However, the special winning opening 4B on the right shoulder of the variable display device 20 and the auxiliary variable winning device 50 are arranged so that the game balls do not easily flow into them.

The arrangement of special obstacle nails in the right side area of the game area 2 will be specifically described. First, a flow-down guide nail group 1 for guiding the game ball hit right along the guide rail 3 to the right side game area of the game area 2.
A is planted, and the game ball that has passed through the inside of the flow-down guide nail group 1A and the guide rail 3 is the third-class start winning port 7
Downflow nail group 1B, 1C, 1D,
1E are respectively planted, and these flow-down guide nail groups 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E form a flow-down passage of a game ball to the third-class start winning port 7. Among the group of downflow guiding nails, the downflow guiding nail group 1E is on the left side of the variable winning apparatus 100, and when the variable winning apparatus movable section 102 of the variable winning apparatus 100 is in an open state, the variable winning apparatus moving section 102. Are planted so that the flow-down passage can be closed. Next, adjacent to the upper right side edge of the variable display device 20, a right winning a prize mouth regulation nail group 4 for restricting winning of a game ball into the right specific winning a prize mouth 4B of the variable display device 20.
C is planted. This is for the following reason. In the pachinko game machine according to the present invention, again during the right generation game state,
When a winning ball is won in the special winning opening 71 of the right generation device 5, the right generation game state disappears regardless of the number of times the special game is executed. Therefore, in order to prevent this, the right winning a prize mouth regulation nail group 4C is planted so that it is difficult for the game ball to win the right specific winning a prize mouth 4B of the variable display device 20 by hitting right during the right occurrence game state. .

In addition, even if the auxiliary variable display game happens to be hit, the variable display is provided so that the game balls do not win the auxiliary variable winning apparatus 50 which is opened again as long as the player hits the ball right. At the lower right position of the device 20 and at the upper right position of the right generation device 5, a movable part inflow regulation nail group 51A for preventing the game balls from flowing into the movable part 51 of the auxiliary variation winning device 50 is planted. Has been done.

In order to prevent the right generation game state from disappearing, the auxiliary variable display game is started when a game ball wins the left specific winning openings 4A, 4B of the variable display device 20 by chance during the right generation game state. Alternatively, the specific winning opening 4
The random number of the random number generation unit 1 having a low winning probability is used for each of the auxiliary variable display games started based on the memory of the winning in A and 4B.

The main part of the invention of the pachinko gaming machine is configured as described above except for the control system described later, and is generally as follows by the control means such as a microcomputer installed in the pachinko gaming machine. To work. When electricity is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine by operating a power switch (not shown), first, arbitrary symbols are displayed on the variable display A and the variable display B of the variable display device 20, respectively. Further, the rotating body 74 of the right generation device 5 starts rotating in the clockwise direction at a predetermined speed, and the effective random number display 10 is turned on. It should be noted that "0" is displayed on the third-class starting opening winning ball indicator 9. Further, the variable winning device movable portion 102 of the variable winning device 100 and the movable portion 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 are each maintained in a closed state.

At the time of such a normal game, the player aims at the leftmost nail 8A of the most advantageous top five nails and hits the game ball into the left side area of the game area 2 by the game ball launching device. When the game ball left-handed in this way wins the specific winning opening 4A, the winning is detected by the specific winning detector 22 attached to the back surface of the game board 1.

Based on the detection of the specific winning detector 22, the respective symbols of the variable display A and the variable display B of the variable display device 20 start to change independently. In addition,
The number of prizes that have won the specific prize opening 4A and for which the auxiliary variable display game is not played is displayed as the number of lights on the prize number storage display lamps LED1 to LED4.

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 the respective symbols of the variable display A and the variable display B start changing, a predetermined time elapses (6 seconds in this embodiment) or after the stop button (not shown) is pressed, the variable display The fluctuation of each of A and the variable display B is stopped. When the variable display A and the variable display B are stopped, it is determined whether or not the stopped symbols are hit. For example, when the stopped symbols are "3, 3", "7, 7" Has been done.

As a result of the determination, when the stopped symbol is a winning symbol, the movable portion 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is converted into the open state so that the game ball can be easily won. At this stage, the player operates the game ball launching device to hit the game ball to the left along the downflow direction regulating nail group 50A. Then, the game ball wins the winning area formed by the movable part 51 in the open state of the auxiliary variation winning device 50 along the downflow direction regulating nail group 50A. When three game balls are won in the movable part 51 of the auxiliary variable winning apparatus 50 in the open state, or when a predetermined time (6 seconds in this embodiment) has passed without winning three game balls, the movable part 51 Is converted to the closed state.

