To do.

The first winning device 13 has a function of classifying a hit ball into a general prize and a special prize and winning the special prize, and detecting the special prize hit ball. First prize winning device 13 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
In the embodiment, the box-shaped case 16 having an opening in the upper part of the front surface is used.
A first drive source 17 composed of a motor and a speed reducer is incorporated into the inside of a base, and a base 20 having a special winning ball passage 18 and a general winning ball passage 19 is fixed, and a special winning is placed on an upper surface of the base 20. A holding frame 23 having a ball drop opening 21 and a general winning ball drop opening 22 is provided in a state in which the holding frame 23 is slightly inclined forward, and a disc-like shape is formed in a recess 24 formed on the upper surface of the holding frame 23. The output shaft 1 of the first drive source 17 including the sorting member 25
Connect to 7 '.

The separating member 25 has its upper surface divided into a plurality of fan-shaped portions 27a, 27b ... 27f by radial ribs 26 ...
In the embodiment shown in the drawings, notched portions 28a, 28b with partial step bottoms for special winning are formed in the facing fan-shaped portions 27a, 27b,
Fitting holes 29 for general winning are formed in the other fan-shaped portions 27b, 27c, 27e and 27f. It should be noted that the general winning fitting hole 29 is the bottom 2 of the special winning cutouts 28a, 28b.
It is located closer to the center than 8a 'and 28b'.

Since the first driving source 17 is constantly operating, the separating member 25 continues to rotate and waits for the inflow of a hit ball.
When a hit ball flowing down in the game function unit 10 flows into the case 16 from the upper opening 30 of the case 16, the hit ball falls on the sorting member 25, and a fitting hole 29 for a general prize or a notch for a special prize. Enter any of 28. When the ball hits the general winning fit hole 29, the ball hits the recess 24 of the holding frame 23.
It is supported on the upper surface and rotates together with the sorting member 25. When the ball hits the general winning ball dropping port 22, the hit ball falls from this dropping port 22 and passes through the general winning ball passage 19 to the game board 1
It flows out to the back side of and becomes a prize ball.

On the other hand, the hit ball dropped into the special winning cutout 28 is supported by the upper surface of the recess 24 of the holding frame 23 and rotates together with the sorting member 25. Since the general winning ball drop opening 22 is blocked by the bottom 28 'of the special winning cutout 28, the hit ball passes over the general winning ball drop opening 22 and falls into the special winning ball drop opening 21. .. The hit ball that has fallen into the drop port 21 passes through the special winning ball passage 18 and, on the way, the first detector 3
After acting on 1, it becomes a winning ball.

When the first detector 31 detects a hit ball, a special winning signal is transmitted to the electric control device 32. Receiving this signal, the electrical control device 32 recognizes the occurrence of the special prize, that is, the privilege game right, and the first display devices 33, 33 on the left and right of the game function unit 10 and the second display device 34 of the second winning device 34. , Third
The third display 35, 35 on the front of the winning opening of the winning device 15 blinks, and at the same time, a sound effect is emitted from a speaker (not shown) to inform the player that the bonus game will start. In the privilege game in the embodiment shown in the drawings, the hit ball is the second winning device 1
It is set to convert the hitting state of the third prize winning device 15 on condition that 4 is entered.

In the embodiment of the second winning device 14 shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, a pocket-shaped frame 37 having an open upper surface is mounted on the surface of a mounting substrate 36, and a second drive source 38 such as a solenoid is mounted in the frame 37. Opening / closing member 39 provided and connected to the second drive source 38
The sphere entrance 40 of the mounting substrate 36 is opened and closed by moving up and down at the upper opening of the frame 37, and the second detector 42 is exposed to the sphere passage 41 extending from the sphere entrance 40. Therefore, when the second drive source 38 is demagnetized, the opening / closing member 39 is biased by the spring 38 '.
Moves up to block the ball entrance 40 and prevent the hitting of the ball.

On the other hand, when a hit ball enters the first prize winning device 13 and a special prize is achieved, the second drive source 38 is excited by a signal from the electric controller 32, the opening / closing member 39 is lowered, and the ball entrance 40 is opened. Then, the hit ball is converted into a winning state.
In this state, the hitting ball that has flowed down in the game function unit 10 is guided by the guide pieces 43, 43, etc.
When the ball hits the ball entrance 40 and falls above, the ball hits the ball passage 41.
After acting on the second detector 42 while flowing down, it becomes a winning ball. When the second detector 42 detects a hit ball, it sends a signal to the electric control device 32, so that the electric control device 32 blinks the first, second, and third indicators 33, 34, 35 at high speed, and A different sound effect is emitted, and at the same time, the third winning device 15 is converted into a state in which a ball can be easily hit.

