<Prior art> As is well known, in conventional pachinko machines, the game is played to determine whether a ball hit by a player becomes safe as it travels down the playing section, or whether it ends up being an out. Therefore, the game content tends to be monotonous and lacks variety. For this reason, we installed a variable prize winning device in the gaming department,
Furthermore, some machines are equipped with game devices such as slot games and roulette games, and allow players to perform games with external operations.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, the above-mentioned conventional pachinko machines cannot provide sufficient interest to players because the game content is easily influenced by differences in the skill of the players and lacks chance. do not have.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and includes a specific state detection means for detecting that a ball hit by a player has entered a preset specific state, and a ball batted ball. A plurality of target frames equipped with detection means for detecting the number of targets are provided in the gaming section surrounded by guide rails, and a matrix display device consisting of a plurality of display units connected to the detection means of each target frame, and The special game display device visibly displays the progress status of the special game to the player.

<Function> The present invention provides a special game in which, when a ball hit by a player enters a specific state, detection means for a plurality of target frames are activated within preset conditions such as a certain period of time or a range of a certain number of balls hit. have them do it.

<Examples> The present invention will be described below with reference to illustrated examples.

The surface of the game board 2 of the pachinko machine 1 has a game section 4 surrounded by guide rails 3, and inside this game section 4, there are numerous obstacle nails (not shown) as well as a special device for detecting a specific state of the ball. Pocket frame-shaped special prize openings 5, 5 as a state detection means, a variable prize that changes from a state where it is difficult for a batted ball to enter to a state where it is easy to enter depending on whether a ball flowing down the game section 5 enters or the operation of a solenoid on the back side of the game board 2 A device 6..., a timer 8 shown as a special game display device 7, a matrix display device 11 in which a display section 10 corresponding to a target frame 9 crossing the gaming section 4 are arranged vertically and horizontally are provided, and an out port 12 is provided at the bottom end. do.

The above-described matrix display device 11 is located inside a vertically elongated batted ball receiving frame 13 which is open at the top, and a batted ball prize opening 14 is formed at the inner lower end of the batted ball receiving frame 13. A game board 2 is placed at the open upper end of the ball receiving frame 13.
A special game display device 7 protruding from the special game display device 7 is positioned, and the interval 15, 15 between the side surface of the special game display device 7 and the upper edge of the ball receiving frame 13 serves as an inlet for the ball to enter the prize opening 14.

A score display device 16 is provided on one side of the game board 2,
The points acquired by a player when a special game is played are visually displayed on the score display device 16.

The score display device 16, special game display device 7, and matrix display device 11 described above may be provided on the front frame surface of the pachinko machine 1 instead of on the surface of the game board 2.

Each of the target frames 9 described above has a detection means 9' such as a micro switch for detecting the passage of a batted ball, and each detection means 9' controls an electric control device (not shown) on the back side of the game board 2. The information is communicated to one of the display units 10 via the display unit 10. The electrical control device includes not only the detection means 9' but also a detector for the special winning hole 5 as a specific state detection means, a solenoid for the variable winning device 6, a special game display device 7, a score display device 16, etc. A special game is played by connecting the machine and receiving various inputs and transmitting outputs.

When a pachinko game is played using the pachinko machine 1 constructed as described above, the following behavior occurs.

The ball hit by the player flows down the gaming section 4,
When the ball enters the variable prize winning device 6, a fixed number of prize balls are ejected and the variable winning device 6 converts the ball into a state where it can easily accept the ball.

Further, even when a batted ball enters the winning hole 14 from the interval 15, a fixed number of prize balls are ejected. Furthermore, the ball that does not enter any of the special winning holes 5, the variable winning device 6, and the winning hole 14 will pass through the target frame 9, but since the detecting means 9' is inactive except during special games, the ball will not be hit. The passage of the vehicle is not detected and the vehicle is guided directly to the outlet 12.

