Based on the detection of the passage detector SW6 or SW7, the symbol of the auxiliary variable display portion 100a of the auxiliary variable display device 100 starts to change. The number of winnings that have passed through the gates 6A and 6B and for which the auxiliary variable display game is not yet played is displayed as the number of lights on the memory display unit 100b.

This auxiliary variable display game is "1, 2, 3,
4,5,6,7,8,9,0 "10 symbols are circulated in this order at a speed at which the fluctuation cannot be tracked. Then, after a predetermined time elapses after the auxiliary variable display section 100a starts to change or after a stop button (not shown) is pressed, the auxiliary variable display section 100a stops the change. When the auxiliary variable display unit 100a stops, it is determined whether or not the stopped symbol is a hit, and for example, the stopped symbol is "0", "1", "3", "5", "7", "9". It is supposed to be a hit if.

In the gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the "detection" and "disengagement" in the auxiliary variable display game are the passage detector S first.
A random number is picked up from the random number table of the auxiliary variable display random number generation means 450 (described later) at the timing when W6 or SW7 detects the passage of the game ball, and the random number is set via the auxiliary hit value setting device 810B. If it is included in the hit value, it is determined as "hit", and if it is not included in the auxiliary hit value, it is determined as "out". In the conventional game machine, the ball exit rate is adjusted by adjusting nails, which is set higher when the store is opened and set to a normal value during general business, but in the game machine 1 according to the present invention, it is assisted. It can be adjusted with an auxiliary hit value setting button 815 of the hit value setting device 810B.

In this way, the auxiliary variable display game is played under the control of "winning" and "off", and when the stop symbol is a winning symbol, the movable portion 710 of the auxiliary variation winning device 70 is The game balls are converted so that they can easily flow into the game balls, and the game balls are in the open state so that the game balls 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 port 211, the game ball passes through the ball inlet port 211 and the ball outlet port 224.
It is made easy to flow out from, to reach the guide recess 225, and to flow into the starting winning opening 5.

The movable part 710 of the auxiliary variable winning device 70.
Is kept open for a predetermined period of time, and the game ball that has won the start winning opening 5 in the open state is detected by the specific prize detector SW1 installed in the internal path. Then, the winning number storage display lamps LED1 to LED4 of the variable display device 20 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.

In the variable display game, 3 of the variable display section 21 is used.
The symbol display of the two symbol display portions 22, 23, and 24 is independently changed and gradually changed, and the symbols are changed one after another, and the variation is stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed.

Specifically, after a predetermined time elapses after 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 up to the stop is such that some of the stop symbols and the previous symbol (for example, the symbol four symbols before) are gradually changed and stopped.

Similarly, the middle symbol display section 23 is also designed to be stopped after a slight change in the stop symbol from the previous symbol (for example, the symbol four symbols before). When the fluctuation of the symbol of the middle symbol display unit 23 is stopped, if the stop symbol of the middle symbol display unit 23 does not match the stop symbol of the left symbol display unit 22 (reach with possibility of occurrence of special game) If it is not in a state), after the stop of the middle symbol, 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. However, if they match (if they are in the reach state), the display of the right symbol display portion 24 fluctuates at a slow speed and stops. 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 many chances of winning 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, in this embodiment, by setting the predetermined hit value generated by the three big hit variable display hit value generation means as the first probability means by the probability setting device 810, the hit probability of the variable display game is set. "1/200",
"1/220" and "1/240" can be set. Therefore, the gaming shop can change the probability of winning the variable display game while determining the auxiliary winning value in accordance with the business policy and securing profit, so that it is possible to provide the player with various game contents. It is like this.

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. After the completion of the first special game, the special winning opening 53 of the variable winning device 50 is closed to return to the normal game state. By the way, when the big-hit mode matches the specific mode, the special winning value determines the winning probability of the variable display game thereafter, and the winning probability is changed. The winning probability determined by this special winning value is controlled to be a high value of a predetermined value, for example, "1/20", so that the player can continuously enjoy the special game. Has become. A probability varying indicator may be provided to notify the player that a game will be played under such a special winning value, or a probability varying alerting sound may be output from the speaker 819. You may do so. Further, the winning number memory display lamp L
ED1 to ED4 are low-probability indicators, and in addition to this, a high-probability memory indicator is provided to display the number of memories due to winning of the starting winning opening 5 at high probabilities, thereby changing the probability. May be notified to the player. When a big hit occurs under the special hit value, a predetermined condition for changing the hit probability is satisfied, and the hit value is set back to the set value.

