Description

Detailed Description of the Invention This invention provides that when a ball hits a specific winning slot, the variable winning device converts the ball into a state where it can easily accept the ball, and when the ball enters the continuous winning hole of the variable winning device in this state, the variable winning device This relates to a pachinko machine that converts the ball into a state where it is easy to accept the ball again.
and is characterized by being regulated by the number of winning pitches.

Recently, various pachinko machines have been developed in which when a ball enters the continuous winning hole, the variable winning device changes the state into a state where it is easy to accept the ball again.

However, in such a pachinko machine, the variable winning device changes from a first state in which it does not accept a batted ball to a second state in which it is easy to accept a batted ball.
When converted to the state, there will be a significant difference in the number of winning balls between a skilled player and an inexperienced player, and it is difficult to determine the winning rate in the second state just by adjusting the obstacle nails. .

The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, in which a movable piece is pivotally attached to a base plate, and an electric drive source is connected to the movable piece so that the movable piece can be put into a first state in which it does not accept a batted ball and a second state in which it easily accepts a batted ball. A variable winning device having a general winning hole and a continuous winning hole that can be converted and allows winning only the batted balls accepted by the movable piece in the second state, and a specific winning hole are provided in the gaming section,
A specific winning detector is installed in the flow path of the specific winning opening, a continuation detector is installed in the flow path of the continuous winning opening, and a counting detector is installed to count the winning balls that flow into the general winning opening and the continuous winning opening. Then, by the signal from the specific winning detector, the variable winning device is regulated by time, number of times, and number of winning balls and converted to the fc second state, and continuous detection by the batted ball that enters the winning hole continues in the regulated second state. The interest in pachinko games is increased by supplying a signal from the machine to an electric control device to operate an electric drive source and causing the variable prize winning device to enter a second state in a more specific manner than the regulated second state. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko machine that can sufficiently increase the winning rate, and also makes it difficult for differences in the skill of players to occur even in the second state, making it easy to average the winning rate.

The present invention will be explained below based on drawings of embodiments.

As shown in Fig. 1, the pachinko machine/
It has a ball feeder 3, a ball launch operation part q, etc. on the surface of the ball,
The left surface of the game board, which is provided so as to close the window of the front frame from the rear, has a game section 7 surrounded by a guide rail 6, and the game section 7 has numerous obstacle nails (not shown). ), a variable prize winning device g, a first specified winning hole 9, a second specified winning hole IO, etc., and a prize ball ejecting device (not shown) for ejecting prize balls and an electric control on the back side of the left side of the game board. equipment//etc.

Then, when the player supplies balls to the ball supply tray 3 and operates the firing operation section, the batted ball launcher/2 is activated and the ball supply tray 3 is activated.
Pass the ball guided from the guide rail A to the game gl.
! ? Fire inside.

The ball fired into the game section 7 hits an obstacle nail and flows down due to the force, and if it does not enter any winning hole on the way down, it is sent from the out hole /3 opened at the lowest position of the game section 7. It is ejected as an out ball on the back side of the game board.

On the other hand, if the ball hits the first specific winning hole 9 or the second specific winning hole 1 OK while flowing down inside the gaming section 7, each specific winning hole 9
, 2nd specific winning detector/S facing the 10 flow paths, 2nd
The specific winning detector/S detects the batted ball, and the detector/11
．． /! The electric control device ll that receives the signal from the ; converts the variable prize winning device g into a state where it is easy to win a prize with a batted ball.

The variable winning device has movable pieces on the left and right sides of the board 16 surface that is attached to the surface of the game board S. /7 are pivoted to face each other, and a concave chamber /g is formed by recessing a substantially central portion of the substrate 16 located between both rotating pieces /'l and 77, and an inclined upper end is formed in the concave chamber 1g. are both rotating pieces/7. An inclined plate /q is provided which is located in the gap /7 and whose inclined lower end is located in the middle of the recessed chamber /g.
A movable piece is located below the lower end of the inclined bottom surface of l. , /7 opens a continuous prize opening 2/ in which only the batted balls accepted by the ball are won, and a general prize opening 2.2, . . . side by side.

The movable piece 7 has a spindle 23 inserted in the middle of its length, and is rotatably attached to the surface of the substrate 76 through the spindle 73, so as to protrude from the back side of the substrate 16. An electric drive source such as an electromagnetic solenoid 25 is connected to the shaft end 3' of the support shaft 23 via a link mechanism 2f.

