Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention provides that when a special game in which a ball hit by a player achieves the first condition in the game section is started, and this separate game achieves the specific condition, the special game is played for -m time. This relates to a pachinko gaming method in which the special game is continued for a certain period of time, and when special conditions are achieved during the special game within a certain period of time, the special game is repeated for a certain period of time after the special game ends for a certain period of time. The special game can be stopped at the total number of winning balls to the special variable winning device cumulatively counted from time to time, and the number of winnings to the special variable winning device when specific conditions are achieved can be appropriately set.

As is well known, the Pachin: I game starts when the player hits a ball, and the ball forms on the surface of the game board, hits the obstacle nails in the game part, and flows down, hitting the winning slot on the way. When the ball enters, it becomes safe and a certain number of prize balls are ejected to the player, and if the ball does not enter any winning hole, it is guided to the out hole at the lower end of the game. In such a pachinko game, if the winning rate or winning rate is poor, the player will be at a disadvantage and will lose interest in the game. On the other hand, if the winning rate is high, it is not only disadvantageous for the pachinko game parlor, but it is also undesirable because it arouses the gambling spirit of the players, which in turn leads to gambling.

Therefore, in the present invention, a first condition that is difficult to achieve is set in the game section, and when a ball hit by a player happens to meet the first condition, a separate game is started on the display section, etc. If the fc is stopped by an external operation by a person or automatically, and a specific condition is achieved, the player is forced to play a special game for a certain period of time. If the special condition is achieved by hitting the ball during the first special game, the second special game will continue for a certain period of time after the first special game ends, and by hitting the ball during the second special game, the second special game will continue for a certain period of time. When the special condition is achieved, the third special game is started after the second fs special game ends, so that the occurrence of the special game is suppressed as much as possible, but once it occurs, it provides a large profit to the player. This is to maintain a balance between decreasing and increasing the winning rate. Furthermore, according to the present invention, when a special condition is achieved by hitting a ball during a special game,
After the special game ends, a new special game continues for a certain period of time, so if the special winter crop is achieved during the special game, the special game will be repeated in the @ limit, so the special variable input will be set at 24. By setting the total number of winning balls to -♀ and stopping the special game even if the special conditions are completed when the set number of balls have won, it is possible to prevent iIP players from becoming gambling. It's because I did it.

A practical example of the above pachinko gaming method according to the present invention is as follows.

In Figure 1, a pachinko machine i/ has a ball supply tray a on its surface, and a player puts a ball into the supply tray and moves it to the sweeping part 3.
When the button is operated, the sheath gun is activated, so the balls placed in the supply tray are fired one after another. The shot ball hits the guide rail! It is guided above the game section 7 on the game board B, and flows down while hitting the game section 7 against the obstacle nail. When the ball enters the winning hole J while it is flowing down, it is safe and the winning mechanism (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board 6 is activated and a certain number of prize balls are delivered to the surface of the supply plate or the pachinko machine l. It is discharged into a saucer 2' provided below. However, if the ball flowing down the gaming section does not enter any of the winning holes j, it will enter the outlobe provided at the lower end of the gaming section 7 and be confiscated.

In the game section described above, a first condition is set that is achieved by hitting a ball. According to the embodiment of the drawings, this 1111 condition is based on the left and right specific winning ports to
This is accomplished either by the ball hitting one of the players, or by the ball passing through the nine designated player award slots below the game club.

Since it is preferable that this first condition is not easily achieved, it is better to make it difficult for the batted ball to enter the special winning slots toa, 10b due to the obstacle nails, so that the batted ball can pass through the special winning slots 9 and 10 (J). The specific winning slots 10α, 10h and the specific winning slot 1061c are each provided with a switch mechanism, and when a batted ball enters or passes through, the switch mechanism is momentarily turned on and detects the achievement of the first condition.

When the hit ball happens to pass through one of the special prize openings and the first condition is achieved, another game is started by electrical means. According to the embodiment shown in the drawings, this separate game is played by rapidly changing the three variable indicators //L, //b, /μ.

Each of these variable indicators may be made mechanically by rotating a drum or disk at high speed displaying 10 numbers from / to θ''1, or by arranging 7 segments in a diagonal pattern. This may be done by electrically controlling the segment display to rapidly change the numbers from 1 to O.

