In such a system, when a power switch (not shown) is turned on and power is supplied to the pachinko game machine, the solenoid 291, 2 is in a normal gaming state.
91 is stopped and the movable members 23.23 are in a state of closing the inflow ports 22a, 22a to the lower winning space 21 of the variable winning device 10. Further, the solenoid 340 is stopped, and the fluctuation guide members 30c, 30c are in a state of retreating to the rearmost position. Further, the solenoid 325 is stopped, the opening/closing door 34 is in a closed state, and the storage space 27 is defined. Furthermore, the motor 401 alternately rotates clockwise and counterclockwise, and therefore the storage ball guide member 31 swings left and right. Also, jackpot re-ramp 3
7,322,323.348, the continuation condition fulfillment indicator lamp 324 and the decorative lamp 347 are in an extinguished state.

Further, the number of continuations display 35 and the number of winnings display 36 are in the state of displaying "O". Other game display sections display normal games.

a (SW,), 4 a (SW,), the corresponding one is turned on and the detection signal is sent to the low-pass filter 6.
30, it is input to a buffer gate 614 of a microcomputer 610. Thereafter, the solenoid 391.391 is activated by an operation command signal from the microcomputer 610 based on the input signal, and the movable member 23.23 is activated once (in the case of winning the special prize opening 5, 5 for opening once) or It is opened and closed twice (when a prize is won in the special winning opening 4 for opening twice). In addition, specific winning opening 5゜5.4
When a prize is won and the movable members 23 and 23 are opened and closed once or twice, the solenoids 340 and 325 are activated by a command from the microcomputer 610, and the fluctuation guiding member 3
0 c and 30 c move back and forth at a predetermined fast speed, and the opening/closing door 34 is shifted to the open state. In particular, if you win the special prize opening 4 for opening twice, the movable member 23.23 will be 2
When it is opened and closed twice, the operation command signal from the microcomputer 610 causes the storage ball guiding member 31 to move in the direction in which it was rotating like a pendulum at the time when it entered the specific winning hole 4 (when stopped, in the direction of the previous operation) ) to a predetermined speed (for example,
31.25 times/min) for a predetermined period of time (for example, 3.5 seconds), then rotates in a direction close to the bottom and returns to normal operation,
The predetermined speed (31
, 25 times/min). The above predetermined time (3
, 5 seconds), the storage ball guide member 31 returns to its pendulum-like motion after completing one and a half revolutions.

In addition, when the movable member 23.23 is opened and closed twice by winning the specific winning openings 5, 5 for opening once, the storage ball guide member 31 moves to the specific winning openings 5, 5 by the operation command signal from the microcomputer 610. The pendulum is rotated in the direction in which it was rotating at the time the prize was won (if stopped, the direction of movement immediately before that) at a predetermined speed (e.g., 31.25 times/min) for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 2°5 seconds). After rotating, it rotates in a nearly downward direction to return to normal operation, and is operated at the predetermined speed (31, 25 times/min) until the end of the effective time when the continuation condition is met. By giving the above-mentioned predetermined time (2.5 seconds), the storage ball guide member 31 rotates twice and then returns to its pendulum-like motion.

In this way, when the movable member 23.23 is opened, the game ball that jumps into the upper prize winning space 22 of the variable prize winning device 10 flows down in the flow guide passage 245 and reaches its exit 24.
When flowing out from 5b toward the center of the diversion space 26, the rolling direction is changed by the fluctuation guide members 30c, 30C, and then the game ball accidentally enters the special prize opening 28 within a predetermined valid time. When the special winning detector 28 a (SW, ) is turned on, the detection signal is passed through a low-pass filter 630 to remove high frequency components, and then input to the buffer gate 614 of the microcomputer 610 to activate the special game mode. generated.

When a special game mode is generated, the microcomputer 6
10 CPU 611 executes the special game execution control program written in the ROM 612 according to the special game execution control program written in the ROM 612.
It performs arithmetic processing based on the fixed storage data in the microcomputer 610 , and outputs a command based on the result of the calculation to the sound generator 650 and to the outside of the microcomputer 610 via the output port 15 . microcomputer 61
Sound generator 65 based on the command signal from O
0, a sound such as a fanfare to notify the occurrence of a special game is generated, and after being amplified by the amplifier 660, the sound is sent to the speaker 68.
A sound is emitted from 0. At the same time, the solenoids 340 and 325 are activated by a command from the microcomputer 610, causing the fluctuation guide members 30c and 30c to move back and forth at a predetermined fast speed, and the opening/closing door 34 is shifted to the open state.