Therefore, when the electromagnetic solenoid 2S is demagnetized, the spring 26 of the electromagnetic solenoid 1 causes both rotating pieces /'1.17 to stop in an upright position, as shown by solid lines in the figure. In this state, both rotating pieces/7. Since the upper end gap of /7 is closed, the variable prize winning device g enters the first state in which it does not accept any falling batted balls.

On the other hand, when the electromagnetic solenoid Utah is energized, the link mechanism
2 is iron core 2! ' movement is transmitted to the support shaft 23 as a rotational force, and the movable pieces M, /l are tilted in a V-shape as shown by the chain line in the figure, converting them into a second state in which they can easily receive a batted ball. When the variable winning device g converts to the second state, the movable piece /? , /7 catch the falling ball and guide it onto the inclined plate /9.

The batted ball guided onto the inclined plate /9 rolls to the back of the -H recessed chamber /g due to the downward slope of the upper surface, and then passes through the gap between the lower end of the inclined plate 19 and the inner surface of the recessed chamber /g to the bottom surface λθ. It falls upward, appears again on the surface of the substrate 76 due to the downward slope of the bottom surface 20, and enters the continuation prize opening: 1 or general prize winning rococo from the lower end of the slope of the bottom surface λθ.

The ball that enters the general winning hole 22 is discharged to the counting frame 2g on the back side of the game board S, and becomes a winning ball after operating the counting detector 9 provided below the counting frame 2g. On the other hand, when the batted ball that enters the continuation winning hole 2/ is discharged to the back side of the game board S, the continuation detector 3 is installed at the upper part of the continuation ball gutter 3O.
1, it flows down into the counting frame and reaches the counting detector 2.
After activating 9, it flows down and becomes an incoming ball. In addition, for the purpose of reducing counting time, the counting detector 9 is not limited to one, but may be provided for each winning opening, or the continuation detector 31 may be used for detecting continuation 5 and for detecting argument. You may use it.

When the continuation detector 3/ is activated, it is electrically connected to the detector 31 and 'R' (the sharp turn control device l/ is activated by the variable prize winning device g).
The first state is repeatedly converted to the second state, and the second state is continued for a predetermined period of time (for example, 50 seconds). In addition, when the second state can be continued for a predetermined time, the number of balls entering η is counted based on the signal from the counting detector 2q, and when this value reaches a predetermined value, the first state is maintained regardless of the elapse of the predetermined time. It can also be restored.

In the illustrated embodiment, when a batted ball enters the first specific winning hole 9, the specific winning detector /4' detects the batted ball and sends a signal to the electric control device l/, which receives the signal and The control device // converts the variable prize winning device g from the first state to the second state only once by exciting the electromagnetic solenoid 2S. The time period during which the variable prize winning device maintains the second state is a predetermined time period (for example, 0.7 seconds) set in advance in the electrical control device l/. Therefore, after this predetermined period of time has elapsed, the electromagnetic solenoid, IS, is demagnetized, and both movable pieces /7. /7 rotates back p, and the variable prize winning device returns to the first state.

On the other hand, when the batted ball enters the second specific winning a prize opening 10, the specific winning prize detector/S detects the batted ball, and based on the signal from the detector/S, the static control device // controls the variable winning prize device g. The state is converted to the second state twice at predetermined time intervals.

When a batted ball enters the specific winning hole 9.70 like this, the variable winning device g converts to the second state within a range regulated by time, number of times, and number of winning balls.

When the variable winning device g is out of the second state and the ball enters the continuous winning loco/, the continuous detector 31 detects the ball and receives the signal from the detector 3. The control device // converts the variable prize winning device into the second state in a manner more specific than the regulation range. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the movable pieces /'/, /'l are repeatedly opened and closed a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 times) every predetermined period of time (0.7 seconds) to convert to the second state. If the ball does not enter the continuation winning hole 21 before the predetermined number of times ends, the first state is returned to the initial state where the first state continues after the predetermined number of times is completed. In between, the ball continued to hit 0.
2/, the electric control device // counts the predetermined number of times again from the first time according to the signal from the continuation detector 3/, and moves the movable piece /7. Repeat the opening/closing operation of /7. In other words, if the ball hits a continuous winning of 0.2/ in the middle of the predetermined number of times, the new predetermined number of times (18 times) is counted as 1, 2, etc., regardless of the remaining number of times of the predetermined number of times (18 times). do.

