Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine equipped with a symbol display device having a plurality of symbol display parts, and more particularly to a third-class pachinko machine in which the probability of a big hit varies.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various pachinko machines have been proposed which produce a profitable operation for a player when a stop symbol of a symbol display device which variably displays various predetermined symbols is a hit symbol. As this profitable operation, the specific winning opening is opened according to the winning symbol, and the right is generated by the gaming ball winning the specific winning opening passing through the special area, and the winning is given to the predetermined starting opening while the right is generated. Open the prize hole by
There is a so-called type 3 pachinko machine. This third
Even on seed pachinko machines, after winning, the probability of changing to a predetermined symbol combination on the symbol display device is changed with a high probability to easily generate the next hit and the probability variation method that enhances the enjoyment of the game is often adopted. Has been done.

[0003] Here, the player's greatest interest in the game is whether or not to win, and it is generally preferred that the symbol display device has a large number of symbol variations, but on the other hand, when the starting opening is used. If you cause a lot of variation in the pattern, the number of balls will increase and it will be difficult to adjust the prize balls. For this reason, in order to generate more symbol variations and to take a balun of the ball out, a method of causing symbol variation by an operating gate that does not pay out game balls is often used especially in the third class pachinko machine. . In the method of starting the fluctuation of the symbol by the passage of the game ball of this operating gate, and in the third type pachinko machine that changes the probability of occurrence of a hit,
When winning with a predetermined symbol, a considerable number of prize balls are paid out, and the probability of a predetermined symbol combination is changed to a high probability (for example, 10 times) to provide the player with a state in which a hit is likely to occur. are doing. However, in this type of pachinko machine, even if the game ball passes through the actuation gate and the fluctuation of the symbol starts, there is no payout of the prize ball, so the player will be able to hit the above by the time the next hit occurs. Sometimes I hit all the game balls I got in.
Such a situation is likely to occur when the nail adjustment is performed so that the winning in the other winning openings hardly occurs. For this reason, even if the state transitions to the high probability state, not only the benefits cannot be fully utilized but also the player's willingness to play may be impaired.

[0004]

In order to address the above-mentioned problems, the inventor of the present application, in Japanese Patent Application No. 6-248619, provides a short time and a long time as an opening time of a normal electric accessory, We proposed a third-class pachinko machine that improves ball retention by generating short-term release relatively frequently. In the present invention, the game ball is guided to the special device operation area when the number of prizes to the ordinary electric auditors exceeds the predetermined number, and the so-called special game right is generated for the player. In order to be able to win more than a predetermined number when opening the ordinary electric accessory of,
It was necessary to dispose the above-mentioned ordinary electric accessory at the center or below the board. That is, since a large number of game balls are retained on the board surface by being interfered by obstacle nails, windmills, etc. when the launched game balls flow down, a plurality of game balls are provided by arranging an ordinary electric accessory at the center or below the board surface. Can win at almost the same time.

However, it is difficult to win a plurality of game balls in a short time even if the ordinary electric auditors are arranged at the center or lower side of the board, and the arrangement position of the ordinary electric auditors is restricted, which causes an obstacle. Normally, the electric accessory cannot be placed at a position above the board surface where it is not interfered with by nails, windmills, etc., which causes a problem that the accessory placement is patterned.

On the other hand, as described above, in order to pass through the special device operating area, a fixed number of prizes which are always fixed are required, so that the process of generating the right itself becomes a fixed pattern and the game becomes monotonous. , The original contingency of pachinko machines tended to be impaired.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to improve the ball-holding performance under a high probability and to specialize in a game ball that wins an ordinary electric accessory. It is an object of the present invention to provide a third-class pachinko machine capable of changing the possibility of passing through the device operation area, increasing the sense of expectation for the right generation, and improving the willingness to play. Further, an object of the present invention is to provide a third-class pachinko machine capable of giving a degree of freedom to the board surface arrangement position of an ordinary electric accessory and preventing patterning of the accessory arrangement.

[0008]

When the stop symbol is a winning symbol, the special winning opening opening means for opening the specific winning opening, and the right to generate the special playing right to the player by the game ball winning the specific winning opening passing through the special area Generating means, distribution means for guiding a game ball to a special area when the number of prizes to the specific winning opening reaches the set prize quantity, and setting for changing the set prize quantity of the distribution means to the special area And a means for changing the number.

In order to achieve the above object, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, in the aspect described in claim 2,
When the stop design of the design display device that variably displays various predetermined designs is a winning design, the specific winning opening is opened for a short time or for a long time defined according to the corresponding or design Means, a right generating means for generating a right for a special game to the player by the game ball that has won the specific winning opening passing through a special area, and the number of winnings set in the specific winning opening. It is characterized by having distribution means for guiding a game ball to a special area when it reaches, and setting number changing means for changing the set winning number for guiding the game ball to the special area.

In the third aspect of the invention,
The set number changing means changes the set number of winning prizes led to the special area to the number corresponding to the winning symbol.

Further, according to the aspect of claim 4,
The player can visually recognize the set winning number set to the special area set in the distribution means.

[0012]

According to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure,
In the aspect, the set number changing means changes the set winning number of the distributing means, and based on the changed winning number of the game balls, the distributing means moves the game balls winning the specific winning opening to the special area. Lead. Since the number of prizes required to be introduced into the special area is changed, the monotony of the game is improved and the interest can be increased.

In the present invention configured as described above, in the aspect of claim 2, the specific winning opening opening means opens the specific winning opening for a short time or a long time depending on the winning symbol, and particularly for a short time. By frequently opening the player, it is possible to improve the player's ability to hold the ball. Further, the set number changing means changes the set winning number of the distributing means, and based on the changed winning number of the game balls, the distributing means guides the game balls winning the specific winning opening to the special area. Therefore, when the set number changing means changes the set winning number of the distributing means to a small number, the game balls that have won the specific winning opening are sufficiently distributed to the special area by the distributing means even in the short-time opening described above. Therefore, the player can be expected to generate the right to the special game, and the interest of the game can be enhanced.

In the aspect described in claim 3, the set number changing means changes the set winning number to the special area to the number corresponding to the winning symbol, so the setting of the symbol display device leads to the special area. The number of winning prizes can be discriminated from the player side, and the interest of the game can be further enhanced.

In the aspect described in claim 4, the player can visually recognize the set winning number for introducing into the special area set in the distributing means, and the player needs to set the specific winning port to the specific winning opening. Since the number of winning prizes is known, the interest in games can be further enhanced.