Further, the operation command signal from the microcomputer 610 causes the storage ball guide member 31 to move counterclockwise at a predetermined speed (for example, 31.25 rotations/minute). During this preparation period (6 seconds), the storage ball guiding member 3
1 will rotate approximately 3 times. Then, the preparation period (
6 seconds), the solenoids 391, 391 are activated and the movable members 23, 23 are continuously opened and closed at a predetermined speed. Further, after the preparation period has elapsed, the solenoid 325 is operated by a command from the microcomputer 610 to move the fluctuation guiding members 30c, 30c back and forth at a predetermined fast speed until a predetermined condition is satisfied, and further thereafter,
When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the solenoid 325 is moved back and forth at the same fast speed as during the preparation period based on a command from the microcomputer 610. Also, during the opening/closing operation of the movable members 23, 23, the solenoid 325 is activated by a command from the microcomputer 610 to maintain the opening/closing door 34 in the closed state, and after that, the opening/closing door 34 is shifted to the open state for a predetermined period and then closed again. will be migrated. Further, until a predetermined condition is satisfied after the preparatory period has elapsed, the motor 40 is operated by an operation command signal from the microcomputer 610, and the storage ball guide member 31 is swung left and right by about 40', and then, When a predetermined condition is met, the stored ball guide member 31 is swung left and right by approximately 70', and further thereafter, when a predetermined condition is met, the stored ball guide member 31 is swung left and right by 120'. Ru. Therefore, the storage ball guide member 31 rotates counterclockwise during the preparation period, and after the preparation period has passed, the shaking becomes progressively larger in three stages: small amplitude, small amplitude, and large amplitude as the predetermined condition is satisfied. Accordingly, the state of guiding the game balls in the storage space 27 by the storage ball guiding member 31 changes greatly, and the guiding direction, guiding speed, etc. of the guided game balls change accordingly. This gives the player a sense of expectation of winning a prize in the special winning hole 28, and the change visually informs the player that it is the first half, middle half, or second half of the special game.

As for the control contents that give special benefits in the special game mode executed here, for example, one cycle (however, When a predetermined number of game balls flow into the lower winning space 21 before the 18 activation/stop operations are completed, the count switch 41
(SW,) 41 The count number of the detection signal sent from (SW, ) to the microcomputer 610 via the low-pass filter 630 is a predetermined number (for example, "10
''), or when a game ball enters the special winning slot 28 and the special winning detector 28a (SW4) is turned on and the detection signal is input to the microcomputer 610, one cycle is completed up to that point. ), and on the condition that a game ball enters the special winning slot 28 during each cycle, the special winning detector 28 a (SW, ) is turned on, and the detection signal is input to the microcomputer 610. Including this, the operation will be performed for up to eight cycles. In that case, by entering a prize into the special prize opening 28 during each cycle, the special prize detector 28
a (5W4) is turned on and its detection signal is input to the microcomputer 610, the microcomputer 610 outputs a display command signal and displays the continuation count display 3.
The number of cycles (number of continuations) is displayed at 5, and a stop command signal is issued to the solenoids 391, 391, 34.
0,325 is stopped and the movable member 23.23 is "ha"
The fluctuation guide members 30 c, 30 are in a closed state in the shape of a square.
c returns to the retracted state, and the opening/closing door 34 returns to the closed state after being opened for a predetermined time and stops. Also, motor 4
When 01 rotates to the position (initial position) where the detection piece (magnetic part) 298a of the position detection member 298 on the rotating shaft 32 is detected by the position detector 300 (MSW), the swing operation shifts to the normal state. After that, a new cycle similar to the first cycle is started. Count switch 41 (SW,) that detects the number of prizes won during each cycle
, 41 (SW,) is displayed on the winning number display 36 according to a command from the microcomputer 610. Furthermore, when updating the cycle, the number in the seven segments of the number of continuations display 35 is incremented by one in response to a display command from the microcomputer 610.

When a game ball flows into the diverting space 26 during this special game, the rolling direction of the game ball is randomly changed by the fluctuation guide members 30c, 30c, and the downward guide inclined portions 285 provided at both ends of the diverting shelf 25, etc. The balls fall into the storage space 27 on the front side, and then directly flow into the general prize opening 33 or are pushed up by the storage ball guiding member 31 and reach the branching space 26 again, where they are given a chance to flow into the special prize opening 28. .

When the special game cycle continues and reaches the 8th cycle (final cycle), a display command signal is output from the microcomputer 610 to the continuation count display 35, and "8", which is the final cycle, is displayed, and the solenoid 3
A command signal is output to 91, 391, 340.
, 30c move back and forth at a high speed, and the opening/closing door 34 becomes open. Further, after the motor 401 is activated by an operation command signal from the microcomputer 610 and the storage bulb guiding member 31 rotates for a predetermined period (6 seconds),
It is swung in large increments of 20 degrees.

During the special game, various display commands are issued to other game display sections to display the special game status and other information.

