  The winning determination means 93 is such that a game ball launched into the game area 7a by a launching device (not shown) that is operated by operating the launching handle 9 wins any of the starting chucker 16, the winning openings 29 and 30, the attacker 17 and the like. When it is, it is determined that there has been a prize.

  The winning signal output means 94 outputs a winning signal indicating that winning has been made to the corresponding starting chucker 16, winning openings 29 and 30, the attacker 17 and the like when the winning determination means 93 determines the winning.

  The first lottery means 95 is an advantageous addition for the player until the next jackpot is won when the winning signal is input from the winning signal output means 94 and the winning with less than the maximum number of reserved balls (for example, four) is triggered. Obtain a winning random number from a lottery memory (not shown) so that one of the probability fluctuations that can give value is won and the normal hit that does not become the special state. Run a lottery.

  The second lottery means 96 is a lottery based on a random number of effects stored in an effect memory (not shown) in the case of winning a big hit lottery in the first lottery means 95. The variation pattern that the symbols such as “111”, “333”, and “777” are finally aligned on the jackpot valid line is determined, and the variation pattern command to that effect 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. The second lottery means 96 is also a lottery based on a random number for the effect when the normal win is won in the big win lottery in the first lottery means 95, and “222”, “444” A variation pattern indicating that symbols such as “888” are finally aligned on the jackpot valid line is determined, and this variation pattern command is output. The second lottery means 96 is also a lottery based on the production random number value when the big lottery lottery in the first lottery means 95 is lost. As a result of fluctuation, “252”, “464”, “838”, etc. The variation pattern that the symbols are finally aligned on the jackpot active line is determined, and this variation pattern command is output.

  The game control means 97 displays a signal related to the contents of the effect to be displayed on the image display device 6 according to the preset effect data and the lottery result in the second lottery means 96, together with the control command, the display control means of the sub-board 105. To 107.

  The holding unit 98 receives the variation pattern command output from the second lottery unit 96 and sequentially stores it as a holding ball that is the result of the lottery performed each time the starter 16 is won. The storage status is transmitted as a corresponding signal from the holding means 98 to the jackpot lottery holding display device 89, and is displayed as a maximum of four holding balls by turning on or off the four LEDs 89a. The holding means 98 always determines whether or not the number H of held balls is 0 <H <5. While the number H of four held balls is displayed, the big hit lottery regardless of the winning to the starting chucker 16 Do not do. Note that the number of reserved balls that are lit and displayed as the reserved balls is not limited to the “maximum of four”, but may be set as appropriate, for example, three or less, or five or more.

  Then, the holding means 98 sequentially sends the fluctuation pattern commands being held (stored) to the display control means 107, and does not send the next fluctuation pattern command until the effect display based on the transmitted fluctuation pattern commands is completed. To set (turn on) a symbol variation prohibition flag to set the symbol variation prohibition flag to be set, and set a symbol variation timer (not shown) for measuring the time to release the turned on symbol variation prohibition flag. In response, the number of reserved balls is decremented by one. Further, the holding means 98 holds the result of the jackpot lottery in response to the winning to the starting chucker 16 performed by the first lottery means 95 when the number H of held balls becomes H <4 according to the consumption of the reserved balls. And the number of reserved balls is incremented by one.

  The operation control means 99 sends a drive signal to the start chucker opening / closing solenoid 103 based on a signal indicating the start of operation of the operation determination means 101 to operate the solenoid 45 to open or close the start chucker 16. Further, the operation control means 99 sends a drive signal to the attacker opening / closing solenoid 104 to actuate the solenoid 41, and when the jackpot is generated by the lottery in the first lottery means 95, the attacker 17 is opened and the predetermined number of winnings is finished (or Control is performed so that the closing operation is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined round) every time a predetermined time elapses).

  The operation determination unit 100 determines whether or not a condition for operating the starter chuck opening / closing solenoid 103 and the attacker opening / closing solenoid 104 is satisfied. That is, in the starter chucker opening / closing solenoid 103, the “condition” of opening / closing the starter chucker 16 is a case where the main board 92 is won by lottery performed separately from the big lottery of the first lottery means 95. . In the attacker opening / closing solenoid 104, when the "condition" of the opening of the attacker 17 is satisfied, three big symbols from the state of so-called reach (including so-called super reach and normal reach) are aligned on the big hit effective line and the big hit is made. This is a case where the occurrence occurs, and the time when the “condition is satisfied” of the blockage of the attacker 17 is when all winnings at the time of occurrence of the jackpot are completed.

