You can (H) Purchase request sound This is a sound emitted to prompt the player to purchase a game ball when the player has a small number of balls. And a purchase request detector 800a for detecting that the number of balls held is below a predetermined level
Is connected to the auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800. (I) Unauthorized card sound This is a sound output when an unauthorized card is detected by the card reader 210.

The above-mentioned auxiliary function information sounds have the following priorities set and are emitted in accordance with these priorities. [Rank 1] Unauthorized card sound [Rank 2] Ball lending discharge sound, prize ball discharge sound, card return sound,
Purchase request sound [Rank 3] Card insertion sound, card ejection sound [Rank 4] Card return SW sound, purchase sound

The priority order is controlled by the auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800 as follows. First, when a low priority sound is output (for example, a purchase sound of rank 4), an output request signal of a higher priority (for example, a prize ball discharge sound of rank 2) is set to the auxiliary function information sound generation order. When the means 800 makes an input, a higher priority ball discharge sound is prioritized, and vocalization of an auxiliary function information sound of lower priority is stopped. On the other hand, if a request to output a purchase sound of rank 4 with a lower priority is output when the prize ball emission sound of rank 2 is output, the request is ignored and the purchase sound is not emitted and continues. Then, the rank 2 prize ball discharge sound is output. Further, when there is a sound output request of the same rank, all of these auxiliary function information sounds are emitted.

The above control contents will be described with reference to the detailed block diagram of the auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800. As shown in FIG. 7, the auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800 is connected to output request means for requesting the output of the auxiliary function information sound. Specifically, it monitors whether the card reader 210 is connected and an unauthorized card is used, monitors whether the card is in the zero-reset state, and monitors whether the card is inserted.

And is sent to the sound output request control means 801 which will be described later.

Next, the types of game information sounds and their control contents will be described. The types of game information sounds are as follows. (A) Unauthorized processing sound This is a sound output when an unauthorized activity is performed, and is considered to be an unauthorized activity when any of the following conditions is detected. (A) When the count switch 951 (see FIG. 9) is continuously turned on for a predetermined time (for example, 2.898 seconds) or more. (B) When the count switch 951 is short-circuited for a predetermined time or longer. (C) The time obtained by adding the time set in the timer during the special game and the predetermined time in which the ball can be detected (for example, 23.55 seconds +
If the count switch 951 never turns on once every 1.95 seconds. (D) The case where the count switch 951 is not turned on within a predetermined time (for example, 2.9 seconds) required for the downstream flow after the continuation switch 952 is turned on while the variable winning device 950 is being converted to the second state advantageous to the player. In the fraud removal monitoring, the variable winning device 950 is forcibly returned to the first state, which is disadvantageous to the player, a lamp (for example, a lamp on the front frame) is flashed somewhere, and an illegal sound is generated. Or, after performing processing such as turning off other lamps and LEDs, monitoring is performed until all causes of fraud are eliminated. If the cause of the fraud remains, the fraudulent sound is generated under the control of the electric control means (FIG. 9) described later,
When all the causes of fraud are removed, the game is restored from the point of interruption, the fraudulent sound is stopped, and the game is continued.

(B) Variable display device operating sound This is a game information sound generated while the display 901 of the variable display device 900 is performing variable display. Therefore, when the player hears this variable display device operating sound, he or she can recognize that the variable display device 900 is performing variable display. (C) Starting mouth winning sound A game information sound generated on condition that the ball enters the starting winning holes 902, 903, 904 (not shown) and the starting winning detection SWs 905, 906, 907 detect the ball,
If the winning memory exceeds a predetermined number (for example, four), it does not occur even if a winning is made in the starting winning openings 902, 903, 904. Therefore, when the player hears this starting mouth winning sound,
Aurally recognizes that the ball will enter the start port and then the variable display 900 will operate.

(D) Special game state sound (second sound effect) This is a game information sound until the special game ends after the right to the special game is generated. As the special game state sound, five kinds of sounds are prepared as shown in FIG. 8 in this embodiment so that the player can understand the progress state of the special game. (A) Fanfare sound This is a game information sound that informs the player that the right to play the special game has been generated. After the right to play the special game, the variable winning device 950 converts the state from the first state to the second state. It is played before the special game of the cycle starts. Therefore, when the player hears this fanfare sound, he / she is audibly aware that the right to the special game is generated, and then the variable winning device 950 will be converted into the second state and a large number of balls will be won. (B) First semitone In each cycle, the variable winning a prize device 950 is sounded after the conversion to the second state until the continuation switch 952 detects a ball. Therefore, when the player hears the first half tone, he / she recognizes that the variable winning device 950 has changed to the second state, and also auditorily recognizes that the ball has not entered the continuous winning port (not shown). . (C) Second half sound In each cycle, the sound is emitted from the time when the continuation switch 952 detects the ball until the variable winning device 950 returns to the first state. Therefore, when the player hears the latter half sound, the player perceives that the ball enters the continuous winning opening, the cycle is updated, and the special game is continued. (D) Interval sound After the variable winning device 950 returns from the second state to the first state and ends the cycle, the next cycle is started and the variable winning device 950 converts from the first state to the second state. Sounded in between. Therefore, when the player hears this interval sound, the variable winning device 950 is currently the first
Recognize by hearing that you have returned to the state and are not accepting the ball. (E) Final cycle sound It sounds continuously during the special game of the final cycle. Therefore, when the player hears this final cycle sound, the cycle is not updated even if the ball enters the continuous winning opening, and the player recognizes through hearing that the special game is all finished at the end of the cycle.

(E) Variable prize winning device winning sound A ball is won in the variable winning device 950 during the special game, and is sounded when the count switch 951 detects the ball. Therefore, when the player hears the sound of the variable winning device, he / she auditorily recognizes that the ball has won the variable winning device 950. (F) Missing sound Even if the variable display device 900 stops the variable display, the resulting mode does not form the prize mode, and is sounded when a so-called missing is generated. Therefore, when the player hears this lost sound, he / she auditorily recognizes that the prize mode on the variable display device 900 has not been formed.

