
1 to 7, LED1 to 4, LED5 to LED7) are converted into a blinking state. In addition, based on the display command from the microcomputer 610, each display unit 2 of the variable display unit 21.

The solenoid SOLA of the variable winning device is excited (turned on) based on the opening command signal from, and the special winning opening 53 is opened.

When the special winning opening 53 from the first to fifteenth cycles is opened, the number of continuous cycles is displayed on the left symbol display section 22 and the bar symbol is displayed on the middle symbol display section 23.
In the state where the number of gaming balls won in the special winning opening 53 is displayed on each of the right symbol display portions 24 during each cycle, and the pattern in which the big hit is generated (character portion-winning character only) is displayed. It is converted alternately as appropriate.

When the game ball is won in the continuous winning opening 54 when the special winning opening 53 is opened in the first to fifteenth cycles, the frame display portion of the stop symbol and the hit character are temporarily Alternately converted and displayed. Then the number of continuous cycles at the position of the left symbol display portion 22, the middle symbol display portion 2
The bar at the position of 3 is displayed at the position of the right symbol display portion 24, and the state in which the number of gaming balls won in the special winning opening is displayed during each cycle, and the state in which the symbol that caused the big hit are displayed are appropriately alternated. Returned to display converted to. In addition, as a continuation condition establishment open state display, each decorative lamp (L1 to 7, LED1) is temporarily displayed from the time of winning in the continuous winning opening.
~ 4, LED5 to LED7) are converted to a blinking state.
After that, at the end of the cycle, the display lamp L6, the hit display lamp L10, the variable display lamps L4, L3, and the operation display lamp L2 among the decorative lamps move and blink in this lighting order until the special winning opening is closed. To do. Also,
During the wait time of each cycle of the big hit game (at this time, the special winning opening 51 is closed), the variable display unit 2
Display symbols that have generated a big hit flash on the respective display units 22, 23, 24 of 1 and each decorative lamp (L1 to L1.
7, LED1-4, LED5-LED7) are simultaneously flashed.

Winning prize hole 53 in the first to fifteenth cycles
When the regular winning opening 54 is opened, a predetermined time elapses before the continuous winning opening 54 is won, or 10 times into the special winning opening 53.
When there is an individual winning, the big winning opening 53 is closed at that time and the big hit game is ended.

Further, when the special winning opening 53 in the 16th (final) cycle is opened, the number of continuous cycles is set at the position of the left symbol display section 22 in the variable display section 21 as in the first to fifteenth cycles. , A state in which the bar is displayed at the position of the middle symbol display portion 23, the number of gaming balls won in the special winning opening 53 during each cycle is displayed at the position of the right symbol display portion 24, and the big hit is generated. Alternately converted to the state in which the design is displayed. Among the decoration lamps, the display lamp L6, the hit display lamp L10, and the variable display lamp L
3, L4 and the operation display lamp L2 move and blink in this lighting order.

Further, the crank cam S of the prize ball discharging 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 the discharge switching signal is sent from the microcomputer 610 to the driver 65 based on the storage.
2 to excite the limit solenoid SOLC of the prize ball discharging device 810, whereby the prize ball discharging device 810
The discharge state of is converted, and discharge (15 discharge) is performed. Further, when an abnormality occurs in the pachinko gaming machine 1, only the decorative lamp L1 blinks and all the other lamps are turned off.

FIG. 23 shows a control processing procedure of main processing performed by the computer system 600 of FIG. In this main processing, the state of each switch (SW1 to SW6, MSW) of the pachinko gaming machine is input, chattering is removed, and input processing is performed to prepare a format that can be used in other phases. Phase 0 (step S10)
0), determination of whether to start by turning on the power and specific RAM 6
Phase 30 of inspecting the 30 areas to determine whether the RAM 630 is normal or not, and performing initialization processing of the RAM 630 area when the activation is performed by turning on the power or the RAM 630 area is abnormal (step S101). ~
(Step S103), Phase 2 (steps S104, S10) of performing the dual-system prize ball processing together with the output processing to the liquid crystal display panel 340 and the output processing to each port.
5) When the illegality is detected and the illegal condition occurs, the illegality detection and the illegality removal monitoring processing for performing the illegal operation until the disappearance and the input acceptance processing of each switch are performed, and the game execution step is performed according to the execution order of the game. Phase 3 (step S106 to step S10)
8), the output editing process of the lamp, the solenoid, the LED, etc., the phase of performing the process of editing / outputting the sound (step S109, step S110), and the phase 5 of updating the random number (step S111). Be divided.