The embodiment of the third prize winning device 15 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is a so-called attacker, in which a horizontally long ball-shaped ball receiving member 46 is opened and closed at a horizontally long ball entrance 45 opened in the mounting substrate 44. The ball receiving member 46 is connected to a third drive source 47 such as an electromagnetic solenoid. Therefore, this third winning device 1
In the state where the third drive source 47 is demagnetized, No. 5 maintains the first state in which the ball receiving member 46 closes the ball inlet 45 by the urging of the spring 47 'and the ball is not received. The third drive source 47 is supplied with electric power from the electric control device 32.
Is excited to rotate the ball receiving member 46 forward as shown in FIG. 7, the ball inlet 45 is opened, and the ball is converted into the second state in which the ball can easily enter. In this state, when the hitting ball flowing down in the game function unit 10 falls on the ball receiving member 46, this hitting ball descends from the ball receiving member 46 and descends from the ball entrance 45 to the back frame 48.
After entering the inside and acting on the third detector 50 for counting 10 while flowing down the ball passage 49, it is discharged to the back side of the game board 1 and becomes a winning ball.

The third winning device 15 capable of winning a large number of hit balls as described above maintains the second state until the stop condition is satisfied. The stop condition is preset in the electric control device 32. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, 10 seconds elapse after the third winning device 15 is converted into the second state, or 1 is set.
The stop condition is satisfied when either one of the 0 hit balls is filled. And, as for the privilege game, as a general rule, until the stop condition is satisfied eight times, that is, the third winning apparatus 15
If 10 seconds elapse after the change to the second state, or if there are 10 hit balls in the meantime, it is one cycle,
It is set so that the player can repeatedly play the game up to eight cycles, and the update of this cycle is conditional on the hitting ball entering the second winning system 14.

Further, according to the present invention, when the hit ball enters the first prize winning device 13 and a special prize is regained during the privilege game, the privilege game is terminated at that time regardless of the number of remaining cycles. .. Further, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, when eight hits are won in the second winning device 14, the privilege game is terminated at that time regardless of the number of times the cycle is updated.

Therefore, in the case of playing with a pachinko machine of the above-mentioned gaming form, first, a hit ball is shot aiming at the first prize device 13, and the hit ball enters the first prize device 13 and is fortunately sorted into a special prize. After the right to play occurs, the second
After the batting ball is shot aiming at the winning device 14, the batting ball enters the second winning device 14 and the third winning device 15 is converted into the second state, it is better to shoot the batting target at the third winning device 15. Will be advantageous to the person. Then, when 10 seconds elapse after the third winning device 15 is converted to the second state, or 10 hit balls are returned to the first state by winning the third winning device 15 by then. In order to be careful not to enter the first prize winning device 13, the player hits the second prize winning device 14 with a hit ball.

Despite being careful, the hit ball is the first winning device 1
If 3 is entered and the special prize is sorted, the privilege game ends at that point. However, when the player is lucky enough to enter the second prize device 14 without being the special prize of the first prize device 13, the second detector 42 detects a hit ball, and the electric control device 32 activates the third drive source 47. Excited again, the third prize winning device 1
The hit ball acceptance state of No. 5 is converted to the second state and updated in the second cycle.

As described above, attention should be paid so that hit balls do not enter the first prize device 13 during the bonus game, but when the number of hit balls that entered the second prize device 14 reaches 8 during the cycle update. At that point, the bonus game will end regardless of the number of remaining cycle updates, so the third winning device 15 will be the second
The ball is shot while being converted into the state, being careful not to enter the second winning device 14. In this way, by firing a hit ball according to the state of the pachinko machine, it is possible to play a game advantageous to the player. Therefore, the player can enjoy the varied and entertaining game by changing the target for hitting the ball according to the progress of the game.

Next, the first, second and third prize winning devices 13, 1
Electrical control device 3 for operating 4, 15 as described above
2 will be described. For convenience of explanation, signals are represented by H level “H” and L levels are represented by “L”.

In the embodiment of the electric control device 32 shown in FIG. 8, the first detector 31 of the first winning device 13 is connected to the T input side of the first D flip-flop 51 via a waveform shaping circuit 52, and The inverted Q output side of the 1D flip-flop 51 is connected to the D input side, and the Q output side is the second winning device 14 of the second winning device 14.
It is connected to the drive source 38 via the driver 53 and also to the sound effect generator 54. Therefore, when the first D flip-flop 51 is in the reset state, the inverted Q output is “H”, and this “H” is input to the D input.