(G) Display stop sound Each display device 901a, 901b, 9 of the variable display device 900
01c is a game information sound emitted when each stops. Therefore, every time the player hears this display stop sound, he or she can visually recognize that the display devices 901a, 901b, and 901c have stopped, and can visually confirm the stopped numbers. (H) Reach sound Display of display 901a of variable display device 900 and display 9
It is a game information sound emitted when the stop display of 01b has the same number. Therefore, when the player hears this reach sound, he / she audibly recognizes that the two stop displays are already in place, that is one step before the prize mode, and that the stop mode of the last display 901c forms the prize mode. be able to.

(I) Specified sphere detector passage sound Emitted when the sphere passage detector 972 detects this sphere after passing through a passage chucker (not shown) as a specific winning opening which is a specific area. Be done. Therefore, when the player hears this specific ball detector passing sound, the ball passes through the passing chucker and then the auxiliary variable display (also called auxiliary display) 971.
Audibly recognizes that the variable display is performed. (J) Auxiliary display operating sound This is a game information sound emitted while the auxiliary display 971 is operating and performing variable display. Therefore, when the player hears the auxiliary display operating sound, the player can visually confirm that the auxiliary display is performing variable display. (K) Auxiliary Display Atelier Sound This is a game information sound emitted when a prize mode is formed in the game by the auxiliary display 971 and the so-called “atari” is achieved. Therefore, when the player hears the auxiliary display attrition sound, the player can visually recognize that the prize mode is formed in the game using the auxiliary display. (L) Auxiliary Display Loss Sound This is a game information sound that is emitted when a prize mode is not formed in the game by the auxiliary display 971 and a so-called “miss” is generated. Therefore, when the player hears the auxiliary display loss sound, he can visually recognize that the prize mode is not formed in the game by the auxiliary display 971. (M) Auxiliary variation winning device operation sound (first sound effect) It is continuously emitted while the auxiliary variation winning device 970 is converted into the second state advantageous to the player. Therefore,
When the player hears the sound of the auxiliary variable winning device, he / she can perceptively recognize that the auxiliary variable winning device 970 has converted into the second state in which the hit ball is easily accepted. (N) Auxiliary variation winning device winning sound This is a game information sound emitted when a sphere has won the auxiliary varying winning device 970 and a sphere detector (not shown) detects this sphere. Therefore, when the player hears the sound of the auxiliary variable winning device, he / she can visually recognize that the hit ball has won the auxiliary variable winning device 970. In this embodiment, the game information sounds such as electronic sounds such as "Pee, Hulu ~" have been described, but in the present invention, it may be notified by words or music by voice synthesis. The above-mentioned respective game information sounds have priorities (ranks) set as follows, and are issued in accordance with the priorities.

[Rank 1] Unauthorized processing sound [Rank 2] Starting mouth winning sound, special game state sound, fluctuation winning device sound, specific ball detector passing sound, auxiliary fluctuation winning device winning sound [Rank 3] auxiliary fluctuation winning device Operation sound [Rank 4] disconnection sound, auxiliary display hit sound, auxiliary display disconnection sound [Rank 5] reach sound [Rank 6] variable display device operating sound, display stop sound [Rank 7] auxiliary display operating sound

The priority order is controlled by the game information sound generation order setting means 990 in the same manner as the control performed by the auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800.

First, when a sound with a low priority is being output (for example, a slamming sound of rank 4), an output request signal with a higher priority (for example, a starting mouth winning sound of rank 2) is output as the game information sound. When the generation order setting means 990 makes an input, the starting mouth winning sound having a higher priority is given priority, and the utterance of a missing sound having a lower priority is stopped.
On the contrary, while the special game state sound of rank 2 is being emitted (that is, during the special game), the priority is low (rank 4).
Even if there is a request to output the auxiliary display Atari sound (that is, the award mode is established by the auxiliary display), this output request is ignored and the auxiliary display Atari sound is not emitted, and the special game state Sound is emitted continuously.

When there are two or more types of output requests for game information sounds having the same priority (rank), all of these game information sounds are issued. For example, if the ball wins the start opening while the special game state sound is being emitted, the start switch detects the ball and the condition of the start opening winning sound is satisfied, and the start opening winning together with the special game status sound. A sound (for example, a "beep") is emitted.

Next, an electrical control means for controlling the game while controlling the priority of the output request of the game information sound will be described. The electric control means is configured as shown in FIG. 9, for example, and is characterized in that it includes the game information sound generation order setting means 990. The game information sound generation order setting means 990 sets a priority order in advance for outputting each of the game information sounds. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, each output requesting means for detecting the output request of each game information sound is connected to the game information sound generation order setting means 990.

For example, connecting to fraud detection means 990a to monitor output requests for fraudulently processed sounds, and connecting to variable winning device drive control means 953 as special game state detection means to monitor output requests for special game state sounds. Then, it is connected to the determination means 908 to monitor the output request of the fanfare sound in the special game state sound, and also to monitor the output request of the lost sound, the reach sound, etc. The output request of the winning sound is monitored, the continuation control means 955 is connected to monitor the output request of the second half sound in the special game state sound, and the winning storage means 909 is connected to monitor the output request of the starting mouth winning sound. Connected to the operation timing control means 910, while monitoring the output request of the variable display device operating sound, the output request of the display stop sound is monitored, and the auxiliary fluctuation as the specific game state detecting means. It is connected to the prize device drive control means 973 to monitor the output request of the auxiliary variation winning device operation sound, and is connected to the auxiliary symbol determination means 974 to monitor the output request of the auxiliary display attrition sound and the auxiliary device loss sound, and the auxiliary. It is connected to the symbol display operation timing control means 975 to monitor the output request of the auxiliary display operating sound, and is connected to the specific winning storage means 976 to monitor the output request of the specific ball detector passing sound. When the game information sound output request signals are sent from the output requesting means, the priority is controlled as described above by the combination of the AND gate and the OR gate of the game information sound generation order setting means 990, which will be described later. To the sound output request control means 801.

