However, in the conventional pachinko machine described above, the special game state activating means for the player is allowed to cause this special game state until the special game state is generated. The motivation to play is increased, but once you have created the special game state, be careful that the special game state does not occur again and this special game state does not disappear, special conversion prize hole Only the game that concentrates on winning the game ball and converts the special winning opening means to the second state based on the regulation a preset maximum number of times (for example, 8 times), and lowers the willingness to play during the special gaming state. It was a game with little change without invitation or tension. When the special game state is generated once, the special winning opening means repeatedly converts the second state based on the regulation by the preset maximum number of times (for example, 8 times), so that the player has a large number of prize balls. While it is possible to obtain (special profit), it is a relatively large disadvantage on the side of the game store side, so it is unavoidable to suppress the occurrence ratio of special game states and to provide fair service to many players. I was dissatisfied that I could not do it. further,
In the conventional so-called type 3 bachinko machine, the special winning opening means is converted to the second state every time a detection signal from the special conversion winning detection means is generated in the special game state. , If you fall into a slump state peculiar to pachinko games, it often happens that the game ball can not be prized at the special conversion winning opening often, trying to interrupt the game, even if the special game state actually occurred Regardless, it takes a relatively long time to get the special profit and is irritated, or a large amount of shooting game balls are spent as waste balls, and the player eventually becomes a special game state. It was a big factor of the unpopularity of the pachinko machine of the type such that it could not obtain a prize ball (special profit) that matched. The present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to change the player's willingness to play in the special game state by changing the profit amount of the player in each special game state. The purpose of the game is to maintain a sense of tension by exerting skill to obtain as much profit as possible without causing a decline. Also, by varying the amount of profits earned by the player in the special game state, the game store side does not suffer a certain large disadvantage every time, and a relatively large number of special game states occur. The goal is to make it possible to provide fair service to more players. Further, under this special game state, the detection signals from the special conversion winning detection means are sequentially counted and stored within the range of the upper limit value, and the special winning opening means is continuously and repeatedly converted into the second state by the stored output. By doing so, the so-called launching game ball, in which the game ball does not easily win the special conversion winning opening in the slump state, is configured to be reduced as much as possible.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention is to solve the above problems and is disadvantageous for a player provided with a game board (2) having a game area (11) and the game area. Special winning opening means (33) that can be converted into a first state and a second state that is advantageous to the player, and a special conversion winning opening (57) that is provided in the above-mentioned gaming area and allows a game ball to win.
And a special conversion winning detection means (special conversion winning detector 59, 59) for detecting a game ball that has won the special conversion winning opening
And a predetermined special game state occurrence condition (for example, special detection
Based on the achievement of special sphere detection by the vessel 46)
The special winning opening means causes a special game state waiting for conversion from the first state to the second state. Special game state starting means (for example, auxiliary game means 12, special detector 4)
6, the first D flip-flop 70, etc.) and the special game state activating means, if the special game state has been generated by the special game winning state detection means, based on the detection signal from the special conversion winning combination detection means Drive control means for converting the means into a second state according to a preset rule (for example, a third D flip-flop 81, a second counter 86, a timer 87)
Etc.) and the number of times that the drive control means is repeatedly driven in the special game state is limited by a maximum value preset by a numerical value obtained by counting the detection signals from the special conversion winning detection means. The detection signal from the special conversion winning detection means is driven on condition that the count value counted by the means (for example, the third counter 93 or the like) and the maximum number of times limiting means is less than or equal to a preset maximum value. Despite the control means being driven, the count value is sequentially stored, the drive command signal for driving the drive control means is derived every time the drive control means stops driving, and the drive control means is repeatedly driven repeatedly. Drive command signal generating means (for example, FIFO register 78 or the like), and the special game card
During the special game state that was created by the state initiation means
And the special game state initiation condition is achieved again, or
Maximum number of times the drive control means can be repeatedly driven by the maximum number of times limiting means
The limit of the number of movements is executed, or the earliest condition is met
Based on the fact that the special game state ends
Game state ending means (eg, first D flip-flop 7
0) and.

