DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine,
In particular, the present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine generally referred to as a "rights thing" as defined in the Agreement as a third type pachinko gaming machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a third-type pachinko gaming machine, a special device is used when a specific condition is accidentally satisfied, such as when a game ball wins a specific winning opening provided in a game area on a game board. Is enabled, and the player obtains the right to perform a special game in which the player is newly enabled by using the special device enabled (hereinafter, the special device is hereinafter referred to as a special device). ). It is also characterized by the fact that if the right is repeatedly generated during the generation of the right, the right is extinguished together with the previous right.

[0003] In a conventional type 3 pachinko gaming machine of one type, a normal symbol having a lottery function (a symbol which is displayed when a game ball is started when a game ball passes through a start gate changes one after another and is randomly changed). When the symbol at that time stops and the symbol becomes a winning symbol, the specific winning opening is continuously opened for a certain period of time to form a so-called big hit state). It almost certainly passes through the special device operation area, and the special device becomes operable, so that the player has a right to play a predetermined game. In this type, the playability is almost the same as that of a first-class pachinko game machine (a specific winning opening is opened for a certain period of time when a specific condition is satisfied and a so-called big hit state). Support is persistent.

On the other hand, in the case of another conventional type 3 pachinko gaming machine, a game ball which has won a specific winning opening which has been opened by hitting the above-mentioned ordinary symbol is further provided with another lottery function for judging a special device operation. Activate a symbol (hereinafter, referred to as a special device operation determination symbol, abbreviated as a determination symbol), and the special device becomes operable only when the determination symbol hits (ie, the player obtains the right) ) Is a two-stage determination method. However, this two-stage determination method is
In fact, the fact that the two-stage determination method was used still provided the player with a feeling of simplicity and was not accepted much.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko game of the type classified as the third kind of pachinko game machine of the conventional two-stage judging system based on a normal symbol and a special device operation judging symbol. In order to eliminate the above-noted reputation of the player with respect to the machine, it is to enhance the playability.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems and Action and Effect of the Invention According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a gaming method using a pachinko gaming machine for solving the above-mentioned problems. Performing a timed opening of the opening member by a series of a plurality of opening time intervals sequentially giving time intervals,
The operation of the special device operation determination symbol that can be activated by the game ball winning the specific winning opening that has been opened in each opening time period is limited to once each in the opening time period, and the special device operation is performed. When the judgment symbol hits, the special device is operated, but the operation of the special device is limited to once per one time opening, and the special device operation judgment symbol has a maximum of the above-mentioned operation opportunity. It is characterized in that it can be repeatedly given by the number of open periods.

Here, the normal symbol or the special device operation determination symbol is composed of a plurality or one symbol displayed on a plurality or one symbol display arranged side by side on a game board, and a game ball (hit ball) is usually used. By winning the starting winning opening for the symbol or the judgment symbol or passing through the starting gate, a plurality of symbols are sequentially displayed on each display in a fluctuating manner, and after a certain time has elapsed, a random decision is made. One of the symbols is stopped and displayed on each display. And, in the case of a normal symbol, for example, in the case of a normal symbol, a case where any one of the symbols from 1 to 7 of the plurality of symbols (for example, 16 symbols) is stopped and displayed together with three displays is a hit symbol, In the case of a judgment symbol, it is determined in advance that a case in which one specific symbol is stopped and displayed on one display is a hit symbol. The probability that one of the hit symbols is stopped and displayed is determined to be, for example, 1/100 for a normal symbol and 1/3 for a judgment symbol. In this case, there are usually seven types of winning symbols. For example, when any one of the winning symbols comes out, the time opening of the variable opening member of the specific winning opening is set to, for example, 6 as in the past. Instead of performing the opening once in seconds, the time opening is performed in a series of two opening times in which the above-mentioned six seconds are divided into two, for example, and each three-second opening time is sequentially given at intervals of up to two times. Or the above 6
For example, it is performed in a series of three open time periods in which seconds are sequentially given at intervals of up to three times in an open time period of 2 seconds each divided into three. It should be noted that the opening / closing drive for the time opening of the variable opening member of the specific winning opening, which is normally performed once per symbol, is prohibited by the rules after a certain time (30 seconds) has elapsed from the initial opening operation. In such a case, the time opening is completed within the time range.