Next, based on FIG. 11, a sound output request control means 80 which is a control means for achieving the object of the present invention of outputting information sounds necessary for a game without omission and with good timing.
1 will be described. The sound output request control means 801 outputs the game information sound output request signal based on the priority order set by the game information sound generation order setting means 990, and / or
Alternatively, the sound output selection control means for inputting the output request signal of the auxiliary function information sound output based on the priority order set by the auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800 and selecting one of the output request signals. 802, and a sound control means 803 and a sound control means 804 for generating sound elements such as preset timbre, frequency, and melody as electric signals based on the output of the sound output selection control means 802. The speaker 102B is connected to the sound control means 803, and the speaker 102A is connected to the sound control means 804.

The sound output selection control means 802 can perform various kinds of control depending on which output request signal is selected from the game information sound generation order setting means 990 or the auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800. it can.
First, in the first control method, when only one type of output request signal including the game information sound and the auxiliary function information sound is output to the sound output selection control means 802, the sound output selection control means 802 A control signal is output to each of the voice control unit 803 and the voice control unit 804, and the voice control unit 803 and the voice control unit 8 are output based on the control signal.
04 controls the speakers 102A and 102B to output respectively (hereinafter referred to as stereo output). When another output request signal is input during such control, the sound output selection control means 802 controls one of the voice control means 803 or 804 to stop the stereo output, This is a method of controlling so as to output a sound by another output request signal (hereinafter referred to as mono output). For example, when there is a request to output the purchase sound of the auxiliary function information sounds during stereo output based on the output request signal of the start mouth winning sound of the game information sounds, the start mouth winning sound is diffused by the speaker 102A. The purchase sound is output and diffused and output by the speaker 102B. According to such a control method, the player can enjoy the stereoscopic effect of the stereo sound, and can output another information sound at a proper timing.

As a second control method, the sound output selection control means 802 is the game information voice generation order setting means 99.
Only when the output request signal is input from 0, stereo output is controlled, while only from the auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800, when the output request signal is input, mono output is set. To control. When another output request signal is input during stereo output or mono output, the sound output selection control means 802
Is a method of controlling one of the voice control means 803 or 804 to output a voice according to the another output request signal. For example, in response to the output request of the starting mouth winning sound of the game information sounds, stereo output is performed, and when there is an output request of the prize ball discharging sound, the output is changed to mono output and output is controlled. When there is a request to output the variable display device operating sound while outputting the prize ball discharging sound, the prize ball discharging sound is diffused and output by the speaker 102A, and the variable display device operating sound is diffused by the speaker 102B. Let it be output. According to such a control method, since the game information sound is stereo-outputted, it becomes possible to clarify the game state and output another information sound with good timing.

As a third control method, in order to output a game information sound or an auxiliary function information sound having a high rank, the output is controlled to be stereo output, and in the case of a sound output request having a low rank, a mono output is requested. This is a method of controlling the output. For example, the game information sound is controlled to output the voices of ranks 1, 2, and 3 in stereo, and the auxiliary function sound is controlled to output the voices of ranks 1 and 2 in stereo. When another output request signal is input during stereo output or mono output, the sound output selection control means 802 causes one of the sound control means 803 or 804 to output a sound by the another output request signal. Is a method of controlling so as to output.

As a fourth control method, the game information sound is always one of the speakers, for example, the speaker 102A.
It is a method of controlling so that the auxiliary function sound is always output from the other speaker 102B.

Next, the fifth control method will be described. In the first to fourth control methods, when the output requests are duplicated, the information sound having a high priority is prioritized. Therefore, for example, even if there is a request to output a game information sound having a lower priority than a game information sound having a higher priority among the game information sounds, the request is ignored. But the fifth
In such a case, the control method of control is such that the game information sound with high priority is controlled to be continuously output from one of the speakers, and the game information sound with low priority is controlled to be output to the other speaker. Is. For example, when there is a request to output the variable display device operating sound of rank 6 during the stereo output of the auxiliary variable winning device operation sound of rank 3, the auxiliary variable winning device operation sound and the variable display device operating sound are Are controlled so that each output is mono.
According to such a control method, information necessary for the player can be transmitted to the player without omission.

When there is a request to output information sounds of the same rank for the game information sound or the auxiliary function information sound, the present invention controls so that they are output by different speakers. Therefore, the player can hear each information sound with a clear sound. The sound output request control means 801 may be integrated with the electric control means, or may be provided in the island facility separately from the electric control means. Further, the speakers 102A and 102B may be provided above the island facility. In this way, even if the pachinko game machine is replaced, the speaker or the like can be effectively utilized.

Next, the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present invention.
The control of the game performed by will be described. In addition,
Here, the first control method is performed among the above-mentioned controls performed by the sound output selection control unit 802. First, when a player inserts a prepaid card 210A into the card insertion / ejection port 211, the card reader 210 determines whether or not there is a card balance, and if there is a balance, outputs the result to the ball lending control means 320. At the same time, a signal is output from the card reader 210 to the auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800, and based on the signal, the auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800 generates a card insertion sound output request signal. It is output to the sound output selection control means 802. As a result, the sound output selection control means 802 controls the card insertion sound to be stereo output by the speakers 102A and 102B.

When the player operates the ball lending button 123, a ball lending button signal is output to the ball lending control means 320, and a game ball based on the ball lending is supplied to the supply tray 120. During the ball lending operation, the discharge operation in-progress signal formed by the game medium discharge control means 650 is output to the auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800. The auxiliary function information sound generation order setting means 800 outputs a ball lending discharge sound output request signal to the sound output selection control means 802 based on the discharge operation signal, and as a result, the speaker 1
The ball lending / discharging sound is output in stereo from 02A and 102B.