[0005]

The player plays a game with the aim of generating a special game state by the auxiliary game means as the special game state generating means.
After the special game state is generated based on the fact that the special game state initiation condition is satisfied, by the special game state ending means
By the time the special game state is ended , if a game ball wins the special conversion winning opening, the special conversion winning detection means detects this and the special winning opening means is set by the drive control means based on the preset rule. Since the game is converted into the second state which is advantageous for the player, the game ball can be easily won. Then, during the occurrence of this special game state, when the game ball wins the special conversion winning opening, the special conversion winning detection means detects and the detection command signal is repeatedly counted and stored by the drive command signal generating means and the maximum number of times is limited. The means counts, and the maximum number of times limiting means limits the number of times the drive control means in the special gaming state is repeatedly driven by using a preset maximum value. Further, during the occurrence of this special game state, the drive based on the stored value of the repetitive drive command signal generating means is provided on condition that the count value counted by the maximum number of times limiting means is equal to or less than the preset maximum value. Each time the drive control means is stopped by the command output, the drive control means is repeatedly driven, and the special winning opening means is continuously and continuously converted into the second state. Therefore, even if the game ball falls into a slump state peculiar to a pachinko game and the game ball cannot be easily won in the special conversion winning opening, the special winning opening means is continuous because the repeated drive command signal generating means has a stored value. Then, it is converted to the second state, so that the so-called launch game ball is not wastefully hit.

The back mechanism plate 8 is provided so as to be openable and closable so that the front surface of the back mechanism plate 8 faces the back surface of the game board 2 when the back mechanism plate 8 is closed. Therefore, when the backing mechanism plate 8 is opened and the locking tools 6 are removed, only the game board 2 can be taken out and replaced.

The game board 2 is formed by adhering plastic sheet-like cells on the surface of a plywood plate. On the surface, an outer partition plate 9 and an inner partition plate 10 formed by bending a steel strip in an arc shape are formed into a substantially circular shape. A game area 11 surrounded by both partition plates 9 and 10 is formed by fixing the shape, and flat mounting portions 2 '... Of a predetermined width are formed on the left and right and upper end edges. A display member or the like is provided in an area between the mounting portion 2 'and the inner and outer partition plates 9, 10, and a number of obstacle nails are provided in a game area 11 surrounded by the inner and outer partition plates 9, 10. And the auxiliary game means 12 is disposed substantially at the center.

The auxiliary game means 12 shown in the drawing is
An eaves portion 15 also functioning as a general winning opening is provided above the central opening 14 of the mounting board 13 to be mounted on the front surface, and a concave chamber 16 is formed on the back surface of the mounting board 13 so as to close the central opening 14 from the back side. A decorative body 17 simulating a motorcycle ride is provided in the recessed chamber 16, and a guide means 18 is provided so as to support the decorative body 17. The recessed chamber 16
Is composed of a lens plate 19 having a light-transmitting property and a large number of grooves formed on a part of the upper surface and side surfaces thereof. The inside of the concave chamber 16 can be illuminated by the light diffusely reflected through 19.

The guiding means 18 shown in the drawing makes the front end portion having the upright portion 21 protrude forward from the central opening portion 14,
A guide portion 23 simulating a tire is provided in a through plate 22 provided in a state in which a rear portion is slightly inclined downward toward the depth of the concave chamber 16 and provided at a center in the width direction. 24 rotatably supported. The guiding portion 23 is formed by cutting off a part of a hollow cylindrical body to form a ball entrance 25, and is rotated by driving of a driving source described later. In addition, below the guiding means 18, a spherical flow-down plate 26 constituting the bottom of the recessed chamber 16 is provided in a downwardly inclined state toward the front. Light-emitting sources 27 such as light-emitting diodes,
Separation means 28 is provided at the lower end of the inclination of 6.

The sorting means 28 is a juxtaposition in which three ball winning ports separated by the partition plates 29, 29 are juxtaposed in such a manner as to protrude from the surface of the mounting substrate 13, and the central ball winning port is changed to the special winning port 30. The left and right ball winning ports are defined as general winning ports 31, 31. In addition, on the left and right above the sorting means 28, the game area 1
In order to prevent the game balls from flowing in directly from 1, a blocking plate 32, 32 protruding from the surface of the mounting board 13 is provided.

