Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a pinball game machine capable of giving a tension by playing a game, by not always bringing about a right-arising playing state even if an opening/closing plate is opened. CONSTITUTION:A winning space 42 is provided with an outlet 45 for discharging one by one winning balls which have flowed down, and an introduced ball receiving member 46 facing the outlet 45 and driven constantly. The introduced ball receiving member 46 receives, while it is constantly driven, only one, of the winning balls discharged from the outlet 45 in agreement with the outlet 45, while guiding winning balls not in agreement with the outlet 45 to an ordinary zone 59. Consequently, since winning balls guided to a meander 44 of the winning space 42 by opening of an opening/closing plate 33 are not always received by the constantly driven introduced ball receiving member 46, a right- arising playing state is not always brought about, so that a tension by playing the game can be maintained.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a special prize ball device having a prize space in which prize balls flow down, a specific region and a normal region in which the prize balls flowing down the prize space are guided, and the prize space of the special prize ball device. A first variable winning ball device provided at the entrance, a second variable winning ball device, and a starting winning opening,
When a winning ball received when the first variable winning ball device is opened is guided to the specific area, a specific game state is generated, and a hit ball is won at the starting winning port while the specific game state continues. Each time, the second variable winning ball device is opened for a predetermined period, while the winning ball is guided to the specific area again while the specific game state continues, or a predetermined number of hits are made at the starting winning opening. In a ball game machine that is controlled so that the specific game state disappears when either one of the balls wins, the probability that the first variable winning ball device will open is low (for example, variable display). When the device displays the winning symbol, the probability of appearance of the winning symbol is kept low, and instead, when the first variable winning ball device is opened, by the first variable winning ball device. Acceptance Always one of the winning ball that has been is, those allowed to rise to a specific game state (also referred to as a right occurrence state) led to a particular area has been the mainstream.

[0003]

However, if the first variable winning ball device is opened as described above so that the specific game state is almost certainly brought about, there is no sense of tension for the game, and When the opening of the first variable winning ball device is performed with the hit symbol of the variable display device, the so-called digital ball that repeatedly opens the variable winning ball device when the big hit is suppressed and the appearance probability of the big hit symbol is low Since the game contents are almost the same as those of a gaming machine, there was a drawback that it lacked in freshness. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to give a sense of tension to a game by not necessarily causing a specific game state even when the first variable winning ball device is opened. Another object of the present invention is to provide a ball game machine having fresh game contents. Another object of the present invention is to provide a ball game machine in which a specific game state once generated does not disappear immediately after winning a prize ball in a specific area again.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a prize space in which prize balls flow down, and a specific area and a normal area into which prize balls flowing down the prize space are guided. A special winning ball device, a first variable winning ball device provided at an entrance of the winning space of the special winning ball device, a second variable winning ball device, and a starting winning opening, the first winning ball device, When a prize winning ball that is accepted when the variable winning ball device is opened is caused to generate a specific game state when being guided to the specific area, and each time a hit ball is won at the starting winning port while the specific game state continues. While the second variable winning ball device is opened for a predetermined period, when a winning ball is led to the specific area again during the continuation of the specific game state, or a predetermined number of hit balls are won in the starting winning opening. Either one of the In a ball-shooting game machine specific gaming state is controlled so as to disappear in time, the winning space,
A discharge port for discharging the winning prize balls that have flowed down one by one and a guide ball receiving member that faces the discharge port and is movable are provided, and the guide ball receiving member matches the discharge port in the process of moving. When there is a winning ball discharged from the discharge port in the state, only one is accepted, and when there is a winning ball discharged from the discharge port in a state that does not match the discharging port, the winning ball is guided to the normal area. It is configured to guide the received winning prize ball to the specific area, and moves the cycle from the time of matching the outlet to the time of next matching to be longer than the opening time of the first variable winning ball device. It is characterized by being controlled.

The first variable winning ball device is drive-controlled so that the display result of the variable display device in which the winning symbol is derived with a predetermined probability is opened for a predetermined time when the winning symbol is derived. With this configuration, it is desirable in that the opening interval of the first variable winning ball device can be set in a desired range.

By providing an intermittent winning mechanism at the starting winning port so that the winning interval of the hit balls to the starting winning port is slightly longer than the opening time of the second variable winning ball device, a specific game state It is desirable in that you can efficiently get a lot of prize balls.

When the game area of the game board is divided by the vertical center line, by arranging the starting winning opening and the second variable winning ball device on the same area side, when a specific game state is achieved. This is desirable in that the elasticity can be kept constant and the game can be continued.

By providing the first variable winning ball device and the second variable winning ball device integrally with the special winning ball device and disposing them in the game area of the game board, the game area of the game board It is desirable because it simplifies the work of attaching to.

By providing the variable display device integrally with the special winning ball device and disposing the variable display device in the game area of the game board, it is desirable in that the work of attaching the game board to the game area can be simplified. .

[0010]

In the prize winning space, a discharge port for discharging the winning prize balls that have flowed down one by one and a guide ball receiving member that faces the discharge port and is movable are provided. If there is a prize ball that is discharged from the discharge port in a state that matches the discharge port, only one is accepted, and if there is a prize ball that is discharged from the discharge port that does not match the discharge port, that prize ball Is guided to the normal area and the received winning ball is guided to the specific area. Therefore, first, the guided ball receiving member which is moved to the winning space by opening the first variable winning ball device is moved. Since it is not always accepted by the member, the specific game state does not always occur, and a sense of tension for the game can be maintained.

