When a ball is won and any special rotation pattern is selected by the rotation pattern selection means 66, the normal lamp effect pattern is switched to the special lamp effect pattern corresponding to the special rotation pattern, and the special rotation pattern When the duration period ends, the special lamp effect pattern is switched to the normal lamp effect pattern.
[0068]
Next, the operation in the pachinko machine will be described based on an example of an operation history shown in FIG. When the power switch of the gaming machine main body 1 is turned on and becomes ready for gaming, or at least when the player operates the firing handle 10, the rotating body 37 of the variable winning means 14 is controlled by the rotation control means 67. A normal rotation pattern, that is, a medium speed / forward rotation is driven by the control, and a normal sound effect pattern, that is, music a is output from the speaker 73 at a normal speed by the control of the sound effect means 75. Under the control of the lamp effect means 77, the normal lamp effect pattern, that is, flashing light emission at blue and medium speed.
[0069]
When a game ball is fired by the launching means 9 during the game, the game ball enters the game area 12 through the guide rail 11 and then wins the normal winning means 19 or the like while falling in the game area 12 or starts. It falls downward while passing through the means 18.
[0070]
When the game ball passes the starting means 18, the opening / closing control means 61 opens the opening / closing claw 24 of the variable winning means 14 for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds). When the game ball enters the entrance 23 of the variable winning means 14 while the opening / closing claw 24 is opened, the game ball falls along the front cover 29 to the lowermost front side of the sorting chamber 31, It will be in the state guided by 36 to the distribution chamber 31 side.
[0071]
The game balls on the guide unit 36 are held in either one specific ball receiving unit 39a or four normal ball receiving units 39b provided in a rotating body 37 that rotates in a normal rotation pattern, and Sent to the upper side. Then, the game ball held in the normal ball receiving portion 39b passes through the normal discharge port 25 and is sent to the back side of the game board 4 and is detected by the normal detection switch 42 through the normal guide passage 40, and then the game board. 4 is dropped and recovered.
[0072]
On the other hand, the game ball held in the specific ball receiving portion 39 a passes through the specific discharge port 26 and is sent to the back side of the game board 4. Then, the game ball is discharged again from the front discharge port 44 to the front side of the game board 4 through the specific guide passage 41 and the guide rod 43 on the distribution means 15 side, and is detected by the specific detection switch 45, and then the swinging body. 51 enters the ball receiver 53 and stops there.
[0073]
When the specific detection switch 45 detects a game ball, the random number lottery means 62 extracts the generated random number value, and the determination means 63 determines whether or not to make a big hit mode from the lottery random number value, and stops according to the determination result The symbol selection means 64 selects the stop symbol after the game symbol changes, and the variation pattern selection means 65 has a plurality of types based on at least one of the determination result of the determination means 63 and the selection result of the stop symbol selection means 64. One of the fluctuation patterns is selected.
[0074]
Here, it is assumed that the determination result of the determination unit 63 is the detachment mode determination, the stop symbol selection unit 64 selects the detachment mode “5, 3, 6”, and the variation pattern selection unit selects a predetermined variation pattern without reach. To do.
[0075]
The rotation pattern selection unit 66 selects one of a plurality of types (four types) of special rotation patterns based on the stop symbol mode selected by the stop symbol selection unit 64. Here, it is assumed that the first special rotation pattern that reversely rotates the rotating body 37 at a high speed is selected for the disengagement mode “5, 3, 6” that does not go through reach.
[0076]
Then, the control command transmission means 70 sends the game symbol stop symbol command, variation pattern command, stop command, etc. to the symbol control board 56 side, the special rotation pattern selected by the rotation pattern selection means 66, the start of the special rotation pattern and A command indicating the end or the like is transmitted to the symbol control board 56, the voice control board 57, and the lamp control board 58 by one-way communication.
[0077]
On the symbol control board 56 side, the command from the control command transmission unit 70 is analyzed, and the symbol control unit 71 changes the game symbol on the symbol display unit 13a according to the reachless variation pattern selected by the variation pattern selection unit 65. It is displayed and stopped at the stop symbol mode “5, 3, 6” selected by the stop symbol selecting means 64.
