FIG. 7 is a control circuit diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. Next, with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the operation when playing with the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described.

The player presses the setting switch 19P to input a desired set numerical value. This setting switch 19P
Since a high level signal is applied to the differentiating circuit 51 by pressing, the differentiating circuit 51 derives a number of differentiating pulses corresponding to the number of times the setting switch 19P is pressed, and supplies it to the ring counter 52P. The ring counter 52P increments the count value by "1" each time a differential pulse is given from the differentiating circuit 51, and the value can be displayed on the segment display 23P (1, 2 to n: where n is 9 if the segment display 23P can display a one-digit numerical value
The following) is cyclically counted, and an output terminal is provided for each numerical value, and a high level signal is derived from the output terminal of the numerical value corresponding to the count value. The count value of the ring counter 52P becomes the set value input by the player pressing the setting switch 19P, and the count value is given to the decoder 56P and the reference input of the judging circuit 57. The decoder 56P derives a decode signal for displaying the count value on the segment display 23P based on the count value of the ring counter 52P, gives it to the segment display 23P, and displays it on the set numerical segment display 23P. In this way, the player sets and inputs a desired numerical value and continuously displays it on the segment display 23P.

Subsequently, the player inserts the pachinko ball purchased by the ball lending machine into the ball striking standby gutter 51 and operates the ball with the ball striking handle 16. At this time, the driven pachinko balls are the safe holes 12a to 12c or the yakmono 13a to 13c.
One of the e will win with a certain probability, or it will fall without winning and enter the out-ball entrance 14. If, for example, one of the Yakumono 13a to 13e wins, the Yakumono's angular portion 131, which has the winning ball, is opened in the same manner as the conventional pachinko gaming machine, and the pachinko ball easily enters. The winning balls are detected by a winning ball sensor (not shown) via the winning ball path 323, and a predetermined number of pachinko balls are paid out to the pachinko ball payout opening 17 from a prize ball payout device (not shown).

On the other hand, when the driven pachinko ball wins any of the safe holes 12a to 12c, it enters the tubular member 311 of the safe ball processing mechanism 31 through the safe ball path 321 and rotates the tubular member. . In response, the safe sphere detection switch 314 derives a safe sphere detection output. Due to the drop of the safe ball, the entrance of the special winning ball device 22 provided on the upper part of the hall-shaped setting / variable identification information display device 20 opens left and right, and the special winning ball device 22 becomes easy to enter thereafter.

As described above, the special winning ball device 22.
If the pachinko ball wins the special winning ball device 22 after opening the entrance of the, or if the pachinko ball wins the special winning ball device 22 even if the special winning ball device 22 is not opened The pachinko balls that were routed 326 and 3
It is guided to a winning ball sensor (not shown) through 23 and detected as a winning ball, and a predetermined number of pachinko balls are controlled to be paid out. Further, when the pachinko ball passes through the path 326, the winning ball detection switch 33 is closed, so that a high level signal is transmitted through the switch 33 to the flip-flop 53.
1 is applied as a set input to the flip-flop 5
31 is set. The flip-flop 531 is in a state of being reset via an OR gate 61 described later before the output of the winning ball detection switch 33 is given.
Further, the flip-flop 532 is an OR gate 6 described later.
The set output is given as one input of the AND gate 542 since it is set by the signal given via 1. Therefore, the flip-flop 531
When the set output of is applied to the other input of the AND gate 542, the AND gate 542 derives a high level signal and activates the AND gate 543. Since the AND gate 543 is constantly supplied with the output pulse of the pulse oscillating circuit 55 which generates the pulse having the frequency correlated with the cycle for variably displaying the numerical information on the second segment display 23S. , AND gate 543 provides the pulse output to the ring counter 52S. The ring counter 52S is the same as the ring counter 52P, and the count value is incremented by "1" each time an oscillation pulse of the pulse oscillating circuit 55 is given. Are counted cyclically at a relatively fast rate. The count value of the output of the ring counter 52S is given to the decoder 56S and the decision circuit 57. The decoder 56S decodes the count value which is cyclically counted by the ring counter 52S and gives it to the segment display 23S as a segment signal. Therefore, the segment display 23S variably displays a numerical value that correlates with the count value that the ring counter 52S cyclically counts, at a speed at which the player can visually recognize it. In this way
A desired numerical value set by the player is displayed on the segment display 23P, and a plurality of numerical values are cyclically variably displayed on the segment display 23S.

