Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately detect the number of times of a succession of V-operations so as to precisely grasp the characteristics of each game machine by causing continuation signal generation means to generate a continuation signal during a special playing condition according to entering of a ball into a specific prize winning scoring portion, and outputting the signal to the external, and checking the number of times of a succession of special operations during the special play each time a continuation signal is inputted. CONSTITUTION:If a game ball allowed into a fluctuating scoring device 2 during the opening and closing movement of an openable blade 21 in a first opening pattern is allowed into a V-prize winning scoring slot 22 and detected by SW, a big-prize signal is outputted to the management device of a Japanese pinball game (pachinko) parlor and, at that point, a first continuation signal is outputted to the management device of the parlor. When a WAIT playing condition is started, the output of the continuation signal is turned off, and if a pachinko ball allowed into the fluctuating prize winning scoring device 20 during the opening and closing movement of the openable blade 21 in a second opening pattern is allowed into the V-scoring slot 22, a second continuation singal is outputted. The management device thus receives the continuation signals which are outputted while the big-prize signal is being outputted, so that the characteristics of each game machine can be grasped.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine for performing a special game using a variable winning device, and more particularly to a gaming machine capable of notifying the gaming state of the variable winning device to the outside.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a pachinko gaming machine having a starting winning port and a variable winning device and performing the following games. First, when the game ball wins the starting winning opening, the opening / closing blades of the variable winning device are opened / closed based on the first opening / closing pattern. Next, during this opening and closing operation, the game ball enters the variable winning device and when it wins the continuation area provided in the variable winning device, it becomes a "big hit", and the opening and closing blades are based on the second opening and closing pattern. The opening and closing operation (called special operation or V operation) is performed to give the player a chance of a special game. During the operation of the second opening / closing pattern, the second opening / closing pattern is repeated a predetermined number of times on condition that the game ball wins the continuation area. At a gaming shop that manages "nail adjustment" etc. for such conventional pachinko gaming machines, in order to obtain information necessary for management for each gaming machine,
When a "big hit" occurs, a signal indicating the big hit is introduced into the management device of the game store so that the character of each gaming machine can be grasped. However, it is difficult to accurately grasp the characteristics of each gaming machine because it is not possible to know how many times the V motion will continue and the gaming machine will continue with only the "big hit" information. Therefore, depending on the game store, the number of continuations of the special action is calculated by the number of balls thrown out, or the game store independently installs a sensor that detects the number of times of opening / closing of the opening / closing blades to calculate the number of continuations. It is attached to detect the number of continuations.

[0003]

However, it is troublesome to install a continuation sensor independently at each amusement store, and even if each amusement store installs a continuation sensor, it is possible to accurately determine the continuation number of V operation. It is not always possible to grasp. If only one game ball is won in the continuation area during one V-motion, the number of continuations can be accurately grasped, but the game is continued in the continuation area during one V-motion. For example, if three balls are won, the number of continuations will be detected as if the number of continuations is "3", and it is impossible to grasp the exact number of continuations of the V motion. In addition, it is necessary to calculate the number of continuations from the number of times of opening / closing of the opening / closing blades, and a calculation means therefor is required, and it is also a complicated task for the game store to calculate the number of payouts. Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to accurately grasp the number of continuation of the V operation and accurately grasp the character of each gaming machine, and to easily manage the game such as nail adjustment. The purpose is to provide a machine.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the first condition is that a game ball wins a predetermined winning part.
Has a movable member that opens and closes based on a second opening and closing pattern on the condition that a game ball that flows in during the opening and closing enters a specific winning portion. A game provided with a variable winning device in which the movable member opens and closes the second opening and closing pattern a predetermined number of times on the condition that the game ball that flows in during opening and closing based on the opening and closing pattern of 2 wins the specific winning part. In the machine, it is detected that the movable member has won the specific winning portion while opening and closing in the first opening and closing pattern, a big hit signal is generated and the signal is output to the outside, and the movable member is When the game ball does not win the specific winning part during opening and closing with the opening and closing pattern of, or when the opening and closing of the second opening and closing pattern of the predetermined number of times is finished, the jackpot signal generation output is turned off. Means and a continuation signal for generating a continuation signal by detecting that the movable member has won the specific winning portion while the movable member is opening and closing in the first opening and closing pattern or the second opening and closing pattern, and outputting the signal to the outside. And a generating and outputting means.

[0005]

When the big hit signal generation output means outputs the big hit signal to the outside, the start of the special game is notified to the outside, and the output of the big hit signal is turned off to notify the end of the special game to the outside. . During the state of this special game, the continuation signal generation output means generates a continuation signal based on the winning of the game ball to a specific winning portion, and outputs the signal to the outside, the outside specially for each input of the continuation signal. It is possible to grasp the number of continuation of the special action during the game.

What is indicated by L1 and L2 is a lamp for displaying a game state, and although not shown, lamps L3 to L6 are attached to the game board as a game state display portion.

