2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional gaming machine, a preliminary game machine capable of executing a preliminary game relating to occurrence of a special game state advantageous to a player, and a preliminary game based on a winning of a game ball (detection of a game ball). A game machine such as a pachinko game machine having a start port capable of generating a start signal of the game machine is known.

[0003] The above-mentioned preliminary game device has a special winning opening therein and is provided with a pair of movable members. When the start signal is generated, the movable members are opened and closed once or twice to execute a preliminary game. A variable prize device used for a gaming machine called a "wing" which generates a special game state when a game ball flowing into the device at the time of opening and closing the member wins a special prize port, or a plurality of identification information Variably displayed, and based on the generation of a start signal, the variable display unit variably displays identification information to execute a preliminary game, and the variable display stop result mode becomes a special display mode. There are so-called "seven machines" that generate a special gaming state in some cases, and variable display devices used for gaming machines called "rights".

[0004]

In such a gaming machine, the winning rate of the game ball to the starting port is conventionally determined only by the nail adjustment (there are some factors such as the inclination of the game board, but most of them are adjusted by the nail). Therefore, once the nail adjustment is performed, the winning rate at the starting port is fixed until the adjustment is performed again, and the winning rate at the starting port of the same gaming machine is hardly changed. I was Also, the winning rate at the starting port greatly affects the frequency of occurrence of the special game state. Therefore, if the winning rate is to be adjusted only by the nail adjustment, very precise nail adjustment is required. However, since this nail adjustment is performed artificially, relying on the intuition of the person who adjusts it, it tends to vary, especially in a large game store with hundreds of gaming machines installed, It is difficult to perform high-accuracy nail adjustment for the above-mentioned gaming machine, and it is difficult to achieve the target profit. Furthermore, since some players are able to recognize this nail adjustment,
In some cases, the gaming machine was unequal, so that only some players could benefit.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and changes the frequency of execution of a preliminary game in a preliminary game device installed in a gaming machine, in other words, a winning rate of a game ball to a starting port. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that is highly entertaining and allows the winning rate to be adjusted and changed more easily and accurately without relying only on nail adjustment.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a gaming machine according to the first aspect of the present invention provides a preliminary gaming device (1) capable of executing a preliminary game relating to occurrence of a special gaming state advantageous to a player. For example, a variable winning device 10 and the like, and start winning means (eg, an ON signal) for generating a start signal (ON signal) of the preliminary game based on detection of a game ball winning a start port (for example,
(For example, an auxiliary variable winning device 50).
In the pachinko gaming machine 1), the starting winning means includes:
A first state in which the winning state of the game ball to the starting port is disadvantageous for the player (for example, a state in which the movable members 51, 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 are closed) and a second state advantageous for the player.
State (for example, the movable member 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50,
And a movable member (51, 51) that can be converted based on an electrical action when the predetermined opening condition is satisfied (for example, a winning in the specific winning opening 7 or a winning storage thereof). ) Based on multiple identifiers (e.g.,
A variable display means (for example, a variable display game device 52) capable of executing a variable display game by “0”, “1”, “2”,... When the stop result mode is the specific display mode (for example, “3”,
Conversion control means (for example, CPU) for converting the movable member to the second state in connection with the change to “7” or the like.
610, an auxiliary variable winning device control means 1601) and a variable display control means (for example, a variable display control means capable of generating and controlling the specific display mode in the stop result mode of the variable display game based on any of a plurality of types of probability values) A CPU 610, a second operation control unit 1600II) and probability selection control means (for example, CPU 610, power ON / OFF) capable of selectively controlling a desired probability value from the plurality of types of probability values based on an external operation.
OFF detecting means 1621, random number set value determining means 162
3, random number selection means 1624, random number tables 1 to 6, etc.)
And the probability selection control means satisfies a predetermined condition when the game machine is powered on (for example, power on / off).
If the random number setting switch 690 is turned ON when the OFF detection means 1621 detects the ON signal, the process proceeds to step S
2 and S11 are both "YES"), the selection control based on the external operation is enabled. According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the predetermined probability value selected by the probability selection control unit can be stored and held even when the power of the gaming machine is cut off (for example, Backup control means 1622).

[0007]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a variable display game is generated by the variable display means based on a predetermined starting condition, and the variable display control means determines a result mode of the variable display game among a plurality of types of probability values. The stop control is performed based on any of the probability values so that the specific display mode is achieved. Then, in the case of the specific display mode, the conversion control means converts the movable member of the starting winning means into the second state which is advantageous for the player. As a result, the winning rate of the starting winning means to the starting opening fluctuates, the winning rate is increased, and a preliminary game state is easily generated. Also,
The probability selection control means selects and controls a desired probability value from a plurality of types of probability values based on the external operation. However, when a predetermined condition is satisfied at the time of turning on the game machine, the selection based on the external operation is performed. Control is enabled. According to the invention of claim 2, the predetermined probability value selected by the probability selection control means is stored and held by the storage and holding means even when the power of the gaming machine is turned off.

The special game control means 1606 controls the stop device control means 160 so as to keep all the 30s open during the final cycle operation.
8, and a command signal is sent to the door driving means 1607.

Next, the variable display game by the second operation control unit 1600II and the operation control of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 performed based on the game result will be described.

When a game ball fired in the game area 4 by the firing device wins a prize port (specific prize port) 7 on the left side of a general prize port called “8 holes” of the game board 3, the specific prize switch SW5 is used. The ON signal is output, and the storage number counting unit 1625 that has received the signal updates the value of the storage number (up to four). The signal indicating the updated storage number is sent to the winning storage number display LEDs 53a to 53d so that the number of LEDs corresponding to the number is turned on. In addition, the signal indicating the updated storage number is also sent to the symbol display control means 1626.

When the symbol display control means 1626 determines that the stored number is not “0” based on the signal,
A command signal is output to the variable display game device 52 in order to start a variable display game (variable symbols are displayed during the game), and after the game is over, the command signal is extracted by the random number selection means 1624 described above. A command signal representing the numerical value is output to the variable display game device 52 in order to display the numerical value.

The signal representing the extracted numerical value is further sent to a judging means 1627, and the judging means 1627 judges whether or not the result of the variable display game is a hit (the numerical value). Is "3" or "7"), and a signal representing the result of this determination is sent to the auxiliary variable winning device control means 1601 and the stored number counting means 1625. The storage number counting means 16
The reference numeral 25 indicates that the variable display game is determined to have ended once for each input of a signal (regardless of a hit or a loss) indicating the determination result, and the value stored at that time is decremented by 1 to a new value. Let it be a stored value.

On the other hand, the auxiliary variable winning device control means 16
When the signal from the determination means 1627 indicates a hit, the solenoid D is excited (ON) to drive the movable members 51, 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device in the opening direction (the winning opening 6 is opened). And outputs an H level drive signal.
The drive signal is inverted from the H level to the L level after a predetermined time has elapsed, and the winning opening 6 of the auxiliary variable winning device is closed again. When the result of the variable display game started by the symbol display control means 1626 is "win", the winning opening 6 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is opened. When the game ball wins the winning opening 6 in this state, an ON signal is output from the second starting winning switch SW2 installed in the winning opening 6, and the above-mentioned start winning control means 1602 receiving the signal turns on the start winning winning control means 1602. Movable blade control means 16
09 and the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device 10
Is rotated twice.

By the way, the random number table used when the random number selection means 1624 extracts random numbers is a plurality of random number tables (six in this embodiment) having different hit occurrence probabilities.
, The table number (random number setting value) is used to select this random number table.
The table number (the random number setting value) is changed by the following operation.

That is, when the power is turned on while the random number setting switch 690 is kept pressed, signals representing these operating states are output from the power ON / OFF detecting means 1621 and the random number setting switch 690 to the random number setting value determining means 1623. Is done. Then, the random number setting value determination means 1623
The table number of the random number table stored at that time is blinked on the table number display 691. When a staff member or the like performs a pressing operation of the switch 690 from this state, the random number setting value determination unit 1623 sets the displayed table number to “ 1 ”(in this case, the display changes in the order of“ 1 ”→“ 2 ”→“ 3 ”‥‥ →“ 6 ”→“ 1 ”), and the new random number setting value (table number) I do. Thereafter, when the staff or the like turns off the power again, the random number set value selected at that time (at this time, the display 69
The value indicated by 1) is regarded as a desired random number setting value. While the power is off, this value is stored and held by the operation of the backup control means 1622 which is backed up by a battery serving as a backup power supply.
When detected by the signal from the F detection means 1621, the random number set value determination means 1623
The random number setting value (table number) stored and retained by the action of () is finally selected as the random number setting value (table number)
Treated as As described above, the random number selection unit 1624 selects a random number table from the random number tables 1 to 6 connected to the unit according to the table number, and extracts a random number from this table. . The random number setting value (table number) determined in this way is used during normal operation of the gaming machine.
Is displayed on the table number display 691 when is pressed, so that a staff member or the like can check at any time.

Next, the CPU 610 of the accessory control device described above.
The operation control of the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention performed by the present invention will be described in detail with reference to flowcharts shown in FIGS.

FIG. 26 shows the variable winning device 10, the auxiliary variable winning device 50, and the decorative lamp / LE of the pachinko gaming machine 1.
9 shows a main routine for controlling various operating devices such as D according to a game state.

This main routine is started in synchronization with the generation of a hard reset signal every time a predetermined time elapses. When the processing of one loop is completed, the processing by the CPU 610 is stopped until the predetermined time elapses. (H
ALT).

When the reset signal is generated and this routine is started, first, in step S2, it is determined whether or not the current loop is a loop immediately after power-on. When the result of this determination is “Yes”, steps S7 to
The initialization processing of step S14 is performed. On the other hand, if the determination result is "No", it is determined in steps S4 and S6 whether the main check data 1 and 2 are normal. The determination in steps S4 and S6 is made so that the program is executed while the data is destroyed due to noise or the like and the program does not run away.
The main check data 1 and 2 used for the determination are set at the end of the main routine (at steps S56 and S58 described later).

Therefore, when the result of any of the determinations in steps S4 and S6 is "No", the values stored in the RAM 614 at this time are cleared in steps S7 to S14 (step S7), and the switch area in the RAM 614 is cleared. Are initialized (step S8), and various parameters are initialized (step S9), for example, by setting a "process No." described later to "0" in advance to execute a normal process (step S9). In order to start the power-on operation, a process such as setting the value of "HCLT1" described later to an initial value "1" (step S10) is performed, and then whether or not the random number setting switch 690 is pressed (ON) Is determined (step S11). When the determination result is "Yes", a random number setting flag described later is set to "1" in step S12. On the other hand, when the determination result in step S11 is "No", that is, when the power is turned on. If the random number setting switch 690 is not depressed, it is determined that the staff or the like does not intend to update the random number setting value, and the random number setting value stored in the RAM at this time (the RAM is backed up by a battery. Is determined and the stored value is retained even when the power is turned off), and the determined random number setting value is determined (step S13). Then, the random number setting flag is reset to “0” (step S14), and this routine ends. I do.

The result of the determination in step S2 is "N
o "and both the determination results in steps S4 and S6 are" Yes ", it is determined in step S16 whether or not the random number setting flag is" 1 ". Is a flag for determining whether or not a rewriting process of a random number setting value (table number) necessary for previously selecting a random number table to be used from the six tables is being executed. When it is pressed, it is set to "1" (step S12), and when the switch operation is completed (the table number is determined at this time), it is reset to "0" in a later-described random number setting process. While the determination result in S16 is “Yes”, the process proceeds to the above-described step S14, where the random number setting process is performed, and when the determination result is “No”, the step is performed. S18 so that the subsequent processes are performed.