[0008] In this manner, in one time opening performed for one normal symbol hit, the number of opening time periods for opening the variable opening member of the specific winning opening is made plural (however, a plurality of opening time periods in each case) The length of time is not always constant)
At the same time, when a game ball wins in the specific winning opening opened in each opening time period and the special device operation determination symbol is started, the starting of the determination symbol is limited to once in the opening time period. When the result of the judgment is a hit, the special device is operated, but the special device is operated once per one time opening (however, the special device is operated once in the judgment symbol as described later). If a series of repeated operations is enabled by a hit, the series of repeated operations is regarded as one operation in this case). The number of times of opening the special device is determined so that the special device operation determination symbol can be repeatedly provided with the operation opportunity. Therefore, the special winning opening 1
During the time opening, the right to allow the player to play a special game using the special device is not generated twice so that a so-called right puncture does not occur, and a specific winning opening is also provided. Without increasing the total opening time of the variable opening member in one operation (timed opening) of the third type pachinko gaming machine of the conventional two-stage determination method (the variable opening member of the specific winning opening Compared with the case where the time opening is completed only by one opening time period), the lottery probability of the above right generation is increased when the game technology of making the specific winning opening being opened to hit the ball is increased, and the game is boring. You can avoid feeling it. That is, the game characteristics and entertainment of the game are enhanced. In addition, the operation of each ordinary symbol after the operation of the specific winning opening that has led to the right generation (time opening) and the operation until the operation of the specific winning opening (time opening) that also leads to the right occurrence occurs once. The lottery probability of the hit symbol is 1
It is increased to 0 times (lottery probability 1/10) to obtain a so-called two-time right, or after a specific winning opening that has resulted in the right being activated (timed opening), a specific winning that also leads to the right generation A game in which the lottery probability of a hit symbol in the operation of each ordinary symbol until the mouth operation (timed opening) is performed twice is increased to, for example, 10 times (lottery probability 1/10) to obtain what is called a right three times. The law can be adopted to enhance the gambling of the game.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a gaming method using the pachinko gaming machine according to the first aspect of the present invention, wherein the number of the open time periods in the time opening is set to the number of the normal symbols. Depending on the type of the hit symbol, a case where the number is at least 1 may be included, and is different.

In the game method using the pachinko gaming machine according to the second aspect of the present invention, for example, in the case of the above-described example, there are usually seven types of winning symbols, and for example, three of them are arranged. Five normal hit symbols other than the two special hit symbols when aligned with time and 7 (that is,
1, 2, 4, 5, or 6), the time opening of the variable opening member of the specific winning opening is performed once, for example, once in 6 seconds, as in the related art. In the above two special cases (that is, when the symbols are aligned at 3 or 7), the time opening is sequentially performed at intervals of up to two times in the opening time of 3 seconds, for example, which is obtained by dividing the 6 seconds into two. This is done in a series of two open time periods of giving, or alternatively, in a series of three open time periods of giving the above six seconds, for example, in three open time intervals of two seconds each with three time intervals. To do.

