Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a third type pachinko machine which can prevent the desire for a game from lowering by reducing discomfort as felt by a player when no right is generated despite a fact that a specified prize port is opened. SOLUTION: A pachinko ball enters an initial port and after a pattern is variably displayed on an ordinary pattern display device, a hit pattern is stopped and displayed and an electric tulip is opened. When the pachinko ball is halted in a halting device during the opening (YES at S50, YES at S60), the halting is released 2 sec after the end of the opening. Thereafter, when the pachinko ball reaches a special device actuation area, the right is generated to finish a processing. On the other hand, when not one pachinko ball wins a prize nor when a winning ball is not halted by the halting device (NO at S60) while the electric tulip is opened (NO at S50), the processing is finished at this moment and the subsequent variable display is quickly started.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine having a third-type starting port, which is usually provided with a symbol display device and a specific winning port.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a pachinko game machine with a type 3 starting port (hereinafter referred to as a "type 3 pachinko game machine" or simply "pachinko game machine"), when a pachinko ball wins a starting port or a starting gate. Is passed, the symbol is variably displayed on the ordinary symbol display device. Specifically, the rotating drum on which the symbols are printed is rotated at a high speed. Alternatively, the display content of the liquid crystal display is changed at a high speed. After a while, the hit symbol or the missing symbol is stopped and displayed. When the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, the specific winning opening is opened for a predetermined time. At this time, when the pachinko ball that has won the specific winning opening reaches the special device operation area,
The right to transition to a gaming state advantageous to the player is generated. And with this right in place,
When the pachinko ball wins at the seed starting port, the big winning port is opened.

[0003] In general, during the process from when the pachinko ball wins the special winning opening to when the pachinko ball reaches the special device operation area, various intentions are elaborated in order to entertain the player. Some pachinko balls hold the winning pachinko ball while the winning opening is open, and slowly lead to the special device operation area over a period of several seconds to several tens of seconds after the specific winning opening is closed, or even longer. In general, a conventional type 3 pachinko gaming machine generally displays a symbol on a normal symbol display device until a sufficient time elapses for the pachinko ball to reach the special device operation area after the specific winning opening is closed. It is configured so as not to fluctuate. This means that if a symbol is changed and displayed too early, the symbol will be stopped and displayed at an early stage accordingly, and if the stopped and displayed symbol is a hit symbol, the specific winning opening will be restarted early. This is because there is a risk that the rights may be lost and the rights may be extinguished due to the overlapping of the rights (hereinafter referred to as “the rights are punctured”).

[0004]

However, in the conventional type 3 pachinko gaming machine, the time from when the hit symbol is stopped and displayed until the next variable display is performed regardless of whether or not the right is generated. (Hereinafter referred to as “fluctuation prohibition time”) is constant. For this reason, for example, even if it is clear that no pachinko ball wins during the opening of the specific winning opening due to a wrong firing intensity by the player and no right is generated, the set fluctuation prohibition time (for example, 20 Until the elapse of (second), the next fluctuation display is not performed. For this reason, the player must wait for the next variable display to be performed while staring at the hit symbol, and in some cases, may give the player discomfort and reduce the player's willingness to play. is there.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and it is possible to reduce the discomfort given to a player when a right does not occur even though a specific winning opening is opened. It is another object of the present invention to provide a third-type pachinko gaming machine capable of preventing a decrease in game motivation.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention In order to achieve such an object, a pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention comprises a plurality of hit symbols and a plurality of non-hit symbols. A normal symbol display device for selectively displaying any of the normal symbols, and a fluctuating display of the symbol on the normal symbol display device when the pachinko ball wins the starting opening or passes through the starting gate. The symbol changing means to be performed, the symbol changing means of the ordinary symbol display device by the symbol changing device is released, and the symbol stopping means for stopping and displaying the symbol on the ordinary symbol display device, and the symbol stopping means is stopped and displayed. When the symbol is a hit symbol, a change prohibiting device that prohibits the operation of the symbol changing device for a preset change prohibition time, and a symbol stopped and displayed by the symbol stopping device is a hit symbol. A special winning opening that is opened only for a preset opening time, a special device operating area set in a part of the specific winning opening, and a pachinko ball that wins the specific winning opening during the opening of the specific winning opening. A right generating means for generating a right to shift to a game state advantageous to the player when the special device operation area is reached, and a third type start provided separately from the start opening and the specific winning opening A pachinko game machine having a mouth and a special winning opening that is opened when the pachinko ball wins the third type starting opening in a state where the right is generated. The right to judge whether the right may be generated based on the status of the pachinko ball winning the winning opening or the operation status of the device that is activated by the pachinko ball winning the specific winning opening. And the occurrence determination means,
And a change permitting means for releasing the prohibition by the change prohibiting means and permitting the operation of the symbol changing means when the right occurrence determining means determines that there is no possibility of the right being generated. And

