Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a game board, and reference numeral 3 denotes a hit ball firing operation handle that is rotated by a player. The game board 2 is provided with a windmill 4, a regular winning opening 5 and the like, a starting winning opening 6, an electric opening / closing big winning opening 7, and an electronic display 8 including a color liquid crystal display device, a CRT and the like. There is. 11 is a jackpot display lamp. FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of this pachinko gaming machine. When a ball hits the start winning opening 6, the ball sensor 13 shown in FIG. 2 detects the ball, and the display control board 16 operates in response to a command from the game control board 12 to display the three-digit number or symbol displayed on the electronic display 8. Fluctuate like rotating all at once. Then, after a few seconds, the fluctuation stops sequentially, and when the symbols are aligned with a certain probability like “777”, “☆☆☆”, etc., a jackpot is won, and the electric opening / closing large winning opening 7
The opening / closing door 9 is opened by the operation of the solenoid 14 so that a hit ball flowing down on the game board 2 can be extremely easily entered into the electric opening / closing big winning opening 7. A continuous winning opening (referred to as a V zone) 10 is further provided in the electric opening and closing winning prize 7, and a part of the hit ball entering the electric opening and closing winning prize 7 is the continuous winning opening 10. When entering, the ball is actuated by the ball sensor 15 to be electronically stored in the game control board 12.

The ball hitting the electric opening / closing big winning opening 7 is detected by the ball sensor 24, and when 10 winning balls enter or 30 seconds elapse, the electric opening / closing big winning opening 7 is temporarily closed by the solenoid 14. As described above, when it is memorized that the continuous winning opening 10 has hit a ball, immediately after that, the electric opening / closing large winning opening 7 is reopened, and the electric opening / closing large winning opening 7 continues to be easily hit. Thereafter, similarly, on condition that a hit ball wins in the continuous winning opening 10, the electric opening / closing large winning opening 7 is continuously opened and closed until the maximum number of continuous opening and closing times reaches 16 times.

As shown, the game control board 12 has a read-only memory (ROM) in which game contents are stored, a microprocessor for executing the same, and an input / output device (I / O).
O) and. The display control board 16 receives a command from the game control board 12 and activates a video display processor (VDP) 17 and a sound source (SOUND IC) 18 such as an FM sound source and a PCM sound source.
9 and a read-only memory (RO for image data removably connected to the video display processor 17
M) 20, a read-only memory (ROM) 21 for sound data that is detachably connected to the sound source 18, and the sound source 1.
It is composed of an amplifier 23 that amplifies the audio output of 8 and drives a speaker 22 provided on the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

The read-only memory 20 connected to the video display processor 17 stores lyrics such as hit songs and background images, or image data such as a figure of the singer. The read-only memory 21 connected to the sound source 18 has a PCM that accompanies and sings the hit song.
Sound data such as data is stored.

Therefore, the video display processor 1
7 is a sub CPU 19 when a hit ball enters the starting winning opening 6
In accordance with a command from, the symbols are variably displayed on the electronic display 8 as described above, and when the symbols are aligned and become a big hit, the video display processor 17 reads out a predetermined image from the read-only memory 20 and reads out to the sound source 18. Predetermined sound data is read from the dedicated memory 21,
The image is displayed on the electronic display 8 in synchronization with the sound output from the sound source 18. FIG. 3 shows an example of a display image on the electronic display 8. As shown in FIG. 4, this display image has a structure in which a game information plane, a pattern plane, a singer image plane, and a lyrics plane are displayed as if a transparent sheet is overlaid on the background plane. The background image such as "mountain" shown in FIG. 3 is displayed, and the game information plane displays game information such as the number of continuous opening and closing (round number) and the winning number (count number) of the electric opening and closing big winning opening 7. , A jackpot such as "777" is displayed on the pattern plane, a singer singing is displayed as a video on the singer image plane, and the displayed lyrics are displayed on the lyrics plane. Displayed as the process progresses. Therefore, the player can sing along with the accompaniment played from the speaker 22.