In the auxiliary game means 12 shown in the drawings, special winning opening means 33 are provided integrally on the left and right of the central opening 14. The special winning opening means 33 is a passive member 37 extending from the door plate 35 by pivotally attaching a door plate 35 to a ball passage opening 34 formed in a left and right extending portion of the mounting substrate 13 by a shaft 36 so as to be openable and closable. The action member 38 is locked to the solenoid 39
The leading end portion of the operating lever 40 which is rotated by the above operation is made to face the acting member 38 from above. Therefore, in the special winning opening means 33, when the solenoid 39 is demagnetized, the tip of the actuating lever 40 presses the acting member 38 downward by the urging of the spring 41, and the tip of the acting member 38 passes the passive member 37. The door plate 35 is erected by pressing the tip of the door plate 35, and the door plate 35 closes the ball passage opening 34 to maintain the first state, which is disadvantageous to the player who does not win the game ball at all, while the solenoid 39 is excited. Then, the tip of the actuating lever 40 rises against the bias of the spring 41, so that the action member 38 is rotatably released. Thereby, the door plate 35 is rotated forward by its own weight, and the state is changed to the second state which is advantageous for the player who opens the ball passage opening 34. When the door plate 35 is converted into the second state, the door plate 3
Since the end portion of the fan-shaped side guard 42 provided on the side portion 5 abuts on the surface of the mounting substrate 13, it stops in a state of slightly descending toward the ball passage opening portion 34. Therefore,
When the door plate 35 is rotated forward and converted into the second state in which the ball passage opening 34 is opened, the special winning opening means 33 described above becomes in a state in which it is easy to receive the game ball that has flowed down. Note that the left and right special winning opening means 33 have the same structure except that the mounting positions are different.

On the back side of the mounting substrate 13, a right rear substrate 43 and a left rear substrate 44 are mounted as shown in FIG. The right back substrate 43 has a special detector 46 on the flow path 45 communicating with the special winning opening 30 of the sorting means 28, and a counting detector 48 on the flow path 47 communicating with the right special winning opening means 33 on the right side. A solenoid 39 for driving the right special winning opening means 33 is mounted on the rear side, and a locking projection 49 protruding from the back surface of the mounting board 13 of the auxiliary game means 12 is provided.
The auxiliary game means 12 is engaged with the
It can be mounted at a predetermined position. Therefore,
When the right back substrate 43 is mounted on the back side of the auxiliary game means 12, the flow path 45 communicates with the special winning opening means 30, the flow path 47 communicates with the special winning opening means 33 on the right side, and the tip of the operating lever 40 is special. It is located at a predetermined position above the action member 38 of the winning opening means 33.

On the other hand, the left back substrate 44 is the special winning opening means 3
3, a counting detector 48 is provided in a flow path 51 communicating with the special winning opening means 33 on the left side, and a driving source 52 such as a geared motor for rotating and driving the guiding section 23 is provided on the back side, and a special winning opening means on the left side. A solenoid 39 for driving the motor 33 is attached.
Therefore, when the locking projection 49 on the back surface of the mounting substrate 13 is fitted into the locking hole 50 of the left back substrate 44 and the left back substrate 44 is mounted at a predetermined position on the back side of the auxiliary game means 12, the flow path 51 on the left side The leading end of the operating lever 40 is located above the action member 38, and the leading end of the gear train 53 of the drive source 52 meshes with the gear 54 of the support shaft 24 of the guide portion 23.

In this embodiment, the auxiliary game means 12 having the above structure is provided substantially at the center of the game area 11, while a plurality of obstacle nails are implanted in the game area 11 as shown in FIG. By doing so, the special winning flow path 55 for guiding the game ball flowing down in the game area 11 from above the blocking plate 32 of the auxiliary game means 12 to the central opening 14, and the special winning flow for guiding to the special winning opening means 33. A path 56 is formed. Special conversion winning openings 5 are provided on the left and right of the lower part of the game area 11.
7 and 57, and a special prize action channel 58 for guiding a game ball is formed above each special conversion prize opening 57, and a prize-winning game is provided in a channel connected to the special prize action channel 58. A special conversion prize detector 59 for detecting a sphere is exposed.

The pachinko machine 1 according to the present invention is an electric control device in which the above-mentioned detectors 46, 48, 59, solenoid 39, drive source 52, etc. are provided as control means on the back side of the game board 2. Each is electrically connected to 60, and the game is advanced under the control of the electric control device 60.

Hereinafter, a game in the pachinko machine 1 will be described. When the player operates the launch operation unit 61 on the front of the pachinko machine 1 to activate the hit ball launching unit 62 and launch one game ball in the supply tray 63 into the game area 11 addressed to,
The game ball that has entered the game area 11 flows down while being hit by the obstacle nail.

The first game ball does not enter the auxiliary game means 12
In the control state, the driving unit 52 drives the guiding unit 2.
3 rotates, and the light-emitting diode 27 provided on the spherical down plate 26
… Blinks slowly from top to bottom. In the first control state, the special winning opening means 33 is kept closed.