In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, when the pachinko ball wins the starting port or passes through the starting gate, the symbol changing means displays the symbols on the ordinary symbol display device, and thereafter the symbol stopping means changes the symbols. Is stopped. When the symbol stopped and displayed by the symbol stopping means is a hit symbol, the specific winning opening is opened for a predetermined opening time (for example, 6 seconds) and a predetermined fluctuation prohibition time (for example, 20 seconds) elapses. Until the change, the change prohibiting means prohibits the operation of the symbol changing means. Then, when the pachinko ball wins during the opening of the specific winning opening and further reaches the special device operation area in the specific winning opening, the right generating means generates the right. Thereafter, the player shoots a pachinko ball aiming at the third-type starting port and the special winning opening.

[0008] Then, for example, because the launching intensity of the pachinko ball is not appropriate, the right cannot be generated even though the specific winning opening is opened, that is, the pachinko ball reaches the special device operation area. If the situation falls into an unacceptable situation and the right occurrence determining means detects that fact, the change permitting means releases the prohibition by the change prohibiting means and permits the operation of the symbol changing means. Then, in this state, if the pachinko ball wins the starting opening, or passes through the starting gate, or if the winning (passing) of the pachinko ball is stored in a well-known winning (passing) storage device, the symbol changing means is used. Causes the symbol display device to normally display the symbol in a variable manner. For example, if the winning symbol is stopped and displayed, and it is detected that the right cannot be generated when the specific winning opening is opened and closed for 6 seconds, immediately after the lapse of 6 seconds after the winning symbol is stopped and displayed. The change display of the symbol can be started.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, when a situation occurs in which no right can be generated even though the specific winning opening is opened, the predetermined pattern is changed after the winning symbol is stopped and displayed. Even if the prohibition time (for example, 20 seconds) has not elapsed, the symbols are displayed in a fluctuating manner. Therefore, the player does not need to wait for the next fluctuating display while staring at the stopped and displayed hit symbols. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an effect that it is possible to reduce the discomfort given to the player when the right is not generated, and to prevent a decrease in the willingness to play. It should be noted that the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is configured to promptly display the next variable display only when no right is generated even though the specific winning opening is opened, and the specific winning opening is opened. When the right is generated, the next variable display is performed after a certain time (for example, 20 seconds) elapses after the hit symbol is stopped and displayed, as in the related art. This does not make it easier for the rights to be punctured.

[0010] As described in claim 2, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the right occurrence determining means includes a prize detecting means for detecting that a pachinko ball has won the specific winning opening. A first judging means for judging that there is no possibility that the right is generated when the winning detection of the pachinko ball is not detected by the winning detecting means during the opening of the specific winning opening. .

If no pachinko ball wins during the opening of the specific winning opening, no right is generated. Therefore, when the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is configured in this manner, the specific winning is achieved. It is possible to detect that no right is generated when the opening of the mouth is completed. For this reason, the next fluctuation display can be quickly performed.

Further, as described in claim 3, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the specific winning port is configured to temporarily stop the pachinko ball winning in the opening and release the stopping after closing. A stop device for moving the pachinko ball toward the special device operation area, wherein the right generation determining means includes a stop detection means for detecting that the pachinko ball has stopped on the stop device, and the stop detection A second judging means for judging that there is no possibility that the right is generated when the pachinko ball won in the opening of the specific winning opening by the means is not detected in the stopping device. You may.

