), if stored, reset the latches corresponding to these winning openings and add 1 to the winning number storage counter C,
To end this cycle of processing, step 113) moves to "prize ball payout processing".

As mentioned above, this "winning ball detection process 1" is executed cyclically at predetermined intervals, and each time a ball entering each winning hole is detected, the value of each counter is sequentially incremented. It will be done.

FIG. 8 shows [Prize Ball Payout Process, 70-Diato indicating 1, and the CPU 59 that has shifted to the "Prize Ball Payout Process" first,
It is determined whether the payout process continuation flag F3 is set, that is, whether the prize ball payout device (not shown) is in operation (step 5201), and the prize ball payout device must be in operation at the present time. (Step 8202)
If any value is stored in the winning number storage counter C, the prize ball payout device (not shown) is driven to start paying out the number of pachinko balls corresponding to one winning (step 3203). , payout place'' continuation flag F3 is set to 1 to remember that the operation of the prize ball payout device has started,
This cycle of processing ends (step 8204>, and the process moves to "solenoid drive processing").

On the other hand, in step 5201, the payout processing continuation flag F
3 is set, it is determined whether or not the switch detection unit 62 stores the operation completion signal of the prize ball dispensing bag E (not shown). In step 5205), it is determined whether one operation of the prize ball dispensing device activated in "Processing" has been completed, and if the operation of the prize ball dispensing device has been completed, the number of pachinko machines corresponding to one winning is Since the payout of the balls has been completed, 1 is subtracted from the value of the number of winnings memory counter C (step 8206).
, reset the payout processing continuation flag F3 in step 8.
207), the process moves to "r solenoid drive processing".

Further, if the operation of the prize ball payout device is not completed in step 5205, a new payout cannot be started, so the process of the cycle is ended and the process moves to the "solenoid drive process".

Thereafter, each time the "'R ball payout process" is executed, the same process as described above is repeated, and the prize ball payout devices are sequentially operated until the value of the winning number storage counter C becomes O.

FIG. 9(a) and FIG. 9(b) are flowcharts showing the "solenoid drive process", and the CPU 59 that has transitioned to the "solenoid drive process" first selects the winning vitff3.
The movable blade 2.2 is jTl! In step 3301), it is determined whether or not the continuous opening flag F6 indicating that the continuation nIWI is being set is set, and if the blade 2.2 is not being continuously opened and closed, the big winning opening opening flag F4 is further set. Whether there is a type 2 starting port 4.5.6
It is determined whether or not the feathers 2, 2 are in an open state due to winning the prize (step 8302). If the big winning opening opening flag F4 is not set, the starting opening winning memory flag F1. It is determined whether or not F2 is set, that is, whether a pachinko ball has entered any of the second type starting ports 4, 5, or 6 (steps 5303 and 5304), and the starting port is won. Memory flag F1. If F2 is not set, it is determined whether the value of the continuous operation opening winning number storage counter C1 that stores the ball entering the special winning opening 38 is 0 (step 5305), and the continuous operation opening winning number storage counter C1 is determined. If the value of C1 is O, after these determination processes are completed, the "solenoid drive process" in the relevant cycle is terminated and the process returns to the "winning ball detection process", and hereafter, the "winning ball detection process J, rff ball detection process" is executed again. The determination process from step 8301 to step 8305 of ``dispensing process'' and 1 ``solenoid drive process'' is executed at predetermined intervals.

In this way, while CPLJ59 repeats the process,
When a pachinko ball enters the seed starting port 4, the middle tube second type starting loss switch 4a detects the entry of the pachinko ball, and the corresponding latch of the switch detection section 62 is set. The CPtJ59 reads the information of the switch detection unit 62 in step 5101 of the "winning ball detection process", confirms that the ball has entered the medium type 2 starting port 4 (step 8102), and sets the starting port winning memory flag F1. is set (step 3104).