The player operates the operation dial 14 of the hitting ball launching device.
When 2 is operated, one sphere introduced from the supply tray 120 is fired. The ball fired by the hitting ball launching device enters the game area 103 through a guide rail (not shown), hits an obstacle nail, and flows down while converting the downflow direction. When a sphere flowing down in the game area passes through the passage hole of the passage chucker, the sphere passage detector 972 detects the sphere, a signal is sent to the specific winning storage means 976, and the variable display game by the auxiliary display 971 ( Hereinafter referred to as an auxiliary variable display game) is started.

The electric control means receives the signal from the ball passage detector 972 as shown in FIG.
It is possible to store up to a range (for example, up to four) preset in 76, and when a signal is stored in the specific winning storage means 976, the random number change control means 977 takes out a random number from a random number table which is a random number means. The present embodiment has a random number table A with a low probability of winning (for example, 1/10) and a random number table with a high probability of winning (for example, 1/5). The random number table described above is selected according to the signal No., and the random number is taken out based on the signal from the specific winning a prize storing means 976.

Since the signal from the random number change state detecting means 978 is "L" in the normal game state, the first AND gate 9
77a is opened, and the random number is taken out from the random number table A and is ready to be sent to the symbol comparing means 979. As will be described later, when the special game state is entered, the signal from the random number change state detection means 978 is converted to "H", so the second AND gate 977b is opened and a random number is extracted from the random number table B having a high probability (extraction). Will be). The signal from the specific winning storage means 976 is also sent to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975, which causes the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975 to operate the auxiliary symbol display control means 980 to display the auxiliary variable display 971. The variable display is performed in synchronization with the pulse of the display changing pulse means 981. That is, "0" to "9" are converted and displayed at a speed at which the auxiliary variable display 971 cannot be visually recognized. Then, when a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) preset in the timer 975a of the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975 provided as the stop command signal generating means elapses, or the player stops the switch (not shown). ) Is externally operated, the stop command signal causes the extracted random number storage unit 9 of the random number change control means 977.
It is sent to 77c, whereby the symbol selecting section 977d determines the symbol to be stopped and displayed based on the random number from the random number table A, and the signal corresponding to this symbol is compared with the symbol comparing means 979.
Send to.

Since the signals for the symbols currently displayed by the auxiliary variable display 971 are successively sent from the auxiliary symbol display control means 980 to the symbol comparing means 979, the symbol comparing means 979 compares both signals, If they match (ie,
When the symbol to be stopped and displayed), a signal is sent to the auxiliary symbol operation timing control means 975. When the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975 receives this signal, the signal to the auxiliary symbol display control means 980 becomes "L" and the auxiliary symbol display control means 980 stops the variable display of the auxiliary variable display 971 and stops. The symbols to be displayed are actually stopped and displayed.

Further, when the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975 receives a signal from the symbol comparison means 979, the auxiliary symbol determination means 974 receives the signal, and based on the signal of the auxiliary symbol display control means 980, the prize mode. Is established. For example, when presetting that the prize mode is established when stopped at “7”, the auxiliary symbol display control means 98
If a signal corresponding to 0 to "7" is received, that is, if "7" is stopped and displayed on the auxiliary variable display 971, it is determined that the prize mode has been established, and signals other than "7" are output. If it is received, that is, if "3" other than "7" is stopped and displayed on the auxiliary variable display 971, it is determined that the prize mode is not established.

When the auxiliary symbol determination means 974 determines that the prize mode is not established, a signal is sent to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975, whereby the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975 is stored in the specific winning storage means 976. The number of signals is decremented by "1", and when the stored signal remains in the specific winning prize storing means 976, the above operation is repeated. When the auxiliary symbol determination unit 974 determines that the prize mode is not established, no signal is sent to the auxiliary variable winning device drive control unit 973, so the auxiliary variable winning device 970 remains in the first state which is disadvantageous to the player. is there.

On the other hand, when the auxiliary symbol determination means 974 determines that the prize mode is established, a signal is sent to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975 to subtract "1" from the stored signal of the specific winning prize storage means 976, and the auxiliary variation. A signal is sent to the winning device drive control means 973. Upon receiving this signal, the variable prize winning device drive control means 66 receives the auxiliary variable prize winning device 97.
The zero solenoid 970a is excited for a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds) preset in the timer 973a. Therefore, the auxiliary variable winning a prize device 970, the auxiliary variable display 971
When the prize mode is formed, the game is converted into the second state which is advantageous for the player for a predetermined time.

The auxiliary variable display game started based on the detection of the game ball by the ball passage detector 972 is ended by "disengagement", or by "hit", the auxiliary variation winning device 970 is advantageous in the second state. , And the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 97 until it ends after being converted to a first state that is disadvantageous to the player after a predetermined time.
5, based on the sound output request signal from the auxiliary symbol determination means 974 or the auxiliary variation winning device drive control means 973, the game information sound generation order setting means 990 is the auxiliary variation winning device winning sound, the auxiliary variation winning device operating sound , The auxiliary display attrition sound, the auxiliary display misalignment sound, or the auxiliary display operating sound is controlled in priority order, and respective output request signals are output to the sound output request control means 801. .. The sound output request control means 80
1 is the speaker 102A, 1 based on the output request signal
02B is controlled to output in stereo. If, for example, a purchase sound is requested to be output during this stereo output, the sound output selection control means 802 controls the speakers 102A and 102B to output mono.