First, in step S18, the aforementioned step S
4, the main check data 1 and 2 in the RAM 614 used for the determination of S6 are all cleared, and the various switches (SW1 to SW5,
The ON / OFF state of MSW1, MSW2, etc.) is read, and then fraud detection processing (INJUSTICE) is performed (step S22). This fraud detection processing is performed by the ten-count switch SW4 installed in the variable winning device 10.

And the like to output a drive signal.

In the next step S28, a two-system prize ball discharging process (SR600) is performed. The two-system prize ball discharging process is performed according to a flow shown in FIG. 29 described later, and the execution / reduction of the process controls the excitation / demagnetization of the fifth solenoid (solenoid E) 815 in the prize ball processing device 850. As a result, the number of prize balls performed for one winning ball is determined to be either 7 or 15.

In the following steps S30 and S32, the permission control process (VSW) of the special winning switch SW3 provided in the special winning opening (V zone) 103 in the variable winning device.
CTL), detection processing of switch SW3 (SW3GET)
Is performed.

The permission control process is performed in accordance with the flow of FIG. 30 described later, and it is determined whether or not the gaming state at that time is a state in which the input of the special winning switch SW3 is to be permitted. The value of the SW3 permission flag is determined based on this determination.

If it is determined by the permission control processing that the gaming machine is in a state in which the input of the special winning switch SW3 is to be permitted, the switch SW3 detected by the subsequently executed SW3 detection processing (step S32).
Is determined to be valid, and when the operation control process (the process after step S40) of the variable winning device 10 according to the "process No."
The operation of the variable winning device is controlled based on the output signal of the switch SW3.

At the next step S34, a lamp / LED control process (LEDCTL) is performed. This lamp / LED control process is described in “Process N
o. Various flags whose values are determined by the control according to
Ramp, LE installed on game board 3 based on control variables
This is a process of actually controlling lighting / flashing of D at a desired timing.

At the next step S36, a motor control process (MOTCTL) is executed. This motor control process is a process of performing opening / closing control of the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 installed inside the variable winning device 10 according to a game state, and is performed according to a flow shown in FIG. When this motor control process is completed, in the next step S38, the auxiliary prize winning device control process (S
OLD-PRC) is performed according to the flow shown in FIG.

In the auxiliary winning device control process, the variable display game machine 52 performs a variable display game based on an output signal from a specific winning switch SW5 installed in the winning opening 7 on the left side of the "8 hole". When the result of the game is "hit", control is performed such as opening the movable members 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 for a predetermined time (for example, 0.8 seconds).

In the following steps S40 to S54, the first to third solenoids (solenoids A, B, C) 173, 173, and 14 corresponding to the "process No."

Processing No. Is "7", the switches SW3, SW
Processing No. 4A, 4B (step S60). Various operation controls are performed according to.

The processing No. Is “0”,
All the determination results in the above steps S40 to S52 are "No", and in step S54, a normal process (FIG. 48) according to a normal game state is performed. This normal processing is processing for lighting / flashing various LEDs / lamps installed on the game board 3 according to a normal game state, and is a condition for executing the above-mentioned processing (1) to (7). Until the condition is satisfied, the ordinary processing is repeatedly executed.

When the processing in step S54 is completed, the above-described main check data 1 and main check data 2 are set in steps S56 and S58, respectively, for checking the storage state of the RAM 614. The program is terminated and the CPU 610 is stopped until the next hard reset signal is generated (HAL
T). By executing the main routine described above, the variable winning device 10, the auxiliary variable winning device 50, the various LEDs and lamps installed on the game board 3, and the operation of the speaker 930 for generating a sound effect installed on the gaming machine. Control is performed.

Next, the random number setting process executed in step S15 of the main routine will be described with reference to FIG.

In this random number setting process, a random number setting value used when selecting a random number table used in the variable display game from a predetermined table group (consisting of a plurality of random number tables 1 to 6 having different hit occurrence probabilities). Is selected and stored in advance. This process is performed when the random number setting switch 690 is pressed at the time when power is applied to the gaming machine 1 (step S1 of the main routine).
1 when the determination result is “Yes”), and thereafter, this random number setting process is repeatedly executed as long as the random number setting flag is set to “1”. The random number setting value (table number) selected and stored in the random number setting process is stored after the power of the gaming machine is once turned off (the stored value is also backed up by the battery even when the power is turned off). (Stored and held in the stored RAM) and on condition that the random number setting switch 690 is not pressed at that time (the determination result in the step S2 of the main routine is “Yes” and the step S11 Is determined as the final random number setting value (table number), and the variable display game is executed according to the determined value.

When the result of the determination in step S11 of the main routine is “Yes” and this random number setting process is started, first, in step S72, the random number setting value (table number) stored up to this point is read. Is blinked on the table number display 691, and it is determined whether or not the setting switch 690 is still pressed (step S74). While the determination result is “Yes”, it is determined that the updating process of the random number setting value by the staff of the game store or the like is still being performed, and the process proceeds to step S76, where the table number is updated (the table number is changed to the predetermined time). The process of increasing the address to “1” is performed each time the process has elapsed, and then this routine ends. After that, until the power is turned off again, the value of the once set random number setting flag is held at “1”, so that step S16 of the main routine is “Y”.
es ", and the random number setting process is repeated. Then, when the numerical value displayed on the table number display 691 becomes a desired value, and the game store staff or the like ends the operation of the random number setting switch 690, Then, the determination result in step S74 changes to "No", and thereafter, the random number setting value (table number) is not updated, and the value at this point is stored and held in the RAM as the finally selected value. .

In this random number setting process, the value selected and stored is determined by the attendant when the power is once turned off and then turned on again (provided that the random number setting switch is not pressed at this time). The final random number setting value is determined (step S13 of the main routine).

Next, with reference to FIG. 28, the fraud detection processing (INJ) executed in step S22 of the main routine will be described.
USTCE) will be described.

This fraud detection processing is for detecting fraud in a pachinko game, such as a foreign object such as a piano wire being inserted into a ten count switch SW4A, SW4B installed in the variable winning device 10, or a connector being disconnected. This is the process. When the fraud detection process is started, first, in step S102, it is determined whether or not the fraudulent state of the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B has already been detected by the current loop (whether or not fraudulent). When the determination result of step S102 is "Yes", the subsequent step S104
Without executing the processing of step S136, that is,
This routine is terminated without performing further fraud detection, and the sound effect output process (SOU
ND) (in the sound effect output processing executed at this time, a sound effect indicating the occurrence of illegality is output). On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S102 is "No", then, in steps S104 to S110, it is determined whether or not the switches SW4A and SW4B are in a short-circuit illegal state (a state in which the short-circuit state continues for a predetermined time or more). Is determined.

First, in step S104, it is determined whether or not the output signals from the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B are at the H level. If the determination result is “No”, in step S106, the short check timer INJTIM3 is set to a predetermined time (for example, 2
sec), and the process proceeds to step S112 and subsequent steps.
Therefore, when the switches SW4A and SW4B are not short-circuited, the timer IN is executed every time this routine is executed.
The value of JTIM3 is set to the predetermined time (2 sec).
When one of the switches SW4A and SW4B is short-circuited and the result of the determination in step S104 turns to "Yes", the value of the timer INJTIM3 is decreased (step S4).
108) In the next step S110, it is determined whether or not the timer INJTIM3 whose value has been reduced has become "0". While the determination result is “No”, the process proceeds to step S112 and the subsequent steps to detect another illegal state.

The short-circuit state of the switches SW4A and SW4B continues for the above-mentioned predetermined time (2 sec), and step S110
Turns to "Yes", the switch SW4
A, SW4B is determined to be in the short illegal state, and the process proceeds to step S136, where the process No. Is set to "7" and an unauthorized operation initial process such as storing that the short-circuit unauthorized state has occurred is executed, and the routine ends.

As described above, the processing No. Is set to "7", and furthermore, when the short-circuit illegal state is stored, the determination in step S52 of the main routine described above becomes "Yes" and the operation proceeds to the illegal operation processing (step S60). Unauthorized processing (such as generation of an unauthorized sound corresponding to the unauthorized use) is executed.

If the result of the determination in step S104 is "N
o ”or steps S112 to S118 executed when the determination result of step S110 is“ No ”.
Then, the SW4 count fraud detection is performed. First, in step S112, it is determined whether or not the output signal of the ten count switch SW4A or the switch SW4B has risen from the previous loop to the current loop. When the result of this determination is “No”, the subsequent steps S114 to S118 are skipped, and the process proceeds to step S120 and thereafter. On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S112 is "Ye
s ", that is, when the winning of a game ball is detected by the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B during the period from the previous loop to the current loop, it is determined in the next step S114 whether or not the process No. is" 0 ". When the result of this determination is “Yes”, that is, when the game state is in a state where normal processing is to be performed (normal game state), the ten-count switches SW4A and SW4B are used to enter the variable prize device 10 for the game ball. When a winning is detected, the present routine is terminated as it is, and the process shifts to a sound effect output process of the main routine (step S24 in FIG. 26), while if the determination result in step S114 is "No", the variable winning is performed. The value of SW4FG is set to “1” in order to store that the game ball has won in the device 10 (step S
116) Then, a sound effect (ten-count sound effect) indicating the winning of the game ball into the variable winning device is output (step S118), and the process proceeds to step S120 and thereafter.

Next steps S120 to S126
Then, the open illegal detection of the ten count switch SW4A is detected, and in steps S128 to S134, the open illegal detection of the ten count switch SW4B is performed.

First, at step S120, the switch SW
It is determined whether the output signal from 4A is at the H level. If the result of this determination is “No”, then step S1
At 22, the open check timer INJTIM1 is set to a predetermined time (for example, 2 sec), and step S128
Proceed to the transition process. Therefore, when the output signal from the switch SW4A is not at the H level (ON), the value of the timer INJTIM1 is set to the predetermined time each time this routine is executed.

When the output signal of the switch SW4A goes high (ON) and the result of the determination in step S120 turns to "Yes", the timer I is turned off as long as the ON state continues.
Processing for reducing the value of NJTIM1 is performed (step S
124), in the next step S126, the timer INJT
It is determined whether the value of IM1 has become "0". As long as the result of this determination is “No”, the process proceeds to step S128 and thereafter to detect whether the switch SW4B is open or illegal. After the above-mentioned predetermined time (2 sec) has elapsed since the output signal of the switch SW4A has become H level, step S1 is executed.
When the determination result at step 26 turns to "Yes", the switch SW
4A is determined to be in the unauthorized open state, the process proceeds to step S136, and the fact that the unauthorized open of the switch SW4A has occurred in the unauthorized operation initial process is stored in the RAM 614 or the process No. 4A. Is set to "7" or the like, and the routine is terminated as it is. Thus, processing N
o. Is set to "7", and the unauthorized opening of the switch SW4A is stored, the determination in step S52 of the main routine described above becomes "Yes" and the illegal processing proceeds, and the response to the occurrence of the unauthorized opening of the switch SW4A is made. Unauthorized processing (such as generation of an unauthorized sound in response to the illegality) is executed.

Switch SW4B after step S128
In the open illegal detection process, first, it is determined whether or not the output signal of the ten count switch SW4B is at the H level (ON) (step S128). If the decision result in the step S128 is "No", the step S128 is started.
At 130, open check timer INJTIM2
Is set to a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), the routine ends, and the flow proceeds to the main routine audio output processing. Therefore, if the output signal from the switch SW4B is not at the H level (ON), the value of the timer INJTIM2 is set to the predetermined time (2 sec) each time this routine is executed.