In this manner, in one time opening performed for one hit of a normal symbol, the number of times of opening the variable opening member of the specific winning opening is set to a minimum value depending on the type of the hit symbol of the normal symbol. Which may include the case of 1.
Make a difference. For this reason, in addition to the same operation and effect as the above-mentioned operation and effect of the invention according to claim 1, depending on the type of the hit symbol of the ordinary symbol, the lottery probability of the subsequent judgment symbol, that is, the lottery probability of the right generation is increased. Since it is substantially increased, the player can have a sense of expectation that the above-mentioned specific type of hit symbol will appear.
Compared to the case of the kind pachinko gaming machine (when the time opening of the variable opening member of the specific winning opening ends with the same number of open time periods regardless of the type of the hit symbol in the normal symbol), a change or pleasure is generated in the game. That is, gambling is further added to the game, and the gambling is improved. In the case where the number of open time periods in the above time period open is plural only for special limited hit symbols and only once for other hit symbols, the real lottery probability of right generation as a whole game is The game performance can be enhanced as a whole without significantly increasing the game performance. It should be noted that the game method according to the second aspect of the invention can be a so-called two-time right or a three-time right as in the case of the first aspect of the invention. In the game method according to the second aspect of the present invention, the number of open time periods is set to a plurality only when a special limited hit symbol is set, and is set to one when the other hit symbols are set.
In the case where the above-mentioned two or three times right thing is adopted when the real lottery probability of the occurrence of the right as the whole game is not so much increased as only the number of times, the lottery probability of the symbol per hit of the ordinary symbol is increased to, for example, 10 times. During the raising, that is, during the so-called probability fluctuation, the time opening of the specific winning opening is frequently performed, so that the decrease of the possessed ball is suppressed, and the second or second and third rights are easily generated. . That is, the gambling of the game can be advantageously increased.

When the winning game ball entered from the specific winning opening 70 of the specific winning opening assembly device 7 formed by the first and first 71 enters the stationary recess 91 located immediately below the opening, it is detected from the judgment symbol operation switch 85. An output is generated, which is used to determine whether or not to activate the special device (here, the device including the third type starting port 10 and the special winning port 11). The operation of the determination symbol is turned on, and the display of the symbol on the display 5 is started to change. The change display of the symbol of the judgment symbol and the stop display of the hit symbol at a predetermined probability (here, 1/3 probability) are performed in the same manner as in the case of the normal symbol. Then, when the judgment symbol comes into contact, the rotating body 86 starts one clockwise rotation, during which the game ball stopped and held in the stopping recess 91 is taken into the rotating body side recess 86a and further. The paper is discharged to the right side of the normal winning passage 92. When the judgment symbol is off, start one rotation counterclockwise,
The game ball is discharged to the normal winning passage 93 on the left side. A stopper 95 as a stopper means of the present invention is provided at a position immediately above the stop recess 91 as a game ball stopping portion.
Is provided so as to be able to protrude forward from a hole provided in the base plate 72. Here, the stopper 95
Is composed of an integral body consisting of the valve part 95a on the front side, the intermediate valve body sliding part 95b on the intermediate side, and the forked arm part 95c on the rear end side. It is slidably fitted only in the front-rear direction into the square holes provided in both the base plate 72 and the ball flow motor base 87. The driving of the stopper 95 in the front-rear direction is performed by the front-rear movement of a core rod (not shown) of a stopper on / off solenoid 96 attached to the solenoid base (A) 73a and the solenoid base (B) 73b, and a link mechanism. This is done by using and expanding. The link mechanism has a substantially rod shape, and has a position near the upper end as a center of rotation, and an arm bar type link pivotally attached to a shaft (not shown) supported between left and right side plates of the solenoid base (A) 73a. 97 are used. And the arm stick type link 9
7 has a long hole formed in the middle part thereof, and a transverse shaft supported between the forks of a forked part 98 integral with the core rod of the solenoid 96 is slidably and rotatably inserted into the long hole. ing.
At the lower end side of the arm-bar-shaped link 97, a left and right overhanging shaft is provided integrally with the link, and the left and right overhanging shaft is a forked portion 95c of the stopper 95.
Slidably and rotatably inserted into a long hole formed in each crotch plate, so that the reciprocating motion of the core rod of the solenoid 96 in the front-rear direction is a reciprocating motion in the front-rear direction enlarged by the stopper 95. Reportedly. Thus, when the stopper on / off solenoid 96 is off, the mandrel comes to the position pushed forward by the coil spring, the valve portion 95a of the stopper 95 protrudes from the surface of the base plate 72, and the game ball reaches the ball retaining recess 91. The stopper is turned on. When the stopper on / off solenoid 96 is on, the mandrel comes to a position retracted rearward against the coil spring, and the valve portion 95a of the stopper 95 is
The stopper comes off when it comes to the position just retracted from the surface of No. 2. FIG. 5 shows a game ball 1
This shows a state in which a detection output is generated from the determination symbol operation switch 85 and the stopper 95 is turned on when 00 stops. The stopper 95 causes the operation of the determination symbol to occur two or more times before the opening time of the electric tulips 71, 71 which is currently continued ends, so that the so-called right is punctured (the rules of the third type pachinko gaming machine). In order to eliminate the possibility that all the rights will be lost while the right is generated again during the right generation), the game balls that have subsequently been won will be directly placed on the game balls already stopped in the stop recess 91. In order to prevent a malfunction from occurring due to a collision, and during the closed state of the electric tulips 71, the game ball is moved by the certain winning prize port 70 due to something.
Is provided in order to prevent a possibility that it is possible to generate a detection output to the determination symbol operation switch 85 and activate the determination symbol. In addition,
A game ball stops at the stop recess 91 and the stopper 9