Next, a variable display game (hereinafter also referred to as another game) played by the variable display device 900 will be described. When the ball wins the starting winning opening 902, the first starting switch 905 detects the ball and sends a signal to the winning storage means 909. When the second starting opening 903 is won, the second starting switch 906 detects the winning balls by the third starting switch 907 when the third starting opening 904 is won, and sends a signal to the winning storage means 909. Prize storing means 909
Is the number of balls won in the first to third starting ports 902, 903, 904, that is, the winning signal is stored within a preset range. When the winning range is exceeded, the winning signal is substantially received. Process as an invalid signal. If the setting is "1", only the winning signal of 1 from the first starting switch 902 and the like is received and stored, and the winning signal of further overflow is overflowed, and the first to the third during another game described later. Even if the player wins in the starting openings 902, 903, and 904, this game does not start another game. In this respect,
The same applies to the specific prize storage means 976 described above.

When the specific winning signal is stored in the winning storage means 909, this signal is sent to the operation timing control means 910, and based on the signal from the operation timing control means 910, the stop timing changing means 911a, 911b,
911b, display change pulse means 912a, 912b, 9
12c, variable display control means 913a, 913b, 913
When c is activated, the variable display devices 901a, 901b, and 901c of the variable display device 900 start variably displaying the numbers "0" to "9" at a high speed invisible. Then, a stop command signal is output after a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) preset in the timer of the operation timing control unit 910 has elapsed, or the player operates the operation unit to stop from the stop switch 912. When a command signal is sent, the variable display of the variable display device 900 is sequentially stopped, and the variable display devices 901a, 901b,
The numbers are stopped and displayed at 901c. Variable display device 900
When all the variable displays of No. are stopped, the determination unit 908 functioning as a part of the special game state detection unit is operated by the variable display device 90.
It is determined whether the combination mode of the numbers displayed at 0 corresponds to a preset prize mode (for example, "7""7""7"),
When it is determined that the right to the special game has been generated corresponding to the prize mode, the jackpot signal is sent to the variable winning device drive control means 973.

During the variable display game, based on the sound output request signal of the game information sound from the operation timing control means 910 and the determination means 908, the game information sound generation order setting means 990 causes the starting mouth winning sound and the off sound. The output priority signal is output to the sound output selection control means 802 by controlling the priority of output requests of the variable display device operating sound, the display stop sound, and the reach sound. Then, the sound output selection control means 802 controls the speakers 102A and 102B to output in stereo based on the output request signal, and when there is a request to output the prize ball discharge sound of the auxiliary function information sound during the output, The speakers 102A and 102B are controlled to output mono.

Next, a special game which is a specific game of this embodiment will be described. When the variable winning device drive control means 953 receives the big hit signal, the solenoids 950a, 950a of the variable winning device 950 are excited for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) to open the special winning opening and convert the state into a second state in which a hit ball is easily received. . Then, when the balls flowing down the game area 103 are received by the big winning opening and win the general winning opening, the count switch 951 detects these balls and sends a signal to the winning ball number counting means 954, and the winning ball number. The counting means 954 counts the number of winning balls to obtain a predetermined number (for example, preset 10
When it reaches the number), it sends an end signal to the variable winning device drive control means 953 to end the special game.

When the predetermined time elapses or the number of prize balls reaches a predetermined number, it is defined as one cycle, and if the hit ball wins the continuous winning opening before these end conditions are satisfied (during the cycle), the continuation switch 952 Detects this sphere and sends a continuation signal to the continuation control means 955, whereby the cycle is updated and the special game is played a predetermined number of times (for example, 1
It can be continued until the 6th cycle). If the hit ball does not enter the continuous winning opening during the cycle, the special game is completely finished when a predetermined time elapses or when the number of winnings reaches a predetermined number. Further, even if a hit ball wins a continuous winning hole in the final cycle, the cycle is not updated, and the special game is all finished when a predetermined time elapses or when the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number. Further, during the special game, the operation timing control means 910, the variable winning device drive control means 953, the winning ball number counting means 956.
Alternatively, based on the sound output request signal of the game information sound from the continuation control means 955, the game information sound generation order setting means 990 controls the priority order with respect to the output request of the special game state sound or the variable winning device winning sound. , And output request signals to the sound output selection control means 802. The sound output selection control means 802
Is the speaker 102A, 10A based on the output request signal.
2B is controlled so as to be output in stereo, and when there is a request for outputting the prize ball discharge sound of the auxiliary function information sound during the output, the speakers 102A and 102B are controlled so as to perform mono output.

Further, the judging means 908 is the variable display device 90.
When it is determined that the right to the special game has occurred in another game at 0, the random number change state detection means 978 receives the big hit signal from the determination means 908 and changes the random number table used for determining the stop symbol in advance. It is detected that the game state has been set. When the random number change state detecting means 978 detects the game state, it sends a random number change signal "H" to the random number change control means 977. Therefore, the first AND gate 977 of the random number change control means 977.
When one input of a is converted from “H” to “L” and “H” is input to the other input side, the state does not open, and one input of the second AND gate 977b is set to “L”. Is converted to “H” and “H” is input to the other input side, the state is opened, that is, a state in which random numbers are extracted from the random number table B having a high probability that the prize mode is established. It should be noted that this state is continued until the variable winning device drive control means 973 sends a signal indicating that the special game is finished to the random number change state detecting means 978, and when the random number change state detecting means 978 receives this signal, the random number is changed. The signal to the change control means 977 is converted from "H" to "L". Therefore, when the special game ends, the state returns to the state in which random numbers are extracted from the random number table A in which the probability that the prize mode is established is low.

When a ball flowing down in the game area is detected by the ball passage detector 972, which is a specific ball detector, in the state where random numbers are extracted from the random number table B having a high probability that the prize mode is established, the specific prize is won. A signal is sent to the storage means 976. Then, "H" is sent to the other input side of the second AND gate 977b of the random number change control means 977 based on the storage of the specific winning storage means 976, whereby the second AND gate 977b is opened to open the random number table B. A random number is extracted from and is sent to the extracted random number storage unit 977c. Since the signal from the specific winning storage means 976 is also sent to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975, the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975 activates the auxiliary symbol display control means 980 to variably display the auxiliary variable display 971. To perform.
Then, when a predetermined time set in the timer 975a of the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975 elapses,
Alternatively, when the player operates a stop switch (not shown), a stop command signal is sent to the extracted random number storage unit 977c of the random number change control means 977, whereby the symbols are selected based on the random numbers extracted from the random number table B. The part 977d determines a stop symbol, and sends a signal corresponding to this symbol to the symbol comparison means 979.