Then, when the game ball flows in the specific winning passage 55 with good luck, the game ball passes over the inclined upper end of the blocking plate 32 and drops onto the guide means 18 of the auxiliary game means 12. In addition, even if a game ball falls on the guidance means 18, since the upright part 21 is standing at the tip of the guidance means 18, the game ball does not break the glass. Since the upper surface of the guiding means 18 is slightly downwardly inclined, the game ball dropped on the guiding means 18 slowly rolls toward the inside of the concave chamber 16 due to this inclination, and the inclined lower end of the guiding means 18 is reached. Falls on the lower plate 26. The game ball that has fallen on the ball flow down plate 26 rolls forward due to the inclination of the ball flow down plate 26, and enters the special winning opening 30 or the general winning opening 31 of the sorting means 28. However, as described above, most of the game balls that have fallen directly from the guiding means 18 onto the ball-falling plate 26 have already fallen near the left and right side walls of the concave chamber 16 when they have fallen on the ball-falling plate 26. The general winning openings 31 and 3 open on the left and right sides of the separating means 28 by rolling the side portion on the ball flow down plate 26 as it is.
Win 1 When the game ball enters the general winning opening 31, the game ball flows out to the back side of the game board 2 and becomes a prize ball, and the prize ball discharging device (not shown) is activated by the prize ball, and the front of the pachinko machine 1 is operated. A predetermined number of prize balls are discharged to the ball supply plate 63.

On the other hand, when the ball entrance 25 of the rotating guiding portion 23 is open facing the penetrating portion 22 of the guiding means 18 as shown in FIG. Then, when the game ball enters the guiding portion 23 from the ball doorway 25, the game ball is gently held in the guiding portion 23, and when the ball doorway 25 faces downward as shown in FIG. The ball falls from the ball entrance 25 onto the ball down plate 26. Then, since this game ball falls almost in the center of the ball lowering plate 26 and gently falls, it flows down almost in the center of the ball lowering plate 26 and enters the special winning opening 30 with a high probability. Therefore, the probability of guiding the game spheres that have flowed in from the specific winning passage 55 to the special winning opening 30 is to appropriately set the size of the ball entrance / exit 25 of the guiding portion 23 or appropriately adjust the rotation speed of the guiding portion 23. Then, by adjusting the ease with which the game ball enters from the ball entrance / exit 25, it can be set within a range that can be predicted by a staff member of the pachinko parlor. In this way, the guide means 18 has a function of assisting the flow direction of the game balls flowing from the specific winning flow path 55 with a value close to a predetermined rate, but the guide portion 23.
The game ball that has entered the inside does not always enter the special winning opening 30, and there is a possibility that the game ball that flows down without entering the guiding portion 23 enters the special winning opening 30, so that the player always gains a profit. It is possible to make the player feel a sense of expectation, and in the embodiment, since the game ball rolls slowly on the guide means 18, it is possible to give the player a greater sense of expectation.

When the game ball enters the special winning opening 30, the game ball flows down in the flow path 45 and the special detector 46 is operated, and then flows out as a prize ball to the back side of the game board 2. Therefore, the prize balls discharging device discharges the prize balls to the ball supply tray 63 by the winning balls. Also, when the special detector 46 detects a game ball,
The signal from the special detector 46 causes the electrical control device 60
Shifts to the special game state in which the special winning opening means 33 waits for conversion from the first state to the second state.

The special game state in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows.
The second control state is converted from the first control state to the second control state on condition that the special detector 46 detects a game ball, and the second special conversion winning detector 59 of the special conversion winning port 57 can effectively detect the game ball. From the control state, on the condition that the special conversion winning detector 59 detects the game ball, the special winning port means 33 is opened to convert the game ball to the third control state in which the game ball can be won, and then to the third control state. 10 seconds have passed since
One of the game balls wins, and the stop condition is satisfied when either one of them is satisfied, and this stop condition is satisfied, for example, eight times, that is, 10 seconds have passed since the special winning opening means 33 was opened, or during that time. Assuming that one game cycle includes 10 game balls, the game can be repeated up to 8 cycles. When a game ball enters the special conversion winning opening 57 and the special conversion winning detector 59 detects the game ball,
The cycle is updated each time, but when the game ball wins the special winning opening 30 of the auxiliary game means 12 in the special game state, the special game state is ended at that time regardless of the number of remaining cycles. There is. Further, in the present embodiment, when eight game balls are won in the special conversion winning opening 57, the special game state is ended at that time regardless of the number of effective updates of the cycle.