Step 83 in "Solenoid drive processing" of the same cycle
After confirming that the start date 'B memory flag F1 is set in 03, the CPU 59 magnetically excites the big prize opening opening solenoid 5OL1 to open the movable blades 2, 2, while also opening the character solenoid 5QL2. is magnetically excited to bring the movable member 31 into contact with the upper surface of the guide plate 30, and at the same time cause the ball path varying piece 43 to protrude from the inner wall 35 (step 5306), and while starting the timer T and starting the sub-time, Reset the winning opening memory flag F1 and setting the big winning opening flag F4 (step 8307)
, then the elapsed time measured by the timer is the first
The set time t as shown in the timing chart in Figure 1
It is determined whether or not c, tb, and ta have been reached (steps 8308, 5309, and 5310), but at this point in time immediately after the timer is started, the elapsed time T measured by the timer T has not reached the set time ta. Since there is no, step 8308. After the determination processing in steps 5309 and 5310 is completed, the "solenoid drive processing" of this cycle is completed.

In the next cycle and subsequent cycles, "Solenoid drive processing J" is large.

Since the winning opening opening flag F4 has already been set, step 3301. After executing the determination process in step 5302, the process moves to step 8308, and as described above, step 5308. Step 8309: Only the determination process of step 8310 is executed.

In this way, when it is determined that the elapsed time T measured by the timer T has reached the set time ta while the [solenoid drive process] of the predetermined circle now is repeatedly executed (step 3310), the CPLI 59 releases the magnetic excitation of the big winning opening solenoid 5OL1 and closes the blade 2.2 (step 5311), and determines whether the big winning opening opening flag F5 is set (step 8312>
Since the big winning opening opening flag F5 is not currently set, after the determination process in step 5312 is completed, the "solenoid drive process" of the cycle is ended.

In the [solenoid drive process] to be executed from the next cycle onwards, when it is determined that the elapsed time T set to 1 by the timer T has reached the set time tb (step 5309)
, the CPU 59 magnetically excites the big prize opening opening solenoid 5OL1 again to open the blades 2, 2 (Step 8313), and furthermore, when it is determined that the elapsed time T counted by the timer T has reached the set time tc. (Step 8308)
, the CPU 59 cancels the magnetic excitation of the big winning opening opening solenoid 5OL1 to close the blades 2, 2, while canceling the magnetic excitation of the character drive solenoid 5QL2 to move the movable member 31 to W.
retracting from the upper surface of the guide plate 30 and retracting the ball path varying piece 43 from the inner wall 35 (step 8314);
Reset the timer T and the big prize opening flag F4 (
Step 5315), the 1st solenoid drive process of the corresponding cycle is ended.

On the other hand, when a pachinko ball enters either the left or right type 2 starting opening 5.6, the left or right type 2 starting loss switches 5a, 6a detect the entry of the pachinko ball. The corresponding latch of the switch detection gls 62 is set, and in step 5105 of "winning ball detection processing", the left and right type 2 starting ports 5
．． 6 is confirmed, and the CPIJ 59 hits the starting entrance winning memory flag F2 (step 3107).
).

Step 83 in "Solenoid drive processing" of the same cycle
After confirming that the starting opening winning memory flag F2 is set in step 04, CPtJ59 magnetically excites the big winning opening opening solenoid 5OL1 to open the blade 2゜2 in step 83.
16) Start the timer T to start time measurement, while resetting the starting opening winning memory flag F2, setting the big winning opening 1flll & flag F4 and the big winning opening opening flag F5 (step 5317), and starting this cycle. End "Solenoid drive processing".

In the "solenoid drive process" from the next cycle onwards, the big prize opening opening flag F4 has already been set, so step 8
301. After executing the determination process in step 5302, the process moves to step 8308, and it is determined whether the elapsed time measured by the timer T has reached the set times tC, tb, and ta (step 8308, step 8309, step 5310). ), at this moment immediately after the timer starts, the elapsed time T set to S1 by the timer T is less than the set time ta, so step 8308, step 8309 . After the determination process in step 8310 is completed, the "solenoid drive process" of this cycle is ended.