Since the signal corresponding to the symbol currently displayed by the auxiliary variable display 971 is sent from the auxiliary symbol display control means 980 to the symbol comparing means 979, the symbol comparing means 979 compares both signals. , When both signals coincide and become a symbol to be stopped and displayed, a signal is sent to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975. When the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975 receives this signal, the signal to the auxiliary symbol display control means 980 becomes "L" and the auxiliary symbol display control means 980 stops the variable display of the auxiliary variable display 971 and stops. The design to be displayed is stopped and displayed. Also, when the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975 receives a signal from the symbol comparison means 979, it also sends a signal to the auxiliary symbol determination means 974 at the same time, so the auxiliary symbol determination means 974 establishes the prize mode based on this signal. judge. When the auxiliary symbol determination unit 974 determines that the prize mode is not established, for example, when "5" is stopped and displayed on the auxiliary variable display 971, a signal is sent to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control unit 975 to store the specific winning storage unit 976. Only by subtracting “1” from the memory, the state of the auxiliary variation winning device 970 remains in the first state. On the other hand, when "7", which is the prize mode, is stopped and displayed on the auxiliary variable display 971 and the auxiliary symbol determination means 974 determines that the prize mode is established, a signal is sent to the auxiliary symbol display operation timing control means 975 to store the specific winning prize. The number stored in the means 976 is decremented by "1" and a signal is sent to the auxiliary variation winning device drive control means 973. Upon receipt of the above signal, the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 973 excites the solenoid 970a of the auxiliary variable winning device 970 for a predetermined time, and converts it into the second state, which is advantageous for the player.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the special game state is set as the special game state, but during the special game state, the probability of winning the prize in the game on the auxiliary symbol display means is changed as compared with the normal game state. As long as it is one, the special game state may be set in any manner, and a plurality of types of random number tables having different probabilities are prepared, and "7", "7", and "7" even in the special game state. In the case of "big hit" such as, select the random number table with the highest probability, and select "3""3"
In the case of "medium hit" such as "3", the next highest probability random number table is selected, and "1""1""1" or "5""5"
In the case of "small hit" such as "5", the random number table having the next highest probability may be selected. Also,
The specific ball detecting means is not limited to the ball passing detector 972 that detects a hit ball that has passed through a specific passing gate called a passing chucker as in the above-described embodiment, but may detect a ball that has flowed down a specific area. Any configuration is possible if possible. For example, a prize-winning tool having the same structure as the prize-winning tool used as the first starting port 902 in the first embodiment (the ball is on the game board 6
It is also possible to arrange a prize device which is taken in on the back side of the prize ball as a prize ball in the game section as a specific region, and to provide a detector (specific ball detection means) for detecting the ball prized in the prize device. The auxiliary symbol display means that operates based on the signal from the specific sphere detection means is not limited to the variable display 971 described above, but what if the identification marks such as numbers and symbols can be variably displayed? It may have any configuration.

In the embodiment described above, the right of another game is generated by winning the ball in the winning opening that functions as the starting opening, and the prize mode is formed by the different playing performed by the variable display device 900. In this case, the pachinko machine sets the game contents such that the right to the special game is generated, but the present invention is not limited to these game contents. For example,
The movable ball receiving member of the variable winning device is driven by a solenoid on the condition that the ball wins the starting opening from a first state that is disadvantageous to the player to a second state that is advantageous to the player a predetermined number of times (for example, once or (2 times) and when the ball is converted into the second state and the ball wins the special winning opening (V winning opening or continuous winning opening 51), the right to the special game is generated, and in the special playing, the variable winning device is the predetermined number of times. (Eg 18
Times) A specific game state in which the ball is converted into the first state and the second state, and the ball is inserted into the special winning opening (V winning opening or continuous winning opening 51) to update the cycle so that the special game can be continued. It may be a so-called second type of pachinko machine (so-called fluffy type) in which is set. Furthermore, a special right is generated when a prize mode is formed in another game, and the variable prize winning device converts from the first state to the second state on condition that the ball wins a specific right winning opening. The so-called third type of pachinko machine may be used. Also in these second and third types of pachinko machines, similar to the first pachinko machine described above, priority is set for the game information sound,
This high priority game information sound can actually be generated from the speaker.

2A is displayed, and the player can know the number of rented game balls of each pachinko gaming machine before the game. The card balance comparison / determination unit 322 receives the card balance signal output from the card reader 210 and indicating the card balance. The card balance signal is also input to the drive control means 320H, and the drive control means 320H controls to display the remaining amount on the balance display 122 based on the card balance signal. The ball lending button signal generated when the ball lending button 123 is operated is output to the AND gate 320A, and at this time, the AND gate 320A outputs a "H" level signal (reset) from the flip-flop 320B in the reset state. Signal), and when the special game state detection signal delay means 450 outputs the normal game state signal when not in the special game state, the AND gate 320A outputs a signal of "H" level ( The ball lending signal) is output to the AND gate 320C. That is, the AND gate 320A inputs the ball lending button signal, the reset signal, and the normal game state signal to detect that the ball lending is being performed, and outputs the "H" level signal. It outputs to the gate 320C. The AND gate 320C is the ball lending number setting unit 32.
Based on the signal from No. 1 and the "H" level signal, the number-of-lending-balls signal is output to the card balance comparison / determination unit 322. The card balance comparison / determination unit 322 compares the card balance and the number of rental balls based on the signal of the number of loaned balls and the card balance signal, and the requested number of rental balls can be lent out within the range of the card balance. When it is determined that it is possible, the determination signal is output to the flip-flop 320D.
The flip-flop 320D to which the judgment signal is input
Changes to the set state, and the ball lending request signal is output from the output terminal Q to the priority discharge control means 500.