The control relating to the variable display game from the time when the movable ball 710 is opened and the game ball is won at the starting winning opening 5 until the "big hit" occurs and the special game is ended will be described in detail.

First, the auxiliary hit value is set in the following procedure. When a clerk of the amusement store inserts a key for auxiliary hit value setting into the keyhole 814 and turns the key, a key insertion detector 413 (not shown) in the probability setting device 810 detects the insertion, A key insertion detection signal is output to the variable display device auxiliary hit value storage control means 500, and the variable display device auxiliary hit value storage control means 500 is controlled to an operable state.

As a result, the auxiliary hit value setting display 816 displays a number corresponding to the auxiliary hit value generating means 1 to 3, for example, "3" when the auxiliary hit value generating means "3" is selected.

The procedure for selecting the hit value is almost the same as the procedure for setting the auxiliary hit value. When a person in charge of the game shop inserts a key for setting the hit value into the key hole 811 and turns the key, the key is inserted. A key insertion detection signal is output from the detector 413 (not shown) to the variable display device probability setting storage control means 410, and the variable display device probability setting storage control means 410 is controlled to an operable state. Next, when the attendant operates the hit value setting button 812 to select a predetermined hit value, a hit value setting signal is output to the variable display device probability setting storage control means 410, and the hit value setting signal is changed based on the hit value setting signal. The display device probability setting storage control means 410 generates a hit value signal and outputs the signal to the hit value selecting means 411. The corresponding hit value selection means 411 introduces a signal indicating a hit value from each of the big hit variable display hit value generation means 1 to 3, and a predetermined hit value is selected and stored by inputting the hit value signal. It is like this. The variable display probability setting storage control means 410 also outputs the hit value signal to the hit value display control means 414, and the corresponding hit value display control means 414 sets hit value based on the hit value signal. The display 813 is controlled to display a number representing the set hit value. For example, when the big hit variable display hit value generation means 3 is set, "3" is displayed. The setting of the specific mode can be performed at the same time by the game store as the setting of the winning value, and each knob 810a of the specific mode setting device 810C.
When ˜810c is turned and a desired symbol is selected, a specific symbol selection signal is output to the specific mode determination means 404A and the specific symbol is stored.

In this way, after the auxiliary hit value, the hit value, and the specific symbol are set, the game is played by the player. In the normal operating state of the gaming machine 1, an arbitrary symbol is displayed on the auxiliary variable display section 100a, and an initial symbol display, for example, on the left symbol display section 22 is displayed on the variable display section 21 of the variable display device 20. "1", "2" in the middle symbol display portion 23, "3" in the right symbol display portion 24
Are displayed respectively. In this state, the player plays the game area 2

First, the passage detection signal output from the passage detector SW6 or SW7 is the auxiliary variable display control means 45.
5 is output. Then, the auxiliary variable display control means 455
Is based on the passage detection signal, the auxiliary variable display unit 1
When the game start control signal is sent to 00a, the auxiliary variable display section 100a starts its fluctuation in response to the game start control signal.

At the same time, the auxiliary variable display control means 455 sends the random number selection command signal to the random number lottery means 450A. The random number lottery means 450A picks up a random number from the random number table of the auxiliary variable display random number generation means 450 corresponding to the random number selection command signal, generates the lottery random number signal, and outputs it to the auxiliary variable display hit determination means 453. On the other hand, the auxiliary variable display hit judging means 453 introduces a signal indicating the auxiliary hit value selected by the auxiliary hit value selecting means 501, and the random number picked up based on the signal is included in the auxiliary hit value. It is determined whether or not there is a hit.