When the main process is started, first, in step S100, the switches (SW1 to SW6, MS) are switched.
Step S101 after performing the input processing of the state of W)
Move to. In step S101, it is determined whether the activation is started by turning on the power or the process is continued. If it is determined that the process is continued, the process proceeds to step S102 to perform a memory inspection (inspection of a specific RAM 630 area) to perform RA.
It is determined whether M630 is normal. As a result, it is determined that the startup is started by power-on, or RA
If it is determined that M630 is not normal, step S
After initializing the RAM 630 area in 103, the process proceeds to step S111 to update the random number.

However, it is not a start-up when the power is turned on, and
When it is determined that the memory (RAM 630) is normal, output processing is performed in step S104, and the next step S
After performing the dual system prize ball processing at 105, step S10
Go to 6. In step S106, fraud is detected, and fraud processing is performed when an fraud condition occurs,
In step S107, the input acceptance process of each switch is performed,
Game processing is performed in step S108, and step S10
Move to 9. Steps S109 to S110
Then, after editing the output of the lamp or the like and editing and outputting the sound effect, the process proceeds to the next step S111 to update the random number, and the HALT state is entered. 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 process is started.

FIG. 24 shows the control processing procedure of the input processing (phase 0) of the main processing of FIG. In this phase 0, two processes are performed: stack pointer setting, refresh register value restoration process, and SW reading process. Here, the SW reading process refers to a process of decomposing the state of each SW (SW1 to SW6, MSW), removing chattering, and adjusting it to a format usable in each process. The SW information necessary for each process includes SW ON (rising edge) and SW current state (ON or OFF SW level state). When the input processing of this phase 0 is started, first, step S120
At 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 or not the switch is turned on is read, the active logic is converted from the negative logic input to the positive logic, chattering is removed, the current logic state is calculated, and the current state is stored in the RAM630. ) Store, extract the rising edge of SW, store the active state of SW in the active state memory (RAM 630), and then move to the initialization process of the next phase 1.

FIG. 25 shows the control processing procedure of the initialization processing (phase 1) of the main processing of FIG. In the initialization process of this phase 1, the RAM 630 is inspected when the power monitor is inspected and it is determined whether the power is on or the process is continued and the result of the determination is that the power is on, or the RAM 630 inspection area is abnormal. This is the process of initializing the area.

When the processing of this phase 1 is started, it is first determined in step S140 whether or not the power is on, and if it is not on, the process proceeds to step S141, where it is on. If so, the process proceeds to step S142. It is determined that it is not time to turn on the power and step S141
When the process proceeds to step S141, the RAM 63
It is determined whether or not the 0 inspection area is normal. If the 0 inspection area is normal, the process proceeds to the next phase 2 output process, and if not, the process proceeds to step S142. Then, step S14
When the process shifts to step 2, the RAM 6
After clearing 15 bytes of 30 areas, step S14
In order to shift to 3 and set the initial display value (initial display pattern) digitally, set the inspection data in the inspection area of the RAM 630 in the next step S144, and perform the random number updating process of phase 5 in step S616 of FIG. Move to.