Next, with reference to FIG. 1, the outline of the game by the pachinko machine of the first embodiment will be described. Here, first, the outline of the game by the ordinary electric accessory 10 will be described. When the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 21, the fluctuation of the symbol of the normal symbol display device 34 is started. That is, the normal symbol display device 34, the left ordinary symbol display portion 34A (hereinafter, the display portion 3
4A) and the right ordinary symbol display portion 34C (hereinafter referred to as the display portion 34C) are mainly red as shown in FIG. 15A (note that red is shown in black in the figure). Tai) 11 consisting of 10 numbers from 0 to 9 and a whale picture 11
Variable display of types of symbols, on the other hand, central ordinary symbol display section 3
4B (hereinafter referred to as the display section 34B) mainly has 10 types of numbers from 0 to 9 mainly composed of red and green as shown in FIG. (Please note that) 21 types of symbols consisting of 10 types of numbers from 0 to 9 and a whale picture are variably displayed, and display unit 34A, display unit 34B, and display unit 34 when a preset time elapses.
The fluctuation of the symbols is stopped in the order of C. And FIG. 15 (C)
Hit pattern shown in (hereinafter referred to as normal hit pattern,
In the figure, the * symbol indicates that any symbol is acceptable), and the electric accessory 10 is normally opened for about 0.85 seconds, and the hit symbol shown in FIG. In the case of (named), the normal electric accessory 10 is opened for about 5.8 seconds,
Provide a state in which it is easy to win a game ball. In addition, even if the game ball passes through the normal symbol actuation gate 21, it is stored (in addition, it is displayed on the above-mentioned gate passage memory number display device 37) until the first four, and the value more than that. Not retained. In the state where this passage is stored, after the display fluctuation of the normal symbol display device 34 is stopped, the display fluctuation is started again.

When the ordinary electric accessory 10 is opened, the rotating body 12 is stopped at the set position as shown in FIG. Here, in the case of a normal hit design, 1 of the special device operating area
Stop at any position from front to front of 4. On the other hand, in the case of a specific winning design, the work stops at any position from two fronts to four fronts. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the rotating body 12 is stopped before the special device operating area 68, if a game ball is won, the game ball is held in the guide hole 12b of the rotating body 12. At the same time, the rotating body 1
2 is rotated to guide the game ball held in the guide hole 12b to the special device operating area 68 side. When the game ball passes through this special device operating area 68, a right state occurs (hereinafter, this is referred to as operation of the special device). During the operation of the special device, when the game ball wins the third-class starting opening 25, that is, fits in the ball receiving portion 22a of the rotary chucker 22, it is conveyed downward by the rotation of the rotary chucker 22,
It passes through the rotary chucker passage port 23. As a result, the special winning opening 24 is opened for about 9.8 seconds, and a state in which the game balls are very easy to win is provided. Even if the 9.8 seconds have elapsed or the opening time has expired, approximately 10 game balls are won and the special winning opening 24 is closed. After closing the special winning opening 24, the third winning opening 25 is won again to open the special winning opening 24. In addition, the number of times of opening the special winning opening 24 is up to 16, and thereafter, the right state disappears.

By stopping the operation of the special operation device, the pachinko machine of the present embodiment switches between the low probability and the high probability that the above-mentioned ordinary symbol hits. That is, the probability is changed once every time the operation of the special device is ended odd times after the power is turned on. In the low probability state, the probability of winning is set to 1/20, and in the high probability state, it is set to be 1/2 of 10 times that in the low probability state.

Here, the operation of the control board 50 for performing a game by the above-mentioned pachinko machine will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Here, a main processing procedure of the control board 50 will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. 7 showing a main routine. First, C
The PU circuit 57 determines whether the power is turned on (S10
2) Step 1 for the first loop immediately after the power is turned on
The procedure proceeds to 04, the initial setting is performed, and the main routine is ended. If it is determined that the power is not turned on (S10
2 is No), a signal about a winning ball or the like from the winning output unit 88 (see FIG. 6) is input, an input process is performed to prepare it for use in another phase (S106), and the output edited output data is output. Output port 51 and input / output port 52
Output processing for outputting to (see FIG. 6) is performed (S108).

After that, a gate passing process which is a process for the game ball that has passed through the normal symbol operating gate 21 (see FIG. 1) is performed (S110), and the symbol of the normal symbol display device 34 is changed in accordance with this gate passing process. At the same time, a symbol variation process for determining whether or not to win is performed (S112). Then, the ordinary electric auditors product processing for operating the ordinary electric auditors product 10 according to the hit is performed (S114), and the ordinary electric auditors product 1 is processed.
If there is a passage of a game ball in the special device operating area while 0 is open,
A right generation process for opening and closing the special winning opening 24 is performed (S11).
6). After that, the voice output process for outputting the voice through the sound generator 58 is advanced (S118), and the one cycle main routine process is completed. The main routine is repeated every time a reset signal from the clock 56 is applied to the CPU circuit 57.

The processing from step 110 to step 116 described above will be described in detail with reference to the subroutines shown in FIGS. 8 to 14. First, the gate passage processing in step 110 will be described with reference to the subroutine shown in FIG. First, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the game ball has passed the normal symbol actuation gate 21 based on the signal from the prize output unit 88 (S122), and if the game ball has not passed (S122). No), the gate passage subroutine is ended. On the other hand, when the game ball has passed (Yes in S122), it is determined whether the variable U is less than 4 (S124). Here, the variable U indicates the number of game balls that have normally passed through the symbol actuation gate 21, and in this embodiment, as described above, the number exceeding 4 is not held. Therefore, when the variable U is 4, (S1
24 is No), the subroutine is completed. On the other hand, when the variable U is less than 4 (Yes in S124), the variable U is set to 1
Addition is performed (S126), and the process ends.

Next, the symbol variation process in step 112 of FIG. 7 will be described with reference to the subroutines shown in FIGS. 9, 10 and 11. Here, when the game ball does not pass through the normal symbol operation gate 21, that is, the process when the variable U is 0 will be described. In the flowchart of FIG. 9, first, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the symbol of the normal symbol display device 34 is changing (S202), but since the symbol is not changing here (No in S202),
It is determined whether or not the variable U is 1 or more (S204), but since the variable U is 0 (S204: No), the subroutine process is ended.

Next, the process after the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 21 and the variable U becomes 1 will be described. In the flowchart of FIG. 9, first, the CPU
The circuit 57 normally determines whether the symbol of the symbol display device 34 is changing (S202), but here, since the symbol is not changing (S202 is No), it is determined whether the variable U is 1 or more (S204). ), Since the variable U is 1 here (Yes in S204), 1 is subtracted from this variable U (S206). Then, the variation of the symbol of the normal symbol display device 34 is started (S208). Next, CPU circuit 5
7 determines whether the variable m indicating the number of times the special device has been operated, that is, the number of times the right state has occurred is an odd number (S21).
0). Here, the description will be continued assuming that m is an even number (low probability state) (No in S210).

