Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine provided with a center accessory in a gaming area.

  Generally, as a game machine, for example, a pachinko machine, a game ball staying in a ball tray is launched into the game area of the game board according to the operation of the launch handle, and then led to obstacle nails or windmills in the game area. On the other hand, there are known ones configured to flow down the board surface and enter various winning holes, or flow into the outlets at the lower part of the game area without entering.

  With such a pachinko machine, when a player enters a general winning opening, a corresponding number of game balls are paid out, and when a player enters a starting chucker, a lottery or production pattern is drawn based on this. And a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Depending on the production pattern selected based on this lottery result, for example, using a liquid crystal display screen provided in the center part of the game board, visual expression through various illumination devices, auditory expression through a speaker, etc. Various productions are performed. When a win (hereinafter also referred to as a “big hit”) occurs (that is, when a lottery in a special game state is won), a big winning opening called an attacker is opened, and a large number of games corresponding to the pitch It becomes a special game state advantageous to the player to which the ball is paid out.

  In the conventional pachinko machine described above, a center decoration (center accessory) is provided at the center of the game area, a warp introduction opening is provided at a side of the center decoration, and a game ball entered from the warp introduction opening is started. Some have a stage that rolls so as to be guided to the side (see Patent Document 1).

  By the way, in the pachinko machine provided with the center decoration as described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, a drop hole is provided in the center of the stage of the center decoration, and the game ball that has fallen into the drop hole is started via the passage. There is a configuration that guides to a chucker, and the route is a so-called 100% route that can make the starting chucker win with a high probability (approximately 100%).

  Below the center ornament 23 in the game area 3a, game balls that have fallen from the stage S, and game balls that have been launched and fall without being involved in the stage S are appropriately scattered or guided to enter the game. A number of obstacle nails, including the obstacle nails 35, are driven. In addition, a large number of obstacle nails are driven around the warp inlets 36 and 37 and on the upper side of the warp inlets 36 and 37 so as to scatter the game balls as appropriate or guide them to the balls.

  Note that the phrase “warp introduction” in the present embodiment means that a game ball launched into the game area 3a is not started through a road nail or the like (not shown) positioned relatively below the game area 3a. It is a concept that means to lead over 30. The “road nail” refers to a row of a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) driven to the left and right of the starting chucker 30 in the game area 3a. It plays the role which guides the starting chucker 30 direction.

  Next, the structure of the center decoration 23 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 is a front view showing the stage S of the center decoration 23 and its periphery, FIG. 3 is a front view showing the center decoration jump stand and its periphery in an enlarged manner, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the stage S. FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the stage S, and FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the stage S viewed from an angle different from that in FIG.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the center ornament 23 has a stage S below the opening 27, a start chuck 28 below the stage S, and a ball release below the start chuck 28. An outlet 29 is provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the stage S includes a ball discharge portion 39 including ball discharge ports 39a and 39b communicating with the warp introduction ports 36 and 37, respectively, and a game ball discharged from the ball discharge port 39a. A first rolling path 48 for rolling the ball, a second rolling path 49 for rolling the game ball discharged from the ball discharge port 39b, and a center portion of the second rolling path 49 so as to project forward. And a third rolling path 50 formed in the above.

  Further, below this third rolling path 50, a jump base 57 for jumping so as to win a game ball from the left and right with respect to the starting chucker 28 disposed at the lower back side of the second rolling path 49, 59 are arranged, and guide paths 56 and 58 for guiding the game balls are arranged on these jump stands 57 and 59, respectively. The guide path 56 is formed as a curved inclined surface that rises in the left-right direction of the stage S from its central portion, and the guide path 58 is a curved shape that rises in the left-right direction of the stage S from its central portion. It is formed as an inclined surface. Further, the rolling paths 48, 49, 50 are all gently inclined so as to send the game ball back from the front side of the center decoration 23 (the front side of the paper in FIG. 2) toward the back side (the back side of the paper in FIG. 2). Is formed. On the far side of the jump tables 57 and 59, openings 76 and 77 that guide the game balls that could not jump over the jump tables 57 and 59 to the rolling part 60 below the openings 55b and 55c, respectively, due to insufficient momentum. Is formed.

  The first rolling path 48 is configured in a wave shape that once rises from a lower position toward the right side of the stage S and then lowers again, and a wall surface portion 44 is formed on the back side. Yes. A drop hole 54 for introducing and dropping a game ball that rolls along the first rolling path 48 is formed in the central portion of the wall surface portion 44, and the first rolling path 48 includes the drop hole. A recess 48 a is formed so as to face 54. Concave portions 48b and 48c are respectively formed at portions of the first rolling path 48 that are lowest on the left and right sides from the concave portion 48a. A game ball is placed on the second rolling path 49 side on the front side of the central portion where the concave portion 48a is located. A front wall portion 61 is formed so as not to be dropped.