As a result, the random number which is the auxiliary hit value of the auxiliary hit value generating means 2 and which is transmitted by the lottery random number signal output from the random number lottery means 450A is “20 to 2”.
9 ”, the auxiliary variable display hit determination means 453 generates a hit signal and outputs the relevant hit signal to the auxiliary variable display control means 455. On the other hand, if it is “disengagement”, a disengagement signal is output to the auxiliary variable display control means 455.

The auxiliary variable display control means 455 controls the auxiliary variable display device 100 to stop the auxiliary variable display portion 100a with a predetermined stop pattern when the disconnection signal is input. Further, the auxiliary variable display control means 455 controls the auxiliary variable display device 100 to stop the auxiliary variable display portion 100a with a predetermined stop pattern when the hit signal is input.

As a result of such control, the auxiliary variable display unit 100a displays a hit stop symbol at the time when a predetermined time elapses after the symbol of the auxiliary variable display unit 100a starts to change and stops the change. Or to stop the fluctuation by displaying the stop symbol of detachment.

The hit signal is also output to the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 457, and the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 457 sends a solenoid signal to the solenoid of the auxiliary variable winning device 70 based on the hit signal. The movable part 710 is rotated in an inverted C shape to control the open state. As a result, the game ball is easily flowed into the starting winning opening 5.

At this point, the player plays the game ball with the ball inlet 21.
When the game ball launching device is operated so as to enter the ball 1, and the game ball wins the ball inlet 211, the game ball passes through the ball guide path 214, the ball outlet 224, and the guide recess 225, and the variable display device 20 is displayed. The probability of winning the starting winning opening 5 located directly below is increased.

When the auxiliary variable winning device drive control means 457 outputs a display signal to the auxiliary variable winning device open display control means 458 based on the hit signal, the auxiliary variable winning device open display control is performed based on the display signal. Means 4
Reference numeral 58 outputs a display control signal to the auxiliary variable winning device open indicator 452. As a result, lighting of the auxiliary variable winning device open indicator 452 is controlled.

Such control of the auxiliary variable display game is repeated as long as there is a memory of the passage to the gate 6A or 6B, but in this embodiment, the special auxiliary assistance is provided on the condition that a hit occurs in the auxiliary variable display game. Hit value generation means 5
Based on the special auxiliary hit value generated by 06, it is determined whether or not the random number generated by the auxiliary variable display random number generating means 450 is a hit. Specifically, when the auxiliary variable display hit determination means 453 outputs the hit signal to the auxiliary hit value selection means 501, the auxiliary hit value selection means 5
01 introduces the special auxiliary hit value generated by the special auxiliary hit value generation means 506, and outputs a signal indicating the special auxiliary hit value to the auxiliary variable display hit determination means 453. As a result, the auxiliary variable display hit judging means 453 judges whether or not the random number selected by the random number drawing means 450A is included in the special auxiliary hit value. When it is determined that the random number is included in the special auxiliary hit value, the auxiliary variable display hit determination means 453 generates a hit signal, and when it is determined that the random number is not included, a deviation signal is generated, The same control as the auxiliary variable display game is performed. When a big hit occurs in the variable display game and the big hit start signal is input from the big hit control means 408 to the auxiliary hit value selection means 501, the original set auxiliary hit value is restored.

When a game ball wins the starting winning opening 5,
The winning is detected by the specific winning detector SW1 and the start detection signal of the winning is the specific winning detection number storage control means 40.
Sent to 1. The start detection signal is also output to the auxiliary variation winning device drive control means 457, and the auxiliary variation winning device drive control means 457 determines the number of game balls to enter the starting winning opening 5 based on the start detection signal. The movable portion 7 is counted when the count value reaches a predetermined value (for example, 2).
Control is performed so that 10 is converted to a closed state.