In other words, as long as the batted ball continues to enter the winning slot 2/ by the end of the predetermined number of times (18 times), the variable winning device g will repeat the state changing operation.

If this is done, the pachinko machine will discharge the planned number (stopped number) in a short period of time, resulting in a so-called stoppage. Therefore, in this embodiment, the state in which the conversion can be performed the predetermined number of times (18 times) is defined as one cycle, and the number of repetitions of this cycle is regulated to a certain number (for example, eight times), and the number of winning balls in one cycle is set to a predetermined number. number (for example, 10), and if the batted ball does not enter the continuous winning hole 2/ until this limit is reached, the initial state continues in the first state regardless of the number of remaining cycles. Regulate to return to normal condition. In other words, in a certain cycle, the number of balls hit continuously enters the winning loco/general prize slot 22... and it is easy to do so, and when the number of winning balls reaches the limit number of contributing balls, move on to the next cycle. Instead, it returns to its initial state at the end of the cycle. Note that it is desirable that the number of winning balls in the current cycle be displayed on a lamp or digitally for the player.

A detailed explanation will be given below based on a block wiring diagram of the electrical control device // shown in FIG.

The solenoid 2S for driving the movable piece is energized and controlled by the rectangular wave pulse oscillator 3.2 and the switching circuit 33. In the case shown in the figure, the switching circuit is npn.
) A transistor is used, and a solenoid 2S is inserted between its collector and the power source PB, and the oscillator output is given to its base.Therefore, each time the square wave pulse oscillator 32 sends out an oscillation pulse, Each time it is turned on, the solenoid is energized and the movable piece is placed in the second state, in this case the open position.

Then, the solenoid notification of 4 hours of each hit, that is, the opening time of the movable piece per time is determined by the pulse width T of the oscillation pulse, and when the solenoid is repeatedly opened and closed, it must be closed once The time until it opens again is determined by the pulse repetition period T. For example - a movable piece for about 0.7 seconds per turn/
If you want to open 7, pulse width T+' = 0.7 s
ec, etc. Similarly, the repetition time interval T2 may be determined by design.

In this pachinko machine/, when a ball enters the first and second specific winning holes 9 and /θ, a predetermined number of n and m times, for example, 1
times (?L=1) and twice Cm=2>, open the movable piece /7,
If the ball enters the continuation prize opening 21 by using the movable piece that opened during that time as a guide, it will be played once, for example, 18 times (/
= 18), the movable piece /7 is to be further opened and closed, but such frequency control ultimately limits the number of oscillation pulses of the pulse oscillator 32 to 1 or 2.18 depending on each case. It would be a good idea to choose accordingly.

In addition, regarding the winning of the continuing personnel slot 21, one cycle is defined as a maximum of one movable piece opening operation, for example, a maximum of 18 times as described above, and the number of updates is q times, that is, q cycles (for example, 8 cycles). If the upper limit is set, and there is a winning in the continuous winning 0.2/ during the current cycle before reaching the limit number of winning balls, the current cycle will be interrupted at this point, updated to a new cycle, and continued. If the limited number of winning pitches is reached before a prize is won in the prize winning 0.2/, the cycle is not updated to the new cycle but returned to the initial state.

However, from a circuit perspective, the cycle update is the basic circuit, and the update count limit is an incidental circuit. .

The number N of oscillators 32 is determined (N=norn+.

Or! ) In order to stop the pulse after it oscillates, various methods using known circuit technology can be considered, but in this embodiment, the operating input is set to a high level (H) to a logic value of "1" at a digital level. Using an oscillator that starts oscillating when n is applied, the number of pulses N (t) after the start of oscillation is counted, and this number N (t) is determined in advance according to the situation n.
When the number of fcs reaches N, the operating input is reduced to the level (L
).

) (The oscillator operating signal which is significant when the level is the first,
It is issued when there is a prize in the 2nd specific contribution opening "y", io, and continuous winning opening 2/. Each person wins a prize in the η-ro by using an appropriate detection switch or a micro switch, including low-electronic ones. As for the detector, we will explain the oscillator control starting from the winning ball detection using the illustrated example.In this case, the movable piece /7 is moved only once (N=n=1).
If there is a winning ball in the first specific winning lottery to be opened and closed, a detection signal to that effect is emitted by the first specific winning detector/4. Since this detection signal is generally an impulse, it is necessary to use an appropriate waveform shaping circuit. 3q is converted into a pulse waveform with a significant pulse width, and is applied to the set input of the R8 type flip-frog 3S for generating the oscillator operation signal 511.