However, when the special game state detection signal delay means 450 outputs the special game state signal, or when the output terminal Q bar of the flip-flop 320B outputs the "L" level signal. The AND gate 320A does not output the ball lending enable signal. The case where the flip-flop 320B is in the set state and outputs the "L" level signal is as follows. That is, the panel open detector 107 detects that the panel 105 is in the open state, and based on the detection, the detection signal output to the game medium ejecting device immobilization detecting means 310 and the selection operation switch 124 are The front frame opening detector 108 detects that the switch-on signal outputted to the game medium ejecting device immobilization detecting means 310 is operated, and that the front frame 102 is in the open state, and the game is based on the detection. The detection signal output to the medium ejection device immobilization detection means 310 or the metal frame 104

When the game medium ejecting device 170 allows the ball lending operation to be started based on the ball lending request signal, the priority ejection control means 500 outputs a ball lending-in-progress signal to AND gate 320E and AND gate. The AND ball 320E also outputs a discharge ball detection signal that is output to 320F and is output by the game medium discharge device drive control means 620 every time the discharge ball detection sensors 730A and 730B of the game medium discharge device 170 detect discharge balls. Is output to. As a result, a subtraction signal is output from the AND gate 320E to the ball rental number counting unit 323.

As a result of counting by the ball rental number counting unit 323, when the number of discharged balls reaches the number set by the ball rental number setting unit 321, the ball rental number counting unit 323 outputs a zero signal to the AND gate 320F. As a result, the AND gate 320F outputs the ball rental discharge end signal to the priority discharge control means 500 and the game medium discharge control means 650, respectively.

The zero signal is the AND gate 320G.
Is also output to the AND signal and the AND gate 32.

Next, the structure of the prize ball discharge control means 420 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The prize ball discharge control means 42
0 is a prize storage unit 421 that stores the winning of the game ball into the winning opening based on the winning ball detection signal output from the winning ball detection unit 400, and the number of prize balls setting unit 422 that presets the number of winning balls.
And a prize ball number counting unit 423 for counting the number of game balls to be awarded when the prize balls are executed.

The winning storage unit 421 sends a prize ball discharge request signal to the priority discharging control means 50 based on the memory of winning.
0 and the AND gate 420A, respectively. When the priority discharge control means 500 recognizes the request for discharge of prize balls based on the prize ball discharge request signal, the priority discharge control means 500 introduces prize ball discharge signals to the AND gates 420A and 420B, respectively. Based on the award ball discharge signal, the award ball discharge request signal and the setting signal output by the award ball number setting unit 422, the AND gate 420A causes the award ball number counting unit 423 to output an H level signal (award ball number set). When the signal) is output, the prize ball number counting unit 423 clears the memory of the previous prize ball number and stores a new prize ball number. Then, the AND gate 420B, which receives the award ball discharge signal and the discharged ball detection signal output from the game medium discharge device drive control means 620, receives the discharged ball detection signal and the award ball number counting unit 423. An H level signal (subtraction signal) is output to. Based on the subtraction signal, the prize ball number counting unit 423 subtracts the discharged ball number from the prize ball number, and outputs a zero signal to the AND gate 420C when the subtracted value becomes "0". Based on the zero signal and the prize ball discharging signal, the AND gate 420C outputs the prize ball discharging end signal to the priority discharge control means 500. The zero signal is also output to the winning storage unit 421, and the winning storage unit 421 subtracts the number of stored winnings based on the zero signal.

Next, the structure of the special game state detection signal delay means 450 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The special game state detection signal delay means 450 stores the occurrence of the special game based on the special game state detection signal output when the special game state detection means 410 detects the occurrence of the special game. And, a timer 452 that measures the elapse of a predetermined time from the time when the special game occurs, and the detection of the special game state after the predetermined time is stored based on the signal output by the timer 452 when the predetermined time elapses. The special game state detection storage unit 453 is provided.

The special game state detection signal is output as a reset signal to the special game state detection storage unit 453, and the special game state detection storage unit 453 is output.
The special game state signal output by is output to the special game generation storage unit 451 as a reset signal. From the special game generation storage unit 451 of the special game state detection signal delay means 450 thus configured, a delay state signal for delaying the output of the special game state signal when a special game occurs is the discharge prohibiting means. 670
Is output to the AND gate 670A. As a result, the L level signal is output from the AND gate 670A, which limits the operation of the discharge prohibiting means 670. Then, the special state signal output after the predetermined time is output to the priority discharge control means 500 to control the ball lending operation.

Next, the specific construction of the priority discharge control means 500 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The priority discharge control means 500 enters a set state based on a signal output from the AND gate 500A, maintains the set state until the ball lending operation is completed, and the ball lending discharge output by the ball lending control means 320. Ball rental discharge request signal holding means 501 that changes to the reset state based on the end signal
Then, the set state is established based on the signal output from the AND gate 500B, the set state is maintained until the prize ball operation is completed, and based on the prize ball discharge end signal output from the prize ball discharge control means 420. Prize ball discharge request signal holding means 502 that changes to a reset state, drive means 503 that controls and drives the ball rental discharge display lamp 126,
The driving means 504 for controlling the display of the prize ball discharge display lamp 125 is provided.

When the game medium discharge control means 650 does not output the discharging operation in-progress signal, and when the ball lending control means 320 outputs the ball lending request signal to the AND gate 500C, the H level signal is AND gate 5
Output to 00A. If no special game is generated at this time and the H level signal based on the prize ball discharge request signal is not output from the prize ball discharge control means 420, the H level signal is output from the AND gate 500D. The AND gate 500A outputs an H level signal (set signal) to the ball rental discharge request signal holding means 501, and the ball rental discharge request signal holding means 501 is set. The discharge request signal output from the rental ball discharge request signal holding means 501 is output to the game medium discharge control means 650 via an OR gate 500E.