Further, when the winning ball is discharged from the discharging port in a state where the discharging hole for discharging the winning ball falling in the winning space and the guiding ball receiving member are matched with each other, the guiding ball receiving member gives one winning ball. Since only the first winning ball is accepted, the first winning ball is not accepted even if the winning balls are continuously discharged from the outlet, and the next winning ball is not accepted. The specific game state is generated by being guided to, and then the second continuous winning ball is guided to the normal region without being guided to the specific region, and the specific game state does not disappear. Further, since the period from the time when the cycle of the guide ball receiving member matches the emission port to the time when it is next matched is controlled so as to be longer than the opening time of the first variable winning ball device, the first variable In the case where the first winning ball that is won immediately after opening the winning ball device and the second winning ball that is winning immediately before the end of opening of the first variable winning ball device are discharged from the discharge port with a gap, By chance, the first prize ball is received by the guide ball receiving member and the specific game state occurs, and then the second prize
At the time when the winning ball of is released from the outlet, the guide ball receiving member has not yet reached the position matching the outlet,
The second winning ball is guided to the normal area without being guided to the specific area, and the specific game state does not disappear.

That is, even if the plurality of winning balls are guided to the winning space by opening the first variable winning ball device, the winning is guided to the guiding ball receiving member among the plurality of winning balls under any circumstances. Since there is only one ball at the maximum, the situation of disappearance of the specific game state based on re-winning in the specific area immediately after the occurrence of the specific game state is never brought about.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the configuration of the game board 1 of the ball game machine (pachinko game machine in the figure) according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is an enlarged front view of the game board 1.
In FIG. 7, the inside of the guide rail 2 provided in a substantially circular shape of the game board 1 is configured as a game area 3, and a special winning ball device 30 that constitutes a main part of the present embodiment is formed substantially in the center of the game area 3. Are arranged. The special winning ball device 30 is the first

And a movable wing piece 54 as a ball device. A normal winning port 4 is arranged above the special winning ball device 30, and the hit balls that have passed through the left and right lower ends of obstacle nails that are planted on the left and right sides of the winning port 4 are guided to the special winning ball device 30. In particular, the ball hitting the left side is received in the winning space 42 of the special winning ball device 30 while the opening / closing plate 33 is open. The detailed structure of the special winning ball device 30 will be described later, but the opening / closing plate 3
A prize winning space 42 for dropping the prize balls received during opening of No. 3, a guide ball receiving member 46 and a movable passage member 47 forming a specific region, and a normal region 59 are formed.

Further, in the game area 3 on one side (left side in the drawing) of the special winning ball device 30, a passage opening 5 and a starting passage opening 6 are arranged. The passage opening 5 merely allows the hitting balls falling in the game area 3 to pass downward, but the starting passage opening 6 has a built-in passing ball detector 7 to detect passing hitting balls. ing. And the ball is the starting passage opening 6
When the passing ball detector 7 is activated by passing through, the symbol display devices 38a, 38b are variably displayed, and when the display result is a winning symbol (in the present embodiment, the left and right symbols are the same symbol), the first variable. The opening / closing plate 33 as a winning ball device is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 1.5 seconds). Below the starting passage opening 6, a pair of winning openings 8a and 8b are provided.
Are arranged, and the hit balls that have passed through the starting passage opening 6 are guided to facilitate winning the prize.

On the other hand, in the game area 3 on the other side (right side in the drawing) of the special winning ball device 30, a starting winning device 9 is arranged. This start winning device 9 has a mounting plate mounted on the surface of the game board 1, a circular surrounding frame is projected on the surface of the mounting plate 51, and the motor 11 (FIG. 8) inside the surrounding frame. The rotating body 10 is rotatably supported by the rotating body 10 which is driven to rotate. In the outer peripheral part of the rotating body 10, 1
A recess 12 is formed to receive a single ball, and the rotating body 10
Is rotated to receive a ball hit from a ball entrance formed in the upper part of the surrounding frame. The hit ball received in the recess 12 is guided to the rear surface of the mounting plate from a winning hole (not shown) formed in the mounting plate, passes through a passage formed on the rear surface of the mounting plate, and is formed under the starting member. It is detected by the winning ball detector 13. The starting prize ball detector 13 is
By detecting a hitting ball in the right generation game state, a signal for driving the movable wing piece 54 as the second variable winning ball device to open in a predetermined manner is derived. The rotating body 1

It is provided in. The above-mentioned lamps and LEDs are controlled to be displayed in a predetermined manner during the right-generating game state.

Then, during the above-mentioned right generation game state, the hit ball wins the starting winning device 9 and the starting winning ball detector 13
When is turned on, the movable wing piece 54 as the second variable winning ball device has passed a predetermined time (for example, 9.5 seconds), or a predetermined number (for example, before the predetermined time). Open until 10 winning balls are generated.
When the ball hits the starting winning device 9 while not in the right generation game state, it is treated as a simple winning.
Further, in the case of the illustration, the starting winning device 9 and the movable wing piece 54
Since and are both located on the right side of the game area 3, if the ball launching force is always strong enough to reach the right side of the game area 3 while the right-occurrence gaming state continues, a start winning prize You can aim for alternate winning of the device 9 and the movable wing piece 54,
There is an advantage that it is not necessary to change the elastic force in a complicated way during the game.

Here, the contents of the game in the right generation game state will be briefly described. A hitting ball is guided to the guide ball receiving member 46 and the movable passage member 47 as a specific area formed inside the special winning ball device 30. And, the right generation game state (for control, it is said that the special device operates). Then, when the right generation game state continues, when the ball hits the starting winning device 9 and the starting winning ball detector 13 is turned on, the movable wing piece 54 performs the opening operation described above. Then, such an opening operation is repeated every time the ball is hit in the starting winning device 9 as long as the right generation game state continues. However, the continuation of the right generation game state, when the ball is guided to the special area of the special winning ball device 30 again during the right generation game state, or a predetermined number (for example, 16) of the starting winning device 9 It is designed to end when a hit ball wins.

