Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve interest by displaying the lottery result by drawing lots even during the generation of value-added state caused by success, and generating the value-added state continuously to the end of value-added state when the lottery result shows success. SOLUTION: When a ball wins a prize at a start prize winning hole 13, this is detected by a prize winning detection switch 14 and transmitted to a CPU 61 at a control means 50. The CPU 61 draws lots and even when the lottery result shows success or failure, the lottery result is sent to a CPU 51 at a display control part 50a. After the indication on a variable display means 20 at the display control part 50a is changed continuously for prescribed time, the picture pattern of the lottery result is displayed. When the ball wins a prize at the start prize winning hole 13 before the end of the indication change on the variable display means 20, the authority of lottery due to the CPU 61 is held and stored in a RAM 63, and holding is displayed on a holding display means 40. Then, when the indication change on the variable display means 20 stops and the lottery result shows success, a driving signal is sent from the CPU 61 to a solenoid 32 at a variable prize winning hole 30, and the value- added state is generated for an attacker 31.

Next, the operation will be described.

In FIG. 1, a pachinko ball that has been launched into the game board surface 12 by the operation of the handle 11 drops while changing its direction in various ways while hitting a nail or a windmill hit on the game board surface 12. Before reaching the outlet 15 provided at the bottom of the center of the game board surface 12, the winning openings C, C,
When any one of the prizes 13, E ... is won, prize balls are discharged.

When the pachinko ball wins the starting winning opening 13, the winning detection switch 14 of the starting winning opening 13 detects the pachinko ball and the CPU 61 of the game control section 50b of the control means 50.
A detection signal is transmitted to. CPU6 that received the detection signal
1 draws lots. There are two types of lottery results: "win" that creates a value-added state that is advantageous to the player, and "miss" that does not bring any advantageous state to the player, but in any case, the lottery result information is displayed and controlled. It is sent to the CPU 51 of the section 50a. The display control unit 50a causes the variable display means 20 to continue the display change for a predetermined time, and then stops so as to display the symbol indicating the lottery result.

If there is a winning of a pachinko ball in the starting winning opening 13 before the change of the display of the variable display means 20 is completed, a detection signal is sent from the winning detection switch 14 which detects it to the CPU 61 of the game control section 50b. Along with CPU6
The right of the lottery by 1 is reserved and stored in the RAM 63 and displayed on the reservation display means 40.

Pachinko balls that have won the variable winning port 30 while the value-added state is occurring are counted by the winning ball counter 33, and the information is stored in the CPU.
It is sent to 61.

The characteristic operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

If a pachinko ball is won in the starting winning port 13 while the value-added state is occurring (step 1), the CPU 61 of the game control section 50b carries out a lottery (step 2), and if it is lost (step 3). Is a variable display means 20
Is displayed as "Loss" (step 4), and the value-added state in progress is terminated.

When the lottery result is "winning" (step 3), "winning" is displayed on the variable display means 20 (step 5), and the generation of the added value state is suspended (step 6). At this time, the display control unit 50a causes the variable display means 20 to
Display the value-added status hold on. When the previous value-added state ends (step 7), the CPU 61 causes the variable winning a prize port 30 to generate the value-added state in order to generate the value-added state for the reserved amount (step 8).

In this embodiment, when there is a winning of a pachinko ball in the starting winning port 13 during the occurrence of the value-added state, the lottery is performed even if the value-added state is not finished, and the lottery result is displayed. If the lottery result is “win”, the added value state is generated subsequent to the previous added value state.

As a result, the player can enjoy the hit loss displayed by the variable display means 20 even while the value-added state is occurring.

If there is a pachinko ball winning at the starting winning port 13 before the above-mentioned value-added state ends,
If the CPU 61 performs a lottery and the result is "win" again, it is withheld, and when the previous value-added state is finished and the value-added state for the hold is generated, the winning of the pachinko ball to the start winning port 13 is won. Similarly, if the lottery result is "win", the value-added state is suspended, and when the value-added state occurs in this way, there is a winning of a pachinko ball to the start winning hole 13, and the lottery result is "win". ", The value-added state brought about by" winning "may be accumulated and held.

As a result, the interest of the player is significantly increased.

[0041]