In step 212, a hit random number value for generating a hit with a low probability is set. That is, FIG.
By setting "7" out of the 20 frames from 0 to 19 shown in (A) as a hit, the hit is adjusted with a probability of 1/20. Then, the hit is determined by the set random number value (S216). Here, when a hit occurs (Yes in S216),
A winning symbol is selected (S218). That is, FIG.
One of the random numbers of 231 frames from 0 to 230 shown in (B) is selected. Here, the description will be continued assuming that the random number “0” is selected. Next, it is determined whether the winning symbol is a specific winning symbol that normally opens the electric accessory 10 for a long time, or a normal winning symbol that is opened only for a short time (S220). Here, the random number “0” is selected as described above, and the red 000, which is the symbol corresponding to this, is
Since this corresponds to the specific winning symbol described above with reference to FIG. 15D, step 220 becomes Yes and the long-time flag is set to "1" (S222). Next, the required winning number variable s is selected based on a random number (S223). That is, the necessary winning number for guiding the game ball to the special device operating area 68 by the rotating body 12 described above with reference to FIG. 2 is determined. Here, as shown in FIG. 17, 0 to 1
By selecting any of the 16 frames of 5,
The variable value s is determined. Here, when the random number values “0” to “3” are selected, the variable value s is set to “2” (probability 4/16). When the random number values “4” to “11” are selected, the variable value s is set to “3” (probability 8 /
16). Further, when the random number values “12” to “15” are selected, the variable value s is set to “4” (probability 4/1).
6). Here, the description will be continued assuming that the random number value “4” is selected and the prize number required variable s is set to “3”. After that, the hit flag is set to "1" (S224).

Next, the CPU circuit 57 selects a reach random number for differentiating the stop operation when the symbol of the symbol display device 34 is stopped changing (S226). Here, either 1 or 2 is selected as the random number value (note that, in the actual operation, more stop operations are set, but here, for convenience of explanation, only two types are described. Continue). Then, the CPU circuit 57 sets this selection value in the reach variable r (S228). Here, description will be continued assuming that the random number value 1 is selected in step 226 and that “1” is set as the reach variable r in step 228. Then, the variable stop time corresponding to this reach variable 1 is set in the symbol timer and started (S230), and the symbol variation process subroutine is ended.

Here, in the judgment of whether or not the hit in the above-mentioned step 216, there is a failure (S216).
No) shifts to the B section. The processing in part B will be described with reference to FIG. First, the CPU circuit 57
Selects an outlier symbol on the display unit 34A of the normal symbol display device 34 (S250). That is, as shown in FIG. 16C, one of the random numbers of 11 frames from 0 to 10 is selected. Here, the description will be continued assuming that the random number “7” (the pattern of red numeral 7) is selected. Next, the symbols on the display unit 34B are selected (S252). That is, as shown in FIG. 16 (D), one of the random numbers of 21 frames from 0 to 20 is selected. Here, random number "7" (red number 7 pattern)
The explanation is continued assuming that is selected. Then, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether the symbol on the display unit 34A and the symbol on the display unit 34B are the same (S254). Here, as described above, the design of the display unit 34A and the design of the display unit 34B are the same (Yes in 254), so that
The process goes to the process of displaying the reach pattern. Here, first, the symbols on the display unit 34C are selected (S256). That is, the symbols are selected in the same manner as for the display unit 34A described above with reference to FIG. After that, the selected symbols are shown in Figure 15.
It is determined whether or not the hit symbols shown in (C) and (D) correspond (S258). If the winning symbol is hit (Yes in S258), the process returns to step 256 and the symbol on the display unit 34C is selected again. On the other hand, if it is not a winning symbol (No in S258), it is determined whether or not the symbol on the display unit 34B and the symbol on the display unit 34C are different by one (S262). Here, as described above, the display unit 34
Since the random number value "7" (red number 7) is selected for the symbol A and the random number value "7" (red number 7) is selected for the symbol on the display unit 34B, the symbol on the display unit 34C is disturbed. Number "6"
When (red number 6) is selected, the step 2
60 becomes Yes, and the outlying reach random number for differentiating the stop operation of the symbols is selected (S262). Here, either 3 or 4 is selected as the random number value (note that although more stop operations are set in the actual operation, there are only two types here for convenience of explanation). Continued explanation as things). And CP
The U circuit 57 uses the value of the selected value 3 or 4 as the reach variable r.
(S264). After that, the variation stop time of the symbol corresponding to the reach variable 3 or 4 is set in the symbol timer (S266), and the symbol variation process subroutine is ended.

When the random number "2" (red number 2) is selected in the symbol of the display section 34C in the judgment of the step 260, the step 260 is judged as N.
When it becomes o, the process proceeds to step 268 to select the outlying reach random number (S268). Here, the random number is 5
Or 6 will be selected. The value is set as the reach variable r (S270), the variation stop time of the symbol corresponding to this reach variable 5 or 6 is set in the symbol timer (S272), and the symbol variation process subroutine is ended.

Further, in the judgment of the above step 254, if the design of the display unit 34A and the design of the display unit 34B are different (No in 254), the process shifts to the normal process for displaying the misalignment. Here, first, the display unit 3
The 4C symbol is selected (S274). That is, FIG.
The symbols are selected in the same manner as for the display unit 34A described above with reference to (C). Then, it is determined whether the selected symbol corresponds to the hit symbol shown in FIG. 15C (S27).
5). Here, when the hit symbol is applied (S275
Yes), the process returns to step 274 and the symbols on the display unit 34C are selected again. On the other hand, if it is not a winning symbol (No in S275), the reach variable r is set to 0 (S2
76), the symbol timer is set at the set time of the normal stop (S278), and this subroutine is finished.

Here, in step 208 shown in FIG. 9, the process after the symbol variation of the normal symbol display device 34 is started will be described. When the symbol variation processing subroutine shown in FIG. 9 is started, the determination at step 202 whether the symbol variation is in progress becomes Yes, and the process proceeds to the C section. The processing of the C section will be described with reference to FIG. Here, first
Reach variable r as being the stopping operation of the normal outlier pattern
A case in which 0 is set in will be described. Until the stop time of the normal outlier symbol elapses, the determination in step 302 of whether the symbol timer time is up becomes No, the processing of the C section is ended, and the variation of the symbol is continued. On the other hand, when the stop time of this symbol is reached, the symbol timer times out (Yes in step 302), and the CPU circuit 57 determines whether the reach variable r is 0 (S304), but here the determination in step 304 is Yes. Then, the process proceeds to step 306, and the display portions 34A, 34B, and 34C of the normal symbol display device 34 are sequentially stopped by the normal off symbol stop operation, and the process ends.

Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the symbol stopping process when the hit occurs as described above and the reach variable r is set to 1 in step 228 shown in FIG. 9 will be described again. When the symbol timer set according to the value of 1 of the reach variable r times up (Yes in S302), it is judged whether the reach variable r is 0 (S304) and then the judgment of whether the reach variable r is 1 (S308). Is Yes, the process proceeds to step 310, and the symbols are stopped by normal reach. That is, red “0” and “0” (see FIG. 16B) corresponding to the random number “0” selected in step 218 (FIG. 9) described above are displayed on the respective display units 34A and 34B and sequentially displayed. After the stop, the speed of the symbol fluctuation of the display unit 34C is set to a low speed and then the red "0" is displayed to stop the fluctuation. In addition,
When 2 is set to the reach variable r in step 228 (FIG. 9), the symbol variation of the display unit 34C is stopped in a manner different from this.

