The interest in pachinko games has been significantly improved.

In this embodiment, the auxiliary game device 5 having the above-described structure is provided in the approximate center of the game area 4, while a plurality of obstacle nails are planted in the game area 4 as shown in FIG. Provided below the game area 4, a variable prize device 30 capable of converting into a first state, which is disadvantageous to the player, and a second state, which is advantageous to the player, is provided on the right and left sides of the variable prize device 30. A mouth 31 is provided. In addition, a special prize detector 32 for detecting a winning ball is provided in the special prize hole 31.
Face.

The variable winning device 30 is a so-called attacker, in which a horizontally long door-shaped ball receiving member 35 is openably and closably attached to a horizontally long ball entrance 34 formed in a substrate 33, and the ball receiving member 35 is a solenoid or the like. It is connected to the drive source SOL1. Therefore, in the variation winning device 30, the ball receiving member 35 causes the ball entrance 3 by the bias of the spring when the drive source SOL1 is demagnetized.
4 is closed and the 1st state which does not accept a game ball is maintained.
Then, when the drive source SOL1 is excited by the power supply from the electrical control device 36 and the ball receiving member 35 rotates forward, the ball receiving member 35 is opened, and the ball is converted into the second state in which the ball easily enters. In this state, when a ball flowing down the game area 4 falls onto the ball receiving member 35, this ball enters the back frame from the ball inlet 34 due to the downward inclination of the upper surface of the ball receiving member 35, and flows down the ball passage. After acting on the 10 count detector 37,
It is discharged to the back side of the game board 1 and becomes a winning ball.

The pachinko machine according to the present invention includes the detectors 14, 18, 21, 25, 32 and the solenoid 2 described above.
3. A drive source SOL1 and the like are electrically connected to an electric control device 36 provided as a control means on the back side of the game board 1 so that the game is advanced under the control of the electric control device 36. There is.

The game in the pachinko machine having the above-mentioned structure will be described below.

When the player operates the hitting ball launching part by operating the launching operation part on the front of the pachinko machine and launches one game ball in the supply plate into the game area 4, the game ball enters the game area 4. A game ball hits an obstacle nail and is flown down while being played.

Then, a lucky ball enters the inflow port 12 of the armor portion 11 of the auxiliary game device 5, and flows into the special game area 8 from the guide gutter 13. This ball falls on the upper surface of the diversion shelf 27,
The course changing member 16 changes the course at random to drop onto the bottom plate 15, and further flows down on the bottom plate 15 toward the front edge. At this time, the player is lucky to win the specific winning opening 17 or the general winning opening 19 to eject the prize ball. That is, in this embodiment, a game in which the balls are classified into either the specific winning opening 17 or the general winning opening 19 by using the auxiliary gaming device 5 is set as an auxiliary game.

Balls that have not won any of the winning openings 17 and 19 flow to the ball firing position 24 of the re-challenge means 22 and are fired upward by the solenoid 23, and again by the direction setting section 26 the flow dividing shelf 27. Then, the player will circulate in the special game area 8 until it falls on the bottom plate 15 and wins any of the winning openings 17 and 19, and the opportunity to win the specific winning opening 17 comes again. That is, the re-challenge means 22 arrives at the ball launch position 24 without winning any of the specific winning opening 17 and the general winning opening 19, based on a predetermined game result.
The auxiliary game is played by the auxiliary game device 5.

Then, in the auxiliary game, a specific winning opening 17
When a game ball enters, the game ball is activated as a special prize detector 18 and then flows out to the back side of the game board 1 as a prize ball, while the specific prize detector 18 is a special prize ball as a special game state detection signal. A special game in which the detection signal is supplied to the electric control device 36 and the electric control device 36 changes the variable winning device to a second state based on a preset rule on condition that the signal is present. It creates a condition. That is, the electrical control device 3 according to the present embodiment
6 is a special game state in which the special game state detecting means (comprising the auxiliary game apparatus 5 and the specific prize detecting means 18 of the specific winning opening 17) can convert the variable winning apparatus 30 from the first state to the second state. On the condition that the special game state detection signal (for example, the specific winning ball detection signal output from the specific winning detector 18) is output, the variable winning device 30 is based on a preset rule. It is provided with a function as drive control means for converting to the second state.