  The recess 48a is formed to be slightly inclined toward the drop hole 54 so that a game ball rolling on the first rolling path 48 can easily fall into the drop hole 54. The recesses 48b and 48c A game ball that has rolled on the path 48 and has not fallen into the drop hole 54 is formed to be inclined slightly toward the second rolling path 49 so as to flow down to the second rolling path 49 side. The front wall portion 61 is formed so as to extend in the left-right direction of the stage S along the first rolling path 48. The portions facing the recesses 48b and 48c on the upper edge portion are the recesses 48b and 48c, respectively. The game balls whose momentum (inertial force, etc.) has been weakened by entering the wheel are cut out so that they can be guided to the second rolling path 49 side. In addition, a curved portion 48 d that reverses the reached game ball is formed at the right end of the first rolling path 48.

  In the second rolling path 49, a concave portion 49a is formed at the center in the left-right direction of the stage S, and mountain-shaped branch portions 49b, 49c are formed at positions that are separated from the concave portion 49a by an equal distance in the left and right directions. Recesses 49d and 49e and recesses 49f and 49g are formed in the left and right parts of the branch parts 49b and 49c, respectively. The concave portion 49e and the concave portion 49f are formed to be inclined so as to guide the game ball toward the third rolling path 50 that bulges from the left and right of the central portion of the second rolling path 49 toward the inverted U shape. ing. Thereby, the game ball that has reached the recess 49e and the recess 49f in a state where the momentum is weakened without rolling down the second rolling path 49 and rolling downward, moves toward the third rolling path 50. Will do.

  The concave portion 49d and the concave portion 49g are formed with a slight inclination so that the game balls can flow down in the guide paths 56 and 58, respectively. A front wall portion for preventing the game ball from dropping into the openings 55a, 55b, and 55c between the second rolling path 49 and the third rolling path 50 on the near side of the central portion where the concave portion 49a is located 62 is formed. The front wall portion 62 is formed so as to extend in the left-right direction of the stage S along the second rolling path 49, but the portions facing the concave portions 49a, 49e, 49f at the upper edge portions are the concave portions 49a. , 49e, 49f are cut out so as to guide the game balls, whose momentum is weakened, to the openings 55a, 55b, 55c and the third rolling path 50. Further, a curved portion 49 h that reverses the reached game ball is formed at the right end portion of the second rolling path 49.

  The openings 55a, 55b, and 55c are formed between the third rolling path 50 and the second rolling path 49, and a convex portion is provided on each portion of the third rolling path 50 that faces the opening 55a. 50a is formed. On the left and right sides of the convex portion 50a in the third rolling path 50, concave portions 50e and 50f having lower positions than the convex portion 50a are formed. Bridge portions 50b and 50c are formed so as to extend from the adjacent portions of the recesses 50e and 50f toward the front wall portion 62. Each of the bridge portions 50 b and 50 c is joined to the front wall portion 62 at each end. The bridge portions 50b and 50c are higher in position than the recesses 50e and 50f, and higher in position than the recess 50d formed near the recess 49e of the bridge portion 50b and the recess 50g formed near the recess 49f of the bridge portion 50c. It is formed to become.

  Near the left and right ends of the second rolling path 49 and on the near side of the entire area of the third rolling path 50, a front wall portion 63 is formed to prevent the game ball from dropping to the near side. The front wall portion 63 is formed so as to extend in the left-right direction of the stage S along the second rolling path 49 and the third rolling path 50, but the portions facing the recesses 49d and 49g are respectively 2. The game balls that have entered the rolling path 49 and have weakened momentum (inertial force, etc.) are cut out so that they can be guided to the guide paths 56 and 58.

  The starter chucker 28 is located below the opening 55a. When the starter chucker 28 is in an open state, the game has fallen from the concave portion 49a, the convex portion 50a, and the concave portions 50e and 50f that face the opening 55a. The ball can almost certainly win the starting chucker 28. The opening 55b is formed to the left from substantially the left end portion of the starting chucker 28, and the opening 55c is formed to the right from the substantially right end portion of the starting chucker 28. For this reason, the game ball that has been guided to the third rolling path 50 and dropped from the concave portion 50d or the concave portion 50g cannot win the chucker 28 even if the starting chucker 28 is open, or the direction in which the game ball falls. You can win well when you are close to the starting chucker 28. Further, the game ball rolling and moving on the bridge portions 50b and 50c from the third rolling path 50 side falls to the opening 55a side or falls to the openings 55b and 55c side depending on the momentum and the rolling direction at that time. To do.