In any case, when the ball hits the first condition, a separate game is started on the variable display, and this separate game continues for a predetermined period of time (for example, 7 seconds). If the player operates the stop switch l- on the surface of the pachinko machine within this predetermined time, each variable display Ha, //6. The high-speed change of too stops intermittently, and any number from 1 to Of is displayed in the -7- window. Also, if the player does not operate the stop switch 15 within a predetermined time during another acrobatics, after the end of the ff1M song, the high stiffness changes of each variable display /lα, //b, /10 will be made by electrical means. stops intermittently, resulting in the same state as when the player operates the stop switch /J. In this way, as a result of the separate game ending at L7, a special game will start if a specific condition is met, and it will bring a great profit to the 'M player. can bring about This specific condition is, for example, each Kaga display l/α, ub.

This is a case where all the numbers "7" are aligned in the window hole 6 and the machine stops, and in other cases, there is no specific condition.

This specific condition is determined by a determination circuit that determines the stopped state of each variable rock indicator.

When a specific condition is achieved by the special avoidance technique, a special game is started in the gaming section 7, which brings great profits to the player.

This special game is installed in the game section in the example shown in the drawing.
,, Special quality movement '11--t , 7 receives the batted ball, enters the ball, opens and opens 58-12668 (3) Changes to a state where it is easy to hit the ball, and this state is maintained for a certain period of time (for example, 30
This is done by continuing (seconds).

This special variable winning device/3 has a long opening/da,
Below the opening lII, at a distance from the culm on the left and right! are provided with guide pieces /jα, nb, and auxiliary guide pieces #cL are provided above and on the left and right sides of the opening /4'.

/l and b are provided.

The guide pieces /sa, nb mentioned above are connected to the electromagnets /'/(L, /rib provided on the back side of the game board 6. In other words, the tips of the rods /gα, trb of each electromagnet /7α, /7b The operating frame O is pivotally connected to the base end of the operating rod /1α, /96 and provided at the tip of the operating rod /ycL, /9b.
α, swivel rod λ/α whose base end is pivoted to ko oh, Jo
Binkoko α of b.

:Insert the rotary rod 3α and the support bin 3b provided at the tip of the rotating rod 3α and 21b as a game board! The guide pieces /6α, /Ah are attached to the protruding ends of the support bins Jα, Jα, 3b. I go to

In the demagnetized state of each electromagnet l α, / b, support bin: 13
α and 36 are located at one end of the arcuate holes 9 and 13, and the guide pieces 13α and trb are located apart from each other below the opening/4'. Therefore, most of the batted balls flowing down the game section cannot enter the opening IQ. However, when each electromagnet na, /76 is energized, the rod /JrcL
l/lb is aspirated and actuating rod 19α.

Since the rotation rod t/(L, -7b rotates due to the rotation of lb, each guide piece /j-cL, /!rb at the tip of the rotation rod λ/G, -lb has an arc shape. The guide pieces l!α, /3b are positioned at the lower edge of the opening /l (chains flA in FIGS. 2 and 3).
i). This state is a special game, and the ball that flows down the game section rests on the guide pieces lma, izb and hits the opening lt.
It rolls and becomes a safe ball. Therefore, each special game is
55b17α, υ starts when ttb is excited,
Further, the electromagnets 77G, /76 continue to be energized for only the time they are energized, and when the electromagnets /'IeL, /Ruru are demagnetized, they return to their original state due to the force of the spring or their own weight.

The auxiliary guide pieces tt, a, lt, and b are auxiliary electromagnets 2 provided on the back side of the game board in the same way as the guide pieces /za and trb. When the auxiliary electromagnets 3α and srb are demagnetized, each auxiliary guide piece / Both 6α and /6b are located above the opening /g, but the auxiliary prize magnet Ha, 2! When rb is excited, it is located at the side edge of each opening lt. This auxiliary guide piece /4α, /1
The effect of b will be described later.

