2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there have been proposed a number of ball-ball game machines which open and drive a variable winning ball device in a predetermined manner based on the fact that a hitting ball is detected by a start detecting means while a specific game state is continued. There is. In such a ball game machine,
Since it is desirable that the winning of the ball at the starting winning opening having the start detecting means and the opening operation of the variable winning ball device be alternately performed, the hitting ball is supplied after being held for a predetermined period on the upstream side of the start detecting means. There has been proposed a holding means, for example, one in which a starting winning mechanism is provided with a holding mechanism including a rotating body that receives a hit ball and rotates at a predetermined cycle. And, as described above, the starting winning opening and the variable winning ball device provided with the holding mechanism are generally ejected alternately.

[0003]

By the way, in this type of ball game machine, various modes are conceivable as a projecting mode in which the starting winning port and the variable winning ball device are alternately aimed. The gaming machine uniquely designs and supplies the arrangement relationship between the starting winning opening and the variable winning ball device so as to match one set bullet-out mode, and this is why
However, there is a drawback in that the arrangement relationship between the starting winning port and the variable winning ball device must be redesigned when the elastic mode is changed. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a ball game machine that can be applied to a plurality of bullet modes with respect to the positional relationship between the starting winning port and the variable winning ball device. To do.

While being rotated for a second, one specific winning area 41 and a plurality (three in the drawing, but it is sufficient if it is a plurality) of normal winning areas 42 are formed on the outer periphery thereof to flow down the front wheel guide path 39. One of the winning areas 41
Guided to 42. When a hit ball is guided to the specific winning area 41, the hit ball is processed as a winning ball after actuating a specific switch 44 (not shown, but a symbol is shown in the block diagram of FIG. 7). When the specific switch 44 is turned on, a right generation game state described later in detail occurs. On the other hand, when a hit ball is guided to the normal winning area 42, it is processed as a normal winning ball.

The first distribution rotating member 34 and the second distribution rotating member 40 described above are given the design of the rear wheels and front wheels of the racing car, and the first distribution rotating member 34 and the second distribution rotating member 40 are provided. A decorative member having a design of the body portion of the racing car is arranged between and around the member 40, the upper side of the decorative member constitutes the front wheel guide path 39, and the center of the decorative member will be described below. The variable indicators 48a and 48b are embedded. Further, a movable decorative member 45 provided with a design of a driver and a hand is provided in the middle of the front wheel guide path 39, and the movable decorative member 45 is driven by a solenoid 46. The movable decoration member 45 is

The variable indicators 48a and 48b described above start changing when the passing switch 4 is turned on after passing through the passing gate 4, and the display result when the changing is stopped is shown. Pre-determined hit display (3.
3, 5, 5, 7, 7), the opening / closing member 23
The drive control of a and 23b is performed in the above-described predetermined manner. Then, when the hitting ball passes through the passage gate 4 during the fluctuation, up to a predetermined number (for example, 4) can be stored and the fluctuation can be reserved, and the reserved number can be displayed by the variable indicators 48a, 48.
It is displayed on the passing memory display 49 provided on the left and right of b. The variable indicators 48a and 48b are composed of 7-segment LEDs that emit two colors, and the variable indicator 48a that stops changing first displays one of the hit displays (this state is the reach state. When it becomes), the luminescent color of the fluctuation is changed. Also,
While the right generation game state is continued, the number of times the opening / closing plate 53 of the variable winning ball device 50 described later is opened (or the starting winning opening 67).
It may be used temporarily to display the number of winnings). Further, the special variable winning ball device 20 is provided with a large number of decorative LEDs, decorative lamps, and the like in order to exert a decorative effect in addition to the above-described configuration.

The operation of the special variable winning ball device 20 described above will be described in detail later. In the structure of the special variable winning ball device 20, the opening and closing of the winning area 30 at the entrance 25 of the winning area 30. Members 23a and 23b and a warp ball entrance 22 for guiding the ball to the center of the lower part of the special variable winning ball device 20 and releasing it into the game area 3 again are provided at the entrance 25 of the prize area 30. The hit ball that flew,
Warp entrance 2 for closing the opening / closing members 23a, 23b

It is possible to surely guide the ball hitting the ball from the ball entrance 25 through the warp passage 26 to the predetermined lower central discharge hole 27 of the special variable winning ball device 20 and to discharge it to the game area 3 again. Therefore, the hitting ball can be re-emitted to a desired position without depending on the adjustment of the obstacle nails that are planted around the special variable winning ball device 20. It should be noted that the position of the discharge port 27 may be formed at an appropriate desired position on the side or the lower side of the special variable winning ball device 20, instead of the center of the lower part as in the embodiment.