When the output signal of the switch SW4B is turned on (H level), the result of the determination in step S128 is "Y".
es ", the timer INJ continues to operate as long as the ON state continues.
A process for reducing the value of TIM2 is performed (step S13).
2) In the next step S134, the timer INJTIM2
Is determined to be "0". As long as the result of this determination is “No”, step S136 is skipped and this routine ends. When the state in which the output signal of the switch SW4B is turned on (H level) continues for the above-described predetermined time and the determination result in step S136 turns to “Yes”, it is determined that the switch SW4B is in the open illegal state, and the illegal operation in step S136 is performed. The operation proceeds to the operation initial process, and the process No. To “7” and switch SW
The fact that the open illegal operation has occurred in 4B is stored in the RAM, and this routine ends. Thus, the processing No. Is set to "7" and the open illegal state of the switch SW4B is stored, the determination in step S52 of the main routine becomes "Yes" and the illegal processing is performed. Illegal processing (such as generation of a sound effect corresponding to the illegality) is performed.

Next, step S2 of the aforementioned main routine
The two-system prize ball discharging process (SR600) executed in Step 8 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

As shown in the figure, when this routine is started, in step S140, from the previous loop to the present loop, a new game ball winning to the variable winning device is detected by the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B. It is determined whether or not (SW4A, SW4B have risen). If the determination result is “Yes”, the value of the large discharge number storage value is added by “1” in step S142, and the process proceeds to step S144. If “No”, step S142 is skipped and That is, the large discharge number storage value stored at this time is held as it is, and the process proceeds to step S144.

Here, the large discharge number storage value is a large discharge number (1
Winner (103, 104, 10)
If the added value of the winning game balls in 4) is a value other than "0", and the stored value is a value other than "0", it is used for switching the number of discharged prize balls installed in the prize ball discharging device 810 as described later. Of the fifth solenoid (solenoid E) 815 is excited (O
N), whereby 15 prize balls are discharged for one winning ball from the prize ball discharge device (conversely, when the large discharge number storage value is “0”, the solenoid is not operated). E is demagnetized (OFF), and seven prize balls are discharged for one winning ball).

Returning to FIG. 29, in the next step S144, it is determined whether or not the current loop is the first loop executed since the power was turned on to the gaming machine. If the determination result is "Yes", in step S146, a switching state detection switch MSW3 (not shown) provided in the winning ball discharging device is turned on (the switch MSW3 outputs an ON signal at the time of small discharging). Is determined. While the result of this determination is “No”, the flow proceeds to step S148 to excite (ON) the solenoid E, ends this routine as it is, and executes the SW3 permission control process (VSCCTL) of the main routine.
Move to As described above, after the power is turned on, the solenoid E is excited (ON) to prepare for a small discharge. This is because a prize (small discharge) is a condition, and therefore, the discharge of the first prize ball is always a small discharge. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S146 is "Yes", the process proceeds to step S150 and subsequent steps.

In step S150, it is determined whether or not the prize ball discharge processing has already been started during the execution of the current loop, and whether or not the started discharge processing is continuously performed (whether the prize ball is being discharged). If the determination result is “Yes”, that is, if the predetermined number (7 or 15) of the discharge processing corresponding to one winning ball has not been completed yet, a large discharge start flag described later is determined in step S152. The FLGA is reset to “0”, the routine ends as it is, and the SW3 permission control processing (USWC) of the main routine is performed.
TL). At this time, ON / OF of solenoid E
In the F state, the state at that time is held in order to continue the predetermined number (7 or 15) of prize ball discharge processing that has already been started.

On the other hand, if the prize ball discharge processing has not been performed during the execution of this routine ("No" in step S150), the discharge start flag FL is set in step S154.
It is determined whether the value of GA is “1”. The value of the large discharge start flag FLGA is set to "1" in step S162 described later when the solenoid E is demagnetized to perform a large discharge process (15 discharges) of the prize balls and the stage of preparation for large discharge is started. Then, after the discharge of the prize ball is actually started (during discharge), the value is reset to "0" in step S152 described above. Therefore, when the result of the determination in step S154 is "Yes", it is determined that a large discharge has not yet started even though the solenoid has been demagnetized (OFF) in preparation for a large discharge.

This routine is terminated without performing the processing after 56.

On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S154 is "No", it is determined that it is not the preparation stage for large discharge, and the ON / OFF control of the solenoid E based on the value of the large discharge storage number ( The process for determining whether to excite the solenoid E in preparation for large discharge is started. First, in step S156, it is determined whether or not the large discharge number storage value at this point is "0". If the result of this determination is "Yes", that is, if it is determined that the next prize ball discharge process should be large discharge, step S15 is performed to perform large discharge (15 discharges).
At step 8, the solenoid E is demagnetized (OFF).
In step S160, the value of the large discharge storage number is subtracted by "1", the discharge start flag FLGA is set to "1" (step S162), the present routine is ended, and the process proceeds to the SW3 permission process of the main routine. I do. On the other hand, if the determination result in the step S156 is "No", the solenoid E is excited (ON) so that the number of the prize balls discharged by the prize ball discharging process is 7 (small discharge) (step S156).
164) After that, this routine is ended, and the process proceeds to the SW3 permission process of the main routine.

Next, the special winning opening (V) of the variable winning device 10
The permission control process (VSWCTL) and the detection process (SW3GET) of the special winning switch SW3 installed in the (zone) 103 will be described with reference to FIGS.

The permission control process of the special winning switch SW3 (FIG. 30) is executed in step S30 of the main routine described above, and detects a gaming state in which a game ball can win a special winning opening (V zone) 103. This is a kind of fraud prevention processing for treating the output signal of the switch SW3 as valid only in the gaming state.

When this process is started, it is first determined in step S170 whether or not the SW3 detection flag VFG is "1". This SW3 detection flag VFG is set so that the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device are opened a predetermined number of times when the later-described SW1 processing (SW1PRC, FIG. 49) or the big hit processing (HITPRC, FIG. 52) is completed. ), Set to “1”,
Thereafter, the value “1” is held for a predetermined time (for example, 4 seconds). If the SW3 detection flag VFG has not been set to “1” yet (the determination result of step S170 is “No”), the process proceeds to step S17.
2 to skip step S180, return to the main routine, and shift to SW3 detection processing (SW3GET).

When the SW1 processing or the jackpot processing described later is performed and the SW3 detection flag VFG is set to "1",
The result of the determination in step S170 is "Yes", the flow advances to step S172, and the SW3 valid time timer VWT
The value of IM (the timer is set to a predetermined time (for example, 4 seconds) in SW1 processing described later) is reduced, and it is then determined whether or not the value of the timer VWTIM has become "0" (step S1). S174). The result of this determination is “No”
During the following steps S176 to S18
0 is skipped, this routine ends, and the process returns to the main routine to perform SW3 detection processing. After the opening / closing control of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 by the SW1 processing or the big hit processing to be described later is completed (the timer VWTIM is set at this time), the predetermined time (2 sec) elapses, and the determination result of the step S174 becomes “ If the answer is "Yes", the SW3 detection flag VFG is reset to "0" in the following step S176, and in the next step S178, the solenoid A open counter SOLCNT, which will be described later, indicates the number of times of opening and closing operations of the movable wing pieces by the solenoids A and A. It is determined whether the value is "0".

If this determination result is "No", that is, this processing is performed after the movable wing pieces 101, 101 are actually opened and closed at least once by executing the SW1 processing or the big hit processing described later. In this case, the routine is terminated as it is, and step S32 of the main routine is executed.
(At this time, the value of the SW3 detection permission flag VSWFG is held at "1" as described later.) On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S178 is "Yes", that is, if this processing is executed even though the movable wing pieces 101, 101 have never been opened and closed, it is determined that some kind of fraud has occurred. Then, the process proceeds to step S180, in which the SW3 detection permission flag VSWFG is set to “0”, and then the present routine ends.

Here, the SW3 detection permission flag VSWFG is used in the SW3 detection processing performed subsequently to the routine. When the value of the flag VSWFG is "0", the special prize switch SW3 is set.
Is invalidated.

FIG. 31 shows a step S32 in the main routine.
6 is a flowchart of SW3 detection processing (SW3GET) executed in step S3.

When the SW3 detection process is started, first, in step S182, it is determined whether or not the gaming machine is fraudulent at this time (i.e., is fraudulent). This determination is made based on the detection result of the above-described fraud detection processing (INJUSTICE) and the like, and the determination result is “Ye
In the case of s ", the process directly proceeds to step S4 and subsequent steps of the main routine.

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step S182 is "No", it is decided in a step S184 whether or not the output signal of the special winning switch SW3 has turned to the H level (ON). When this determination result is "No", that is, when the game ball does not win in the special winning opening 103, the motor control process (M) of the main routine is directly performed without performing the process after step S186.
OTCTL). On the other hand, if the determination result is “Ye
s ", that is, when it is detected that the game ball has won the special winning opening 103, at this time, the aforementioned SW
It is determined whether the value of the 3 detection permission flag VSWFG is "1" (step S186). When the determination result is “No”, that is, when the flag VSWFG indicates that the input of the output signal of the switch SW3 should not be permitted, the process directly proceeds to the motor control process of the main routine.

After the opening and closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device, when a game ball wins in the special winning opening 103 (regular winning), the aforementioned step S18 is performed.
The determination result of No. 6 is “Yes”, and the above special winning opening 1
It is determined whether or not the winning of the game ball 03 is a winning in the last (16) cycle in the big hit gaming state (step S187). If the determination result is "No", the process proceeds to step S188, and a jackpot initial process is executed to store the winning of the game ball to the special winning opening 103 (the process number is set to "4" in this step). As a result, when the game is not in the big hit game state at this time, the control is started from a big hit weight processing described later in a subsequent loop. The continuous opening / closing operation in the step is terminated, and the process shifts to the next cycle.) On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S187 is "Y
If es ", that is, if the big hitting game state is the last (16) cycle, the continuous open / close operation is not further continued, so the process proceeds to step S190 without executing the initial process of step S188.

In the next step S190, prior to the generation of the ON signal from the special winning switch SW3, it is determined whether or not the ON signal has been generated from the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B. When the result of this determination is "Yes", it is determined that the ON signal from the switch SW3 has been generated properly (not illegal), the routine is terminated as it is, and the routine skips to step S56 of the main routine. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S190 is "No", that is, when the output signal of the special winning switch SW3 is turned ON while the game ball has not passed through the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B,
It is determined that there has been some kind of fraud (SW4, 3 consecutive fraudulent states), the process proceeds to step S192, and the processing No. SW4,3, and so on, by setting
Perform consecutive illegal initials and end this routine.
The process skips to step S56 of the main routine. When the fraudulent manner (SW4, 3 consecutive fraud) is stored in this way, the subsequent processing is performed in step S52 of the main routine.
Becomes "Yes", and an unauthorized process (such as generation of a sound effect according to the content of the unauthorized operation) according to the type of the unauthorized operation is performed.

Next, an opening / closing motor 172 for opening / closing the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 installed in the variable winning device 10.
Operation control (motor control processing) of FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIGS.

The motor control processing (MOTCT)

-30), a jackpot weight operation block (MO) performed for a predetermined time immediately after the game ball wins the special winning opening.
T-40 to MOT-80), jackpot operation block (MO
T-90 to MOT-100) and a big hit end operation block (MOT-110 to MOT-140). Hereinafter, description will be given according to the flowchart.

FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing the motor control processing routine. When this routine starts, first, the value of the ball bite check timer is reduced in step S202, and the value of the motor control timer (MCTIM) is reduced in the next step S204.