The set signal on the left side of the Brillag flop 3, that is, the oscillator operating signal S1. as an H level at the Q output. is in parallel with the oscillator operating signal S, 1□183H via the detector from the second specific winning hole 10 and continuous winning hole 2/, which will be described later.
And so that it is digitally buffered and sent to the oscillator.

3 signals are sent to the oscillator run input via an OR gate 36.

As a result, the oscillator 32 generates a pulse, energizes the solenoid 2S through the switching circuit J3 as described above, and opens the movable piece 17, but at the same time, the output of this oscillator is input to an appropriate counter circuit 37. . In the case shown,
This counter circuit 37 is composed of a soft register having parallel outputs, and has n1 digits, that is, the maximum count number is at least n as described above.

m, I! ), it has the capacity to count the maximum number of pulses, in this case l (for example, 1B).

And parallel output QI corresponding to each pulse count number,
Q2.・= , Qe (QIs), Q, flip-flop 3 whose output generated the oscillator operating signal S+H
It is connected to the reset manual power R.

Therefore, as before, the pulse oscillator 3.2 oscillates and sends out one pulse at a time, and the left solenoid 2 is energized for a time corresponding to the pulse width T, and the movable piece /7 is also energized for a time T1. On the one hand, the counter 37 counts the number of pulses "1".
'' and its Q output goes from logic 1''' to H level, so the flips 70 and 75 are reset.As a result, the Q output goes to H level as the active No. 41 SIH until then. The oscillator 32 stops because the current level changes to the logic "o" or L level.In other words, the oscillation can be stopped just by oscillating the - pulse, and the first specified person Kahlo wins the prize. The purpose of opening the movable piece /7 only once is achieved when the switch is open.As is clear from the above, in this embodiment, the operating signal is the stop signal, and the flip-flop also serves as a generator for both signals. However, depending on the circuit, each signal may be generated separately.In this embodiment, the stop signal is written as SsL, and the other operating signals 5IT(r and 5IIH) are expressed as ``cocoon=S2L'' and ``cocoon=SQL.'' It is.

In this way, when the oscillator 3λ has oscillated 91 pulses as expected, the stop signal SQL is generated. Then, if shown as the inverter input of the counter 37, this signal is also sent to the reset input via the OR gate 36, so
The counter 37 returns to the initial state and thereafter reproduces the above operation every time a prize is won in the first specific winning hole 9.

The signal processing from the second specific winning a prize detector relating to the second specific winning a prize opening 10 is also the same in principle as that relating to the first specific winning a prize opening 9, and the signal processing from the waveform shaping circuit 3g to the R8 type flip-flop 3q, Oscillator 32 via OR gate 36
leading to operational input.

However, since the reset input of the flip-flop 39 is derived from the Q output corresponding to the count number "2" of the counter 37, once the operating signal stn is generated and the oscillator 32 oscillates, two pulses are generated. In 1, the left solenoid 2 is energized twice and the stop signal StL is not generated.

Conversely, in this way, when a prize is won in the first specific winning hole 10, the tearing action of opening the movable piece /7 twice is satisfied.

As is clear from these descriptions, if there is a person at any entrance, the number of times the moving piece should be opened is met by the output of the side number of the counter 37, which receives each operating signal and the number of stop signals. This can be easily achieved by selecting whether to connect the reset input of the flip-flop for signal generation. That is, 9L, m described above, and l described later may be made to correspond to the n-th, 1-th, and 1-th outputs of the counter 37, respectively.

When the movable piece 17 is performing the opening operation once or twice as described above, the ball that won the prize using the movable piece as a guide enters the continuation winning prize and is detected by the continuation detector 31. The circuit for performing further opening and closing operations, sometimes up to 18 times, is as follows. The reason why I wrote "maximum" 18 times here is that, as mentioned earlier, 18 times is a unit cycle, 1 cycle, and if the continuation detector 3/ is further input during this cycle, This is because the cycle is interrupted before the movable piece opens and closes all 18 times, and the first cycle of the next cycle begins. For example, when the next cycle starts with the activation of continuation detector 3/ after the seventh opening operation is completed, the next eighth opening operation will be the 8th opening operation of the previous cycle, and the 1st opening of the updated new cycle. Comes off. In addition, this number of update cycles is allowed up to a maximum of 8 cycles, so if the maximum number of open operations of 1B in each cycle is maintained, 1B x 8 open operations can be expected, but conversely, in the first cycle Even so, if there is no winning in the continuous winning loco/ball before reaching the limit number of winning balls during that period, the cycle will end.