For the winning in the starting winning device 9, up to "predetermined number-1" winning balls are stored, and the movable wing piece 54 is opened based on the stored value, but the predetermined number is reached. When the right generation state disappears, after the opening operation at the time when the predetermined number is reached (even if the opening and closing operation is 16 times or less), the opening operation thereafter is not performed,
As a result, there is a drawback that the number of prize balls that the player can obtain is reduced. Therefore, in order to efficiently win the prize balls, the winning of the hitting balls to the starting winning device 9 and the movable wing pieces 54 are performed.
However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the hitting of the starting winning device 9 wins the ball at a slightly longer interval than the opening time of the movable wing piece 54. Since it is controlled as described above, it is highly possible that the winning of the starting winning device 9 and the opening operation of the movable wing piece 54 are alternately performed, and as a result, the prize ball can be efficiently obtained. ing.

At the height position where the discharge port 45 is formed and at the front position of the lower end of the see-through plate 43, a guide ball receiving member 46 capable of receiving only one winning ball is movable left and right. It is provided. This guide ball receiving member 46
After the power is turned on, is always moved by a motor 49 provided on the back surface of the mounting substrate 31. A movable passage member 47 that swings around a lower fulcrum 48 is connected below the guide ball receiving member 46, and a specific ball detector 51 is provided at the downstream end of the movable passage member 47. . Therefore, the winning balls received by the guide ball receiving member 46 are detected by the specific ball detector 51 after flowing down through the ball passage inside the movable passage member 47. When the specific ball detector 51 is turned on, a right generation game state occurs or disappears. That is, the guide ball receiving member 46 and the movable passage member 47 form a specific area.

By the way, at the front portion of the discharge port 45, a fall prevention piece 52 that enters a part of the guide ball receiving member 46.
Is projected toward the front. Therefore, when the discharge port 45 and the guide ball receiving member 46 match each other, the discharge port 4
Even if the winning balls are discharged from 5, the winning balls are prevented from rolling toward the movable passage member 47 by the fall prevention piece 52. In the illustrated embodiment, since the fall prevention piece 52 is provided so as to project from the discharge port 45 to the left end, the guide ball receiving member 46 receives the winning ball on the way to the left. Even if the leftward movement is continued as it is, it will move while holding the accepted winning balls until it matches the discharge port 45 again, and at the time of moving from the discharge port 45 to the right side, the fall prevention piece 52 The blocking state due to is released, and flows downward. Further, the operating speed (cycle) of the guide ball receiving member 46 is such that the time when the guide ball receiving member 46 moves to the left or right after matching the discharge opening 45 and again matching the discharge opening 45.
It is set to be slightly longer than the opening time of. These relationships will be described in detail later. In this embodiment, the driving control is performed so that the guide ball receiving member 46 slightly stops when it reaches the left end, but the photo sensor 50 is provided on the back surface of the mounting substrate 31 to detect its position. Has been.

As described above, in the state where the guide ball receiving member 46 and the discharge port 45 are aligned with each other, the winning balls discharged from the discharge port 45 are received by the guide ball receiving member 46 (the guide ball receiving member 46 is (When empty), the guide ball receiving member 4
The winning balls discharged from the discharge port 45 in a state where 6 do not match are discharged to one side of the movable passage member 47, and then collide with the upper surface of the decorative body 53 and the lower rear surface of the winning space 42. It is guided to the normal area 59 formed in the above and is processed as a simple winning ball. In addition, the movable passage member 47
The fulcrum 48 is rotatably supported by the decorative body 53 provided at the lowermost end of the winning space 42. A design of a fire engine is given to the decorative body 53, and a ladder design is given to the movable decorative member 47 so as to match the design.

A movable wing piece 54 as a second variable winning ball device is rotatably provided in front of the decorative body 53. The movable wing piece 54 is connected to the solenoid 55 via a well-known link mechanism, and the solenoid 55 is turned on / off.
It is driven to open and close by F, and when it is opened, it accepts a hit ball that drops the right bulletin of the special winning ball device 30. The prize balls received by the movable wing pieces 54 are detected by the prize ball detector 56,
It is adapted to detect the number of winning balls that should regulate the one-time open state of the movable wing piece 54 in the right generation game state.

In addition to the above-mentioned configuration, the special winning ball device 30 displays the number of times display 57 and the right symbol display device in order to display information during the right occurrence game state and enhance the decorative effect of the special winning ball device 30. 58, accessory lamp 60 (hereinafter,

Reference numeral 7 indicates the number of prizes won in the starting prize winning device 9 during the right generation game state, in other words, the number of times the movable wing piece 54 has been opened, and the right symbol display device 58 shows that the prize balls are specific balls. When the detector 51 is turned on and the right generation game state is generated, the fluctuation is started and then stopped, and depending on the symbol displayed at the time of the stop, the start winning device 9 is continued during the right generation game state. This is to determine the allowable number of winning prizes. That is, in the present embodiment, the movable wing piece 5
The number of continuations of 4 is not constant, and the number of continuations is determined when the right is generated. Of course, the right symbol display 58 is omitted and the number of continuations is fixed (for example, 16
Times).

Special winning ball device 3 configured as described above
In the configuration of 0, the guide ball receiving member 46 and the guide ball receiving member 4
The relationship with the winning balls accepted by No. 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6. First, since the guide ball receiving member 46 always reciprocates in the left-right direction after the power is turned on,
The winning balls that are received when the opening / closing plate 33 as the variable winning ball device is opened and roll in the meandering passage 44 are not always received by the guide ball receiving member 46. That is, even if the opening / closing plate 33 is opened, the right generation game state does not necessarily occur, and a sense of tension for the game can be maintained.

There is a case where one winning ball is received by opening the opening / closing plate 33 and a case where a plurality of winning balls are received. When one winning ball is received, if the winning ball is received by the guide ball receiving member 46. There is no particular problem as long as it is in the right generation game state, but when a plurality of winning balls are received, for example, the first winning ball is received by the guiding ball receiving member 46 When the winning ball is received by the guiding ball receiving member 46, there is a problem that the right generation game state generated by the leading winning ball disappears immediately after. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the fall prevention piece 52 is provided so that such a situation does not occur, and the cycle in which the guide ball receiving member 46 matches the discharge port 45 is longer than the opening time of the opening / closing plate 33. It is set long.