Here, the ball bite check timer (ball bite timer) refers to the doll clothes opening / closing door 1 regardless of whether the opening / closing motor is operated in the opening direction (CCW ON) or the closing direction (SW ON).
30 is provided to detect a state in which the opening / closing operation is not performed (ball jaw). When the timer expires, it is determined that a ball jaw has occurred, and the actual doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened.
Irrespective of the open / closed state of, the subsequent processing is forcibly executed. The motor control timer (MCTIM) is used to execute the operation control of the opening / closing motor 172 and the solenoids B and C in accordance with a change in the value of the control variable MCTL1 in the processing after step S208 described later (“MOT− 10 "to" MOT-14
0 "), a timer for providing an interval between these successively performed operation controls. This motor control timer is set to a desired value according to the control contents in each subroutine (FIGS. 33 to 46) according to the value of the control variable MCTL1, and whether or not the timer has timed out is determined. It is determined in step S206.

Returning to the flow of FIG. 32, step S206
If it is determined that the motor control timer (MCTIM) has not yet timed out (the determination result is "No"), the process returns to the main routine without executing the subsequent processes, and the auxiliary prize device control process ( SOLD-
PRC). On the other hand, when the determination result of step S206 is “Yes”, the value of the control variable MCTL1 is sequentially set to “1” in steps S208 to S234.
(Step S208), whether the value of the variable MCTL1 is “2” (step S210),
Whether the value of CTL1 is “3” (step S21)
2), whether the value of the variable MCTL1 is "4" (step S214), whether the value of the variable MCTL1 is "5" (step S216), and whether the value of the variable MCTL1 is "6" No (step S218), the variable MCT
Whether the value of L1 is “7” (step S220),
Whether the value of the variable MCTL1 is “8” (step S

(Step S226), whether the value of the variable MCTL1 is “11” (step S228), and whether or not the value of the variable MCTL1 is “12” (step S2)
30), whether or not the value of the variable MCTL1 is “13” (step S232); if the value of the variable MCTL1 is “14”
Is determined (step S234).

In accordance with the results of these determinations, FIGS.
The subroutine shown in the flow of No. 6 is respectively executed. Hereinafter, the plurality of subroutines will be described according to the actual operation of the doll clothes opening / closing door 30.

As described above, when power is applied to the gaming machine 1, the power-on operation is started. While this power-on operation is being performed, the above-described control variable MCTL1
Is set to any value of "1" to "3", and "MOT-10" to "MOT-30" corresponding to this control variable are executed.

Here, the "power-on operation" means that the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened immediately after the power is turned on, and in this state, the stopping device exit door 112 is opened / closed instantaneously. This refers to a series of operations of closing the door 130.

Immediately after the power is turned on, the value of the control variable MCTL1 is first set to "1" by executing the motor control initial process (step S10) of the main routine (FIG. 26). The result is “Yes”, and the “MOT-10” process (FIG. 33) is started.

In the "MOT-10" process, first, in step S1002, an operation of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 counterclockwise to open the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 (C).
CW ON) is started. In the next step S1004, it is determined whether an ON signal has been output from the motor switch MSW2 provided in the door driving mechanism. While the result of this determination is “No”, it is determined that the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 has not yet been sufficiently opened, and step S100
Steps 6 to S1014 are skipped, this routine is terminated as it is, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine. On the other hand, if the determination result in step S1004 is "Yes", the process proceeds to step S1006 to excite the solenoid C to open the stop device exit door 12 provided in the variable winning device (O).
N), the value of the motor control timer MCTIM is set to 3 seconds (step S1008), and then the ball bit timer is set to a predetermined time (step S101).
0), the control variable MCTL1 is set to 2 (step S1012), and thereafter, the drive of the opening / closing motor 172 is stopped (step S1014), this routine ends, and the process proceeds to the auxiliary prize device control process.

As described above, the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 is fully opened and the determination result of step S1004 changes to "Yes". Once the processing of step S1006 and thereafter is performed, the control variable MCTL1 is set to "2". Therefore, in the motor control process (FIG. 32) after the next time, the determination in step S210 changes to “Yes” and “MOT-2
The routine of "0" will be started. Since the motor control timer is set to 3 seconds in step S1008 as described above, an interval of 3 seconds from the end of the “MOT-10” process to the start of the “MOT-20” process. Is provided.

The above-mentioned “MOT-10” processing (the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened by this processing, and immediately after that, the exit door 11
After a predetermined time (3 seconds) elapses after the completion of step S2), steps S206 and S210 are performed.
Are both "Yes" and "MOT-2
“0” processing (FIG. 34) is executed.

In the "MOT-20" process, first, in step S1020, the solenoid C is demagnetized (OFF) to close the stop device exit door opened by the execution of step S1006, and then the motor control timer is started. The MCTIM is set to a predetermined time (500 msec) (step S1022), and the ball bit timer is set to a predetermined time (1 sec) (step S1024).
The control variable MCTL1 is set to "3" (step S1).
026) This routine is ended, and the routine goes to the auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine.
In the motor control process, when the next or subsequent loop is performed, the determination result of step S206 is “N” until the motor control timer times out.
The result is o ", and the auxiliary prize winning device control processing of the main routine is executed (at this time, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened and the exit door 112 is closed).

When the predetermined time has elapsed, the flow advances to step S2.
The determination result of step 06 changes to "Yes", and step S212 is performed.
Is "Yes" (at this point, the control variable MCTL1 is set to "3"), and "MOT-
Step 3 "(FIG. 35) is executed. This "MOT-
In the "3" process, first, in step S1030, an operation of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 clockwise to close the doll clothes opening door 130 is started (CW ON). In the next step S1032, it is determined whether or not ball biting has occurred. This determination is made based on whether or not the timer of the ball bit set at the predetermined time (1 second) in step S1024 of the “MOT-20” has expired.
If the determination result is “No”, the next step S1
At 034, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the motor switch MSW1 has become H level (ON).

[0211] If the decision result in the step S1034 is "N"
As long as it is "o", step S1036, step S1
This routine is ended by skipping 038, and the process directly proceeds to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine. On the other hand, when the result of this determination has changed to “Yes”, that is, when it is determined that the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 has been closed, a series of “power-on operation processing” (MCTL1 is “1”, “1”) is performed in step S1036. 2) and 3), the control variable MCTL1 is reset to “0”, and the opening / closing motor 172 is stopped to stop the operation of the doll clothes door 130 in the closing direction. After that (step S1038), this routine ends, and the routine goes to an auxiliary prize device control process.

Before the result of the determination in step S1034 turns to “Yes”, if the ball bit timer set in step S1024 of “MOT-20” has timed out (the determination result in step S1032 is “Yes”), it is determined that a ball bite has occurred in the doll clothes opening / closing door 130, and the process is forcibly performed in step S1036 and step S1.
038 is executed. By performing the “power-on operation process”, the power-on operation of the variable winning device 10 after the power of the gaming machine 1 is turned on is executed.

When the power-on operation process is completed, control variable MCTL1 is held at "0" (at this time, step S
All the determination results from 208 to S234 are “No”
), And the processing shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine without substantially performing the motor control processing.

[0214] Thereafter, the game ball is given a special winning opening (V zone).
When a prize is won, a jackpot weight process described later (FIG. 5)
In 1), the control variation MCTL1 is set to "4", and the operation control (big hit weight operation) of the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 according to the big hit weight state is started. Here, the jackpot weight operation is defined as an operation unit (a doll clothes opening / closing door 130, a stop device entrance door 111, a stop device exit door 11) installed in the variable winning device 10 in accordance with a jackpot weight process described later.
This is a process performed to activate 2), thereby informing the player in advance that the pachinko game is to be converted into the big hit state. Specifically, the process is performed as follows.

When this big hit wait operation is started,
First, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened, and immediately thereafter, the stopping device exit door 112 is opened ("MOT-40"). Next, the stop device exit door 112 is closed, and if the stop device entrance door 111 is open at this time, it is also closed ("MOT-70"). From this state, the stop device exit door 112 is opened again ("MOT-80"),
The doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is once closed while the stop device exit door 112 is open ("MOT-50"). Thereafter, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened and the parking device exit door 112 is closed ("MOT-60") to prepare for the occurrence of a big hit.

During such a jackpot wait operation process,
The control variable MCTL1 is set to one of the values “4” to “8”, and the “MOT-40” corresponding to the control variable is set.
To "MOT-80" are executed.

As described above, the special winning opening (V zone) 1
When the value of the control variable MCTL1 is set to "4" in a jackpot weight process (FIG. 52) described below, which is started by winning a prize, the motor control process (FIG. 32)
Is "Yes" in step S214,
The “MOT-40” process (FIG. 36) is started.

In the "MOT-40" process, first, in step S1040, an operation (CCW ON) of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 counterclockwise to open the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is started. Next step S1042
Then, it is determined whether or not a ball bite has occurred in the same procedure as in step S1004 described above. While the result of this determination is "No", it is next determined whether or not the output signal from the motor switch MSW2 is at H level (ON). If the result of this determination is “No”, the doll clothes door 1
Since it is determined that the opening 30 has not been sufficiently opened, the steps S1046 to S1054 are skipped, the present routine is terminated as it is, and the process proceeds to the auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine.

When the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is fully opened and the result of the determination in step S1044 turns to “Yes”,
Proceeding to step S1046, the solenoid C is excited (ON) to open the stop device exit door 112, and then the control variable MCTL1 is set to "7" (step S104).
8), the value of the motor control timer is set to a predetermined time (1 sec) (step S1050),
The aforementioned ball biting timer is set to a predetermined time (step S1).
052) Then, the drive of the opening / closing motor 172 is stopped (step S1054), this routine is ended, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine.

As described above, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is fully opened and the result of the determination in step S1044 is "Yes".
, And once in steps S1046 to S1054
Is performed, the control variable MCTL1 is set to "7", so that the next time the motor control process (FIG. 32) is executed, the determination in step S220 changes to "Yes" and "MOT-70" Is started. Since the motor control timer MCTIM is set to one second in step S1050 as described above, it takes one second from the completion of the “MOT-40” process to the start of the “MOT-70” process. An interval is provided.

Before the result of the determination in step S1044 turns to "Yes", the value is set in the ball biting timer setting process (for example, step S1024 of the above-described "MOT-20" process) performed before that. When the ball biting timer has timed out (the determination result in step S1042 is “Yes”), it is determined that a ball biting has occurred in the doll clothes opening / closing door 130, and the steps S1046 to S10 are forcibly performed.
1054 is executed.

After the end of the above-mentioned "MOT-40" processing, if the above-mentioned predetermined time (1 sec) has elapsed, the determination result of step S220 of the motor control processing (FIG. 32) becomes "Yes" and the "MOT-40" 70 "processing (FIG. 3
7) is executed. In the "MOT-70" process, first, in step S1060, both the solenoids B and C are demagnetized (OFF) so as to close both the stop device entrance door and the stop device exit door, and in step S1062, the control variable MCTL1 is controlled. Is set to "8", the control timer MCTIM is set to a predetermined time (50 msec) (step S1064), and the ball bit timer is set to a predetermined time (step S1066).
2 is held in a stopped state (step S1068), this routine ends, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine.

When the predetermined time set in step S1064 elapses and step S206 of the motor control process (FIG. 32) turns to "Yes", step S222 of step S208 to step S230 executed thereafter is executed. If the determination result is “Yes” (MCTL1 =
“8”), and the “MOT-80” process (FIG. 38) is executed.

In the "MOT-80" process, first, in step S1070, the solenoid C is excited to re-open the stopping device exit door 112 which was closed by the execution of step S1060 of the "MOT-70". (ON), and in step S1072, the control variable MCTL
1 is set to “5” and then the control timer MCT
IM is set to a predetermined time (1.9 sec) (step S
1074), the ball biting timer is set to a predetermined time (step S1076), and thereafter, the open / close motor 172 is held in a stopped state (step S1078), this routine ends, and the process proceeds to the main routine for controlling the auxiliary winning device. .