In order to make it easier to understand the concept of interruption of this cycle, the concept of updating, and the limit on the number of updates, we will first put them aside here and explain one cycle from the start to the end.

When the winning ball is detected by the continuous detector 31 during the opening operation of the movable piece /7 once or twice in conjunction with winning the first and second specific winning lotto /θ, Similarly, the oscillator operating signal S8. A flip-flop circuit for generation is set. However, AND gates Q, 2 are inserted in the signal line up to this set input.
As will be described later, when the final cycle is reached, the signal from the continuation detector 3/ is set so as not to pass from then on.
.

ing. That is, as will be detailed later, when the final cycle detection signal SfH is issued as an H level, 1. Then, since this signal is added to the one-inverting input of the ant game) 1, it is no longer possible to perform an AND, but before that, the decay τ-8/
Since it is L, the AND is in a condition where it can be taken.

When the set input is applied to the flip-flop 4 (/ as described above), the oscillator operating signal SS is output as the Q output H level.
Although a signal H is generated, it is difficult for this signal to be sent to the three oscillators immediately. Tsumashi, continuation detector 3
The /gar detection signal is also applied to a monostable multivibrator q3 with a predetermined time constant, and when the set input is given an H level, the output becomes an L level for a certain period of time T3. This is because the q output of , and the Q output of the flip-flop q/ are ANDed at the gate.

Therefore, at the same time as the detection signal is generated, the flip-flop lI
l is set, but at the same time, the multivibrator <73 is also set, so the AND gate 41 is closed until the above-mentioned vibrator set time T3 has elapsed, and this operating signal is sent to the oscillator 32 via the OR gate 3A. 83H is never sent. The operating signal SmH is sent to the oscillator only after time T3 has elapsed, but the reason why there is such a time delay in generating the operating signal is due to the first and second 'r+ constants that caused the operation of the continuation detector 31. To ensure that the movable piece opening operation is completed once or twice as scheduled when a prize is won in winning slots 9 and 10, and to surely reset and return the counter 37 to zero by resetting the corresponding flip frogs 3 and 39. This is to buy time. The time T3 is determined in this manner, but if a time delay is not provided in this way, for example, the movable piece will perform the first opening operation upon detection of the second specific winning opening for the two-time opening operation. If the ball that enters the ball is detected by the continuation detector 3O when the ball is opened, the continuation 1 mode described below may occur before the second opening operation, and such a situation may occur. If this happens, the counter 37 has already counted "1", and the planned additional opening operation of the movable piece up to 18 times cannot be kept, but only 17 times.

Furthermore, this monostable multivibrator L? also has a superimposed function during cycle update, which will be discussed later.

In any case, after the counter 37 is reset within a certain period of time T3, when the operating signal 5IIH is sent to the oscillator 32, the three oscillators start oscillating again, and the solenoid 23 is energized and movable for each oscillation pulse. The opening and closing operation of the piece 17 will be repeated, but at the same time the number of pulses N (t
) are counted by the counter 37. Since the reset input of the flip-flop q-/ is connected to the already mentioned first (in this case, 18th) output Qt+s of the counter 37, the number of pulses N(t)=z-+8
At this point, the 7-lip flop is reset, and the operation signal S becomes the stop signal SRL.

After closing the lid and opening and closing the movable piece 18 times, the oscillator 3.2 stops as scheduled and the circuit returns to its initial state.

In other words, if there is no subsequent continuous winning 0.2/ during one cycle with the above-mentioned 18 times as one unit, this circuit system will be in the initial state, and from then on, the first and second specific winning slots will be activated again. It has been in a state where it has not been activated since winning the prize.

However, if the movable piece /7 that opens and closes during one cycle is used as a guide and there is a winning ball in the continuous winning hole U/ before the limit number of winning balls is reached, the situation will be different and a new ball will be drawn. It will be updated in cycles.