FIGS. 9(A) and 9(B) are flowcharts showing a program of the game processing procedure performed by the control chip microcomputer 610 from the normal gaming state to the generation of special game rights.
For example, once every 10 m5). In the figure, the reference numeral 3n (n=1°2, . . . ) indicates each step of the flow.

First, when the power is turned on to the pachinko game machine, in step S10, the various decorative display lamps 347 are set to the normal game display state, and the winning number display on the winning number display 36 of the variable winning winning device 10 and the number of consecutive winnings display 35 are switched on. Set the continuation count display to rOJ display, and set the movable member operation timers I, II,
After performing initial settings such as resetting the valid time timer, variable display timer, wait timer, special game timer, continuation number counter, etc., the process moves to step Sll.

In step Sll, a game ball enters the special prize opening 5.5 for opening once, and the special prize detector 5a (SW or SW,
) is turned on, and when it is determined that it is not turned on, step $24 (Figure 9 (B))
, and when it is determined that it is turned on, step S
12.

In step S12, a valid time timer is set (for example, 4.7 seconds) to be the special prize valid time when a prize is won in the one-time special winning opening 5゜5.
By activating the L//id 325 (SQL C), the opening/closing door 34 is kept open for 9.7 seconds, for example, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the opening/closing door 34 is maintained in the open state for 5 seconds after the expiration of the above-mentioned effective time (4.7 seconds). Next, in step S14, the solenoid 340
(SQL B) is turned on (0.2 seconds)/off (0.2 seconds) to move the fluctuation guide members 30c, 30c back and forth at a high speed as shown in FIG. 12, and in step S15, the motor 401 (M) for 2.degree. and 5 seconds, for example, to rotate the storage ball guide member 31 one rotation as shown in FIG. Next, step S16
Movable member 23.2 from the time of winning to specific winning openings 5, 5.
Set the wait time (for example, 1.2 seconds) until solenoid 391 (SQ
The movable member 23.23 is opened and closed once by turning on LA) for, for example, 0.3 seconds.

In step S18, it is determined whether or not a game ball enters the special winning hole 28 during the preliminary game and the special winning detector 28a (SW, ) is turned on.

As a result, when it is determined that the special prize detector 28a (SW) is not turned on, it is determined in step S19 whether or not the time set in the valid time timer has elapsed (time over).

As a result, if the special winning prize detector 28a (SW, ) is not turned on before the valid time timer times up, the solenoid 340 (SQ, ) is not turned on in step S20.
L B) is stopped (demagnetized), the motor 401 (M) is returned to the normal operating state in step S21, and step 524 is performed.
(Move to FIG. 9(B)). As a result, the storage ball guide member 31 (M) returns to the normal operation shown in FIG. 11 in which it swings clockwise and counterclockwise alternately by about 40' at a speed of 15,625 times/minute. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 818 that the special winning detector 28a (SW, ) is turned on before determining that the time has expired in step S, the valid time timer is reset in step S22, and then the process moves to step S23. Then, a special game process to be described later is executed, and then the process moves to step 524 (FIG. 9(B)) and a normal game process is executed.

In step S24, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won in the twice-opening specific winning opening 4 and the specific winning detector 4a (SW,) has been turned on. If it has been determined that it has not been turned on, the process directly proceeds to step Sll. Returning, when it is determined that it is turned on, the process moves to step S25.

In step S25, a valid time timer is set (for example, 6.5 seconds) to be the special winning valid time when a prize is won in the double-opening special winning slot 4, and in step S26, the solenoid 325 (SQL C) is activated, for example. By operating for 11.5 seconds, the opening/closing door 34 is opened as shown in FIG.
, for example, for 11.5 seconds. Therefore, the opening/closing door 34 is maintained in the open state for 5 seconds after the expiry of the above-mentioned effective time (6.5 seconds). Next, in step S27, the solenoid 340 (SQL B) is turned on (0.2 seconds)/off (0.2 seconds) to move the fluctuation guiding members 30c, 30c back and forth at a fast speed, as shown in FIG. Then, in step 328, the motor 401(M) is rotated for, for example, 3.5 seconds to rotate the storage ball guide member 31 twice as shown in FIG. Next, in step S29, a wait time (for example, 1.2 seconds) is set from the time of winning the twice-opening specific winning opening 4 until the movable member 23.23 is opened, and in step S30, the solenoid 391 (SQL A) is set. 2 as shown in Figure 13.
By turning on and off twice, the movable member 23.23 is opened and closed twice, for example, for 0.7 seconds each.

In step S31, it is determined whether or not a game ball has won in the special winning hole 28 during the preliminary game and the special winning detector 28a (SW, ) has been turned on.