When the predetermined time set in step S1074 elapses and step S206 of the motor control process (FIG. 32) changes to "Yes", the next step of steps S208 to S230 executed thereafter is The determination result of S216 is “Yes”, and the “MOT-50” process (FIG. 39) is executed.

In the "MOT-50" process, first, in step S1080, an operation (CW ON) of rotating the opening / closing motor clockwise to close the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is started. In the next step S1082, it is determined whether or not a ball bite has occurred in the same procedure as in step S1032 of the "MOT-30" process described above. While the determination result is “No”, it is determined in the next step S1084 whether the output signal from the motor switch MSW1 is at the H level (ON). This step S1
When the judgment result of No. 084 is “No”, the doll clothes opening / closing door 1
It is determined that 30 has not been completely closed yet, and the subsequent steps S1086 to S1092 are skipped, this routine is terminated, and the process proceeds to the auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine.

When the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is fully opened and the result of the determination in step S1084 turns to "Yes", the control variable MCTL1 is set to "6" (step S1).
086) together with the motor control timer MCTIM
Is set to a predetermined time (100 msec) (step S1088), and the ball biting timer is set to the predetermined time.
(Step S1090) After that, the operation of the opening / closing motor 172 is stopped (Step S1092), and this routine ends.

Before the result of the determination in step S1084 turns to "Yes", if the ball biting timer set in "MOT-80" has timed out (the determination result in step S1082 is "Yes"). ), It is determined that a ball bite has occurred in the doll clothes opening / closing door 130, and steps S1086 to S1092 are forcibly executed.

As described above, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is completely closed, and the result of the determination in step S1084 is "Yes".
And temporarily goes from step S1086 to step S1092
Is performed, the control variable MCTL1 is set to "6". Therefore, in the subsequent motor control processing (FIG. 32), the determination in step S218 is "Yes".
The routine of "MOT-60" is started. As described above, the motor control timer M
Since CTIM is set to 100 msec in step S1088, an interval of 0.1 second is provided between the end of the “MOT-50” process and the start of the “MOT-60” process.

In the “MOT-60” processing (FIG. 40) performed subsequent to the above “MOT-50”, first,
In step S1100, an operation of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 in the counterclockwise direction to open the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 again is started (CCW ON). Next step S
In 1102, it is determined whether or not a ball bite has occurred. If the determination result is "No", the next step S11 is performed.
At 04, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the motor switch MSW2 has become H level (ON). While the result of the determination in step S1104 is “No”, it is determined that the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 has not been completely opened yet, and the subsequent steps S1106 to S1110 are skipped, and the present routine is terminated as it is. Then, the process proceeds to the auxiliary winning control operation processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine.

When the doll clothes door 130 is fully opened and the result of the determination in step S1104 turns to "Yes",
This time, the solenoid C is demagnetized (OFF) to close the stop device exit door 12 that has been opened (step S1106), and a series of "big hit weight operation processing (MCTL1 is" 4 "to" 8 "). The control variable MCTL1 is reset to "0" in order to end ") (step S1108), and the operation of the open / close motor 172 is stopped (step S1110).
This routine ends, and the flow shifts to auxiliary winning device control processing.

Before the result of the determination in step S1104 turns to "Yes", if the ball bit timer set in "MOT-50" has timed out (the result of the determination in step S1102 is "Yes"). ), It is determined that a ball bite has occurred in the doll clothes opening / closing door 130, and steps S1106 to S1110 are forcibly executed. By performing the above "big hit weight operation process", the game ball is changed to the special winning port (V
When a big hit occurs after winning in the (zone) 103, the operation control of the variable winning device 10 corresponding to the big hit weight processing performed prior to the big hit gaming state is performed.

When the big hit wait operation processing is completed, the control variable MCTL1 is held at "0" (at this time, the determination results in steps S208 to S230 are all "N".
o "), and the process shifts to the auxiliary winning device control process (FIG. 47) of the main routine without substantially performing the motor control process.

When the game ball wins in the special winning opening (V zone) 103, a “big hit” occurs, and after a lapse of a predetermined time (5 seconds) thereafter (the big hit weight processing described later is completed, and the control fluctuation MCTL1). Is set to “9”),
"MOT-90" processing (FIG. 41) and "MOT-10"
The operation control (big hit operation process) of the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 and the stop device entrance door 111 and the exit door 112 according to the big hit game state by the “0” process (FIG. 42) is started. Here, the big hit operation refers to an operation of opening and closing the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 in accordance with the continuous opening / closing operation (maximum 18 times) of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 in the big hit gaming state.

In the "MOT-90" process, first, in step S1120, an operation of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 clockwise to close the doll clothes opening / closing door is started (CW ON). In the next step S1122, it is determined whether or not a ball bite has occurred. The result of this determination is “No”
In step S1124, it is determined whether the output signal from the motor switch MSW1 is at the H level (ON). If the result of this determination is “No”, it is determined that the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 has not yet been completely closed, and the subsequent steps S1126 to S113
Step 2 is skipped, this routine is terminated as it is, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine.

When the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 is fully closed,
When the determination result of step S1124 turns to "Yes", the control variable MCTL1 is set to "10" (step S1126), and the motor control timer M
The value of CTIM is set to a predetermined time (500 msec) (step S1128), and the ball bit timer is set to a predetermined time (step S1130).

Therefore, in the motor control process (FIG. 32) after the next time, the determination in step S226 is “Yes”.
The routine of the "MOT-100" process is started. Since the motor control timer is set to 500 msec in step S1128 as described above, it takes 0.5 seconds from the end of the “MOT-90” process to the start of the “MOT-100” process. An interval is provided.

After the above-mentioned “MOT-90” processing is completed, in the “MOT-100” processing (FIG. 42) executed after the elapse of the predetermined time (500 msec), first, at step S1140, the doll clothes are opened and closed. The operation of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 in the counterclockwise direction to open the door 130 is started (CCW ON). Next step S
At 1142, it is determined whether or not a ball bite has occurred. If the determination result is "No", the next step S11 is performed.
At 44, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the motor switch MSW2 has become H level (ON).

When the determination result of step S1144 is "N"
During the time of “o”, it is determined that the doll clothes door 130 has not yet been completely opened, and the subsequent steps S1146 to S1154 or step S1146 or step S1146 are performed.
Steps 1156 to S1160 are skipped, this routine is terminated as it is, and the processing shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine.

When the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is completely opened by the operation of the opening / closing motor 172, and the determination result in the step S1144 changes to "Yes", the next step S11 is performed.
At 46, it is determined whether or not the continuous opening / closing operation in the “big hit gaming state” performed at this time is for the final cycle (16th cycle). This step S
If the result of the determination at 1146 is "No", then step S1 is executed.
After 148, the motor control control process is performed in accordance with the operation of each cycle (1 to 15 cycles) up to the final (16) cycle in the "big hit game state", and if the determination result is "Yes", the step S115
Motor control control processing is performed in accordance with the operation of the final cycle after the sixth cycle.

In the control processing in each cycle up to the final (16) cycle in the big hit game state, first, in the next and subsequent motor control processing, “MOT-9” is executed.
In step S1148, the control variable MCTL1 is set to "9" in order to perform the "0" process alternately with the "MOT-100" process.
The value of the motor control timer MCTIM is set to a predetermined time (500 msec) (step S1150), and the ball bit timer is set to a predetermined time (step S1152). Thereafter, the operation of the opening / closing motor 172 is stopped. Then (step S1154), this routine ends.

As described above, once the "MOT-90" process is executed, the control variable MCTL1 is set to "10". 9 ”, the“ MOT-90 ”processing and“ MOT-10 ”are performed in each cycle until the last (16) cycle of the“ big hit gaming state ”.

Is executed.

By the way, the "big hit processing" which will be described later in detail
(FIG. 52), after the big hitting game state is started, after the movable wings are opened and closed 18 times, or after 10 game balls are won in the variable winning device, a predetermined time (within the predetermined time). The continuation condition of the big hit game state is that the game ball wins in the special winning opening (V zone) 103 before the continuation condition may be satisfied. Therefore, when performing the opening / closing control of the doll's clothes opening / closing door and the entrance / exit door of the stopping device, when the above continuation condition is satisfied, a big hit weight process described later (FIG. 51) is performed to start the big hit weight operation in the next cycle. ), The control variable MCTL1 is set to “4”. Then, when the big hit processing (FIG. 52) is started, the MCTL1 is set to “8” and the big hit operation is started. Such processing is performed at a maximum of 1 as long as the above-mentioned jackpot game continuation condition continues.
Up to six cycles are performed.

If the above continuation condition is not satisfied during the “big hit process”, the step S of the “big hit process” is executed.
At 1428, the control variable MCTL1 is set to "11", and in the subsequent motor control processing, the big hit end operation processing ("MOT-110" to "MOT-14
0 ").

Here, the big hit end operation process is a motor control process which is performed in parallel with a weight process described later, and is a predetermined time (4 seconds) from the end of the continuous opening / closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device. ) Elapses (while input of switch SW3 is permitted),
This is a process of controlling the opening and closing of the doll clothes opening / closing door 130, the stop device entrance door 111, and the stop device exit door 112.

The continuation condition of the big hit gaming state has not been satisfied yet, and the control variable MCTL1 is set to “1” in “big hit processing” described later.
When "1" is set, step S228 of the motor control process becomes "Yes", and the "MOT-110" process (FIG. 43) of the big hit end operation process is started.

In the "MOT-110" process, in step S1160, an operation of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 counterclockwise to open the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is performed (CCW ON). In the next step S1162, it is determined whether or not a ball bite has occurred. If the determination result is "No", in the next step S1164, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the motor switch MSW2 has become H level (ON). Is determined. As long as the determination result of step S1164 is “No”, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130
Is not yet fully opened, and the following step S
Steps 1166 to S1180 are skipped, this routine is terminated as it is, and the processing shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine.

The operation of the opening / closing motor 172 causes the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 to be completely opened.
Turns to "Yes", the next step S1
At 166, the solenoid C is excited (ON) to open the parking device exit door 112, and then the control process of the solenoid C is started (step S1168), and at step S1170, the big hit gaming state at this time is finalized. (16) It is determined whether or not the cycle is a cycle. While the determination result is “No”, in step S1172, a sound effect (bomb sound) indicating that one cycle of the operation in the big hit game state is completed is generated.
The processing after step S1174, that is, the control variable MCT

ec) (step S1176), the ball bit timer is set to a predetermined time (step S1178), and then the operation of the opening / closing motor 172 is stopped (step S1).
180), this routine is ended, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine.

When the predetermined time set in step S1176 elapses, steps S208 to S208 of the motor control process (FIG. 32) executed thereafter.
230, the determination result of step S232 is “Y
es "and the" MOT-130 "process is executed.

In the “MOT-130” process, first,
In step S1200, the solenoid B is demagnetized (OFF) so as to close the stop device entrance door 111 which has been opened by the execution of step S1156 of the "MOT-100" again, and in step S1201, the control variable MC
TL1 is set to "14", then the control timer MCTIM is set to a predetermined time (100 msec) (step S1202), and the ball bit timer is set to a predetermined time (step S1203). Thereafter, the open / close motor 172 is kept stopped. Then (step S1204), this routine ends, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine.

When the predetermined time (100 msec) set in step S1202 elapses and step S206 of the motor control process (FIG. 32) turns to "Yes", steps S208 to S executed thereafter are executed.
234, the determination result of step S234 is “Y
es "and the" MOT-140 "process (FIG. 46) is executed.