26 to 28 show control processing procedures such as output processing (phase 2) in the main processing of FIG. In this output process (Phase 2), the process of outputting the output data edited and output in Phase 4 to each port, and when winning the special winning opening 53, 15 per game ball
When one of the other game balls is won, two processes, that is, a two-system prize ball process of winning five game balls for one game ball are performed. When the process of this phase 2 is started, first, the output data of the lamp and the LED is output in step S150, the process proceeds to step S152, and the step S15 is executed.
In 2, the scan pointer of the LCD (liquid crystal display panel 340) is updated, and the process proceeds to step S154. Step S
In 154, it is determined whether or not the scan pointer exceeds the upper limit value. When it is determined that the scan pointer exceeds the upper limit value, step S1 is performed.
Step 56, clear the scan pointer and step S
However, if it is determined that the upper limit value is not exceeded, the process directly proceeds to step S158. Step S158
~ In step S164, LC is sequentially read from the scan pointer.
The D output area is calculated, the data is fetched from the corresponding address, the number of outputs is set, the data of the LCD or the like is output to the MPU 610, and the process proceeds to step S166. Step S16
In No. 6, it is determined whether or not all the data is output to the MPU 610. If it is determined that all the data is not output, the process returns to step S164, but if it is determined that all the data is output, the process directly proceeds to step S168. Step S1
At 68, it is determined whether or not the scan pointer is 9, and
If it is determined to be s, the process proceeds to step S170, a latch signal is output, and then the process proceeds to step S172 for performing the two-system prize ball processing shown in FIG. 27. However, if it is determined to be No, the process directly proceeds to step S172. Ball processing is performed.

In the two-system prize ball process shown in FIG. 27, there is a process (steps S172 to S180) of monitoring the winning of the winning number detection switch (SW3 to 5, hereinafter referred to as a count SW) and storing the winning number up to 255. The process branches according to the control numbers of the two systems, and is divided into the processes (steps S182 to S230) performed according to each state. When this two-system prize ball processing is entered, in step S172,
It is determined whether or not there is an input to the winning number detection switches (SW3 to 5). When it is determined that there is no winning, the process directly proceeds to step S180. When it is determined that there is a winning, the winning number detection switch is determined in step S174. After updating (+1 count up) the stored number of (SW3 to 5), the process proceeds to step S176.

In step S176, it is determined whether or not the number of stored winning number detection switches (SW3 to 5) is less than "256", and the number of stored winning number detection switches is "25".
When it is determined that it is less than 6 ", the process directly proceeds to step S180, and when it is determined that it is not less than" 256 ", the winning number detection switch (S
After the number of stored W3 to W5) is kept below "256", the process proceeds to step S180. In step S180, it is determined whether or not all the winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5) have been inspected. If it is determined that all the winning number detection switches (SW3 to SW5) have not been inspected, the process returns to step S172, and the processes of steps S172 to S178 are performed. If it is determined that the inspection is performed, the process proceeds to step S182. Then, steps S182 to S18
6, the two-system control number is "0", "1", "2", "3"
Which of the above is applicable is determined. As a result, when it is determined to be "0", the process proceeds to step S188 of FIG. 28 in order to check the memory of the winning number detection switches (SW3 to 5) at the start of the prize number of the control number "0" and to control the solenoid SOLC. If it is determined to be "1", the process proceeds to step S200 of FIG. 28 in order to remove the chattering at the rising edge of the MSW (FIG. 16) of the crown cam 861 having the control number "1".

When it is determined that the number is "2", the stored number of the winning number detection switches (SW3 to 5) with the control number "2" is controlled to be updated in step S212 of FIG.
If it is judged as "3", the control number is "3".
In order to control the fall chattering removal of the MSW, the process proceeds to step S220 in FIG. First, in the processing of the control number "0", the solenoid SOL is determined in step S188.
After the ON information of C is set, the process proceeds to step S190. In step S190, it is determined whether the MSW is at the "H" level (high level) (during the prize ball discharging operation), and if it is at the "H" level (high level) (the prize ball discharging operation). If it is not "H" level (high level) (if the prize ball discharging operation is not in progress), the process proceeds to step S23.
Move to 0. In step S192, it is determined whether or not the winning number detection switches (SW3 to 5) are stored,
If it is determined that there is “Yes”, the process is directly performed in step S196.
However, if it is determined that there is no, step S1
At 94, OFF information of the solenoid SOLC is set. Thus, when the process proceeds to step S196,
Set the chattering removal time (300 ms) at 96,
In the next step S198, the dual system control number is set to "1" and then the process proceeds to step S230.

When the process proceeds to step S230, the control information is stored in the control area in the register of the RAM 630 and then the process of phase 3 is performed.