The movable part 5 when three game balls are won
1 is converted to a closed state. When a second game ball is won in the special prize port 71 of the rotating body 74, the right generation game state ends when the second prize is detected. Therefore, this is to prevent the occurrence of such a disadvantageous situation for the player.

The game ball that has won the auxiliary variation winning device 50 passes through the auxiliary variation winning device 50 count SW 53 (see FIG. 7) provided at the base of the movable portion 51, and the rotating body guiding portion 75 Once it falls to the lower part inside. Then, the dropped game ball enters either the general prize winning openings 72, 73 or the special prize winning opening 71 of the rotating body 74 which is rotated at the timing of dropping.

The game balls that have won the general winning awards 72, 73 are rotated together with the rotating body 74 while being accommodated in the general winning aces 72, 73, and are rotated by a predetermined angle from the bottom of the rotating body guiding portion 75. After that, the general winning ball exit 85 described later
(See FIG. 7), a predetermined number of prize balls are played by flowing into a prize ball discharging device (not shown) through the general prize ball passage 86 (see FIG. 7). On the other hand, the game balls that have won the special winning opening 71 at the right time rotate together with the rotating body 74 while being housed in the special winning opening 71, and rotate a predetermined angle from the bottom of the rotating body guiding portion 75, which will be described later. Special winning ball exit 8
8 (see FIG. 7) passes through the back surface of the game board 1. Then, the special prize detector 8 attached to the back surface of the game board 1
After passing through 9 (see FIG. 7), it flows into a prize ball discharging device (not shown), and a predetermined number of prize balls are formed. When the winning of the game ball is detected by the special winning detector 89, the gaming state becomes the right generation gaming state.

By the way, in the right generation game state, since the nails in the right side area of the game area 2 are specially arranged as described above, it is more advantageous for the player to hit the right side. Explaining with reference to FIG. 2, a player operates a launching device so as to make a game ball flow down between the guide rail 3 in the upper right part of the game area 2 and the downflow guide nail group 1A. The game ball that has passed between the guide rail 3 and the downflow guide nail group 1A hits the downflow guide nail group 1B, the momentum is killed, and the game ball flows down along the downflow guide nail group 1C, and the general winning opening 13 From the upper side to the left side of the inflow guide nail group 1D, which is planted from the upper side to the left side of the general winning opening 13. Then, it reaches between the left side portion of the variable winning device 100 and the downflow guiding nail group 1E. At this point in time, the game ball has not won the third-class start winning port 7,
The variable winning device moving part 102 of the variable winning device 100 is in the shape of “C”, and the variable winning device moving part 10 is
2 will form the flow path of the game ball. Therefore, the game ball is the downflow guide nail group 1E and the variable winning device 100.
During this period, the third type starting winning opening 7 is won with a high probability. In addition, the downflow guide nail group 1A, 1
Adjusting nails 1F, 1G, 1H are planted in the downflow passage formed by B, 1C, 1D (see FIG. 2). It is possible to make the flow of the game ball of the item more reliable.

The winning of the game ball into the third-class starting winning opening 7 is detected by the third-class starting detector 7A. At the same time as the count is displayed, the special winning opening 101 of the variable winning a prize device 100 is converted into an open state, so that the inverted "C" shape is formed.

Then, the player continues to hit the right side.
Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the game ball flows down the downflow passage formed by the downflow guiding nail groups 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D. At this time, the variable winning device movable portion 102 is rotated in an inverted “C” shape, and the tip end of the variable winning device movable portion 102 is close to the downflow guiding nail group 1E. Therefore, the game ball is the variable winning device movable part 102
Concentrate on the winning area formed by the and the downflow guide nail group 1E, the game ball efficiently wins the big winning opening 101. On the other hand, the game ball that has reached the downflow guide restriction nail group 1E will block the downflow passage to the third-class start winning port 7, and the game ball will continue to the third-class starting winning port 7. You can prevent winning. The game balls that have won the special winning opening 101 are detected by the count SW 103, and the big winning opening 101 is converted to a closed state when 10 winnings are detected or 10 seconds elapse without winning 10 winnings. This completes one cycle of the special game. After that, when the game ball wins the third-class start winning port 7 through the downflow path formed by the downflow guiding nail groups 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, the variable winning device movable portion 102 is in the open state again. And the special game of the next second cycle is started.