  In response to the determination signal from the operation determination unit 100, the operation determination unit 101 determines the start of operation of the starter chuck opening / closing solenoid 103 and the attacker opening / closing solenoid 104, respectively.

  The special symbol display control means 102 controls the operation of the 7-segment LED of the special symbol display device 88 so as to display the result of the big hit lottery in the first lottery means 95.

  The special symbol display device 88 is composed of a 7-segment display device, and displays the result of the big hit lottery in a special symbol. The 7-segment display device is not limited to the 7-segment LED, and a liquid crystal or the like can be used as long as it is configured in a 7-segment shape.

  The jackpot lottery hold display device 89 performs display corresponding to four times of the jackpot lottery by driving the four LEDs 89a to emit light (displays the result of the jackpot lottery).

  The start chucker opening / closing solenoid 103 opens and closes the starter chucker 16 by moving a plunger (not shown) forward and backward in response to the drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 99.

  The attacker opening / closing solenoid 104 opens and closes the attacker 17 by moving a plunger (not shown) forward and backward in response to the drive signal transmitted from the operation control means 99.

  The start chucker winning detection sensor 109 is configured by a proximity switch similar to the first stage introduction detection sensor 82 described above, and is arranged in a game ball passage path in the start chucker 16, and a game that has entered the start chucker 16. The passage of the ball Ba is detected, and the detection signal is transmitted to the second game control means 102 of the main board 92.

  On the other hand, the sub-board 105 has an effect control means 106 and a display control means 107, and the sound emitting device 8, the effect lighting device 23, and the image display device 6 are connected to the sub-board 105.

  The effect control means 106 drives the sound emitting device 8 and the effect lighting device 23 in a timely manner according to the signal supplied from the microprocessor in the main board 92, and performs an effect display appealing to the player's vision and hearing.

  The display control means 107 drives the image display device 6 in a timely manner in accordance with the signal related to the effect contents transmitted from the game control means 97, and the effect display that appeals to the player's vision for the effect of the contents centering on the jackpot lottery result. To do.

  As described above, the sound emitting device 8, the effect lighting device 23, and the image display device 6 perform a normal effect, a special effect at the time of a big hit, or the like by generating sound, light, or the like in response to each control.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  That is, when a player seated facing the pachinko machine 1 holds the firing handle 9 and rotates it to an appropriate angle (step S1), the game ball is moved for a predetermined time by the operation of the launching device (not shown). Fired continuously toward the game area 4 at intervals. Then, a large number of game balls that are launched into the game area 7a of the game board 7 and roll and fall are awarded to the starting chucker 16 and the winning holes 29 and 30 in a timely manner, or roll and fall without contributing to these. The game area 7a is discharged from the bottom out port 22 to the back side of the game board 7.

  That is, a part of the large number of game balls Ba launched toward the game area 7 a is introduced from the warp introduction port 32. The game ball Ba introduced from the warp introduction port 32 falls in the vertical guide groove 67 through the guide groove 74 (FIG. 3), and after the fall speed is reduced by a drop speed suppression mechanism (not shown), 56 is discharged into the side wall 33b of the first croon 33 via the inclined guide surface 58 and rolls so as to rotate along the inner surface of the side wall 33b. The game ball Ba on the first croon 33 is guided to the center portion formed in a spherical shape and lowered at the stage where the rolling speed is weakened due to frictional resistance or the like. It will fall.

  When falling into the through-hole 35, the game ball Ba is discharged from the guide rod 62 into the side wall on the second croon 34 via the inclined guide surface (not shown), and rotates along the inner surface of the side wall. To roll. Then, the game ball Ba on the second croon 34 is led to the central portion having the same shape as the first croon 33 at the stage where the rolling speed is weakened due to frictional resistance or the like. It will fall.

On the other hand, if it is dropped into the through-hole 36 of the first Kroon 33, game ball Ba is emitted toward the second stage S ₂ via the outlet 66 from the guide trough 63, the second stage S ₂ thereof In the left direction of FIG. 2 along the inclination, when rolling, while abutting a plurality of convex portions 47, and meeting the accidental requirements such as abutting the rearmost convex portion 47A at an appropriate angle, The ball is introduced into the ball introduction port 49 and wins the starting chucker 16 from the ball discharge port 53, or cannot fall into the ball introduction port 49 and is dropped from the drop guide groove 52 toward the lower through gate 61a. . Needless to say, even when the ball is introduced into the ball introduction port 49, the starter chucker 16 may not be able to win due to the contact state with the obstacle nail 70.