It is determined that the control number is "1" and step S2 is performed.
When the process shifts to 00, the two-system control number is set to "0" in step S200, and then the process shifts to step S202. In step S202, the MSW is at the "H" level (high level) (the prize ball discharging operation is in progress).
Or not. As a result, when it is determined that the "H" level (high level) is not reached (the prize ball discharging operation is not in progress), the process directly proceeds to step S230. However, when it is determined that the "H" level (high level) is reached (the prize ball discharging operation is being performed), step S2
The dual system control number is set to "1" in 04, the chattering removal timer is updated in the next step S206, and the process proceeds to step S208. In step S208, it is determined whether or not the chattering removal time has ended. When it is determined that the chattering removal time has ended, the two-system control number is set to "2" in step S210, and the process proceeds to step S230. If it is determined, step S2 is performed as it is.
Move to 30. When the process proceeds 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 phase 3
Process shifts to.

It is determined that the control number is "2" and step S2 is performed.
When the process shifts to 12, it is determined whether or not the solenoid SOLC is on (in the discharge state of 15 pieces), and when it is determined that it is on, the winning number detection switch ( SW3-5)
Decrement (-1) the number of memory
The process proceeds to step 216, but if it is determined that the switch is not on (five discharge states are set), the process directly proceeds to step S216. Then, in step S216, the chattering removal time is set to 150 ms, in the next step S218 the two-system control number is set to "3", and the process proceeds to step S230. When the process proceeds 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 proceeds to phase 3.

It is determined that the control number is "3" and step S2 is performed.
When the process moves to 20, the MSW is executed in step S220.
It is determined whether or not (FIG. 16) is at the “H” level (high level) (the prize ball discharging operation is being performed). As a result, when it is determined that it is at the “H” level (high level) (the prize ball discharging operation is being performed), the process proceeds to step S216 to set the chattering removal time of 150 msec, and the processing of steps S218 and S230. Are sequentially performed, and then the process proceeds to phase 3. However, when it is determined that the "H" level (high level) is not reached (the prize ball discharging operation is not in progress), steps S222 and S224 are performed.
Then, the process for setting the ON information of the solenoid SOLC and the process for updating the chattering removal timer are sequentially performed, and then the process proceeds to step S226. In step S226, it is determined whether the chattering removal time has ended. If it is determined that the chattering removal time has not ended, then step S230 is performed.
When it is determined that the process is completed, the two-system control number is set to "0", and then the process proceeds to step S230.
When the process proceeds to step S230, the control information in the register of the RAM 630 is stored in the control area in step S230, and the process proceeds to the phase 3 process.

FIGS. 29 to 32 show the processing performed in phase 3 of the main processing of FIG. 23. In steps S250 to S280, fraud monitoring processing and fraud processing are performed, and in steps S282 to S292. The input monitoring process of the start winning detection switches SW1 and SW2 is performed, the input monitoring process of the counter SW is performed in steps S294 to S318, the input monitoring process of the continuous winning detection switch SW3 is performed in steps S320 to S338, and the step S3.
40 to S348 show the control processing procedure of the game processing.
In the fraud monitoring process, when either one of the counter SW is continuously turned on / shorted for about 3 seconds or more, and when the special winning opening of the special game is opened and a certain time thereafter, both the counter SW and the continuous winning detection switch are provided. If it is not turned on, it is regarded as fraudulent, and it is adapted to fraudulent processing. When the process of this phase 3 is started, the counter S is first checked in step S250 according to the routine of the fraud monitoring process shown in FIG.
It is determined whether or not W has been input, and if there is an input, the no-count fraud monitoring request is cleared in step S252 and then the process proceeds to step S254. If there is no input, the process proceeds directly to step S254. And step S
In 254, the injustice flag is taken out, and the process proceeds to step S255, in which the injustice monitoring information is taken out, and then in step S256.
Move to.

