The drive source 14, the continuous winning award detector 23, and the award winning ball number detector 30 for detecting the balls entering the general award winning openings 8 provided at the bottom of the award winning apparatus 1.
Are respectively connected to an electric control device (not shown). In such a pachinko machine 25, when the ball flowing down in the game section 27 enters the first start end winning openings 28, 28 and the first start detector sends a signal to the control device, the control device sets each drive source 14 to a predetermined value. When the ball enters the second starting winning opening 29 and the second starting detector sends a signal to the control device, it is excited for a predetermined time (for example, 0.8 seconds twice) for a predetermined time (for example, 0.8 seconds once). .

When the drive sources 14 are excited, the left and right ball receiving pieces 10a, 10
From the first state in which b is upright, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 1,
Converts to a second state where you lie down and catch the ball. In this second state, when the ball that has flowed down in the game section 27 flows down onto the ball receiving pieces 10a and 10b in a timely manner,
The spheres flow down toward the inner ends 10a ″, 10b ″ due to the downward inclination of the upper surfaces of the sphere receiving pieces 10a, 10b. And
The spheres that have fallen off the tops of the ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b and flow down onto the ball guide plates 24, 24 in the winning room 13 on the way are the ball guide plates 2
It rolls on 4, 24 toward the back of the prize winning room 13, and from the inclined lower edge of the ball guide plates 24, 24 to the inclined bottom surface 12 of the case 12.
After falling on a, it flows down on the inclined bottom surface 12a toward the front, and when it comes out of the opening 4, it wins the general winning openings 8,8. On the other hand, the balls that have flowed down on the ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b and have rolled to the portions where the left and right inner end portions 10a ", 10b" are close to each other and face each other at intervals less than the ball diameter are The entrances 21 of the winning trough 20 enter through the inclined surfaces formed on the upper surfaces of the inner ends 10a "and 10b" of the 10a and 10b.

When the above-mentioned predetermined time has elapsed, the drive source 14 is demagnetized, so that the left and right ball receiving pieces 10a and 10b are connected to each spring 1.
The second state is restored to the first state by the bias of 9. When the left and right ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b return from the second state to the first state, the left ball receiving piece 10a rotates clockwise in FIG. 1 and the right ball receiving piece 10b rotates counterclockwise. Therefore,
The balls placed on the ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b, or the balls newly flowing down on the ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b are between the inner ends 10a ", 10b" of the descending ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b. It rapidly flows down on the ball receiving pieces 10a and 10b. Then, the inner end portions 10a ″ of the left and right ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b,
While the interval 10b ″ is smaller than the diameter of the sphere, the spheres are the inner end portions 10a ″, 1 of the left and right sphere receiving pieces 10a, 10b.
The inner end portions 10a "and 10b" while being supported by 0b "
It goes down with and until it comes off the lower edge of the opening of the inlet 21,
Due to the inclination of the inclined surface, the entrance 21 of the winning gutter 20 can be entered on the way down. Therefore, if the vertical length of the entrance 21 is increased, the probability of winning the winning gutter 20 when the ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b return from the second state to the first state increases.

In addition, when the ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b return from the second state to the first state, if the distance between the inner end portions 10a ″, 10b ″ of the left and right ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b becomes larger than the ball diameter, The balls placed on the pieces 10a, 10b drop through the inner end portions 10a ", 10b" of the left and right ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b, and most of them fall into the general winning openings 8, 8 to win the winning balls. Becomes

When the ball enters the winning gutter 20 as described above, the continuous winning detector 23 that detects the ball sends a continuation signal to the control device. When the control device receives a signal from the continuous winning detector 23, a special game advantageous to the player is started. In the present embodiment, converting the ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b from the first state to the second state 18 times for 0.5 seconds is defined as one cycle, and when the ball enters the inlet 21 during one cycle, the cycle is updated to the next cycle. It is possible to update this cycle 8 times. However, when the winning ball number detector 30 detects a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls in one cycle, the special game ends at that point.

When the first cycle of the special game starts, the controller excites the drive source 14 18 times for 0.5 seconds. Therefore, the first state in which the left and right ball receiving pieces 10a and 10b are erected is changed to the second state in which the ball receiving pieces 10a and 10b are erected, for 0.5 seconds 18 times. While this conversion is being performed, the ball that has flowed down the game unit 27 is the ball receiving piece 10a,
When dropped on 10b, the balls fall on the guide plates 24, 24 in the winning room 13 and then enter the general winning openings 8, 8 as described above, or the ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b come to the first position. Two
Left and right ball receiving pieces 10 when returning from the state to the first state
The general winning openings 8 and 8 are won through the inner end portions 10a ″ and 10b ″ of a and 10b. When the number-of-winning-balls detector 30 that detects these balls detects a predetermined number (10) of winning balls and sends a signal to the control device, the special game ends at that time regardless of the number of remaining cycles. . In addition, a digital display 31 is provided on the front surface of the general winning openings 8 of the winning device 1, and the winning ball number detector 3 is provided by the digital display 31.
The number of winning balls detected by 0 may be visually displayed to the player.

On the other hand, in the first cycle, the ball receiving pieces 10a, 10
When the ball that has flowed down on b is lucky to enter the entrance 21 of the winning gutter 20, the continuous winning detector 23 that detects this ball sends a continuation signal to the control device. Upon receiving the continuation signal, the control device updates the cycle and again excites each drive source 14 for 0.5 seconds 18 times. Therefore, the left and right ball receiving pieces 10a and 10b again convert from the first state to the second state 18 times for 0.5 seconds. Then, when a ball enters the entrance 21 of the winning gutter 20 in the second cycle, it is updated in the third cycle. In this way, the cycle is updated every time a ball enters the entrance 21 of the winning gutter 20 and is updated up to the eighth cycle, after which the cycle is updated even if a ball enters the entrance 21 of the winning gutter 20. Without
The special game is over. In addition, the ceiling surface 12b of the winning room 13
Cycle indicator 32 consisting of 8 light emitting diodes ...
May be provided, and the cycle number may be visually displayed by the light emission of the cycle indicator 32.

In the above-described embodiment, the ball receiving pieces 10a and 10b are set to 0.
18 times for 5 seconds 1 to convert from the first state to the second state
A cycle is set so that when the sphere enters the entrance 21 during one cycle, the cycle is updated to the next cycle, and the update of this cycle can be performed up to eight times. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is appropriately changed. Can be set to. For example, 1
During the cycle, 1 to 6 times are addressed for 0.5 seconds,
The ball receiving pieces 10a, 10 are arranged such that 7 to 12 times are addressed to 0.7 seconds, 13 to 18 times are addressed to 0.9 seconds, and so on.
b changes the time to maintain the second state, or the first, second and third cycles are for 0.8 seconds 18 times, the fourth cycle is for 0.5 seconds 18 times, and the fifth cycle is for 0.6 seconds 18 times.
The 6th cycle is for 0.7 seconds, 18 times, the 7th cycle is
The second state maintaining time of the ball receiving pieces 10a and 10b may be changed for each cycle, such as 18 times for 0.8 seconds and 18 times for 0.9 seconds in the eighth cycle. In this way, if the time for which the ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b maintain the second state in one cycle is changed, or the second state maintaining time of the ball receiving pieces 10a, 10b is changed for each cycle,
The special game can be changed, and the game can be made more interesting.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the winning gutter 20 in which the continuous winning detector 23 is provided at the exit 22 so as to function as a specific winning opening.
Although the entrance 21 is left fixed in the prize winning room 13, the entrance 21 may be moved vertically or horizontally by an appropriate method by driving a motor or the like. Entrance 2 like this