  The above-described guide paths 56 and 58 are formed on the left and right below the third rolling path 50, and jump stands 57 and 59 are formed between the guide paths 56 and 58 so as to face each other. Yes. In the guide path 56, the game ball flowing down from the recess 49 d proceeds to the jump stand 57 along the guide path 56 while rolling on the front wall portion 69 formed to project upward on the front side of the guide path 56, and the momentum is weakened. If not, jump to the starting chucker 28 from the side. This progresses in the same way on the guide path 58 side, but if the start chucker 28 is released in a timely manner when jumping, the game ball can jump (win).

  In this embodiment, as described above, the jump tables 57 and 59 are arranged on the left and right sides (one side and the other side) of the stage S in the left-right width direction. Only one of the above may be arranged on the stage S so that the player can visually recognize the jump of the game ball from the one jump stand (57 or 59).

  In addition, as a result of flowing down any of the rolling paths 48, 59, 50 on the stage S, the guide paths 56, 58, or the jump bases 57, 59 between the jump bases 57, 59, the start chucker 28 A rolling part 60 is formed through which game balls that could not be won are guided. The rolling part 60 has a concave part 24 positioned above the ball discharge port 29 and is formed so as to be inclined at a gentle angle from the jump bases 57 and 59 toward the concave part 24.

  In the rolling part 60, the momentum (inertial force, etc.) at the time of rolling from the guide paths 56, 58 to the jump bases 57, 59 is insufficient, and the game ball guided to the openings 76, 77 also rolls and moves. come. Then, the game ball rolling from the recess 24 by rolling on the rolling part 60 is appropriately directed to the starter chucker 30 or tangled with obstacle nails (life nails) 35, 35. If it passes between 35 and 35 well, the starter chucker 30 is won. 2 to 6 indicate a bracket portion used when the center decoration 23 is fixed to the game board 3.

  The upper edge portion of the bracket portion 4 forms a front wall portion extending in the left-right direction of the stage S, and a game ball is placed on the lower side of the starting chucker 30 at a position facing the concave portion 24 of the front wall portion. A notch 60a that is cut out relatively widely is formed. The notch 60a is formed wider than the interval between the obstacle nails 35 and 35. Therefore, the game ball falling from the notch 60a falls well in the direction toward the starting chucker 30, or the obstacle nails 35 and 35. The start chucker 30 can be won only when it is entangled well and falls between the nails 35, and therefore, the winning probability is lower than that of the game ball released from the ball outlet 29.

  As described above, the center ornament 23 of the present embodiment can win a part of the game balls that have moved and moved on the stage S, with the starter chucker 28 that receives a winning as a trigger for the lottery in the special gaming state. The stage S has rolling paths 48, 49, and 50 for rolling the introduced game ball so as to be sequentially lowered toward the front side of the stage S.

  These rolling paths 48, 49, and 50 are inclined so as to move the game ball to the back side of the stage S that intersects the rolling direction of the left and right width direction of the stage S, and of the introduced game balls While the rolling force is relatively strong, the game ball continues to roll in the upper rolling path, and when the rolling force becomes relatively weak, the gaming ball flows down to the next rolling path side. The concave portions 48b, 48c, 49a, 49d, 49e, 49f, 49g, 50d, 50e, 50f, and 50g are inclined. The third rolling path 50 is also inclined to move the game ball to the back side of the stage that intersects the rolling direction in the lateral width direction of the stage S. Thus, a game ball that has entered by rolling from the branching portion 49b or 49c in the upper second rolling path 49 follows the front wall 63 while its rolling force (moment due to inertial force, etc.) is relatively strong. When the rolling force continues to roll in the third rolling path 50 and the rolling force becomes relatively weak, the recesses 50d, 50e, 50f, and 50g or the bridge portions 50b and 50c serve as the next rolling path. It flows down to the rolling part 60.

  Further, as described above, the third rolling path 50 is formed so as to protrude to the front side of the stage from the second rolling path 49 adjacent to the upper stage side, and between the second and third rolling paths 49 and 50. The starter chucker 28 is disposed below the openings 55a to 55c. When the starter chucker 28 is in an open state, the game falls from the third rolling path 50 or the second rolling path 49 into the openings 55a to 55c. A ball is configured to win the starting chucker 28.

  Next, the opening / closing control mechanism in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the stage S so that the opening / closing control mechanism of the starting chucker 28 can be seen.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a drop hole 54 and a game ball flow path 65 communicating with the drop hole 54 and communicating with the upper part of the starter chucker 30 through the drop hole 54 are provided at the center on the back side of the stage S. Is formed. The game ball flow path 65 introduces a game ball rolling on the stage S and guides the starter chucker 30 to win with a high probability (approximately 100%). A proximity sensor 64 that detects a game ball falling in the game ball flow path 65 is disposed at a central portion in the vertical direction of the game ball flow path 65. The proximity sensor 64 has a passage hole 64a, and detects the game ball by detecting a change in the magnetic field when the game ball passes through the passage hole 64a. The detection result can be reflected in the effect contents on the screen of the image display device 34.