In this state, when the hit ball enters the first prize winning device 13 and is fortunately sorted into a special prize, the first detector 31 detects the hit ball and the "H" is input to the T input side of the first D flip-flop 51. "Send a signal. First D flip-flop 51
When receiving this "H" signal, outputs the same signal as the D input side from the Q output side, that is, the "H" signal from the inverted Q. This output excites the second drive source 38 via the driver 53 to convert the second winning device 14 into a state in which a hit ball can be won, and at the same time, activates the sound effect generator 54 and causes the speaker 55.
Sound effect from.

When a ball hits the second winning device 14, which has been converted into a state in which the ball can enter by the excitation of the second drive source 38, the second detector 42 detects the ball. Second detector 42
Is connected to the SI input side of the FIFO register 57 via the waveform shaping circuit 56.

The FIFO register 57 is used for the second winning device 1.
The hit ball which is won in 4 is stored, and if the stored content is stored, DOR is executed every time the third winning device 15 finishes one cycle.
Second D in cooperation with the first AND circuit 58 connected to the output side
Flip-flop 59 and third D flip-flop 60
Etc. are operated to shift the third prize winning device 15 to the next cycle. The first AND circuit 58 has the inverted Q output of the third D flip-flop 60 as one input, and the output side thereof is connected to the T input side of the second D flip-flop 59.

The second D flip-flop 59 has a delay circuit 6 whose Q output side comprises an integrating circuit 61 and a second AND circuit 62.
3, the output side of the delay circuit 63, that is, the output side of the second AND circuit 62 is connected to the reset side of the second D flip-flop 59, and the inverted Q output side of the second D flip-flop 59 is the T side of the third D flip-flop 60. Connect to the input side. The 3D flip-flop 60 has an inverted Q output side connected to one input side of the first AND circuit 58 and an SO input side of the FIFO register 57. Then, the Q output side is connected to the third driving source 47 of the third winning device 15 and the sound effect generator 54 via the driver 64.

Therefore, the "H" signal from the second detector 42 via the waveform shaping circuit 56 is sent to the S of the FIFO register 57.
Upon entering the I input side, an "H" signal is issued from the DOR output side and enters the first AND circuit 58. Since the first AND circuit 58 uses the inverted Q output of the third D flip-flop 60 as another input, when the third D flip-flop 60 is in the reset state, "H" of the inverted Q output and AND are taken.
The “H” clock signal is sent to the T input side of the D flip-flop 59. When a clock signal is input to the T input side of the second D flip-flop 59, the Q output side becomes “H”, and this “H” is sent to one input side of the second AND circuit 62 of the delay circuit 63.

Since the second AND circuit 62 uses the output from the timer 65 as the other input, it opens when receiving the "H" signal from the timer 65 every 0.5 seconds, and the reset side of the second D flip-flop 59. "H" signal to reset the second D flip-flop 59 with a delay of 0.5 seconds. When the second D flip-flop 59 is reset, the inverted Q output is converted to “H”, so that the third D flip-flop 60, which uses this inverted Q output as a clock input, is set at the rising of “H” and the Q output side To "H" and the inverted Q output side to "L".

The Q output side of the third D flip-flop 60 is a sound effect generator 54, a third drive source 47 of the third winning a prize device 15 via a driver 64, a count input side of a first counter 66, and the timer. It is connected to the start signal input side of 65. Therefore, the third D flip-flop 6
When 0 is set and "H" is sent from the Q output side,
The sound effect generator 54 operates to generate a sound effect different from the above from the speaker 55, and at the same time, the third driving source 47 is excited to convert the third winning device 15 into the second state in which a ball can be easily hit. Start the second cycle.

As described above, when the third prize winning device 15 starts the first cycle, the first counter 66 which receives "H" from the Q output side of the third D flip-flop 60 counts the first cycle, and the decoder 67 is activated. The number of cycles is digitally displayed on the first display means 68 via. The first counter 66 counts each time the Q output side of the third D flip-flop 60 becomes "H", that is, each time the third winning a prize device 15 changes from the first state to the second state. The number) is displayed on the first display means 68 of the first winning device 13.

When converted to the second state, the third winning system 15 maintains the second state until the stop condition is satisfied, and continues to win the hit ball. In the present embodiment, the third winning device 15
A stop condition is set by the second counter 69 which receives the signal from the detector 50 as a count input, and the timer 65, and when either one of the conditions is satisfied, the third winning a prize device 15 is changed from the second state to the first state. Then, the cycle is ended. That is, the output side of the timer 65 in which the maximum cycle duration is set to 10 seconds is set to the differentiation circuit 70.
To the input side of the OR circuit 71, and the output side of the OR circuit 71 is connected to the reset input side of the third D flip-flop 60. Also, Q1 of the second counter 69
The output side and the Q3 output side are respectively connected to the input side of the third AND circuit 72, and the output side of the third AND circuit 72 is connected to the other input side of the OR circuit 71.