The main portion of the pachinko gaming machine is constructed as described above, and is controlled and operated as follows by a control means such as a computer system installed in the pachinko gaming machine. There is. When electricity is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine by operating a power switch (not shown), a lamp and an LED provided on the gaming board usually start displaying a gaming state. This normal game state is a game state from the start of the game until the game ball wins the starting opening 3, the starting opening 4 or the tulip 5. In this normal game state, the opening / closing wing 21 of the variable winning device 20 is in a closed state, the doll 80 is stationary in the center (initial position) of the game space 51 with the mouth 80b open, and the stopper 90 is set.
Is immersed in the bottom plate portion 60. Further, the symbol changing device 3
In 3, the mode symbols "B" and "N" alternately start scroll display, and the scroll display is performed at a speed that the player can follow with his / her eyes.

In such a game state, the player operates a firing dial (not shown) to cause the game ball to win the starting opening 3, 4 or tulip 5. as a result,
When the game ball wins the start opening 3 or the start opening 4, the opening / closing blade 21 of the variable winning device 20 opens and closes once, and when the game ball wins the tulip 5, the opening / closing blade 21 of the variable winning device 20 becomes 2. It is designed to open and close twice. When the game ball flows into the variable prize device 20 when the opening / closing blade 21 of the variable prize device 20 is in the open state, the game ball passes through the internal passage of the variable prize device 20 and the back 8 of the doll 80.
It moves from 0d toward the mouth 80b, falls into the game space 51, and is easy to win the V winning opening 22.

When the game ball that has won the variable winning device 20 wins the V winning opening 22, "1" is displayed on the continuation number display 35 at this time, and the scroll display of the mode pattern is "B". ] Or "N" is stopped, and then the weight game state for special games is entered.
In the weight game state, the mouth 80b of the doll 80 moves up and down to perform a "pakupaku" operation. When this "pakupaku" operation ends, "2" is displayed on the continuation number display, The first special operation in which the opening / closing blade 21 repeats opening / closing operations a predetermined number of times (18 times in this embodiment) is started.

In this case, if the mode design is "B", a special action is performed in the "mode A" game pattern, and if "N", the special action is performed in the "mode B" game pattern. Will be done. In the "mode A" game pattern in which the number of payouts is increased, the stopper 90 is controlled to project into the game space 51 at the same time as the start of the special operation. Further, the doll 80 starts the movement of the pendulum, and restarts the "punch" movement of the mouth 80b. The doll 8
Specifically, the pendulum operation of 0 is controlled so as to perform an operation of "3" stages according to the number of winnings to the variable winning device 20. For example, in the case of "0-5" prizes, the pendulum movement of the doll is controlled to be fast, in the case of "6-7" prizes, it is controlled to be slow, and in the case of "8-10" prizes, the doll is controlled. It controls to stop the movement of the pendulum.

Under such a state, when the opening / closing wing 21 is in the open state, the game ball flowing into the variable winning device 20 at a proper timing is detected by the SW4 and falls into the game space 51. When the doll 80 is moving in the center of the game space 51, the game ball falls to its back 80d, and when the mouth 80b is open (moving upward), it protrudes from the mouth 80b. Beyond above the stopper 90 (because the tip of the chin 80c of the doll 80 is higher than the protruding stopper 90), the player can easily enter the V winning opening 22 through the V passage 91. . When the game ball wins the V winning opening 22, the first special action ends at that point and the second special action is performed after the weight game state. Even when the doll 80 is moving near the initial position and the mouth 80b is opened, the doll 80 goes over the stopper 90 and wins the general winning opening 23 or the general winning opening 24. However, when the doll 80 swings to the left and right when the game ball falls into the game space 51, the game ball does not drop on the back portion 80d of the doll 80 and is stored in the stopper 90. Further, the game ball falling in a state where the mouth 80b is closed and one game ball is stored is stored in the stopper 90 by dropping from both sides of the mouth 80b (behind the temple). It

The SW 4 without winning the V winning opening 22
When the game ball is detected by 10 or the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing blade 21 is completed 18 times and the condition for ending the first special operation is satisfied, the stopper 90 is controlled to be immersed. . As a result, a plurality of game balls stored in the stopper 90 are collected in the winning area 32a, and the possibility of winning the V winning opening 22 increases and the winning of the V winning opening 22 is delayed. As a result, the number of balls will increase. When a game ball is won in the V winning opening 22, a second special operation is started after the weight gaming state, and a maximum of 15 times (the number of continuations is made on the condition that the V winning opening 22 is won. The display of the display unit 35 is "16", but the special operation is substantially performed 15 times.

On the other hand, in the "mode B" game pattern,
When the special game continues to the final round (15th) of the special operation, the stopper 90 is controlled to pop out only at the final round. Further, the doll 80 is controlled so as to continuously move until the SW4 detects the game ball "2", and it is difficult for the game ball to enter the V winning opening 22. After detecting "2", it is controlled to intermittently move so as to temporarily stop at the initial position. The doll 80
Stops at the center position, and the mouth 80
If b is opened and the stored game ball is dropped, V winning hole 2
Although the chances of winning the 2nd prize increase, the special action continues and the number of balls thrown out decreases. The stop symbol of the symbol changing device 33 is displayed until the special game ends.