First, the function of the fall prevention piece 52 is shown in FIG.
And FIG. 5 will be described. If there is no drop prevention piece 52, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), the prize balls P1 and P2 received by the opening / closing plate 33 are separated from each other and the meandering passage 4 is formed.
The first prize ball P1 at the time of rolling 4 is the outlet 4
The guide ball receiving member 46 releases the discharge port 45
When it matches with, the leading prize ball P1 is directly received by the guiding ball receiving member 46 and flows downward to generate the right generation game state. After that, the prize ball P
When 2 is discharged from the discharge port 45, the right generation game state is not extinguished immediately if it does not match the guide ball receiving member 46 again. Therefore, the prize ball P2 is set to the movement cycle of the guide ball receiving member 46. It may be set so as to match the discharge port 45 again after being discharged from the discharge port 45. Therefore, when the winning balls P1 and P2 roll apart from each other, only the cycle of the guiding ball receiving member 46 needs to be taken into consideration.

However, as shown in FIG.
When the winning balls P3 and P4 received by the opening / closing plate 33 are continuously rolled in the meandering passage 44 and continuously discharged from the discharge port 45, the discharge port 4 is released at the time of the discharge.
5 and the guide ball receiving member 46 match, two winning balls P
3, P4 are continuously received as they are in the guide ball receiving member 46. Therefore, even if the right winning game state is brought about by the first prize winning ball P3, the right winning game state will disappear immediately afterward by the next prize winning ball P4. As described above, without the fall prevention piece 52, it is impossible to cope with the situation where the winning game immediately disappears when the winning balls are continuously discharged from the discharge port 45.

On the other hand, when the fall prevention piece 52 is formed, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), when the discharge port 45 and the guide ball receiving member 46 are aligned, two winning balls are won. P
Even if 5, P6 are continuously discharged from the discharge port 45, the receiving dimension L2 of the guide ball receiving member 46 is set to the dimension L1 smaller than the diameter of the winning ball by the fall prevention piece 52,
The top winning ball P5 does not drop to the downstream side of the guiding ball receiving member 46, and therefore the next winning ball P6 also stops in a state of contacting the winning ball P5 immediately before the outlet 45.

When the guide ball receiving member 46 moves to the left or right (in the illustrated case, to the left) in such a state, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), the winning ball P5 is the guide ball receiving member. Four
Move while being accepted by 6. Then, the next prize ball does not come into contact with the front, so the discharge port 45
To fall to the normal area 59. Since the fall prevention piece 52 thus acts so as to surely guide only one winning ball falling continuously to the guiding ball receiving member 46, the right disappearance immediately after the occurrence of the right-generating game state. That situation can be reliably prevented.
It should be noted that in the illustrated embodiment, the fall prevention piece 52 has the discharge port 45.
From the left to the left end, the guide ball receiving member 4
The winning ball P5 received in 6 coincides with the discharge port 45 as it is, and completely passes through the discharge port 45, and then is made to flow down to the downstream side of the guide ball receiving member 46 to cause the specific ball detector 51 to pass. Make it work. On the contrary, when the leading prize ball P5 is received in the process of moving to the right, the prize ball P5 falls to the downstream side when the guide ball receiving member 46 comes off the discharge port 45. At this time, the next prize ball P
6 also falls toward the normal area 59. In any case, the fall prevention piece 52 only needs to be provided so as to project only in the length portion corresponding to the discharge port 45.

The fall prevention piece 52 described above can cope with a situation in which the right is extinguished immediately after the right is generated by the winning balls which have successively reached the discharge opening 45, but the release prevention piece 52 is provided in the discharge opening 45 at a certain interval. It is not possible to deal with the above situation due to the winning prize balls that arrive. That is, as shown in FIG. 6C, when the leading prize ball P9 is received in the process of the guide ball receiving member 46 moving to the right, the prize ball P9 is moved to the right side from the discharge port. Is rolled to the downstream side, further moved, and the guide ball receiving member 46 again releases the discharge port 45.
When the subsequent winning ball P10 is discharged from the discharge port 45 when it matches with, the winning ball is also received by the guide ball receiving member 46, so that the right occurrence game state generated in the winning ball P9 is the winning ball P10. Will disappear soon after. In order to prevent an inconvenient situation that occurs when such a prize ball separates and rolls in the meandering passage 44, in the present embodiment, two prize balls that roll apart from the meandering passage 44 to the maximum extent. Is controlled so that the timing of the time interval and the timing of matching with the discharge port 45 of the guide ball receiving member 46 do not match.

Such control will be described with reference to FIG. First, the cycle that coincides with the discharge port 45 of the guide ball receiving member 46 is set longer than the opening time of the opening / closing plate 33. In this embodiment, the opening / closing plate 3 will be described in detail later.
The opening time of 3 is set to about 1.5 seconds, and the guide ball receiving member 4
It is set so that the cycle matching the discharge ports 45 of No. 6 is about 3 seconds even if the cycle moves in either the left or right direction and returns. Therefore, the intervals at which the plurality of winning balls received during the opening of the opening / closing plate 33 are released from the outlets 45 are substantially the same as the opening time of the opening / closing plate 33 even when the opening is maximized. That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), the winning ball P7, which has won the prize immediately after the opening / closing plate 33 is opened, rolls in the meandering passage 44 and moves to the left toward the guide ball receiving member 46, and the discharge port 45 is formed. The winning ball P8, which is won immediately before the opening / closing plate 33 is closed at the time of being released from, is rolling in the middle of the meandering passage 44,
The time required for the winning ball P8 to reach the discharge port 45 is approximately 1.5 seconds at the latest. Since it takes about 3 seconds until the guide ball receiving member 46 that has received the winning ball P7 returns to the discharge port 45 again, before the guide ball receiving member 46 re-matches with the discharge port 45, as shown in FIG. As shown in (B), the winning ball P8 drops from the discharge port 45 toward the normal area 59.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6C, the opening / closing plate 3
The winning ball P9 that has won immediately after the opening of No. 3 rolls in the meandering passage 44 and is discharged from the discharge port 45 to the guiding ball receiving member 46 that is moving to the right. When there is a winning ball P10 that has been awarded, the winning ball P10 rolls in the middle of the meandering passage 44, but the time required for the winning ball P10 to reach the outlet 45 is:
It's about 1.5 seconds at the latest. Then, prize ball P9
It takes about 3 seconds for the guide ball receiving member 46 that has received the guide ball to return to the discharge port 45 again.
As shown in FIG. 6D, the winning ball P10 falls from the outlet 45 toward the normal area 59 before the coin re-matches with the outlet 45. In this way, the discharge port 45 of the guide ball receiving member 46
By setting the cycle that coincides with the opening time of the opening / closing plate 33 to be longer than the opening time of the opening / closing plate 33, it is possible to reliably prevent a situation in which the right disappears immediately after the right is generated by a plurality of prize balls that are won separately.