As a result, when it is determined that the special prize detector 28a (SW) is not turned on, it is determined in step S32 whether or not the time set in the valid time timer has elapsed (time over).

As a result, if the special winning prize detector 28a (SW, ) is not turned on until the valid time timer times up, the solenoid 340 (SQ, ) is not turned on in step S33.
LB) is stopped (demagnetized), the motor 401 (M) is returned to the normal operating state in step S34, and the motor 401 (M) is returned to the normal operating state in step Sll.
Return to On the other hand, before it is determined in step S32 that the time has expired, the special prize detector 28 is activated in step S31.
When it is determined that a (SW4) is turned on, the effective time timer is reset in step S35, and then the process moves to step S36 to execute a special game process to be described later.
Thereafter, the process returns to step 5ll (FIG. 9(A)) to continue the normal game process.

Figure 10 (A), (B), (C), (D)
is a flowchart showing a program of special game processing (jackpot processing) procedure performed by the control chip microcomputer 610, and when a special game occurs in steps S23 and 336 during program execution shown in FIG. 9, this program executes interrupt processing. be done.

When the special game process is started, first, step 5100
The continuation number counter inside the microcomputer 610 is reset (continuation number counter ←O), and step 5I
Set the wait timer at OI to, for example, 6 seconds. Although not shown here, when the special game process is started, the speaker 680 starts producing sound effects, and the jackpot lamps 37, 322, 323, 34
A special game display is started, such as blinking 8 or converting the decorative display lamp 347 to a special game display state.

In step 5102, initial settings are made to reset the opening/closing number counter (opening/closing number counter←O) L, and in step 5103, reset the prize winning number counter (winning prize number counter O). Then, in step 5104, solenoid 3
91 (SQL A) is stopped (demagnetized), the movable member 23.23 is returned to the closed state, and the solenoid 340 (SQL B) is turned on (0.5 seconds)/off (0.5 seconds) in step 5105. As shown in FIG. 14(A), the fluctuation guide members 30c, 30c are moved back and forth at a slower speed than during the preliminary game. Next, in step 5106, the solenoid (SQL C) is turned on to open the opening/closing door 34, and in step 5107, the motor 4 is turned on.
01 (M) counterclockwise at a predetermined speed (for example, 31.
Figure 14 (A) by rotating at a speed of 25 times/min).
Rotate the storage ball guiding member 31 about three times as shown in FIG.

In step 3108, has the preparation period (6 seconds) set in the wait timer elapsed (has it timed out?)
If the time is over, step 510 is executed.
9, and if the preparation period (wait time) is not reached, the process remains at step 5108 and the determination is continued. In other words, this wait time is for the movable member 23°23, the fluctuation guide members 30c, 30c, and the opening/closing door 3.
4 and the storage ball guide member 31 are in a predetermined operating state, the process waits for this wait time to end, and then proceeds to step 5109.

In step 5109, it is determined whether the number of continuations of the special game has reached the maximum number of continuations of "8" (number of continuations ≤ 8), and if it is determined that the number of continuations has reached "8", the special game is not allowed to continue any more. It is determined that it is not possible, and the process proceeds to step 5118. (
10(B)). On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of times has not reached "8 times", the solenoid 391 (SQL A) is turned on (0.8 seconds)/off (
0°8 seconds), the movable member 23.23 is slowly and continuously opened and closed as shown in FIG.
By turning on (1 second) and off (1 second) the fluctuation guiding member 30c as shown in FIG. 14(A).
, 30c back and forth at a slow speed. Next, in step 5113, the solenoid 325 (SQL C) is turned off to close the opening/closing door 34, and in step 5112, the motor 401 (M) is rotated to swing the storage ball guiding member 31 approximately 40 inches left and right. make it move.

In step Sl14, it is determined whether or not a game ball has entered the special winning hole 28 and the special winning detector 28a (5W4) has been turned on after the special game cycle has started, in other words, whether the continuation condition is satisfied. If it is determined that the conditions are not satisfied, the process proceeds to step 3118 (FIG. 10(B)), and if it is determined that the conditions are satisfied, the process proceeds to step 3115.

As a result, when the process moves to step 5115, the continuation count counter is incremented by "10 l" in step 5115, and the continuation count display 35 is increased in step 5116.
After updating the display, the display of the number of winnings is reset in step 5117, and then the process returns to step 5IOI to execute the operation of the new continuation number of special games.