Next, the variable winning ball device 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. FIG. 3 shows a variable winning ball device 5
4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the center of 0, FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the variable winning ball device 50, and FIG. 5 is a front view of the variable winning ball device 50. In the figure, the variable winning ball device 50 has a mounting board 51 mounted on the surface of the game board 1, and a rectangular winning opening 52 is formed in the center of the mounting board 51. The winning opening 52 is covered by an opening / closing plate 53 whose opening / closing is controlled by a solenoid 54. In addition, inside the winning opening 52, winning ball detectors 55a and 55b are provided to detect all winning balls received during one opening / closing of the opening / closing plate 53. Is displayed on the number indicator 56 provided on the upper back surface side of the winning opening 52. Further, an obstacle protrusion 57 is provided on the mounting substrate 51 below the winning opening 52. Further, on the upper left and right ends of the mounting substrate 51,
Normal winning openings 58a and 58b are integrally formed.

The above-mentioned opening / closing plate 53 and winning openings 58a, 58
In the mounting substrate 51 between the b and b, the winning openings 61 and 67, the shaft penetrating holes 62 and 68, and the ball detector mounting portions 63 and 69 having substantially the same shape are formed at the bilaterally symmetrical positions.
A fixed ball receptacle 59 and a rotary body 64 having substantially the same external shape are provided so as to cover the front surfaces of the rotary bodies 1, 67, and the outer shapes of the fixed ball receptacle 59 and the rotary body 64 are substantially left and right. The symmetrical winning cover bodies 60 and 66 cover. More specifically, the fixed ball receptacle 59 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a guide path 59a is formed in the center thereof.
Is attached corresponding to the winning opening 61 in a state where the upper end of is aligned with the ball entrance 60a of the winning cover body 60. Then, in a state in which the fixed ball receptacle 59 and the winning cover body 61 are integrally attached to the mounting substrate 51, the hitting ball enters from the ball inlet 60a and is guided to the winning opening 61 through the guideway 59a. It will be processed as a regular winning ball. In this case, the shaft penetrating hole 6
2 and the ball detector mounting portion 63 are not used.

On the other hand, the rotary member 64 has one ball on its outer circumference.
A concave portion 65 for receiving the individual pieces is formed, and is fixed and supported at the tip of a rotary shaft 71 of a motor 70 fixed to the back surface side of the mounting substrate 51. The rotary shaft 71 penetrates the shaft penetrating hole 68. In addition, a starting switch 72 is attached to the ball detector mounting portion 69, and a ball hit from a winning opening 67 (which may be called a starting winning opening 67 because it has a starting function) is detected. Is ready to go. Then, the ball hitting the ball entrance 66a of the winning cover body 66 that covers the outer periphery of the rotating body 64 is accepted when it matches the receiving recessed portion 65 of the rotating body 64 that is constantly rotating, and is accepted. When the receiving recessed portion 65 faces downward, it is guided from the winning opening 67 to the back surface of the mounting substrate 51 to turn on the start switch 72. In other words, the rotating body 64 has the entrance 66.
It has a function of guiding the ball hitting from a to the start switch 72 in a predetermined cycle. In other words, such a function is a holding means for holding the ball for a predetermined period and then releasing the hold. be able to.

When the ball hits the start switch 72 during the above-mentioned right generation game state, the open / close plate 53 of the variable winning ball apparatus 50 has passed a predetermined time (for example, 9.8 seconds). Alternatively, it is opened until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of prize balls are generated before the predetermined time passes. When the ball hits the starting winning opening 67 while not in the right generation game state, it is treated as a simple winning. Further, while continuing the right generation game state, there is a demand to guide the hit ball to the starting winning opening 67 at a certain frequency to continuously open the opening / closing plate 53 of the variable winning ball device 50, In the normal gaming state, when increasing the rate of ball hitting to the starting winning opening 67, the overall winning rate is increased, and it becomes difficult to set the desired winning rate. Therefore, in this embodiment, drive control is performed so that the cycle of the rotating body 64 is different between the continuation of the right generation game state and the normal game state. For example, in the right generation game state, it is set to 10 seconds / cycle, while in the normal game state, it is set to 30 seconds / cycle.