In this “MOT-140” processing, first,
A process of reversing the energized state of the solenoid B (in this case, it is excited again) is performed (step S1205),
Next, it is determined whether or not a wait process described later, which is executed when the continuation condition has not yet been satisfied in the big hit game state, has already ended at this time (step S1).
206). While the determination result is “No”, the process proceeds to step S1207 to set the value of the control variable MCTL1 to “1”.
4 ", and the process advances to step S1208 to set the control timer MCTIM to a predetermined time (100 msec).
After that, the ball bit timer is set to a predetermined value (step S1209), the opening / closing motor 172 is held in a stopped state (step S1210), and the process proceeds to an auxiliary winning device control process (SOLD-PRC) described later. .

As described above, "MOT-140" is started once, and the big hit end operation processing ("MOT-11
0 ”to“ MOT-140 ”), when the wait process (FIG. 53) described below is not yet completed,
The result of the determination in step S1206 is always "No", and the control variable MCTL1 is held at "14". As a result, when the motor control process (FIG. 32) is executed in the next transition loop, the control timer MCT set in step S1208 is set.
The “MOT-140” process is repeatedly executed every time the IM times out. Thus, "MO
T-140 "is repeatedly executed, the step S
By the reversing process of the solenoid B in 1205, the control of the stopping device entrance door 111 in the opening direction and the control in the closing direction are alternately repeated every elapse of the predetermined time (100 sec).

In the big hit game state, the wait process is started without satisfying the predetermined continuation condition, and thereafter, when it is determined that the wait process has been completed (the determination result in step S1206 is "Yes"), step S12 is performed.
At 11, it is determined whether or not the hit weight process of FIG. 51 that is performed prior to the big hit process has been started.
It is determined whether or not the continuation condition of the big hit game is satisfied by the time when the above-mentioned wait processing is completed. The result of this determination is “N
o ”, the jackpot end operation processing (“ MOT-110 ”to“ MOT-
140 ”), the control variable MCTL1 is set to“ 12 ”in order to execute the“ MOT-120 ”process performed at the end of the“ MOT-120 ”(step S1212).
120 ”, the value of the motor control timer MCTIM is set to a predetermined value (2.1 sec) so as to provide a predetermined interval before the processing is started (step S121).
3) After that, the above-mentioned steps S1209 and S1210 are executed, and the processing shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing.

On the other hand, when the result of the determination in step S1211 is “Yes”, that is, when the predetermined continuation condition in the big hit game state is satisfied before the completion of the wait processing described later (FIG. 51), In step S1214, the control variable MCTL1 is set to "5", and then the value of the motor control timer MCTIM is set to a predetermined value (1.
6 sec) (step S1215), execute the above-described steps S1209 and S1210, and then shift to an auxiliary prize device control process (SOLD-PRC). When the continuation condition of the big hitting game state is satisfied at the end of the wait processing as described above, step S216 of the motor control processing (FIG. 32) performed after the time of the motor control timer MCTIM is up again turns to "Yes". Jackpot wait operation processing ("MOT
−40 ”to“ MOT-80 ”).

As described above, when the condition for continuing the big hit game state is not satisfied at the end of the wait processing (when the determination result of step S1211 is “No”), the control variable MCTL1 is set to “12”. After the predetermined time set in step S1213 elapses, the determination result in step S230 of the motor control process (FIG. 32) becomes "Yes" and the "MOT-120" process is performed. Be executed.

In the "MOT-120" process, first, in step S1190, an operation of rotating the opening / closing motor 172 clockwise to close the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is started (CW ON). In the next step S1192, it is determined whether or not a ball bite has occurred. While the determination result is “No”, in the next step S1194, it is determined whether or not the output signal from the motor switch MSW1 is at the H level (ON), that is, whether the doll clothes door 130 has been closed. It is determined whether or not it is. The result of this determination is “No”
In this case, it is determined that the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is not yet completely closed, and this routine is terminated as it is, and the process proceeds to the auxiliary winning device control processing (SOLD-PRC) of the main routine. Thereafter, when the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is sufficiently opened and the determination result is “Yes”, the process proceeds to step S1196, where the control variable MCTL1 is reset to “0”, and in step S1198, the opening / closing motor 172 is opened. Is stopped, this routine ends, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine. still,
If it is determined that a ball bite has occurred before the determination result of step S1194 turns to "Yes", the present routine is terminated as it is, and the processing shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine.

In the series of operations relating to the “big hit” described above, the cycle number is a predetermined cycle number (1 in this embodiment).
6 cycles). Then, in the final cycle, the control variable M
Since CTL1 is set to "10", the process starts from "MOT-100" (FIG. 42) in the big hit operation block in the final cycle of the motor control process, and furthermore, the "MOT-100" process Is executed, the control variable MCTL1 is not set to "9" (step S11 of "MOT-100").
The result of the determination at 46 is "Yes", step S1148
Does not run). For this reason, in the motor control process in the last cycle, the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is kept open and the opening / closing control of the entrance / exit door of the stopping device (steps S1156 to S1160 in FIG. 42).
Only will be performed.

That is, with the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 opened, the solenoids B and C are both excited (ON) and opened (step S1156), and the control variable MCTL1 is set to "0".
(Step S1158), and the open / close motor 17 is reset.
2 is stopped (step S1160), this routine ends, and the routine shifts to the auxiliary winning device control processing of the main routine. At the end of the continuous opening / closing operation in the last (16) cycle of the big hit gaming state, the determination result of step S1170 of “MOT-110” in the big hit end operation processing becomes “Yes”, and the continuous opening / closing operation ends. The processing is ended without generating the combined sound effect (bomb sound) (step S1172).

Next, the auxiliary prize winning device control processing executed in step S38 of the main routine will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

In this auxiliary prize device control processing, the game ball is set to the general prize port (specific prize port) 7 on the left side of the “8 hole” of the game board 3.
This is a process for causing the variable condition display game to be played in response to the winning, and for operating the auxiliary variable winning device 50 according to the result.

When this routine is started, first, in step S1222, it is determined whether or not an ON signal (H level signal) has been output from the specific winning switch SW5 provided in the specific winning opening 7. When the result of this determination is “No”, the following step S1224, step S122
Step 6 is skipped, and the processing from step S1228 is executed. On the other hand, when the result of the determination in step S1222 is "Yes", that is, when it is detected that a game ball has entered the specific winning opening 7, it is determined in subsequent step S1224 whether the specific winning storage number is "4". Is determined.

Here, the specific winning memory number is the number (unprocessed number) of game balls (winning balls) in which the variable display game corresponding to the winning has not been executed even though the specific winning opening 7 has been won. Is a variable for storing up to four variables, and the value is decremented by one each time the variable display game is executed. By providing the specific winning storage number in this way, even if a game ball wins in the specific winning opening 7 during execution of the variable display game, the winning is stored and the game is being executed at that time. After the variable display game is completed, the next variable display game is continuously performed.

Returning to FIG. 47, while the determination result in step S1224 is "No", the flow advances to step S1226 to update the value of the specific winning storage number (addition of "1").
And at the same time, according to the newly stored number,
A predetermined random number table (this table is a plurality of random number tables 1 to 6 based on a random number setting value (table number) previously selected by operating the above-described random number setting switch 690)
, And then proceeds to step S1228. On the other hand, step S1224
When the determination result is “Yes”, the storage number is not updated (step S1226 is skipped),
The process proceeds to step S1228 and subsequent steps. Step S1228
In the subsequent processing, the variable display game and the operation of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 are controlled based on the “specific winning storage number”. Hereinafter, the present flow will be described in accordance with a change in the game state.

Now, if the “specified winning storage number” is “0”
And the case where the auxiliary variable winning device 50 stops its operation. When this flow starts in this state,
The decision result in the step S1222 is "No", the process advances to a step S1228, where the solenoid D on-timer SO
It is determined whether or not LDTIM is being counted. In the timer SOLTIM, the variable display game device 52 stops the variable display game (the 7-segment numerical display displays one of “0” to “9”) in a predetermined mode (“3” or “7”). )), And is provided to excite (ON) the solenoid D for a predetermined time from the occurrence of the "hit", and the count value of the counter is set to the later-described step S1280 simultaneously with the occurrence of the hit. To a predetermined time (0.8 sec).

If the "specified winning storage number" is "0" and the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is stopped, the determination result in step S1228 is "No", and the flow advances to step S1230 to demagnetize the solenoid D. (OF
F), and resets the solenoid D operation flag to "0" in step S1232, and determines in step S1234.

In step S1234, it is determined whether or not the gaming machine is in normal operation. Here, the usual processing is
Processing No. Executed when is "0" (FIG. 48)
This is a process in which the variable winning device 10 installed on the game board 3 does not perform any operation. This step S1
When the determination result of 234 is “Yes”, the lighting of various lamps and LEDs installed on the game board 3 and the generation of sound effects from the speakers are stopped (OFF) (step S12).
36), and execute the processing from step S1238. On the other hand, if a process other than the normal process is being performed at this time (the determination result of step S1234 is “No”),
Step S1236 is skipped, and step S1
238 and later (at this time, various lamps, LE
D and the speaker are controlled in accordance with the operation of the variable winning device 50 as described later.)

At step S1238, it is determined whether or not solenoid D is being excited (ON). In the current loop performed when the operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 has not been started, the determination result is “No”, and further, in step S1240, whether or not a loss display process described later is continued. (Whether the loss display timer described later has timed out) is determined, and the variable display game device 52 is further determined.
Whether or not the symbol is changing (step S1242),
Whether or not the specific winning number storage is “0” (step S1)
244) are sequentially determined.

In the current loop in which the variable display game has not been performed, these steps S1240 and S1240 are executed.
Both the determination results of 1242 are “No”, and step S12
The result of the determination at step 44 is “Yes”, and the
The process skips steps 1248 to S1274 and proceeds to step S1246, updates the previously extracted random numbers for symbol determination that determine the result of the variable display game, ends this routine, and sets SW2 in the main routine ( SW2SET).

In the state where this routine is executed according to the above-mentioned flow, when a game ball wins a winning opening (specific winning opening) 7 provided in the “8 hole” of the game board 3 (switch SW).
5 is ON), and the result of the determination in step S1222 is “Y
es "and returns to step S1224 and step S122.
6 is performed. When it is detected that the game ball has won the specific winning opening 7 (the specific winning number storage is "1").
In the immediately following loop, after the steps S1228 to S1242 are executed in the same manner as the above-described procedure, the determination result of the step S1244 changes to "Yes", and the processing from the step S1248 is executed. Then, the variable display game is started. First, in step S1248, the specific winning storage number is decremented by "1" and the rotation timer is set to a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds).
Is determined, and it is then determined whether or not the normal processing is being executed in the main routine at this time (step S1250). If the result of this determination is "Yes", it is determined that no sound effect according to the gaming state has been generated, and a sound effect notifying the start of the variable display game is output (step S1252). move on.

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step S1250 is "No", it is determined that a sound effect can be created according to another game state, and the step S1252 is determined.
Without executing step S1254. In the next step S1254, it is determined again whether or not ordinary processing is being performed in the main routine at this point (step S1254). When the result of this determination is "Yes", it is determined that no lamp / LED processing according to the game state has been performed, and the lamp / LED lighting / flashing processing is performed to notify that the variable display game is being executed. (Step S1256), Step S125
The process proceeds to step 8 and subsequent steps.

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step S1254 is "No", the ramps corresponding to the other game states are determined.
It is determined that the LED process is being performed, and the process proceeds to step S1258 without executing step S1256. In the next step S1258, the variable display game device 5
Then, it is determined whether or not the rotation timer has timed out (step S1260). After the variable display game is started by the winning of the game ball into the specific winning opening 7, the determination result is "No" until the above-mentioned predetermined time elapses, and then the stop switch set on the gaming machine by the player. SW6
Is determined (whether an ON signal is output from the SW 6) (step S1262). Both the determination results in steps S1260 and S1262 are "N
If it is "o", steps S1264-S12
Without executing step 74, step S1246 is executed, and this routine ends.