Therefore, the hit balls successively enter the third winning device 15, the third detector 50 detects one of these hit balls, and outputs the "H" signal to the second counter 69 via the waveform shaping circuit 73. When sent, the counter 69 counts the number of winning balls one by one and sequentially converts the outputs Q0 to Q3. Therefore, the number of winning prizes in the cycle can be digitally displayed on the second display means 75 connected to Q0 to Q3 of the counter 69 through the decoder 74. When 10 hits are won in the third winning device 15, the Q0 output of the second counter 69 is "L", the Q1 output is "H", the Q2 output is "L", and the Q3 output is "H". 10 ”, the AND of the third AND circuit 72 is taken, the output becomes“ H ”, the“ H ”signal is sent to the reset input side of the third D flip-flop 60 through the OR circuit 71, and the third D flip-flop 60 is turned on. Reset and end the first cycle.

On the other hand, when the set time of the timer 65 has passed 10 seconds before 10 hits are won in the third winning device 15, the "H" signal from the timer 65 is transferred to the third D flip-flop 60 via the OR gate 71. It is sent to the reset input side, regardless of the number of winnings to the third winning device 15
The flip-flop 60 is reset.

When the third D flip-flop 60 is reset, the Q output is converted to "L", so that the third driving source 47
Is demagnetized, and the third prize winning device 15 can easily accept a hit ball.
The state returns to the first state in which the hit ball is not accepted. When the third D flip-flop 60 is reset, the inverted Q
Since the output is converted to "H", this "H" resets the second counter 69, and also via the fourth AND circuit 76 having one input side connected to the inverted Q output side of the second D flip-flop 59. Reset the timer 65.

In this state, the hit ball enters the second winning device 14 and the "H" signal from the second detector 42 is sent to the FIFO register 5
When it enters the SI input side of 7, the second D flip-flop 59 is once set and then reset with a slight delay as described above, and the third D flip-flop 60 is set again. Therefore, the third winning device 15 is converted into the second state again and updated in the second cycle, and at the same time, the first display means 68.
Indicates that it is the second cycle.

In this way, the third winning system 15 sets the timer 65 to "10 seconds" or the second counter 69.
Each time the stop condition of "10 pieces" set in "1" is satisfied, the ball is easily accepted from the second state, the first state is not accepted.
The state is returned to, and the next cycle is updated on condition that a hit ball is entered in the second winning apparatus 14.

The second prize winning device 14 maintains a state of accepting a hit ball continuously while the privilege game is being executed, that is, as long as the first D flip-flop 51 maintains the set state. Therefore, the second winning device 14 receives the hit ball regardless of the state of the third winning device 15, and the second detector 42
Sends a cycle start signal to the SI input side of the FIFO register 57. The FIFO register 57 stores the signal from the second detector 42, and until the stored content is exhausted, that is, on the SO input side, the third D flip-flop 60 is set and the inverted Q output is from “H” to “L”. The DOR output side is maintained at "H" until the number of falling edges when converting to "" matches the number of "H" signals to the SI input side.

When the DOR output side of the FIFO register 57 maintains "H", one input side of the first AND circuit 58 becomes "H". Since the other input side of the first AND circuit 58 is connected to the inverted Q output side of the third D flip-flop 60, when the third D flip-flop 60 is changed from the set state to the reset state, that is, the third winning prize. The device 15 finishes a certain cycle, and the second state is changed to the first state.
The second D flip-flop 5 is opened when returning to the state.
Set 9. When the second D flip-flop 59 is set, it immediately returns to the reset state with a delay of the time of the delay circuit 63, and the third D flip-flop 60 as described above.
Is set, and the third winning apparatus 15 is converted into the second state in which the ball can be easily hit again, and is updated to the next cycle.

When the third drive source 47 is demagnetized, the FIF
The second D flip-flop 59 immediately starts to update the cycle of the third winning device 15 according to the stored contents of the O register 57. However, the delay circuit 63 causes the set time of the third D flip-flop 60, that is, the third driving source 47 to be re-activated. Since the excitation is delayed, the ball receiving member 4 of the third winning device 15
The time required for 6 to close the ball inlet 45 by urging the spring 47 'or the like can be secured. Therefore, the third prize winning device 15 surely closes the ball receiving member 46 once and then reopens it, and updates the cycle with moderation. Then, when the third winning device 15 actually converts the hit state of the hit ball, that is, when the cycle is updated, the first counter 66 counts the Q output of the third D flip-flop 60, and thus the number of cycles in which the game is played ( (Including those in the game) can be visually displayed on the first table means 68.