In the above embodiment, the "pakupaku" motion of the mouth 80b of the doll 80 is the same in "mode A" and "mode B", but the "pakupaku" motion is controlled differently according to the game pattern. Good. For example, the length of time the mouth is open may be controlled to be different between “mode A” and “mode B”. Also, the pendulum operation of the doll 80 is different from that in the above-described embodiment. For example, in the case of "Mode A", the early winning of the V prize is avoided and the stored game balls are increased, so that the sphere is more than that in the above-mentioned embodiment. The speed of the pendulum operation may be controlled faster. Furthermore, the stopper 9
The operation of 0 is not limited to that of the above embodiment, and various control contents can be executed. For example, in the case of "mode B", the stopper 90 may be operated in the first half of the special operation, or conversely, the stopper 90 may be operated in the second half of the special operation.

Is fixed to the other end of the rod 90b protruding outward. The reciprocating movement is transmitted to the right end portion 901 of the crank member 90a, and the reciprocating movement is transmitted as the vertical movement to the upper end portion 900 with the intersecting portion 902 as a fulcrum.

The stopper 90 has an arcuate shape having a predetermined width sufficient to store game balls, and is erected in the accommodating portion 61a by the vertical movement transmitted to the transmission pieces 90d, 90d. The guide 67 is guided to move up and down.

The variable winning device 20, the various display devices, etc. of the gaming machine configured as described above are controlled by a computer 200 as shown in FIG. The computer 200 includes a CPU 200A and an RO that is a read-only memory.
M201, RA as a memory that can be read and written at any time
It has M202. In the ROM 201, data for controlling the game board, display patterns of various display lamps,
Fixed data such as a sound generation pattern from the speaker 224 is stored. The CPU 200A includes the CPU 2
A power supply circuit 203 for supplying electricity to 00A and a frequency divider circuit 204 for dividing a clock pulse of an oscillation circuit and sending a reset signal to the CPU 200A are connected.

On the input side of the CPU 200A, a SW1 of the starting opening 3, a SW1 of the starting opening 4, a SW2 of the tulip 5, a continuous SW3, a count SW4, and a M through a buffer gate 210 and a low-pass filter 211.
The SW and the two-system SW (not shown) used in the two-system processing of the prize ball are respectively connected.

On the other hand, on the output side of the CPU 200A, the output port 220, the driver 221, the pattern changing device (LEDB) 33, the SOL for the opening / closing blade 21.
A, a SOLB for the stopper 90, a SOLC for the mouth of the doll 80, the motor 82, the count indicator 34, a continuation indicator 35, a lamp, and a solenoid for two systems are respectively connected. Then, the continuation signal and the big hit signal are output to the outside, for example, to the management device of the game store. The continuation signal is a signal indicating that the V operation is started, and the jackpot signal is a signal indicating that a special game is in progress. In addition, CP
U200A has a sound generator 222 and an amplifier 2
A speaker 224 is connected via 23.

Here, the on and off timings of the continuation signal and the jackpot signal will be described with reference to the time chart shown in FIG. First, during the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing blade 21 in the first opening / closing pattern, the variable winning device 2
When the game ball that has flown into 0 enters the V winning opening 22 and is detected by the SW 3, a jackpot signal is output to the management device of the game store. The jackpot signal is the continuation SW3,
It is generated and output by the jackpot signal generating / outputting means constituted by the computer 200.
At this point, the first continuation signal is output to the management device of the game store. The continuation signal is the continuation SW
3 and the continuation signal generation / output means configured by the computer 200.

As described above, in the case of a big hit, it shifts to the weight game state, but at the stage of shifting to this weight game state, the output of the continuation signal is controlled to be turned off. When the first special action is started and the opening / closing blade 21 opens and closes in the second opening / closing pattern and the game ball that has flown into the variable winning device 20 wins the V winning opening 22, the continuation is continued. The second generation continuation signal is output by the signal generation output means, and the output of the continuation signal is controlled to be off at the stage of shifting to the weight game state. As shown in FIG. 13, the continuation signal is generated by the continuation signal generation / output means each time a special operation is started, and is output a maximum of 15 times. Further, when the special game ends without the game ball winning the V winning opening 22 during the special action, or when the special action of 15 times ends, the output of the jackpot signal is controlled to be off. Has become. Then, by introducing the continuation signal output while the jackpot signal is being output, by the management device of each game store, it is possible to accurately grasp how many special actions the game store performed during the special game. Therefore, it is possible to grasp the character of the variable winning device or the like of each gaming machine, which can be useful for management such as nail adjustment.

FIG. 14 shows a control processing procedure of main processing performed by the computer system of FIG.
When this main process is started, first, the stack pointer is set in step S2, and the process proceeds to step S4 to determine whether or not the power is turned on. When the power is turned on, the process proceeds to step S6, and in steps S6 to S16, all the RAMs are sequentially cleared, the switch area is initialized, the DIG counter is set, the initial processing is performed, and the RAM is destroyed. Check data 1 and check data 2 are set to check whether or not they exist, and the HALT state is set. Each time a reset signal from the frequency divider circuit 204 is input to the CPU 200, the process returns to step S2 and the main process is repeated.