The specific winning detection number storage control means 401 calculates an added value (total number) of the number of winning balls winning the starting winning opening 5 based on the starting detection signal, and the added value is within a predetermined limit (eg, The maximum value is stored as "4").
The added value stored in this way is addressed to 1 each time the game start signal sent from the variable display device control means 403 (the signal is generated every time the variable display game is played). A signal representing the subtracted value (subtraction value signal) is sent to the variable display device control means 403, and the variable display game is repeated until the subtraction value becomes "0". When the specific winning detection number storage control means 401 outputs the start memory signal to the random number lottery means 402 at the time when the start detection signal is input, the random number lottery means 402 outputs the random number from the variable display random number generation means 402A. The random number is picked up and stored in association with the start memory signal. Then, the random selection random number signal is output to the variable display hit determination means 404. At the same time, based on the subtraction value signal, the variable display device control means 403 controls the left symbol display section 22, the middle symbol display section 23, and the right symbol display section 24.
The change of each pattern is started in the order of.

At this time, the variable display determination means 404, to which the lottery random number signal is input, wins the random number based on the lottery random number signal and the selected hit value signal indicating the hit value introduced from the hit value selection means 411. Whether or not it is included in the value will be determined. For example, when the set hit value is generated by the big hit variable display hit value generation means 3, the hit value is "8158 to 8191", so if the random number is "8170", it is determined to be a hit, and "170". If so, it is determined to be out. Then, it is judged as a hit, and when a hit signal is output to the stop symbol selecting means 407, the stop symbol selecting means 407 obtains a predetermined stop symbol from the hit symbol generating means 405, and the stop symbol signal is variably displayed. It is output to the device control means 403. In addition, the stop symbol selection means 407, the specific symbol determination means 40 is the selected symbol signal generated based on the hit signal.
Output to 4A. Then, the specific symbol determination means 404A inputs the hit signal and compares the selected symbol with the specific symbol. On the other hand, the variable display hit determination means 404
When the disengagement signal is output to the stop symbol selecting means 407, the stop symbol selecting means 407 obtains a predetermined stop symbol from the disengagement symbol generating means 406, and outputs the stop symbol signal to the variable display device controlling means 403. ing.

Then, according to the stop symbol determined as described above after a predetermined time, the variable display device control means 403 first controls to stop the fluctuation of the left symbol 22 and further after a predetermined time elapses, the middle symbol. It is controlled to stop the fluctuation of the means 23 and the stop symbol is displayed.

At the time when the middle symbol display section 23 stops changing, the variable display device control means 403 determines whether or not each of the stopped symbols may cause a big hit, that is, whether or not it is in the reach state. When it is determined that the reach is not reached, the variable display device control means 403 causes the right symbol display portion 24 to stop and display the stop symbol after a predetermined time.

On the other hand, when the variable display device control means 403 determines that it is in the "reach state", the number of pieces until the stop symbol is larger than the left symbol and the middle symbol, and the reach state is determined. It is supposed to be lively. As a result, after the middle symbol is stopped, until the predetermined time elapses, the right symbol display portion 24 is changed at a speed at which the player can follow the change with his / her own eye, and then the stop symbol is displayed. Stop.

At this point, if the jackpot control means 408 is inputting a hit signal from the variable display hit determination means 404, the jackpot control means 408 forms a jackpot opening signal. When the signal is output to the variable winning device drive control means 409, the variable winning device drive control means 409 outputs a solenoid open signal to the solenoid of the door 51. As a result, the solenoid is excited and the door 5
1 is opened for a predetermined time.

When the door 51 is open, the winning opening 5
The winning number of the game ball winning 3 is detected by the count SW 4, and the winning signal is the jackpot control means 408.
Is output to. When the game ball wins the continuous winning opening 54, the winning is detected by the continuation switch SW3.
Then, a continuous game signal is output from the continuous switch SW3 to the jackpot control means 408. The jackpot control means 408, based on the continuation game signal, continuation indicator 4
A display signal is sent to 17, and the lamp is made to blink. Further, when the jackpot control means 408 outputs a big winning opening opening signal to the variable winning a prize device drive control means 409 after a predetermined time has elapsed after each cycle of the special game is completed based on the continuous game signal, the variable winning device The drive control means 409 outputs the solenoid open signal to the solenoid again, and the special game of the next cycle becomes possible.