As mentioned above, when a specific condition is achieved in a separate game, the electromagnet lα, /7b is energized, and each guide piece /,! This is a special game where the til & trb are positioned so that it is easy to receive the batted ball, but the batted balls flowing down the game section continuously enter the opening part/da and become safe balls. The opening llI has a continuation hole t into which it is difficult for a batted ball to enter, and a general winning hole 2q into which a batted ball can easily enter, and a ball that enters the opening /4 during a special game happens to enter the continuation loco t. Then, the ball flows down the special flow w430 and is detected by the special switch 31. When the special switch 3/ detects the ball in the channel 30, the second special game continues for a certain period of time after the special game ends for a certain period of time.

In other words, during the special game, the ball hits continuous low t and -//- the special condition is reached b! Then, the special switch 31 is turned on, so that the electromagnets /α and /b that were energized are demagnetized and then energized again, and the second special game is repeated for a certain period of time. If a ball enters the continuation slot 2g during the second special game, the third special game is immediately repeated even if the second special game ends. Therefore, the special game will be repeated many times if the special condition is achieved during a certain period of time. However, if the special condition is not achieved by the batted ball that enters the opening /4 (during the special game within a certain period of time), the special game ends when the special game ends.

In this way, if the ball hits the first condition in the gaming section, a separate game will occur, and if the specific condition is achieved in the separate game, a special game will occur that can bring significant profits to the player. If the special condition is achieved during a certain period of time, the special game will be repeated again after the special game ends. Therefore, as long as the special conditions are met, the special game will not be repeated as many times as possible.
2668 (4) [7] It may encourage a desire for speculation or become a gambling-like act in order to provide a large profit.

Therefore, in the present invention, the total number of winning balls in the special variable winning device/3, which is cumulatively counted from the start of the first special game, is kept constant (for example, 50 balls) in a V run, and regardless of the repetition of the special game, the special When a fixed number of batted balls win a prize in the variable prize winning device @13, the special game is ended. This special variable winning device/3
The total number of winning balls is determined by the value set by the counter circuit. In addition, in order to count the batted balls that won a prize in the special variable winning device/3, the special flow path 30 and the three general flow paths extended from the general winning locode are connected to the special switch 3.
The detector 33 facing downstream of the merging point detects and counts one piece. When the total number of winning balls to the special variable winning device/3 counted in this way reaches the number set by the counter circuit, lightning strikes.

The magnets 1 and 1 are no longer excited, and the special game stops. Therefore, according to the invention, the special game gives the player a large profit, but the profit is suppressed to a predetermined limit to prevent it from becoming a gambling-like act that arouses the desire for gambling. be.

The pachinko gaming method of the present invention will be explained below based on the pull diagram of FIG.

The batted ball flowing down the gaming section 7 is the specific winning opening IOA.

10b, or when the first condition is achieved by passing through the specific winning slot 100, the detector 10a facing each winning opening toa, iob or winning slot 106; iob', /
176'' is input from the OR game), 74+ to the register 3S, and the output from the flip-flop 34 (L,
, ub.

JA6 is set. As a result, the low level of the Q output of each flip-flop 34a, 34&, and J46 changes from high level to high level, and this high level signal is transmitted to one of the connected gates t3α, 3ris, and 30. Since it is given to human power, every time there is a signal from each oscillator 3ta, 3tb, 3ta, the decimal counter 39G, jdeb, 3dec
A check signal is input to. When receiving this check signal, each decimal counter 3fCL, 3deb, 3deO becomes l.
.

The outputs of ko, . //b, //c, given. Therefore, each variable display changes rapidly with the numbers from 1 to Ot being invisible. This state is a separate game, and this separate game continues for a certain period of time (for example, 7 seconds). If the player presses the stop switch I within a certain period of time for this separate game,
When - is operated, an input is input to the reset side of the flip-flop 366 via the OR gate 4!0. When human power is applied to the 7-lip flop block 346, the Q output becomes low level, so the AND input is connected to the Q output of
Gate 3 is closed and the decimal counter is opened.
It stops at the number it was playing just before the 3 Kuu closes, and the variable display/10 rewards that number and displays 1 on the circular node.
Wow.

On the other hand, as the output of the flip-flop J46 becomes high due to the reversal of the state, the timer 4Iib connected to this output is activated, and when a preset time elapses, for example, 1 second, the output becomes high. Emits output. This output is given to the input of the flip-flop 3bb, so that the decimal counter 3ttb stops due to the same effect as the previous flip-flop JA6, and the number is displayed on the variable display //b.
With the stone displayed, another timer 4'/α is activated by the inversion of the output of the flip-flop 34b.