In the "solenoid drive process" to be executed from the next cycle onwards, it is determined that the elapsed time T counted by the timer T has reached the set time ta (step 5310).
, CPtJ59 cancels the magnetic excitation of the big prize opening opening solenoid 5OL1 and closes the blade 2゜2 (step 5311),
It is determined whether the big winning opening opening flag F5 is set to 1~ (step 8312). In this case, left, right second
Since the big prize opening opening flag F5 has already been set based on the winning in the seed starting opening 5.6, the process moves to step 8318 after the determination processing in step 5312 is completed, and the timer T and the big winning opening opening flag F4. F5 is reset and the "solenoid drive process" of this cycle is ended.

That is, in this embodiment, when a pachinko ball enters the Middle East type 2 starting port 4, the grand prize opening opening solenoid 5QL1 is magnetically excited only during @ta (=E) at the time of setting, and the blade 2
．． 2 is released, the blades 2, 2 are released for a set time tb-t
It is closed only for a period of a, and is further closed for a set time tc-tb (=・
E), and the character solenoid 5QL2 is always magnetically excited during this period, and the set time tCIfi
While the movable member 31 is in contact with the upper surface of the guide plate 30 and the ball path varying piece 43 protrudes from the inner wall 35 (see timing chart 1- in FIG. 10), the left and right When a Pagoonco ball wins in the second type starting port 5.6, the grand prize opening opening solenoid 5OLI is magnetically excited only for the set time t a (-E) so that only the blade 2.2 is opened. It has become.

When the blades 2.2 are released in this way, it becomes possible for balls to enter the winning device 3, and when pachinko balls enter the winning device 3, these pachinko balls will eventually
A prize will be won in the various winning holes arranged in the winning space 26, that is, the special winning hole 38 or the winning hole 39.40, and the detection switches arranged in these winning holes will switch depending on the winning state. At the same time as setting the latch of the detection PA 62, the winning information stored in the switch detecting section 62 is transmitted to the CPU 59 in the above-mentioned "winning ball detection process".
This will be confirmed by

To briefly explain the flow of the pachinko balls that entered the entering *1H1i3, the pachinko balls that entered the winning device 3 first entered the winning space 26 and fell onto the guide plate 30, but at this time, Character-Solenoid 5QL2
is in a magnetically excited state, the movable member 31 having a wedge shape in horizontal cross section is in contact with the upper surface of the guide plate 30, so the pachinko balls moving on the guide plate 30 follow the wedge shape of the movable member 31. It hits the tip of the guide plate 30 and is distributed in the left and right direction, falling from the vRR of the guide plate 30, and colliding with the partition wall 3.
There is a high probability of entering the lower space 26b on the rear side partitioned by 6. In addition, when the character solenoid 80m2 is magnetically excited, the ball path varying piece 43 protrudes inward from the inner wall 35, so the pachinko ball that enters the lower space 26b on the rear side is moved to the inner wall 35. Partition wall 36 and rotating drum 3
It will be temporarily stored in the space surrounded by the second peripheral wall 32G. Since the rotation of the rotary drum 32 has already started at the same time as the Ii power is turned on, the rotation of the inner wall 35. The pachinko balls stored in the space surrounded by the partition wall 36 and the peripheral wall 32c of the rotating drum 32 are placed in the cutouts 32b, 32b in the peripheral wall 132c.
is taken into the inside of the rotating drum 32 through the cutout portions 32b, 32b while facing in the left-right direction, and the rotating drum 3
The rotary shaft 33 is rotatably supported by the rotary shaft 33 of the rotary shaft 3.
Due to the friction that exists between
The phase of the rotational position of the rotating body 34 with respect to 3 is changed.