[0275] Once the variable display game is started and symbols are changed in this way, in the next and subsequent loops, steps S1222 to S1240 are sequentially executed, and the determination result in step S1242 changes to "Yes". (At this time, step S1244, step S12
48 to S1252 are skipped).
The processing after 1254 is executed.

When the symbol change of the variable display game is continued for a predetermined time and the rotation timer times out, or a stop switch (not shown) is set by the player.
Is pressed, the determination result of either step S1260 or step S1262 is "Yes".
As a result, the processing after step S1264 is performed.

First, in step S1264, a symbol as a result of the current variable display game is determined (determined to be one of "0" to "9" determined according to the numerical value extracted from the random number table), and then this symbol is determined. The lamp / LED processing and the sound effect output processing that have been performed up to the point in time are stopped (OFF) (step S1266), and then the determined symbols are hit symbols (for example, “3” and “7”). It is determined whether it is a hit or not (step S1268). When the determination result is “No”, that is, when the result of the variable display game is a loss, the loss display timer is set to a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 sec) to set a loss display period (step S1270), and
The losing symbol is displayed on the variable display game device 52 (step S1272), the value of the losing display timer set above is updated (step S1274), and after the step S1246 is performed, the routine ends.

In the case where the result of the variable display game is “losing”, in the subsequent loop, after the processing in steps S1222 to S1238, the determination result in step S1240 turns to “Yes”, and
After performing the steps S1274 and S1246, this routine ends. When the "losing" display for the predetermined time is completed, the step S12 is repeated.
The determination result of Step 40 becomes “No”, and Step S124
The second and subsequent processes are performed.

Next, a case is considered in which the stop symbol becomes a hit symbol ("3", "7") as a result of the above variable display game. In this case, the step S1268 is performed immediately after the stop symbol as the game result of the variable display game is determined.
Then, the determination result is “Yes”, and step S1 is performed.
276, the movable member 5 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50
A process for opening the first and the 51 for a predetermined time (0.8 sec) is performed.

First, in step S1276, the solenoid D is turned on to indicate that the solenoid D is being excited (ON).
The operation flag is set to "1", then the solenoid D is excited (ON) (step S1278), and a solenoid D on-timer SOLDTIM for controlling the excitation time of the solenoid D is set to a predetermined time (for example, 0.8 sec).
(Step S1280) and step S128
2 is determined.

In step S1282, as in step S1234 and the like, it is determined whether the main routine performed at this time is in the middle of normal processing. If the determination result is “Yes” (no sound effect corresponding to the operation of the variable winning device 10 is generated at this time), a sound effect is generated to notify the opening of the movable members 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device. (Step S128
4) The process proceeds to step S1246, and then the present routine ends. On the other hand, when the determination result of step S1282 is "No", the sound effect indicating the opening of the movable members 51, 51 is not generated (step S1).
284 is skipped), the process proceeds to step S1246, and the routine ends thereafter. In the loop after the stop symbol as a result of the variable display game becomes the "hit symbol", the determination result of the step S1238 is "Yes" until the solenoid D timer times out (for 0.8 seconds), The process advances to step S1286 to update the value of the solenoid D ON timer used for the determination (at this time, the excitation of the solenoid D is continued), and advances to the determination in step S1238.

In this state, the decision result in the step S1238 (whether the solenoid D is on or not) is "Yes", and
In step S1288, it is determined again whether the main routine is executing a normal process. The result of this determination is “Y
In the case of "es", that is, during normal processing, the variable winning device 10 is not operating as described later, and therefore, the lamps and LEDs are turned on / flashing according to the change of the device 10. Therefore, in step S1290, a lamp and LED operation control process (lighting / flashing) is performed to notify the opening of the movable members 51, 51 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50.

On the other hand, when a process other than the usual process is being performed, the lighting and blinking of the lamps and LEDs according to the game state have already been performed.
The process skips step S290 and proceeds to step S1246, after which the routine ends.

Such a series of processing is repeatedly performed while the solenoid D is energized (until the solenoid D on timer counts up, for 0.8 sec).

The movable member 5 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50
When the solenoid D on-timer finishes counting a predetermined time after the opening of the solenoid valves 1, 51, the process proceeds to step S1228.
Turns to "No", the solenoid D is excited (OFF) to close the movable member (step S1230), and then the solenoid D operation flag is reset to "0" in step S1232. After that, the processing from step S1234 is performed. In the processing after step S1234 performed in this case,
The determination in step S1238 becomes "No" again, and the processing in step S1240 and thereafter, that is, the processing for performing the next variable display game is performed.

When the operation control of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 corresponding to one winning ball that has won the specific winning opening 7 in this way is completed, the determination in step S1244 is performed again. At this time, When the specific winning storage number is a value other than “0”, the operation control of the auxiliary variable winning device corresponding to the winning ball to the specific winning opening 7 is started again.

Next, steps S40 to S40 of the main routine will be described.
In step S54, the process No. About the operation control processing of the variable winning device 10 performed according to the value of FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

The operation control processing of the variable prize winning apparatus is a normal processing, a processing N
SW1 processing executed when o. is "1" (SW1 / S
W2PRC). SW1 processing (SW1 / SW2PRC) executed when the processing No. is "2". SW permission process (SWEN) executed when process No. is "3"
A). Big hit wait processing (HITWAIT) executed when the processing No. is "4". Big hit processing (HITPRC) executed when the processing No. is "5". Wait processing (WAI) executed when processing No. is "6"
TPRC). An unauthorized process (INJPRC) executed when the process No. is "7" is roughly classified. Hereinafter, the process No. Will be described in detail.

When the power of the pachinko gaming machine is turned on, the process No. in step S9 of the main routine (FIG. 26). Is reset to "0", so that in the loop immediately after that, steps S40 to S5 of the main routine are executed.
All the determination results of No. 2 are “No”, and step S5
In step 4, the usual processing (FIG. 48) is executed.

In the usual processing (USULLY), the gaming machine is operated in the normal operating state (the variable wing pieces 101, 1 of the variable winning device).
01, the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 and the stop device entrance door 111 / exit door 112 are all stopped).

When this ordinary processing is executed, first, in step S1320, a decorative lamp corresponding to the ordinary processing is set.
Lighting / flashing of the decorative LED or the like (lamp / LED control) is performed, and in the next step S1322, the gaming machine 1
Is determined during power-on operation immediately after the power is turned on (at the same time as the power is turned on, the doll clothes opening / closing door and the stop device entrance / exit door in the variable prize device perform preliminary operations).
If the result of this determination is “Yes”, it is determined that the pachinko game has not been started by the player, and the routine is terminated without executing the following steps S1324 and S1326.

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step S1322 is "No", it is decided in a step S1324 whether or not the output signal from the starting winning switch SW1 or SW2 has risen to the H level (whether or not it has been turned on). . While this determination result is “No”, the following step S13
Step S26 is skipped, this routine ends, and the routine goes to steps S56 and S58 of the main routine. When the normal processing is repeatedly performed, the game ball fired in the game area 4 is set to the starting winning opening 8, 8 or the auxiliary variable winning device 5
0 and the discrimination result in step S1324 is "Y"
es ”, the process No. which has been set to“ 0 ”is the starting winning opening 8, 8 in step S1326.
Is set to "1" when the player wins the prize, and set to "2" when the player wins the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50.
SW such that the count value of the processing timer used for the determination of the W1 processing (FIG. 49) is set to a predetermined time (2 sec).
Initialization of the 1 / SW2 process is performed. Thereafter, this routine ends, and the main program proceeds to step S56.
The process moves to S58.

As described above, during the normal processing, the game ball wins the starting winning opening 8, 8 or the auxiliary variable winning device 50, and the processing No. Is set to "1" or "2", the next time the main routine is executed, the determination result of step S40 or S42 of the main routine (FIG. 26) becomes "Ye".
s ", and the SW1 / SW2 process is started.

The SW1 / SW2 processing is performed once or twice by moving the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device 10 each time a game ball wins one of the starting winning ports 8, 8 or the auxiliary variable winning device 50. This is a process of performing the opening and closing operations twice, and is performed according to the flow of FIG. This SW1 / SW2
When the process is started, first, two display units (first segment 1) of the cycle number display 105 installed on the game board 3 are set.
05a, the display mode by the second segment 105b) is set to a predetermined mode (the left and right sides are set to “0”) (step S1330), and then a predetermined time set in the processing timer (at this time, the above-described ordinary It is determined whether or not the predetermined time (2 seconds) set in step S1326 of the process has elapsed (step S1332). While this determination result is “No”, this routine ends without executing the processing of step S1334 and thereafter (at this time, the solenoids A, A for opening and closing the movable blade pieces are turned off).

When the predetermined time (2 sec) has elapsed and the determination result in the step S1332 has turned to "Yes", the value of a continuation counter (the counter counts the number of cycles during the big hit game) is counted in a step S1334. In addition to resetting to “0”, the process proceeds to step S1336, and SW3 for effectively processing the detection signal from the special winning switch SW3 provided in the special winning opening (V zone) 103.
The detection permission flag VSWFG is set to “1”. Furthermore,
In the next step S1338, the value of a solenoid counter SOLCNT that counts the number of times the solenoids A, A are energized (ON) / demagnetized (OFF) is incremented by "1". Then, in step S1340, the solenoids A, A are turned ON / OFF. By switching the OFF state (in this case, demagnetization (O
FF) is switched to excitation (ON) to open the movable blade piece), and the determination in step S1342 is performed.

In the step S1342, the starting winning opening 8,
8 or the opening and closing control of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 corresponding to one winning ball that has won the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 (once when the winning prize port is started, and twice when the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 is won). Opening / closing) is determined. More specifically, this determination is based on the excitation of solenoids A and A /
The value of the solenoid counter SOLCNT, which is counted up each time the degaussing state is switched, is determined by the number of the switch (SW1 is "1", SW2
Is performed depending on whether or not the number is equal to the number obtained by multiplying "2") by 2.

Therefore, when the present processing is started by the winning of the game ball to the starting winning openings 8, 8, when the value of the counter becomes "2", the determination result of step S1342 changes to "Yes". (At this time, one opening / closing operation is performed.) On the other hand, when the present process is started by winning the auxiliary variable winning device 50, when the value of the counter becomes “4”, the process proceeds to step S1342. The result of the determination changes to "Yes" (at this time, two opening / closing operations are performed).

While the result of this determination is “No”, the value of the processing timer is set to the predetermined time (40
0 msec), and in a succeeding step S1344, it is determined whether or not the value of the solenoid counter SOLCNT is "1" or "3". The result of this determination is “Y
es ", the solenoids A and A are ON at this time
Then, it is determined that the opening control of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 is being performed, and the routine is terminated while the value of the processing timer is kept at 400 msec (skipping step S1345).

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step S1344 is "No", the solenoids A, A are demagnetized,
It is determined that the control for closing the movable wing pieces 101, 101 is being performed, the value of the processing timer is converted to 800 msec (step S1345), and this program ends. As a result, the open state of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 is 400 msec.
, And the closed state is maintained for 800 msec.