Specifically, the jackpot control means 408.
Closes the door 51 when a count signal indicating that the number of winning prizes is 10 from the count SW 4 is input, or a predetermined time elapses, whichever comes first. Therefore, the special winning opening closing signal is output. In this way, the special game of the first cycle ends. And the jackpot control means 40 of the continuous game signal
After a predetermined time interval until the special winning opening 53 is opened again on the assumption that the special winning opening 53 is opened, the special winning opening opening signal of the next cycle is changed.
It is designed to be output to.

Based on the winning signal from the count SW 4, the jackpot control means 408 causes the jackpot 53 to win.
A control signal is output to display the number of winning prizes on the winning number display 415. In addition, the continuation switch SW
Based on the continuous winning detection signal from 3, the jackpot control means 408 outputs a control signal to display the number of cycles of the special game on the cycle number display 416. As described above, in the special game, the above-described series of controls are performed in a predetermined cycle (for example, 16
Cycle) is repeated.

A series of controls of the variable display game as described above are similarly repeated as long as the specific winning detection number storage control means 401 stores the winning in the starting winning port 5.
In this case, in the variable display game that is continuously performed, when the specific symbol determination unit 404A determines that the selected symbol and the specific symbol match, until the next big hit occurs, the big hit variable display special hit value generation unit. Four
The special winning value generated by 18 determines whether the variable display game is "hit" or "miss".

Specifically, when the lucky number big hit signal is output to the hit value selecting means 411 at the time when it is determined that the selected symbol and the specific symbol match, the hit value selecting means 411 causes the big hit. The special display value is introduced from the variable display special hit value generation means 418, and is output to the variable display hit determination means 404 as a special hit value signal. As a result, the random number lottery means 40 based on the special winning value.
It will be determined whether the random number selected in 2 is a random number. The range of the special winning value is “8192 to 778.
Since it is "2", the winning probability is "410/8192 = 1/2"
It has a high probability of "0". Therefore, the player can continuously enjoy the special game.

As a result of the variable display game being played under such a high probability, when a big hit occurs again, the big hit control means 408 outputs a big hit start signal to the hit value selection means 411. After that, the appropriate hit value selection means 411 introduces the hit value that has already been set based on this big hit start signal from the big hit variable display hit value generation means 1 to 3, and the variable display game based on the restored set hit value. Will be done.

During the auxiliary variable display game and the variable display game, the fraud determination unit monitors for fraud. The prize-winning ball detector irregularity determining means 555 inputs the control signal from the big hit control means 408, the prize-winning signal from the prize-winning ball detector SW4, and the continuous game signal from the continuation detector SW3. Then, in a state where the control signal is not input and the special game is not being performed, the winning signal or the continuous game signal is detected, or the control signal is input and the winning signal and the continuous game are being performed during the special game. The signal input order and the presence or absence of input are detected. This is because it is considered that in the former and latter cases, the glass storage frame 5D is opened and a game ball is thrown into the special winning opening 53 from the outside.

When the above fraud is detected, the winning ball detector fraud determination means 555 outputs winning ball fraud signals to the fraudulent operation means 556, respectively. The illegal operation command signal generated by the illegal operation means 556 based on this signal is the random number lottery means 450A, the auxiliary variable display hit determination means 453, the auxiliary variable display control means 455,
Auxiliary variation winning device drive control means 502, specific winning detection number storage control means 401, specific winning detection number storage display control means 412, variable display device control means 403, stop symbol selection means 407, variable display hit determination means 404, big hit control. It is output to the means 408 and the variable winning device drive control means 409, respectively. As a result, the progress of the game is interrupted,
The movable part 710 of the auxiliary variable winning device is closed, and the special winning opening 53 of the variable winning device is also closed.

The illegal operation command signal generated by the illegal operation means 556 is also output to the auxiliary variable winning a prize device opening display control means 458, the decoration display control means 557 and the sound effect control means 558, respectively. As a result, the auxiliary variable winning device open indicator 452 and the decoration indicator L5
And the pattern change indicators L4, L4 are turned off, and the sound effect generator 819 outputs an incorrect sound.

