FIG. 1 shows the front of a game board 1 of this pachinko machine. In the figure, reference numeral 2 denotes a winning opening, 3 denotes an upper left winning opening, 4 denotes an upper right winning opening, 5 denotes a lower left winning opening, and 6 denotes a lower right winning opening. Each of these winning openings is a so-called ordinary winning opening and a hit ball wins. Each time a certain number of prize balls are paid out to the player. 7, 8, 9 and 10 are windmills, and 11 and 12 are decorative lamps. Reference numeral 15 denotes an out hole.

[0008] Reference numerals 20 and 21 denote pass gates which output electric signals by operating a sensor when a hit ball falling on the surface of the game board 1 passes through the inside, and 22 denotes a normal symbol variation display comprising a 7-segment light-emitting display. , 23 are a pair of wing pieces 24,
24 is a normal electric opening and closing winning device that opens and closes by the operation of a solenoid, 25 is a special symbol change display made of a color liquid crystal display, and 26 is a hitting ball when the rectangular door plate 27 is opened forward by the operation of the solenoid. A special winning opening 28 called a V zone is further provided at the center of the inside of the winning opening 26.
Is provided. 13, 13,... Are mode display lamps for displaying the time extension mode, and 14 is a 7-segment display for displaying the remaining number of times in the time extension mode. 2
9, 29... Memorize that the hit ball has passed through the pass gates 20 and 21 and display a lighted light to indicate that the hit ball has passed, and 30 and 30 memorize that the hit ball has won the ordinary electric opening / closing winning device 23. This is a hit ball prize memory display lamp that displays that fact by lighting.

As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, each device provided on the game board 1 has a CPU, a RAM,
It is connected to a microcomputer composed of an OM and an I / O, and operates by transmitting and receiving electric signals to and from the microcomputer. That is, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, when a hit ball passes through the passing gate 20 or the passing gate 21, the symbol (number) normally displayed on the symbol variation display 22 becomes 4 → 6 → 8 → 3 → 5 → 7. And stops after a few seconds with an unstable symbol from 3 to 8. If the stopped symbol happens to be the predetermined number 7 by accident, the wings 24, 24 of the ordinary electric opening / closing winning device 23 are set according to the state of the time extension mode flag described later.
Is opened by a solenoid for 0.5 seconds or 5 seconds so that a hit can be easily made to the ordinary electric opening / closing winning device 23. In the initial state, the time extension mode flag is off, and the normal electric opening / closing prize device 23 is opened only for 0.5 seconds.

When a hit ball hits the ordinary electric open / close winning device 23, a signal from a sensor for detecting the hit is input to the CPU, and the special symbol variation display 25 displays 0-9 as shown in FIG.
, And symbols of characters such as islands, flowers, seagulls, airplanes, and penguins are displayed in a circular manner so as to flow in three columns from top to bottom. Then, about 7 seconds after the start of the fluctuation display, the pattern fluctuation is displayed in the left column, right column,
Stop in the middle row. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the stop symbol happens to be "77" with a probability of several hundredths.
When the same symbols are aligned in a horizontal line as in "7" and a so-called big hit symbol is set, a special game state is set and the special winning opening 26 is set.
The door plate 27 is opened by the operation of the solenoid to provide a situation where it is extremely easy for a hit ball to enter the special winning opening 26, and at the same time, the decorative lamps 11 and 12 blink and a speaker (not shown).
A sound effect is emitted from the special symbol variation display 25 and a big win celebration display is made. Then, when ten hit balls enter the special winning opening 26 or 29 seconds elapse, the door plate 27 closes, but during that time, it is detected that a hit ball enters the specific winning opening 28 called a V zone. It also opens to make it easier to hit again. Such opening and closing of the door plate 27 is repeated up to 16 times. Therefore, a player can obtain many prize balls at one time in this special game state.

According to the present invention, when the special game state as described above is over, a lottery for determining whether or not the time can be extended is performed, and the result is displayed on the special symbol change display 25, and the result indicates that the time can be extended. Then, the mode is shifted to the time extension mode, and the time for the ordinary electric open / close winning device 23 to be in the open state is extended from 0.5 seconds to 5 seconds. That is, as shown in the flowchart of the special electric accessory routine of FIG. 5, the ball is hit in the ordinary electric opening / closing prize device 23, the special symbol change display 25 changes the symbol as described above, and at step (a). It is determined whether or not the stop symbol "777" or the like is a big hit symbol. If the big hit symbol becomes the special game state as described above, it is determined in step (b) whether the time extension mode flag is on or off (initial setting). In the case of off, a lottery is carried out by taking in a random number in step (c) and judging whether or not the random number is a predetermined value, and the lottery result is passed through step (d). In this case, the time extension mode number N = 4 is set, the time extension mode flag is turned on, the mode display lamps 13, 13,... Are turned on, and in step (f) = 4 displayed on the display 14. For this reason, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, when the normal symbol change indicator 22 stops at the numeral 7, the extension flag mode is determined to be on, and the normal electric open / close
It becomes a time extension mode in which it can be opened for two seconds, and it becomes easy to win a hit ball into the ordinary electric open / close prize device 23. It will be easier. On the other hand, if the lottery result in step (d) is out of order,
And if it is not a big hit in step (a), since it does not shift to the time extension mode, the opening time of the ordinary electric opening and closing winning device 23 is still 0.5 seconds.
If it is determined in step (b) that the time extension mode flag is already on even in the case of the jackpot in step (a), N-1 is calculated, and the calculation result is obtained in step (e). When it becomes zero, the time extension mode flag is turned off, and the mode display lamps 13, 13 ... are turned off. If it does not become zero, the calculation result of N is displayed in step (f). Therefore, the display 1
4 can always display the remaining number of time extension modes in which the time can be extended, and when the time extension mode flag is turned off, the mode display lamps 13, 13, 13. become.

The process of the lottery executed in step (c) is a scene such as when a dice is rolled on the special symbol change display 25 as shown in FIG. 6 when the special game state is over. Is displayed as a moving image, the two dice are aligned in the case of a hit, the non-aligned display is formed in the case of a loss, and the result of the lottery can be displayed to the player as interesting. Alternatively, the lottery result can be displayed by various interesting methods such as displaying "fortune" or "roulette" on the special symbol change display 25 other than the display using the dice.

In this embodiment, once the special game state occurs by setting the number N of time extension modes to N = 4, the opening time of the ordinary electric open / close winning device 23 is extended until the special game state occurs four times thereafter. However, the number of times can be appropriately set in advance.

In this embodiment, the mode display lamps 13, 13... Are provided to indicate the transition to the time extension mode, but the transition to the time extension mode is indicated by the background color of the special symbol change display 25. It is also possible to replace it with a special one or to display it in one corner of the special symbol change display 25. The display of the remaining number of times by the display 14 may be replaced by displaying it on a part of the special symbol change display 25.

[0015]

As described above, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, once the special game state occurs, the lottery process of whether or not the time can be extended is displayed when the special game state ends, and the time extension mode is set according to the result. In the case of shifting to, the opening time of the ordinary electric opening and closing prize device is made longer based on certain conditions or as a limit to the number of times of a certain special game state, so that it is easier to win the ordinary electric opening and closing prize device The symbols on the special symbol change indicator may change and stop frequently. Since whether or not to shift to the time extension mode is determined by the above-mentioned lottery result, it is possible to obtain an effect of further increasing the interest of the player and further improving the game characteristics.