  The release lever 67 is supported so as to freely rotate upward and downward around the rotation shaft 67a with the lever portion 67b protruding into the game ball channel 65. When a game ball rolling on the first rolling path 48 of the stage S is introduced into the game ball flow path 65 from the drop hole 54, it opens and closes triggered by the contact of the metal game ball flowing down with its own weight. The control mechanism 68 is activated, and the opening / closing member (opening / closing part) 28a moves to the open position to open the starting chucker 28. At this time, when the game ball wins the starting chucker 28 in the open position, the open / close member 28a is returned to the closed position based on the pressing force of the game ball, and the big win lottery by the third lottery means 85 (see FIG. 8). (Lottery in special game state) is performed. The opening / closing member 28a of the starting chucker 28 is supported in the front-rear direction of the center ornament 23, that is, the front-rear direction of the stage S (the left-right direction in FIG. 7) while the lower part is pivotally supported by the rotating shaft 66 extending in the left-right direction of the stage S. It is configured to freely rotate about the rotation shaft 66.

The opening / closing control mechanism 68 is rotated by the rotation shaft 67a below the opening / closing member 28a. It has a release lever 67 that is freely supported. The release lever 67 has a lever portion 67b extending rearward of the rotating shaft 67a. The lever portion 67b protrudes into the game ball flow path 65, and the game ball introduced into the game ball flow path 65. Is configured to open the open / close member 28a in the closed state when it contacts the lever portion 67b. When the opening / closing member 28a is in the open state, the starter chucker 28 wins a part of the game balls that roll and move on the stage S without being introduced into the game ball flow path 65, and a predetermined number of game balls. Is configured to close the opening / closing member 28a when winning. The number of game balls (predetermined number) for closing the opening / closing member 28a is one in the present embodiment, but is not limited to this, and may be set as appropriate according to the design, such as two or more.

  In the present embodiment, the starting chucker 28 is configured in a so-called attacker shape, but is not limited thereto, and may be configured as a so-called tulip having an opening / closing operation type. Further, even a so-called attacker-like starter chucker is not limited to a shape that can be won in the entire region in the left-right width direction as in the present embodiment, and is provided separately on the left and right sides in the width direction. Of course, it may be configured as a starter chucker having a plurality of winning portions that can win game balls one by one.

  Next, the back structure of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a rear view showing the rear structure of the pachinko machine 1.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 8, a prize ball tank 43 is attached to the upper left side of the back of the front door of the pachinko machine 1, and the sub control board 38 and the main control board are located below the prize ball tank 43. 40 and the payout control board 51 are arranged in this order.

A locking device 13 is disposed on the left side of the back surface of the front door of the pachinko machine 1.

  Next, the control system of the pachinko machine 1 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The figure is a block diagram showing a control system of the pachinko machine.

  That is, the present control system includes a game control device 80, a start chucker opening / closing solenoid 70, an attacker opening / closing solenoid 71, a sound emitting device 12, an effect lighting device 11, and an image display, which are electrically connected to the game control device 80. Device 34.

  The game control device 80 includes the main control board 40 and the sub control board 38 shown in FIG. The main control board 40 manages the entire operation of the pachinko machine 1 in an integrated manner, and includes a system program for managing the entire operation of the pachinko machine 1 and a semiconductor memory in which a game execution program is stored in advance. And a storage unit (not shown) and a microprocessor (MPU) (not shown) that executes these programs. The sub-control board 38 is configured to mainly perform display control of image display, effects such as sound effects, and effect light.

  The game control device 80 includes a winning determination means 81, a winning signal output means 82, a first lottery means 83, a second lottery means 84, a third lottery means 85, a normal symbol lottery means 94, a game control means 86, a holding means 87, An operation control unit 88, an operation determination unit 89, an operation determination unit 90, an effect control unit 91, and a display control unit 92 are provided.

  In the winning determination means 81, game balls launched into the game area 3a by a launching device (not shown) operated by operating the launching handle 2 are started chuckers 28, 30, 33, winning openings 25a, 25b, winning openings 26a, When the player wins any of 26b, attacker 5, etc., it is determined that the winning has been made.

  The winning signal output means 82, when the winning determining means 81 determines the winning, the winning chuckers 28, 30, 33, winning openings 25a, 25b, winning openings 26a, 26b, the attacker 5, etc. are won. Output a signal.