[0013] In a pachinko gaming machine in which a stopping device is provided inside a specific winning opening, usually, one of the pachinko balls that wins during the opening of the specific winning opening is stopped by the stopping device, and the rest is guided to a release hole. . Then, after the opening of the specific winning opening is completed, the pachinko ball is released from being stopped, and the stopped pachinko ball moves toward the special device operation area.
For this reason, if the pachinko ball won in the opening of the specific winning opening does not stop in the stopping device, no right is generated. Therefore, even when the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is configured as described above, similarly, it can be detected that the right is not generated when the opening of the specific winning opening is completed, and the next Variable display can be performed. In addition,
The special winning opening may be configured so that the pachinko ball retained in the retaining device reaches the special device operating area reliably, or may not reach the special device operating area even if the pachinko ball stops in the retaining device. It may be configured as follows.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the specific winning port is one.
A number judging device for moving the winning pachinko ball toward the special device operation area when the number of pachinko balls winning during the opening is equal to or more than a preset condition number, and The means is a winning counting means for counting the pachinko balls winning in the specific winning opening during one opening, and when the number of pachinko balls counted by the winning counting means is less than the condition number, Third determining means for determining that there is no possibility that a right is generated may be provided.

In a pachinko game machine in which a number judging device is provided inside a specific winning opening, no right is generated unless a specific number of pachinko balls are won in the specific winning opening. Even when the gaming machine is configured in this manner, similarly, it can be detected that no right is generated when the opening of the specific winning opening is completed,
The next fluctuation display can be performed promptly. The specific winning opening may be configured such that the pachinko ball reliably reaches the special device operation area when the pachinko ball wins the condition number or more, or the special device operation area even if it wins the condition number or more. May not be reached.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, wherein a determination is made for selectively displaying any one of a plurality of determination symbols consisting of a hit symbol and a missing symbol. A symbol display device, a determination symbol operation region set in a part of the specific winning opening, and the determination symbol display device when the pachinko ball winning during the opening of the specific winning opening reaches the determination symbol operating region. A determination symbol variation means for variably displaying a symbol, a determination symbol stop means for canceling the symbol variation display of the determination symbol display device by the determination symbol variation means and stopping and displaying the symbol on the determination symbol display device; When the symbol stopped and displayed by the determination symbol stop means is a hit symbol, a symbol determination means for moving the pachinko ball winning the specific winning opening toward a special device operation area, Occurrence determination means, the determination symbol stop means may be constructed as a fourth determining means for determining that the rights are not likely to occur if a symbol disconnected symbol was displayed stopped.

In a pachinko gaming machine equipped with a judgment symbol display device, when a pachinko ball that has won a specific winning opening reaches the judgment symbol operation region, the pachinko ball is displayed in the judgment symbol operation region until the symbol is stopped and displayed on the judgment symbol display device. The pachinko ball is held, and if the symbol stopped and displayed on the determination symbol display device is a hit symbol, the pachinko ball is moved toward the special device operation area, and if the symbol is a lost symbol, the pachinko ball is guided to the hole. For this reason, the pachinko ball does not reach the special device operation area unless the symbol stopped and displayed on the judgment symbol display device is a hit symbol. Therefore, when the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is configured as described above, it can be detected that the right is not generated at the time when the shifted symbol is stopped and displayed on the judgment symbol display device, and the next symbol can be promptly detected. Can be displayed. Further, in the case of a pachinko gaming machine provided with a judgment symbol display device, it is also possible to determine whether or not the right is generated by detecting whether the pachinko ball has reached the judgment symbol operation area.

One pachinko gaming machine may be provided with a combination of a plurality of types of right occurrence determining means. For example, the right occurrence determining means described in claim 2 can be combined with any right occurrence determining means described in claims 3 to 5. Further, if the pachinko gaming machine is configured such that the judgment symbol display device is operated when the number of pachinko balls won during one opening is equal to or more than the condition number, the third judgment means according to claim 4. And the fourth determining means described in claim 5 can be combined, and the first determining means described in claim 2 can also be combined. As described above, if a plurality of types of right occurrence determination means are provided in combination, it is possible to grasp in more detail that there is no possibility of the right being generated, and the effect of the present invention becomes more remarkable.