The second stage S ₂ way game balls Ba rolls, LED corresponding to the central portion 47a of each convex section 47 in the rolling contact surface 72, in response to a signal from the control unit (not shown), previously Light is emitted smoothly so as to flow at a predetermined timing, and the effect on the game ball Ba is enhanced so that the player moves on the martial arts ring.

If it is dropped into the through hole 37 in the second Krohn 34, the gaming ball Ba, along with passing the first stage introduction detecting sensor 82 is detected, the rightmost first stage S ₁ via the guide trough 64 Along the inclination of the rolling surface 71, the rolling surface 71 rolls gently while alternately abutting a plurality of rolling speed suppressing projections 43 positioned on the left and right sides of the rolling surface 71.

Furthermore, the ball enters the ball introduction port 45 at the last part and wins the starting chucker 16 from the ball discharge port 53. Also in this case, it goes without saying that even if it is introduced into the ball introduction port 49, it may not be possible to win the starting chucker 16. Way the first stage S ₁ is the game ball Ba rolling, LED embedded in the side walls 41 and 42, in response to a signal from the control unit (not shown), to flow at a predetermined time The effect on the game ball Ba is enhanced so that the player emits light smoothly and moves as if the player moves through the martial arts ring.

Note that the game ball Ba falling from the second stage S _2, the dropping direction, and have different directions which may be ball entrance passes between the pair of nails 70 on start chucker 16, the nails 70 It is entangled with the obstacle nail 70 which is a so-called life nail by being flipped by a so-called jump nail (not shown) which is driven to the left and right or a road nail (not shown) arranged in the left-right direction from the jump nail. The ball may fall and enter the starting chucker 16.

  By the way, as described above, when the game ball Ba wins any of the starting chucker 16 and the winning openings 29 and 30, the winning determining means 93 determines the winning and the winning signal output means 94 outputs a winning signal. (Step S2). At this time, the holding means 98 always determines whether or not the holding ball H is 0 <H <5. When it is determined that 0 <H <5 is satisfied, the holding variation pattern command is The information is sequentially transmitted to the display control means 107 via the game control means 97, the 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 the transmission of the variation pattern command. In addition, the holding means 98 is a jackpot lottery according to the winning to the start winning opening 26a or 26b performed by the first lottery means 95 when the number H of held balls becomes H <4 according to the consumption of the reserved balls. The result is stored as a reserved ball, and the number of held balls is incremented by one.

  Then, when winning a lottery lottery (step S3), when the first lottery means 95 turns on the winning flag, the second lottery means 96 is a lottery based on the effect random number stored in the effect memory. That is, the variation pattern corresponding to the probability variation or the normal variation is determined.

  Thereby, in step S4, the winning symbol to be displayed on the image display device 6 is set, and the second lottery means 96 outputs a variation pattern command to that effect and the effect display based on the variation pattern command is ended. Until the next variation pattern command is not sent, the symbol variation prohibition flag is turned on, the symbol variation timer for measuring the time to release the turned on symbol variation prohibition flag is set, and the variation pattern command is set. The number of reserved balls is decremented by 1 in response to the transmission of. 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 6 is set, the second lottery means 96 outputs a variation pattern command to that effect, turns on the symbol variation prohibition flag, sets the symbol variation timer, The number of held balls is decremented by 1 in response to the transmission of the fluctuation pattern command.

  As described above, based on the fact that the game control means 97 transmits a signal relating to the contents of effects to be displayed on the image display device 6 together with the control command to the display control means 107 of the sub-board 105, the display control means 107 The display device 6 is driven in a timely manner, and 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 of the first lottery means 95 appears on the screen of the image display device 6, the operation control means 99 opens and closes the attacker at a predetermined timing based on a signal indicating the operation start decision of the operation decision means 101. A drive signal is sent to the solenoid 104 to activate the solenoid 41 to release the attacker 17 and repeat the operation of closing every time a predetermined number of winnings are completed (or a predetermined time elapses) a predetermined number of times (a predetermined round). . Thereby, a large amount of game balls corresponding to the game balls won in the attacker 17 are paid out to the upper plate 13 from the ball supply port 18 (step S6).