By the way, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the gaming machine 1 according to the present invention is manufactured in accordance with a well-known process, and the process is generally as follows. First, a step of attaching a decorative plate to the game board 8 cut into a predetermined size, and an accessory (auxiliary variable winning device 70, variable winning device 50) on the back surface of the game board 8.
Etc.) and winning holes (general winning holes 15A, 15B, etc.) for forming reference holes, a gauge pressing process for preparing nailing, and the back of the game board 8 shown in FIG. NC router process for making a hole, nailing process, process for correcting the angle of nails nailed, process for assembling guide rail 3, side cases 8A, 8B, accessory, etc. in the game area 2 of the game board 8. And a step of attaching the edge frame 5B, the glass storage frame 5D, the opening / closing panel 9, etc. to the front frame 5H, a step of attaching the game board 8 to the front frame 5H, and a step of assembling the back mechanism on the back surface of the game board 8. It is manufactured through a process.

On the other hand, in this other embodiment, the game board main body 180 and the decorative body 160 are each made of synthetic resin, and the so-called injection molding method is used as the manufacturing method. Taking the game board body 180 as an example, first, a molded product is designed. The molded product of the game board body 180 is integrally formed with the through hole, and the surface of the game board is a decorative plate. Design the mold so that it has unevenness to enhance the sticking force. Then, the designed mold is attached to the injection molding machine, the molding material is preheated, weighed, the molding material is supplied to the hopper of the injection molding machine, the molding material is heated in the injection molding machine cylinder, and the molding material is heated and plasticized. , Injection of molding material into the mold cavity, shaping,
After cooling and solidification in the mold, a process of taking out the game board as a molded product from the mold is performed. As the molding material, polystyrene, AS resin, ABS resin, fiber reinforced plastic or the like is used.

According to the method of manufacturing the game board main body 180 made of synthetic resin, the step of forming a reference hole for each position of the accessory or the winning opening and the hole shown in FIG. 4 from the back surface of the game board are formed. The empty NC router process can be omitted. Further, according to the method of manufacturing the decorative body 160 from the synthetic resin, the step of attaching the guide rails and the side case to the game area of the game board can be omitted. Therefore, as the manufacturing process is omitted, the processing time is shortened and the assembly is simplified. It should be noted that, like the nail, the flow-down direction control means for controlling the flow-down direction of the game ball may be made of synthetic resin and integrally manufactured with the game board. If the flow-down direction control means is integrally manufactured in this way, the step for implanting the nail can be omitted.
Furthermore, the winning ball guide gutter 1 provided on the back side of the game board 8
You may make it integrally mold a-1h with synthetic resin.

As another manufacturing method, a so-called low foam molding method may be used. The low-foam molding method uses an injection molding machine to inject a molten resin and an inert gas together into the mold of the injection molding machine to form a sandwich having a solid surface skin layer and a foam core layer inside. It is a method to make a shaped molded product.

In the gaming machine according to the above embodiment, a prepaid card is held and valuable data is read from the card,
The present invention may be implemented as a card-type game machine by incorporating a ball lending machine equipped with a card reader for writing.

Although the fluorescent display tube is used as the variable display unit in the above embodiments and the drum type variable display is used in the other examples, it is not limited to these and may be a liquid crystal type.
The variable display unit may be configured by 7 segments or a television device may be used.

The winning probability of the variable display game of the above embodiment is one random number generating means (variable display random number generating means 402A).
And a plurality of hit value generating means (big hit variable display hit value generating means 1-3, big hit variable display special hit value generating means 418)
However, it is also possible to provide a plurality of random number generating means and determine the winning probability by the random numbers themselves. Alternatively, a plurality of sets of low-probability random numbers and high-probability random numbers may be prepared so that each set can be selected.

In the above embodiment, the hit control is performed by setting the range of the hit value, but for example, the ratio of the hit number in the variable display section 21 to the winning number to the starting winning port 5 (set probability value) is set. It is possible to set in advance, the ratio of the number of hits to the actual winning a prize hole 5 is calculated on the basis of a certain time, and the "hit" and "off" are forced to maintain the set probability value. May be controlled. In the above embodiment, the hit value control unit for controlling the hit is incorporated in the game board control device on the back surface of the game board, but the variable display device 20 itself may be provided with a probability control unit for controlling the probability. Good. In this way, the probability can be changed by replacing the variable display device.