Further, the number of cycles executed by the third prize winning device 15 and the number of hit balls entered in the second prize winning device 14 do not always match during the game, and the number of hit balls entered in the second prize winning device 14 is Often increases. Therefore, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, the hit detection signal "H" from the second detector 42 of the second winning device 14 is counted by the third counter 77, and this count value is connected through the decoder 78 to the third display means 79. Digitally displayed on. Therefore, the third display means 79, regardless of the number of executed cycles of the third prize winning device 15,
In the privilege game, the number of hit balls that have entered the second winning device 14, that is, the number of cycles that can be updated is visually displayed.

If the number of cycles of the third prize winning device 15 is renewed indefinitely as long as the ball continues to enter the second prize winning device 14, the game will not be sound and the pachinko parlor will be greatly damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the number of cycles per privilege game. Therefore, in this embodiment, 8
The Q3 output side of the third counter 77 is connected to the first D
It is connected to the reset input side of the flip-flop 51.

Therefore, when 7 hits enter the second winning device 14, the third winning device 15 can update up to the 7th cycle based on the 7 hits winning, 8
When the second ball hits the second winning system 14, the Q3 output of the third counter 77 is "H" based on the eighth winning.
And the first D flip-flop 51 is reset, the second driving source 38 is demagnetized, and the second winning device 14 receives 9
It is possible to prevent the entry of the first hit ball. Therefore, the third winning system 15 can be updated up to the 8th cycle, but
It does not shift to the cycle cycle. In addition, since the delay circuit 80 is inserted between the Q3 output side of the third counter 77 and the reset input side of the first D flip-flop 51, the third winning a prize device 15 is surely updated after the eighth cycle. The 1D flip-flop 51 can be reset.

Further, in the present embodiment, the second winning device 14
Since the condition for ending the privilege game is satisfied depending on the number of hit balls entered, if the condition for ending the privilege game is satisfied, the privilege game is forced regardless of the number of cycle update executions of the third prize winning apparatus 15. Can be ended.

Further, in this embodiment, since the inverted Q output is connected to the D input side of the first D flip-flop 51, the first prize is won after the first D flip-flop 51 is set and the privilege game is started. When the hit ball entering the device 13 is sorted into a special prize, the Q output becomes a signal of the same level as the D input side, that is, "L" from the inverted Q output by the clock signal from the first detector 31. Therefore, the second driving source 38 is demagnetized and the second winning apparatus 14 returns to a state in which no hit ball is entered, and "H" from the inverted Q output side causes the FIFO register 57, the first counter 66, and the third counter 77. Is reset, and the privilege game is forcibly ended regardless of whether or not the contents of the FIFO register 57 are stored.

As described above, in this embodiment, even if the hit balls that have entered the first prize winning device 13 are sorted into the special prize and the right to the privilege game is acquired, the amount of the profit is different depending on the subsequent prize mode. .. Therefore, the player pays attention not to let the hit ball enter the first prize winning device 13 after the bonus game starts, and at the same time, the player first shoots the hit hitting the second prize winning device 14, and the second prize winning device 14 is operated. If you enter the ball, the third prize winning device 15 will be opened so that as many hits as possible will hit the target. Only the third prize winning device 15 will be launched, and if the third prize winning device 15 is closed, you will cycle. In order to update, perform a ball hitting operation aiming only at the second prize device 14, and make the most of the privilege of the privilege game, that is, aim as many balls as possible to win, a target according to the progress of the game Aim a shot at the target. Therefore, the player can enjoy the original game of the pachinko game.

The first, second, and third winning devices 13, 14, 15 in the present invention are not limited to those described in the above embodiment. The first winning device 13 may have any configuration as long as it can separate the hit ball into the general winning and the special winning by the separating member and win the prize. For example, in another embodiment of the first winning device 13 shown in FIG. 9, a concave chamber 82 is formed on the back surface of the mounting substrate 81, and an upper sloping surface 83 and a lower sloping surface 84 are provided in the concave chamber 82.

Will be advantageous to the person. Then, when 10 seconds elapse after the third winning device 15 is converted to the second state, or 10 hit balls are returned to the first state by winning the third winning device 15 by then. In order to be careful not to enter the first prize winning device 13, the player hits the second prize winning device 14 with a hit ball.

Despite being careful, the hit ball is the first winning device 1
If it is fractionated into special pay contained in 3, at which point the <br/> special game but terminates. However, when the player is lucky enough to enter the second prize device 14 without being the special prize of the first prize device 13, the second detector 42 detects a hit ball, and the electric control device 32 activates the third drive source 47. Excited again, the third prize winning device 1
The hit ball acceptance state of No. 5 is converted to the second state and updated in the second cycle.