Based on a command from the CPU 202, drive signals are respectively sent to the reserved ball display LEDs 12a to 12d, the ordinary symbol displays 4a to 4c, the judgment symbol display 5, the electric tulip opening / closing solenoid 74, the stopper on / off solenoid 96, and the special winning opening opening / closing solenoid 11b. An output circuit 206 for outputting data and a bus 207 for exchanging various data between the above-described units are provided.

In the control device 200 configured as described above, the CPU 202 controls the entire game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 by executing the basic game process and various interrupt control processes related thereto. Hereinafter, CPU
The basic game process executed by 202 and the interrupt control process performed in association with it will be described.

When the basic game process S10 of FIG. 8 is executed, it is first determined in S11 whether or not there is a start winning prize memory of a normal symbol. If there is no start winning memory, the process returns to the start and repeats the basic game process S10. If there is a memory, the process proceeds to the next normal symbol start / change / stop processing S12. The start winning is stored in an interrupt control process S20 using the detection output of the ordinary symbol start gate 6 as an interrupt signal, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is,
In this interrupt control process S20, first, a normal symbol to be stopped and displayed in S21 is set. This setting is performed at random using a random number. Here, as a random number, a loop counter formed in the microcomputer based on a clock provided in the CPU 202 of the control device 200 and counted up at regular intervals when the game ball accidentally passes the ordinary symbol start gate 6 by accident. Is adopted. For example, using four loop counters,
Among them, the first loop counter increments the value by one every 2.5 ms, for example, and the count value of the loop counter is one of the hit symbols (a symbol in which one of three numbers is 1 to 7). In this case, the stop probability is set to 1/100, so that the value is returned to 0 every time it reaches 700, and the value from 0 to 699 is sequentially and repeatedly set in the first loop counter. To be done. When the game ball passes through the normal symbol starting gate 6, the count value of the first loop counter at that time or at the time based on that time is read, and the read value is, for example, any value M from 1 to 7. , The winning symbol is set to MMM, and the symbols Za, Zb, and Zc of the ordinary symbol indicators 4a, 4b, and 4c are controlled to be M, M, and M, respectively, and are stopped and displayed. The three loop counters from the second loop counter to the fourth loop counter are the above three symbols Z in the case of a lost symbol.
Used for setting a, Zb, Zc. For this purpose, a loop counter that returns to 0 each time the count value reaches 16 corresponding to the number of variable symbols in each display, that is, 16 symbols in this case, is set sequentially and repeatedly from 0 to 15. You. The second loop counter is incremented in the same manner as the first loop counter, and the count value is read at the time when the game ball normally passes through the figure starting gate 6 or based on it. The third loop counter is incremented each time the second loop counter returns to 0, the fourth loop counter is incremented each time the third loop counter returns to 0, and the reading of the count value of the second loop counter is performed. At the same time, the count values of the third and fourth loop counters are also read. When the three symbols read by the second to fourth loop counters are hit symbols, the symbols are changed according to a predetermined rule into the non-designated symbols, and the non-designated symbols to be finally stopped and displayed are set. Thus, the symbol to be stopped and displayed in S21 is set. In addition, in the operation of each ordinary symbol after the operation of the specific winning opening that has resulted in the right (time opening) and until the operation of the specific winning opening (time opening) that also results in the right once occurs. The winning symbol lottery probability is increased, for example, by a factor of 10 (lottery probability 1/10) to obtain a so-called two-time right, or after the activation of a specific winning opening (time opening) leading to the right generation. The winning symbol lottery probability in the operation of each ordinary symbol until the operation of the specific winning opening (time opening) two times leading to the generation of the right occurs is set to, for example, 10
It is possible to further improve the gambling of the game by adopting a so-called three-time right game technique, which is increased to twice (lottery probability 1/10), but in the case of employing such a game method, , By increasing the number of count values to be hit by the first loop counter by 10 times, the hit probability becomes 1
What is necessary is just to make it 0 times. Next, in S22, it is determined whether or not the start winning prize memory is 4, and if it is 4, it is determined that no more is stored and the process returns to the return. If the start winning prize memory is not 4, the process proceeds to S23 to increment the starting prize storing number by one. Also S24
Then, the reserved ball display LEDs 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d are sequentially turned on by the number of the stored numbers, starting from the left LED 12a, and return to the return. In addition, the normal symbol start / change / stop process S12 in the flowchart of the basic game process of FIG.
The process S12 shown in FIG. 10 is performed. That is, first, S1
The timer counter T _C1 formed in the microcomputer 21 is reset to zero. Next, in S122, the symbol Z of each display 4a, 4b, 4c is usually accompanied by the start of the symbol.
In a, Zb, Zc, a plurality of types of symbols, in this case, 16 types of symbols (however, the symbols from 1 to 7 are included therein)
Are read out from the image ROM, and are displayed one by one on the fastest display at a time interval of, for example, 10 ms. Then, in S123, it is determined whether or not T _C1 has become 10 seconds or more.
Zb and Zc are sequentially and repeatedly changed. Then, when T _C1 reaches 10 seconds, the process proceeds to S124, and stops, for example, in the order of Za → Zc → Zb so that a predetermined symbol is displayed. Returning to FIG. 8 again, in S13, −1 is set when the number of stored memories is one or more. At this time, one of the holding ball LEDs is also turned off. Next, the process proceeds to S14, where it is determined whether or not the symbol stopped and displayed is a hit symbol. If the winning symbol is determined in S14, the process proceeds to S15, and the specific winning opening related device control processing is executed. When the specific winning port related device control processing is completed, the process returns to S11 and repeats this processing S10.