The output of this timer 4 (/α) is connected to the input of the remaining flip-flop 36α, so that when the predetermined time set in this timer elapses, for example, 1 second, the high level signal from timer II/G is output. Due to the output, the state of the flip-flop 36α is also reversed.Therefore, as before, the decimal counter 39a counts a fixed number and stops in the output state, so the corresponding variable display
CL also displays that number and stops.

Incidentally, the tire 41 is connected to the Q output of the flip-flop 340 that is first reset by the operation of the stop switch/co, and this output is connected to the reset F input of the flip-flop 340 through the OR gate 4LO. Therefore, this timer 41 operates at the same time as the flip-flip 746 is set. and the timer 4
! - First and foremost, talent! 1 Open Open 58-12668 (5) After a predetermined period of time has elapsed (for example, after 7 seconds), the state of the flip-flop 346 is forcibly reversed so that the above-described circuit operation occurs.

This may be caused by the player inadvertently or intentionally
Even if you do not press -, the purpose is to return the circuit system including the counter to the initial state after the set time of the timer octopus has elapsed, in other words, to end another game, and if there is no timer octopus, press the stop switch l-. Unless you do so, another game will continue.

As described above, each decimal counter jfa, 3de b.

When J9 (+ outputs a predetermined count value and stops,
The binary coded decimal output, that is, each 4-bit F output having a weight of 1-2-4-8, is input to a comparator or discriminator II3 formed by a combination of ordinary matching circuits. This discriminator station 3 transmits first, second, and third outputs. For example, for the first output 41 da α, all the counter outputs are fixed decimal values, such as “7” (all three digits on the display are “7”).
), the second output 4Illb is the counter 390
The decimal value of the output of only the /ku 39b is the same (that is, the variable display 11a, //J) is "1" and rIJ, and r4j and "
4''), the third output +lIc is emitted in the other cases.

When the first output cup α is transmitted, a special game starts,
This output is given to the AND Gamer α's power, and the A
The inputs of the ND game .alpha. are connected to the 100 output of the flip-flop 34a which is the last to be reset for the counter. Therefore, AND game! α is missed,
Through OR Game II 6, a high level is given to the single power of other AND Game A. This AND game '1
7G individual input tlli, j NO AND goo) The flip-flop connected to the output of 1'78 receives the 100 G output, so it's 1! ! The AND gate dak α performs an AND operation, and the flip-flop pta is inverted to make the Q output high level. Of course, at the same time, the output of the 7 flip-flop 41tα goes to a low level, so the flip-flop ta is turned on and the 9 AND gate 7G is closed at this point.

1/j- When the 7-lip flop 4Itα is set in this way, a high-level Q output is given to the single output of the 3-input AND gate 1I9G.

On the other hand, the other input that is the inverting input of this MΦG4!9 is a 4-bit parallel output terminal (for convenience, 0.1 from the lowest , 2. Schiff with 3)
The topmost register of register 30G (ZOa) is receiving feedback from (A!) and this input is an inverted input. Because it has been reversed and reset by force, this palm-) 4! t
α is controlled by the remaining input. And AND Gamer 4'? The last input of α is a oscillator j that emits a high-level pulse signal at an appropriate frequency.
Since the output of / is connected, the output of Puku) 41 de α will be set to high level depending on the frequency of Puku), and each time it will shift) register son will change the output to "1" or high one bit at a time.・ -/ I'm going to make it a devel. This continues in the topmost pin) (A3), but the process is activated by the driver z3b-1)s via the OR gate yokog=i at the output of A1, and the electromagnet 7
7α will be excited. Then, due to the high level transition of the A2 output, the driver 53 is activated via 1) OR gate z and 2b, and the electromagnet /7b is excited. Furthermore, when the A3 output becomes high level, the inverting input of AND(G)1dea is inverted, so the AND gate 4I9G is closed, and the shift register ZOa stops with all the pins F becoming "1".

Therefore, since both the electromagnets/a and itb continue to be excited, the guide pieces tza and itb are positioned at the lower side of the opening/da, and the special game continues.