Some pachinko gaming machines equipped with a judgment symbol display device display a symbol on the judgment symbol display device when the pachinko ball reaches the special device operation area. In such a pachinko gaming machine, the right is not generated only when the pachinko ball reaches the special device operation area, and after the pachinko ball reaches the special device operation area, the symbol hits the judgment symbol display device and the symbol is stopped and displayed. And rights arise. For this reason, the pachinko gaming machine differs from the above-mentioned pachinko gaming machine in the criterion for determining the possibility of the right being generated. Therefore, a pachinko gaming machine according to a second aspect of the present invention provides a normal symbol for selectively displaying any one of a plurality of normal symbols consisting of a hit symbol and a missing symbol, as described in claim 6. A display device, a symbol changing means for changing and displaying a symbol on the ordinary symbol display device when the pachinko ball wins the starting port or passes through the starting gate, and a symbol of the ordinary symbol display device by the symbol changing device. A symbol stop means for canceling the fluctuation display and stopping and displaying the symbol on the ordinary symbol display device, and the symbol fluctuation for a preset fluctuation prohibition time when the symbol stopped and displayed by the symbol stop means is a hit symbol. A change inhibiting means for inhibiting the operation of the means, a specific winning opening which is opened for a preset opening time when the symbol stopped and displayed by the symbol stopping means is a hit symbol, A determination symbol display device for selectively displaying any one of a plurality of determination symbols consisting of a missing symbol, a special device operation area set in a part of the specific winning opening, and a pachinko ball. A determination symbol changing means for variably displaying a symbol on the determination symbol display device when the special device operation area is reached; A determination symbol stop means for stopping and displaying a symbol on the display device, and a right generation for generating a right to shift to a game state advantageous to the player when the symbol stopped and displayed by the determination symbol stop means is a hit symbol. Means, a third-type starting port provided separately from the starting port and the specific winning opening, and when a pachinko ball wins the third-type starting port with the right being generated. In a pachinko gaming machine having a special winning opening to be played, a state of winning a pachinko ball to the specific winning opening during the opening of the specific winning opening or a device operated by a pachinko ball winning in the specific winning opening. Right generation determining means for determining whether or not the right is likely to be generated based on the operation status; and the change prohibiting means when the right generation determining means determines that the right is not likely to be generated. And a change permitting means for permitting the operation of the symbol changing means by releasing the prohibition of the symbol changing means.

In the pachinko gaming machine according to the second invention,
Normally, the symbol hits the symbol display device, the symbol is stopped and the specific winning opening is opened, and when the pachinko ball reaches the special device operation area, the judgment symbol variation means causes the symbol symbol display device to variably display the symbol, and thereafter, the judgment symbol The stopping means stops and displays the symbol. Then, when the symbol stopped and displayed is a hit symbol, the right generation means generates a right. But,
If a situation arises in which no right can be generated even though the specific winning opening is opened, and the right generation determining means detects that, the change permitting means permits the operation of the symbol changing means. Therefore, similarly to the pachinko gaming machine described in claim 1, it is possible to reduce the discomfort given to the player when the right is not generated, and to prevent a decrease in the willingness to play the game.

More specifically, as described in claim 7, the right occurrence determining means includes a winning detection means for detecting that a pachinko ball has won the specific winning opening, and the right winning opening is provided. In the case where the prize detecting means does not detect the winning of the pachinko ball during the opening of the game, the fifth means may be configured to determine that there is no possibility that the right is generated. As described, the right generation determining means includes a sixth determining means for determining that there is no possibility that the right is generated when the symbol stopped and displayed by the determination symbol stopping means is a lost symbol. It may be configured.