That is, if the continuation detector 3/ issues a detection signal again before the limited number of winning balls is reached during one cycle, the flip-flop/monostable multivibrator 11. ? A set input signal is sent to both j and r. Therefore, since the flip-flop 4'/ is already set during the cycle operation, the state will not change even if the set signal is received again.
Q output = H is only 1, but is it a monostable multivibrator? In the case of , the non-set state (time-H) is
Since it has returned to Q, the set signal inverts the state again, and Q=L. Therefore, the AND at Antogame FlI becomes valid, and the signal to the oscillator J2 becomes the stop signal SB.
goes low and stops the oscillator 3.2, and at the same time the counter 3.
Reset 7. After that, when the vibrator set time T3 described above has elapsed, the ant gate door q opens again.
The operating signal S3H is sent to the oscillator 32 to operate the oscillator, and the counter 37 starts counting the number of oscillation pulses N(t) again from the content "0".

During this new cycle, if the continuation detector 31 performs a detection operation again before reaching the limit number of winning balls in that cycle, this cycle will be updated to the next cycle with the same operation as above, and so on. Otherwise, when the counter 37 counts the number of pulses "18", the circuit returns to the initial state at the end of one cycle as described above.

Thus, up to this point, the cycle update accompanying the detection operation of the continuation detector 31 can continue an infinite number of times during each cycle. Therefore, this is updated q times, for example, 8 times (q
=8), the following circuit configuration can be used.

A counter with a capacity capable of counting q pulses, in this case a down counter qS, is prepared, and a binary code corresponding to the q is input into a preset input of the down counter aS. In the case of q=8, if it is expressed as a binary coded decimal code, it is a 4-bit digital counter from the most significant bit (MSB) P to the least significant bit (LSB).
Hit '1000' towards P+.

If we take the reset input to the counter qS with the distortion output = H from the flip-flop lIl with respect to the continuation detector 3/, then the continuation mode occurred previously and the cycle ends as described above, and the flip-flop 4 (/ is reset by the QCs output from the oscillation pulse counter 37, and when the calculation output returns to the H level, this down counter 13 is also reset. Also, this reset signal passes through the time constant circuit or timer circuit q6 A force is also applied to the preset enable input at a later time, and at this point the preset value is set. That is, the content of the counter lI3 at this point is 1000", and the outputs Q4 to Q+
(From MSB) shows the output to that effect.

Since it is interesting for the player to visually display the contents of this counter, it is preferable to display the counter output on, for example, a 7-segment display provided on the surface of the game board j. Therefore, at the above-mentioned time point, the number "8" is displayed on the display 7. Of course, a suitable interface, for example, a decoder l1g which also serves as a driver, is inserted between the binary coded decimal 4-bit output of the counter and the 7-segment display plate 7.

In the previous explanation, when the continuation detector 31 first performs a detection operation and enters the continuation mode, and the first cycle begins, the detection signal from the detector 31 that started this cycle is determined by the down counter <zq It is also applied to the clock input. Therefore, the down counter is "1" from its contents.
is subtracted from [7], and that fact is also displayed visually.

Therefore, this display indicates the remaining number of updates that can be performed.

Thereafter, at the same time as the cycle update is performed every time the continuation detector 31 detects, the down force counter S gradually reduces its contents.

Then, when an output indicating that the remaining number of times has become ``0'' appears on the output of the counter IS, the NOAH gate in this case as a 10'' detector? is the counter output Q4~Q,
'oooo' is detected, and a final cycle or final cycle detection signal (signal indicating that the cycle currently in progress is the final cycle) S/T is generated.

Therefore, as mentioned above, the antagonist 1 interposed in the output line of the detector 3/1 is closed and further signals are prevented from passing through. Therefore, this final cycle completes the opening and closing operations of the movable piece 18 times and ends. Along with this, the down counter +iZ& is reset and preset, so that the NOR gate output is also connected to S/L, and the AND gate q2 is brought into a state where it can be opened again, and the entire circuit system returns to its initial state.

Of course, instead of displaying the remaining nine times as described above, it is also possible to display the number of remaining cycles of the currently ongoing cycle or the number of cycles from the beginning.

Further, in the present invention, only by setting a finite number of cycle updates, a limit is placed on the update itself of this cycle.