FIG. 11 shows a flowchart of the control processing of the special winning port related device S15. First, in S151, it is determined whether or not the hit symbol of the normal symbol is 7 and the hit symbol is aligned. If not, the process proceeds to S152, and it is determined whether or not the hit symbol is completed in step 3. If this is also not the case, the hit symbol is a normal hit symbol (in this case, a symbol in which the numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 are aligned in three digits). (FIG. 13 shows a flowchart showing the processing contents). After the start processing is performed, the process proceeds to the electric tulip control processing of a normal winning symbol in S154. Before explaining the stopper interruption control processing S30, the electric tulip control processing S of the ordinary hit symbol shown in the flowchart of FIG.
154 will be described.

In the electric tulip control processing S154 of the ordinary winning symbol shown in FIG.
Control is performed so that the timed release of 1, 71 is performed only once for 6 seconds. First, resets the timer counter T ₁ formed in the microcomputer in S154-1 to zero, then the electric tulip 71 S154-2,
71 was opened, followed by T ₁ proceeds to S154-3 waits for elapse of a predetermined opening is determined whether reaches the timed 6 seconds 6 seconds.
After 6 seconds, proceed to S154-4 for electric tuuri 7
The process is ended by closing the steps 1 and 71, and the process returns to S11 of the basic game process S10 in FIG. 8 to repeat the basic game process S10.