In step S256, it is determined whether or not the status of the corresponding switch SW for which the illegality should be detected is "L" level (low level), and it is determined that the status is not "L" level (low level). Sometimes step S
In step 258, SW3 to SW5 are monitored for on / short illegality. That is, in step S258, it is determined whether the SW is illegal or not.
The process proceeds to step 266 and the fraud flag is set, but if it is not fraudulent, the monitoring timer is updated in step S260, the process proceeds to step S264, it is determined whether or not the corresponding time (about 3 seconds) has passed, and If yes, the fraud flag is set in step S266, and if not, step S266
Proceeding to 268, the fraud flag is reset.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S256 that the status of the corresponding switch SW for which fraud is to be detected is "L" level (low level), step S26
Move to 2 and monitor for no-count fraud. That is, the monitoring timer is initialized in step S262, and step S2
In step 64, it is determined whether or not the corresponding time (about 29 seconds plus 1.9 seconds) has elapsed, and if so, step S2
The illegal flag is set at 66, and if not elapsed, the process proceeds to step S268, and the illegal flag is reset.
After that, the process proceeds to step S270, and it is determined whether or not all fraud monitoring is completed. If it is completed, the process proceeds to step S272, but if not completed, the process returns to step S256 and the loop of steps S256 to S270 is repeated and completed. When it is determined, the process proceeds to step S272 to store the injustice flag, and then the process proceeds to step S274. In step S274, it is determined whether there is any injustice. As a result, if it is determined that there is no injustice, the process proceeds to step S282 in FIG. However, if it is determined that there is fraud, then the flow shifts to step S276 to perform fraud processing.

Then, in steps S276 to S280, the process of updating the illegal timer is performed.
In order to perform sound output control, the process proceeds to S542 of FIG. 55, after sequentially performing the process of blinking every s period and the process of turning off the outputs other than the solenoids SOLC and L2.

When the process proceeds to step S282 in FIG. 30,
The input monitoring process of the start winning detection switch is started, and it is determined whether or not the start winning detection switches SW1 and SW2 are turned on. If it is turned on, the process proceeds to step S284, and it is determined whether or not the storage number is equal to or more than the upper limit value (up to four in this embodiment). If not, the storage number is updated in steps S286 to S290. The value of RANDOM (random number for big hit probability generation) and the addition of the refresh register, the storage of the result, and the setting of the output request of the starting mouth winning sound are performed, and the process proceeds to step S292. However, if it is determined in step S282 that the startup mouth prize detection switch is not turned on, or if it is determined in step S284 that the number of stored objects is equal to or more than the upper limit value, then step S292 is performed as it is.
Move to. In step S292, it is determined whether or not all the start winning detection switches have been checked, and if it is determined that they have not been checked, the process returns to step S282, and the processes of steps S282-S292 are performed again.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the check is made, it is determined in step S294 whether or not the jackpot is in operation. If not, the process directly proceeds to step S340 in FIG. 32, and the variable display game is started. .. However, if it is determined in step S294 that the big hit operation is being performed, the process proceeds to step S296. In step S296, it is determined whether or not the count SW has an input. If there is no input, the process proceeds to step S320 of FIG. 31 to monitor the input of the continuous winning detection switch SW3, but if there is an input, the process proceeds to step S298. To 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 in SW3 of the count SWs. If so, the process proceeds to step S302, and the number of inputs of the count SW is updated. And proceed to step S304,
If it has not been input, the process proceeds directly to step S304.

In step S304, of the count SW,
It is determined whether or not it has been input to SW4, and if it is input, the process proceeds to step S306, the number of inputs of the count SW is updated and the process proceeds to step S308, and if not input, the process proceeds to step S308 as it is. In step S308, it is determined whether or not there is an input in SW5 of the count SW, and if it is input, the process proceeds to step S310.
The number of inputs of the count SW is updated and the process proceeds to step S312, and if not input, the process directly proceeds to step S312. In step S312, it is determined whether or not the input of the winning number detection switch SW composed of SW3, 4, 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 it is not less than 0 count, proceed to step S314 10
Count information is set, and the process proceeds 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 during the valid time, step S316.
In step 318, the sequence timer is cleared, and if it is during the valid time, the process directly proceeds to step S320 shown in FIG.

