[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a pachinko game machine, and particularly to a pachinko game machine with improved vertical movement control of a variable winning ball device! Xl.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, pachinko gaming machines that use pachinko balls to play games have become widespread and are popular among players as a convenient form of leisure. As is well known, pachinko games have multiple safe holes and winning ball devices (Yakumono, Yakumono, etc.) on the game board.
When a player hits a pachinko ball, a certain number of prizes will be released if the player hits a pachinko ball with a certain probability of landing in a safe hole or yakumono. I, do conventional pachinko machines have a specific safe hole where the balls are located for the purpose of providing a service to the player? Or, if you won a prize in the winning area, you would make a predetermined number of Yakumono, or you would make a certain Yakumono in a short period of time.

For this reason, conventionally, even if prizes are awarded depending on the gaming state, a predetermined number of prizes are only created based on the number of people who hit a specific winning area, so players can If you want to win a large amount of prizes by playing until the machine stops, you need excellent gaming skills and the patience to play the game over and over again. For this reason, it is often the players who play pachinko who are known as "bachi players" who win a large amount of prizes on a single pachinko game machine. However, there is a desire for gaming halls to provide many players with the opportunity to win a large amount of prizes.

Therefore, in order to meet the above-mentioned demands, the applicant of the present application previously proposed a new pachinko game machine in Japanese Patent Application No. 181018/1983. The previously proposed pachinko game machine puts a variable winning ball device such as a Yakumono in a state where it is easy to win for a certain period of time based on a specific gaming state, and then repeatedly enters a special prize area where conditions are set to allow variable winning balls** to be released. In response to the occurrence of passing balls, the variable winning ball device is closed after a certain period of vIII and then opened again.

However, in the previously proposed pachinko game machine, after entering a specific gaming state, winnings in special prize areas with conditions that allow variable winning ball devices to be repeatedly opened are performed in the same way as regular winnings. are collected for use in discharging the top. For this reason, if the player closes the
II.Even if it is determined that the conditions have been reached for the device to be released repeatedly, the device may not be released.

Such a situation not only makes the player feel distrustful, but also causes trouble between the player and the staff at the gaming parlor. Therefore, if the conditions are such that the variable winning ball device can be repeatedly opened, it is desirable to notify the player of the situation.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it easier to win a prize during a period of a predetermined state of the variable winning ball device based on a specific gaming state, and to repeat the process when at least one ball enters the special prize area during that period. In the variable winning ball device that makes it easier to win, it is possible to recognize winnings in the special prize area,
To provide a pachinko game machine which can prevent a game 1 from feeling distrustful and can prevent problems between a game parlor staff and a player.

To summarize, this invention puts the variable winning ball device in a state where it is easy to win based on a specific gaming state, continues the period (for a certain period of time or a certain state such as a certain number of opening/closing times, etc.), and during that period, the special prize 1111! When there is a winning prize, the variable winning ball device is made easy to win again after a certain state has passed, and the player is notified of the winning prize in a special prize area so that he or she can recognize it.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, specific operations when playing the "Pachin" game ll11o of this practical example will be explained. The player hits the ball borrowed from the ball rental machine with the ball hitting the ball with a hammer 13.
, rotate the batting ball handle 14 and set the batting strength to l1.
After hitting g5, the ball hitting switch 14S is pressed. 7] In response to the press of the ball switch 14s, power is supplied to the drive 241. In response, the motor 241 rotates and rotates the ball hitting hammer 242 intermittently, thereby hitting balls one by one. When the player is playing the ball hitting game in this way, the ball hits the safe hole 2a-1, 2c.
Also, when any of G, LXIrit) 4a, and 4b wins a prize, the prize release mechanism is activated to release a predetermined number of kanshin balls for each of the 11 hooks won.