[0024] While it that the shot during the special game, be careful so as not to enter the first prize device 13 is as described above, the number of hit ball went into the second winning device 14 in the middle cycle update reaches eight then since the special game at that point but terminates regardless of the remaining number of cycles update, third prize device 15 second
The ball is shot while being converted into the state, being careful not to enter the second winning device 14. In this way, by firing a hit ball according to the state of the pachinko machine, it is possible to play a game advantageous to the player. Therefore, the player can enjoy the varied and entertaining game by changing the target for hitting the ball according to the progress of the game.

Next, the first, second and third prize winning devices 13, 1

Accepts the second winning device 14 which does not accept a hit ball
By converting to a possible state, the detection signal generating means
Although it was made to function as a prize, a prize tool that can always hit a ball
When using as a specific winning port, the first detector 31
The special game right is generated based on the signal power from
Win a prize at the specified prize hole while the profit status continues
The electric control device 32 detects only the detection signal of the winning ball.
Should be processed as. That is, electrical control
The device 32 wins a specific winning opening while the special game right is still active.
Only the winning ball detection signal emitted from the ball detector is an appropriate signal
Treated as (Activate the winning ball detector in a specific winning opening
And a variable winning device drive control means based on the signal.
Operate the first display control means and the first notification control means.
For example, the winning ball detector in a specific winning opening and the electrical control device 3
2 and 2 will function as detection signal generating means.

When a ball hits the second winning device 14, which has been converted into a state in which the ball can be hit by exciting the second drive source 38, the second detector 42 detects the ball. Second detector 42
Is connected to the SI input side of the FIFO register 57 via the waveform shaping circuit 56.

The FIFO register 57 is used for the second winning device 1.
The hit ball which is won in 4 is stored, and if the stored content is stored, DOR is executed every time the third winning device 15 finishes one cycle.
Second D in cooperation with the first AND circuit 58 connected to the output side
Flip-flop 59 and third D flip-flop 60
Etc. are operated to shift the third prize winning device 15 to the next cycle. The first AND circuit 58 has the inverted Q output of the third D flip-flop 60 as one input, and the output side thereof is connected to the T input side of the second D flip-flop 59.

The second D flip-flop 59 has a delay circuit 6 whose Q output side is composed of an integrating circuit 61 and a second AND circuit 62.
3, the output side of the delay circuit 63, that is, the output side of the second AND circuit 62 is connected to the reset side of the second D flip-flop 59, and the inverted Q output side of the second D flip-flop 59 is the T side of the third D flip-flop 60. Connect to the input side. The 3D flip-flop 60 has an inverted Q output side connected to one input side of the first AND circuit 58 and an SO input side of the FIFO register 57. Then, the Q output side is connected to the third driving source 47 of the third winning device 15 and the sound effect generator 54 via the driver 64.

Therefore, the "H" signal from the second detector 42 via the waveform shaping circuit 56 is sent to the S of the FIFO register 57.
Upon entering the I input side, an "H" signal is issued from the DOR output side and enters the first AND circuit 58. Since the first AND circuit 58 uses the inverted Q output of the third D flip-flop 60 as another input, when the third D flip-flop 60 is in the reset state, "H" of the inverted Q output and AND are taken.
The “H” clock signal is sent to the T input side of the D flip-flop 59. When a clock signal is input to the T input side of the second D flip-flop 59, the Q output side becomes “H”, and this “H” is sent to one input side of the second AND circuit 62 of the delay circuit 63.

Since the second AND circuit 62 uses the output from the timer 65 as the other input, it opens when receiving the "H" signal from the timer 65 every 0.5 seconds, and the reset side of the second D flip-flop 59. "H" signal to reset the second D flip-flop 59 with a delay of 0.5 seconds. When the second D flip-flop 59 is reset, the inverted Q output is converted to “H”, so that the third D flip-flop 60, which uses this inverted Q output as a clock input, is set at the rising of “H” and the Q output side To "H" and the inverted Q output side to "L".

The Q output side of the third D flip-flop 60 is a sound effect generator 54, a third drive source 47 of the third winning a prize device 15 via a driver 64, a count input side of a first counter 66, and the timer. It is connected to the start signal input side of 65. Therefore, the third D flip-flop 6
When 0 is set and "H" is sent from the Q output side,
The sound effect generator 54 operates to generate a sound effect different from the above from the speaker 55, and at the same time, the third driving source 47 is excited to convert the third winning device 15 into the second state in which a ball can be easily hit. Start the second cycle. Electricity as above
When the physical control device 32 operates the speaker 55,
2 functions as the notification control means.

As described above, when the third winning system 15 starts the first cycle, the first counter 66 which receives "H" from the Q output side of the third D flip-flop 60 counts the first cycle, and the decoder 67 is operated. The number of cycles is digitally displayed on the first display means 68 via. The first counter 66 counts each time the Q output side of the third D flip-flop 60 becomes "H", that is, each time the third winning a prize device 15 changes from the first state to the second state. The number) is displayed on the first display means 68 of the first winning device 13.