Next, with reference to FIG. 11, a description will be given of the symbol stop processing in the case where no hit has occurred, but a reach has been reached in the selection of the off symbol. here,
The description will be continued assuming that the reach variable r is set to 3 in step 264 shown in FIG. 3 for this reach variable r
When the symbol timer set according to the value of is up (Yes in S302), next, steps 304 and 30
8 and 312, it is judged whether the reach variable r is 3 (S31
6) is Yes, the process proceeds to step 318, and the symbol stop operation is performed by the reach. That is, each display unit 34
A, 34B, step 250 shown in FIG.
After the red numbers "7" and "7" corresponding to the random number "7" selected in 252 are displayed and sequentially stopped, the display unit 34
The speed of the symbol fluctuation of C is slowed down, and once stopped, the engine is restarted and then the red "6" is displayed to stop the fluctuation. In addition, when the reach variable r is set to 4 in step 262, or when the reach variable r is set to 5 or 6 in step 270, the symbols of the display units 34A, 34B, and 34C are displayed in a different mode. Fluctuations will stop.

Next, the ordinary electric accessory processing in step 114 of FIG. 7 will be described with reference to the subroutines shown in FIGS. First, here, a case will be described in which a winning by a specific winning symbol occurs in the symbol variation process shown in FIG. 9, and "1" is set to the long time flag and the winning flag. When the normal electric accessory processing shown in FIG. 12 is started, first, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the hit flag is “1” (S350), and here, the determination in step 350 is Yes, and It is determined whether or not the electric accessory 10 is open (S352). This step 352 is No, and it is determined whether the long time flag is "1" (S354). Here, the step 354 is Y
It becomes es, and a long time (about 5.8 seconds) is set in the timer 1 which sets the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 10 (S35).
6). After that, the CPU circuit 57 sets the long time flag to "0" (S360) and starts the timer 1 (S36).
1). Then, after the stepping motor 87 is once rotated at a high speed (S362), the step 22 shown in FIG.
Corresponding to the value of the required prize number s selected in 3 (here, “3”), the stepping motor 87 is controlled to stop the rotating body 12 three points before the special device operating area 68 (S363). . Then, the first (ordinary electric accessory operation) solenoid 82 (Fig. 2) that opens and closes the ordinary electric accessory 10
(See) and the excitation is cut off to open the ordinary electric accessory 10 (S364). After that, the variable q representing the number of winning prizes for the ordinary electric auditors prize 10 is set to 0 (S365), and this subroutine processing is ended.

Next, the ordinary electric accessory processing shown in FIG. 12 after the ordinary electric accessory 10 is opened in step 364 will be described. First, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the hit flag is "1" (S350), and here,
The determination in step 350 becomes Yes, and it is determined whether the normal electric accessory is being opened (S352), but this step 3
52 becomes Yes, and it is determined whether or not the above long time (about 5.8 seconds) set in the timer 1 has timed up (S3).
66). Here, before the long time (about 5.8 seconds) has passed (No in S366), the process proceeds to the section D.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the D section, the CPU circuit 57 first determines whether or not there is a winning (S380). When there is no winning (No in S380), the subroutine is finished. On the other hand, if there is a prize (Yes in S380)
To do this, the motor is rotated by one step (S382).
That is, by controlling the stepping motor 87, the rotating body 12
The guide hole 12b (see FIG. 2) is fed from the position three before the special device operating area 68 to the position two before. And
After adding 1 to the variable q representing the number of winnings of the normal electric auditors' prize 10 (S384), it is determined whether the variable q is 5 or more (S).
386), since it is 5 or less here (S386 is N
o), the subroutine is completed.

Here, if there is a prize in the ordinary electric accessory 10, the guide hole 12b is rotated so as to be positioned in front of the special device operating area 68 by advancing the processing from step 380 to step 384 described above. The body 12 is rotated. In this state, when a game ball is won, the game ball is held in the guide hole 12b of the rotating body 12.

Here, when the number of game balls that have won is five, step 386 becomes Yes and the process moves to step 368. Similarly, when the long time (about 5.8 seconds) set as the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 10 elapses, the judgment step 366 of whether or not the timer 1 time is up becomes Yes, and the routine proceeds to step 368. In step 368, the hit flag is set to "0". Then, the CPU circuit 57
Is the first (normal electric accessory operation) solenoid 8 shown in FIG.
2 is excited to close the ordinary electric accessory 10 (S370).
After that, the stepping motor 87 is once rotated at high speed (S372). Thereby, the guide hole 12b of the rotating body 12
The game ball held in is sent to the special device operating area 68 side, and the game ball held in the other hole 12c falls to the lower through hole 13 side. Next, the CPU circuit 57
Based on the output of the special device operating switch 69, it is determined whether the gaming machine has passed the special device operating region 68 (S
387), here, since the vehicle has passed through as described above, the determination in step 387 becomes Yes and step 388.
Then, the process proceeds to and the right generation flag is set to "1". Then, the variable p representing the number of times the special winning opening 24 is opened is set to "1" (S
389), thereafter, the stepping motor 87 is rotated at a low speed (S391), and this subroutine processing is ended.

Next, the right generation processing in step 116 of FIG. 7 will be described with reference to the subroutine shown in FIG. Here, the process after the right generation flag is set to "1" in step 388 will be described. C
The PU circuit 57 determines whether the right generation flag is "1" (S400), but here, the step 400 is Yes.
Therefore, it is determined whether the jackpot flag is "1" (S4
02), here the step 402 becomes No and the process proceeds to step 404, and it is determined whether or not the game ball is detected by the third type starting port switch 74 provided in the third type starting port 25 shown in FIG. 5 (S404). . Here, until the game ball is detected at the third type starting opening 25, the step 404 becomes No and the subroutine processing is ended. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), the game ball wins the third type starting opening 25, that is, fits in the ball receiving portion 22a of the rotary chucker 22, is conveyed downward by the rotation of the rotary chucker 22, and is rotated. When it is detected by the third-type starting opening switch 74 via the chucker passage opening 23, the determination in step 404 becomes Yes. As a result, the CPU circuit 57 sets the jackpot flag to "1" (S406) and the opening time of the special winning opening 24 is about 9.8.
The timer 2 for setting the second is started (S408), the excitation of the second (special winning opening operation) solenoid 84 shown in FIG. 6 is cut off to open the special winning opening 24 (S410), and the subroutine processing is ended.

Next, the right generation processing shown in FIG. 14 after the special winning opening 24 is opened in step 410 will be described. First, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the right generation flag is "1" (S400). Here, the determination in step 400 is Yes, and it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is 1 (S402). If Yes in 402, it is determined whether or not about 9.8 seconds set in the timer 2 has elapsed (S412). Where timer 2
Is not up (S412 is N
o), based on the output of the ten count switch 76 shown in FIG. 5B, it is determined whether the number of winnings from the special winning opening 24 is less than 10 (S414). If the timer 2 has not timed out and the number of winnings is less than 10, (S
412 is No and S414 is Yes), the processing is terminated and the special winning opening 24 is continuously opened. On the other hand, when the timer 2 has timed out (Yes in S412) or when the number of winnings is 10 or more (No in S414), the process proceeds to step 416 to excite the second (big winning opening operation) solenoid 84. And close the special winning opening 24 once. Then, the jackpot flag is set to "0" (S418). After that, the variable p representing the number of times the special winning opening 24 is opened is less than 16, that is, the special winning opening 24.
It is determined whether or not is opened 16 times (S420). Here, since the special winning opening 24 has been opened once, the step 420 becomes Yes, the process proceeds to step 422, 1 is added to the variable p, and the process is ended. When the special winning opening 24 is opened 16 times by repeating the above-described processing, the determination in step 420 is NO, the process proceeds to step 424, and after the right generation flag is set to “0”, a variable m indicating the number of times the right state is generated. Is added to 1 (S426). In the above-mentioned example, the variable m is an even number, that is, the probability of occurrence of a hit is a low probability state.
1 is added to become an odd number, that is, the high probability state is entered and the subsequent processing is advanced.