  When the winning signal corresponding to the start chucker 30 from the winning signal output means 82 is input, the first lottery means 83 is the total maximum number of reserved balls (for example, nine) with the second and third lottery means 84 and 85 side. When the winning is less than, the winning random number is obtained from a lottery memory (not shown) and a big winning lottery (special game state lottery) is executed. When the winning signal corresponding to the starting chucker 33 is input from the winning signal output means 82, the second lottery means 84 is the total maximum number of reserved balls (for example, nine) with the first and third lottery means 83, 85 side. When the winning is less than, the winning random number is obtained from a lottery memory (not shown) and the big hit lottery is executed. When the winning signal corresponding to the starting chucker 28 is input from the winning signal output means 82, the third lottery means 85 is the total maximum number of reserved balls (for example, nine) with the first and second lottery means 83, 84 side. When the winning is less than, the winning random number is obtained from a lottery memory (not shown) and the big hit lottery is executed.

  In the present embodiment, when the jackpot is won by any one of the first to third lottery means 83, 84, 85, the attacker 5 is opened once by the attacker opening / closing solenoid 71 operated by the control of the operation control means 88. When nine balls (that is, nine counts) are completed, the ball is closed, and this opening / closing operation is repeated 15 times (15 rounds).

  When the first to third lottery means 83, 84, and 85 are each won by the jackpot lottery per probability fluctuation, the first lottery means 83, 84, and 85 change the lottery based on the random number value of the effect stored in the effect memory (not shown). As a result, a variation pattern indicating that symbols such as “333” and “777” are finally aligned on the jackpot effective line on the screen of the image display device 34 is determined, and a variation pattern signal indicating that is output. The “big hit effective line” means a position (line) where symbols should be arranged in a row in order to obtain a big hit. In addition, when the first to third lottery means 83, 84, 85 are respectively won in the big hit lottery, the lottery based on the production random number value results in fluctuations such as “222” and “444”. The variation pattern that the symbols are finally aligned on the jackpot effective line is determined, and the variation pattern signal to that effect is output. Further, when the first to third lottery means 83, 84, 85 are respectively lost in the jackpot lottery, “258” and “186” corresponding to the loss as a result of the fluctuation by lottery based on the production random value. And the like, and a variation pattern signal indicating that the symbols such as are finally aligned on the jackpot effective line is determined, and a variation pattern signal indicating that is output.

  The normal symbol lottery means 94 performs a normal symbol lottery for determining whether or not the start chucker 33 is opened / closed, and enters the normal symbol operation gate 32 within the range of the number of reserved balls of the normal symbol lottery (for example, four). Executed when

  The game control means 86 sends to the effect control means 91 a command that triggers the sound emitting device 12 and the effect lighting device 11 to produce effects such as sound emission and light emission driving. Further, the game control means 86 is related to the jackpot lottery to be displayed on the screen of the image display device 34 according to the preset effect data and the lottery results in the first to third lottery means 83, 84, 85. A signal related to the effect contents to be sent is sent to the display control means 92.

  The holding means 87 receives the fluctuation pattern signal output from any of the first to third lottery means 83, 84, 85, and the fluctuation pattern is performed each time the starter chuckers 28, 30, 33 are won. It memorizes sequentially as a reserved ball as a result of the lottery. The storage status is lit and displayed on a jackpot lottery hold display device (not shown) so that the sum of the start chuckers 28, 30, and 33 is, for example, nine hold balls at maximum. In this case, the holding means 87 always determines whether or not the total number of balls to be held is 9, and while the number of balls to be held is displayed, winning to the starting chuckers 28, 30, and 33 is achieved. Despite this, no big lottery will be held. It should be noted that the number of reserved balls that are lit and displayed as the reserved balls is not limited to the “maximum 9” given as an example, but may be other numbers.

  The holding means 87 sequentially outputs a signal related to the fluctuation pattern that is held (stored), and prevents the next fluctuation pattern signal from being output until the effect display based on the fluctuation pattern signal ends. A variation prohibition flag is set (turned on), and a symbol variation timer (not shown) for measuring the time for releasing the turned symbol variation prohibition flag is set, and the number of held balls according to the output of the variation pattern signal Is decremented by 1. Further, the holding means 87, when the number of held balls becomes less than 9, for example, according to the consumption of the reserved balls, the starter chucks 28, 30, 33 performed by the first to third lottery means 83, 84, 85 are performed. The result of the jackpot lottery in response to winning is stored as a holding ball, and the number of holding balls is incremented by one.

  The operation control unit 88 sends a drive signal to the start chucker opening / closing solenoid 70 based on a signal indicating the start of operation of the operation determination unit 90 to operate the solenoid 70 to open / close the start chucker 33. When the jackpot is won, the operation control means 88 sends a drive signal to the attacker opening / closing solenoid 71 to control the opening / closing operation for, for example, 15 rounds.