In steps 5118 and 5119 of FIG. 10(B), the count switches 41 (SW, ), 41 are activated by the inflow of game balls into the winning space 21 at the bottom of the variable winning device 10.
(SW, ) is turned on, and if it is determined that it is turned on, the prize winning counter is incremented by "+" J count in step 5120, and the process moves to step 5121, and if it is not turned on, When it is determined that the number of prizes won has reached "4", the process directly proceeds to step 5121.
If it is determined that it has not reached "4", it is determined in step 5122 whether the number of opening/closing counter has reached "6" (the number of opening/closing counter ≥6).
) or not. As a result of these determinations, when the number of prize winnings counter reaches "4" or the number of opening/closing counter reaches r6J, it is determined that the special game is in the middle stage, and the process moves to step 5123, and the number of winning prizes counter reaches "4". If the number of opening/closing counters does not reach "4" and the number of opening/closing counters does not reach "6", step 5128 (FIG. 10(C))
to move to.

In step 5123, it is determined whether or not the number of prizes won counter has reached "7" (the number of prizes won counter ≧7), and "7" is determined.
If it is determined that the opening/closing number counter has not reached "12J" in step 5124, it is determined whether or not (opening/closing number counter ≧12).As a result of these determinations, the prize winning number counter becomes "7". or when the opening/closing counter reaches ``12J'', it is determined that the special game is in the middle and the process moves to step 5125, where the solenoid 340 (SQLB) is turned on (0.5 seconds)/off ( 0.5 seconds), the fluctuation guiding members 30c, 30c as shown in FIG.
Move back and forth, and in step $126 motor 401 (M)
By activating this, the storage ball guide member 31 is swung left and right by approximately 70'. On the other hand, the prize winning counter is "7".
'' and the opening/closing counter does not reach ``12'', the motor 401 (M) is operated in step 5127 to move the storage ball guide member 3■ to the left and right by about 7 seconds.
Swing by 0'.

In step 5128, it is determined whether or not the prize winning number counter has reached "lO" (winning prize number counter ≧10), and r
If it is determined that the limit has not been reached, step 51
In step 29, it is determined whether the opening/closing number counter has reached "18" (opening/closing number counter≧18). As a result of these determinations, when the number of winnings counter reaches rlOJ or the number of opening/closing counter reaches "18", it is determined that one cycle of the special game has ended, and the process moves to step 5130, and the number of winnings counter reaches "18". If the number of opening/closing counters does not reach ``10'' and the number of opening/closing counters does not reach ``18J,'' it is determined that one cycle of the special game is in progress, and the process proceeds to step 511.
Return to 4.

In step Sl 30, a valid time timer is set (for example, 3.2 seconds) to set the valid time for the continuation condition to be satisfied, and in step 5131, the solenoid 391 (SQ
LA) is turned off. Then, in step 5132, solenoid 325 (SQL C) is turned on (e.g.
8.2 seconds), the opening/closing door 34 is returned to the open state after being kept open for 8.2 seconds. Next, in step 5133, it is determined whether a game ball enters the special winning hole 28 and the special winning detector 28a (SW4) is turned on within the valid time period for establishing the continuation condition after the special game cycle is started. In other words, it is determined whether the continuation condition is satisfied, and when it is determined that the continuation condition is satisfied, step 311
Returning to step 5, if it is determined that the condition is not satisfied, the process moves to step 5134. In step 5134, step 5
Valid time (3
, 2 seconds) have elapsed (time over), and if the time is over, the special prize detector 28a (SW4)
If it is determined that the is not turned on, the process moves to step 5135, and if the time has not exceeded, the process proceeds to step 5.
Return to 133.

In step 5152, the solenoid 340 (S○L B
) is stopped (demagnetized), and the motor 40 is stopped (demagnetized) in step 5136.
1(M) is placed in a normal operating state as shown in FIG. Next, the special game is ended by resetting the number of continuations display in step 5137 and resetting the number of winnings display in step 5138, and then, as shown in FIG.
Return to the normal game program shown in (B).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 5109 (FIG. 10(A)) that the number of continuations of the special game has reached the maximum number of continuations, which is "8 times", the special game cannot be continued any further, and therefore, as shown in FIG. 10(D). The process moves to step 5200 of the eighth consecutive flow shown in FIG.

In step 5200, the solenoid 391 (SQLA
) is turned on (0.8 seconds) and turned off (0.8 seconds), the movable member 23.23
is slowly opened and closed, and in step 5201, the motor 401 (M) is rotated greatly, thereby largely rotating the storage ball guiding member 31 by about 120 degrees left and right.

