Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention provides a variable display device on a game board, and provides an advantageous system in which a player can win many prize balls based on the display state of the variable display device. This invention relates to an improvement of a pachinko game machine that provides a special prize game state.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as typified by a model called Fiber, a variable display device, a starting prize opening, and a variable display device are provided on a game board, and when a starting winning ROM hit ball wins, a variable display is displayed. A pachinko game in which a change in the display state of the device is started and then stopped after a certain period of time, and the variable winning device is changed to a special prize game state in which it is extremely easy to win a winning ball based on the stopped display state of the display device. Many machines are known.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, this type of pachinko game machine does not have an opportunity to enter the special prize game state unless a ball hits the starting prize hole and the display state of the variable display device changes. For this reason, if the hit ball does not easily enter the starting prize opening and the number of times the display state changes is small, not only will players lose their desire to play, but the game will also become less interesting and less popular. On the other hand, if you increase the number of times the display state changes by making it easier to enter the starting winning ROM balls, a certain number of prize balls (for example, 13) will be ejected every time a winning ROM is won, and the game store will have to pay a large amount of money. Business becomes unsustainable due to losses.

Therefore, in game parlors, the above-mentioned problem is addressed by adjusting the winning probability in the starting prize opening by adjusting the nails every day, but the current situation is that this does not provide sufficient satisfaction to the players. .

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a service to players by causing the change operation of the display state of the variable display device to be performed independently of winning balls, and to avoid causing great losses to the game arcade To provide a pachinko game machine that you will never experience before.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a combination of a variable display device capable of sequentially variable displaying multiple types of identification symbols, and a specific identification symbol predetermined by the variable display device. A variable winning device that makes it extremely easy to win a winning ball when hit, a detection switch for detecting out balls flowing out from the out port in a pachinko game machine having an out port on the game board, and a detection switch for detecting out balls flowing out from the out port, A counter means for counting the number of out balls based on a signal is provided. Then, when the number of out balls reaches a predetermined number, a signal from the counter circuit is used to start changing the display state of the variable display device.

[The out ball flowing out from the working core out port is detected by the detection switch, and the signal is sent to the counter circuit.

When the counter circuit counts a predetermined number of out balls, a signal is sent to the variable display device to start changing its display state.

[Example] The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko game machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. The pachinko game machine 1 stores prize balls in the lower part of the front and hits 5 balls! The upper receiver leading to the elbow is plate 2. The upper receiver is a tray 32, and the lower receiver is a tray 32 for storing the prize balls that become wet when the prize balls stored in the tray 2 overflow. vt.

The variable time reduction button 5 of the variable display device 9 described above is provided, and the game board 6 has a plurality of normal winning openings 8. Variable display device 9
．． Variable prize opening 10° for tulips etc. Variable prize winning device 11
will be placed. Further, an out lower is formed below the game board 6.

The variable display device 9 includes three-digit segment display sections 12a to 12c, as shown in FIG. Then, a determination circuit determines whether or not the combination of segment display portions 12a to 12c is determined to give a special prize game state, and the change opening mode of the variable winning device 11 is determined based on the determination result.

As shown in FIG. 4, the variable winning device 11 has a laterally enlarged opening 13 formed in the central portion, and normal winning holes 14 are provided on both sides of the opening 13. An opening/closing plate 13' is provided on the front side of the opening 13 so that it can be opened and closed toward the front side. The opening/closing plate 13' is supported by shafts 15.15 on both sides of its lower side, and the opening/closing plate 13' is opened or closed by driving means such as a solenoid.

FIG. 2 is a back view of a pachinko game machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. A mechanism plate 16 is rotatably mounted on the back side of the pachinko game machine. The mechanism board 16 forms a winning ball gathering section (ball collection) 17 on the inner side facing the back surface of the game board 6. In addition, a prize ball tank 1 is provided on the outer upper part of the mechanism plate 16.
8 are arranged. A guide gutter 20' is formed below the prize ball tank 18 for guiding the prize balls to the prize ball discharging device 19. A prize ball discharge 4ii20 is formed below the FX prize ball discharge device 19 for guiding the prize balls discharged from the prize ball discharge device 19 to the upper tray 2 and the lower tray 3.

A prize processing device 2 is located near the exit of the entered prize ball gathering section 17.
1 is arranged. Further, an out ball discharge gutter 22 is formed below the winning ball collecting section 17 in communication with the out lower.

The out ball discharge gutter 22 is provided with a detection switch 23 for detecting out balls flowing down from the out lower. This detection switch 23 is connected to the display state conversion circuit of the variable display device 9 via a counter circuit. The counter circuit stores a certain number (for example, 10) of out balls in advance, receives a signal from the detection switch 23, continuously counts the number of out balls, and when the number reaches the stored fixed number, displays the counter circuit. A signal is sent to the state conversion circuit, and the segment display section 1 of the variable display device 9 is controlled by the signal.
2a to 12c are activated to convert and display numbers 0, 1, . . . , 9. Then, when the variable time reduction button 5 is pressed by the player after a certain period of time set by the timer or within the certain period of time, the updating is stopped.