In this embodiment, in order to allow the player to recognize the change of the control state, when the control state is changed to the second control state, the light-emitting diodes 27 of the auxiliary game means 12 are turned on and off in the first control state. And the light emitting sources 20 provided in the recessed chambers 16 of the auxiliary game means 12, the lamps 64 provided in the special winning opening means 33, and the lamp display section 65 provided at the upper end of the game board 2 blink or blink. Light.

In the second control state in which the lamps 64 and 65 are blinking or lit, the game ball is lucky to enter the special winning opening 57 through the special winning action passage 58, and the special conversion winning detector 59 is displayed. Electric control device 60 by detecting the game ball
, The electronic control unit 60 excites the solenoid 39, and converts the special winning opening means 33 into a second state which is advantageous for a player who can win a game ball. The game ball that has entered the special conversion winning port 57 flows out to the back side of the game board 2 and becomes a winning ball, and the prize ball discharging device is operated.

When the special winning opening means 33 is opened and converted to the third control state of the first cycle, all of the light emitting diodes 27 of the auxiliary game means 12 blink at the same time, and the lamps arranged on the left and right of the game area 11 The indicators 66, 66 blink or illuminate to visually indicate to the player that the state has been changed to the third control state. In the third control state, as described above, when the game ball enters the special winning opening 30, the special gaming state ends at that point, and the special conversion winning opening 57
It is a loss even if the game balls enter one after another and the cycle is updated, so be careful not to enter the game balls into the special winning opening 30 or the special conversion winning opening 57, and enter the special winning opening means 33 as much as possible. The game ball is shot at the flow path 56. In this embodiment, since the special winning opening means 33 having the door plate 35 that can be tilted forward of the game board is arranged above the special conversion winning opening 57, the door plate 35 tilts forward. In the opened third control state, the door plate 35 catches the hitting ball that is flowing down, so that the state where the hitting ball enters the special conversion winning opening 57 unnecessarily one after another is reduced. When the launched game balls pass through the special winning channel 56, most of the game balls flow down onto the door plate 35, and these game balls pass through the ball passage opening 34 into the channels 47 and 51, and are counted. After the detector 48 is activated, it flows out to the back side of the game board 2 and becomes a winning ball. When the counting detector 48 detects a game ball, the counting signal is transmitted to the electric control device 60. Then, when 10 seconds elapse after the electric control device 60 counts the 10 winning balls or is converted into the third control state, the electric control device 6 is activated.
0 demagnetizes the solenoid 39 and ends the first cycle,
Return to the second control state.

When the game ball enters the special conversion winning opening 57 in the restored second control state and the special conversion winning detector 59 transmits a signal to the electric control device 60, the electric control device 60 sets the special winning opening means. 33 is converted into the second state again and 2
Update on cycle.

In this way, a special game state in which the game ball enters the special winning opening 30 of the auxiliary game means 12 and the special winning opening means 33 is waiting for conversion from the first state to the second state Once born, the cycle is updated every time a game ball enters the special conversion winning opening 57, and is updated up to a maximum of 8 cycles. However, the special winning opening 30 of the auxiliary game means 12
The game ball enters again, and special conversion winning opening 57
When eight game balls are won in, the special game state ends at that time regardless of the update of the cycle.

The number of cycle updates is displayed on the digital first display means 67 provided on the eave portion 15 of the auxiliary game means 12, and the special winning opening means 33 is provided on the digital second display means 68 provided on the upper left end of the game board 2. The number of special winning balls is visually displayed on the digital third display means 69 provided at the upper right end of the game board 2. Next, the electric control device 60 that operates the auxiliary game means 12 as described above will be described.
For convenience of explanation, signals are represented by "H" for H level and "L" for L level.

In the embodiment of the electric control device 60 shown in FIG. 8, the special detector 46 of the auxiliary game means 12 is connected to the T input side of the first D flip-flop 70 via the waveform shaping circuit 71, and the first D flip-flop is used. The inverted Q output side of the amplifier 70 is connected to the D input side, and the Q output side is connected to the sound effect generator 72, the oscillator 73, and the light emission source controller 74. Therefore, when the first D flip-flop 70 is reset, the inverted Q output becomes “H”, and this “H” is input to the D input.