The structure of the game board 1 of the pachinko game machine including the special winning ball device 30 has been described above, but these game devices are controlled by the game control circuit shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a circuit diagram showing the game control circuit in a block configuration, which is controlled by a basic circuit 70 including an MPU, a ROM, a RAM, and an input / output circuit. Then, the basic circuit 70 receives the detection signals from the specific ball detector 51, the winning ball detector 56, the passing ball detector 7, the starting winning ball detector 13, and the photo sensor 50 via the switch circuit 71. A chip select signal is applied from the address decode circuit 72 to the basic circuit 70 and the switch circuit 71. Further, when the power is turned on, the initial reset circuit 73 gives a reset signal to the basic circuit 70, and the periodic reset circuit 74 gives a periodic reset signal to the basic circuit 70 at predetermined time intervals.

On the other hand, the basic circuit 70 provides control signals to the following devices and circuits. That is, the motor circuit 75
A drive signal is applied to the motors 11 and 49 via the audio signal, and an audio signal is applied to the speaker 21 via the sound circuit 76.
Starting passage memory display LED 39, number of times display 57, right symbol display 58, symbol display 38 via the ED circuit 77
The display drive signal is given to a, 38b, and the decorative LED-A (61). Further, the display drive signal is also given to the side LEDs 17a, 17b (decorative LED-B) via different LED circuits 78, the drive signal is given to the solenoids 34, 55 via the solenoid circuit 79, and the lamp circuit 80 is given. , Windmill lamps 16a, 16b, rail decoration lamp 19, game effect lamp 20, and accessory lamp 4
A display control signal is sent to 0 and 60. Further, via the information output circuit 81, jackpot information, effective start information,
And the probability variation information is output. Electric power having various voltages is supplied from the power supply circuit 82 to the above-described devices and circuits.

An example of a specific operation implemented by the game control circuit described above will be described with reference to the time charts and explanatory diagrams shown in FIGS. 9 to 23. First, when the power is turned on, as shown in FIG.
A motor 49 for driving (displayed as a specific ball passage opening) is driven at a constant speed. In the present embodiment, when the photo sensor 50 detects that the guide ball receiving member 46 has reached the left end, it is controlled to stop for a minute time (0.5 seconds). One cycle is set to 6.5 seconds. Since the position indicated by the center in the time chart of FIG. 9 substantially coincides with the discharge port 45, the guide ball receiving member 46 is guided to the discharge port 45 regardless of whether the guide ball receiving member 46 moves to the left or right. The cycle in which the ball receiving member 46 matches is about 3 seconds, and this cycle is the opening / closing plate 3
It is set longer than the opening time of 3. Further, when the power is turned on, the motor 11 that drives the rotating body 10 of the starting winning device 9 is also driven at a constant speed. This motor 11
The speed is set so that one cycle of the rotating body 10 is 10 seconds, and is set to be approximately the same as or slightly longer than the opening time of the movable wing piece 54 as the second variable winning ball device.

Next, FIGS. 10 to 13, FIG. 15 and FIG.
The variable display operation of the symbol displays 38a and 38b will be described with reference to. FIG. 10 shows the symbol display devices 38a, 38.
It is the list figure which shows the fluctuation order of the design which is displayed in b,
FIG. 11 is a list of random numbers for determining a hit or miss and a symbol to be displayed, and FIG.
FIG. 13 is a simple flow chart for explaining the operation determined by the selected random number, and FIG. 13 is a list showing a contrasting relationship between the symbols displayed on the symbol display devices 38a and 38b and the random numbers. FIG. 15 is a table showing combinations of hits, and FIG. 16 is a time chart showing variable display control of the symbol display devices 38a, 38b when the hitting ball passes through the starting passage opening 6. is there. In FIG.
When the hitting ball passes through the starting passage opening 6 and the passing ball detector 7 is turned on, and the detection signal T1 is derived, at random 1 (displayed as CRND1) from the rising of the detection signal T1
Values are extracted, and after the detection signal T1 is derived, 0.
When 002 seconds have elapsed, the value of Random 1 stored is read to determine whether or not it is a random number
・ 1 from 3 (displayed as CRND20 ・ 21 ・ 3)
Extract two values.

Here, as shown in FIG. 11, random 1
Is a random number for determining whether or not the opening / closing plate 33 (displayed as an ordinary variable winning port) as the first variable winning ball device is opened, and 90 numerical values of “0 to 89” are 0.
It is updated every 002 seconds and changes every second. The random numbers 20 and 21 are random numbers for determining the symbols displayed on the left symbol display device 38a and the right symbol display device 38b, respectively, and five numerical values of "0 to 4" are interrupt processing remainders. It is constantly changing due to time and carry. Furthermore, the random 3 is a symbol display device 38a,
38b, which is a random number for determining the symbol displayed on the right symbol display device 58,
The four numerical values “0 to 3” are updated every random carry of 21 and are changing every moment. Also, random 20
・ The correspondence between the random number of 21 and random 3 and the design is
It is as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14. The random number 3 and FIG. 14 will be described in detail later.