Here, the processing after the transition to the high probability state will be described. The game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 21, and the symbol variation process when the variable U becomes 1 by the gate passage process (S110 shown in FIG. 7) will be described with reference to FIG. 9 again. First, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the symbol of the normal symbol display device 34 is changing (S20).
2) Here, since the symbol is not changing (No in S202), it is determined whether U is 1 or more (S204), but here, since U is 1 (Yes in S204), from this variable U 1 is subtracted (S206). Then, the variation of the symbol of the normal symbol display device 34 is started (S208). Subsequently, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the variable m indicating the number of times the special device has been operated, that is, the number of times the right state has occurred is an odd number (S210). Here, as described above, m
Is an odd number, that is, a high probability state (S210
Yes), the process proceeds to step 214.

In step 214, a hit random number for generating a hit with a high probability is set. That is, FIG. 16 (A)
"7" and "1" of 20 frames from 0 to 19 shown in
By setting "1" to "19" as a hit, 1
It is adjusted so that a hit is generated with a probability of / 2 (10 times as low as the low probability state). Then, the hit is determined by the set random number value (S216). Here, when the hit occurs (Yes in S216), the hit symbol is selected (S218). That is, one of the random numbers of 231 frames from 0 to 230 shown in FIG. 16B is selected. Here, the following description will be continued on the assumption that the random number “2” (corresponding to the red number 022) is selected. Next, it is determined whether this hit is a specific hit design that normally opens the electric accessory 10 for a long time, or a normal hit design that only opens for a short time (S220). Here, the random number “2” is selected as described above, and the red number 022, which is a symbol corresponding to the random number “2”, corresponds to the normal winning symbol described above with reference to FIG. 15C. Therefore, this step 22
When 0 is No, the process proceeds to step 231 without setting 1 for the long time flag.

In step 231, the required number of prize winning variables s
Is selected based on a random number. That is, the necessary winning number for guiding the game ball to the special device operating area 68 by the rotating body 12 described above with reference to FIG. 2 is determined. Here, as shown in FIG. 17, the variable value s is determined by selecting any of the 16 frames from 0 to 15. Here, in the case of a normal winning design, when a random number value “0” is selected, “1” is set to the variable value s (probability 1 /
16). When a random number "1" to "2" is selected,
"2" is set to the variable value s (probability 2/16). When the random number values “3” to “12” are selected, the variable value s is set to “3” (probability 10/16). Further, when the random number values “13” to “15” are selected, the variable value s is set to “4” (probability 3/16). Here, the description will be continued assuming that the random number value “0” is selected and the winning number required variable s is set to “1”. After that, the hit flag is set to "1" (S224), and then the CPU circuit 57.
Selects a reach random number in the same manner as described above (S22
6) and set this selected value in the reach variable r (S22
8). The symbol timer is set in correspondence with the reach variable r (S230), and the subroutine of this symbol variation process is ended.

Now, the processing after the hit flag is set to "1" will be described. When the ordinary electric accessory processing shown in FIG. 12 is started, first, the CPU circuit 57.
Judges whether the hit flag is "1" (S35
0), here, the determination in step 350 becomes Yes, and it is determined whether or not the normal electric accessory is being opened (S352).
Here, step 352 is No, and it is then determined whether the long time flag is "1" (S354). Here, since the long time flag is "0", the step 3
54 is No, and a short time (about 0.85 seconds) is set to the timer 1 which sets the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 10 (S
358). Then, the timer 1 is started (S361), and then the stepping motor 87 is once rotated at a high speed (S3).
62) After that, the stepping motor 87 is controlled according to the value (here, “1”) of the prize number required variable s selected in step 231 shown in FIG.
The rotator 12 is stopped so that is positioned one position before the special device operating area 68. After that, the first (ordinary electric accessory operation) solenoid 82 (FIG. 2) for opening and closing the ordinary electric accessory 10 is opened.
(See), the normal electric accessory 10 is opened by disconnecting the excitation (S364), the variable q representing the winning number of the normal electric accessory 10 is set to 0 (S365), and the subroutine processing is ended.

Next, the normal electric accessory processing shown in FIG. 12 after the normal electric accessory 10 is opened in step 364 will be described. First, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the hit flag is "1" (S350), and here,
The determination in step 350 becomes Yes, and it is determined whether the normal electric accessory is being opened (S352), but this step 3
52 becomes Yes, and it is determined whether the short time (about 0.85 seconds) set in the timer 1 has timed up (S
366). Here, before the short time (about 0.85 seconds) has elapsed (No in S366), the process proceeds to the section D.

When a game ball is won in a state where the rotary body 12 is stopped just before the special device operating area 68, the game ball is held in the guide hole 12b of the rotary body 12. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the D section, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not there is a prize (S380), but when the game ball is won (S380 is Yes), the motor is rotated by one step (S382). That is, the stepping motor 87 is controlled to rotate the rotating body 12 from the position immediately before the special device operating area 68 to the position immediately before. Thereby, the game ball held in the guide hole 12b is guided to the special device operating area 68 side. Next, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether the variable q is 5 or more after adding 1 to the variable q representing the number of winnings of the normal electric auditors product 10 (S384) (S3).
86), since it is 5 or less here (No in S386),
The subroutine is finished.

On the other hand, when the short time (about 0.85 seconds) set as the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 10 elapses, FIG.
Step 366 of judging whether timer 1 time up shown in 2
Becomes Yes, and the hit flag is set to "0" (S36).
8). Then, the CPU circuit 57 excites the first (normal electric accessory operation) solenoid 82 shown in FIG. 2 to close the normal electric accessory 10. After that, after the stepping motor 87 is once rotated at high speed (S372), based on the output of the special device operating switch 69, the game ball is moved to the special device operating region 68.
It is determined whether the game ball has passed (S387), but since the game ball has passed therethrough as described above, the step 3
The determination at 87 is Yes. The CPU circuit 57 first sets the right generation flag to "1" (S388), and then sets the variable p representing the number of times the special winning opening 24 is opened to "1" (S389). After that, the stepping motor 87 is rotated at a low speed (S391), and this subroutine processing is ended. Then, by setting the right generation flag to "1", the processing shifts to the right generation processing shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 387 that the game ball has not passed the special device operation area (No in S387), the subroutine process is terminated without setting the right generation flag to "1".