First, set an upper limit for the number of winning balls that can occur during one cycle as described above, and if the ball does not reach the continuous winning pitch of 0.2/2 before reaching this limit, the cycle will be updated. Make sure not to. For this reason, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, the counting detector bump that detects the balls that have entered the two general winning holes and the continuous winning hole 21 is connected to the counter St via the waveform shaping circuit Sθ. The counter S/ is the counting detector 29
The number of winning balls is counted based on the signal from the H
Generates a level abort signal. This abort signal is then sent as a reset input to the aforementioned flip-flop q/ via the OR gate S2 to set the flip-flop 9/. When flip-flop 4 (/) is reset, the operating signal SBH becomes the stop signal SIL,
Return the circuit to its initial state. That is, when the number of winning balls reaches the limited number of winning balls, the variable winning device 8 returns to the first state in which it does not accept any batted balls, regardless of the remaining number of openings and closings of the movable piece /7 or the remaining number of cycles. It is.

On the other hand, the ball continues to be hit before reaching the limit number of winning balls.
If it enters the game, it is updated to the next cycle by the operation signal SsH from 4 Then, the number of winning pitches in the new cycle is counted again from "1". Since the counter S/ is reset by the above differentiation circuit when the output of the AND gate lIda goes to L level, it is also reset by the QCs output of the counter 37. Therefore, in a new cycle, the count always starts from [1].

If you set a limit on the number of winning balls as described above, just before reaching the limited number of winning balls, for example, the limit number of winning balls is set to "10", and the number of winning balls in the relevant cycle is already [9].
In this situation, there is a problem in how to handle the case where the batted ball enters the general prize winning hole 2/ and the continuous winning hole 2/ almost at the same time. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. It is advantageous to the player if the ball that enters the continuous winning 0.2/ is detected first and the cycle is updated by increasing the length of the ball.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, the counting detector 29
The number of winning balls per cycle detected by the counter S/
The number of winning balls may be visually displayed on the winning ball number display Sl on the front of the pachinko machine via the driver S3. By doing so, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the game, and it is possible to provide a sense of security and trust.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the balls that entered the general prize winning hole 0.22 and the continuous winning prize 0.2/ were collected and counted using the two-way slot 2g, but only the balls that entered the general winning hole η were counted. The same limit number of winning balls as in the embodiment may be set.

Further, in the above embodiment, the movable piece/7. Although the variable winning device g in which the /7 is pivoted in a facing manner has been described, the variable winning device in the present invention is not limited to this, and depending on the state of the movable piece 17, it may not accept the ball or it may be difficult to accept the ball. It is capable of converting into a first state and a second state in which it is easy to accept a batted ball, and has a general entry port 22 that allows the batted ball accepted in the second state to win a prize, and a continuous winning prize of 0.2/. It can be of any kind. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, there is a horizontally long ball entrance opened in the board 76'! The lower end of the horizontally long movable piece 77' is pivoted to rS, and the -
is a general input port 2.1' which communicates with the bulb inlet 5S.

2' and the continuation entrance λ/' are provided, and a first state in which the movable piece 77' stands upright and does not receive a batted ball, and a first state in which the upper end of the movable piece 77' is directed forward. It may also be a variable prize winning device g' that converts to a second state in which the ball entrances S and S' are tilted and the ball entrances S and S' are opened to facilitate receiving the ball. In addition, in this variable winning device g', a continuation detector (not shown) is provided in the flow path of the continuous winning loco/', and a counting detector (not shown) is provided in an appropriate flow path. It is similar to device g.

As explained above, according to the present invention, for example, a movable piece is pivotally attached to a base plate, and an electric drive source is connected to the movable piece to convert it into a first state in which it does not accept a batted ball and a second state in which it easily accepts a batted ball. A variable winning device having a general winning hole and a continuous winning hole for winning only the hit ball that the movable piece accepts in the second state, and a specific winning hole are provided in the gaming section,
A specific winning detector is placed in the flow path of the specific winning opening, a continuous detector is placed in the flowing path of the continuous winning opening, and one or more counters are used to count the winning balls that have flowed into the general winning opening and the continuous winning opening. Detectors are arranged respectively, and the variable prize winning device is converted to a second state regulated by time, number of times, and number of winning balls according to the signal from the specific person η detector, and continues in the regulated second state. Supplying a signal from the continuation detector caused by a batted ball that enters the winning hole to an electric control device to operate an electric drive source, and bringing the variable winning device into a second state in a manner more specific than the regulated second state. This allows you to change the game.

Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently increase the interest of the pachinko game.

In addition, since the number of winning balls in the second state is regulated, it is difficult for differences in the skill of players to occur, and even ordinary players can play the game with sufficient fun. Furthermore, the winning rate is averaged. This makes it easier to adjust obstructing nails.