When the rotating drum 32 further rotates and one of the notches 32b, 32b reaches near the bottom dead center, the pachinko balls in the rotating drum 32 pass through the one notch 32b to the bottom surface 4.
1 and transferred toward the front on the TR fattening plate 37 in the space on the front side partitioned by the partition wall 36,
Finally, the player wins either the special prize opening 38 or the prize opening 39°39. In addition, the inner wall 35. Before the pachinko balls temporarily stored in the space surrounded by the partition wall 36 and the peripheral wall 32c of the rotating drum 32 are taken inside the rotating drum 32, the magnetic excitation of the character solenoid 5QL2 is released and the ball path varying piece 43 retreats from the inner wall 35, the pachinko balls whose lower part was supported by the ball path variable piece 43 fall as they are, and are placed at the left and right lower ends of the rear lower space 26b partitioned by the partition wall 36. The prize will be won in prize opening 40.

On the other hand, if the character solenoid 5QL2 is in a non-magnetically excited state when the pachinko ball enters the winning space 26, the movable member 31 is retracted above the guiding plate 30,
After the pachinko ball moves on the guide plate 30 without being interfered with by the movable member 31, it falls from the rear edge of the guide plate 30 and reaches a distance of W! It enters the lower space 26b on the rear side partitioned by 36. The pachinko balls that fell from the approximate center of the rear edge of the guiding plate 30 collide with the peripheral wall 32 of the rotating drum 32.
If the cutout portions 32b, 32b at C are in a state in which they face in the left-right direction, they fall onto the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 32c and are distributed in the left-right direction, usually forming a lower space 26b on the rear side partitioned by a partition wall 36. Prize opening 4 established at the lower left and right ends of
0, but if the direction in which the pachinko balls are distributed is opposite to the rotation direction of the rotating drum 32, the peripheral wall 32
During the time lag during which the pachinko ball falls onto the outer peripheral surface of c and rebounds again, one notch 32b in the peripheral wall 32c rotates toward the top dead center, and the notch 32
Pachinko balls may be taken into the rotating drum 32 via b. In this case, the pachinko balls taken into the rotating drum 32 are transferred to the rotating body 3 that rotates together with the rotating drum 32.
The rotating body 3 with respect to the rotating shaft 33
After changing the phase of the rotation position 4, the other cutout 32
It is discharged onto the bottom surface 41 via b, moves toward the front on the guidance plate 37 in the space on the front side partitioned by the partition wall 36, and finally enters either the special winning opening 38 or the winning opening 39. Win a crab. In addition, the pachinko balls that fall from the left and right ends of the sliding door of the guide plate 30 fall vertically and enter the winning slots 40 provided at the lower left and right ends of the rear lower space 26b partitioned by the partition wall 36. I will do it.

Then, when a pachinko ball enters the special winning opening 38, the accessory continuous operation swing 38a detects the entry of the pachinko ball, sets the corresponding latch of the switch detection unit 62 to 1~, and the CPU 59 Step 5101 of “Sphere detection processing”
After reading the information of the switch detection unit 62 at step 8108, the ball enters the special winning slot 38 (step 8108), and the number of continuous fl moving slot winnings is 2t! By adding 1 to the 1 counter C1, the number of winnings to the special winning hole 38 is stored (step 8109).

Step 53 in "Solenoid drive processing" of the same cycle
05, the CPU 59 confirms that the numerical value is stored in the continuous operation opening winning number storage counter C1, starts the timer T to start time measurement, and at the same time switches the solenoid that memorizes the switching operation of the big winning opening opening solenoid 5OL1. Signal S, set time selection index i and continuous open flag F6
5319), and below, the big prize opening opening solenoid 5OL1. -tV plaque solenoid 5QL2. The grand prize opening opening solenoid 5QL1 drives the blade 2.2, which is a movable piece, based on the set values in the ROM 60 that stores the drive duration time of the motor M, the driving body stop time, etc.
Driving processing such as the following will be started.