Further, the game state of the pachinko machine is changed from the auxiliary game state to the special game state on the basis of the ball winning in the specific winning opening 17, so the auxiliary game is performed again by the re-challenge means 22. As a condition for this, it is added that the special game state detection signal (the specific winning ball detection signal from the specific winning detector 18 in this embodiment) has not been output yet. In addition, in the present embodiment, even after the detection signal from the specific winning detector 18 is output, if there is a ball that has reached the ball firing position 24, the solenoid 23 operates, so that the ball is special. Game area 8
Although it will be fired toward, no matter which of the general winning opening 17, 17 or the specific winning opening 19, this auxiliary ball has already completed the auxiliary game, the operation of the solenoid 23. Is not considered as a re-challenge to auxiliary games.

In the special game state in this embodiment, the electrical control unit 36 converts the first control state to the second control state on condition that the specific prize detector 18 detects a ball, and the special prize hole 31. In the second control state in which the special prize detector 32 can effectively detect the game ball, the variable prize device 30 can be opened to win the game ball on the condition that the special prize detector 32 detects the game ball. 3 Convert to control state. The stop condition is satisfied when either 10 seconds elapses after the conversion to the third control state, or 10 game balls are won, and the stop condition is substantially satisfied 8 times. Until, that is, after the variable winning device 30 is opened, 10
If one cycle elapses after the elapse of a second, or until 10 game balls enter during that period, the game can be repeated substantially up to 8 cycles.

Incidentally, when a game ball enters the special winning opening 31 and the special prize detector 32 detects the game ball, the above cycle is updated each time, but the game ball of the auxiliary game device 5 is in the special game state. When the specific winning opening 17 is won, the special game state is ended at that time regardless of the number of remaining cycles. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when eight gaming balls are won in the special winning opening 31, the special gaming state is terminated at that time regardless of the updated effective number of cycles. However, when the number of remaining cycles remains, the game can be played only once in the third control state apart from the cycle update.

Further, in this embodiment, in order to make the player recognize the conversion of the control state, the light emitting body 29 provided behind the rear wall 28 of the auxiliary game apparatus 5 blinks when the control state is converted to the second control state. Is made faster than in the first control state, and the lamp display 38 provided at the upper end of the game board 1 and the lamp display 39 arranged on the left and right of the game area 4 blink or light up, and the third control When the state is converted, the lamp indicator 40 provided in the variable winning apparatus 30 blinks.

In the second control state in which the light emitter 29 or the like is blinking or lit, the game ball is lucky and the special winning opening 3
When the special prize detector 32 detects a game ball and transfers a signal to the electric control device 36, the electric control device 3 is entered.
6 rotates the ball receiving member 35 of the variable winning device 30 to the front so as to convert the ball receiving member 35 into the third control state in which the ball easily enters. In addition, the game ball that has entered the special winning opening 31 flows out to the back side of the game board 1 to become a prize ball, and the prize ball discharging device is operated.

When the variable winning device 30 is opened and converted to the third control state of the first cycle, the luminous body 2 of the auxiliary game device 5
9 blinks and the lamp display 38 of the variable winning device 30 blinks or lights to visually display to the player that the third control state has been reached. In this third control state,
As described above, when the game ball enters the specific winning opening 17, the special gaming state ends at that point, and the special winning opening 3
Even if the game ball enters 1 and the cycle is updated, it is a loss, so be careful not to enter the game ball into the special winning opening 31 or the specific winning opening 17 and aim to enter the ball entrance 34 of the variable winning device 30 as much as possible. The game ball is fired. By configuring the game in this way, it is possible to give a sense of urgency to the contents of the game, and it is possible to further enhance the interest of the game because the player can perform technical intervention.

Then, the game balls that have won the ball entrance 34 pass through the ball passage and after operating the 10-count detector 37, flow out to the back side of the game board 1 to become prize balls. When the 10 count detector 37 detects a game ball, it transmits a count signal to the electric control device 36. Then, when the stop condition is satisfied after 10 seconds have elapsed after the electric control device 36 counted 10 winning balls or converted to the third control state, the electric control device 36 changed the winning prize device 30. Drive source S
The OL1 is demagnetized to end the first cycle and return to the second control state.

Next, when the game ball enters the special winning opening 31 in the returned second control state, a signal is transmitted to the electric control device 36, and the electric control device 36 puts the variable winning device 30 in the second state again. It is converted and updated in the second cycle.