That is, when a reset is applied, the above step S
2, the stack pointer is set, and the step S4 is executed.
Proceed to step S18, it is determined "Yes" here, and step S18
Then, it is determined whether or not the RAM is destroyed based on the check data 1 set in step S14, and if normal, the process proceeds to step S20.
RAM based on the check data 2 set in 16
Is destroyed, and if normal, the process proceeds to step S22. However, when it is determined in step S18 or step S20 that the RAM is "abnormal", the processes of steps S6 to S16 are performed.

When the process moves to step S22,
In steps S22 to S38, the check data is cleared, the data of various switches on the game board are read in order to eliminate chattering and logical conversion, and the sound output process is performed. Two-system prize ball discharge processing, output processing of data set in each subroutine (described later) for lamps / LEDs, SW4 input check processing, SW3 input check processing, L
ED (symbol fluctuation device, continuous number display) output control processing, the motor 82 control processing,
Control goes to step S40. In steps S40 to S44, SOLA, SOLB, and SOLC control processes and lamp control processes are sequentially performed, and the process proceeds to step S44. In step S44, the process No. described below is performed. 1-Processing No. Branch processing is performed according to 7.

That is, in step S46, it is determined whether or not the process No. is "0", and if "Yes" is determined, the "USL" process is performed. The "USL" process is normally performed, and L is used to display the game state normally.
It is output to the ED and the lamp, the process No. is set to "1" by the detection of SW1 or SW2, and the "SW
1, 2 ”processing.

In step S48, it is determined whether or not the process No. is "1", and if "Yes" is determined, the "SW1,2" process is performed. In the "SW1,2" processing, when SW1 detects a game ball, SOLA is turned off for, for example, 1 second, and 350 ms is turned on.
On the other hand, when SW2 detects a game ball, the SOLA is turned off for 1 second, turned on for 700 ms, turned off for 800 ms, and turned on for 700 ms. During such a process, when the game ball wins the V winning opening 22 and is detected by SW3, "2" is set to the process No. and the process shifts to the "WAIT" process described below. "1" is set, and after the SW1 and 2 processing, the V effective processing is performed. Here, the V effective processing after the SW1 and 2 processing is 3 after the operation of the SW1 or SW2 is completed.
When the SW3 is turned on for a second, a process for validating the SW3 is performed. When the SW3 detects a winning ball, the process No is set to "2" and the process shifts to the "WAIT" process. Set "0" to No,
It is designed to return to the usual processing. Further, upon detection of SW1 or SW2, the process returns to the "SW1, 2" process.

In step S50, it is determined whether or not the process No. is "2", and if "Yes" is determined, the "WAIT" process is performed. The "WAIT" process prepares for special operation such as sounding a fanfare during a wait game state from when the game ball wins the V winning opening 22 to when the special operation is started. The details are a subroutine. Shown in. In this "WAIT" process, the process No. is set to "3" and the process shifts to the "V" operation process described below.

In step S52, it is determined whether or not the process No. is "3", and if "Yes" is determined, the "V" operation process is performed. The "V" operation processing will also show a subroutine later, but the SOLA is turned on for 800 ms.
The special operation process is performed by repeating the process of turning on and off 17 times. After the SOLA is turned on for the 18th time or SW4 is turned on 10 times, the process No. is set to "4" and "AFTV The process (V operation valid process) will be performed. However, if the number of continuations is 2 to 15 times, SW3
Is detected, the process returns to the "WAIT" process.

In step S54, it is determined whether or not the process No. is "4", and if "Yes" is determined, the "AFTV" process is performed. The "AFTV" process also shows a subroutine later, but for 3 seconds after the end of the V operation process, S
The detection of W3 or SW4 is performed (V operation valid process), and the process No is set to "2" upon detection of SW3, and the process shifts to the "WAIT" process. Also 2.9
If the count of SW4 is "0" at the time when a second has elapsed, the process No. is set to "5", but if it is not "0", the process No. is set to "0" after three seconds and the normal process is performed. It is supposed to move.

In step S56, it is determined whether or not the process No. is "5", and if "Yes" is determined, the "SW4NBD" process is performed. The "SW4NBD"
While the SW3 is valid, the process is considered to be fraudulent when SW4 has not detected a game ball before the detection of SW3, and the fraudulent process is performed.
6 blinks every 16 ms and sounds an audible noise, while turning off all outputs of the lamps other than the lamps L1 to L6. Then, upon detection of SW4, the state at the time of occurrence of fraud is restored.

In step S58, it is determined whether or not the process No. is "6", and if "Yes" is determined, the "OPEN" process is performed. The "OPEN" process is S
When W4 is continuously turned on for 2.9 seconds or more or is short-circuited, it is considered that an illegal operation has been performed, and illegal processing is performed. The lamps L1 to L6 blink every 16 ms and an illegal sound is emitted. On the other hand, all the outputs of the lamps other than the lamps L1 to L6 are turned off. When the SW4 becomes normal, the state at the time of occurrence of fraud is restored.