In steps 5203 and 5204, it is determined whether or not the count switches 41 (SW, ), 41 (SW6) are turned on due to the inflow of game balls into the winning space 21 at the bottom of the variable winning device 10, and it is determined that they are turned on. If so, in step 5205, the number of winnings counter is set to “+1j”.
The count is increased and the process moves to step 5206. If it is determined that the power is not turned on, the process continues to step 5.
The process moves to 206. In step 5206, it is determined whether or not the number of winnings counter has reached "10" (number of winnings count ≧ 10). If it is determined that it has not reached "10", in step 5207 the opening/closing number counter is set to "18".
It is determined whether the number of openings and closings has been reached (opening/closing number counter ≧18). As a result of these determinations, when the number of winnings counter reaches "10" or the number of opening/closing counter reaches "18", it is determined that the special game is about to end, and the process moves to step 5208, and the number of winnings counter reaches "18". rlO
If the opening/closing frequency counter does not reach J and does not reach "12", the process returns to step 5203. Step 320
At step 8, solenoid 391 (SQL A) is turned off, and at step 5209, solenoid 325 (SQL C
> is turned on (for example, for 5 seconds) to open the opening/closing door 34 for 5 seconds, and then step 513 is performed.
5 and executes steps 5L35 to 3138, thereby ending the special game and returning to the normal game.

FIG. 11 shows the operating state of the stored ball guide member 31 due to the operation of the motor 401(M) at the initial stage when the power supply circuit of the pachinko game machine is turned on and at normal times.

As shown in the figure, the motor 401 (M
), the storage ball guiding member 31 (M) is oscillated by approximately 40' in clockwise and counterclockwise directions at a predetermined speed (for example, 15.625 times/min). Specifically, it rotates approximately 40'' from the lowest position over a period of 0°424 seconds, stops at that position for 1 second, and then rotates 0° in the opposite direction.
It takes 424 seconds to pass through the lowest position and is rotated about 40' in the opposite direction from the lowest position.

This pendulum movement guides the winning balls that have fallen into the storage space 27, increasing the player's interest.

FIG. 12 shows the movable members 23, 23 and the fluctuation guiding member 30 when a game ball enters the one-time opening specific winning openings 5, 5.
c, 30c storage processing member 34 and storage bulb guiding member 31
The timing chart of the operation is shown below.

When a game ball wins a prize in the one-time opening special winning openings 5, 5, as shown in the figure, a predetermined period of time (
For example, after 1.2 seconds), the solenoid 391, 391
is activated, the movable member 23.23 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds) and then closed. Also,
Simultaneously with the winning of the game ball into the specific winning hole 5.5, the solenoids 340 and 523 are activated, causing the fluctuation guide members 30c, 30c to move for a predetermined time (0, 2 seconds) at a fast speed (for example, 0.2 seconds forward and 0.2 seconds backward), and the opening/closing door 34 is in the open state.

At this time, the storage ball guide member 31 moves at a predetermined speed (for example, 3), 2
After rotating for a predetermined time (for example, 2.5 seconds) at a rate of 5 times/minute, it rotates in a direction close to the bottom and returns to the operation shown in FIG. .2 seconds)
The predetermined time (for example, 31.25 times/minute) until the end
oscillates at a speed of By giving the above-mentioned predetermined time (2.5 seconds), the storage ball guiding member 31 returns to the pendulum-like motion after traveling approximately once.

At this time, the valid time for treating the winning in the special winning opening 28 as a special game occurrence condition is until a predetermined time (for example, 3.2 seconds) has elapsed from the falling edge of the closing operation of the movable member 23. It will be extended.

Before this extended validity period has passed, the game ball will be sent to the special winning slot 2.
8 and is detected by the special winning detector 28a (SW,), a special game right is generated.

FIG. 13 shows the movable members 23, 23 and the fluctuation guiding member 30c when a game ball enters the double-opening special winning opening 4.
, 30c shows a timing chart of the operation of the opening/closing door 34 and the storage bulb guiding member 31.

When a game ball wins in the special winning opening 4 for opening twice,
As shown in the figure, the solenoids 39L and 391 are activated after a predetermined period of time (for example, 1.2 seconds) has elapsed since the winning, and the movable member 23.23 is activated for a predetermined period of time (for example, 0.7 seconds). Predetermined time at intervals (for example, 0.7 seconds)
Each is opened twice and then closed. In addition, specific winning opening 4
At the time when the game ball won the prize, solenoids 340 and 5
23 is activated, the fluctuation guiding member 30c.

30c moves back and forth at a fast speed (for example, 0.2 seconds forward and 0.2 seconds backward), and the opening/closing door 34 is in an open state.

At this time, the storage ball guide member 31 moves at a predetermined speed (for example, 31.25
After rotating for a predetermined time (for example, 3.5 seconds) at
Rotate in a direction near the bottom and return to the operation shown in Figure 11.
It swings at the speed of the predetermined time (for example, 31.25 times/minute) until the end of the special game generation valid time (for example, 3.2 seconds). By giving the above-mentioned predetermined time (3.5 seconds), the storage ball guide member 31 returns to the pendulum-like movement after making about two revolutions.