[0078]
When the variation of the game symbol is stopped (FIG. 9A), the rotation control means 67 switches the control of the rotation driving means 38 from the normal rotation pattern to the first special rotation pattern selected by the rotation pattern selection means 66. Thereby, the rotation state of the rotating body 37 changes from medium speed / forward rotation to high speed / reverse rotation. The rotation state of the rotating body 37 according to the first special rotation pattern is continued for a duration set corresponding to the first special rotation pattern, that is, until the variable winning means 14 is released twice, and thereafter The rotation pattern is switched (FIG. 9B).
[0079]
In response to the change in the rotation state of the rotator 37, the display effect means 72, the sound effect means 75, and the lamp effect means 77 perform effects related to the rotation state of the rotator 37.
[0080]
First, when the rotation state of the rotator 37 is switched from the normal rotation pattern to the first special rotation pattern (FIG. 9A), the display effect means 72 is changed to the first special rotation pattern during the rotation. The word “high speed / reverse rotation” indicating the rotation state by one specific rotation pattern is continuously displayed on the rotation state display means 13b, for example, and the word “twice” indicating the duration of the first specific rotation pattern is displayed. The duration displayed on the duration display means 13c and the duration displayed on the duration display means 13c is counted down from "2 times" to "1 time" every time the variable winning means 14 is opened and the duration period elapses. indicate.
[0081]
At least while the rotating body 37 is driven in the specific rotation pattern, a command indicating the operation of the variable winning means 14 is transmitted from the control command transmitting means 70 to the symbol control board 56 side every time the variable winning means 14 is operated. Then, the display effect means 72 recognizes the opening of the variable winning means 14 by this command.
[0082]
Further, when the rotation state of the rotating body 37 is switched from the normal rotation pattern to the first special rotation pattern (FIG. 9A), the audio effect means 75 performs the first special sound effect corresponding to the first special rotation pattern. A pattern is selected from the sound effect pattern storage means 74, and the speaker 73 is driven to play music b at high speed according to the first special sound effect pattern. When the duration of the first special rotation pattern elapses and the rotation state of the rotating body 37 is switched to the normal rotation pattern (FIG. 9B), the normal sound effect pattern is changed from the first special sound effect pattern accordingly. Return to.
[0083]
Further, when the rotation state of the rotating body 37 is switched from the normal rotation pattern to the first special rotation pattern (FIG. 9A), the lamp effect means 77 displays a special lamp effect pattern corresponding to the first special rotation pattern. The lamp effect pattern storage means 76 is selected, and according to the first special lamp effect pattern, the lamp 20 flashes red at high speed. Then, when the duration of the first special rotation pattern elapses and the rotation state of the rotating body 37 is switched to the normal rotation pattern (FIG. 9B), the normal lamp effect pattern is changed from the first special lamp effect pattern accordingly. Return to.
[0084]
In the subsequent symbol variation, when the stop state is stopped in the disengagement mode “6, 7, 6” via the reach state, the rotation control unit 67 controls the rotation driving unit 38 from the normal rotation pattern to the second special rotation pattern. Thus, the rotation state of the rotating body 37 changes from medium speed / forward rotation to high speed / forward rotation (FIG. 9C).
[0085]
Along with this, the display effect means 72 continuously displays, for example, the word “high speed / forward rotation” indicating the rotation state by the second specific rotation pattern on the rotation state display means 13b, and the second specific rotation pattern. The word “twice” indicating the duration of the rotation pattern is displayed on the duration display means 13c, and every time the variable winning means 14 is opened and the duration elapses, “2 times” → “1 time” is counted down. indicate.
[0086]
Also, the sound effect means 75 and the lamp effect means 77 are respectively a normal sound effect pattern, a second special sound effect pattern (music a / high-speed playback) corresponding to a second special rotation pattern, and a second lamp effect. Switch to the pattern (blue / fast flashing).