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 the continuous winning detection switch SW3 is input. If there is no input, the step shown in FIG. The process proceeds to S340 and a new variable display game is started, but if there is an input, the process proceeds to step S322. In step S322, it is determined whether or not the number of continuations of the special game is the 16th time, and if it is the 16th time, it is directly step S340.
However, if it is not the 16th time, the process proceeds to step S324, and it is determined whether or not the jackpot operation before continuation based on the winning of the continuous winning detection switch SW3 is in progress. Step S3
If it is determined in 24 that the big hit operation is in progress, in steps S334 to S338, a control type switching timer for switching the control type after the big hit operation is set, and a continuous winning detection switch input sound is output. Then, the control type “11” (big hit operation for 2 seconds after the continuation) is set, the process proceeds to step S332, and the step number indicating the execution stage of the game process of the variable display game is updated.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S324 that the big hit operation is not in progress, it is determined in step S326 whether or not it is the effective time before continuing (1.9 seconds after closing the special winning opening), and it is the effective time. If it is determined that step S3
In steps 28 to S330, the output of the interval sound is requested, the control type is set to "9" (fanfare operation), and the process proceeds to step S332, but if it is determined that the time is not valid, then step S34 in FIG.
Move to 0. When the process proceeds to step S340, the initial information of the incorrect sound is set in step S340, the process proceeds to step S342, it is determined whether or not the sequence time has ended, and if not ended, step S344.
Then, the sequence timer is updated and the process directly shifts to step S400 of the phase 4 process in FIG. 49. However, when it is determined that the process is finished, the flow shifts to step S346. In step S346, an improper step number is initialized, and then the process proceeds to step S348.

When the process proceeds to step S348, step S00 (normal operation process), step S01 (left symbol rotation start process), step S02 (middle) of the game process of the variable display game corresponding to the step number in step S348. Symbol rotation start process), 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

The process proceeds to step S016 (end time monitoring process of effective time after continuation) and step S017 (end monitoring process of jackpot end operation) to perform the game process, and then to step S400 of the process of phase 4 in FIG.

FIG. 33 shows an outline of the control processing procedure of the flow of steps S00 to S017 of the variable display game processing. As the flow of the game process of the variable display game, first, a normal operation process (step S00) is performed until a winning is made at the start winning holes 5 and 6.

In the normal operation processing of this step S00, it is judged 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, start information for normal operation is set. .. Such a process is continuously performed until the input to the start winning award detection switches SW1 and SW2 is detected, and when the input is made, the process proceeds to the next left symbol rotation start process (step S01).

The left symbol rotation start process of step S01 is to perform the process of starting the rotation of the left symbol, and is continuously performed until the rotation of the left symbol is started. At the time when the rotation is started, Medium symbol rotation start processing (step S02)
Move to.

The medium symbol rotation start process of step S02 is a process for starting the rotation of the medium symbol, and is continuously performed until the rotation of the medium symbol is started. At the time when the rotation is started, the next Right symbol rotation start processing (step S03)
Move to.

The right symbol rotation start process of step S03 is a process for starting the rotation of the right symbol, and is continuously performed until the rotation of the right symbol is started, and at the time when the rotation is started, the next The process proceeds to the automatic stop time end monitoring process (step S04).

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

The stop start processing of the left symbol of step S05 is to determine the combination of the stop symbols of the variable display portion 21 and set the stop information of the left symbol, which is continuously performed until the left symbol is stopped. , At the time of stopping, the process moves to the next middle symbol stop start process (step S06).

The stop start process of the middle symbol in step S06 is to set the stop information of the middle symbol, and is continuously performed until the middle symbol stops, and at the time of stopping, the stop start process of the next right symbol. The process proceeds to (step S07).

In the stop start processing of the right symbol in step S07, the reach eye is determined and the stop information of the right symbol is set. Then, the process is continuously performed until the reach expression is started, and when it is judged that the reach expression is reached and the reach expression is started, the end monitoring process at the next reach (step S0
It shifts to 8), and is continued until the right symbol stops except in the case of reach, and when the right symbol stops, it shifts to the stop result determination processing of step 09.

The end monitoring process at the time of reach in step S08 is performed in the case of reach, and is for setting the stop time of the right symbol, which is continuously performed until the right symbol stops, and the right symbol When is stopped, the process proceeds to the next stop result determination process (step S09).