At this time, the valid time for treating the winning in the special winning opening 28 as a special game occurrence condition is until a predetermined time (for example, 3.2 seconds) has elapsed from the falling edge of the closing operation of the movable member 23. It will be extended.

When a game ball enters the special winning hole 28 and is detected by the special winning detector 28a (SW,) before this valid time has elapsed, a special game right is generated.

In addition, in Figures 12 and 13, specific winning opening 5
, 5.4 Movable member 23.23 by winning any of the following.
Even if a game ball enters any of the specific winning holes 5, 5.4 again during the opening, it will be invalidated (preliminary game will not occur).

FIG. 14(A) shows the movable member 23 during the special game,
23. The timing chart of the fluctuation guiding members 30c, 30c, opening/closing [34] and the operation of the storage ball guiding member 31 is shown in FIG. 14(B). An enlarged view of a portion of the timing chart is shown.

When a game ball enters the special winning slot 28 within the valid time during the preliminary game shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 and is detected by the special winning detector 28 a (5W4) and a special game occurs, As shown in FIG. 14(A), after a predetermined preparatory period (for example, 6 seconds) has elapsed from the rise of the detection signal by the special winning detector 28a (SW,), the solenoids 391 and 391 are activated. movable member 23
, 23 start opening and closing operations for a predetermined time period (for example, 0.8 seconds) at a predetermined time period (for example, a 1.6 second period). This opening/closing operation is continued up to, for example, 18 times per cycle. However, during that time, game balls flow into the upper winning space 22 and the count switch 41 (SW6)
, 41 (When a predetermined number of objects (for example, 10) are detected in total by SWj, at that point the solenoid 39
1,391 is stopped (demagnetized) and the movable members 23.23 are returned to the closed state.

In addition, during the preparation period (6 seconds) at the same time as the game ball enters the special winning hole 28, the solenoids 340 and 325 are activated to cause the fluctuation guide members 30c, 30c to operate at a predetermined time period (for example, 1 second period). While moving back and forth (for example, 0.5 seconds forward and 1.05 seconds backward) at a medium speed for a predetermined period of time, the opening/closing door 34 becomes open. Furthermore, at this time, the storage ball guide member 31 rotates counterclockwise at a predetermined speed (for example, 31.25 times/min) during the preparation period (6 seconds) after winning the special winning hole 28.

When the preparation period (6 seconds) has elapsed, the operating states of the solenoids 340 and 325 are changed as shown in FIG. 14(A), and the fluctuation guiding member 30c is changed.

30c moves back and forth (for example, forward by 0.5 seconds and backward by 0.5 seconds) at a fast speed for each predetermined time (1 second) in a predetermined period of time (for example, a 2-second period), and the opening/closing door 34 is in a closed state. to move to. Further, at this time, the storage ball guiding member 31 is oscillated by about 40° clockwise and counterclockwise alternately at a predetermined speed (for example, 15° 625 times/min). That is, as shown in the detailed timing chart of the operation of the storage ball guide member 31 in FIG. 14(B), from the lowest position to 0
After rotating approximately 40 degrees from the lowest value over 212 seconds,
It stops at that position for 0.2 seconds, then moves in the opposite direction for 0.2 seconds.
It takes 12 seconds to pass through the lowest value and then rotate about 40' in the opposite direction from the lowest value. This small pendulum movement guides the game ball that has fallen into the storage space 27 and shows it to the player, as well as informing him that it is the first half of the special game.

After the preparation period (6 seconds) has elapsed, the count switch 41 (S
W,), 4], (SW,) counts 4 winning balls, or the opening/closing operation of the movable member 23.23 reaches 6.
When the rotation reaches the maximum speed, the operating state of the motor 401 (M) is changed and the storage ball guide member 31 moves at a predetermined speed (for example, 15, 6
25 times/min) approximately 70° clockwise and counterclockwise alternately.
It's constantly being shaken.

In detail, it takes about 70 degrees from the lowest value over 0.372 seconds.
After rotating, it stops at that position for 0.2 seconds, then passes the lowest position in the opposite direction for 0.372 seconds, and is rotated about 70' in the opposite direction from the lowest position. This small pendulum movement visually informs the player that he is in the middle of the special game.

Furthermore, after that, the flow of game balls into the lower winning space 21 causes the count switch 41 (SW, ) to be activated.

41 (SW, ) counts 7 game balls, but when the movable member 23.23 opens and closes for the 12th time, the solenoid 340 is activated and the fluctuation guide members 30c, 3
0c moves back and forth for a predetermined period of time (eg, 0.5 seconds forward, 0.5 seconds backward) at a predetermined time period (eg, 1 second period), and the opening/closing door 34 is opened. Also, motor 4
01 (M) is changed and the storage ball guiding member 31
is swung clockwise and counterclockwise at a predetermined speed (for example, 15,625 times/min) by approximately 120° to the left and right.

