When the power is turned on, a reset signal is output to OR circuit 56 and OR circuit 57, and this reset signal is input to T flip-flop circuit 34, flip-flop circuit 38, and flip-flop circuit 41. Then, the T flip-flop circuit 34, the flip-flop circuit 3
8. The flip-flop circuit 41 becomes low state. Since the flip-flop circuit 38 is in a low state, the NOT circuit 40 is in a high state.
The 4-bit binary counter circuit 30 is reset and the output of its clock signal is prohibited.

When the power is turned on, the clock circuit 24 outputs a clock signal A, and this clock signal A is input to the binary counter circuits 25 and 26.

The output signal of the binary counter circuit 25 is
Since it is input to the LED drive circuit 28,
On the identification information display 21, numbers 0 to 9 are sequentially switched and displayed at high speed.

The output signal of the output terminal _Q3 of the binary counter circuit 26 is sent to the pilot lamp drive circuit 47.
, the decorative lamp 45 blinks when the power is turned on.

The output signal of the binary counter circuit 26 is also input to the pilot lamp drive circuit 48 via the AND circuit 46.
Since the T flip-flop 34 is in the low state, the gate of the AND circuit 46 is closed and no input is received, and the right reservation indicator lamp 12 is in an extinguished state.

The solenoid 13 is a flip-flop circuit 41
is in a reset state, so it is not driven, and guide vane 1
0 is in the closed state, and the binary counter circuit 5
At 0, the flip-flop circuit 38 is in the reset state, so it is not set, and no sound effect is generated from the speaker 54.

(b) A pachinko ball enters the winning slot 3 for securing rights while a number other than "7", which is specific identification information, is being displayed on the identification information display 12, and this is detected by the rights securing ball detection switch 22. when it is done.

The H clock is output from the Schmitt waveform shaping circuit 31, but since the output of the AND circuit 32 is L, the output of the AND circuit 33 also remains L, and the T flip-flop 34 remains in the low state. Since the right is not secured and the gate of the AND circuit 46 is not opened, the right securing indicator lamp 12 is in an extinguished state.

The states of the solenoid 13 and speaker 54 also remain unchanged.

(c) When the specific identification information "7" is displayed on the identification information display 12, when a pachinko ball enters the winning slot 3 for securing rights and this is detected by the rights securing ball detection switch 22.

Since the H clock is being input from the AND circuit 32 to the AND circuit 33, when the H clock is output from the Schmitt waveform shaping circuit 31,
The AND circuit 33 outputs an H signal, and the T flip-flop circuit 34 becomes a high state. Therefore, the right is secured and H is input from the T flip-flop circuit 34 to the AND circuit 46 and the binary counter circuit 43, so the gate of the AND circuit 46 is opened and the binary counter circuit 26 is input to the pilot lamp drive circuit 48. The output signal of the output terminal _Q3 is input, the right securing indicator lamp 12 blinks, and the guide vanes 10,1
It is displayed that the right to increase the probability of winning, which is opening 0, has been secured.

(d) When a pachinko ball that enters the winning slot 4 when the right is secured is detected by the right exercise ball detection switch 23.

Since the AND circuit 36 outputs H, the flip-flop circuit 38 is set to a high state, and the output H is sent to the differentiating circuit 39 and the NOT circuit 4.
0, the binary counter circuit 26 is once returned to its initial state and starts a new counting operation, and the binary counter circuit 30 is released from reset.

The output signal of the output terminal Q' ₄ of the binary counter circuit 30 is input to the flip-flop circuit 41 as a set signal, and the reset signal B is also input to the flip-flop circuit 41. As shown, since the output signal at the output terminal _Q'4 rises faster than the reset signal B, the flip-flop circuit 41 is set first. Therefore, the solenoid drive circuit 4
H is input to 2, the solenoid 13 is driven, and the guide vanes 10, 10 are opened.

Since the binary counter 50 receives an H signal from the flip-flop circuit 38, the binary counter circuit 50 is set, and a sound effect is generated from the speaker 54.

AND circuit 3 is included in the binary counter circuit 43.
Since H is input from 6, it is counted that the right exercise ball has been detected once.

When the reset signal B becomes H, or when the number of pachinko balls that have entered the central prize opening 9 reaches 10 and the output of the AND circuit 62 becomes H, the flip-flop circuit 41 is reset, so the solenoid 13 stops operating. At the same time, the flip-flop circuit 38 is also reset, so the binary counter circuit 30 is reset and output is inhibited, and since the binary counter circuit 50 also has no set input, the sound effect is also stopped. This completes the first exercise of rights.

During the exercise of this right, the exercise ball detection switch 2
3 is detected, this is stored in the memory circuit 63, so that the reset signal B is input to the memory circuit 63 with a little delay than the reset signal B is input to the flip-flop 41 through the delay circuit 64, and the reset signal B is input to the flip-flop 41 through the delay circuit 64. circuit 3
6 will be reset once and then set again.

Therefore, the guide vanes 10, 10 are once closed and then opened again, and the sound effect is also stopped once and then restarted. As a result, the guide blades 10, 10 are always opened for a certain period of time as shown in FIG. 9 or until 10 pachinko balls have been won into the central prize opening 9, and then closed.

The T flip-flop circuit 34 is reset when the count content of the binary counter circuit 43, that is, the number of detections by the right exercise ball detection switch 23 reaches "10", and goes to a low state, and from then on, the right row use winning slots 4, 4 Winning a pachinko ball has no effect on increasing the winning probability.

Count contents of the binary counter circuit 65,
In other words, when the number of rights exercised reaches "10", the memory circuit 6
Since the memory contents of 3 will be cleared,
The opening of the guide vanes 10, 10 is completed after 10 times.

In addition, when the condition (c) is satisfied during the right securing state, the state of the T flip-flop 34 is reversed, so it changes from the high state to the low state, and before the right ball is detected 10 times. Even so, the rights will be terminated at this point.

Although the embodiments have been described above, the present invention also includes the following.

Items that use alphanumeric characters, various shapes, etc. as identification information.

It uses liquid crystal as its display means.

Something that uses sound as a means of securing rights.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the gambling nature can be suppressed without restricting the entry of pachinko balls into the winning hole for securing rights, so that players can have a sense of expectation. This allows the player to enjoy the gameplay to the fullest, and increases the player's desire to play.

Furthermore, if you insert a pachinko ball into the winning slot for securing rights while specific identification information is being displayed, the rights will be secured, making it possible to add even more chance to the game and prevent fraudulent gaming. .