In this way, when the game ball enters the specific winning opening 17 of the auxiliary gaming device 5 and the special game state is started,
Every time a game ball enters the special winning opening 31, the cycle is updated and up to 8 cycles are updated. However, when the game ball enters the specific winning opening 17 of the auxiliary gaming device 5 again or eight game balls enter the special winning opening 31, regardless of the number of times the cycle is updated (8 times), The special game state is ended at the ending condition (10 pieces or 10 seconds) of the special game state at the time point, and the state returns to the first control state.

In addition, the number of winning balls to the special winning opening 31 on the digital first display means 41 provided on the mounting board 6 of the auxiliary game device 5, the second digital type provided at the upper left end of the game board 1.
The number of cycle updates is visually displayed on the display means 42.
Further, the 10-count display 43 having 10 light-emitting diodes 43 'provided at the lower portion of the central opening 7 of the mounting board 6 of the auxiliary game device 5 is turned on to make the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 30 visible. indicate.

As described above, the special game state detecting means of the pachinko machine according to the present invention is the game area 4 of the game board 1.
Auxiliary game means provided with the auxiliary game device 5 used for the auxiliary game set in advance and outputting a special game state detection signal based on the auxiliary game result in the auxiliary game executed using the auxiliary game device 5 ( For example, a predetermined game result is obtained on condition that the auxiliary game device 5, the specific prize detector 18, the electric control device 36, etc.) and the special game state detection signal from the auxiliary game means are not output. Based on the above, the re-challenge means 22 for performing the auxiliary game by the auxiliary game apparatus 5 again is provided, so that the special game state from the auxiliary game means is obtained as the auxiliary game result performed by using the auxiliary game apparatus 5. When the detection signal is not output and the auxiliary game result is the predetermined game result, the operation condition of the re-challenge means 22 is satisfied, and the re-challenge means 22 operates. Since the auxiliary game can be played again by and, the playability of the auxiliary game itself can be improved, and the number of times of occurrence of the auxiliary game is increased by the operation of the re-challenge means 22, thereby changing from the auxiliary game to the special game. The probability also increases.

Therefore, the pachinko machine according to the present invention is
Compared to special games, it does not only enhance the interest of a relatively small number of players who were able to experience a special game state that was set to occur relatively rarely, as with conventional pachinko machines. Because the auxiliary games that are frequently performed enhance the interest in the game given to the player,
The original interest of the pachinko game can be given to many players, and it becomes possible to exert a sufficient function as a pachinko machine.

Next, the auxiliary game device 5 and the variable winning device 30
The electric control device 36 for controlling the operation of the above as described above will be described. For convenience of explanation, signals are represented by H level “H” and L level “L”.

In the embodiment of the electric control device 36 shown in FIG. 4, the specific winning award detector 18 of the auxiliary game device 5 is connected to the input side of the first D flip-flop FF1, and the first D
The inverted Q output side of the flip-flop FF1 is connected to the D input side, and the Q output side is connected to the sound effect generation circuit SG and the lamp drive circuit LD. When the first D flip-flop FF1 is reset, the inverted Q output is "H", and this "H" is input to the D input.

In this state, when the game ball enters the special winning opening 17 of the auxiliary game device 5, the specific winning detector 18 detects the game ball and sends an "H" signal to the input side of the first D flip-flop FF1. . Upon receiving this "H", the first D flip-flop FF1 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 activates the sound effect generation circuit SG to generate a sound effect from the speaker SP, and also activates the lamp drive circuit LD to change the light-emitting body 29 of the auxiliary gaming device 5 to fast blinking, and at the same time of the game board 1. The lamp indicator 38 provided at the upper end blinks and the second
Notify the player that the control state has been converted.

Further, the first D flip-flop FF1
The "H" output of is sent to one input side of the AND gate G1 so that the game ball that has entered the special winning opening 31 can be detected by the special winning detector 32. Therefore, in this state, the game ball enters the special winning opening 31, and the signal of the special prize detector 32 that detects the game ball is input to the other input side of the AND gate G1 via the waveform shaping circuit WSC1, The AND of the gate G1 is taken and the count signal "H" is sent to the input side of the first counter CNT1.

The first counter CNT1 has a special winning opening 31.
The entered game balls are memorized and stored, and the stored contents are visually displayed on the digital first display means 41 via the first decoder DEC1. Q0 of the first counter CNT1
One input side of the comparator circuit COMP is connected to the Q3 output, the other input side of the comparator circuit COMP is connected to the Q0 to Q3 outputs of the second counter CNT2, and the comparator circuit COMP is connected.
Is connected to one input side of an AND gate G3 via an OR gate G2.