On the other hand, FIG. 14 shows the above S36 (S57,
A flowchart showing a judgment symbol in which an interruption is started every 4 ms in S76) and the contents of the interruption control processing S40 for the rotating body 86 are shown. In the step S41, a process of setting a judgment symbol is performed. This determination symbol setting is performed at random using random numbers in the same manner as in the case of the ordinary symbol setting performed in S21, and here, the symbol setting is performed with the occurrence probability of the hit symbol being one third. . Next, in S42, start / change / stop processing of the judgment symbol is performed. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the contents of the process S42. First resets the timer counter T _C2 to zero at S421. Next, S42
At 2, the symbol Ya of the display 5 is displayed with the start of the judgment symbol.
A plurality of symbols including a number symbol from 1 to 3 are displayed in an image RO.
Read from M and display it fluctuated. In S423, it is determined whether or not T _C2 has reached 3 seconds. Until T _C2 reaches 3 seconds, the process returns to S422, and the symbol Ya is sequentially and repeatedly changed. And when T _C2 reaches 3 seconds, S424
To stop the display so that the predetermined symbol is stopped and displayed in Ya. Returning to the process S40 shown in FIG. 14, in S43, it is determined again whether or not the determined symbol is a hit symbol. Guide the sphere. Then S
At 45, wait until the special device operation switch 94 is turned on, and then press S.
Proceeding to 46, the right state (memory) is reversed. That is, when there is no right, it is changed to right. Conversely, when there is a right, it can be changed without a right. Thereafter, in S47, the interruption of the interrupt control process is stopped, and the interrupt control process S40 ends. If the judgment symbol is off in S43, the rotating body 86 is rotated counterclockwise in S48 to guide the game ball in the stand-by state to the off area, and then jumps to S47 to stop the interruption of the interruption control processing and stop this interruption. Control processing S4
End 0. The time from the start of the ordinary symbol to the stop in S12 is the same as that of the game ball in which the rotator 86 is parked in the recess 91 after the interrupt control process S40 is started and after the process of S44 or S48. 86-side recess 86
It is set to be sufficiently longer than the time required for taking in the a and making the above-mentioned stopping recess 91 an empty stopping recess,
By the next operation of the specific winning opening, the stop recess 91 is always vacant. Here, the time from the start to the stop of the ordinary symbol in S12 is set to be longer than the time required from the start of the interrupt control process S40 to the reversal of the right state in S46. After the occurrence of the right, the right is prevented from being punctured due to the right being generated when the next specific winning opening is opened for a limited time.

As described above, in the case of a normal hit symbol (here, when 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 are aligned), one operation of the specific winning opening (timed release) and a maximum of one determination are made. It only gives you the opportunity to activate the design. Returning to the specific winning opening related device control processing S15 of FIG. 11, if the winning symbol is a winning symbol aligned with 3 in S152, the process proceeds to S155.
Stopper interrupt control processing S40 for hit symbol 3
(FIG. 17 shows a flowchart showing the processing contents)
Is performed, the process proceeds to the electric tulip control process for the symbol 3 in S156. Before describing the stopper interruption control processing S40, the electric tulip control processing S156 of the hit symbol 3 shown in the flowchart of FIG. 16 will be described.

In the electric tulip control processing S156 for the hit symbol 3 shown in FIG.
Control is performed so that the time opening of 71 is performed in a series of two opening times, in which an opening time of 3 seconds is given twice with a time interval of 15 seconds. First reset the S156-1 in the timer counter T ₂ to zero, then resets the timer counter T ₁ to zero in S156-2, then S156-3
To open the electric tulips 71, 71. Then S1
T ₁ proceeds to 56 - 4 are to determine whether or not reached a predetermined opening time period 3 seconds, waiting for the elapse of 3 seconds. S3 when it reaches 3 seconds
Proceed to 6-5 and close the electric tulips 71, 71. Next, the process proceeds to S156-6, where T ₂ is the electric tulip 71,
It is confirmed that it has not reached the predetermined time 21 seconds at which the 71 should be finally driven to close, and the flow advances to the next S156-7 where T ₁
Waits for the second electric tutu-lip opening drive time of 18 seconds, and then returns to S156-2, and returns to S156.
In the steps from -2 to S156-5, the second opening time of 3 seconds is realized in the same manner as the first time. S15
6-1 6, T ₂ is over this process to verify that exceeds 21 seconds above, repeated basic game processing S10 returns to S11 in the basic game process S10 in FIG. 8.