The prize detecting means, the stop detecting means and the prize counting means may detect the presence of the pachinko sphere by utilizing the mass, kinetic energy, etc. of the pachinko sphere, Detection may be performed using characteristics.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 of this embodiment is a pachinko gaming machine with a third-type starting port. As shown in FIG. 1, a normal symbol display device 10 and a normal symbol starting port 2 are provided in a game area 3.
0, a specific winning port 30, a third type starting port 50, and a special winning port 60. The ordinary symbol display device 10 is a known device using a liquid crystal display. Then, the specific winning opening 30 is, as shown in FIG.
Stop device 33, distribution member 35, special device operation area 3
7, a hole 39, and a partition wall 41. The stopping device 33 is formed in a gutter shape, and usually has a pachinko ball 5.
Is projected from the game board surface so that the pachinko ball 5 can be stopped, but when the specific winning port actuator 30a described later is operated and immersed in the game board surface, the stop of the pachinko ball 5 is released. The distribution member 35 and the partition wall 41 are for changing the traveling direction of the pachinko ball 5 similarly to the game nail. Then, when the pachinko ball 5 wins while the electric tulip 31 is open, the pachinko ball 5 is stopped in the central stopping device 33 or passes through the outside of the partition wall 41 and enters the release hole 39. However, the stopping device 3
3 can stop only one pachinko ball 5, so if one pachinko ball 5 stops, all the pachinko balls 5 won thereafter pass through the outside of the partition wall 41 and the hole 3
Enter 9. When the stopping device 33 is immersed in the game board surface while the pachinko ball 5 is parked, the pachinko ball 5
Falls from the place and collides with the distribution member 35. Then, the pachinko ball 5 is sorted left or right, and reaches the special device operation area 37 or the escape hole 39.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 also has a
As shown in the figure, the normal symbol starting port sensor 20s for detecting that the pachinko ball 5 has won the normal symbol starting port 20
A specific winning opening sensor 30s for detecting that the pachinko ball 5 has won the specific winning opening 30;

A third type opening sensor 50s for detecting that the pachinko ball 5 has won the prize 50
A special winning opening sensor 60 s for detecting that the pachinko ball 5 has won the large winning opening 60, a microcomputer 70, a specific winning opening actuator 30 a that opens and closes the electric tulip 31, and shows / hides the stopping device 33. ,
Special winning opening actuator 60 for opening and closing the special winning opening 60
a. The microcomputer 70 includes a CPU 71 that performs various arithmetic control processes, a ROM 73 that stores the processing procedure of the CPU 71 and information of the symbols displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 10, and a RAM 75 that temporarily stores the processing results and the like of the CPU 71. And the sensors 20s, 30s, 33
CPU, s, 37s, 50s and 60s
Input interface 77 for supplying to the
An output interface 79 for supplying the processing result of U71 to the ordinary symbol display device 10, the specific winning opening actuator 30a and the special winning opening actuator 60a. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment also has a general winning opening and the like similarly to the conventional pachinko gaming machine, but the description is omitted.

Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described. First, when power is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 from a power supply device (not shown), the CPU 71 performs an initial setting process and the like, and then performs a normal symbol starting port sensor 20s.
Wait for input from. Then, when the player starts the game and the pachinko ball 5 wins the ordinary symbol starting port 20, and the normal symbol starting port sensor 20s detects the winning of the pachinko ball 5, the CPU 71 executes the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. Start. The number of times the pachinko ball 5 has won the ordinary symbol starting port 20 while the following processing is being performed is stored up to a maximum of four times by a well-known winning storage device.

When this process is started, the CPU 71
For a few seconds, the symbol is variably displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 10 (S10), and then stopped (S20). The symbol to be stopped and displayed is usually determined by the detection timing or the like by the normal symbol starting port sensor 20s.
In addition, the time when the symbol is stopped and displayed is after 5 seconds or more have elapsed since the winning of the pachinko ball 5 which caused the variable display. If the symbol stopped and displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 10 is a lost symbol ("NO" in S30), the process ends.

On the other hand, when the symbol stopped and displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 10 is a hit symbol ("YES" in S30), a command is issued to the specific winning opening actuator 30a to open the electric tulip 31 for 6 seconds. (S
40). Then, the pachinko ball 5 wins while the electric tulip 31 is open, the specific winning opening sensor 30s detects the winning of the pachinko ball 5, and the stop device sensor 33
If s detects the pachinko ball 5 is stopped (S50,
In S60, “YES”), two seconds after the opening of the electric tulip 31, the CPU 71 issues a command to the specific winning opening actuator 30a to release the stopping by the stopping device 33 and drop the pachinko ball 5 (S7).
0). Then, it waits for 2 seconds (S80). This waiting time can be set arbitrarily, but in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the pachinko ball 5 is moved to the special device operation area 37.
Is set to 2 seconds as a time that can be reached with a margin. When the fallen pachinko ball 5 reaches the special device operation area 37 and the special device operation area sensor 37s detects that fact ("YES" in S90), the CPU 71 sets a game state advantageous to the player. Generate the right to transition to Specifically, the storage contents of the right status storage area of the RAM 75 are updated from 0 to 1 (S100). Then, the process ends.
However, if the pachinko ball 5 does not reach the special device operation area 37 within 2 seconds after the stopping of the stopping device 33 (“NO” in S90), the process ends without generating a right. .