The CPU 59 first reads the i-th switching time ti from the ROM 60 that stores the timing chart of the switching time ti (see FIG. 11), and stores it in the switching time storage register R (t
5320), the elapsed time T measured by the timer T is stored in the switching time storage register R(t).
It is determined whether the value of , that is, the i-th switching time ti has been reached (step 8321), but if the elapsed time T measured by the timer T has not reached the i-th switching time ti, Next, the process moves to step 5322, and it is determined whether the value of the big winning opening winning number storage counter C2 is 3, that is, whether three pachinko balls have been won in the winning device 3. If the value of the big winning opening winning number storage counter C2 is 3, the character solenoid 5QL2 is magnetically excited to bring the movable member 31 into contact with the upper surface of the guiding plate 30, and the ball path varying piece 43. is made to protrude from the inner wall 35 (step 5323), while the big winning opening winning number memory counter C? If the value of is other than 3, the step 5323
The process moves to step 5324 without executing the process. Next, it is determined whether or not the value of the grand prize opening winning number memory counter C2 is 7, that is, whether or not 7 pachinko balls have been won in the winning device 3 (step 8324), and the number of winning openings is determined. If the value of the storage counter C2 is 7, the counter C2
When it is detected that the value of 2 becomes 3, the magnetic excitation of the magnetically excited character solenoid 5QL2 is released, the movable member 31 is retracted above the guide plate 30, and the ball path variable piece 43 is moved inside IJ35. The rotary drum 32 and the rotary body 34 are evacuated from the rotary drum 32 and the rotary body 34 by
(Step 8325). in this case,
By confirming the input of the fixed position detection signal from the rotating body fixed position detection switch 57, the notch 3 of the rotating drum 32 is detected.
Since the driving of the rotary drum 32 is stopped with 2b and 32b facing up and down as shown in FIG. 3, the pachinko balls once taken into the rotary drum 32 are The probability of winning a prize in the prize opening 38 increases. Further, if the value of the big winning opening winning number storage counter C2 is other than 7, the process moves to step 8326 without executing the process of step $325. Next, in step 8326), it is determined whether or not the value of the grand prize opening winning number memory counter C2 is 10 or more, that is, whether 10 or more pachinko balls have won in the winning device 3 (step 8326). If the value of the number of winnings memory counter C2 is 10 or more, the magnetic excitation of the big winning opening opening solenoid 5OLI is released to close the blade 2.2 (if SOLI is magnetically excited), and the character drive solenoid is The magnetic excitation of 5OL2 is canceled and the movable member 31 is retracted above the guide plate 30 (if SQL2 is magnetically excited) (step 3327), and the value of the big winning opening winning number memory counter C2 becomes 7. When this is detected, the stopped motor M is restarted to restart the rotation of the rotating drum 32 and the rotating body 34. Step 8
328),? ! VC operation number of operation number of winnings memory counter C
Subtract 1 from 1 to remember that one consecutive opening operation based on the winning in the special winning hole 38 has been completed, and calculate the number of pachinko balls that won in the person t'f equipment 3 during the one consecutive opening operation. Reset the big winning opening winning number storage counter C2 to be stored and the continuous opening flag F6 to store that one continuous opening operation is in progress (step 8329), reset the timer T (step 5330), and check the operating state of the pachinko machine. After returning to the initial state, the "solenoid drive process" for this cycle ends. In addition, since the value of the continuous operation opening winning number memory counter C1 is not reset, the continuous opening operation of the blade 2゜2 is repeatedly executed every time the value of the counter C1 is confirmed in step 305 of "Solenoid drive process". However, in this embodiment, the number of repetitions of the continuous opening operation based on the pachinko ball that enters the special winning hole 38 during one continuous opening operation is limited to 10 times. Further, if it is determined in step 8326 that the value of the big winning opening entry 'R loss memory counter C2 is less than 10, the processes from step 8327 to step 5330 are not executed.
Determination processing in step 8326]! I! After the completion, the [solenoid drive process] of this cycle ends.