By opening the ordinary electric accessory 10 for a short period of time (about 0.85 seconds), usually one or two game balls are won in the ordinary electric accessory 10, and one of these game balls is won. 13 game balls are paid out for the winning prize. After transitioning to the high probability state, each time the game ball passes through the normal symbol actuation gate 21, there is a 1/2 probability (10 in the low probability state).
Double) Ordinary hits or hits due to specific hits will occur. To be precise, there are 210 out of 231 ways to hit by the normal winning design, and 21 out of 231 ways to hit by the specific winning design, that is, the hits due to the normal winning design are 10 times more than the hits of the specific winning design. To do. Therefore, in this high-probability state, a normal winning symbol is frequently generated, and prize balls are paid out in small increments. Therefore, the player who has received a large number of game balls due to the occurrence of the right state enjoys the game without reducing the number of balls he holds until the next special hit symbol occurs and the right state occurs. You can

Also, during the opening of the normal electric accessory 10 for 0.85 seconds per the normal winning symbol, if a small value is set as the prize number necessary variable s as described above, the right state is There is a high possibility that it will occur, and especially when the rotating body 12 is stopped just before the special device operating area, the possibility of generating the right is as high as in the case of a specific winning symbol. Therefore, the expectation of the right generation can be given to the player each time the normal electric accessory 10 is opened, and the motivation for the game can be further enhanced.

Further, in the first embodiment, even if the ordinary electric accessory 10 is not arranged at the center or the lower side of the board, it is sufficiently special as described above during the opening of the ordinary electric accessory 10 for a short time. Since the game ball can be guided to the device operating region 68, the ordinary electric accessory 10 can be arranged above the board surface. For this reason, the degree of freedom in arranging ordinary electric accessories on the board increases,
It is possible to prevent patterning of the placement of the accessory.

Further, in the first embodiment, the number of winnings to the ordinary electric accessory 10 required to be immediately guided to the special device operating area 68 from the position of the mark 12c of the rotating body 12, that is, the right generation. Since it is possible to know the high and low of the probability of, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the game.

Here, a modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the above-described first embodiment, the winning number required variable s is selected each time the winning occurs, and the winning symbol and the winning symbol required variable s are not associated with each other, but in this modified example, depending on the winning symbol. The required winning number variable s is determined. The operation of this modified example is the same except for the symbol variation process shown in FIG. 12 of the above-described embodiment, so the symbol variation process of the modified example will be described with reference to FIG.

The CPU circuit 57 first determines whether or not it has won through the processing from step 202 to step 216. After that, the winning symbol is selected (S218).
That is, one of the random numbers of 231 frames from 0 to 230 shown in FIG. 16B is selected. Here, the random number “0” (that is, for the display units 34A, 34B, and 34C, FIG.
Of the red numbers shown in (D)

The description will be continued assuming that [000]) is selected. Next, it is determined whether the winning symbol is a specific winning symbol that normally opens the electric accessory 10 for a long time, or a normal winning symbol that is opened only for a short time (S220). Here, the random number “0” is selected as described above, and the red 000, which is the symbol corresponding to this, is
Since it corresponds to the specific winning symbol described above with reference to FIG. 15D, this step 220 becomes Yes and the long time flag is set to 1 (S222).

After that, the required winning number variable s is selected (S
223). That is, the necessary winning number for guiding the game ball to the special device operating area 68 by the rotating body 12 described above with reference to FIG. 2 is determined. As described above, the random number "0" (that is, the red number

If [000]) is selected,

For the symbol [000], "2" is selected as the variable value s. By the way, the display unit 34A,
For 34B and 34C, the red numbers shown in FIG.

[000], [111], [222], [333],
When [444] is selected as the winning symbol, "2" is selected as the variable value s. On the other hand, [whale picture, whale picture, whale picture] or display section 34A shown in FIG.
For red numbers, green for the display 34B, 3
Red numbers for 4C

[000], [11
1], [222], [333], [444], [55
5], [666], [777], [888], [99]
9] is selected as a winning symbol, the variable value s
Is selected as “3”. In addition, the display units 34A, 34
Red numbers [555] and [66] for B and 34C
6], [777], [888],

When [999] is selected as a winning symbol, "4" is selected as the variable value s. Here, as described above, “2” is set for the variable value s with a probability of 5/21, and for the variable value s,
“3” is set with probability 11/21, and “4” is set with probability 5/21 for the variable value s. afterwards,
The processing after step 224 is continued.

On the other hand, in the above-mentioned step 220, when it is not a long time hit (S220 is No), the winning number necessary variable s for a short time hit (normal winning symbol) is selected (S231). For example, when the symbol [*, whale picture, whale picture] shown in FIG. 15C is selected for the display units 34B and 34C, the variable value s is " Select 1 ”.

By the way, when the red numbers [* 00], [* 11] and [* 22] are selected as the hit symbols on the display portions 34B and 34C, "2" is selected as the variable value s. To be done. Also, red numbers [* 77], [* 88], [* 99] for the display units 34B and 34C, or green numbers for the display unit 34B and red numbers [* 00] for 34C. ], [* 11], [* 2
2], [* 33], [* 44], [* 55], [* 6]
6], [* 77], [* 88], and [* 99] when the winning symbol is selected, "3" is selected as the variable value s. In addition, red numbers [* 33], [* 44], [* 55], [* 66] are displayed on the display units 34B and 34C.
If is selected, "4" is selected as the variable value s. Here, "1" is set to the variable value s with a probability of 1/21, "2" is set to the variable value s with a probability of 3/21, and "3" is set to a probability of 13/21. Is set, and "4 is set with a probability of 4/21. After that, the processing of step 224 and thereafter is continued.

In this modified example, it is possible to determine the number of winnings to the normal electric auditors product 10 necessary to pass the game ball to the special device operating area 68 side based on the display pattern of the normal symbol display device 34. The interest of the player is further enhanced. For example, the left normal symbol display portion 34A of the normal symbol display device 34,
When the stop symbol [*, whale picture] is displayed on the central ordinary symbol display section 34B (also in the state where the reach display is made), then the right ordinary symbol display section 34C displays [whale picture]. ]
When it stops at 1, the winning number required variable s becomes "1", that is, the rotating body 12 stops before the special device operating area. In order to respond to this, the special device is preliminarily rotated further in the clockwise direction to shoot the game ball in the right direction in which the normal electric accessory 10 is arranged (so-called right hit). There is a high probability that it will pass to the operating area 68. Therefore, it is necessary to concentrate on the progress of the game, and the interest of the game is further enhanced.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the above-described first embodiment, the variable display device 30 is used.
The normal electric accessory 10 and the normal electric accessory 10 were separately arranged on the game board 20, but in the second embodiment, the variable display device 13 is provided.
0 and the normal electric accessory 110 are integrally formed. Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the rotating body 12 guides the ordinary electric accessory 10 to the special device operating region, but in the second embodiment, the game ball is moved to the special device operating region by the stopper 64. Guide to 68. First, the variable display device 13
The configuration of 0 will be described with reference to FIG.