On the other hand, when the hit ball lands in any of the winning prizes WA 3a to 3c, the corresponding detection switch 228.22b derives a high level and gives it to the drive circuit 621 via the or games 1 to 611, and also give to Further, the output of the OR gate 611 causes the Noritsu FronPro 31 included in the display drive circuit 63 to be activated. In response, the drive circuit 621 energizes the solenoids 578 to 57c to release the stopped state of the pawls 582 of the locking levers 58a to 58c and the corresponding latch gears b2a to 52C, and rotates the motor 56. By driving the rotating drums 51a to 5tC4 in each row, the display state of the rotating drums is varied.

At the same time, the output of the flip-flop 631 is given as one input of the AND gate 632. The output clock pulse of the clock oscillator 633 is always applied to the AND gate 632 as the other input. Therefore, the AND gate 632 flips the Flip Flora 7631
A clock pulse is derived according to the cent output of the ring counters 6, . 34Il! -3 gain. ring counter 6

The numbers displayed on the segment display 50B are sequentially changed by &J in synchronization with the cycle of the clock pulse based on one count of the clock pulses. In this way, the rotating drum 5'1a is driven to rotate and the segment display bOB is variably displayed, so that the mechanical p'' variable display and the electrical variable display are simultaneously displayed. () to be called.

As described in 65J, while the rotating drums 51a to 51G and the display unit 50B are variably displaying C, the player can select the rotating drums 51a to 5I in each row.
The stop command switch 17 is pressed so that the combination of display states C becomes a specific gaming state. Furthermore, the stop command switch 17 is pressed within a certain period of time set by the timer 622 after starting the 6J odd display. If not suppressed, the output of the timer 622 issues a stop command. In response, the drive circuit 621 predetermines the solenoids 57a to 57c.
The rotating drum 51 is deenergized in order (or irregular order).
To a, 51CfM shall be stopped. And the drive circuit 62
1 stops the rotation of the motor 56 after a short delay and derives a high level signal indicating that all rotating drums have stopped.

This high level signal resets the flip flora V631 and is given to the binding display state determination circuit 643 for determination command No. 15. According to [, and gate 63
2 stops the derivation of clock pulses. For this reason, the ring counter is not incremented by the number 4 of 61, and therefore the number corresponding to the count value already counted by the ring counter 634 is continuously displayed on the segment display 50B.

The display state determination circuit 643 determines the combination of fiber 9j information displayed on the rotating drums of each row based on the outputs provided from the sensors 641 and 642 in response to the determination command signal. By the way, as the sensors 64'1 and 642, for example, a photoelectric sensor having a light projecting part and a light receiving part of 1=J is used. The light emitting part and the light receiving part of each sensor 641 and 642 are installed facing each other on the axially outer side of the rotating drums of all rows. Although not shown in FIG. 5, each l1l016 of the rotating drums 51a to 510 has an angle corresponding to the identification information displayed on each rotating drum and a radius angle. On the circumference of 1 and the 2nd
A portion with a through hole and a portion without a through hole are provided in the pupil on the circumference of the pupil. As a result, it becomes possible to identify the identification information of the four gods by combining the parts with and without holes. If we take the logic [11] and the part without the through hole as the logic rOJ, we get [class 1 2-bit] -dro
O.J.

! O"+,',"J 104. r 11
J allows the combination of identification information of the rotating drums in each row to be detected. Then, the display state determination circuit 6
43 determines a score based on the combination of identification information displayed on the rotating drums 518 to 51c, and provides the score to the drive control circuit 70 and the determination circuit 645.

If the combination of identification information displayed on the rotating drums 51a to 510 is a combination of a specific gaming state, that is, a combination determined to give the maximum value (for example, all A symbols), ↓, 1. -6 indicating state judgment time Judgment signal J2 indicating that ttir* smaller than the maximum value should be given based on the adjustment of the state judgment circuit 643

-10 seconds, t 3-6 seconds, and t 4-4 seconds. Note that if the determination signal is other than j1 (ie, J2 to J4), the determination circuit 645μ does not determine the display state of the segment display 1150B.