The output side of the AND gate G3 is connected to the input side of the second D flip-flop FF2, and the inverted Q output of the second D flip-flop FF2 is one input and the output of the AND gate G4 is the other input. And
The inverted Q output of the second D flip-flop FF2 is "H", and this "H" is supplied to one input side of the AND gate G4, and "H" is input to the other input side via the delay circuit DL. Supplied.

The comparison circuit COMP includes a first counter CNT.
The output of 1 and the output of the second counter CNT2 are compared, and if the stored value of the first counter CNT1 is larger than the stored value of the second counter CNT2, "H" is sent to one input side of the AND gate G3. Therefore, AND is taken by "H" from the AND gate G4, and "H" is sent to the input side of the second D flip-flop FF2, and the flip-flop F
Set F2.

The second D flip-flop FF2 has its Q output side connected to the second counter CNT2 via the differentiating circuit DIF1 and also via the driver, the drive source SOL1 of the variable winning device 30 and the AND gate G5. It is connected to each lamp indicator 11 ', 38, 39, 40 provided on the game board 1. Therefore, when the second D flip-flop FF2 is set, the Q output becomes "H", and the "H" causes the lamp indicators 11 ', 38, 39 and 40 to generate the oscillator OSC.
Flashes in synchronization with 2. Further, at the same time as these operations, the driving source SOL1 is excited by "H" from the second D flip-flop FF2, and the variable winning device 30 is converted into the second state in which the game balls can win, and the first cycle is started.

When the variable winning device 30 is converted into the second state in this way, the second state is maintained until the stop condition is satisfied, and the game ball is in the state in which the prize can be won. In this embodiment, the stop condition of one of the number of winning balls set in the third counter CNT3 for counting and inputting the signal from the 10-count detector 37 of the variable winning device 30 and the time set in the timer TM1 is satisfied. Sometimes variable winning device 30
Is returned from the second state to the first state and the cycle is ended. That is, the maximum cycle duration is 10
The output side of the timer TM1 in which seconds are set is the differentiation circuit DIF2.
Is connected to one input side of the OR gate G6 via an output terminal of the OR gate G6, and the output side of the OR gate G6 is connected to the second D flip-flop FF2.
Connect to the reset input side of. Also, the third counter CN
The Q1 output side and the Q3 output side of T3 are connected to the respective input sides of the AND gate G7, and the output side of the AND gate G7 is connected to the other input side of the OR gate G6.

Therefore, the game balls successively enter the variable winning device 30, the 10-count detector 37 detects one of these game balls, and the third counter CNT3 receives the "H" through the waveform shaping circuit WSC2. When a signal is sent, the counter CNT
3 counts the number of winning balls one by one and sequentially converts Q0 to Q3 outputs. Therefore, the winning number in the cycle can be displayed on the 10-count display 43 connected to Q0 to Q3 of the counter CNT3 via the third decoder DEC3. When 10 game balls are won in the variable winning device 30, the Q0 output of the third counter CNT3 is "L", the Q1 output is "H", the Q2 output is "L", and the Q3 output is "H", that is, " 10 ", the" H "signal is sent to the reset input side of the second D flip-flop FF2 via the OR gate G6, and the second D flip-flop FF2 is reset to end the first cycle.

On the other hand, when the set time of the timer TM1 of 10 seconds elapses before 10 game balls are won in the variable winning device 30, the "H" signal from the timer TM1 is sent to the second D flip-flop FF2 via the OR gate G6. It is sent to the reset input side, regardless of the number of winnings to the variable winning device 30
The D flip-flop FF2 is reset.

When the second D flip-flop FF2 is reset, the Q output is converted to "L", so that the drive source SO
L1 is demagnetized, and the variable winning device 30 returns from the second state in which it is easy to accept the game ball to the first state in which it does not accept the game ball at all, and the second counter CNT2 that counts due to the fall of the Q output is the second decoder DEC2. The number of end cycles is visually displayed on the digital second display means 42 via. When the second counter CNT2 counts, the output of the first counter CNT1 becomes the same,
The output of the comparison circuit COMP is converted into "L". Therefore,
In this state, the second D flip-flop FF2 is not set immediately. Further, when the second D flip-flop FF2 is reset, the inverted Q output is converted into “H”, so that “H” resets the third counter CNT3 and also resets the timer TM1.