If "No" is determined at each step of the steps S46 to S58, the process proceeds to the "NoCNT" process (process No. 7). If the SW4 has not detected a game ball by 2.9 seconds after the end of the V operation after the start of the V operation processing, the "NoCNT" processing is performed.
Alternatively, SW4 is detected when SW1 and SW2 are detected after V operation is completed.
If the gaming ball has never been detected, it is regarded as illegal and the illegal processing is performed. The lamps L1 to L
6 blinks every 16 ms and sounds an audible noise, while turning off all outputs of the lamps other than the lamps L1 to L6. Then, upon detection of SW4, the process No is set to "0" and the normal process is resumed.

Next, based on FIG. 15, the above step S3
4 shows a subroutine of SW3 input check processing of No. 4. In this process, first in step S100, it is determined whether or not the SW3 is valid, that is, whether or not the detection of the SW3 is valid, and if it is valid, the process proceeds to step S102 to determine whether the SW3 is turned on. If it is turned on, the process proceeds to step S104. However, in step S1
When it is determined that the SW3 is not valid in 00, and when it is determined that the SW3 is not turned on in the step S102, the process goes to the LED control process of the step S36. In step S104, S
Whether or not W4 is turned on is determined, and if “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S108 as it is, but if “No”, the process proceeds to step S106 to set a request for SW4 input check, and the process proceeds to step S108. . In step S108, it is determined whether or not the number of continuation of the special operation is the final number, and if "No", a "SETWAIT" process (described later).
If it is “Yes”, the process proceeds to L in step S36.
Move to ED control processing.

Next, referring to FIG. 16, the above "SETWAI
The "T" processing will be described. The "SETWAIT" process is an initial process for the "WAIT" process. When the "SETWAIT" process is started, whether or not there is a hit flag in step S110, that is, the symbol variation device 33. It is determined whether or not the mode pattern of "B" is hit. When it is determined that the hit flag is set, the process proceeds to step S112, and the step S11 is performed.
2 to step S120, the mode A is sequentially set, "B" is displayed on the pattern variation device 33, the sound data of the mode A is set, the lamp of the mode A and the processing block of the LED are set, and the SOLA of the mode A is set. , SOLB and SOLC
Control block of the motor A of mode A is set and the control block of step S1 is set.
Move to 32.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the hit flag is not set, the process proceeds to step S122, and the step S1
22 to step S130, the mode B is sequentially set, "N" is displayed on the pattern changing device 33, the sound data of the mode B is set, the lamp of the mode B and the processing block of the LED are set, and the SOLA of the mode B is set. And the SOLC control block are set, the control block of the motor 82 in mode B is set, and the process proceeds to step S132.

In this way, in the step S110 to step S112, step S122, the symbol changing device 33.
A game pattern determination means for determining a game pattern according to the stop symbol is configured. That is, when the mode pattern at the time of V winning is "B", the game pattern is set to "mode A", and when the mode pattern is "N", the game pattern is set to "mode B" and different game patterns are set. Can be controlled to be. In this embodiment, in "mode A", the SOLB is controlled so that the number of balls to be paid is increased, and the stopper 90 is operated for each special operation to store a large number of winning balls. Further, in "mode B", the SOLB is controlled and the stopper 90 is operated only in the final round of the special operation so that the number of balls thrown out is reduced. Therefore, in the step S128, the SOLB control block is not set. In addition, mode B
However, in the final round of the special operation, in order to operate the stopper 90, the processing for controlling SOLB is performed again by the "SETV" processing described later.

Steps S132 to S142
Then, the V winning sound is sequentially started, the counter and the flag are cleared in preparation for the special action, the process No. is set to "2", and the doll 80 is placed in the weight before the special action is started.
The SOLC on / off timer is set to operate the "mouth" 80b, and the continuation number signal and the jackpot signal are output to the management device of the amusement store to output "FINIS".
It is designed to jump to "H" (Fig. 22). Then, as shown in FIG. 23, steps S418 to S42.
At 0, check data 1 and check data 2 are set, and the state becomes "HALT". Therefore, the processing of the steps S140 and S142 causes the S
The continuation signal and the jackpot signal are each output to the management device at the timing of turning on W3.

Next, the subroutine of the "WAIT" process will be described with reference to FIG. Step S1
In step 36, the process No. is set to "2", and the step S
When it is determined that the process No. is “2” in 50, the “WAIT” process is started. First, step S200
Then, it is determined whether or not the SOLC timer set in step S138 has timed out. When it is determined that the time has expired, the process proceeds to step S202, and in steps S202 to S206, the SOLC update flag (here, Timer flag) is cleared,
The special operation is initialized, the output of the continuation signal is turned off, and the process jumps to "FINISH". By such processing, the output of the continuation signal is turned off at the stage of the weight gaming state, and the doll 8 in the weight gaming state
The "pakupaku" operation of 0 is stopped and the player is informed of the start of the special operation. However, when it is determined that the time is not up, steps S202 to S20
Jump to "FINISH" as it is without performing each processing of 6.