The determination process of the stop result in this step S09 is a process of determining the big hit / out and performing a process according to the determination result. If the stop result is disengagement, the dislocation operation end monitoring process (step S010) is performed. Then, the end of disconnection operation (turning off all the lamps, etc.) is monitored,
When there is no storage at the time when the detaching operation is completed, the process returns to the first normal operation process (step S00), and the step S is performed again.
The processing of 00 or less is performed. Then, when there is storage at the time when the disengagement operation ends, the process returns to the left symbol rotation start processing (step S01), and the processing of step S01 and subsequent steps is performed again. However, if the result of the determination in the stop result determination process of step S09 is a big hit, the process proceeds to the fanfare transfer process (step S011) at the time of a big hit. In the fanfare transition process of step S011, the fanfare operation is set after monitoring the end of the big hit display time (1 second) of the big hit variable display section 21. The process is continuously performed until the fanfare transfer process is completed, and when the fanfare transfer process is completed, the process advances to the next fanfare / interval operation end monitoring process (step S012).

In the fanfare and interval operation end monitoring processing in step S012, the end of the big hit fanfare operation is monitored, and the big hit operation is set after the fanfare operation is completed. The fanfare process is continuously performed until the fanfare process is completed, and after the fanfare process, the end monitoring process of the jackpot operation before the continuation is performed (step S
013).

The process of monitoring the end of the jackpot operation before continuation in step S013 is for monitoring the open condition end condition of the door 51 of the variable winning device 50 before the winning of the continuous winning opening 54. The end condition of the open state is the big hit operation time (29 seconds)
Or the count number of the count SW has reached 10. If the game ball wins the continuous winning opening before the ending condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to the big hit operation end monitoring process in step S014. Then, in step S014, the two conditions are monitored.

At step S013, when the jackpot time is over, or when the count is 10, the step S01 is performed.
5, the jackpot time ends in step S014, or when the count reaches 10, the process proceeds to step S016.

Both step 015 and step S016 monitor the continuation condition of the big hit operation. First, before judging the continuation condition, switch to SW3 to 5 during the effective time of SW3 to 5 (29 seconds plus 1.9 seconds). After checking whether or not the input has been made, the continuation condition is determined. When it is determined in step S015 and step S016 that the continuation condition is satisfied, the effective time of SW3 to SW5 (29 seconds plus 1.9).
(Sec) ends, the process returns to step 012, and the processing from step 012 onward is repeated. On the other hand, step S
If it is determined in 015 that the continuation condition is not met,
When the effective time of SW3 to SW5 (29 seconds plus 1.9 seconds) is completed, the process proceeds to step S017.

Step S017 is to monitor the operation after the expiration of the effective time, and is continuously performed until the big hit operation is completed. And when the jackpot operation ends,
If there is no storage, the first normal operation process (step S0
Returning to 0), the processing from step S00 onward is performed again. And when the big hit operation is completed, if there is a storage, the process returns to the left symbol rotation start process (step S01),
The processing from step S01 onward is performed again.

34 to 48, the steps S00 to S00 described above are performed.

Alternatively, the variable winning device 50 may be a variable-type attacker or a slide-type attacker.

Further, in the present embodiment, the continuous winning hole 54 is provided in the center of the big winning hole 53, and the winning holes 55 and 56 are provided on the left and right of the continuous winning hole 54. However, depending on the flow of the special game, the winning holes 54, The roles of 55 and 56 can be changed. For example, each special winning opening 54, 55, 56 functions as a continuous winning opening until a special game is started and the special winning opening 53 is opened and a game ball is won for the first time in the special winning opening 53,
After the first prize has been won, each of the above-mentioned prize holes may function as a general prize hole. With this configuration, the special game will be surely continued. In addition, one cycle of the special game is divided into three stages of the first half, the middle stage, and the second half, and the winning hole 54 functions as a continuous winning hole in the first half,
In the middle stage, the winning hole 55 may function as a continuous winning hole, and in the latter half, the winning hole 56 may function as a continuous winning hole. Further, in the case of a right hit, the winning opening 55 may function as a continuous winning opening, and in the case of a left hit, the winning opening 56 may function as a continuous winning opening. Further, the size of the continuous winning hole may be changed with the passage of time. That is, the width of the continuous winning hole may be narrowed in the first half of one cycle of the special game, and may be expanded in the latter half.

Until a big hit occurs in the variable display game, the pair of movable parts 510, 510 are in an open state as shown by the solid line in FIG. 63, and the cover part 510A is pushed out from the front surface of the constituent base frame 500A. Big winning mouth 53
It covers the top of 0.