In addition to the disappearance of the right generation game state on the way,
The right generation game state is continued until a total of 16 game balls are won in the third type starting winning opening 7, and the right generation game state disappears when the 16th game ball is won. Therefore, the special game that is played on the condition that the game ball wins the third-class starting winning opening 7 will be played up to 16 times. At the time when the special game is finished, if there is a memory of the winning based on the winning in the specific winning opening 4A, 4B, the auxiliary variable display game based on the memory is started, and if there is no memory, to the specific winning opening 4A, 4B The auxiliary variable display game is started by winning the game ball.

At the time when this first special game is finished, the auxiliary variable display game thereafter is played with a higher hit probability than the previous probability. This is to facilitate the generation of the right generation game state and continuously provide the player with the benefits of the special game. Due to the continuity of this special game, the player can obtain a large amount of acquired balls in a short time.

The auxiliary variable display game (called a high-probability auxiliary variable display game) which is started after the first special game is finished is an auxiliary variable display game (decrease probability auxiliary variable) which is executed before the first special game is finished. Display game)
Is controlled in the same way as. That is, the special winning opening 4 by left-handed
The high-probability auxiliary variable display game is started based on the winning of the game ball to A, and the movable portion 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is generated by the occurrence of the hit by the high-probability auxiliary variable display game.
Is released. Based on the opening of the movable part 51, the game balls flow into the sorting device 70, and the sorting devices 70 sort the game balls. As a result of classification, the special winning award 7
When the game ball flows into 1, the gaming state of the right generation gaming state occurs. After that, when the game ball is hit to the right through the downflow passage formed by the downflow guiding nail groups 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E and enters the third-class start winning port 7, the variable winning device 100 The variable winning device movable portion 102 is converted into the open state, and the special game is started. The special game is the same as the special game based on the result of the low-probability auxiliary variable display game, and the special winning opening 10 of the variable winning device 100 is used.
1 cycle of opening for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) (however, before the predetermined time elapses, the special winning opening 101
When a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 10) are won in the game ball, the opening up to that point is defined as one cycle, and the third game
For example, up to 16 cycles are continuously played on the condition that a game ball is won in the seed starting winning opening 7.

When the right game generation state of the special game based on the high-probability auxiliary variable display game occurs, the auxiliary variable display game is returned to the one with a low winning probability again. This is to allow the player to secure the continuity of the special game at least twice. In addition, each of the above-mentioned winning holes 6, 7, 4
When a game ball is won in A, 4B, 8, 12, 13, 14, 101, or in each of the above-mentioned prize winning openings 71, 72, 73

The variable display control means 403, 404 also sends the variable stop signal to the symbol stop determination means 409.

The symbol stop determination means 409 determines whether or not the stop symbol hits when the determination request signal is input from the operation timing control means 402. As a result of this judgment, in the case of a hit (stopping pattern is 3, 3 or 7,
In the case of 7), the symbol stop determination means 409 sends a hit signal to the drive control means 417. The drive control means 4
Reference numeral 17 is the auxiliary variable winning device 50 based on the hit signal.
When a solenoid signal is sent to the solenoid 58, the movable portion 51 is rotated in an inverted "C" shape and controlled to an open state. As a result, the movable portion 51 of the auxiliary variation winning device 50
It is easy for the game ball to flow into the winning area formed by.

The symbol stop determination means 409 also outputs the hit signal to the sound effect generation means 421, and based on the hit signal, the sound effect generation means 421 informs the player of the hit of the auxiliary variable display game. The speaker 17 is controlled so as to generate such a sound.

At this point, the player moves the game ball to the movable part 5
When the game ball launching device is operated so as to enter the winning area 1 and left-handed, and the game ball is allowed to flow down the downflow direction regulating nail group 50A, the game ball is moved to the rotating body guiding portion 75. It flows into the game ball inlet 81, and then passes through the count SW 53.

When the game ball passes through the count SW 53, the passage is detected by the count SW 53, and the winning detection signal is sent to the winning number counting means 418. The winning number counting means 418 adds the total number of winning balls that have won in the count SW 53 based on the detection signal.
Is counted. As a result of the counting, when the added value exceeds a predetermined limit (for example, the maximum value is "3"), the winning number counting means 418 outputs a 3 count signal to the drive control means 417. When the drive control means 417 outputs a solenoid closing signal to the solenoid 58 based on the 3 count signal, the solenoid 58 is demagnetized and the movable portion 51 is converted to the closed state. Further, the drive control means 417 has a built-in timer which is turned on when the hit signal is input, and the timer is turned off after a predetermined time (6 seconds in this embodiment). A solenoid closing signal is output from the drive control means 417 to the solenoid 58. As a result, the solenoid 58 is demagnetized and the movable portion 51 is converted to the closed state.