For example, assuming that the display state determination circuit 643 derives the determination (m2j2), the timer 72 derives a high level signal for a certain period of time 111t2. Accordingly, the driver 75 is given a time t2 of 1'70E.

At this time, it is opened and the ball is allowed to win.

However, even if a ball enters the special prize # area 43a, the opening operation of the eccentric award ball eclipse*40 is not extended and a predetermined number of prize balls are released for each winning ball. only.

Next, a case will be described in which the combinations of activity-based information displayed on the rotating drums 51a to 51C in each row are arranged to have the maximum value. In this case, the display state determination circuit 643 derives the determination signal J1 and sends it to the ``C determination circuit 645'', and also provides it as a manual setting signal for the control knob 761.

The set output of the knob 761 is given to the timer 763 via the OR gate 762. In response, the Quimuff 63 starts a timekeeping operation for a certain period of time t1, and in the dark, derives a high level signal and provides it to the driver 75 via the OR gate 71.

The output of 763 is also applied to AND gate 771. However, the other hand of the 7nd gate 771 cannot be given a halbel from the output Q of Noriso/Norotsu/764. Therefore, the nodes 7-1 and 77'1 are disabled and remain as they are. However) (, &1! Meisei Nruchi 77

, that is, a signal indicating that the r-distance between the lunge v476 and the short side of the rotating lever 411 is greater than or equal to the upper diameter of 1- is given to the driver 77b.

Accordingly, the fiber 775 is included in the solenoid 475. Therefore, the plunger 476 is moved to a state where it does not store any special prize balls. Or save special prize balls.
If the plunger 476 is in a position where it cannot be moved, the plunger 476 does not move even if the plunger 4'15b is energized. by this,
In cases other than specific game form g, even if the ball is in the special prize area 43a
Even if the player wins a prize, the ball falls downward while rotating the rotating lever 471. In this case, the special prize ball detection switch 44 detects the special prize ball and the flip-flop pro 51
is set, the AND gate 652 remains disabled by the output Q (low level) of the 7-lip 70-tub 764. Therefore, the AND gate 652 included in the repeated opening condition detection circuit 65 does not derive the repeated opening command signal. Then, when the timer 763 measures darkness t1 for a certain period of time, its output is set to a low level, so that the opening/closing plate 41 is closed.

Next, when a specific game state is reached, which is a feature of this invention, the combination of display states of the rotating drums 51a to 51C becomes a predetermined state S (all display states with the symbol A) that can give the maximum value. When the display state of the segment display 50B reaches a state where 7 is displayed, the following operation is performed.

In other words, the determination circuit 645 determines whether the specific gaming state is established L/
A high level signal representing j is derived and applied to AND gate 646. These days, Antogame-i-646 is
Since the low level of the output of the predetermined value imparting state detection circuit 66 is inverted to a high level and provided, a high level determination signal JO is derived. This determination signal jO causes flip 70 knob 764 to be set. flip norotubu 7
The output Q of 64 is given to seventh gates 652 and 771. The AND gate 771 derives a high level in response to the presence of the output of the timer 763 and the presence of the output Q of the flip 70 tube 764, and supplies it to the monostable multi 772. Monostable multi 772 provides a signal to driver 775 to energize coil 475a. driver 775
energizes the coil 475a in response to the presence of the output of the monostable multi 772. Therefore, the plunger 476 moves toward the rotating lever 471, and the gap between the rotating lever 471 and its tip is made smaller than the diameter of one ball.

In the above-mentioned state, when a hit ball enters the special prize area 43a, the special prize detection switch 44 detects this and sets the flip-flop 651.

After the special prize ball is detected by the special prize ball detection switch 44, the special prize ball is rotated along the upper surface of the rotary lever 471 and moved to the synchronized lever 4.
Rotate 71. At this time, since the distance between the tip of the short side of the rotating lever 471 and the tip of the plunger 476 is smaller than the diameter of the ball, the special prize balls are stored on the back surface of the display window 6. Balls that enter the special prize area 43a after that are
The special prize ball is detected by the special prize detection switch 44 and falls downward through the path 465. This ball is used in the same way as the normal winning ball to release the prize.