On the upper part of the variable display device 130, a required winning number display device 127 composed of four light emitting diodes for arranging the number of winning game balls necessary for guiding to the special device operating area is arranged. There is. In front of it, a normal electric accessory 110 that is opened for a short time or for a long time according to the winning symbol is arranged, and as shown in FIG. 19, when the door 110a of the normal electric accessory 110 is open, The required prize number display device 127 is configured to be visually recognized from the player side. And, in the lower part of the variable display device 130, a normal symbol display device 13 for displaying a regular symbol

34B, the right ordinary symbol display portion 134C is provided in the right area, respectively. Below the normal symbol display device 134, a gate passing memory number display device 137 composed of four light emitting diodes for displaying the number of game balls that have passed through a normal symbol operation gate (not shown) is arranged. There is.

The structure of the ordinary electric accessory 110 will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 is a perspective view of the ordinary electric accessory 110, and FIGS. 21 and 22 are perspective views showing the internal device 60 of the ordinary electric accessory 110. Figure 2
When the excitation of the first (ordinary electric accessory operation) solenoid 82 shown in 0 is released, the ordinary electric accessory 110 is opened by the weight of the weight 61 to provide a state in which the game ball is very easy to win. The game balls won from the side of the ordinary electric accessory 110 flow into the side of the internal device 60. For example, the game ball that takes the route E is detected by the winning detection switch 62 provided in the internal device 60, flows down onto the stopper 64 that closes the special device operating area 68, and is distributed to the left and right at the stopper 64. , The route F on the left side or the route G on the right side, and flows out to the back surface of the board. This winning detection switch 62 counts the number of game balls that have won,
When a predetermined number of winnings are detected, the first actuating solenoid 85 is operated and the stopper 64 is pulled inward as shown in FIG. As a result, the set number of winning balls (Fig. 21)
(Indicated by a solid line in the figure) temporarily stops in the guide rail 66. The winning balls after a predetermined number are blocked by the winning balls fitted in the guide rail 66, and flow out to the back surface of the board through the above-mentioned left route F or right route G. When the first (normal electric accessory operation) solenoid 82 shown in FIG. 20 is excited and the normal electric accessory 110 is closed, the second operation solenoid 86 receives this and pushes up the guide rail 66 upward. As a result, when the winning ball is held in the guide rail 66, the winning ball is detected by the special device operation switch 69 as shown in FIG. Spill to.

Here, the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 110 will be further described with reference to the time chart of FIG. Here, the case where the stopper 64 is operated by detecting the second winning ball will be described as an example. After opening the ordinary electric accessory 110, the stopper 64 is operated by detecting the second game ball. Then, the normal electric accessory 1 is detected when the fourth game ball is detected or when the opening time elapses.
10 are closed. After that, the guide rail 66 is once pushed upward. As a result, when the winning ball is held in the guide rail 66, it is detected by the special device operating switch 69 as shown in FIG.

Next, the outline of the game by the pachinko machine of the second embodiment will be described. Here, with reference to FIG. 19, the outline of the game by the ordinary electric accessory 110 will be described. When the game ball passes through the normal symbol actuation gate (not shown),
Usually, the fluctuation of the symbol of the symbol display device 134 is started. That is, the normal symbol display device 134 is the left ordinary symbol display unit 13
4A (hereinafter referred to as the display section 134A) and the right ordinary symbol display section 134C (hereinafter referred to as the display section 134C), mainly in red as shown in FIG. 15 (A) as in the first embodiment. 11 kinds of symbols consisting of 10 kinds of numbers of 9 and whales are variably displayed, while the central ordinary pattern display portion 134
In B (hereinafter referred to as the display portion 134B), as shown in FIG. 15B, 10 kinds of numbers 0 to 9 mainly composed of red and 10 kinds of numbers 0 to 9 mainly composed of green and a whale picture 21 kinds of symbols consisting of and are variably displayed, and when the preset time has elapsed, the variation of the symbols is stopped in the order of the display unit 134A, the display unit 134B, and the display unit 134C. And in FIG.
In the case of the hit pattern (normal hit pattern) shown in (C), the ordinary electric accessory 110 is opened for about 0.85 seconds, and FIG.
In the case of the winning design (specific winning design) shown in (D), the normal electric accessory 110 is opened for about 5.8 seconds, which provides a state in which the game balls can be easily won. In addition, even if the game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate, it is stored (in addition, it is displayed on the above-mentioned gate passage memory number display device 137) until the first four, and the value more than that is held. Not done.

When the normal electric accessory 110 is open, in the case of a normal winning symbol, the above-mentioned stopper 64 is special by winning one of the set game balls from the 0th to the 3rd prize. The device operating area 68 is opened. On the other hand,
In the case of a specific winning design, the stopper 64 opens the special device operating area 68 by winning one of the set game balls from the first to the third. With the stopper 64 opening the special device operating area 68, the next winning ball is fitted into the guide rail 66 (special device operating area 68), and when this is detected by the special device operating switch 69, the right state is generated. (Hereinafter, this is referred to as operation of a special device). During the operation of the special device, the game ball is the third type starting opening 25 shown in FIG. 1 (in this second embodiment,
Since a device similar to the rotary chucker 22 and the special winning opening 24 of the first embodiment is used, description will be given with reference to FIG. 1), that is, when the ball is received in the ball receiving portion 22a of the rotary chucker 22, the rotary chucker It is conveyed downward by the rotation of 22, and passes through the rotary chucker passage opening 23. As a result, the special winning opening 24 is opened for about 9.8 seconds, and a state in which the game balls are very easy to win is provided. Even if the 9.8 seconds have elapsed or the opening time has expired, approximately 10 game balls are won and the special winning opening 24 is closed. After closing the special winning opening 24, the third winning opening 25 is won again to open the special winning opening 24. In addition, this prize hole 2
The number of releases of 4 is up to 16 times, and thereafter the right state disappears.

By stopping the operation of this special actuating device, the pachinko machine of the second embodiment switches between the low probability and the high probability that the normal symbol hits is the same as in the first embodiment.

Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described. Here, since the control device for the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is almost the same as the configuration of the first embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 6, its explanation is omitted. Further, the control operation by the control device is the gate passage subroutine shown in FIG. 8 of the first embodiment, the symbol variation processing subroutine shown in FIG. 9, and FIG.
Since the operation is the same as the right generation processing shown in FIG. 4, the description thereof will be omitted. Since only the operation of the normal electric auditors product shown in FIG. 12 is different, the operations of the normal electric auditors product of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. This will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. In the description of the flowchart of FIG. 23, the same operations as those described with reference to FIG. 12 will be briefly described by using the same step numbers.