The drive control means 417 also outputs the solenoid signal to the sound effect generation means 421, and based on the solenoid signal, the sound effect generation means 421 informs the player of the movable part 51 of the auxiliary variation winning apparatus 50. The speaker 17 is controlled so as to generate a sound indicating that the speaker is open.

When the game ball that has passed through the count SW 53 enters the special prize receiving port 71 of the rotating body 74 and passes through the special prize detecting device 89 from the special prize ball outlet 88, the special prize detecting device 89 is activated. The special winning detection signal is output to the right generation game state control means 420. Based on the special winning detection signal, the right generation game state control means 420 controls the sound effect generation means 421 and the display control means 422 respectively to notify the player that the pachinko game has entered the right generation game state. Output the generated signal. As a result, the sound effect generation unit 421 controls the speaker 17 to generate a sound effect, and the display control unit 422 controls the right generation game state display 18 to display a predetermined display.

Also, the right generation game state control means 420
The OR gate 43 is also provided in the random number change state detecting means 407.
The right generation signal is output via 1. The random number change state detecting means 407, which has received the right generation signal, outputs a random number change signal to the random number selecting function means 408. At the stage of inputting the random number change signal, the random number selection function means 40
The output terminal Q of the flip-flop 600 of No. 8 becomes "1" in synchronization with the rising of the right generation signal, and the output terminal Q becomes "0" and is changed to the set state. At the same time, the terminal Q bar of the flip-flop 600 outputs a "0" state signal to the terminal D.

By the way, at this time, the right end signal indicating the end of the right generation game state is not output to the AND gate 700 from the third type starting prize counting means 424, and the output terminal of the flip-flop 600. Q
Since the bar is in the state of "0", the reset signal is not input to the reset terminal R of the flip-flop 500. Therefore, the output terminal Q of the flip-flop 500 is maintained in the state of "0" and the output terminal Q is maintained in the reset state of "1". As a result, the random number selection function means 408 outputs the random number selection signal S1, so that the random number of the auxiliary variable display game remains the same, that is, the random number of the random number generation unit 405. This is because if the random number is changed to one with a high probability of winning at the time when the right-generating game state occurs, the auxiliary variable display game may hit again and the right-generating game state may disappear. ..

During the game in the right-generating game state, the player starts right-handing and the game ball moves to the downflow guide nail group 1A, 1
When a prize is won in the third-class starting winning port 7 through B, 1C, 1D, 1E, the winning is detected by the third-class starting detector 7A, and a detection signal for each winning is the special game control means 4
23 is output. When the game state is the right generation game state, the special game control means 423 inputs the right generation signal from the right generation game state control means 420, and the special game control means 423 outputs the right generation signal based on the right generation signal. The detection signal is controlled to be valid. Therefore, even if the game ball wins the third-class start winning port 7 during the game state other than the right-generating game state, and the third-class start detector 7A detects the winning, the detection signal is invalid. No special games will be started.

On the basis of the effective detection signal, the special game control means 423 outputs a winning number signal to the third type starting prize counting means 424 every time the effective detection signal is inputted. Based on the effective detection signal, the special game control means 423 outputs a special winning opening operation start signal to the variable winning device drive control means 427. The variable winning device drive control means 427 which has received the special winning opening operation start signal outputs an opening operation signal to the special winning opening solenoid 426 which opens and closes the variable winning device moving portion 102. As a result, the special winning opening 101 of the variable winning device 100 is converted to an open state, the game balls are easily put into the special winning opening 101, and the special game of the first cycle is started.

The variable winning device drive control means 427
Also outputs the opening operation signal to the sound effect generating means 421, and based on the opening operation signal, the sound effect generating means 421.
Is a variable winning device moving part 1 of the variable winning device 100
The speaker 17 is controlled so as to generate a sound that notifies the opening of 02. Further, the variable winning device drive control means 427 outputs a special winning opening operating signal to the special game control means 423 while the special winning opening solenoid 426 is operating. As a result, the special game control means 423 controls the variable winning device drive control means 427 so as not to output the special winning opening operation start signal even in response to the validity detection signal.