On the other hand, in step 5321, timer T causes 4
If it is determined that the elapsed time T has reached the i-th switching time ti, then it is determined whether the value of the solenoid switching signal S is 1 or -1 (step 8331). . If the value of the solenoid switching signal S is 1, as shown in FIG.
・That is, it is the time to magnetically excite the big prize opening opening solenoid 5OL1 and open the movable blades 2, 2.
Moving to step 5332, the big winning opening opening solenoid 8
011 is magnetically excited to open the blades 2, 2, and if the value of the solenoid switching signal S is -1, as shown in FIG. 11, i=2.4.6..., that is, Since it is time to cancel the magnetic excitation of the grand prize opening opening solenoid 5OL1 and close the blades 2.2, the process moves to step 5333, and the magnetic excitation of the grand prize opening opening solenoid SO[1 is canceled and the blades 2.2. 2 to r11 chain. For example, if the value of the liI selection index 1 at the time of setting is 1, the value of the solenoid switching jig pull S is 1, and in step 5321, the elapsed time T counted by the timer T reaches the first switching time t1. At the current moment when it is determined that the blade 2.2 has been opened for the first time, the blade 2.2 is opened for the first time based on the value of the solenoid switching signal 5 (=1) (see FIG. 11).

Next, in step 8334, it is determined whether the value of the set time selection index i is 10, that is, whether this processing cycle is the cycle for executing the fifth opening of the blade 2.2.
), if the value of the set time selection index i is 10, the character drive solenoid 5OL2 is magnetically excited, and the fifth
Possible with the closing of the second time! Induction plate 3 for Is material 31
0, and the ball path varying piece 43 is brought into contact with the inner wall 3.
5 (step 8335), if the value of the set time selection index i is other than 10, the step 5
The process moves to step 3336 without executing the process of 335. Next, in step 8, it is determined whether or not the value of the set time selection index 1 is 29, that is, whether or not this processing cycle is the cycle in which the blades 2, 2 are opened for the 15th time.
336) , Set time selection phase Ie: If the value of i is 29, cancel the magnetic excitation of the character drive solenoid 5QL2 which was magnetically excited with the fifth closure of the blade 2.2,
When the blade 2.2 is opened for the 15th time, the movable member 31 is retracted from the upper surface of the guide plate 30, the ball path variable piece 43 is retracted from the inner wall 35, and the drive of the motor M is stopped to remove the rotary drum. 32 and the rotating body 34 (step 8341), and if the value of the set time selection index i is other than 29, the drive of the rotating body 34 is stopped (step 8341).
The process moves to step 5337 without executing the process. Next, whether the value of the rrA selection index i at the time of setting is 36,
That is, step 83 determines whether this processing cycle is the cycle for executing the 18th chain opening of blades 2:2.
37) If the value of the set time selection index i is not 36, the process moves to step 5338. Next, the setting time selection index i
is updated by adding 1 to the value of index i (step 3338), and the i-th switching time t is determined from the ROM 60 based on the value of the index i.
i is read and stored in the switching time storage register R(t) (step 5339), the sign of the solenoid switching signal S is inverted (step 8340), and the "solenoid drive process" of this cycle is completed. Therefore, the sign of the solenoid switching signal S is IFllti at the time of switching when the elapsed time T counted as 81 o'clock by the timer T is stored in the ROM 60.
Each time the big winning opening opening solenoid 5OL1 is switched, the big winning opening opening solenoid 5OL1 is driven based on the timing chart (see FIG. 11) stored in the ROM 60. A continuous opening operation of the blade 2°2, which is a movable piece, will be performed. Further, if it is determined in step 5337 that the value of the set time selection index i is 36, this indicates that the closing of the blade 2.2 has already been executed for the 18th time in the [solenoid drive process] in this cycle. In this example, the blade 2.2
Since all the continuous opening operations are completed, step 8328
Then, the drive of the motor M that was stopped due to the opening of the 15th [nl] of the blade 2゜2 is restarted, the rotational drive of the rotary drum 32 and the rotary body 34 is restarted, and the number of continuous operation opening winnings is stored. Subtract 1 from the value of the counter C1 to memorize that one consecutive opening operation based on winning the special prize opening 38 has been completed,
Reset the large winning opening winning number storage counter C2 that stores the number of pachinko balls that won in the winning device 3 during the one consecutive opening operation and the continuous opening flag F6 that stores that one consecutive opening operation is in progress (Step 5329) , the timer T is reset (step 8330), the operating state of the pachinko machine is returned to the initial state, and the "solenoid drive process" of this cycle is ended.