As described above, the segment display 23S
In the case where the numerical information is variably displayed, the player presets the numerical information preset in the segment display 23P and the numerical information displayed when the variable display of the segment display 23S is stopped. The stop switch 19S is pressed so as to establish the relationship. Accordingly, a high level signal is applied to the reset input terminal of flip-flop 532 via stop command switch 19S and OR gate 541, and flip-flop 532 is reset. Therefore, the AND gate 542 stops the derivation of the high level signal and disables the AND gate 543, so that the pulse signal from the pulse oscillation circuit 55 is not applied to the ring counter 52S. Therefore, the ring counter 52S stops the counting operation, and continuously supplies the count value counted up to that time to the decoder 56S and the determination circuit 57. At this time, the reset output of the flip-flop 532 is given to the determination circuit 57 as a determination command signal. In response, the determination circuit 57 receives the set numerical information given from the ring counter 52P and the ring counter 52P.
The variable value given by S is compared with the count value when the variable display is stopped, and the predetermined correlation is determined. For example, if the relationship between the set numerical value and the numerical value displayed when the variable display is stopped is both odd numbers, or both even numbers, or both are the same numerical value (that is, doublet) Assuming that information for giving a certain value is derived, the decision circuit 57 determines that there is a logical product of the logical sum of the output indicating the odd number of the ring counter 52P and the logical sum of the output indicating the odd number of the ring counter 52S. An output terminal for deriving a high level signal from an output terminal representing both odd numbers and determining an even number when there is a logical product of the logical sum of the output of the ring counter 52P indicating the even number and the logical sum of the output of the ring counter 52S indicating the even number. A high-level signal is derived from the output of each of the ring counter 52P and the ring counter 52S. When there is a logical product (for example, the logical product of the output representing the numerical value “n” of 52P and the output representing the numerical value “n” of 52S), in other words, the logical product output of the same numerical value It is configured to derive a high level signal from the output end representing the doublet. This determination circuit 57
Each judgment output of is derived as a signal for giving value information. As an example of giving a certain value which is different according to the judgment output to the player based on the judgment output of the judgment circuit 57, the number of openings of the yakmono 13a to 13e is controlled or the length of time for opening a yakmono is controlled. Or
It is conceivable to change the number of prize balls to be paid out and the points to be given, but in this embodiment, the following yakmono 13a to 13a will be described.
The case of controlling the number of openings of e will be described.

For example, in the case of controlling the number of openings of the yakmono 13a to 13e by the judgment output of the judgment circuit 57, when the judgment circuit 57 judges that it is an odd number, two yakmonos 13a and 13b are opened. When it is determined that it is an even number, three yakmono 13c to 13e
, When it is determined that it is a doublet, 5 Yakumono 1
Assuming that the opening control of 3a to 13e is performed, the operation is performed as follows. Specifically, the player sets the setting switch 19P.
When an odd number is set by the operation of, if the numerical value displayed when the stop command switch 19S is pressed to stop the variable display of the segment display 23S is an odd number, the determination circuit 57 outputs the odd number. A high level signal is derived from the terminal and applied to the monostable multi 581. This monostable multi-source 581 outputs a high level signal for a period necessary to open the angular portion 131 of Yakumono, and OR
It is given to the transistor 60a through the gate 59a to make the transistor 60a conductive, and the OR gate 5a
It is given to the transistor 60b via 9b to make the transistor 60b conductive. Accordingly, the solenoid 41a of the yakmono opening mechanism 40a for controlling the opening of the yakmono 13a is energized and the solenoid 41b of the yakmono opening mechanism 40b is energized for controlling the opening of the yakmono 13b. Portion 131
Is controlled to open. Further, when the determination circuit 57 determines that it is an even number, a high level signal is derived from the output terminal representing an even number and is given to the monostable multi 582. In response, the monostable multi-582 applies a high level signal to the corresponding transistors 60c to 60e via the OR gates 59c to 59e for a certain period to make the transistors conductive. Therefore, the solenoids 41c to 41e corresponding to the yakmono 13c to 13e are biased and controlled, and the angular portions of the yakmono 13a to 13e are controlled to be opened.
Further, when the determination circuit 57 derives a determination output representing a doublet, the output is given to the monostable multi 583. In response, the monostable multi 583 derives a high level signal for a certain period and supplies it to each of the corresponding transistors 60a to 60e via each of the OR gates 59a to 59e to make the transistor conductive. As a result, the solenoids 41a to 41e are biased, and the angular portions of the five yakmono 13a to 13e are controlled to open. In this way, the opening control of different numbers of yakmono is performed based on the determination output of the determination circuit 57. The output of any of the monostable multis 581 to 583 resets the flip-flop 531 via the OR gate 61 and sets the flip-flop 532 to wait for the next output of the winning ball detection switch 33. solenoid
41a to 41e and Yakumono 13a to 13e,
A game that adds a gaming value based on the operation result of the gaming device
Technique value giving means is configured.