It is the timer stiα that is activated by the high level transition of the AI5 output of the shift register SOa that ends the continuation of the special game after a certain period of time.

That is, when a predetermined period of time (for example, 50 seconds) has elapsed after the timer α is activated (after the electromagnet/?α, itb is energized), a high level output is generated. This output goes to the reset input of the solve flop 1Ita.
(6) AND game that connects powers! Given to rα's single power, the AND game! Since the individual inputs α are already at a high level υ due to the feedback of the Q output of the flip-flop tα, the AND of the plane inputs can be taken, and the gate S
This flip shift 111α is reset by the output of 5α. AN that was reset at the same time as this reset F
D game jcL closes and returns to its original state.

By resetting the flip-flop 411α mentioned above,
The shift register θα is reset manually by inverting the q output, and all bits become 0 or low level. As a result, the shift register goα also returns to its initial state, so the picture magnets 17α and /7b are demagnetized and the special game ends.

In addition, there is a timer for a certain period of time that the special game continues! The operating time of each circuit (971 hours, etc.) is added to the set time of the timer α (50 seconds), but since the operating time of each circuit is negligible compared to the set time of the timer, both electromagnets 77α, /7b12/- The excitation time (fixed time during which the special game continues) is determined by the timer ztsa.

By the above, the detector! On', no oh', toc'

396 stops, and its output numbers are all "7" (that is, the weight output of 1-2-4 is "1", and the weight day output is "0").
'') Both cylinders, magnet /7α, iqb are energized and demagnetized after 30 seconds, that is, one cycle of the 1@ special game is concretely understood.

However, while this periodic operation continues, the ball that entered the opening /41 continues to enter the opening /41 at 0.2t, flows down the special flow path 30, and turns on the special switch 3/, and then both electromagnets / 75. /76 is excited, so the special game repeats over and over again. That is, the output of this special switch 31 is left alone, and the Q output of the flip-flop lIzaα before being reset by the timer 5IIa is given to the input of the LAND gate. Therefore, if the special switch 3/ is turned on while both the electromagnets 77α and itb are continuing, it will happen ()! When f4 is opened and flip-flop 3 is turned on, it becomes . This flip-flop 37 is a storage circuit up to the point where information for the next electromagnet excitation operation arrives, and then sends a signal for exciting the image magnet as a high level q output to the AND game 1-f. I've been waiting for this stone.

Then, when the first special game ends after a certain period of time (50 seconds) and the output of the AND game Sa reaches the waste level as described above, the Wanshi Santsu Y multivibrator circuit j? emits one pulse, and the pulse of AND
It was given to Gamerg. Therefore, AND Gamer
Now, as mentioned above, we are already looking forward to the flip-flops! The high level signal is ANDed with the high level Q output of r7, and a high level signal is sent to the AND gate 7a via OR gate IIA.

If this happens, the same operation as that caused by the first output lII from the discriminator 13 described above will start, so the image magnet / ri α, itb will be the tire! The special game is repeated by excitation for the time set in step a.

In addition, it is a one-shot multi-vibrator circuit! The output of 9 resets the flip-flop 37 via the OR gate 40, and the special condition is achieved during the special game repeated 9 times, and the special switch 3 is activated.
The signal when 1 is turned on will be stored. If the special condition is not achieved, there will be no signal from the special switch 31, so after the special game ends, all the circuits will return to their original state, and if there is a signal from the special switch 31, the special game will start again. It will be repeated.

There is a possibility that the excitation operation of the two electric currents /a, /lb that continues for a certain period of time (30 seconds) can be continued an infinite number of times with the certain period of time as one basic unit. In other words, even during the special game, if the player continues to hit balls and the special condition is quickly achieved even with just one of the balls, the special game with the same conditions will be repeated again, so the special condition will be achieved during the special game. As long as you do, the special game will be repeated endlessly,
It can bring significant benefits to players.

In this case, playing pachinko is not just entertainment, but gambling, and instead of enjoying the game, it becomes a type of gambling.

In order to prevent this, the nine repetitions of the special game may be stopped by so-called stopping. However, as is well known, stopping the game is done by stopping the supply of f-ball balls to the tank installed on the back of each machine, which results in uneven number of special games. For example, Supply of real baseball balls 6
The number of repetitions of the special game will be different depending on whether the special game is stopped after the 5th inning or when it is stopped after the 5th inning.
, the player loses interest in the special game that happened to occur.