As a result of the player continuing right-handing during the special game of the first cycle, the downflow guide nail group 1
When a game ball wins the special winning opening 101 through A, 1B, 1C, 1D, the winning is detected by the count SW 103. Then, the count SW 103 outputs a detection signal every time the winning of the game ball is detected, the winning number counting means 428.
The winning number counting means 428 counts the winning number based on the detection signal. The winning number counting means 428
Outputs a 10-count signal to the variable winning device drive control means 427 when the count value of the number of winning prizes reaches “10”.

The variable winning device drive control means 427, to which the 10 count signal is input, is used for the special winning opening solenoid 4
A closing signal is output to 26, and the special winning opening 101 is controlled to be in a closed state. Further, 10 game balls are not won in the special winning opening 101 for a predetermined time (10 in this embodiment).
Even when the number of seconds has elapsed, the variable winning device drive control means 427 outputs a closing signal to the special winning opening solenoid 426 to control the special winning opening 101 to be in a closed state. At this stage, the special game of the first cycle ends.

As described above, the variable winning device drive control means 427 outputs a special winning opening operating signal to the special game control means 423 while the special winning opening solenoid 426 is operating, and the special game control means 423 It is controlled not to output the special winning opening operation start signal to the variable winning device drive control means 427. That is, the special game control means 423 outputs a special winning opening operation start signal to the variable winning device drive control means 427 in response to the storage of the winning in the third type starting winning opening 7, and the special game of each cycle. After the end, the control of outputting the special winning opening operation start signal to the variable winning device drive control means 427 in response to the memory of the winning is not performed again.

On the other hand, based on the validity detection signal, the special game control means 423 outputs a prize number signal to the third type starting prize counting means 424 every time the validity detection signal is inputted, and the third type starting. The prize counting means 424 counts each time the prize number signal is input. Then, a count signal is output to the display control means 425 for each count, and the display control means 425 is controlled based on the count signal so as to display the number of winnings on the third-class start mouth winning number indicator 9. ..
Therefore, the number of winning prizes displayed by the third-class starting opening winning prize indicator 9 does not always match the number of special games actually performed.

Then, the third type starting prize counting means 424
Outputs a right end signal to the right generation game state control means 420 when the counted value becomes "16", and the right end signal is the right generation game state control means 420.
Is output to the sound effect generation means 421 and the display control means 422 via the. The sound effect generation means 421 controls the speaker 17 to output a sound effect to inform the player of the end of the right generation game state, and the display control means 425 controls the right generation game state indicator 18 to output the right state. The content for informing the player of the end of the generated game state is displayed.

Also, the third-type starting prize counting means 424.
Outputs the right end signal to the random number change state detecting means 407 via the OR gate 431. The random number change state detecting means 407 outputs a random number change signal to the AND gate 700 of the random number selecting function means 408 based on the right end signal. At this stage, the terminal Q of the flip-flop 600 is in the "1" state. Therefore, the state of the flip-flop 500 changes in synchronization with the rising of the right end signal, the output terminal Q changes to the state of "1", and the output terminal Q bar changes to the state of "0". As a result, the random number selection function means 408 causes the random number extraction means 410 to extract the random number of the random number generator 2.
The random number selection signal S2 is output. Based on the random number selection signal S2, the random number extraction means 410 extracts and stores the random number from the random number generator 2. Also, the random number selection function means 4
08 also outputs a random number selection signal S2 to the display control means 416, and based on the signal, the display control means 416 causes the effective random number indicator 11 to be lit and displayed so that a high probability assistance based on the random number of the random number generation unit 406. The variable display game is ready to start. Such control enables the player to continuously enjoy the special game even after the first special game is finished, and to obtain more prize balls.

When a game ball is won in the special winning opening 4A of the variable display device 20, the winning is stored in the winning storing means 401, and the winning storing means 401 outputs the winning storing signal to the random number extracting means 410. .. At this stage, the random number extraction means 410 always picks up a random number from the random number generator 2, and extracts the random number in association with the winning memory signal. As a result, the winning probability of the auxiliary variable display game is 1/8.
The high-probability auxiliary variable display game is played under the same control procedure as the control procedure for the low-probability auxiliary variable display game described above.