The value extracted from the above random 1 is
As shown in FIG. 12, when it is “80 to 89”, it is determined to be a hit, and when it is determined to be a hit, the symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random 20 is displayed on the left symbol display unit 38.
It is displayed on the a and the right symbol display 38b to indicate that it is a hit. The hit display in this case is the case where the same symbols are arranged as described above, and there are five types as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the value extracted from Random 1 is "0 to 79" other than the above, it is determined to be out, and when it is determined to be out of it, the symbol corresponding to the extracted value of Random 20 is displayed on the left symbol display. The symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random 21 is displayed on the device 38a and is displayed on the right symbol display device 38b. Coincidentally, when it matches with the winning symbol, the symbol corresponding to the value obtained by adding 1 to the random 21 is displayed on the right symbol display device 38b and consequently displayed as the deviating symbol. In this way, in this embodiment, the probability that the symbol display devices 38a, 38b derive the hit result is set to about 1/9 in the normal game state. This probability is
Generally, the hit probability set in a pachinko gaming machine using a pattern display (in many cases, 1/100 to 1
/ 250) is set higher, but this means that the winning balls received by opening the opening / closing plate 33 that is opened at the time of winning does not necessarily cause the right generation game state. It is due. Therefore, the game contents of the so-called digital pachinko gaming machine, such as the one in which the game progresses only by the probability of hitting the symbol display, because the game is always in the right generation game state as long as the opening / closing plate is opened as in the past Is not an approximation of
It is possible to provide a fresh game content.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 12, in the present embodiment, the probability that the display result of the symbol display devices 38a, 38b is a hit is changed to a high probability. The change / disappearance to a high probability will be described in detail later, but from a phenomenon perspective, the probability that the hit display result is derived at a high probability is
It is set to 85/90. It should be noted that the set values for the normal time and the high probability may be arbitrarily set within a range that does not impair the freshness of the game content.

Returning to FIG. 16, as described above, when the detection signal T1 is derived, it is determined whether or not the symbols displayed in the symbols 38a and 38b are hit, and the symbol displayed at the time of stop is also determined. , After those decisions have been made, design 3
The fluctuations of 8a and 38b are started at the same time. Then, in the variable display of the left symbol 38a, the basic time (7.00
During 0 seconds, a predetermined fluctuation speed (as shown in FIG. 10,
(0.2 seconds / cycle) is changed sequentially, and when the basic time elapses, it is stopped at the time when it coincides with the stop symbol. On the other hand, in the variable display of the right symbol 38b, the left symbol 38a
The time until is stopped is the basic time, and during the basic time, the same predetermined fluctuation speed A as above is set and fluctuates, 0.500 seconds after the basic time elapses, and coincides with the stop symbol. It will be stopped when you do. At the time of high probability, the variation time of the left symbol 38a is shortened (5.100).
Seconds).

The changing operation of the symbol displays 38a, 38b is
As described above, the operation after the change is shown in FIG.
4 and FIGS. 17 to 21. Figure 14
FIG. 18 is a list chart showing the relationship between the random 3 and the symbols displayed on the right symbol display device 58, and FIG. 17 is a time chart showing the operation of the opening / closing plate when the variation result is a hit, and FIG. FIG. 19 is a time chart showing the timing of fluctuation of the symbol display when the fluctuation result is out and there is passing memory after the end, and FIG. 19 shows that the winning balls are guided to the guiding ball receiving member 46 which is the specific area. 20 is a time chart showing the operation of the right symbol display device 58 when FIG.

In FIG. 17, symbol display devices 38a, 38
When the fluctuation result of b is a hit, when the predetermined time (0.512 seconds) has elapsed after the fluctuation of the right symbol 38b is stopped,
The solenoid 34 of the open / close plate 33 (normally variable winning port) is turned on.
To be done. The ON state continues for 1.5 seconds, which is set shorter than the matching cycle with the discharge port 45 of the guide ball receiving member 46. After the opening / closing plate 33 is closed, the symbol displays 38a and 38b are immediately displayed even if there is a memory of starting passage.
Does not start to fluctuate, but a predetermined time (3.000
After a lapse of a minute (0.002 seconds) after the elapse of seconds, the fluctuation based on the starting passage memory is started.

In FIG. 18, symbol display devices 38a, 38
When the variation result of b is out, when the predetermined time (0.512 seconds) elapses after the variation of the right symbol 38b is stopped,
Whether or not it is out is checked once, and then, after a lapse of a predetermined time (1.000 seconds) and a minute time (0.002 seconds), a change based on the starting passage memory is started.

In FIG. 19, the winning balls are the guiding ball receiving members 4
When the specific ball detector 51 is turned on by being guided to step 6, the right generation signal R1 is derived. When the right generation signal R1 is derived, the special device is activated. At the same time as the derivation of the right generation signal R1 in the state where the special device is operated, the right symbol display 58 is started to fluctuate, and when 1 second elapses, the time corresponding to the symbol corresponding to the value extracted in the random 3 Stop at. As shown in FIG. 14, the symbols displayed on the right symbol display device 58 include a display of "0" and a display of "3" and "7", which are composed of four segments above and below the 7-segment LED. When "0" is displayed, the permissible winning number of hit balls to the starting winning device 9 is 1 while the right generation game state is continued, and when "3" or "7" is displayed, the right is generated. The permissible winning number of hit balls to the starting winning device 9 is 1 while the game state is continued.
There are six. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if the right generation gaming state occurs, the value given to the player is significantly different, so that the right generation gaming state is not always pleasing, and conversely the right generation occurs. It is possible to play the game with a sense of tension until the content of the game state is finalized. It should be noted that the game value given when the right generation game state is entered may be constant (for example, 16).