On the other hand, when the special winning opening sensor 30s does not detect the winning of the pachinko ball 5, ie, when the specific winning opening 30
If no pachinko ball 5 is won in (S5
If “0” is “NO”), the process ends. Also, even when the specific winning opening sensor 30s detects the winning of the pachinko ball 5 ("YES" in S50), when the stopping device sensor 33s does not detect the stopping of the pachinko ball 5, that is, the specific winning opening. In the case where the pachinko ball 5 having won the prize 30 does not stop on the stopping device ("N" in S60).
O "), and the process ends similarly.

At the time when the above processing is completed, if the above-mentioned winning storage device stores a winning, the CP
U71 performs the processing from S10 and decreases the winning number stored in the winning storage device by one. Further, in a state where the right is generated, specifically, in a state where the storage content of the right state storage area of the RAM 75 is 1, the pachinko ball 5 wins the third type starting port 50 and the third type starting port sensor When detected by 50s, the CPU 71 issues a command to the special winning opening actuator 60a to open the special winning opening 60, and when ten pachinko balls 5 win, or 1
After 0 seconds, the vessel is closed. After the opening of the special winning opening 60 is completed, the pachinko ball 5 is again inserted into the third type starting opening 50.
Wins and is detected by the third-type starting port sensor 50s, the CPU 71 issues a command to the special winning opening actuator 60a to open the special winning opening 60 again. And
The opening operation of the special winning opening 60 based on the winning in the third type starting opening 50 is performed up to 16 times. However, if the right is punctured, the process ends even if the number is less than 16 times. Since the opening and closing operation of the special winning opening 60 is generally well known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Next, specific game contents when the player actually plays a game with the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described by way of an example. First, when the player starts the game and the pachinko ball 5 wins the regular symbol starting port 20,
The symbol is fluctuated and displayed for several seconds on the ordinary symbol display device 10 by the CPU 71 (S10), and then stopped and displayed. Then, when the lost symbol is stopped and displayed ("NO" in S30), the process ends. Conversely, when the hit symbol is stopped and displayed ("YES" in S30), the electric tulip 31 is opened for 6 seconds (S40). Then, when the pachinko ball 5 wins during the opening, and the pachinko ball 5 further stops at the stopping device 33 ("YE" in S50 and S60).
S "), the parking is released two seconds after the opening is completed, and the pachinko ball 5 falls. When the pachinko ball 5 reaches the special device operation area 37 ("YE" in S90).
S "), the right is generated, and the process ends. Conversely, when the pachinko ball 5 reaches the hole 39 ("NO" in S90), the process ends without generating a right.

On the other hand, if no pachinko balls 5 have won a prize while the electric tulip 31 is open, or if the pachinko balls 5 that have won the electric tulip 31 do not stop on the stopping device 33 ( ("NO" in S50 or S60), the process ends. That is, the process ends immediately after the opening of the electric tulip 31 ends. Then, at this time, if a winning is stored in the above-mentioned winning storage device, the process of S10, that is, the symbol variation display is immediately performed.

Next, the effects of the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, when the specific winning port 30 (the electric tulip 31) is opened but there is no winning in the specific winning port 30 or the winning pachinko ball 5 stays in the retaining device 33. If not, it is detected that the right cannot be generated when the opening of the electric tulip 31 is completed, and the processing is terminated without performing the stop release processing (S70) or the 2-second standby processing (S80). By doing so, the next variable display can be quickly performed. For this reason, the player does not wait for the next variable display to be performed while staring at the winning symbol. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an effect that it is possible to reduce the discomfort given to the player when the right is not generated, and to prevent a decrease in the willingness to play.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the normal symbol starting port 20 corresponds to the starting port, the specific winning opening sensor 30s corresponds to the winning detecting means, the stopping device sensor 33s corresponds to the stopping detecting means, and the CPU 71 performs the operation. In the processing, after “YES” is determined in S30, “N” is determined in S90.
Until it is determined to be "O" or until the right is generated in S100, the processing is not generally terminated for about 10 seconds, that is, the next fluctuation display is not performed for about 10 seconds after the hit symbol is stopped and displayed in principle. Corresponds to the process of the change prohibition unit, the process of S10 corresponds to the process of the symbol change unit, the process of S20 corresponds to the process of the symbol stop unit, and the processes of S50 and S60 correspond to the right generation determination unit ( S50 corresponds to the processing of the first determining means, S60 corresponds to the processing of the second determining means), and the processing in the case where "NO" is determined in S50 and S60 corresponds to the processing of the fluctuation permitting means.
The processing of 00 corresponds to the processing of the right generation means.