FIG. 17 shows a stopper interrupt control process S for the symbol 3 at the start of an interrupt every 4 ms in S155.
5 shows a flowchart showing the contents of the reference numeral 50. First, S51
In the counter is reset timer T ₄ to zero, then S5
It resets the timer counter T ₃ to zero at 2, then S
At 53, it is determined whether or not the right state (memory) is right. If it is confirmed that no right is being generated, the process proceeds to S54, where the stopper 95 is turned off in accordance with the opening of the electric tulips 71,71. Then special device operation determination operation determines the detection output is whether the switch 85 of the symbols in S55, when the whether is T ₃ advances to S56, a predetermined open time limit 3 seconds for the same reasons as mentioned when step S30 It is determined whether the length is a little longer, that is, whether the time has reached 4 seconds. If the time has not reached 4 seconds, the process returns to S53 to wait for the determination symbol operation switch 85 to be repeatedly turned on. In the meantime, in S55, when the game ball which has won the opening 70 of the opened electric tulip 71, 71 is stopped in the stop recess 91 and the determination symbol operation switch 85 is turned on, it is immediately detected. Proceeding to S57, after performing the start processing of the interrupt control processing for the determination symbol and the rotating body 86, S
Proceeding to 58, the stopper 95 is turned on. Then S5
At 9 the timer counter T ₄ turns the electric tulips 71, 7
Advance one to the next S60 to confirm that the end does not reach the point 21 seconds to be closed drive, where up to T ₃ is to count a second motor tulip open timed beginning 18 seconds, in parallel Regardless of whether the determination result of the determination symbol performed in the interrupt control processing S40 being performed is a hit or not, the control waits while the stopper 95 is kept on. Then, the process proceeds to S61. On the other hand if the determination symbol activation switch 85 at S55 is still not turned ON, the T ₃ in S56 to turn on the stopper 95 advances to S58 After counting the 4 seconds. Then the timer counter T ₄ at S59 is, when to be finally closed drive the electric tulip 71 2
After confirming that one second has not been reached, proceed to the next S60,
Here wait until T ₃ is counting the seconds second electric tulip open timed start point 18, proceed to the next S61. S
At 61, it is determined whether or not the determined symbol was a hit symbol as a result of the case where the determination symbol operation switch 85 was turned on at S55. Is performed, and this interrupt processing ends. If the symbol has been removed in S61 or if the determination symbol operation switch 85 has not been turned on, the process returns to S52 to give a second determination symbol activation opportunity, and thereafter, the processing from S52 to S58 is performed in the same manner as above. Done. After the stopper 95 is turned on in S58, the process waits for the elapse of the predetermined time 21 seconds in S59 or checks the elapse and jumps to S62, stops the interrupt of the interrupt control process, and ends the interrupt process. .
When the determination symbol operation switch 85 is turned on in S55, the determination symbol and the rotating body 9 of FIG.
The interrupt control process S40 of 5 starts with an interrupt every 4 ms, and the process up to S44 or S48 is immediately performed. By the time of the determination in S61, it is obvious that the determination result of the determination symbol has been known, and
The game balls parked at 1 are already discharged from the parking recesses. If the right status is right in S53, the process goes to S55 without turning off the stopper 95.
And S56, wait for a time, and while the right continues, the stopper 95 is kept on to prevent a so-called right puncture.

As described above, when the hit symbol is 3, one operation (timed opening) of the specific winning opening provides a maximum of two determination symbol operation opportunities. Returning to the special winning port related device control processing S15 in FIG. 11, if the winning symbol is a winning symbol aligned in S151 in S151, the process proceeds to S157.
Stopper interrupt control processing S70 in case of hit symbol 7
(FIG. 19 shows a flowchart showing the processing contents.)
Is performed, the process proceeds to the electric tulip control process for the hit symbol 7 in S158. Before describing the stopper interruption control processing S70, the winning symbol 7 electric tulip control processing S158 shown in the flowchart of FIG. 18 will be described.

In the electric tulip control processing S158 of the winning symbol 7 shown in FIG.
Control is performed so that the opening of the time period 71 is performed in a series of three opening time periods, in which an opening time period of 2 seconds is given three times with a time interval of 12 seconds.