  The operation determining means 89 determines whether or not a condition for operating the starter chuck opening / closing solenoid 70 and the attacker opening / closing solenoid 71 is satisfied. That is, in the starter chuck opening / closing solenoid 70, the “satisfaction” condition of opening / closing the starter chucker 33 is a case where the normal symbol lottery means 94 wins the normal symbol lottery. In each of the attacker open / close solenoids 71, when the condition of opening the attacker 5 is “satisfied”, three same symbols are arranged on the jackpot effective line from the state of so-called reach (including so-called super reach and normal reach). This is a case where a jackpot is generated, and the time when the “condition” of the blockage is satisfied is a case where winning in all rounds when the jackpot occurs is completed.

  In response to the determination signal from the operation determination unit 89, the operation determination unit 90 determines the start of operation of the starter chuck opening / closing solenoid 70 and the attacker opening / closing solenoid 71, respectively.

  In response to the command of the game control means 86, the effect control means 91 performs sound output driving of the sound emitting device 12 and light emission drive of the effect lighting device 11 to perform an effect appealing to the player's hearing and vision.

  The display control unit 92 drives the image display device 34 in accordance with the signal from the game control unit 86, and displays the effect such as the contents centering on the jackpot lottery result so as to appeal to the player's vision. At that time, the display control means 92 divides each lottery result by the first to third lottery means 83, 84, 85 according to a signal from the game control means 86, for example, by dividing the screen of the image display device 34 into three. The effect is displayed in time series in each display area, or the effect is displayed in time series in the form of using the entire display area integrally.

  The start chucker opening / closing solenoid 70 opens and closes the start chucker 33 by moving a plunger (not shown) forward and backward in response to the drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 88. The attacker open / close solenoid 71 opens and closes the attacker 5 by moving a plunger (not shown) forward and backward in response to the drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 88.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. That is, when a player who is seated facing the pachinko machine 1 holds the launch handle 2 and rotates it to an appropriate angle (step S1), the game ball 3 is played at predetermined time intervals by the operation of the launch device. Fired continuously towards Then, a large number of game balls that are launched into the game area 3a and roll and fall are timely awarded to or involved in the start chuckers 28, 30, 33, the winning holes 25a, 25b, the winning holes 26a, 26b, etc. Without rolling, it is discharged to the back side of the game board 3 from an out port (not shown) at the bottom of the game area 3a.

  When a part of a large number of game balls launched into the game area 3a enters one of the warp introduction ports 36 and 37, the game ball is discharged onto the stage S from the ball discharge port 39a or 39b. Thereafter, the rolling operation is performed as follows.

  For example, a game ball released from the ball discharge port 39a is released to the first rolling path 48, but at a point of momentum (inertial force, etc.) immediately after the release, it gets over the recesses 48b and 48a and enters the recess 48c side. After rolling over the recess 48c, it turns back at the curved portion 48d at the right end of the first rolling path 48, gets over the recess 48c again, and rolls in the vicinity of the recess 48a. At this time, if the concave portion 48a is reached with an appropriate momentum, when it enters the concave portion 48a, it falls into the drop hole 54 according to the inclination of the concave portion 48a.

  Then, the metal game ball dropped by its own weight into the drop hole 54 is detected when passing through the passage hole 64a of the proximity sensor 64, and the lever portion 67b of the release lever 67 is momentarily pushed downward, The ball is discharged from the ball discharge port 29 and wins the starting chucker 30 with a high winning probability (approximately 100%). At this time, although the opening / closing member 28a is in the closed position, when the lever portion 67b of the release lever 67 is pushed down, the opening / closing member 28a is rotated to the front side in FIG.

  On the other hand, if the game ball rolls to the recess 48b side without falling into the drop hole 54, the game ball rolls back directly from the recess 48b or to the ball discharge port 39a side and then turns to the branch portion 49b side. It moves to the concave portion 49d side or the concave portion 49e side at the branch portion 49b. This distribution is determined by the difference in momentum when the game ball enters the branching portion 49b, its direction, and the like. These operations are the same when entering the branching portion 49c from the concave portion 48c side.

  For example, when the game ball is distributed from the branching portion 49b to the concave portion 49e, the game ball may roll toward the third rolling path 50 according to the state of entry from the concave portion 48b. In this case, the game ball falls from the recess 50d to the opening 55b according to the momentum, and falls to the opening 55b or the opening 55a while crossing the bridge portion 50b toward the front wall 62, or the recess 50e and the projection. 50a or the recess 50f will drop into the opening 55a. At this time, if the opening / closing member 28a of the start chucker 28 is opened in a timely manner, the start chucker 28 is won. Further, when the game ball does not fall at these parts, it further rolls toward the bridge portion 50c, falls to the opening 55a side or the opening 55c while crossing the bridge portion 50c toward the front wall portion 62 side, or If the bridge portion 50c is climbed over to the concave portion 50g side, it falls from the concave portion 50g to the opening 55c. Also in these cases, the starter chucker 28 is won if the opening / closing member 28a is opened in a timely manner.