As described above, one embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment at all, and can be implemented in various forms other than the above-described embodiment. For example, in the pachinko gaming machine of the above embodiment, since the distribution member 35 is provided, even if the pachinko ball 5 is parked in the parking device 33, it may not reach the special device operation area 37. The pachinko ball 5 retained in the retaining device 33 may surely reach the special device operation area 37 without providing the appropriate distribution member 35. In addition,
In such a configuration, if the pachinko ball 5 stops during the generation of the right, the right is surely punctured within a few seconds. Therefore, if the pachinko ball 5 is detected to be stopped while the right is being generated, the next change display may be started immediately. In such a configuration, after the right is punctured, the next variable display can be performed promptly, and the stop display can be performed at an early stage, so that the right is not given to the player when the right is punctured. Pleasure can also be reduced, and a decrease in game motivation can be prevented.

In addition, the special winning opening 30 described in the above embodiment.
Instead of the above, a specific winning port configured to move the pachinko balls 5 toward the special device operation area when a predetermined number or more of the pachinko balls 5 win while opening may be applied. The specific winning opening may be configured to definitely reach the special device operation area when a predetermined number or more of the pachinko balls 5 have won, or may not reach as in the above-described embodiment. There may be. If the pachinko ball 5 is won more than a predetermined number during the generation of the right, the right will surely be punctured in a few seconds if the configuration is such that the right is reached. Therefore, when a winning of a predetermined number or more of the pachinko balls 5 is detected while the right is generated, the next variable display may be started immediately. Further, in a pachinko gaming machine provided with a judgment symbol display device, the right is generated when the symbol hits the judgment symbol display device and is stopped and displayed,
The same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained by configuring the normal symbol display device 10 to immediately start the next variable display when the shifted symbol is stopped and displayed on the judgment symbol display device. In addition, if the symbol hits the judgment symbol display device and the symbol is stopped and displayed during the generation of the right, the right will surely be punctured after a few seconds. The next variable display of the symbol display device 10 may be configured to start.

In the above embodiment, if the symbol is displayed while the right is being generated, the symbol is stopped and displayed as late as possible, and the right is displayed while the symbol is being displayed. In the case of disappearance (one of the big winning opening 60
When the sixth opening is completed or when the right is punctured), the stop display may be performed immediately. When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured in this manner, the right puncture can be delayed as much as possible,
Immediately after the right has been punctured, the next floating display can be started. However, when the right is punctured, the grand prize mouth 60
Is open, the symbol is stopped and displayed after the opening of the special winning opening 60 is completed. In addition, in the case of such a configuration, if the opening of the special winning opening 60 is the 16th opening, there is no effect even if the right is punctured. The change display of the symbol can be started at the appropriate time.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the opening of the specific winning opening 30 is completed, the ordinary symbol display device 10
Is displayed in a fluctuating pattern, and the pachinko ball 5 is placed in the specific winning opening 30.
In the case where no prize has been won or the pachinko ball 5 has not stopped in the stopping device 33, the symbol may be stopped and displayed immediately after the processing is completed. When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured as described above, the waiting time until the next variable display is started is very short, so that the discomfort given to the player when the right is not generated is further increased. This can reduce the willingness to play the game. Further, when a right is generated, it is further preferable that the symbols are stopped and displayed at a time as late as possible.
In such a configuration, even if the symbol to be stopped and displayed next is a hit symbol, there is a sufficient time until the symbol is displayed. Puncture can be prevented.

However, according to the current rules, the symbol cannot be stopped and displayed until five seconds have passed since the pachinko ball 5 normally entered the symbol starting port 20, and the symbol change display time is not changed. Since the time must not exceed 30 seconds, an earlier time and a later time are set as long as these conditions are satisfied. If the rules are changed, they can be changed accordingly.