Therefore, in order to limit the total number of winning balls in the special game to one run (for example, 50 balls) by electrical means, the following circuit configuration is added in the present invention.

The N-ary counter 6/ is set to N=50, for example, to make it a 50-ary counter, and the key of the counter 61 is -! - The carry signal (carry signal) is used to reset the 7 lip-flop circuit as a special switch signal storage circuit via the OR gate 60. And the N-ary counter 6/ is the special variable winning system @ in the first special game.
The first winning ball to reach /3 is counted as one ball, and the ball continues to be counted to 50 balls regardless of whether the special game is repeated.

Therefore, for the 49th winning ball, there is no carry signal from the counter t/, so every time there is an output from the special switch 3 for each special game, the flip switch j7, which is a memory circuit, memorizes that fact. When the special game ends, the next special game is played. However, when the 50th winning ball is clicked, the N-adic counter 61 continues to issue a carry signal to keep the reset F input of the flip switch at a high level, so there is an output from the special switch 31 during that time. However, the Q output of the flip-flop 57 is pulled to a low level. Also, this carry signal is A
The flip-flop IIta is reset 24-F via the ND gate) jjα. Therefore, even if there is an output from the special switch 3/ while the special game continues, that is, even if the special condition is achieved, it is equivalent to no output from the special switch 31, and no subsequent special games will occur. Of course, the ongoing special game is immediately stopped.

In order to cause such an operation, the N-ary (50 base)
Counter 4/ requires the following conditions. That is, it must be reset (reset) before the start of the special game, and it must be counted up by "1" for each winning ball in the special game. Such conditions can be easily set by a person skilled in the art by putting together arbitrary logic! In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the stone is treated as follows.

First, the counter input (2) is performed using the first output 4Ipα of the discriminator 413, which is the starting condition for the first special game.
In addition, the winning ball counter for the special game inputs the ball detection signal from the detector 330 that detects the ball that has entered the special variable winning device 13.

-λKu Therefore, before the first start of the special game, the 50-decimal counter A/ is reset by the first output 15, and when 50 batted balls win a prize in the special variable winning device /3, the signal from the detector 33 is output. When given 50 times, a carry signal is issued and a flip-flop occurs! As well as resetting the flip-flop qta, the subsequent special game will not be played, and the ongoing special game will be canceled.

For convenience during maintenance and inspection, six monitor switches are provided on the back of the pachinko machine in this embodiment.
The output of this switch is input to the preset input of each decimal counter so that both 39b and 39c output the decimal number "7". However, each detector 10α', 10b
By turning on ', 10o', each counter 3 de α,
Flip-flop jAcL that operates 3deB and 3deC
, 34b, and 346 are AND gates 63α, b3h, and b that perform AND with the Q outputs of ybb and 3bc from these monitor switches 6 to the preset inputs so that this monitoring is possible only when all of them are in the reset state.
3a is provided. The explanation up to this point has been based on the case where the first condition is achieved by hitting the ball and there is a separate game, and in this separate game, the specific condition is achieved and a special game is created, and the first output lli α is output from the discrimination circuit 3. Everything works by sending out a message.

However, if a specific condition is achieved in another game and the first profit game is a woman, that is, each decimal power fy n# 39r
L, Jtb, counter 3 dec out of 3fa, yqb
When the decimal values of
Let us explain the case when b is emitted.

In this case, the profit level for the player is much lower than that of a special game, and the AND of the second output tnb and the Q output of the flip-flop jl, which has been reset as described above, is applied to the AND gate 1Irb. This AND output is given to qqb's single power (other AND goo).