By the way, in the above-mentioned embodiment, it is possible to attach the rotating body 64 to the position where the fixed ball receptacle 59 is attached. That is, the starting switch 72 is attached to the ball detector attachment portion 63 and the motor 70
Is attached to a predetermined position on the back side of the winning opening 61, the rotating shaft 71 of the motor 70 is penetrated through the shaft penetrating hole 62 to attach the rotating body 64, and the outer periphery of the rotating body 64 is covered with the winning cover body 60. As a result, the ball hit from the ball entrance 60a is received in the receiving concave portion 65 of the rotating body 64 and the winning opening 6
It is possible to turn on the start switch 72 by leading to 1. As described above, in the variable winning ball device 50 in the illustrated embodiment, the mounting substrate 51 provided with the opening / closing plate 53.
Since the starting switch 72 and the rotating body 64 as the holding means can be provided at two places on the right and left sides of the starting means, the starting winning opening with the holding means and the variable winning a prize are provided during the continuation of the right generation game state described in detail below. In a pachinko gaming machine having a game content of alternately aiming at the opening / closing plate 51 of the ball device 50,
It can be easily applied to various elastic modes.

For example, the opening and closing members 23a and 23b are opened based on the hitting ball passing through the passing gate 4 even during the continuation of the right generation game state as in this embodiment, and as a result, the right generation game state is set. In the case of a game content that is likely to disappear, the opening / closing plate 53 and the starting winning opening 67 of the variable winning ball device 50 are set so that the hit ball is largely ejected to the right side of the game area 3 and does not pass through the passage gate 4. It will take the form of aiming. Then, in this case, the starting switch 72 and the rotating body 64 are provided on the right side of the mounting substrate 51. On the contrary, while the right-occurrence gaming state continues, even if the hitting ball passes through the passing gate 4, it is invalidated or the variable display 48
The change and stop of a and 48b are prohibited, and the opening / closing member 23
In the case of a game content in which the opening is prohibited in a, 23b, the opening time, the number of times, the opening amount is restricted, or the like, it is possible to take a measure that does not induce or is difficult to induce a hitting ball in the specific winning area 41. In addition, since it is not necessary to elastically fire to the right side, the starting switch 72 and the rotating body 64 may be provided on the left side. That is, the starting mechanism can be selectively provided on either the left or right side of the mounting substrate 51 at the design stage depending on the game content.

Here, the contents of the game in the right-generating game state will be briefly described. As described above, when the hitting ball is guided to the specific winning area 41 formed inside the special variable winning ball device 20, the right is generated. It becomes a gaming state (for control, it is said that a special device operates). Then, when the right generation game state continues, when the ball hits the starting winning opening 67 and turns on the starting switch 72, the opening / closing plate 53 of the variable winning ball device 50 performs the opening operation described above. Then, such an opening operation is repeated every time a ball hits the starting winning opening 67 as long as the right generation game state continues. However, the continuation of the right generation game state, when the ball is guided to the specific winning area 41 of the special variable winning ball device 20 again during the right generation game state, or a predetermined number (for example, 16 It's supposed to end when the number of balls hits).

For the winning in the starting winning opening 67, up to "predetermined number-1" winning balls are stored, and the opening / closing plate 53 of the variable winning ball device 50 is opened based on the stored value. When the number of rights has reached the predetermined number and the right generation state disappears, after the opening operation (even if it is 16 times or less opening / closing operation) at the time when the predetermined number is reached, the subsequent opening operation is performed. I don't know. Therefore, the start winning opening 67
It is desirable that the winning of the winning prize and the opening operation of the variable winning ball device 50 are alternately performed, but in the present embodiment, as described above, the starting winning opening 67 in the right generation game state.
Since the winning of the ball at the start is controlled at an interval substantially equal to the opening time of the opening / closing plate 53 of the variable winning ball device 50, the winning at the starting winning opening 67 and the opening / closing plate 53 of the variable winning ball device 50 are controlled. There is a high possibility that the opening operation and the opening operation will be alternately performed.