Next, the operation of such a variable winning apparatus 500 will be described with reference to the control block diagram of the variable winning apparatus 500 of FIG. 64 and the timing chart of the variable winning apparatus 500 of FIG. If a big hit occurs in the variable display game, the solenoids SOL2, 3 for operating the pair of movable parts 510, 510 at the time when the big hit signal rises.
And a solenoid SOL for operating the cover portion 510A
1, the cover portion 510A is housed inside the constituent base frame 500A, and the pair of movable portions 510 and 510 are attached to each other as shown in FIG.
It is converted into the closed state as shown by the dotted line 3 and the special game is started. Then, when the winning of 10 game balls to the special winning opening 530 is detected by the 10-count SW 550, the solenoids SOL2 and SOL are converted to an off state, and the pair of movable parts 510 and 510 are opened. To be done. Then, after a predetermined time, the cover portion 510A
The solenoid SOL1 for operating the control unit is turned off, and the cover portion 510A is controlled so as to project toward the front surface of the constituent base frame 500A. The variable winning device 500 having such a configuration has the following three features.

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 downflow path for the game ball to the specific winning port 900A, and the special game is performed. The chances of winning prize balls will expand.

Next, when the movable part 510 is in the closed state, 10 or more game balls may be pooled in the movable part 510. These game balls are specified as above when the movable part 510 is in the open state. There is a high possibility that a prize will be won in the winning opening 900A.

Furthermore, since the cover portion 510A comes out with the timing shifted, the variable winning device 50
The game ball flowing down toward 0 is the specific winning opening 9
The chances of winning in 00A are high.

Modified Example of Ordinary Electric Auditor Product In the ordinary electric auditors product 70 of the present embodiment, the movable part 710 is rotated to make it easy for the game ball to enter the ball inlet port 211. Instead of such a gate switching structure, an electric tulip, the variable winning device 50

It is also possible to use a chucker and start changing the normal symbol display unit 100 on condition that the game ball has passed through the passing chucker (specific gate). Further, the normal symbol display portion 100a may be changed on the condition that the continuous winning hole 54 of the special winning opening 53, the winning openings 54, 56 or the special winning opening 53 is won. If you do this, the normal symbol display section 1 only during special games
00a fluctuates, and it is possible to expect not only the award ball due to the award at the special winning opening, but also the award ball due to the award for the ordinary electric accessory 70.

Further, for example, the game ball launching device is provided with a game ball launching detecting means for detecting the number of launch balls of the game ball, and it is detected that the number of launch balls has reached a certain number, and the normal symbol display portion 1
00a may be changed. In this way, all players can equally enjoy the normal symbol variable display game. Further, when it is detected that the difference number obtained by subtracting the number of prize balls from the number of hit balls has reached a certain number, the normal symbol display unit 100
Alternatively, a may start changing. Further, an out-ball detecting means for detecting the number of out-balls may be provided in the collection gutter of out-balls, and the normal symbol display portion 100a may be changed when the out-ball detector detects a certain number.

Modification of Normal Design Variable Display Device, etc. The normal design display part 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. Alternatively, electroluminescence may be used. Further, a mechanical system such as a drum system may be used. The normal symbol display device 100 may be installed side by side with the normal electric accessory 70, may be installed side by side with the variable winning device, or may be separately arranged on the game board.

According to the pachinko gaming machine of the present invention,
Since the second winning portion is provided in the ball inflow portion provided in the variable display game device, when the second winning portion is opened, the game balls that flow in from the ball inflow portion and flow out from the ball outflow portion of the variable display game device If the first specific winning portion is won, the second variable display game can be preceded and the first variable display game can be started based on the result of the second variable display game. As a result, both games are associated with each other and proceed in a unified manner, so that the player can concentrate on both games. Moreover, since the game balls that have flowed into the second winning portion disappear from the player's field of view and warp while flowing down the flow-down guide path, the player flows out from the ball outflow portion of the variable display game device. It becomes possible to pay attention to whether or not the game ball wins the first specific winning portion, and it is possible to provide a pachinko gaming machine which further enhances the interest of pachinko gaming.