When a batted ball enters any special winning hole 5, it is detected by a detector and stored in an electric control device, and a certain number of prize balls are ejected and a lamp 5' on the surface of the game board 2 is lit or flashed. When a hit ball enters another special winning hole 5, it is detected and stored in the electric control device, a certain number of winning balls are ejected, a lamp 5' is displayed, and a special game is started at the same time. Therefore, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, the starting condition for the special game is that a ball hits both special winning holes 5, 5 and both lamps 5', 5' are lit, and at this time, the electric control device does not output an output. The signal is transmitted to activate each detection means 9', and the timer 8 of the special game display device 7 is activated. The timer 8 is set to a certain period of time, for example 10 seconds, and this time period is the special game interval.

During the special game interval, the player can hit a plurality of balls, and each time the ball passes through the target frame 9, it is detected by the detection means 9', and the display section 10 corresponding to the detected detection means 9' lights up. Identification is indicated by blinking, color change, etc. When the identified display sections 10 are aligned vertically, horizontally, diagonally, etc. in the matrix display device 11 to form a preset prize mode, each time the display sections 10 are aligned vertically, horizontally, diagonally, etc., points are added and visually displayed on the score display device 16, If the scores are not completely aligned, nothing will be displayed on the score display device 16.

When the special game ends after the set time of the timer 8 has elapsed, the timer 8 is reset by the electric control device, the lamp 5' is extinguished, and the operation of the detection means 9' is also stopped. At the same time, when there is a score on the score display device 16, the electric control device transmits an output to give a special profit to the player.

As a special benefit, for example, in response to the score on the score display device 16, a solenoid is activated to change the variable prize winning device 6 to a state where it is easier for a ball to enter the ball,
Alternatively, a certain number of prize balls are ejected. and,
For example, if a ball hits all of the target frames 9 on the matrix display device 11 in one special game, a privilege may be given as a special profit through storage, control, calculation, etc. of the electric control device. This privilege includes, for example, changing all the variable winning devices 6 three times to a state where it is easy for the ball to enter, and during these three times, the player can freely operate the operation section 17 on the surface of the pachinko machine 1. You can choose.

In this way, in the above embodiment, there are two special winning holes 5,
When a ball hits the target frame 9, the special game display device 7 starts a special game, and within the interval of the special game, a plurality of balls hit the target frame 9 or pass through the target frame 9, and the detection state is displayed on the matrix display device. When a predetermined prize mode is reached in step 11, a special profit is given to the player by ejecting prize balls, changing the variable prize winning device 6, etc. Of course, in special games, the batted ball is variable winning device 6 and winning hole 14.
If it enters, the prize ball will be ejected, and if it enters both special prize holes 5, the next special game will be awarded.

Note that the present invention can employ various embodiments as described below.

The starting condition for the special game is not limited to the case where a batted ball enters both special prize openings 5, but if a batted ball enters either one of the special winning openings 5, or the winning ball enters the winning opening 14, the winning ball is fixed. number (e.g. 15 intervals)
, the number of out pitches is a certain number (for example, 100).
It may also be the case that the number of In such a case, since the probability of a hit ball entering the special winning hole 5 is not affected, even a player who is unskilled in games can easily play the special game.

Determining the interval between special games is not limited to the time period set by a timer; for example, the number of batted balls fired, the number of out balls, etc. may be counted, and the special game may be ended when this number reaches a certain number. good. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, a meandering flow path 18 for batted balls is provided as a special game display device 7 in the game section 4, and an inlet 19 for batted balls is provided at the upper end of the meandering flow path 18, and an outlet 20 is provided at the lower end. At the same time, a first switch 21 and a second switch 22 are arranged vertically, and when a batted ball enters the meandering channel 18 from the inlet 19 and the first switch 21 detects passage, a special game is started, and the second switch The special game may be ended when 22 is detected to have passed. With such a configuration, the interval between special games will be the time required for the hit ball to flow down from the first switch 21 to the second switch 22. Incidentally, if the matrix display device 11 having the display portions 10 is integrally formed below the meandering channel 18, attachment to the game board 2 becomes easier.

Further, if each target frame 9 is a pocket-shaped receiving frame that receives a batted ball, there is no need to provide an out port 12, and if each target frame 9 is a passing frame with an open upper and lower surface, it is not necessary to arrange the target frames 9 in parallel below the gaming section 4. They may be scattered within the section 4 as appropriate.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, one pachinko machine can play not only a normal pachinko game but also a normal game in which the player aims to win a prize with the ball under specific conditions when the ball reaches a specific state.