When converted into the second state, the third winning system 15 maintains the second state until the stop condition is satisfied, and continues to win the hit ball. In the present embodiment, the third winning device 15
A stop condition is set by the second counter 69 which receives the signal from the detector 50 as a count input, and the timer 65, and when either one of the conditions is satisfied, the third winning a prize device 15 is changed from the second state to the first state. Then, the cycle is ended. That is, the output side of the timer 65 in which the maximum cycle duration is set to 10 seconds is set to the differentiation circuit 70.
To the input side of the OR circuit 71, and the output side of the OR circuit 71 is connected to the reset input side of the third D flip-flop 60. In addition, Q1 of the second counter 69
The output side and the Q3 output side are respectively connected to the input side of the third AND circuit 72, and the output side of the third AND circuit 72 is connected to the other input side of the OR circuit 71.

Therefore, the batted balls successively enter the third winning apparatus 15, the third detector 50 detects one of these batted balls, and the "H" signal is sent to the second counter 69 via the waveform shaping circuit 73. When sent, the counter 69 counts the number of winning balls one by one and sequentially converts the outputs Q0 to Q3. Therefore, the number of winning prizes in the cycle can be digitally displayed on the second display means 75 connected to Q0 to Q3 of the counter 69 through the decoder 74. When 10 hits are won in the third winning device 15, the Q0 output of the second counter 69 is "L", the Q1 output is "H", the Q2 output is "L", and the Q3 output is "H", that is, " 10 ”, the AND of the third AND circuit 72 is taken, the output becomes“ H ”, the“ H ”signal is sent to the reset input side of the third D flip-flop 60 through the OR circuit 71, and the third D flip-flop 60 is turned on. Reset and end the first cycle.

On the other hand, when the set time of the timer 65 has passed 10 seconds before 10 hits are won in the third winning device 15, the "H" signal from the timer 65 is transferred to the third D flip-flop 60 via the OR gate 71. It is sent to the reset input side, regardless of the number of winnings to the third winning device 15
The flip-flop 60 is reset.

When the third D flip-flop 60 is reset, the Q output is converted to "L", so that the third driving source 47
Is demagnetized, and the third prize winning device 15 can easily accept a hit ball.
The state returns to the first state in which the hit ball is not accepted. When the third D flip-flop 60 is reset, the inverted Q
Since the output is converted to "H", this "H" resets the second counter 69, and also via the fourth AND circuit 76 having one input side connected to the inverted Q output side of the second D flip-flop 59. Reset the timer 65.

In this state, a hit ball enters the second winning device 14 and the "H" signal from the second detector 42 is sent to the FIFO register 5
When it enters the SI input side of 7, the second D flip-flop 59 is once set and then reset with a slight delay as described above, and the third D flip-flop 60 is set again. Therefore, the third winning device 15 is converted into the second state again and updated in the second cycle, and at the same time, the first display means 68.
Indicates that it is the second cycle.

In this way, the third winning system 15 sets the timer 65 to "10 seconds" or the second counter 69.
Each time the stop condition of "10 pieces" set in "1" is satisfied, the ball is easily accepted from the second state, the first state is not accepted.
The state is returned to, and the next cycle is updated on condition that a hit ball is entered in the second winning apparatus 14.

The second prize apparatus 14 continues during special game is being performed, i.e., as long as the 1D flip-flop 51 maintains the set state, maintains the state to accept the hitting. Therefore, the second winning device 14 receives the hit ball regardless of the state of the third winning device 15, and the second detector 42
Sends a cycle start signal to the SI input side of the FIFO register 57. The FIFO register 57 stores the signal from the second detector 42, and until the stored content is exhausted, that is, on the SO input side, the third D flip-flop 60 is set and the inverted Q output is from “H” to “L”. The DOR output side is maintained at "H" until the number of falling edges when converting to "" matches the number of "H" signals to the SI input side.

When the DOR output side of the FIFO register 57 maintains "H", one input side of the first AND circuit 58 becomes "H". Since the other input side of the first AND circuit 58 is connected to the inverted Q output side of the third D flip-flop 60, when the third D flip-flop 60 is changed from the set state to the reset state, that is, the third winning prize. The device 15 finishes a certain cycle, and the second state is changed to the first state.
The second D flip-flop 5 is opened when returning to the state.
Set 9. When the second D flip-flop 59 is set, it immediately returns to the reset state with a delay of the time of the delay circuit 63, and the third D flip-flop 60 as described above.
Is set, and the third winning apparatus 15 is converted into the second state in which the ball can be easily hit again, and is updated to the next cycle.