Specifically, it takes 0.212 seconds to rotate approximately 120 degrees from the lowest position, stops at that position for 0.2 seconds, and then rotates in the opposite direction for 0.64 seconds to return to the lowest position. , and is rotated about 120 degrees in the opposite direction from the lowest position. Due to this large pendulum movement, the winning balls stored in the storage space 27 are pushed up onto the warm current shelf 25 in the branching space 26, and the player is notified that it is the second half of the special game.

Furthermore, after that, when the movable member 23.23 completes the opening/closing operation a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 times) or when the game ball flows into the lower winning space 21, the count switches 41 (SW, ), 41 (SW3 ) plays the game ball 1
When counting 0, solenoids 391, 391 (
SQL A) is stopped (demagnetized) and the movable member 23.2
3 is returned to the closed state, and the solenoid 325
(SQL C) is activated for a predetermined period (for example, 8.2 seconds), remains open for this predetermined period (8.2 seconds), and then becomes closed.

During each cycle of the special game, the effective time for establishing the continuation condition that effectively treats the inflow into the special winning opening 28 (winning) as a continuation condition is determined by the movable member 23 at the beginning of each cycle.
．． 23 is opened, and after the completion of the 18th opening/closing operation (or after counting 10 pieces), a predetermined period of time (
For example, 3.2 seconds) is the time until the end.

Solenoid 340 (SQL B) and motor 401
The operation (M) is maintained within the above-mentioned valid time (3.2 seconds) even after the movable members 23, 23 complete the predetermined opening/closing operation (18 times) or after counting 10 winning balls. . As a result, the fluctuation guide members 30c, 30c continue to move back and forth at the medium speed during the effective time, and then retreat and stop.

In addition, the storage ball guide member 31 is approximately 120 mm wide on the left and right during the effective time.
Performs a shaking motion in degrees, and when the effective time has elapsed, the first
Return to the normal operation shown in Figure 1.

On the other hand, when the game ball enters the special winning hole 28 again within the above-mentioned valid time, the cycle ends at that point and a new cycle of the special game starts.

In this way, if the continuation condition is that the game ball enters the special winning hole 28 within the valid time of each cycle, for example, 8
A cycle of special games is performed until the end of the cycle.

At the time of the final cycle, there is no valid time, so winning into the special winning hole 28 at the time of the final cycle is not treated as a winning ball as a continuation condition, but as a murder prize ball.

The timing chart of each member when a prize is won in the special winning hole 28 during the special game and the number of continuations reaches the 18th time is shown in the lower part of FIG. 14(A). At this time, the movable member 23
, 23, fluctuation guiding member 3°c, 30c, storage guiding member 3
4 and the storage ball guide member 31 operate in the same manner as during the preparation period shown in FIG. 14(A) during a predetermined preparation period (for example, 5 seconds), and thereafter move as shown in FIG. 14(A). The same operation as the final stage operation is performed, which is conditioned on the 12th rise of the opening/closing operation of the member 23, or the count of the 7th winning ball. Also, in this final cycle, the establishment of the continuation condition is not a problem, so opening/closing B'! 34 is kept open during its operation.

In this way, during each cycle of the special game (excluding the final cycle), game balls are stored in the storage space 27 from the beginning to the end when the movable member 23.23 is performing opening and closing operations. On the other hand, since the guiding movement (pendulum-like movement) of the storage ball guide member 31 in the storage space 27 increases in stages, the degree of storage of game balls in the storage space 27 is large in the early and middle stages. Toward the end of the game, the degree of transfer (pushing up) of the stored game balls onto the distribution shelf 25 increases. In other words, in the early and middle stages, there is a high probability that the game balls stored in the storage space 27 will remain stored, and accordingly, the game balls will enter the special prize opening 28 and immediately move to the next cycle. This reduces the possibility that the player's profits will be reduced due to the above. However, in the final stage, the game balls stored in the storage space 27 are pushed up onto the distribution shelf 25 by the storage ball guiding member 31, and the game balls enter the special prize opening 28 and a new cycle is continued, and the player This will result in an increase in profits. Since the player can visually see how the game balls are stored in the storage space 27 and how the stored balls are guided by the stored ball guide member 31, the player becomes more interested in the game. .

In the above embodiment, the upper winning space 22 and the lower winning space 21 are separated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and they may be combined into one winning space.

Further, the fluctuation guiding members 30c, 30c are not limited to the above-mentioned types, but may be of any type as long as they can appropriately change the transfer direction of the game balls on the distribution shelf 25.

In addition, the fluctuation guide members 30c, 30c and the storage ball guide member 3
The movement of 1 and the timing of the movement are not limited to the above-mentioned movement and timing, and the design may be changed in any way.