In step S204, the "SETV" process is called to fly, and the V motion initialization process is performed here. FIG. 18 shows a subroutine of the "SETV" process. In this "SETV" process, first, the lamp and LED processing blocks are set for the V operation in step S208, and the process proceeds to step S210.
6, the display of the symbol changing device 33 is sequentially displayed in "B" for mode A and "N" for mode B according to the hit information, and the counter and flag are initialized for V operation,
Update the process No. (set "3" as the process No.),
Sound of V last round which is the last round of special action and SOLA, SOL
The addresses of B and SOLC and the motor 82 are set, and the process proceeds to step S218. In step S218, V
Whether or not it is the final round is determined, and when it is determined that it is the final round, the process directly proceeds to step S226. However, if it is not the final round, the process proceeds to step S220, and the "SE
Sound, S for mode A set by "TWAIT" processing
The respective addresses of the OLA, SOLB and SOLC, and the motor 82 are reset, and the process proceeds to step S222 to determine whether or not the mode A is set. When it is determined that the mode A is not set, the process proceeds to step S224, and the sound for the mode B is set.
The addresses of SOLA, SOLB and SOLC, and the motor 82 are reset, and the process proceeds to step S226.
When it is determined that the mode is A, the above step S2 is performed.
The processing of 24 is not performed, and the process directly proceeds to step S226. Steps S226 to S23
At 0, the sound starts one after another, and each SOL A, B, C
The control block of the motor 82 is reset, and the control block of the motor 82 is reset.
The "V" process is terminated.

According to the above processing procedure, when the game pattern is "mode A", the stopper 90 is operated during the special operation to increase the number of balls, and when the game pattern is "mode B". With the exception of the V last round, the number of balls thrown out can be reduced without operating the stopper 90. In addition, not only the control for the SOLB but also the control content for the SOLC and the motor 82 is provided with a difference, so that the doll 80 can be operated in the "mode A" and the "mode B".
The behavior of can be different, and the interest in pachinko games can be enhanced. By the way, "SETV"
The variable winning device control means for controlling the operation of the variable winning device according to the game pattern determined by the game pattern determining means by each process shown in the process is configured.

FIG. 19 shows the "V" operation processing subroutine. This "V" operation process is performed in step S2.
In step 14, the process number is set to "3", and the step S5 is performed.
This is a process that is started when it is determined that the process No. is “3” in step 2. First, in step S300, SOLA is set to 800.
Every ms, it is determined whether or not the timer to be turned on / off has expired. If “Yes”, step S3
02, and the steps S302 to S304
Then, the flag of the SOLA timer is cleared in sequence, and S
The decrement process of "1" from the counter of the OLA, that is, the number of times of opening / closing of the opening / closing blade 21 is subtracted from a predetermined number (for example, 18 times), and the process proceeds to step S306. The step S
In 306, it is determined whether or not the SOLA counter is "0". If "No", the process proceeds to step S308 and 1
It is determined whether the opening and closing of 5 times is completed. Here, "Ye
If “s”, the process proceeds to step S310 to set the operation pattern after 15 times opening and closing, and the process proceeds to step S312 to switch SW4.
The count check process is called, and if “No”, the process directly proceeds to step S312. However, if it is determined in step S300 that the timer has not timed out, then in step S3
This subroutine is ended as it is without performing the processing from 02 to step S312 and jumps to "FINISH". When it is determined in step S306 that the counter is "0", the process proceeds to step S314, the initial process of the valid operation (SETVAF process, which will be described in detail later) is called and the "FINIS" is executed.
Jump to "H".

First, based on FIG. 20, the above step S31
The subroutine of the SW4 count check process of No. 2 will be described. This SW4 count check process is S
The motor 82 is controlled to be different between the mode A and the mode B according to the count state of W4. First, in step S316, it is determined whether or not the SW4 is turned on, and "N" is set.
If it is "o", it returns as it is, and if it is "Yes", it proceeds to step S318 to start a counting sound, and then proceeds to step S320.
It is determined whether 10 game balls have been detected by W4. If it is determined that the game balls have been detected, the process directly returns. If it is determined that 10 are not counted, the process proceeds to step S322, and the winning number is set to "1". Increment the value and proceed to step S324. Step S324
Then, it is determined whether or not the special operation is being performed. If “No”, the process directly returns, and if “Yes”, the step S326.
Then, it is determined whether or not the winning number is "10". "1
If it is "0", the process proceeds to the "SETVAF" process (initial process of the valid action), but if it is not "10", the process proceeds to step S328, it is determined whether the special action is the final action, and if it is the final action. Since it is meaningless to control the motor 82 any more, the process returns as it is, but if it is not the final time, the process proceeds to step S330 to determine whether or not the mode is B.

When it is determined that the mode is B in step S330, the process proceeds to step S332, it is determined whether or not the winning number is "2", and if it is not "2", the process directly returns and "2" is returned. If there is, proceed to step S334, set the control address of the motor 82,
The process moves to step S336. By such processing,
In the mode B, until the SW4 detects the game ball "2", the control of the motor 82 can be different after detecting "2". For example, control the character to move continuously until "2" is detected for the game ball,
After detecting "2", the character can be controlled to intermittently move so as to temporarily stop at the central position. In step S336, it is determined whether or not the ball is being bent. If the ball is not being bent, the process proceeds to step S338, the control block of the motor 82 is set, and the process returns, but if the ball is being bent, the process directly returns.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S330 that the mode is not the mode B, that is, when the mode is the mode A, the process proceeds to step S340, and it is determined whether or not the winning number is "6". If it is less than “6”, step S342
To determine whether the number of winnings is "8",
Since it is judged to be less than "6" in step S340, it is judged to be less than "8" in step S342, and the process returns. And the variable winning device 20
When the number of winning balls to is counted to "6", the step S3
It is determined that the value is "6" at 40, and the process proceeds to step S344. In step S344, it is determined whether or not the half flag "1" which is a branch flag is set. Here, it is determined "No" and the process proceeds to step S346. In step S346, the half flag "1" is set. It is set up, the process proceeds to step S348, the motor control address is set, the process proceeds to step S336, and the processes of steps S336 to S338 are performed.