The low input of this gate duct b is the output of the flip-flop 41tb, which uses this output as input to the cellar.Since it receives the force, the AND gate duct b will also open, and the p1 flip-flop ytb will be set. and the Q output becomes high level. At the same time, the 100 output becomes a low level and the AND gate b is closed. On the other hand, the high level signal of the Q output from the set of flip-flops l1tb is sent to one non-inverting input of a three-input AND gate yqb, which has one inverting input, and the inverting input is a 6-bit parallel gate which receives the output of this gate as a clock. It receives the most significant bit output of the shift F register 30b which has an output terminal.Since this output is at a low level, every time the output of the oscillator, S-/, enters the remaining non-inverting input, The AND gate 4'tb passes through this, and therefore the shift register 50b sets the condylar parallel bit output from L8B to MOB to a high level from "1". To this, the auxiliary electromagnet is connected via the first driver 33α! α is excited, then the OR gear 5 α, the electromagnet /' through the driver zsb
1eL is excited, then OR Geku S cob1 driver,
The electromagnet /7b is excited via tjO, and finally the auxiliary electromagnet 30-corb is excited. and Schiff F register r
If ob then sets the MSB output to "1", this output closes the AND gate b, and the output of the oscillator 31 is transferred to this register! Since θb is no longer given to θb, each electromagnet 21CL, /7(!, ltb, :1j*b is continuously excited.The state is the mode of the first profit game, and each electromagnet 17α, /7(!, ltb, :1j*b) is continuously excited. 76, When α and Yu!b are energized, as mentioned above, the guide pieces /ra and ltb together with the stone located on the lower side of the opening /da, the auxiliary guide piece /AG,
/Ah are located on the left and right sides of the opening llI.

Therefore, when a batted ball flowing down the gaming section reaches the opening /4I, it is guided by one of the guide pieces and enters the inside to become a 17-) ball, increasing the probability of the batted ball winning a prize.

The first profit game described above does not continue indefinitely, but only for the set time of the timer 54Ih. This timer 54t
b is Schiff F register! Ob (7) A flip-flop robot that starts operating with MOB output and is activated after the set time (for example, 15 seconds) has elapsed.
The AND with the Q output of is obtained at -37- frames-) zzb, and at the same time, the flip-flop tnb returns to its initial state with the output of the AND gate srb.
44I (A low level Q output is given to the reset input of the shift register 30b having an inverted reset input via L, the shift register SOb is reset and all electromagnets are jrG, /7α, /
76,-! b is demagnetized. Therefore, the first profit game continues for, for example, 15 seconds set by the timer 31b, and there is no repeat function like the special game described above, and when it ends, the game returns to the initial state of waiting for the second output QII6.

In addition, the structure of the code|symbol which added b to the number in the circuit of the 1st profit game is the same as the structure of the circuit in the previous special game.

On the other hand, if the player's batted ball achieves the first condition in the gaming section, but does not achieve anything in another game, and the discrimination circuit DA 3 issues the third output II+a, it becomes a second profit game. This second profit game has even less profit status for the player than the first profit game, and the circuit configuration of this second profit game is the same as the first profit, as is clear from the drawing 12668-12668 (9). The circuit configuration is almost the same as the game circuit. To explain the electrical processing mode of this second profit game, the third output Dada C and the hundred output of the flip-flop 34CL are ANDed by -)41rc,
This AND output is given to another AND key. This AND gate Tough0 is opened because its input receives the 100 output of the flip-flop IItO, and the flip-flop IItO is set and the Q output becomes high level. The high level signal of this Q output is sent to one non-inverting input of the 3-input AND '196 with one inverting input, and the inverting input is sent to a 4-pin F parallel output terminal that receives the output of the Dub O as a clock. Shift register with! 00 (Receives the D most significant bit output, and since this output is at a low level, every time the output of the oscillator j/ enters the other non-inverting input, the AND gate 1I96 passes it, and therefore the shift register 300 starts from the LSB. The output is set to "1" or a high level in sequence toward the MSH. As a result, electromagnet/7G is first excited via OR gate 33-3G and driver zsb, then electromagnet/76 is excited via OR gate 3b1 and driver jj6, and then M8
If the B output is set to "1", the output will be 0.) l11
0 is closed and the oscillator jlo output is no longer given to the register zoc K, so both cylinders and magnets na and nb are continuously excited. This state is the mode of the second profit game, and by excitation of p1 both electromagnets /7α, /7b, both guide pieces /3α, /! b is located, and a part of the batted ball hits both guide pieces/! From α and l, the ball flows into the opening part lda and becomes a winning ball.