If the player does not press the stop command switch 19S indefinitely, the segment display 23S continues to be in the variable display state, and thereafter, even if the winning ball detecting switch 33 detects the winning ball again, the normal operation is performed. Stop doing it.
Therefore, a timer 62 that is activated by the output of the winning ball detection switch 33 and derives a high level signal after a certain time has elapsed
By providing the output of the timer 62 to the reset input terminal of the flip-flop 532 via the OR gate 541, the same operation is performed even when the player forgets to press the stop command switch 19S. There is an advantage that the operation can be achieved. The timer 62 does not necessarily have to be provided, and when the timer 62 is provided, the stop command switch 19S does not necessarily have to be provided.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when the variable display of the segment display as the variable display device which is variably displayed according to a certain condition and the numerical information preset by the player is stopped. Based on the numerical value, the opening of the yakmono is controlled and the opening time of the yakmono is varied to add a certain value, so that the interest of the player will be further enhanced. Alternatively, the segment display 23P may be omitted, and the game value may be added only when the segment display 23S has a predetermined display result. Further, it is possible to obtain not only by hitting a pachinko ball like a conventional pachinko gaming machine, but also by performing a stop operation so that a numerical value variably displayed according to a certain condition has a certain relation with a set value. Since the number of prize balls can be varied, it is possible to obtain a large number of prize balls through game technology, and it is expected that the service will be improved. In addition, the display contents when the variable display device is stopped should be determined in advance before the variable display of the variable display device is stopped, and the display result when the variable display device is stopped should be in accordance with the predetermined contents. You may make it display-control so that it may become.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the case where the segment display is used as an example of the set numerical value display means and the variable display device has been described, but the variable display is not limited to the segment display, and various variable displays such as a rotary drum type can be used. Can be used. The winning ball detection switch 33, the timer 62, the stop command switch 19S, the OR gate 54
1, flip-flops 531, 532, AND gate 5
42, 543, pulse oscillation circuit 55, ring counter 5
The 2S and the decoder 56S constitute a game device control means for controlling the game device to an operating state on the basis of a hit ball winning the winning ball device.

FIG. 8 is an illustrative view showing another example of the hall-shaped setting / variable identification information display device 20. In this embodiment, the setting identification information display means and the variable display device 20 are used.
Another example is that dice-shaped indicators 24P and 24S are provided. This dice-shaped display 24P, 24S
Are each configured by embedding seven light emitting diodes (or display lamps 241 to 247) in a square, and display numerical information according to the number of light emission displays.
For example, when the numerical value "1" is displayed, only the light emitting diode 241 is lit, when the numerical value "2" is displayed, the light emitting diodes 242 and 243 are lit, and when the numerical value "3" is displayed, the luminescent light is lit. Diodes 241, 24
5, 246 (or 241, 242, 243) is light-emitted and the numerical value "4" is displayed, the light-emitting diode 2
44, 245, 246, 247 are light-emitting displayed, and when the numerical value "5" is displayed, the light-emitting diodes 241, 24
4, 245, 246, and 247 are light-emitted and the numerical value “6” is displayed, the light-emitting diodes 242 to 24
7 is displayed by emitting light. And
As the ring counters 52S and 52P, "1"-
The one that cyclically counts "6" is used. In this way, if the dice-shaped display is used as the setting identification information display means and the variable identification information display means, the game player can use the stop command switch 19S so that the eyes of the dice match a certain relationship.
Since there is a need to operate the, there is an advantage that the player can be immersed in the interest of dice game while playing the pachinko game.