Next, when the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 20 is counted to "7", when the subroutine is entered again, "No" in the step S340.
Is determined, the process proceeds to step S342
Also in 342, it is judged as "No" and the process is returned.

When the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 20 is counted to "8", at the stage when the subroutine is entered again, "N" is given in step S340.
If it is determined to be "o", the process proceeds to step S342, and if it is determined to be "Yes" in step S342, the process proceeds to step S35.
Move to 0. In the step S350, it is determined whether or not the half flag "2" which is a branching flag is set. However, it is determined "No" here, the process proceeds to step S352, and the half flag "2" is set in the step S352. It is set up and it progresses to step S354, SOLC is turned off, and it progresses to step S356. In step S356, it is determined whether or not the motor is operating. If the motor is operating, the process proceeds to step S358, the motor stop address is set, and the process proceeds to step S336.
The processing of 36 to step S338 is performed. However, if the motor 82 is stopped, the process proceeds to step S360 to clear the code of the motor control block and the timer and return.

As described above, in the mode A, the operation of the motor 82 is controlled to be different depending on whether the SW4 count number is "0 to 5", "6 to 7", or "8 to 10". You can For example, in the case of "0-5", the number of rotations of the motor 82 is increased in order to speed up the movement of the character, and in the case of "6-7", the movement of the character is controlled so as to slow down. In the case of "," control is performed to stop the movement of the character.

Next, referring to FIG. 21, step S31 is performed.
The subroutine of the "SETVAF" processing of No. 4 will be described. The "SETVAF" process is an initial process for shifting to the V-motion valid process of process No. "4". When the "SETVAF" process is called, the winning ball is not detected in SW3 and the SW4 is selected. When the winning ball is detected as "10" in step (see step S326) or when the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing blade 21 is completed 18 times (step S3).
06)). In the "SETVAF" process, the sound stop process is sequentially performed in steps S362 to S368, the process No update process, that is, the process No is set to "4", and the SOLC on / off timer is cleared. S
The address of the last SOL data of the continuation of OLA, SOLB, and SOLC is set, and the process proceeds to step S370.
However, both mode A and mode B have SOLB in the final round.
It will be possible to control so that the stopper 90 is raised by operating. In step S370, it is determined whether or not it is the final V, and if "No" is determined, step S37.
In step 2, the address of the operation data of SOLA and SOLC in mode B is set, and in step S374, it is determined whether or not mode B is set. When it is determined that the mode is not the mode B, the process proceeds to step S376, the addresses of the operation data of the SOLA, SOLB, and SOLC of the mode A are set, and then the process proceeds to step S378.

When it is determined in step S370 that it is the final V, the processing in steps S372 to S376 is not performed and step S378 is performed as it is.
If it is determined in step S374 that the mode is the mode B, the process of step S376 is not performed and the process directly proceeds to step S378. The step S
At 378, the control block of each SOL is set in accordance with the address of the operation data of each SOL, and the processing of this subroutine ends.

Next, referring to FIG. 22, the "AFTV"
The processing subroutine will be described. This process is started when it is determined in step S54 that the process No. is set to "4". First, in step S400, the SOLA is set.
It is determined whether or not the timer has expired. If the time is up, the process proceeds to step S402 and SOL
The update flag for the timer of A is turned off, and step S40
In step S404, which moves to step 4, it is determined whether or not the valid time of the SW3 has ended. If it has ended, the process proceeds to step S406, the output of the big hit signal is turned off, and the process proceeds to step S408. However, by such processing,
The jackpot signal can be turned off at the timing when the special game ends. In step S408, initialization processing for shifting to normal processing is performed, and "F
Jump to "INISH", but if the valid time has not expired, the process proceeds to step S410. In step S410, it is determined whether or not there is no count, and if "Yes" is determined, the process proceeds to step S412, it is determined whether or not the SW4 counter is "0", and if "Yes" is determined. The process advances to step S414 to set a false count and jump to "FINISH".

When it is determined in step S400 that the SOLA timer has not timed out, when it is determined in step S410 that no count failure has been performed, or in step S412 SW
When it is determined that the number of winning detections for 4 is not "0", the process proceeds to step S416, SW4 count check processing (see FIG. 19) is performed, and "FINISH"
Jump to.

Next, the "SCROLL" process (LEDB scroll process) will be described with reference to FIG. This process is a process started by being called from the "LED control" process. In this process, in steps S500 to S504, the data storage buffer is sequentially shifted by one dot, and scroll data is set in the extraction buffer. , The table address is updated, and the process proceeds to step S506.