In FIG. 20, when the right generation game state continues, when the hitting ball wins the starting winning device 9 and the starting winning ball detector 13 is turned on, the starting signal S1 is derived. When the starting signal S1 is derived, the movable wing piece 54 (displayed as a special variable winning port) as the second variable winning ball device is opened until a fixed time (9.5 seconds) has elapsed. However, when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls occur before the predetermined time has elapsed, the opening of the movable wing piece 54 ends at that time.

Further, as described above, in this embodiment, the probability that the symbol is displayed on the symbol display devices 38a and 38b is changed, but this change is performed as shown in FIG. That is, when the display result of the right symbol display device 58 becomes the right generation game state in which the symbol "3" or "7" corresponding to the allowable winning number 16 is displayed,
Symbol display 38a, 3 after the end of the right generation game state
In the variation of 8b, the probability that the winning symbol is displayed becomes high, and the next right generation game state occurs at short time intervals. This high-probability state is until the right-generating game state is generated three times in total including the first right-generating game state. However, as a matter of course, in the right generation game state, the probability returns to a low level. It should be noted that the number of times the right occurrence game state occurs continuously when changed to a high probability may be set arbitrarily, and in the above example, the display result of the right symbol display device 58 is "3" or "7"
As long as this is the case, the high probability may be maintained until the right occurrence game state occurs twice.

The operation of the lamps and LEDs provided on the game board is controlled as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 according to the game state. Further, the speaker 21 also produces a sound effect according to the game state. 22 and 23 will be omitted.

Special winning ball device 3 in the above embodiment
0 (hereinafter, referred to as the first embodiment) shows that the guide ball receiving member 46 moves in the left-right direction, but it may rotate or move up and down. An example is shown in FIG.
Also, a brief description will be given with reference to FIG. FIG. 24 shows the second
It is a front view of the special winning ball device 90 according to the embodiment. In the figure, the special winning sphere device 90 has an electric accessory 92 which is opened for a certain period of time according to the display results of the symbol display devices 38a and 38b in the upper center of the mounting board 91, and a motor (not shown) is provided substantially in the center of the mounting board 91. A rotating body 93 that is driven to rotate is provided, a dropping passage 95 is formed so as to surround the rotating body 93, and a normal region 96 is formed at the lowermost end of the dropping passage 95. On the other hand, a concave portion 94 is formed on the outer periphery of the rotating body 93 to receive only one winning ball received by the electric accessory 92, and the winning ball received in the concave portion 94 is rotated and the back surface of the mounting substrate 91 is rotated. A specific region 97 that is guided to the side is also formed. The rotating body 9
The rotation cycle of 3 is set longer than the opening time of the electric accessory 92.

Special winning ball device 9 configured as described above
In 0, since only one winning ball is accepted when the drop hole of the electric accessory 92 and the concave portion 94 of the rotating body 93 coincide with each other, only the first winning ball is shown even if the winning balls continuously occur. Received in the recess 94 along the arrow b, and the subsequent winning balls collide with the winning balls received in the recess 94 and are guided to the normal area 96 through the falling passage 95 as shown by the arrow a or the arrow c. The winning ball received in the recess 94 is guided to the specific area 97 when the rotation of the rotating body 93 advances and the recess 94 and the specific area 97 coincide with each other, and the right winning game state is set. On the other hand, when a winning ball occurs immediately after opening the electric accessory 92 and immediately before ending the opening, when the leading winning ball is accidentally received in the recess 94 and guided to the specific area 97, the right generation game state occurs. Even if the subsequent winning ball received just before the end of the opening of the electric accessory 92 falls from the drop opening of the electric accessory 92, the rotating body 93 has not yet made one revolution and the concave portion 94 is positioned below the drop opening. Therefore, the subsequent winning balls flow down the drop passage 95 and are guided to the normal area 96. That is, also in the special winning ball device 90 according to the second embodiment, it is possible to prevent the situation of extinguishing the right immediately after the occurrence of the right generating game state, and by constantly rotating the rotating body 93 after the power is turned on, Electric accessory 9
Since the right occurrence game state does not necessarily occur even if 2 is released, it is possible to maintain the tension for the game to the end.

Next, the special winning ball device 100 according to the third embodiment of FIG. 25 will be described. FIG. 25 is a front view of the special winning ball device 100 according to the third embodiment. In the figure, the special winning ball device 100 has an electric accessory 102 which is opened for a certain period of time according to the display results of the symbol displays 38a and 38b at the center of the upper part of the mounting substrate 101.
2, a rolling passage 103 is formed in a meandering shape, an elevating member 104 that is driven up and down by a motor (not shown) is provided on an extension of a downstream end of the rolling passage 103, and a downstream end of the rolling passage 103 is provided. A normal region 106 is formed laterally. On the other hand, the lifting member 104 includes an electric accessory 102.
A concave portion is formed to receive only one winning ball received in step 1, and a specific area 105 is formed in which the winning ball received in the concave portion is guided to the back surface side of the mounting substrate 101 at the raised position of the elevating member 104. The lifting cycle of the lifting member 104 is set to be longer than the opening time of the electric accessory 102.

Special winning ball device 1 configured as described above
In 00, when the prize balls received by the electric accessory 102 reach the end of the rolling passage 103, the lifting member 1
Since only one winning ball is received when 04 is in the lowered position, even if consecutive winning balls are received, only the first winning ball is received by the elevating member 104 along the arrow d shown in the drawing.
The subsequent winning balls collide with the winning balls received by the elevating member 104 and are guided to the normal area 106 as indicated by an arrow e,
The winning balls received by the lifting member 104 are the lifting members 1
When 04 moves up and down and the elevating member 104 and the specific area 105 match, the right generation game state is guided to the specific area 105. On the other hand, when a winning ball is generated immediately after the opening of the electric accessory 102 and immediately before the end of opening, the leading winning ball is accidentally accepted by the elevating member 104 and guided to the specific area 105 to generate the right generation game state. When the electric accessory 102
Since the elevating member 104 has not yet reached the lowered position when the subsequent winning ball received just before the end of the opening reaches the end of the rolling passage 103, the succeeding winning ball is guided to the normal area 106. That is, also in the special winning ball device 100 according to the third embodiment, it is possible to prevent the situation that the right is extinguished immediately after the occurrence of the right generation game state, and by making the elevating member 104 always be moved up and down after the power is turned on, Since the right generation game state does not necessarily occur even if the electric accessory 102 is opened,
It is possible to maintain a sense of tension over the game.