In the above embodiment, when the game ball wins the starting winning opening 5 in the variable display game with high probability, a random number is picked up at the timing of the winning, and it is determined whether or not it is included in the special winning value. It is different. As a result, the big hits may be continuous. Therefore, the timing of random number extraction is shifted not at the time of winning, but at the time of starting the fluctuation of the variable display part by shifting the timing backward, or whether the extracted random number is hit or not is judged by the hit value instead of the special hit value. It may be controlled to. Further, the random number may be picked up immediately before the left symbol display portion 22 of the variable display portion 21 is stopped. Further, when the random number extracted at the time of high probability is a big hit, it may be determined whether or not to make a big hit as it is, depending on the result of the big hit. For example, when the hit of the big hit is "7, 7, 7", the big hit is continuously continued, but when it is other than that, it may be omitted.

Auxiliary variable display device 10 in the above embodiment
As an example of the configuration of the auxiliary variable display unit 100a of 0, a liquid crystal type may be used as in the variable display device, a 7-segment configuration may be used, or an LED may be used. In the above embodiment, one random number generating means (auxiliary variable display random number generating means 450) and a plurality of auxiliary hit values (auxiliary hit value generating means 1 to 3, special auxiliary hit value generating means 506) are used as in the variable display game. Although the hit probability of the auxiliary variable display game is determined by and, the "hit" or "off" may be determined by a plurality of random number generating means. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the setting, selection, etc. of the auxiliary hitting value are not linked with the setting, selection, or the change to the special hitting value in the variable display game, but as the linking control, for example, the auxiliary hitting value is increased. In this case, the hit probability in the variable display game may be lowered, or the auxiliary hit value may be controlled to be low in the variable display game. Further, when the variable display game is played with a high probability, the auxiliary variable display game may be controlled to have a high probability. In this way, as the number of game balls that win the starting winning opening 5 increases, the chance of a big hit also increases.

In the above embodiment, the variable time of the variable display portion 21 did not change at low probability and high probability of the variable display game, but only at high probability, the variable time is shortened or the stop SW is enabled. You may. In this way, it is possible to generate a big hit earlier and avoid useless driving balls.

In the above embodiment, the probability value setting device 810 uses the setting key to set the hit value, but in order to prevent fraud, a voice recognition means capable of recognizing the voice of the setter is attached. Alternatively, a fingerprint identification device may be provided, or a code number system may be used. An IC card may be used as a method of setting the winning value. For example, the winning value is stored in an IC card, and the probability setting device is set to the IC card so that data can be exchanged with the game board control device 803. When the IC card is removed, it is determined that the fraudulent operation is performed, and the subsequent game is stopped. Further, the data may be exchanged only when the game machine is powered on.

When the jackpot stop design is not a lucky number, the game board control device 803 outputs a firing control signal to the firing control device 818, and the operation of the ball striking device is stopped. Good.

In the above embodiment, the game shop side uses the specific mode setting device 810C to set the specific mode, but this specific mode may be incorporated in the game machine by the manufacturer when the game machine is manufactured. Further, the specific symbol setting SW may be provided at a position where the player can operate, such as the front of the gaming machine, so that the player himself can operate the specific symbol setting SW to select a specific mode. In this case, the settings by the amusement store may be used together.

In the present invention, the probability of changing the probability of the variable display game is conditioned on the occurrence of a hit according to a specific mode. However, any timing may be used as long as it increases the interest of the game, for example, an auxiliary variable display device. The detection of a specific stop symbol in may be used as a condition.
Further, the random number extracted at a high probability may be changed to a low probability on the condition that the random number is a big hit.

[0159]

According to the present invention, the first probability means allows the gaming shop to set the winning probability of the variable display game according to its business policy, and the second probability means allows the game shop to win the variable display game. The probability fluctuates, the player can be given unexpectedness of the game, and the probability fluctuates on condition that the variable display section stops at a specific symbol, so that the fluctuation of the probability can be recognized through the sight of the player. it can.