[0087]
The symbol display means 13a fluctuates before the duration of the second special rotation pattern elapses, that is, before the number of opening of the variable winning means 14 reaches two times. For example, the jackpot mode “7. When the rotation control means 67 stops, the rotation control means 67 switches the control of the rotation drive means 38 from the second special rotation pattern at that time to the fourth special rotation pattern corresponding to the odd-numbered symbol big hit, thereby the rotating body 37. The rotation state changes from high speed / forward rotation to low speed / forward rotation (FIG. 9D).
[0088]
Along with this, the display effect means 72 continuously displays, for example, the word “low speed / normal rotation” indicating the rotation state by the fourth specific rotation pattern on the rotation state display means 13b, and the fourth specification. The word “5 times” indicating the duration of the rotation pattern is displayed on the duration display means 13 c, and every time the variable winning means 14 is opened and the duration elapses, “5 times” → “4 times” →. → Countdown is displayed as “once”.
[0089]
Further, the sound effect means 75 and the lamp effect means 77 are respectively a second special sound effect pattern and a fourth special sound effect pattern (music a /) corresponding to the fourth special rotation pattern from the second special lamp effect pattern. Switch to the 4th lamp production pattern (blue / slow blinking).
[0090]
Thereafter, when the variable winning means 14 is opened five times and the duration of the fourth special rotation pattern has elapsed, the sound output from the rotating body 37 and the speaker 73 and the flashing light emission state of the lamp 20 are the normal rotation pattern and the normal sound effect, respectively. The display contents of the rotation state display means 13b and the duration display means 13c are erased (FIG. 9E).
[0091]
As described above, the rotation control means 67 changes the rotation speed of the rotating body 37 in accordance with the changed game symbol, so that, for example, the difficulty level when the player aims at the specific ball receiving portion 39a of the rotating body 37 is increased. In addition to being able to be changed, the display effect means 72, the sound effect means 75, and the lamp effect means 77 are changed by the display effect means 72, the sound effect means 75, and the lamp effect means 77, respectively. The change in the rotation speed can be easily understood by the player and the game atmosphere can be raised.
[0092]
Further, since the rotation control means 67 changes the rotation direction of the rotating body 37 in accordance with the changed game symbol, for example, a game ball that should enter the normal ball receiving portion 39b disadvantageous to the player is Because the rotation direction has changed, it is possible to make the game unexpected, such as entering the specific ball receiving portion 39a advantageous to the player, or vice versa, and in relation to the rotation direction of the rotating body 37 By changing the display, sound, and lamp by the display effect means 72, the sound effect means 75, and the lamp effect means 77, respectively, the player can easily understand the change in the direction of rotation through visual and auditory senses to increase the game atmosphere. be able to.
[0093]
When the stop symbol of the symbol display means 13a is in a big hit state, the swing drive means 52 swings the swing body 51 to the right under the control of the sorting control means 68. Thereby, the game ball stopped in the ball receiving portion 53 of the swinging body 51 is guided to the special discharge port 47 side and detected by the special discharge detection switch 49a.
[0094]
When the special discharge detection switch 49a detects a game ball, the profit state generating means 69 is activated thereafter to generate a profit state. During this profit state, the operation winning means 16 becomes effective. When a game ball wins the operation winning means 16, the open / close plate 54 of the large winning means 17 opens to the front side and falls from above. Many of the balls are ready to win
The big winning means 17 has a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls in the big winning means 17 until a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds) elapses from the opening of the opening / closing plate 54 or until a predetermined time (for example, 6 seconds) has elapsed. When the player wins, the opening / closing plate 54 is closed. This profit state is continued until a predetermined number (for example, 16) of game balls wins the operation winning means 16, that is, until the opening / closing plate 54 of the big winning means 17 is operated 16 times.
[0095]
For this reason, if a profit state occurs, there is a possibility that a large number of game balls may win the big winning means 17, and the player can receive the payout of the winning balls according to the number of winning balls, which is a great profit. Can be enjoyed.