The structure and operation of the game board 1 of the pachinko gaming machine according to the embodiment have been described above. According to this embodiment, the outlet for discharging the prize balls that have flowed down into the prize space 42 one by one. 45 and a guide ball receiving member 46 that faces the discharge port 45 and is always driven. The guide ball receiving member 46 is a discharge port that matches the discharge port 45 in the process of being constantly driven. When there is a winning ball discharged from 45, only one winning ball is accepted, and when there is a winning ball discharged from the discharging port 45 when it does not match the discharging port 45, the winning ball is guided to the normal area 59 and accepted. Guide ball receiving member 46 and movable passage member 47 with the winning ball as a specific area
First, the guide ball receiving member 46 in which the prize balls guided to the meandering passage 44 of the prize space 42 are always driven by opening the opening / closing plate 33 as the first variable prize ball device. Since it is not always accepted, the right generation game state does not always occur, and a sense of tension for the game can be maintained.

In addition, when the winning ball is discharged from the discharge port 45 in a state where the discharging port 45 for discharging the winning ball rolling in the meandering passage 44 and the guiding ball receiving member 46 are aligned with each other, the guiding ball receiving member 46 is used. Since only one winning ball is accepted, even if the winning ball is continuously discharged from the outlet 45, only the first winning ball is accepted, and the next winning ball cannot be accepted. The second prize-winning ball is guided to the guide ball receiving member 46 to generate a right, a gaming state occurs, and then the second consecutive prize-winning ball is guided to the normal area 59 without being guided to the guide ball receiving member 46, and the right is generated. The game state never disappears. Further, the driving of the guide ball receiving member 46 is controlled so that the period from when the guide ball receiving member 46 matches the discharge port 45 to the next match is longer than the opening time of the opening / closing plate 33 as the first variable winning ball device. Therefore, in the case where the first winning ball that has won immediately after opening the opening / closing plate 33 and the second winning ball that has won immediately before the opening of the opening / closing plate 33 are released from the outlet 45 with a gap, By chance, after the first winning ball is received by the guiding ball receiving member 46 and the right generation game state occurs, at the time when the second winning ball is discharged from the discharge port 45, the guiding ball receiving member 46 is still released. Since it has not reached the position that matches the exit 45, the second winning ball is guided to the normal area 59 without being guided to the guide ball receiving member 46, and the right generation game state does not disappear.

That is, even if the plurality of winning balls are guided to the meandering passage 44 by opening the opening / closing plate 33 as the first variable winning ball device, the guiding balls among the plurality of winning balls are provided under any circumstances. Since there is only one winning ball guided to the receiving member 46 at the maximum, it does not cause a situation in which the right generation game state disappears based on re-winning of the guiding ball receiving member 46 immediately after the right generation game state occurs. Absent.

In the first embodiment described above, the special winning ball device 30 is provided with a symbol display device 38a as a variable display device.
38b and the opening / closing plate 33 as the first variable winning ball device
, And the movable wing piece 54 as the second variable winning ball device are collectively provided on the one mounting substrate 31, but they may be separately arranged in the game area 3 of the game board 1. Or some devices (for example, only the variable display device, only the first variable winning ball device, the variable display device and the first variable winning ball device)
May be collectively provided on the attachment substrate 31 of the special winning ball device 30 and provided in the game area 3 of the game board 1. Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the discharge port 45 is provided substantially at the center position of the winning space 42, but it may be at the left end or the right end.

As has been described above, according to the present invention, in the present invention, the discharge holes for discharging the winning balls one by one into the winning space, and the guiding balls that are movable and face the discharging holes. The receiving member is provided, and the guiding ball receiving member receives only one winning ball that is discharged from the discharge port in a state of matching with the discharge port in the process of moving, and matches with the discharge port. When there is a winning ball discharged from the discharge port in the absence state, the winning ball is configured to be guided to the normal area and the accepted winning ball is guided to the specific area. Since the winning ball guided to the winning space by opening is not always accepted by the moving guiding ball receiving member, the specific game state does not always occur, and the sense of tension for the game can be maintained.

Further, when the winning ball is discharged from the discharging port in a state where the discharging hole for discharging the winning ball falling in the winning space and the guiding ball receiving member are matched, the guiding ball receiving member gives one winning ball. Since only the first winning ball is accepted, the first winning ball is not accepted even if the winning balls are continuously discharged from the outlet, and the next winning ball is not accepted. The specific game state is generated by being guided to, and then the second continuous winning ball is guided to the normal region without being guided to the specific region, and the specific game state does not disappear. Further, since the period from the time when the cycle of the guide ball receiving member matches the emission port to the time when it is next matched is controlled so as to be longer than the opening time of the first variable winning ball device, the first variable In the case where the first winning ball that is won immediately after opening the winning ball device and the second winning ball that is winning immediately before the end of opening of the first variable winning ball device are discharged from the discharge port with a gap, By chance, the first prize ball is received by the guide ball receiving member and the specific game state occurs, and then the second prize
At the time when the winning ball of is released from the outlet, the guide ball receiving member has not yet reached the position matching the outlet,
The second winning ball is guided to the normal area without being guided to the specific area, and the specific game state does not disappear.

In other words, even if a plurality of winning balls are guided to the winning space by opening the first variable winning ball device, the winning is guided to the guiding ball receiving member among the plurality of winning balls under any circumstances. Since there is only one ball at the maximum, the situation of disappearance of the specific game state based on re-winning in the specific area immediately after the occurrence of the specific game state is never brought about.