In step S506, it is determined whether or not the normal processing or the processing of SW1 and SW2 is being performed. If "Yes", the scroll pointer is sequentially updated in steps S508 to S510, and the hit flag is set in advance. , And proceeds to step S512. In step S512, it is determined whether or not the mode pattern of one pattern of "B" or "N" has finished scrolling, and if completed, the process proceeds to step S514, and the steps S514 to S5.
The blinking flag of "B" is set in sequence at 16 and LEDB
The timer, scroll flag, and other processing blocks are reset, and the process returns. On the other hand, if the scroll of one pattern is not completed, the process proceeds to step S518, it is determined whether or not the mode pattern being scrolled is a winning symbol, and if it is not a winning symbol, the process proceeds to step S520 to clear the hit flag, The process moves to step S522.

However, when it is determined in step S506 that the processing is not normally performed or the processing of SW1 and SW2 is not performed, the processing of step S508 to step S520 is not performed and the process directly proceeds to step S522.
When it is determined in 518 that it is a winning symbol, the process of step S520 is not performed and the process proceeds to step S522. However, during the special operation, the scroll display of the mode pattern is not performed. In step S522, the pointer for scrolling by one character is updated, the process proceeds to step S524, and it is determined whether the scroll pointer has ended. If it has ended, the process proceeds to step S526, the scroll pointer is reset and the process returns. If you haven't done so, it will return. In this "SCROLL" process, it is determined whether or not the mode symbol is hit, and in the case of a hit, the set of the hit flag is maintained and it is determined that there is a hit flag in step S110 of the "SETWAIT" process (FIG. 15). It will be.

Next, referring to FIG. 25, the above step S38
The subroutine of the motor control process shown by will be described. This processing controls the motor 82 according to the operation data of the motor 82 set in each of the above-mentioned subroutines. When this processing is started, the processing timer of the motor 82 is checked in step S600 and the process proceeds to step S602. It is determined whether or not it is the timing to update the operation data of the motor 82, and if “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S604, and it is determined whether or not a bead is generated. If beading has occurred, the process proceeds to step S606, the beading flag is set, the process proceeds to step S608, the beading process is initialized, and the process returns. On the other hand, if no ball skew has occurred, then the procedure advances to step S610, and it is determined whether or not ball skew processing is in progress.
If it is “No”, the process proceeds to step S612, and it is determined whether the SOLC is on. If it is on, the process proceeds to step S614, and it is determined whether SW3 is valid. If it is not on, the process directly proceeds to step S618. SW3 in step S614
Is determined to be valid, the process directly proceeds to step S618, but if it is determined not to be valid, SOLC is turned off in step S616 and the process proceeds to step S618 to obtain control data from the table of the motor 82. To return.

When it is determined that it is not the update timing in step S602, the process proceeds to step S620, and it is determined whether or not the rotation of the motor 82 is monitored by the MSW. For example, the game state before special operation is monitored. If it is determined that it has not been performed, the process returns, but if it is monitored, the process proceeds to step S622, and it is determined whether or not the light transmission / blocking of the MSW is monitored. If “Yes” here, the routine proceeds to step S624, where it is determined whether or not the MSW detects light passage. If so, the routine proceeds to step S628, where the beaded flag is cleared and the above step S612 is performed.
However, if light transmission is not detected, step S6 is performed.
26, it is determined whether or not the light-shielding detection signal falls, and if “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S628.
If “No”, the process returns.

On the other hand, if "No" in the step S622, the process shifts to a step S630 to determine whether or not the MSW light-shielding is monitored. If "No", the process returns and "Yes".
If s ″, the process proceeds to step S626.

Next, based on FIG. 26, S in step S40
The OL control processing subroutine will be described. This process controls the SOL according to the operation data of the SOL set in each of the above-mentioned subroutines. When the SOL is started, the SOLA process timer is checked in step S700, the process proceeds to step S702, and the timer value is set. It is determined whether it is "0", and if "Yes", step S
In step 704, the processing block is updated, and the process proceeds to step S706. If “No”, the process proceeds directly to step S706. In step S706, SO
The LC processing timer is checked, the process proceeds to step S708, and it is determined whether the timer value is "0". If "0", the process proceeds to step S710, the SOLC is turned on and off, and the process proceeds to step S712. V "is in operation. If "No" is determined here, the flow shifts to step S714, the wait processing timer is set, and the process returns. When it is determined in step S708 that the timer value is not "0", the process directly returns, and when it is determined in step S714 that the "V" operation is being performed, the subroutine is ended. .

In this embodiment, the "symbol changing device" is used as a means for selecting a game pattern, but any technical means capable of selecting a game pattern may be used, for example, a game pattern at the time of V winning. You may make it pick up the random number to select. Further, the number of times the V operation is continued may be detected, and the game pattern may be changed when the V operation is continued for a predetermined number of times or more. Further, although the first and second storage devices are provided in the variable winning device according to this embodiment, the number of storage devices may be two or more, and a device other than a device having a function of storing game balls, for example, a change device. You may make it operate | move according to a game pattern by providing the game device which regulates the flow path of the game ball in a winning device.

In this embodiment, the so-called type 2 pachinko gaming machine has been described, but the type 1 pachinko gaming machine and the third type