In this state, when the game ball enters the special winning opening 30 of the auxiliary game means 12, the special detector 46 detects this game ball and sends an "H" signal to the T input side of the first D flip-flop 70. . When receiving the “H”, the first D flip-flop 70 receives the same signal from the Q output side to the D input side,
That is, an "H" signal is output from the inverted Q output. This output activates the sound effect generator 72 to generate a sound effect from the speaker 75, and also activates the light source controller 74 and the oscillator 73 to change the light emitting diodes 27 of the auxiliary game means 12 to fast blinking movement. At the same time, the concave chamber 16 of the auxiliary game means 12

Further, this output is sent to one input side of the first AND gate 76, and the special conversion winning detector 59 can detect the game ball which has entered the special conversion winning opening 57.

Accordingly, in this state, the game ball enters the special conversion winning port 57, and the signal of the special conversion winning detector 59 which has detected the game ball is input to the other input of the first AND gate 76 via the waveform shaping circuit 77. , The AND of the AND gate 76 is taken and "H" is sent to the SI input side of the FIFO register 78. The FIFO register 78 stores the game ball that has entered the special conversion winning port 57, and if this storage content exists, the second AND gate 79 connected to the DOR output side every time the auxiliary game means 12 completes one cycle. The second D flip-flop 80 and the third D flip-flop 81 and the like are operated in cooperation with each other to move the auxiliary game means 12 to the next cycle. 2nd AND gate 79
Has the inverted Q output of the third D flip-flop 81 as one input, and the output side is connected to the T input side of the second D flip-flop 80. The Q output side of the second D flip-flop 80 is connected to the delay circuit 82, the output side of the delay circuit 82 is connected to the reset side of the second D flip-flop 80, and the inverted Q output side of the second D flip-flop 80 is the third D flip-flop 81. Connect to the T input side of. The inverted Q output side of the third D flip-flop 81 is connected to the SO input side of the FIFO register 78, and the Q output side is connected to the solenoid 3 of the special winning opening means 33 via a driver.
9, a sound effect generator 72, a light source controller 74, and an oscillator 83 of a lamp display 66. Therefore, “H” is output from the special conversion winning detector 59 via the waveform shaping circuit 77 and the first AND gate 76 to the FIFO register 78.
, An "H" is issued from the DOR output side and the second AND gate 79 is entered. Second AND gate 7
Since 9 has the inverted Q output of the third D flip-flop 81 as another input, when the third D flip-flop 81 is in the reset state, "H" and AND of the inverted Q output are taken, and the T input of the second flip-flop is taken. Send a clock signal of "H" to the side. When a clock signal is input to the T input side of the second flip-flop, the Q output side becomes "H", and this "H" is sent to the input side of the delay circuit 82. Delay circuit 8
When the signal 2 comes in, 0.5 seconds after that, the "H" signal is sent to the reset side of the second D flip-flop 80,
The second D flip-flop 80 is reset after a delay of 0.5 seconds. When the second D flip-flop 80 is reset, the inverted Q output is converted to “H”. Therefore, the third D flip-flop 81 having the inverted Q output as a clock input is set by the rise of “H”, and the Q output side is set. To “H” and the inverted Q output side to “L”. Therefore, when the 3D flip-flop 81 is set and "H" is sent from the Q output side, the sound effect generator 72 operates to generate a different sound effect from the speaker 75, and at the same time, the light source control. The lamp 74 causes all of the light emitting diodes 27 to blink simultaneously. Simultaneously with these operations, the solenoid 39 is excited, the special winning opening means 33 is changed to the second state in which the game ball can win, and the first cycle is started. In this way, when the special winning opening means 33 starts the first cycle, the first counter 84 which receives “H” from the Q output side of the third D flip-flop 81 counts the first cycle, and through the decoder 85. The number of cycles “1” is digitally displayed on the first display means 67. The first counter 84 counts each time the Q output side of the 3D flip-flop 81 changes to "H", that is, each time the special winning opening means 33 changes from the first state to the second state. Is displayed on the first display means 67 of the special winning opening means 33.

When the special winning port means 33 is changed to the second state, the special winning port means 33 maintains the second state until the stop condition is satisfied, and continues to win the game ball. And in this embodiment, the special winning opening means 33
Second for counting and inputting the signal from the counting detector 48 of
When one of the stop conditions of the number of winning balls set in the counter 86 and the time set in the timer 87 is satisfied, the special winning opening means 33 is returned from the second state to the first state,
The cycle is ended. That is, the output side of the timer 87 which sets the cycle continuation maximum time of 10 seconds is connected to one input side of the OR gate 89 through the differentiating circuit 88, and the output side of the OR gate 89 is connected to the reset input side of the third D flip-flop 81. Connect to The Q1 output side and the Q3 output side of the second counter 86 are connected to the input side of a third AND gate 90, respectively, and the output side of the third AND gate 90 is connected to the other input side of the OR gate 89. I do.