In this state, the game ball enters the special winning opening 31 and the "H" signal from the special winning detector 32 is the first counter C.
Upon entering NT1, the comparison circuit COMP sends "H" to the AND gate G3 as described above. And gate G3
Uses the output of the AND gate G4 as the other input, and outputs "H" after a slight delay (1 second in the embodiment) after the AND gate G4 resets the second D flip-flop FF2 by the operation of the delay circuit DL. As it continues, the second D flip-flop F
Set F2 again. Therefore, the variable winning device 30 is converted into the second state again and updated in the second cycle. still,
Even if "H" is sent from the comparison circuit COMP to the AND gate G3 immediately after the end of the first cycle, the re-excitation of the drive source is delayed at least for the time set in the delay circuit DL of the AND gate G4. Therefore, after the ball receiving member 35 of the variable winning device 30 is completely closed by the bias of the spring,
By driving the drive source SOL1 again, the game ball is converted into the second state in which it is easy to receive.

In this way, the variable winning device 30 sets the timer TM1 to "10 seconds" or the third counter CNT.
Each time the stop condition of "10 pieces" set in 3 is satisfied, the ball is returned from the second state where it is easy to accept the ball to the first state where it is not accepted, and the next cycle is provided on the condition that the game ball enters the special winning opening 31. Will be updated. Then, the number of executed cycles is visually displayed to the player by the digital second display means 42.

The special prize detector 32 continues during the special game, that is, the first D flip-flop FF.
As long as 1 maintains the set state, it detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 31 and sends a cycle start signal to the first counter CNT1. Since the first counter CNT1 stores the signal from the special prize detector 32, the second counter CNT2 stores the number of completed cycles, and the comparison circuit COMP compares the two stored contents, the stored contents of the first counter CNT1. Until the exhaustion is exhausted, that is, until the number of game balls detected by the special prize detector 32 and the number converted into the second state by the variable winning device 30 match, the comparison circuit COMP outputs "H" and changes. The winning device 30 is repeatedly converted to the second state and the cycle is updated.

As long as the game balls continue to enter the special winning opening 31, if the cycle of the variable winning device 30 is updated without limit, the game will not be sound and the pachinko parlor will be greatly damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the profit per special game. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of game balls entering the special winning opening 31 is limited to eight, and the special winning detectors 32 to 8 are used.
When the third "H" is sent to the first counter CNT1 and the Q3 output becomes "H", this "H" is sent to the reset side input of the first D flip-flop FF1. Reset FF1.

When the first D flip-flop FF1 is reset, the Q output is converted to "L", and the AND gate G1 remains closed, so that the special prize detector 32 does not detect the game ball. Further, when the first D flip-flop FF1 is reset, the inverted Q output becomes “H”, so that this “H” acts as a reset signal for the first counter CNT1 and the second counter CNT2, and
It functions as a clock signal for the D flip-flop FF3.

The third D flip-flop FF3 has the output of the comparison circuit COMP connected to the D input side and the Q output side connected to one input side of the OR gate G2. And the first
Since the comparator circuit COMP outputs "H" when the eighth "H" is input to the counter CNT1, when the clock signal is input to the third D flip-flop FF3, D
"H" on the input side is sent from Q. Therefore, even if the first D flip-flop FF1 is reset, the second D flip-flop FF2 is set again by the operation of the third D flip-flop FF3.

When the second D flip-flop FF2 is set, the drive source SOL1 is excited as described above,
The variable winning device 30 is converted into the second state. When the stop condition of "10 counts" or "10 seconds" is satisfied, the second D flip-flop FF2 is reset, so that the variable winning device 30 returns to the initial first state.

