DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings for a first-type pachinko gaming machine called a fever machine. FIG. 1 shows the front of a gaming board 1 of this pachinko gaming machine. A large number of nails for guiding game balls are fixedly planted on one game board, and a normal winning port 2, a passing gate 3, an electric variable winning device 4, a large winning port 5, a windmill 6, and the like are provided. . Reference numeral 7 denotes a symbol variation display device comprising a liquid crystal display on which numbers, symbols, characters, and the like are displayed in a moving image. The special winning opening 5 has a large rectangular shape, and an opening / closing door 8 that is opened and closed by the operation of a solenoid is provided in the special winning opening. Reference numeral 9 denotes a continuous winning opening formed at the center of the large winning opening.

The passage gate 3 is provided with a ball sensor 10 such as a magnetic sensor or an optical sensor for detecting the passage of a game ball. As shown in FIG. 2, a nail 11 is fixed below the passage gate 3 to hit a game ball flowing down from the passage gate, and a pair of variable wings 12 are formed into an inverted V-shape by the operation of a solenoid. An electric variable winning device 4 is provided, which can be opened to increase the opening area and facilitate the entry of game balls.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a main part of a game control circuit related to the present invention of the pachinko game machine. 10 is the ball sensor, and 13 is a game ball that has entered the electric variable winning device 4. A start switch for detecting, a switch 14 for counting winning balls to the special winning opening 5, and a switch 15 for detecting winning balls to the continuous winning opening 9. The game control board 16 includes these switches and the electric variable winning device 4.
A solenoid 17 for operating the variable wing 12, a solenoid 18 for operating the opening and closing door 8 of the special winning opening 5, a symbol change display device 7, and the like are connected via input / output devices.

Next, an outline of the operation of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
When the ball sensor 10 detects the passage of the game ball to the passage gate 3 in step a, the process proceeds to step b to determine whether or not the current situation is a specific time described later. The process proceeds to step c, where the electric variable winning device 4 is opened. After 3.0 seconds have elapsed in steps d and e, the electric variable winning device 4 is closed, and the process returns to step a. In addition, when it is not the specific time (the initial time is not the specific time.
Hereinafter, it is called normal time. ) Moves to step f to open the electric variable prize device 4 and closes the electric variable prize device 4 after 0.2 seconds have passed in steps g and h.
Then, after elapse of 2.8 seconds as the invalid time in step i, the process returns to step a.

As described above, since the electric variable winning device 4 is open for a long time (3.0 seconds) at a specific time, the game ball p passing through the passing gate 3 as shown in FIG. Is almost certainly caught by the opened variable wing 12 and enters the ball. On the other hand, in normal times, the electric variable winning device 4 is only opened for a short time (0.2 seconds), so that the game ball p passing through the passing gate 3 arrives as shown in FIG. At this time, the variable wings 12 are already closed and cannot enter easily. As shown in FIG. 7, when the nail 19 is planted on the winning opening of the electric variable prize apparatus 4 so as not to obstruct a ball, the electric variable prize apparatus 4 is not fixed unless the variable wing 12 is opened. The possibility of entering the ball is completely eliminated.

When a game ball enters the electric variable winning device 4, the symbol change display device 7 displays numbers 1 to 8 in three rows and twelve types of symbols such as △, Δ, □, × in that order. The movement is displayed in a moving image like flowing from top to bottom. After a few seconds, the movement stops, and it is determined whether the stopped symbols are the same in each row, and become the same as "222" or "777". In this case, a jackpot is determined, and the opening and closing door 8 of the special winning opening 5 is continuously opened. As a result, a large number of game balls can be awarded in the special winning opening, and a large number of premium balls can be obtained, thereby providing many benefits to the player. If the stop symbols are not the same, such a jackpot profit cannot be obtained.

Whether the current gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine is a specific state or a normal state is determined in advance in the case of the first-type pachinko gaming machine by the stop symbol that has caused the jackpot as described above. You may do so. For example, when the stop symbol causes a jackpot with an odd number such as "333", "555", or "777", a certain period after the end of the jackpot operation is set as a specific time, and when such a specific condition is not satisfied, Time.

The invalid time provided in step i is determined by adjusting the time required to return to step a, so that even if a game ball is detected for a certain period of time after a game ball passing through the passage gate is detected, it is not affected. The detection is invalidated, and when a plurality of game balls continuously pass through the passage gate 3 in a normal state, the electric variable winning device 4 is operated by the subsequent game ball.
Is provided to prevent the opening of the game ball, and to prevent it from being advantageous to continuously pass the game balls through the passage gate 3.

In this embodiment, the specific time and the normal time are determined by the stop symbol, but may be determined by other factors, for example, when a game ball enters a specific winning opening. Good.