On the other hand, when the game medium discharge control means 650 does not output the discharge in-progress signal, the prize ball discharge request signal from the prize ball discharge control means 420 is the AND gate 5.
When it is output to 00F, an H level signal is led to the AND gate 500B. If no special game has occurred at this time and the ball lending request signal is not output from the ball lending control means 320, the AND gate 500G to H
A level signal is output, and the AND gate 500B outputs an H level signal (set signal) to the prize ball discharge request signal holding means 502. As a result, the prize ball discharge request signal holding means 502 is set. The discharge request signal output by the prize ball discharge request signal holding means 502 is output to the game medium discharge control means 650 via the OR gate 500E.

It should be noted that if the game medium discharge control means 650 outputs a discharge in-progress signal, the AND gate 500C outputs no H level signal and the AND gate 500F outputs no H level signal. If the discharging operation signal due to the Naritama lending request signal is output, the ball lending request is prioritized, and conversely, if the discharging operation during signal due to the prize ball discharging request signal is output, the prize ball discharging request is prioritized. Will be.

When a special game state signal is output to the AND gate 500D and an H level signal is output to the AND gate 500D via the AND gate 500F, the AND gate 500D is set to the AND gate 500A. A level signal will be output. Therefore, at such a time point, the L level signal is output from the AND gate 500A. This is because the special game state signal is output from the special game state detection storage unit 453 of the special game state detection signal delay means 450 when a predetermined time has elapsed after the special game state has occurred. This means that the ball lending request will not be granted after a lapse of a predetermined time from the occurrence of the state. In such a case, the H-level signal is output from the AND gate 500G, and priority ball discharge based on winning at the special winning opening of the variable winning apparatus is prioritized. This is because the opening time of the special winning opening of the variable winning device is limited, and more prize balls are given to the player within this opening time.

Incidentally, the ball rental discharge request signal holding means 50
The discharge request signal output by 1 is output to the driving means 503 via the AND gate 500H, and the driving means 503
Controls lighting of the ball rental display indicator 126. On the other hand, the discharge request signal output from the prize ball discharge request signal holding means 502 is sent to the driving means 5 via the AND gate 500I.
04, and the driving means 504 controls the lighting of the prize ball discharge display lamp 125.

Next, the detailed structure of the game medium ejection control means 650 will be described with reference to FIG. The game medium discharge control means 650 converts the discharge request signal output by the priority discharge control means 500 into a set state and outputs the discharge operation storage section 651 for maintaining the set state and the discharge operation storage section 651. Drive means 652 for controlling the operation of each of the discharge solenoids 741A and 741B of the game medium discharge device 170 based on the signal.

The discharge request signal output from the priority discharge control means 500 is output to the AND gate 650A. At this time, if the discharge prohibition signal is not output from the discharge prohibition means 670, the AND gate 650A is set to H level.
The level signal is output to the discharge operation storage unit 651. As a result, the discharge operation storage unit 651 changes to the set state, and the drive command signal is output from the output terminal Q to the drive unit 652 via the AND gate 650B. The drive means 652 outputs a drive signal to the game medium ejection device drive control means 620 based on the drive command signal, and 2 in the game medium ejection device 170 based on the drive signal.
A pair of stoppers 7 provided in the middle of the strip guide gutter 710.
Exhaust solenoid 741 for actuating 45A, 745B
A, 741B is excited. Then, the discharge sensor 730
Based on the detection signals of A and 730B, a predetermined number of spare balls in each guide gutter 710 are discharged. Note that FIG.
7, the detection signal is output to the game medium ejection device drive control means 620, and the ejection ball detection means 620A provided in the game medium ejection device drive control means 620 outputs the ejection ball detection signal based on the detection signal. Is generated and output to the prize ball discharge control means 420 or the ball lending control means 320, respectively.

The discharging operation storage unit 651 also outputs a discharging operation signal to the priority discharging control means 500, and also outputs a discharging operation signal to the AND gate 680A of the discharging suspending means 680. When the AND gate 680A outputs a discharge interruption signal to the AND gate 650B of the game medium discharge control means 650 based on the detection signal output when the panel opening detector 107 detects the open state of the panel 105, The output of the drive command signal from the AND gate 650B is stopped. The driving means 652 demagnetizes the discharge solenoids 741A and 741B to interrupt the discharge operation.

Then, the ball rental discharge end signal output by the ball lending control means 320 or the prize ball discharge end signal output by the prize ball discharge control means 420 is sent to the reset terminal of the discharge operation storage section 651 via the OR gate 650C. When output, the discharge operation storage unit 651 is in a reset state.
As a result, the output terminal Q of the discharge operation storage unit 651 outputs an L level signal to the AND gate 650B, and the discharge operation is controlled to be stopped.

The discharge prohibiting means 670 of the discharge operation control section includes an AND gate 670A and an OR gate 670.
And B. The discharge prohibiting means 67
The discharge prohibition signal 0 output to the game medium discharge control means 650 is a detection signal output when the ball shortage detector 160 detects a ball shortage, the overflow detector 160.
It is formed based on the detection signal output when A detects an overflow or the detection signal output by the panel opening detector 107. Since the delay state signal is not output from the special game state detection signal delay means 450 before the special game occurs, the ball shortage detector 1
The detection signal of 60 will be output to the OR gate 670B. However, after the special game occurs, the delay state signal output until the time set by the timer 452 of the special game state detection signal delay means 450 elapses is output to the AND gate 670A, and the ball shortage occurs. The emission prohibition signal based on the detection signal of the detector 160 is controlled so as not to be output. This causes a shortage of balls immediately after the occurrence of the special game, and even if the shortage of balls detector 160 detects this shortage of balls, the game medium ejecting device 17
Try to eject only the game balls remaining in 0,
It is intended to continue the special game.