If at least one ball enters the special prize fli castle 43a before the timer 763 times up, the retractable prize ball device 140 is repeatedly driven to open as described below. That is, when the timer 763 times up, the driver 75 de-energizes the solenoid 451. Therefore, the opening/closing plate 41 is temporarily closed. At the same time, a differentiating circuit 765 differentiates the time-up output and applies the differentiated pulse to a monostable circuit 766. monostable multi 766
derives the tM darkness high level - (7nd gate 652
B and delay circuit 767. The AND gate 652 has the output of the Noritsubu flop 651 (that is, that there are at least 1iil special prize balls during the opening period of the variable winning ball device 40), and the output Q of the flip-flop 764 (that is, that there are (must be in gaming state)
, as well as the output of the monostable multi 766 to derive a high level. The output of the AND gate 652 is applied to a monostable multi 774 via a 47 gate 773. Therefore, the monostable multi 774 is
75 to energize the coil 475b. Accordingly, the plunge v476 is moved so that it cannot store the special prize balls. As a result, the special prize stored in 1IliI of the display window 6 is dropped, and the rotating lever 471 is returned to its original position.

After that, the output of the AND gate 652 is sent to the delay circuit 768.
C is given to the timer 763 via the O7 games 1 to 762, and the timer 763 opens the variable winning ball device 40 again for a certain period of time. Also, after a certain time delay from the output of the monostable flip 766, the delay circuit 767
0 knob 651 is reset.

Thereafter, in the same way, after the specific game state, as long as there is a chance of winning in the special prize area 43a, the variable winning ball device 40 can be driven to open repeatedly for a certain period of time [1].

Incidentally, when the variable winning ball device 40 is repeatedly driven to open and open, if the ball does not enter the special prize @ area 43a at least 1i&l, the flip-flop 6ri1 remains reset. In this case, ANDKs 1 to 768 derive a high level signal according to the output of the monostable multi 766, and the signal is passed through the OR gate 769 to the flip-flop 76.
Reset 4. As a result, the repeated opening and driving operation of the variable winning ball device 40 is thereafter terminated.

Further, after the specific game form S, each time the variable winning ball pupil is repeatedly driven to open, if the ball repeatedly enters the special prize area 43a, the repeated opening operation of the variable winning ball device 40 is continued. However, when the predetermined value imparting state detection circuit 66 detects that a relatively large number of prize balls have been paid out, the detection output of [] resets the flip-flop 764 via the OR gate 769. As a result, the repeated opening/closing operation of the pJ eccentric award ball device 40 ends.

Furthermore, as another embodiment of the drive circuit 70,

By the way, the above-mentioned embodiments of FIGS. 6 and W47 (') show a case in which a hardware circuit is used to achieve the operation of the present invention, but the technical concept of the present invention can be realized by using a microprocessor. This can also be done by program processing.In that case, a person skilled in the art can easily think of setting a program to perform the operations of the circuits shown in FIG. W46 and FIG. 7, so a detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

As described above, according to the present invention, in a pachinko game machine that can generate a large number of winnings with a relatively high probability based on a specific gaming state, the game machine uses the eccentric prize ball device to win prizes for a certain period of time. If the repeating condition is satisfied during a certain period of time, the variable winning ball device is repeatedly put in a state where it is easy to win, so the variable winning ball device is made into a state where it is easy to win many times. This has the effect that the player can play the game in a state in which it is easy to win a prize for a relatively long time, and can enjoy a sense of exhilaration for a long time. In addition, if the conditions for repeatedly winning a special prize area occur in a specific gaming state, will this be communicated to the player? [Since we notify players that it is possible, players can repeatedly check the opening conditions without feeling distrustful, and we also have special features such as preventing problems between players and staff.] The effect is produced.