Here, in the symbol variation process shown in FIG. 9, the hit by the normal winning symbol occurs, "0" is set in the long time flag, and "1" is set in the winning flag, and the step 231 is executed. Now, it is assumed that “2” is set in the variable s for winning prizes. When the ordinary electric accessory processing shown in FIG. 23 is started, first, the CPU circuit 5
7 determines whether or not the hit flag is "1" (S35
0), here, the determination in step 350 becomes Yes, and it is determined whether the normal electric accessory 110 is being opened (S35).
2). This step 352 is No, and it is determined whether the long time flag is "1" (S354). Here, the step 354 is No, and a short time (about 0.85 seconds) is set to the timer 1 for setting the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 110 (S358). The CPU circuit 57 turns on two light-emitting diodes of the required winning number display device 127 shown in FIG. 19 in correspondence with the required winning number variable s (S36).
6). Then, the timer 1 is started (S362). Then, the excitation of the first (ordinary electric accessory operation) solenoid 82 (see FIG. 20) that opens and closes the ordinary electric accessory 110 is cut off to open the ordinary electric accessory 110 (S364). next,
The variable q representing the number of winning prizes for the ordinary electric auditors product 110 is set to 0 (S365), and the subroutine processing is ended.

Next, the normal electric auditors product processing shown in FIG. 23 after the normal electric auditors product 110 is opened in step 364 will be described. First, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the hit flag is "1" (S350). Here, the determination in step 350 becomes Yes, and it is determined whether or not the normal electric auditors' article is open (S352). Step 352 becomes Yes, and it is determined whether the short time (about 0.85 seconds) set in the timer 1 has timed up (S366). Here, before the short time (about 0.85 seconds) has elapsed (No in S366), the process proceeds to the F section.

As shown in FIG. 24, in the F section, the CPU circuit 57 first determines whether or not the variable q representing the winning number is equal to a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the required winning number variable s (S502).
In this case, the variable q is "0" and the required winning number variable s is "2" as described above (0 <2-1), and the determination in step 502 is No. Next, it is determined whether or not there is a winning (S504), but if there is no winning (S504).
If No, the subroutine is terminated. On the other hand, if there is a prize (Yes in S504), the normal electric accessory 1
1 is added to the variable q representing the number of winning prizes for 10 (S50
8). After that, it is determined whether the variable q is 4 or more (S51
0), which is 4 or less here (No in S510), the subroutine is finished.

Here, when there is the next prize for the normal electric accessory 110, in the judgment of step 502, the variable q (1) representing the number of prizes is a value obtained by subtracting 1 from the required prize number variable s (2). (1 = 2-1), the determination becomes Yes, and the process proceeds to step 506. This step 50
In 6, the first actuating solenoid 85 is operated to pull the stopper 64 inward as shown in FIG. If there is a prize in the ordinary electric accessory 110 thereafter, the prize ball temporarily stops in the guide rail 66. Then step 5
1 is added to the variable q via 04 (S508). And
It is determined whether the variable q is 4 or more (S510), but since it is 4 or less (S510 is No) here, the subroutine is terminated.

Here, when the short time (about 0.85 seconds) set as the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory 110 elapses,
The judgment step 366 is YES if the timer 1 time is up
Then, the process proceeds to step 368. Similarly, when the number of game balls that have won is four, step 510 becomes Yes and the process proceeds to step 368. In step 368, the hit flag is set to "0". Then, the CPU circuit 57
Energizes the first (normal electric accessory operation) solenoid 82 shown in FIG. 20 to close the normal electric accessory 110 (S37).
0). Then, the excitation of the first operating solenoid 85 is cut off (S512), and the stopper 64 is pushed out. Further, the second actuating solenoid 86 is excited (S514), and the guide rail 66 is pushed upward. Thereby, when the game ball is held in the guide rail 66, FIG.
It is detected by the special device activating switch 69 as indicated by 2. The CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the game ball has passed through the special device operating area based on the presence or absence of the detection by the special device operating switch 69 (S516). If the special device operation area has been passed (Yes in S516), first the right generation flag is set to "1" (S518), and the variable p representing the number of times the special winning opening 24 is opened is set to "1". Shi (S
520) and terminates the subroutine. And in FIG.
The process shifts to the right generation process shown in (1) to open the special winning opening 24. On the other hand, if the game ball is not held in the guide rail 66, the above step 516 becomes No and the subroutine is ended.

As described above, when a small value is set as the required winning number variable s even during the opening of the ordinary electric accessory 110 for 0.85 seconds for winning by the normal winning symbol,
There is a good chance that a rights state will occur. Therefore, the expectation of the right generation can be given to the player each time the normal electric accessory 110 is opened, and the motivation for the game can be further enhanced.

In the above description, the normal electric accessory 110 of 0.85 seconds per normal winning symbol
The processing at the time of opening is described, but when the normal electric accessory 110 is opened for a long time (about 5.8 seconds) by a specific winning design, it is possible to win four game balls with a very high probability. You can That is, in step 223 shown in FIG.
Even if the variable value s is set to "2" to "4" and the winning number for opening the guide rail 66 is set to 1 to 3, it is almost certain that the number of winnings exceeds this number, and the right state Can be generated.

In the second embodiment, the light emitting diode of the required prize number display device 127 (see FIG. 19), which becomes visible when the door 110a of the ordinary electric accessory 110 is opened, is immediately turned on. Special device operating area 6
Since the number of prizes to the ordinary electric accessory 110 necessary to be guided to 8, that is, the magnitude of the possibility of the right being generated can be known, it becomes possible to concentrate the player on the game result instead of the careless game. The interest in the game can be further enhanced. In the example described above, the required number of winnings can be performed by turning on a lamp, displaying 7 segments, or displaying numbers by dots or the like. Further, the display place can be arranged anywhere on the game board surface as long as it can be visually recognized by the player.

In the first embodiment, the stop position of the rotating body 12 of the ordinary electric auditors product 10, and in the second embodiment, the number of winning balls for operating the stopper 64 of the ordinary electric auditors product 110. , The normal hit design and the specific hit design are different, but these may be the same. Furthermore, the length of the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory (specific winning opening) is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the opening time is not limited to two types depending on the winning symbol, and even one is three or more. May be Furthermore, the probability of appearance between the normal winning symbol and the specific winning symbol is not limited to that in the embodiment. Further, in this embodiment, the case where the high-probability state and the low-probability state are alternately generated has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, a game in the high-probability state is operated in the low-probability state. It may be performed a plurality of times after the end. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the example in which the symbol variation is generated by the passage of the normal symbol actuation gate 21 of the game ball has been described, but instead of this, it is configured to start the symbol variation by the winning of the starting opening. Is also possible.

[0083]

[Effect] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to generate a hit of a symbol and to change the probability of the third hit.
In the seed pachinko machine, the specific winning opening is repeatedly opened for a short time under the high probability state, so that the ball can be held until the right state is generated. In addition, since the number of winning prizes required for introduction into the special device operation area is changed, the monotony of the game is improved and the interest can be further enhanced. And if the number of prizes required to be introduced into the special device operating area is small, there is a possibility that the right state may be sufficiently generated even if the specific winning opening is opened for a short time.
The player can be expected to generate the right each time the specific winning opening is opened, and the player's motivation can be further enhanced. Further, even if the specific winning opening is arranged above the board surface, the right state can be sufficiently generated, so that the degree of freedom in arranging the specific winning opening on the board surface is increased, and it is possible to prevent patterning of the arrangement of the accessory.