  On the other hand, when the game ball is released from the ball discharge port 39b, the game ball rolls and moves on the second rolling path 49, but at the moment of moment immediately after the release, the concave portion 49d, the branching portion 49b, the concave portion 49e. Over the recess 49a, and after getting over the recess 49a, it is turned back at the curved portion 49h at the right end of the second rolling path 49, again over the recess 49g and the branching portion 49c, and in the vicinity of the recess 49a. Roll. At this time, if the concave portion 49a is reached with an appropriate momentum, when the concave portion 49a is entered, the concave portion 49a falls into the opening 55a in accordance with the inclination of the concave portion 49a toward the opening 55a. At this time, if the opening / closing member 28a is open, the starter chucker 28 is won.

  When the game ball rolling on the second rolling path 49 flows down from the concave portion 49d or the concave portion 49g to the guide path 56 or the guide path 58, the game ball passes through the jump base 57 or the jump base 59. Jump to the starting chucker 28 from its side. At this time, if the opening / closing member 28a is open, the starter chucker 28 is won from the side gap or the upper gap.

  In addition, when the momentum of the game ball flowing down from the concave portion 49d to the guide path 56 is weak, or when the momentum is weakened due to strong contact with the front wall portion 69, the game ball passes from the opening 76 to the lower side of the opening 55b. After entering the rolling part 60, it falls from a notch 60 a in the upper edge of the bracket 4 on the front surface of the rolling part 60. At this time, if the direction of the fall is appropriate, the starter chucker 30 is won by successfully passing between the obstacle nails 35 and 35.

  By the way, when the game ball wins any of the start chuckers 28, 30, 33 and the winning openings 25a, 25b, 26a, 26b, the winning determination means 81 determines the winning and the winning signal output means 82 A winning signal is output (step S2). At this time, the holding unit 87 sequentially transmits a signal related to the variation pattern being held to the display control unit 92 via the game control unit 86, and decrements the number of held balls by 1 in accordance with the transmission of the variation pattern signal. . Moreover, the holding means 87 holds the result of the jackpot lottery according to the winning to the starting chuckers 30, 33, 28 performed by the first to third lottery means 83, 84, 85 according to the consumption of the holding ball. And the number of reserved balls is incremented by one.

  In step S3, when winning in the big hit lottery, if the corresponding side of the first to third lottery means 83, 84, 85 turns on the win flag, the probability is determined by the lottery based on the effect random number stored in the effect memory. A variation pattern corresponding to either per variation or normal is determined.

  Thereby, in step S4, the winning symbol to be displayed on the image display device 34 is set, and the corresponding ones of the first to third lottery means 83, 84, 85 output a variation pattern signal to that effect. In order to measure the time to turn on the symbol variation prohibition flag and release the turned on symbol variation prohibition flag so that the next variation pattern signal is not transmitted until the effect display based on the variation pattern signal is finished. The symbol variation timer is set, and the number of reserved balls is decremented by 1 in response to transmission of the variation pattern signal. On the other hand, when the winning is a lottery lottery, a variation pattern is determined in which lottery based on a random number value stored in the effect memory results in the final matching of symbols corresponding to the loss as a result of the variation. Thereby, the off symbol displayed on the image display device 34 is set, and the corresponding ones of the first to third lottery means 83, 84, 85 output a variation pattern signal to that effect and a symbol variation prohibition flag. Is turned on, the symbol variation timer is set, and the number of reserved balls is decremented by 1 in response to transmission of the variation pattern signal.

  As described above, the display control unit 92 drives the image display device 34 in a timely manner based on the fact that the game control unit 86 transmits to the display control unit 92 a signal relating to the contents of effects to be displayed on the image display device 34. Then, the contents related to the jackpot lottery result are displayed so as to appeal to the player's vision (step S5).