Therefore, game balls are successively won in the special winning opening means 33, and the counting detectors 48, 48 detect one of these game balls, and the count detectors 48, 48 send the game balls to the second counter 86 via the waveform shaping circuit 91. When the "H" signal is sent, the counter 86 counts the number of winning balls one by one and sequentially converts outputs Q0 to Q3. Therefore, the decoder 9 is assigned to Q0 to Q3 of the counter 86.
The winning number in the cycle can be digitally displayed on the second display means 68 connected through the second display means 68. And when 10 game balls win in the special winning opening means 33,
The Q0 output of the second counter 86 is “L”, the Q1 output is “H”, the Q2 output is “L”, and the Q3 output is “H”, that is, “10”, and the third D flip-flop 81 An “H” signal is sent to the reset input side, resetting the third D flip-flop 81 to end the first cycle.

On the other hand, 10 special game balls are set in the special winning opening means 33.
When the set time of the timer 87 has passed 10 seconds before the individual winning, the "H" signal from the timer 87 is transmitted to the OR gate 89.
Is sent to the reset input side of the 3D flip-flop 81 via the. And the 3D flip-flop 81 is reset regardless of the number of winnings to the special winning opening means 33.

When the third D flip-flop 81 is reset, the Q output is converted to "L", so that each solenoid 39 is demagnetized, and each special winning opening means 33 is ready to receive the game ball from the second state. Returns to the first state in which no When the third D flip-flop 81 is reset, the inverted Q output is converted to “H”. This “H” resets the second counter 86 and resets the timer 87.

In this state, a game ball enters the special conversion winning port 57, and the "H" signal from the special conversion winning detector 59 is sent to the FIFO.
Upon entering the SI input side of the O register 78, the second D flip-flop 80 is set once and then reset with a slight delay as described above, and the third D flip-flop 81 is set again. Therefore, the special winning opening means 33 is converted into the second state again and updated in the second cycle, and at the same time, the first display means 67 visually displays that it is in the second cycle.

In this way, the special winning opening means 33 is set to "10 seconds" set in the timer 87 or the second counter 86
Every time the stop condition of "10" is established, the ball returns from the second state in which the ball is easily accepted to the first state in which the ball is not accepted, and enters the next cycle on condition that a game ball enters the special conversion winning port 57. Be updated.

The special conversion winning detector 59 continues to operate while the special game is being played, that is, as long as the first D flip-flop 70 maintains the set state.
SI of the FIFO register 78 is detected by detecting the game ball that entered
Send a cycle start signal to the input side. FIFO register 7
8 stores the signal from the special conversion winning detector 59, and until the stored content is exhausted, that is, on the SO input side, the third D flip-flop 81 is set and the inverted Q output changes from "H" to "L". And the number of rises when converting to
The DOR output side is maintained at "H" until the number of "H" signals to the SI input side matches.

When the DOR output side of the FIFO register 78 maintains "H", one input side of the second AND gate 79 becomes "H". Since the other input side of the second AND gate 79 is connected to the inverted Q output side of the third D flip-flop 81, when the third D flip-flop 81 changes from the set state to the reset state, that is, the special winning opening. When the means 33 finishes a cycle and returns from the second state to the first state, the means 33 opens, and when the second D flip-flop 80 is set, it immediately returns to the reset state after a delay of the delay circuit 82, and the same as above. By setting the third D flip-flop 81, the special winning opening means 33 is converted again into the second state in which the ball easily enters, and the cycle is updated to the next cycle.

When the solenoid 39 is demagnetized, the FIF
The second D flip-flop 80 is immediately started to update the cycle of the special winning opening means 33 by the contents stored in the O register 78, but the delay circuit 82 delays the set time of the third D flip-flop 81, that is, the re-excitation of the solenoid 39. The door plate 3 of the special winning opening means 33
It is possible to secure a sufficient time for the ball 5 to close the ball passage opening 34 by urging the spring 41 and the like. Therefore, the special winning opening means 33 surely closes the door plate 35 once and then reopens it, and updates the cycle with moderation. When the special winning opening means 33 actually changes the ball receiving state, that is, when the cycle is updated, the first counter 84
Counts the Q output of the 3D flip-flop 81, so the number of cycles in which the game is played (including those in the game)
Can be visually displayed on the first display means 67.