As described above, when the winning symbol is 7, one operation (timed release) of the specific winning opening provides a maximum of three determination symbol operating opportunities. FIG. 20 shows a special device interrupt control process S, which always proceeds while interrupting every 4 ms.
4 shows a flowchart representing the contents of the example 100. First, S1
In 01, it is determined whether the right state (memory) is right or not,
If there is no right, go back to the start and wait for the right.
When the right is generated, the process proceeds to S102, the third kind starting winning opening 10
It is determined whether or not there is a detection output from the third type start-up winning sensor 10a, and if not, the process returns to S101 to repeat and wait for a winning. S102 when there is a win is a round counter incremented proceeds to S103, and then the winning counter to the special winning opening 11 is reset to zero in S104, then resets the timer counter T ₂ to zero in S105, and then S106 To open and drive the attacker of the special winning opening 11. Next, in S107, the timer counter T ₂ determines whether it is 10 seconds. If not, the process proceeds to the next step S108, and it is determined whether or not the number of counts of the winning counter for the special winning opening 11 has reached 10 (the number may be set to any number if it is 10 or less). If not, S1
Repeatedly returns to 07, the process proceeds to S109 to wait for when a person counts winning counter to or special winning opening 11 timer counter T ₂ reaches 10 seconds earlier either reached 10 is achieved, a large The attacker at the winning opening 11 is closed. Next, in S110, the round counter is 16 (16
(If the number is less than or equal to the round, the number of rounds may be set.) If it is not 16, that is, if the state has not reached the state after the 16th round, the process returns to S101. The process is repeated in the same manner as described above. In addition, the count of the number of winnings to the grand winning opening 11 is,
This is performed by an interrupt control process S200 for counting a winning in the special winning opening 11 using the detection output of the special winning opening count switch 11a as an interrupt signal shown in FIG. This processing S200 ends the prize counter for the special winning opening 11 by +1 in S201. Returning to S110 of S100,
If the round counter is 16, the process proceeds to S111, where the round counter is reset to zero, the right status is terminated in S112, that is, no right is set, and the process returns to S101 to repeat this process S100.
If the right is repeatedly generated during the operation of the special device for some reason, the right status is reversed in S46 and the right is denied. Therefore, in S101 of this process, the process waits until the next right is generated. As a result, the operation of this special device is completed by the round that has actually ended.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, step S14 of the basic game process S10 shown in FIG. 8 and steps S151 and S15 of the specific winning port related device control process S15 shown in FIG.

As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment
Now, the lottery probability that the right to use the special device is generated,
If there is a game technique that allows the hit ball to enter the opened special winning opening 70, it can be substantially increased without causing a so-called right puncture, and the game property and amusement of the game can be enhanced accordingly. . In addition, since the subsequent lottery probabilities differ depending on the type of the hit symbol in the normal symbol and are substantially increased, gambling is added to the game. In the case of this embodiment, the special winning symbol, that is, in the case of two types of winning symbols, that is, when they are aligned with 3, and when they are aligned with 7, is to substantially increase the lottery probability of the subsequent right occurrence. , And in the case of the other five normal winning symbols, the subsequent lottery probability of the right generation is the same as the conventional case, so that the lottery probability of the right generation as the whole game is not so much increased. When the above-mentioned two-time right or three-time right is used, the probability of hitting a normal symbol is higher during the probability fluctuation than in the method that is not so because the two-stage judgment method is used originally. Basically relying on the setting, the time-opening of the electric tulips 71, 71 of the specific winning opening is frequently performed, and as a result, the decrease of the possessed ball during the probability fluctuation is suppressed. Rights is likely to occur together twice or three times Te. That is, the gambling of the game can be advantageously increased.

In the above-described embodiment, the time from the start to the stop of the normal symbol is determined by turning on the determination symbol operation switch 85 to S4 of the interrupt control process S40 of the determination symbol and the rotating body.
6 to prevent the so-called right puncture from being generated by making the time longer than the time required for the reversal of the right state (right generation) to be performed. When returning from the processing S15 to S11, the processing may be performed by confirming that the processing of the above S40 is completed and then returning.