Therefore, the second profit gaming company electromagnet/75. The guide piece /! is excited by /rib. G, /jb is located at the lower side of the opening /4I to receive the batted ball flowing down the gaming section, and continues for the time set by timer 3 (for example, 5 seconds). The timer 3daO is operated by the shift register sac (D MSB tB force) similarly to the timer jrib,
After waiting for 5 seconds and time-up, the land with the Q output of the set flip-flop C is obtained by AND Game ZC, and the AND31I-Goo)! ! When the output of 6 resets the flip-flop data 0 and returns to the initial state, the output of
The low level Q output is applied to the reset input of the shift register lOO through the shift register j
OO is reset and both cylindrical magnets /α, /76 are demagnetized.

Therefore, the 12-profit game continues for, for example, 5 seconds set by the timer, tea, and like the first profit game, there is no repeat function.

In addition, in the second profit game, the configuration of the symbol with C added to the number is the same as the circuit configuration in the special game.

In addition, in the circuits of the first profit game and the second profit game, reset to the shift registers sob and zoo (OR goo in the signal line) 4415. A da b and the OR g)
6 inputs a and 4+b are connected to the shift register 30G for special games.The one connected to the signal line is the first one.
This is because all the electromagnets are once demagnetized at the same time as the special game Nori-Sera even during the operation of the circuit system in the profit game or the second profit game.

Next, a case will be described in which the probability of occurrence of a special game is electrically adjusted.

Now, three decimal counters 4139α, 3qb, , 7
? Assuming that the output of G is not modified in any way, if you calculate it in decimal notation, the probability that all these output values will be a single number, for example "7", is 1/10!1, that is, 1/1000. 1, the specific condition is achieved only 1 out of 1000 times in another game. Considering the state of the weighted PIF of each decimal counter in this case, it is 0111'' starting from the weight 8.

However, any one of the three counters (
For example, if the LSB, that is, the weight 1 output of the decimal counter 3dcL) is pulled up to the power supply potential +Vcc and fixed to "1" as shown by the connection @bsα, the remaining 8-4-2 bits are The number “011” is a decimal number r
There is r6J (0110) outside of 7j (0111).

In other words, even if the counter 39 (L) outputs "6", it will actually be "7", and in the end, this counter 39α will be "7".
If either "7" or "6" is output, it can be assumed that "7" is output. Therefore, counter J9G is "7".
The probability of outputting `` is 1/5 compared to 1/10 of the other counters, 79&, Ha.

Therefore, the probability that each counter 3 de α, 3 de b, and 3 go all have "7" is '/s X '/16 X '/1
6-'150G, the probability of special game occurrence increases.

In exactly the same way, two decimal counters 3 are connected to the connecting line bsb.
If the LSB of de α and 3 deb is pulled up to the power supply potential +Vca and fixed to “1”, the probability that “7” is aligned in each counter is '/B X '15 X '/16 = 14. .

becomes 1/250, and each counter 39α,
If you pull up the LSI with the connection line 416 for both 3deb and JdeC, 1/, X 115X 1/, = 1/, 2
．． Therefore, the specific condition is achieved in another game is 12
1 out of 5 @. Of course, this probability adjustment can be done on any bit output, and instead of pulling it up to the power supply potential, one of the bits F can be pulled down to ground potential, i.e., 37-, binary "0". It can also be done by fixing υ to ``.

The electrical operations of the above-mentioned special game, first profit game, and second profit game are in one embodiment, and can be freely designed as circuits using other electronic means that can be considered.

In short, the present invention starts a separate game when a player's ball hits a first condition, and when this separate game achieves a specific condition, a special game is continued for a certain period of time to provide a special benefit to the player. In addition, if the batted ball involved in the special game satisfies the special conditions within a certain period of time during the special game, the special game with the same conditions is repeated after the special game ends, thereby increasing the interest of the sipachinko game. By limiting the total number of winning balls in a special game to a certain number, gambling activities that stimulate the gambling spirit of the players are prevented. Therefore, it is possible to provide a pachinko game aimed at wholesome entertainment.

It should be noted that the design of the present invention can be changed in any state as long as it complies with the description of the claims. You may be able to play only a special game by changing the number of shields or electromagnets, or you may be able to selectively play a special dress-up game and one or both of the first profit game and the second profit game, or in practice. This can be done in any way depending on the circuit configuration.