In addition to the above-described structure, the variable winning ball device 50 is provided with a decorative LED, a accessory lamp, etc., which enhance the decorative effect. In addition, among the various winning openings or winning ball devices described above, the number of prize balls paid out by the winning balls that win the opening / closing plate 53 is relatively large (for example, 15).
The number of prize balls to be paid out by other prize balls is set to be relatively small (for example, 7 pieces).

The structure of the gaming board 1 of the pachinko gaming machine including the special variable winning ball device 20 and the variable winning ball device 50 has been described above. The gaming devices provided on the gaming board 1 are shown in FIG. It is controlled by the game control circuit.

Is a time chart showing the operation of the first distribution rotating member 34 (rear wheel), the second distribution rotating member 40 (front wheel), and the rotating body 64 driven by the motors 36, 43, 70 when the power is turned on. Yes, when the power is turned on, the front wheels 40 immediately start rotating counterclockwise in a predetermined cycle (4 seconds), but the rear wheels 34 have passed a predetermined time (2 seconds) since the power was turned on. Then, rotation starts in the counterclockwise direction at a predetermined cycle (3.7 seconds). Further, the rotating body 64 also rotates at a predetermined cycle (30 seconds) immediately after the power is turned on. As described above, in the right generation game state, the cycle of the rotating body 64 becomes faster (10 seconds).

In the figure, the hitting ball passes through the passage gate 4 and the passage switch 5
Is turned on and the passage signal T is derived, one value is extracted from CRND1 when the passage signal T rises, and variably displayed when 0.000 seconds or 0.002 seconds have elapsed after the passage signal T was derived. Vessels 48a, 48b (left design 48
a, displayed as the right pattern 48b) starts to change, and the stored value of CRND1 is read and one value is extracted from CRND3. CRND1 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (A), it is a random number for determining the hit or miss, and 130 different numerical values from "0 to 129" are changing every moment. Similarly, CRND3 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (A), CRND3 + 0 and CRND3 + 1
There are two types, and each is a variable display 48a, 48b
It is a random number for determining the symbol displayed at the time of stopping, and ten numerical values from "0 to 9" are changing every moment. The relation between each random number of CRND3 + 0 and CRND3 + 1 and the symbol is as shown in FIG. 10 (C).

Whether or not the display results of the symbols 48a and 48b are hit is as shown in FIG. 10 (B), when the extracted value of CRND1 is 128 to 129 (at a high probability, 110).
~ 129) is determined to be a hit, and the symbols displayed on the symbols 48a and 48b at that time are three types of "3.3" shown in FIG. 17 according to the value extracted from the random number of CRND4. Any one of "5.5" and "7.7" is determined. On the other hand, when the value of CRND1 is a value other than the above, it is determined to be out, and the symbols displayed on the symbols 48a and 48b at that time are the symbols corresponding to the values of CRND3 + 0 and CRND3 + 1. However, when it coincides with the winning symbol by accident, 1 is added to CRND3 + 1 to make it a deviating symbol.

As described above, when the passing signal T is derived,
Whether or not the symbols displayed in the symbols 48a and 48b are hit is determined, and the symbol displayed at the time of stop is also determined,
The fluctuations of the symbols 48a and 48b are started at the same time. Then, in the variable display of the left symbol 48a, during the basic time (5.160 seconds), the fluctuation speed A is set and fluctuates, and when the basic time has elapsed, the stop symbol is set and stopped. Similarly, in the variable display of the right pattern 48b,
The time until the left symbol 48a is stopped is the basic time, and during the basic time, it changes by being set at a predetermined fluctuation speed A, and 1.000 seconds after the basic time has elapsed, it matches the stopped symbol. It will be stopped when you do.

Further, a variable display (so-called reach state) in which the symbol displayed in the symbol 48a which first stops is a winning symbol "3/5/7" will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, the fluctuation pattern at the time of reach is
Three types are set according to the random number extracted value of CRND2. Specifically, when the value of CRND1 is out of range, the extracted value of CRND2 is “0 to 0”.
When "4", the variation pattern shown in FIG. 12 is adopted, when "5-7", the variation pattern shown in FIG. 13 is adopted, and when "8, 9", the variation pattern shown in FIG. 14 is adopted. It Further, when the value of CRND1 is a hit, the extracted value of CRND2 is “0,
When "1", the variation pattern shown in FIG. 12 is adopted, when "2-4", the variation pattern shown in FIG. 13 is adopted, and when "5-9", the variation pattern shown in FIG. 14 is adopted. It As a matter of course, FIG.
The fluctuation patterns shown in FIG. 14 can be taken when the value of CRND3 + 0 is “3,5,7”.

