Incidentally, step S106, step S110, step S111 and step S112 in FIG. 9a and step S120, step S1 in FIG. 9b.
21 and step S122 are not the processes performed by the CPU 81,
The operation result by the prize ball payout means and the payout number switching means is shown.

First, the CPU 81 performs initial setting in step S101, then moves to step S102 to start a game,
Next, in step S103, the left lift plate 54 is located below, and the left lift plate operation detection switch SW10 is turned on to detect whether or not the left lift plate 54 has moved upward. Next, in step S104, it is determined whether or not the game ends. When the game end in step S104 is NO, the process proceeds to step S105, and the firing motor M2 is activated by the rotation of the hitting ball handle 10 to move the pachinko ball. Fire at the game board 5. Also, when the game end is YES in step S104, the game ends.

After the step S105, the CPU 81 proceeds to step S107 to determine whether or not the central portion starting winning opening 22 which is a winning opening for winning eight pieces is a winning opening depending on whether the starting opening detection switch SW6 is ON. . In step S107, when the winning at the central starting winning opening 22 is YES, the process proceeds to step S108, and the memory of the control board 73 stores the memory of eight acquisitions by one by the arithmetic means, and then the process proceeds to step S109. Then, the flag of the right lift plate drive solenoid SOL2 is turned on, and step S1
Move to 13. In addition, in step S107, if no winning is detected in the central starting winning opening 22, which is a winning opening for winning eight pieces, the process proceeds to step S113 without performing steps S108 and S109.

In addition, the game ball that has departed toward the game board surface is a special winning opening, the central starting winning opening 22, a normal winning opening 18, 24,
When one of the 29, 31, 34 wins, the winning ball is received by the ball cutting cam 47 rotated by the prize ball paying motor M1, and the connecting rod 55 interlocking with the ball cutting cam 47 is moved upward and lifted to the left. The plate 54 is lifted up, the left lift plate 54 is positioned above, and the left lift plate operation detection switch SW10 is turned off (step S106, step S110, step S111, and step S112).

In step S113, the CPU 81 starts the center winning hole 2
2.Whether there is a prize in one of the regular winning openings 18,24,29,31,34, and whether or not a prize ball is paid out in accordance with this,
It is determined by whether or not the left lift plate operation detection switch SW10 is OFF.

If the left lift plate operation detection switch SW10 is not turned off in step S113, the CPU 81 proceeds to step S114 and disconnects or short-circuits the left lift plate operation detection switch SW10, or disconnects the right lift plate drive solenoid SOL2. An error is detected, and then the process loops to step S103.

In step S113, the left lift plate operation detection switch SW10
When OFF is detected, the CPU 81 proceeds to step S115 and determines whether or not the flag of the right lift plate drive solenoid SOL2 is ON. That is, it is determined whether or not to switch the payout number from the payout number of 13 to the payout number of 8 by storing 8 pieces.

When the flag of the right lift plate drive solenoid SOL2 is turned on in step S115 and the number of payouts is switched by storing 8 pieces, the process proceeds to step S116.
The computing means subtracts 1 from the memory of 8 acquisitions of the memory means of 73, and then it proceeds to step S117 to determine whether or not the memory of 8 acquisitions is 0. In step S117, the memory of 8 acquisitions is stored. When is 0, the process proceeds to step S118, the flag of the right lift plate drive solenoid SOL2 is turned off, and the process proceeds to step S119, while the memory of obtaining eight is 0 in step S117.
If not, the process directly goes to step S119.

After shifting to step S119, the CPU 81 excites the right lift plate drive solenoid SOL2. Right lift plate drive solenoid SO
When L2 is excited, the right lift plate 56 is moved upward, and the ball stoppers 65, 65 of the right lift plate 56 are counted from the prize ball discharge valve 46 in the prize ball case 45 to match the inside and the outside. The prize balls above eight are locked, and immediately after this, the prize ball discharge valve 46 is opened by the upward movement of the left lift plate 54, and eight prize balls in the prize ball case 45 are paid out (step S120 and step).
S121). After the processing of step S119, the CPU 81 returns to the processing of step S103 again.

When the flag of the right lift plate drive solenoid SOL2 is not ON in step S115, that is, when the payout number is not switched, the CPU 81 determines that the right lift plate drive solenoid SOL2
Without exciting 2, wait for 13 prize balls to be paid out and return to step S103.

In this case, due to the upward movement of the left lift plate 54, the ball stoppers 64, 64 of the left lift plate 54 are counted from the prize ball discharge valve 46 in the prize ball case 45, and the inside and the outside are combined to be above 13 pieces. The prize balls are locked, then the prize ball discharge valve 46 is opened and 13 prize balls in the prize ball case 45 are paid out.

Advantageous Effects of Invention According to the pachinko machine of the present invention, it is possible to smoothly and quickly pay out a number of prize balls different from the number of normal prize balls paid out, in response to the occurrence of a prize in a specific winning opening that occurs randomly. The switching from the second number of payouts corresponding to the occurrence of a normal prize to the first number of payouts corresponding to the occurrence of a prize for a specific winning opening is surely performed, and the player can be interested.

Further, the control means for paying out a different number of prize balls corresponding to each prize is compared with a control means configured by mutually connecting an adder / subtractor circuit, a memory circuit, a determination circuit, etc. In the case where the arrangement area of the control means is limited to a specific location for the arrangement of the respective ball guide troughs for guiding the normal winning balls, specific winning balls, out balls, prize balls, etc. on the back side of the game board Since various circuit functions to be combined are integrated into one control device having a central processing unit, a program ROM and a RAM, it is possible to mount the device at a corresponding place and electrically connect many circuits. It is possible to improve the point that it is easy to pick up the electrostatic noise and electromagnetic noise that occur in the game, and it is also possible to set the payout mode of a large number of different prize balls.
This can be done by changing the ROM control program, and it is possible to solve the inconvenience of requiring a drastic device change that requires a memory circuit and a judgment circuit to be added and has a completely different circuit configuration.