  When the lottery result appearing on the screen of the image display device 34 is a jackpot determination during the ball game while visually recognizing the effect display, the operation control means 88 determines the operation start determination of the operation determination means 90. Based on the signal to that effect, a drive signal is sent to the attacker opening / closing solenoid 71 at a predetermined timing, the solenoid 71 is operated to open the attacker 5, and is closed every time a predetermined number of winnings are completed (or a predetermined time elapses). The operation is repeated for a predetermined round. As a result, a large amount of game balls corresponding to the game balls won in the attacker 5 are paid out from the ball supply port 17 to the dish unit 16 (step S6).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the center ornament 23 can win the game ball that has been rolled and moved on the stage S as a trigger for the big win lottery, and the game ball that has been moved and moved on the stage S is the start chucker. Jump bases 57 and 59 arranged so as to jump toward 28. For this reason, the game can be advanced while allowing the player to visually recognize a novel effect of causing the game ball flowing down through the stage S to jump into the starting chucker 28 disposed in the center ornament 23 itself. Thereby, it is possible for the player to enjoy the movement of the game ball on the stage S, to enhance the interest and to further improve the game performance.

  Further, the jump tables 57 and 59 are arranged on at least one of the stages S in the left-right width direction, and the start chucker 28 is arranged at a position where the game ball jumped on the jump tables 57 or 59 can be won from the side. For this reason, the game can be advanced in a situation in which the game ball jumps from the side of the starting chucker 28 and is very easy for the player looking from the front to view. Further, since the opening / closing member 28a provided in the starting chucker 28 is disposed so as to be pivotable in the front-rear direction of the center ornament 23 in a state where the lower portion is pivotally supported, the opening / closing member has a relatively simple and cost-effective structure. The opening / closing structure 28a is realized.

  In the present embodiment, the first, second, and third lottery units 83, 84, and 85 are provided so that the lottery is performed in response to winning of the starting chuckers 30, 33, and 28. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The first lottery means 83 is made to correspond to the starter chucker 30, the second lottery means 84 is made to correspond to the starter chuckers 28 and 33, and the third lottery means 85 is made common. Of course, the present invention can also be applied to the pachinko machine 1 having such a configuration.

  Next, a modified example of the starting chucker 28 provided in the center decoration 23 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a view showing a modified example of the starting chucker, where (a) is a front view of the starting chucker, (b) is a side view showing the opened state of the starting chucker, and (c) is the starting chucker. It is a side view which shows the closed state of a chucker.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the starter chucker 98 in this modification has an opening / closing member (opening / closing part) 98a that opens and closes with respect to the opening 98b of the starter chucker 98, and starts in the previous embodiment. Like the chucker 28, it is arranged between the jump stands 57 and 59. The opening / closing member 98 a is configured in a substantially L shape in side view, and is supported by a slide support mechanism 95 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction of the center ornament 23. As shown in FIG. 11 (b), the opening / closing member 98a has openings 93a and 93b that open to the jump bases 57 and 59 in a state of sliding in the front direction (left side of the figure) of the center ornament 23. ing. The openings 93a and 93b are partitioned from each other by a partition wall 99 formed so as to extend in the rearward direction of the center ornament 23 at the left and right central portions of the opening / closing member 98a.

  The slide support mechanism 95 has a slide support member 96 fixed to the center ornament 23 side, and the slide support member 96 has both sides at the bottom of the L-shaped opening / closing member 98a (FIG. 11B). The four guide members 97 projectingly formed on the front side (back side) of the paper are inserted and slidably supported.

  The starter chucker 98 having such a configuration is similar to the starter chucker 28 in the previous embodiment, when a game ball is brought into contact with the lever portion 67b of the release lever 67 via a mechanically known mechanism (not shown). In response to the turning force of the release lever 67, the opening / closing member 98a slides in the direction of arrow A in FIG. Further, when a predetermined number of game balls enter (wins) the starter chucker 98 in the open state, the opening / closing member 98a is moved to the open / close member 98a through FIG. 11 (c) via a known mechanical mechanism (not shown). Slide in the direction of arrow B and close.

  Then, the starter chucker 98 takes the game ball jumping from the left and right via the jump stands 57 and 59 into the inside through the opening 98b while abutting against the partition wall 99 in the opened state of the opening / closing member 98a. The upper edge 99a of the partition wall 99 is inclined so as to descend toward the inner side of the starter chucker 98 (right side in FIG. 11B), and the game ball falling from above the opening / closing member 98a is moved to the starter chucker. 98 is formed so as to be easily fed into the interior.

  According to the starter chucker 98 of the present modification, substantially the same effect as that of the starter chucker 28 described above can be obtained, and the opening / closing member 98a is slidably supported in the front-rear direction of the center ornament 23, and the center By having the openings 93a and 93b opened to the jump bases 57 and 59 in a state where the ornament 23 is slid in the forward direction, it is advantageous to allow the game balls jumped on the jump bases 57 and 59 to jump from the side. The effect of realizing a simple structure can also be obtained.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the suitable embodiment and modification, the game machine of this invention is not limited only to the structure of the said embodiment and modification, The said embodiment and modification A gaming machine in which various modifications and changes are made from the configuration of the example is also included in the scope of the present invention.