The memory of the first counter FF1 is "7".
And when the 8th game ball enters the special winning opening 31 while the second counter FF2 is "7", the first D flip-flop FF1 is driven by "H" of Q3 of the first counter CNT1 in the same manner as above. Is reset, "H" is sent from Q of the third D flip-flop FF3 by "H" from the comparison circuit COMP, and the drive source SOL1 is excited again. Therefore, the variable winning device 30 will update the cycle substantially up to 8 times per one big hit. Even if the ninth game ball enters the special winning opening 31, one input side of the AND gate G1 is already "L" and the comparison circuit COMP does not send "H", so the variable winning device 3
The 0 never opens 9 times.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the inverted Q output is connected to the D input side of the first D flip-flop FF1, the auxiliary game is executed while the first D flip-flop FF1 is set and the special game is being performed. When the game balls that have entered the special game area 8 of the device 5 are sorted into the specific winning opening 17, the signal from the specific winning detector 18 causes the Q output to become a signal at the same level as the D input side. That is, when the game ball is sorted into the specific winning opening 17 during the special game, the Q output is converted to "L" from the inverted Q output. Therefore, it is reset, and the first counter CNT1 and the second counter CNT2 are reset by "H" from the inverted Q output side of the first D flip-flop FF1, and the special game state is ended.

However, when "H" is sent from the comparison circuit COMP before the first counter CNT1 and the second counter CNT2 are reset, that is, the first counter CN.
The number of game balls stored in T1 is the second counter CNT2
If the number of executed cycles is greater than the number of executed cycles stored in, the comparison circuit COMP held at the D input side when “H” is input from the inversion Q of the first D flip-flop FF to the third D flip-flop FF3. "H" is sent from Q. Therefore, in this case, the variable winning device 30 converts to the second state only once. By doing so, when a right in the special gaming state is generated and this right is deprived due to re-winning into the specific winning opening 17, the stored content of the first counter CNT1 is the stored content of the second counter CNT2. 3D flip-flop F
The extra profits from F3 can be given, so there is less disappointment to the player, and maximum profit (8 cycles)
You can balance the profit with.

The electric control device 36 of the present invention is the solenoid 23 of the re-challenge means 22 in the auxiliary game device 5.
Output of the sphere detector 25 to control the waveform shaping circuit W
It outputs to the timer TM2 through SC2, and the solenoid 23 is excited by the output of the solenoid drive circuit SD to launch the game ball.

The game ball that has won from the inflow port 12 turns on and blinks the light emitter 29 by turning on the inflow detector 14. Thus, by illuminating the special winning area 8 with the light emitter 29 while the game ball is present in the special winning area 8, the player's consciousness can be focused on the auxiliary gaming device 5, and the special winning area is also displayed. It is possible to remarkably enhance the interest of the pachinko game, for example, by raising 8 to make the player sufficiently confirm the existence of the game ball and increase the expectation of winning the prize in the specific winning opening 17.

FIG. 5 to FIG. 6 show another embodiment of the auxiliary game machine, and this auxiliary game machine 5'includes the re-challenge means 2
As a reference numeral 2 ', a pair of levers 4 which swing using a solenoid 23 as a drive source via a rack and pinion gear 44.

Similar to the above-described embodiment, the bottom plate 15 is provided with a specific winning opening 17, a path changing member 16 for changing the downward direction of the game ball, and a general winning opening 19.

Then, the game balls flowing into the special game area 8 from the ball inlet 12 provided in the armor 11 flow down on the bottom plate 15 toward the front edge, but do not win any of the winning openings 17 and 19. It flows down to the front edge of the bottom plate 15, and the lever 4
Gaming balls that do not pass the interval of 5, 45 swing lever 4
It is played at 5, 45, returned to the back of the special game area 8 and given the opportunity to win the specific winning opening 17 again. In addition, the game ball that slips through the gap between the levers 45, 45 enters the general winning opening 19 'at the front edge and becomes a winning ball.

The levers 45, 45 of the re-challenge means 22 '
When the game ball flows into the special game area 8, that is, the operation is started based on the detection output of the inflow detector 14, and is stopped after 5 seconds, for example. By thus activating the levers 45, 45 for a certain period of time or a certain number of times, it is possible to give the player a chance to try again. Then, the game balls that have flowed into the special game area 8 and have passed 5 seconds or more can be won in the general winning opening 19 '.

That is, the re-challenge means 22 'in the auxiliary game device 5'according to the present embodiment does not win the specific winning opening 17 or the general winning openings 19, 19 and the ball flows down to the front side. When the lever 45, 45 is in a game state in which it is operating as a predetermined game result, the auxiliary game is again performed by the auxiliary game device 5 '. Of course, in order to replay the auxiliary game, the special game state detection signal is not yet output from the auxiliary game means, and the game state of the pachinko machine has not transitioned from the auxiliary game state to the special game state. It becomes a condition.