When the third drive source 47 is demagnetized, the FIF
The second D flip-flop 59 immediately starts to update the cycle of the third winning device 15 according to the stored contents of the O register 57. However, the delay circuit 63 causes the set time of the third D flip-flop 60, that is, the third driving source 47 to be re-activated. Since the excitation is delayed, the ball receiving member 4 of the third winning device 15
The time required for 6 to close the ball entrance 45 by urging the sling 47 'or the like can be secured. Therefore, the third prize winning device 15 surely closes the ball receiving member 46 once and then reopens it, and updates the cycle with moderation. Then, when the third winning device 15 actually converts the hit state of the hit ball, that is, when the cycle is updated, the first counter 66 counts the Q output of the third D flip-flop 60, and thus the number of cycles in which the game is played ( (Including those in the game) can be visually displayed on the first table means 68.

Further, the number of cycles executed by the third prize winning device 15 and the number of hit balls entered in the second prize winning device 14 do not always match during the game, and the number of hit balls entered in the second prize winning device 14 is Often increases. Therefore, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, the hit detection signal "H" from the second detector 42 of the second winning device 14 is counted by the third counter 77, and this count value is connected through the decoder 78 to the third display means 79. Digitally displayed on. Therefore, the third display means 79, regardless of the number of executed cycles of the third prize winning device 15,
Containing the hit ball speed to the second winning device 14 in the special game, the number of cycles may update other words visible display.

As long as the ball continues to enter the second prize device 14, if the cycle of the third prize device 15 is updated indefinitely, the game will not be sound and the pachinko parlor will be seriously damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the number of cycles per one special game of. Therefore, in this embodiment, 8
The Q3 output side of the third counter 77 is connected to the first D
It is connected to the reset input side of the flip-flop 51.

Therefore, when 7 hits enter the second winning device 14, the third winning device 15 can update up to the 7th cycle based on these 7 hits.
When the second ball hits the second winning device 14, the Q3 output of the third counter 77 is "H" based on the eighth prize.
And the first D flip-flop 51 is reset, the second driving source 38 is demagnetized, and the second winning device 14 receives 9
It is possible to prevent the entry of the first hit ball. Therefore, the third winning system 15 can be updated up to the 8th cycle, but
It does not shift to the cycle cycle. In addition, since the delay circuit 80 is inserted between the Q3 output side of the third counter 77 and the reset input side of the first D flip-flop 51, the third winning a prize device 15 is certainly updated after the eighth cycle. The 1D flip-flop 51 can be reset.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the second winning device 14
Since it is constituted such that it is satisfied the end condition of the special game by the number of entering the hitting, the special game regardless of the cycle number of update execution of the third prize apparatus 15 when the special game end condition is satisfied Can be forcibly terminated.

[0048] Further, in the present embodiment, since is connected to the inverted Q output to the D input of the first 1D flip-flop 51, the 1D flip-flop 51 is set special Yu <br/> technique is initiated After that, when the hit ball entering the first winning device 13 is sorted into a special winning, the clock signal from the first detector 31 causes the Q output to have a signal at the same level as the D input side, that is, "from the inverted Q output". L ”. Therefore, the second driving source 38 is demagnetized and the second winning apparatus 14 returns to a state in which no hit ball is entered, and "H" from the inverted Q output side causes the FIFO register 57, the first counter 66, and the third counter 77. There is reset forces an end irrespective special game to the presence or absence of the contents of the FIFO register 57.

[0049] Even in this embodiment in this manner has won the right has been special game fractionated into a special winning hit ball entered the first winning device 13, the size of benefit by I whether subsequent winning different. Thus the player, after special game start is taking care not to enter the shot in the first winning device 13, besides first performs a firing operation of the ball aimed at second winning device 14, a second prize apparatus If 14 is entered, the third ball winning device 15 is opened so as to hit as many balls as possible into the opened third ball winning device 15, and the ball hitting operation is performed aiming only at the third ball winning device 15, and if the third ball winning device 15 is closed. perform firing operation of the ball aimed at by the second winning device 14 to perform the cycle update, to utilize as much as possible benefits special game, so that winning number of the ball as possible viz, according to the progress of the game A shot is shot at the target. Therefore, the player can enjoy the original game of the pachinko game.

The first, second and third prize winning devices 13, 14, 15 in the present invention are not limited to those described in the above embodiment. The first winning device 13 may have any configuration as long as it can separate the hit ball into the general winning and the special winning by the separating member and win the prize. For example, in another embodiment of the first winning device 13 shown in FIG. 9, a concave chamber 82 is formed on the back surface of the mounting substrate 81, and an upper sloping surface 83 and a lower sloping surface 84 are provided in the concave chamber 82.