In FIG. 12, the variation of the left symbol 48a is the same as that shown in FIG. 11, but the passing signal T
CRN executed 0 or 0.002 seconds after the derivation of
Extraction of CRND2.3 at the same time when D1 is read,
And CRND4 is extracted at the time of hit. On the other hand, in the fluctuation of the right pattern 48b, the basic time (5.160 seconds)
After the end of the fluctuation by the speed A, the fluctuation by the speed B is performed for a fixed time (5.000 seconds), and is stopped at the time when it coincides with the stop symbol. The fluctuation pattern shown in FIG. 13 is almost the same as the fluctuation pattern shown in FIG. 12 except that the speed B becomes the speed C. The variation pattern shown in FIG. 14 is
The portion of speed C in FIG. 13 becomes speed D and the fluctuation time is 5
It is almost the same except that it is increased from 8 seconds to 8 seconds.

Further, the fluctuations at the time of continuation of the right generation game state and at the time of high probability are shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, and the fluctuation pattern which is out of sync with the fluctuation pattern of FIG. 11 as shown in FIG. The variation patterns that are the same and reach are fixed to the same patterns as the variation patterns of FIG. 14 as shown in FIG.

FIG. 18 shows a game operation after the result of the above-mentioned changing operation is a win. FIG. 18 shows the movable decorative member 45, the opening / closing members 23a, 23b, and
9 is a time chart showing the operation of the first and second distribution rotation members 34, 40. When a predetermined time (2 seconds) elapses after the fluctuation of the right pattern 48b is stopped, the solenoid 46 of the movable decorative member 45 is turned on and the hand is raised. Solenoid 46
The ON state of is continued for a relatively long time (24 seconds). At the same time, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing members 23a and 23b is started. The opening / closing operations of the opening / closing members 23a and 23b are such that the opening / closing operation of 0.9 seconds is performed a predetermined number of times (6 times) during a predetermined time (24 seconds). However, during the opening, prize winning detector 32
When one hit ball is detected, it is controlled not to perform the opening / closing operation thereafter. In addition, the front wheel 40 has a predetermined cycle (4
However, the rear wheel 34 has a right pattern 48b.
After the fluctuation is stopped, the guide protrusions 35a and 35b move to the rear wheel guideway 3
When the winning ball detector 32 detects a hit ball and a minute time (0.4 seconds) elapses, the ball is again rotated at a predetermined cycle (3.7 seconds). After the opening / closing operations of the opening / closing members 23a and 23b are completed, if there is passing memory when a predetermined time (8 seconds) elapses, fluctuations of the symbols 48a and 48b are started. Further, when the variation result is out of alignment, as shown in FIG. 19, after the variation of the right symbol 48b is stopped, 0.8 seconds elapses, and 0.002 is further elapsed.
The fluctuation resumes in seconds.

When the right generation game state is entered,
When a ball hits the rotating body 64 having a starting function and the start switch 72 is turned on, as shown in FIG.
The starting signal S is derived, and a predetermined number of times (10 seconds) elapses after a certain time (9.8 seconds) has elapsed from the time when the starting signal S was derived.
The solenoid 54 is turned on and the open / close plate 53 is opened until the (winning) winning balls are generated.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, after the first right generation game state is finished, the variable display 48 is displayed.
The probability that a, 48b derives the hit display result is changed to a high probability, and the high probability state is continued until the next right occurrence game state occurs. That is, it is controlled so as to shift to a high probability at the end of the odd number right generation game state, and to return to the original probability at the even number right generation. Of course, the probability may be changed and controlled in cycles other than this.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 22, the decorative pattern 9 is such that one value is extracted from the CRND 5 "0 to 9" when the detection signal R of the specific switch 44 for right generation is derived. At the same time, the fluctuation is started, and when the predetermined time (4 seconds) has elapsed, the pattern corresponding to the value extracted by CRND5 is displayed on the decorative pattern 9 and the fluctuation is stopped.