Further, the number of cycles executed by the special winning opening means 33 and the number of balls entering the special converting winning opening 57 do not always match during the game, and the number of balls entering the special converting winning opening 57 is large. Often becomes. Therefore, in the embodiment shown in the drawing, the detection signal "H" from the special conversion winning detector 59 of the special conversion winning opening 57 is counted by the third counter 93, and this count value is connected to the third display means 69 via the decoder 94. Digital display. Therefore, the third
The display means 69 displays the special conversion winning a prize opening 5 in the special gaming state regardless of the number of cycles executed by the special winning a prize opening means 33.
The number of balls that have entered the number 7, that is, the number of cycles that can be updated is visually displayed.

If the cycle of the special winning opening means 33 is renewed indefinitely as long as the game ball continues to enter the special converting winning opening 57, the game will not be sound and the pachinko parlor will be seriously damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the number of cycles per special game. Therefore, in this embodiment, the Q3 output side of the third counter 93 is connected to the reset input side of the first D flip-flop 70 via the delay circuit 95 in order to enable the updating up to the eighth cycle. Therefore, when 7 game balls enter the special conversion winning opening 57, the special winning opening means 33 can update up to the 7th cycle based on these 7 winnings, and the 8th playing ball is special. Upon entering the winning opening 30, the Q3 output of the third counter 93 is converted to “H” based on the eighth winning, and the first
Since the D flip-flop 70 is reset, one input of the first AND gate 76 is set to “L”. Therefore, the special winning opening means 33 can be updated up to the eighth cycle, but does not shift to the ninth cycle. The third counter 9
Since the delay circuit 95 is provided between the Q3 output side of the third D flip-flop 3 and the reset input side of the first D flip-flop 70, the first D flip-flop 70 is updated after the special winning opening means 33 is surely updated in the eighth cycle. Can be reset.

Further, since the number of entered gaming balls special conversion winning openings 57 are so as to establish the end condition of the special game state, special winning hole means when the special game state end condition is satisfied 33 Regardless of the number of cycle update executions, the first D flip-flop 70 can be reset to forcibly end the special game state. Furthermore, 1D
Connect the inverted Q output to the D input side of the flip-flop 70
Therefore, the first D flip-flop 70 is set.
After the special game state has been created, the auxiliary game means 12 is opened.
When the game balls that enter the mouth are sorted into the special winning opening 30,
The Q output is the same as the D input side due to the signal from the special detector 46.
The signal of the same level, that is, "L" from the inverted Q output.
Therefore, the inverted Q output side of the first D flip-flop 70
"H" from FIFO register 78, first count
Data and the third counter 93 are reset, and the FIF
Special game state regardless of whether or not the contents of the O register 78 are stored
Is ended in the cycle.

That is, the first D flip-flop 7
0 is during the special game state whose Q output is "H"
In addition, the special sphere detection signal from the special detector 46 is received at the T input.
If the Q output is inverted to "L" based on
Then, the third counter 93 counts a predetermined number to reset.
Invert the Q output to "L" based on
Since it is configured as described above, "it is started by the special game state initiation means.
The special game state was created again while the special game state was born.
Whether the condition of occurrence of autobiosis is achieved,
The maximum number of drive cycles of the drive control means is limited.
Or based on the earliest condition being met
, Special game state ending means for ending the special game state "
The function as the above is added to the first D flip-flop 70.
It is possible.

As described above, in this embodiment, even if the game ball entering the auxiliary game means 12 is classified as a special prize and acquires the right of the special game state, the magnitude of the profit differs depending on the subsequent prize mode. . Therefore, the player pays attention so that the game ball does not enter the central opening 14 of the auxiliary game means 12 after the special game state has started, and first, the player shoots the game ball aiming at the special conversion winning opening 57. When the special conversion winning opening 57 is entered, the special winning opening means 33, 33 that have been opened are operated so that as many game balls as possible are entered, and when the special winning opening means 33, 33 are closed. In order to update the cycle, a shooting operation is performed aiming at only the special conversion winning openings 57, 57, and the special gaming state benefits are utilized as much as possible. In this way, the player can play the game according to the progress of the game, and can enjoy the original fun of the pachinko game. In the above, special conversion winning detector 59,5