As described above, the big prize opening solenoid 8011 that drives the movable blade 2.2 is driven based on the set time ti stored in the ROM 60, as shown in the timing chart of FIG. ! ! However, in this embodiment, the driving duration, that is, the blade 2
．． Set the incremental m of opening time of blade 2.2 to time A. On the other hand, the driver stop time, i.e. rFls of vane 2.2.
By setting the time incremental Q to four types, A, B, C, and D, the operations of the blades 2.2 are diversified.

In the case of this embodiment, the opening time of the blades 2 and rIl! 1
One hour is determined by the time difference between the set time ti and t1 (i=i+1), so the set time ti
It goes without saying that the opening time and closing time of the blades 2.2 can be arbitrarily set by changing . For example, as in this embodiment, the opening time of the blades 2, 2 may be kept constant and only the chain opening time may be changed;
You can keep the closing time constant and only change the opening time,
Both the closing time and the opening time may be changed.

In addition, in this embodiment, the character solenoid 5OL2 that drives the movable member 31 and the ball path variable piece 43, and the motor M that drives the rotating drum 32 and the rotating body 34 are basically set using the settings stored in the ROM 60. Since the drive is controlled based on the time ti, the operations of the movable member 311, the ball path variable piece 43, the rotating drum 322, and the rotating body 34 are also as follows:
For example, by changing the comparison value for the set time selection index i in step 5334 or step 8336, 'uJa' can be adjusted as appropriate.

Further, the movable member 311 ball path varying piece 43 and the rotating drum 321 rotating body 34 are respectively made into second and third movable pieces,
The drive may be controlled by setting a plurality of driving times and driving body stopping times separately from the blades 2, 2. For example, between step 5335 and step 8336 in FIG. 9(b) which shows the "solenoid drive process" of this embodiment, the characteran lens 5QL2 and the motor M are switched based on the value of the set time selection index 1. By adding the steps to be executed, it is possible to obtain substantially the same effect as when setting a plurality of types of drive time and driving body stop time of the character solenoid 8012 and the motor M.

In addition, the timing chart shown in FIG. 11 is based on the big winning opening opening solenoid 5OL1. Character-Solenoid 5QL2. This shows the basic operating state of the motor M. In particular, regarding the character solenoid S012 and the motor M, switching of operations is not necessarily performed at the timing shown in FIG. That is, when the continuous opening operation of the blade 2.2 is started, the blade 2.
If three pachinko balls are won in the winning device H3 earlier than the fifth closing of ゜2, the character renoids will be closed without having the fifth opening of the feathers 2 and 2. 5QL2 is magnetically excited (Step 8323)
, In addition, 711 pachinko balls were placed in the winning device 3 at a time earlier than the 15th release of the feathers 2 and 2.
In this case, the magnetic excitation of the character solenoid 5QL2 is canceled without the 15th opening of the blade 2.2, and the drive of the motor M is stopped (step 5).
325). In addition, if 10 or more bug balls are won in the winning device 3 earlier than the 18th mgx of blades 2 and 2 is executed, the 18th mgx of blades 2.2 will be closed. One continuous opening operation is completed without holding the prize (step 8327 to step $330). In this embodiment, in addition to the time control of the character solenoid 5OL2 and the motor M, By using the control based on the number of winnings in combination, it is possible to operate the movable piece 31°, the ball path varying piece 439, the rotating drum 322, the rotating body 34, etc. more frequently.

Effects of the Invention According to the input IF device for a pachinko machine of the present invention, the pachinko balls that have flowed into the winning space are sorted and sorted by the movable member that appears and disappears, and also pass through the winning space without being sorted, and further, By the appearance and reappearance of another movable member placed in the rear stroke, the pachinko balls are stored, released, and flowed out, giving pachinko balls unprecedented complex movements, making it possible to develop a more interesting game. .