When a hit occurs in the high-probability auxiliary variable display game, the right generation game state control means 420 outputs a right generation signal to the random number change state detection means 407 via an OR gate 431. When the random number change state detecting means 407 outputs a random number change signal to the flip-flop 600 of the random number selecting function means 408, the flip-flop 600 becomes a state in which the terminal Q is "0" in synchronization with the rising edge of the right generation signal. It changes and the terminal Q bar is "1".
Changes to the state of. When the terminal Q-bar outputs a reset signal to the reset terminal R of the flip-flop 500, the flip-flop 500 changes to a state in which the terminal Q is "0" and a state in which the terminal Q-bar is "1". Is returned to the same state as when the power was turned on. As a result, the random number selection function unit 408 outputs the random number selection signal S1 so that the random number extraction unit 410 extracts the random number of the random number generation unit 1. The random number selection signal S1
Based on the random number extracting means 410,
The random number from is extracted and stored. The random number selection function means 408 also outputs a control signal to the display control means 415, and the effective random number display 10 is lit and displayed by the display control means 415 based on the control signal. Therefore, when the right occurrence gaming state occurs in the high-probability auxiliary variable display game following the low-probability auxiliary variable display game, the winning probability of the auxiliary variable display game is changed to 1/80. As a result, even if the game ball happens to enter the specific winning opening 4A of the variable display device 20 and the auxiliary variable display game is started, it is controlled so that a hit does not easily occur, and the player continuously enjoys the special game. You can do it.

When this continuous special game is finished by winning 16 game balls in the third type starting winning opening 7,
The third-class starting prize counting means 424 is an OR gate 431.
The right end signal is output to the random number change state detecting means 407 via. The right end signal is input to the AND gate 700 of the random number selection function means 408. At this time, the terminal Q of the flip-flop 600 is in the "0" state, and the signal is output to the flip-flop 500. Therefore, the flip-flop 500 maintains the reset state as before, and the random number extracting means 41
The random number selection signal S1 is continuously output to 0. As a result, after the continuous special game is finished, the low probability auxiliary variable display game based on the random number by the random number generation unit 405 is continuously played.

Therefore, in the pachinko game according to the present invention, one special game is formed from the state in which the low-probability auxiliary variable display game can be started to the end of the continuous special games in the high-probability auxiliary variable display game. It will be.

In the above embodiment, as the signal for changing the random number, the right generation signal output by the right generation game state control means 420 and the right end signal output by the third type starting prize counting means 424 are used. Any signal other than these signals may be used. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the random number of the random number generator 2 may be selected based on the special prize detection signal output from the special prize detector 89, or a predetermined number of game balls have been launched. A fixed number of launch balls signal output by the launch ball detector may be used. Also, by detecting the number of winning balls that have won the specific winning opening 4A,
When the predetermined number of winning balls has been reached (for example, 50), the specific winning number detector 22 may output a constant winning number signal, and the constant winning number signal may be used, or the number of out balls (eg 1000). A fixed number of collected balls output from a collected ball detector for detecting the number of collected balls may be used, or when the difference obtained by the number of collected balls minus the number of prize balls discharged exceeds a predetermined number (for example, 500 pieces). The random number of the random number generator 2 may be selected based on the output fixed number of signals.

The signals may be combined. For example, in synchronization with the rising edge of the special prize detection signal output from the special prize detector 89, the random number is changed to the random number of the random number generator 406,
The random number may be changed to the random number of the random number generation unit 405 in synchronization with the rising of the fixed number of collected spheres signal.

Further, when the plurality of signals are input to the random number change state detecting means 407A, any one of the plurality of signals is used for the random number change state detecting means 407A as shown in FIG. It is also possible to provide a setting selection means 407B capable of selecting whether or not. The setting selection means 40
7B is operated externally, for example, by an external selection switch SW provided on the base of a pachinko gaming machine or a management device of a game store, and a random number change specified based on a setting command signal output from the external selection switch SW. A signal is output to the random number selection function means 408A. Then, for example, when the game store selects the right generation signal by the external switch SW of the management device, the setting selection means 407B validates only the right generation signal and only when the right generation signal is input, the random number change signal. Is output to the random number selection function means 408A.

In the above embodiment, the number of winning balls stored in the specific winning openings 4A and 4B is "4", but the number is not limited to this and may be "4" or more. Although the random number generator uses two random number generators, two or more random number generators may be used.

A winning ball indicator for displaying the number of gaming balls won to the count SW 53 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is added to the game board configuration of the embodiment, and the winning number counting means 418 is added.
You may provide the display control means which controls the said winning ball indicator based on the signal which this outputs. In this way, the player can make clear the stepwise progress of the game. Further, an operation number indicator for displaying the number of times the variable winning device moving part 102 of the variable winning device 100 is operated is added to the game board configuration of the embodiment, and the special winning opening operation start signal output by the special game control means 423 is added. Based on the special winning opening operation start counting means for counting the start of operation of the special winning opening 101, the display control means controlled by the special winning opening operation starting counting means may control the operation number indicator. Good.