In the second and subsequent loops in which this routine is started, the excitation (ON) of the solenoids A, A to open the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable prize winning device is set for the predetermined time set in step S1343. (400 msec), the determination result of step S1332 is “No” during that time, and steps S1330, S1
Only 332 is repeatedly executed. When the determination result of step S1332 changes to "Yes" after the predetermined time has elapsed, steps S1334 to S1340 are executed again. In this case, in step S1340, solenoids A and A are demagnetized (O) from the excited (ON) state.
FF) state, and the control of the direction in which the movable blade pieces 101, 101 are closed is started. As described above, in the loop in which the control in the Heisei direction is started, the step S13
The determination result at step 44 changes to “No”, and the value of the processing timer becomes 8
After moving to 00 msec, the movable wings 101
It is closed for 0 msec.

The movable wing piece 10 based on the winning of the game ball to the starting winning prize opening 8, 8 or the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 is set.
When one or two opening / closing operations of 1, 101 are completed, the determination result of step S1342 changes to “Yes”, and
Steps S1346 to S1352 are performed.

First, in step S1346, a process No. is set to start a switch permission process described later. Is set to “3”, the generation of the sound effect corresponding to the opening / closing operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 performed up to this point in step S1348 is stopped, and in the next step S1350,
After the opening and closing operation of the movable wing piece is completed, the value of the SW3 detection flag VFG used for the determination of the above-mentioned SW3 permission control process (FIG. 31) to make the ON signal from the special winning switch SW3 effective for a predetermined time. Is set to "1", and in step S1352, a SW3 valid time timer for counting the time for which the ON signal of the special winning switch SW3 is valid is set to a predetermined time (for example, 4 sec), and this routine ends. I do.

In the next and subsequent loops, step S1
At step 346, the processing No. Is set to "3", the determination result of the step S42 of the main routine is "No", the determination result of the step S44 is "Yes", and the SW permission process (FIG. 50) is executed.

This SW permission processing (SWENA) is performed after the above-mentioned SW1 processing is completed, and is executed in step S135 of the SW1 processing.
The process is performed until the predetermined time (4 seconds) set in 2 elapses.

When this routine is started, first, in step S1360, a process of displaying the number of cycles on the number-of-cycles indicator provided on the game board 3 is performed.
In step S1362, it is determined whether or not a new game ball has been awarded to the starting winning a prize port 8, 8 or the auxiliary variable prize apparatus 50 (whether or not SW1 or SW2 has been turned on). If the result of this determination is “Yes”, then step S
The normal processing (U
SULLY), and the movable wing piece 10 based on the SW1 is turned on.
The opening / closing operation of the doll clothes 101 is enabled (if the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 is opened at this time, the state is maintained).

On the other hand, if the decision result in the step S1362 is "No", the process proceeds to a step S1364 to switch SW
It is determined whether or not the 3 valid time timer is "0" (whether the time is up). If the determination result is “No”, that is, if the predetermined time (4 seconds) has not yet elapsed after the end of the above-described SW1 process (FIG. 49), step S
Proceeding to 1366, it is determined whether the time until the timer expires is one second remaining. While the determination result is “No”, the following step S1368
Is skipped, and the routine ends. on the other hand,
When the remaining time is 1 second and the determination result turns to "Yes", in step S1368, the opening / closing motor 172 is rotated clockwise to start the operation of the doll clothes opening / closing door 130 in the closing direction. (CW ON) is started, and then the present routine is terminated (at this point, the doll clothes opening / closing door 13 has already been set).
When 0 is closed, this routine is terminated as it is.

When it is determined that the SW3 valid time timer has expired and a predetermined time (4 sec) has elapsed, the result of the determination in step S1364 becomes "Yes". Is set to “0”, and thereafter, the above-described ordinary processing (USULLY) is executed.

By the way, if the game ball wins in the special winning opening (V zone) during execution of the above-mentioned SW permission process (the process No. is “3” at this time) (a big hit occurs),
By executing the SW3 detection process, the process No. Is forcibly set to "4", so that even during the SW permission process, a big hit weight process described later (FIG. 49) is forcibly performed.
It is forcibly shifted to. By the time the doll's clothing opening / closing door 130 is closed by the execution of the step S1368, a big hit occurs, and when the jackpot weight processing is started, the subsequent processing is performed while the doll's clothing opening / closing door 130 is opened. Will be performed.

As described above, the SW1 / SW2 processing or the SW
During the execution of the permission process, the game ball is set to the special winning opening (V zone) 1
03, and received the processing No. in the SW3 detection processing. Is “4”
In the subsequent loop, the determination result of step S46 of the main routine changes to "Yes" and the big hit weight process (FIG. 49) is executed.

This big hit weight processing (HITWAI)
T) indicates that the movable wing pieces 101 and 10 in the jackpot game state after the game ball has won the special winning opening (V zone) 103.
This is a process for providing an interval of a predetermined time (5 sec) before the continuous opening / closing operation 1 actually starts. A preliminary opening / closing operation (big hit weight operation) of the entrance door / exit door is performed (“MOT-40” in the motor control process described above).
-Operation control by "MOT-80").

This big hit weight processing (HITWAI)
When T) is started, first, a process of displaying the number of continuations (the number of cycles) in the big hit game state by the cycle number display 105 is performed (step S1380), and then,
It is determined whether or not the current loop is a loop immediately after the shift to the jackpot wait processing (step S138).
2). If the result of this determination is “Yes”, then step S
At 1384, the processing timer is set to a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds). At the next step S1386, the value of the control variable MCTL1 is set to "4" so that the motor control processing (FIG. 32) is started from the "MOT-40" processing. It is set (step S1386), and thereafter, the processing timer is decremented (step S1388). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the processing timer has timed out as a result of the decrement (step S1390). The result of this determination is “No”
, The sound effect (fan fare) output process corresponding to the jackpot weight process (step S1392)
And terminate the present routine.

When this routine is continuously executed in the next and subsequent loops, the result of the determination in step S1382 is "No", and steps S1384 and S138 are performed.
Step 6 is skipped and the processing is executed from step S1388.

[0313] Such processing is performed for the predetermined time (5 sec), and when the result of the determination at step S1390 turns to "Yes", at step S1394 the number of cycles to be continued in the big hit game state is represented. “1” is added to the value of the continuation counter, and the processing No. Is set to "5" (step S1396), and this routine ends.

As described above, the jackpot occurrence condition is satisfied (SW
3 on), a predetermined time (5 sec) elapses, and the processing No. Is set to "5", the main routine (FIG. 2)
The determination result of step S48 of 6) is “Yes”, and the big hit process (FIG. 52) is executed.

In the big hit processing (HITPRC), the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable prize apparatus are actually continuously opened and closed (up to 18 opening / closing operations are defined as one cycle. Ends when a prize is won)
This is the process for causing

When this routine is started, first, in step S1400, a process of displaying the current cycle number on the cycle number display 105 is performed, and then the value of the open / close processing timer is reduced (step S1400). S140
2). At this time, the processing timer determines whether the solenoids A and A are ON / OF during the continuous opening / closing operation of the movable wing pieces in the big hit game state.
It is used for F switching (alternately exciting (ON) / demagnetizing (OFF) every time a predetermined time (for example, 800 msec) elapses).

In the next step S1404, it is determined whether or not the big hit game is in the final cycle (16th cycle) at this time. When the determination result is “No”, in order to execute the control of the doll clothes opening and closing door in accordance with the cycle (1 to 15 cycles) up to the final cycle,
The control variable MCTL1 used in the motor control process (FIG. 32) is set to "9" (step S140).
6). On the other hand, when the determination result is "Yes" (final cycle), the control variable MCTL1 is set to "10" to execute the control of the doll's clothes opening / closing door in accordance with the final cycle (step S1408), and after step S1410. Proceed to processing.

In step S1410, it is determined whether the processing timer has expired. Since this processing timer is already “0” during the execution of the jackpot wait processing, the determination result of step S1410 is “Yes”, and the processing of steps S1412 to S1418 is executed. First, in step S1412, the processing timer used for the determination in step S1410 is set to a predetermined time (for example, 800 msec).
The operation state of the solenoids A and A is reversed at step 4 (after a big hit occurs, switching from demagnetization (OFF) to excitation (ON) is performed in the first loop), and a solenoid counter for counting the number of times the solenoids A and A are opened and closed. SOLC
After the value of NT is added by "1" (step S141)
6) In step S1418, it is determined whether the value of the solenoid counter SOLCNT has reached "35".

As described above, in the pachinko game machine of the present embodiment, the movable wing piece 1 per cycle in the big hit game state is set.
The number of times of opening and closing 01 and 101 is 18 at the maximum. Therefore, at the time when the movable wing piece starts the opening operation of the eighteenth operation (by this time, the on / off state of the solenoids A and A is switched 35 times), the determination result turns to “Yes”, which will be described later. The processing after step S1426 is performed.

If the result of the determination in step S1418 is "N"
As long as it is "o", the process proceeds to step S1420 to perform ten count control processing for detecting the number of game balls won in the variable winning device 10 based on the output signals of the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B. Sometimes ten count switches SW4A, SW4B
It is determined whether or not the output signal has become H level (ON) (step S1422).

[0321] If the decision result in the step S1422 is "N",
If "o", the routine is terminated without executing the subsequent step S1424. On the other hand, if the determination result is "Yes", in step S1424, the winning number of game balls obtained by the ten count control process described above. It is determined whether or not TENCNT has reached “10.” As long as the result of this determination is “No”, the present routine is terminated as it is, and when “Yes”, on the other hand, after step S1426 to be described later. Is executed.

According to the flow described above, the game ball wins the special winning opening (V zone) 103, and in the loop immediately after the big hit processing is started, the movable wing piece 10 of the variable winning device is set.
Excitation (ON) of the solenoids A, A is started to open the solenoids 101 for a predetermined time (step S141).
4 switches from OFF to ON).

After a predetermined time (800 msec) elapses after the excitation (ON) of the solenoids A, A is started,
The determination result in step S1410 is "No", and the process proceeds to step S1420 and subsequent steps without executing steps S1412 to S1418 (at this time, the movable blade pieces 101, 101 are held in the open state).

After the elapse of the predetermined time, step S141 is performed.
When the determination result of "0" changes to "Yes", the processing timer is set again to the predetermined time (800 msec) (step S1).
412), O of solenoids A, A in step S1414
N / OFF switching processing is performed. At this time, the solenoids A, A are switched from the ON state to the OFF state, so that the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device are driven in the closing direction. Thereafter, the movable blade piece is driven from open to closed or from open to closed every predetermined time (800 msec).

The ON / OF of the solenoids A, A
F switching operation is repeated 35 times (solenoid counter = “35”), or ten count switches SW4A and SW4B detect ten winning balls before that (ten count counter = “10”). When such a condition is satisfied, the processing after step S1426 is performed to end the big hit gaming state.

First, in step S1426, the game board 3
The LED and the lamp set to are returned to the normal lighting / flashing state (LED / lamp initial). In the next step S1428, the control variable MCTL1 is set to "11" in order to make the operation of the doll's clothes opening / closing door 130 in the motor control process the operation at the end of the big hit (big hit end operation). The solenoids A, A are demagnetized (OFF) to close 101, 101 (step S1430).

In the next step S1432, it is determined whether or not the continuous opening / closing operation performed so far is the operation in the final cycle. If the result of this determination is “No” (1 to 15 cycles), step S1434
In order to execute a later-described wait process (FIG. 53) in the subsequent main routine, the process No. Is set to “6”, the processing after step S1438, that is, the value of the above-mentioned SW3 detection flag VFG is set to “1” (step S1438), and the SW3 valid time timer is set to a predetermined time (for example, 4 sec). (Step S1440), wait processing initials for executing later-described wait processing are performed (Step S1442), and thereafter, the sound effect is stopped (Step S1446), and this program ends. On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step S1432 is “Ye
s "(at the time of the last cycle), the process number is set to" 0 "to execute the usual process in the subsequent main routine (step S1444), and then step S1446 is executed and the present routine is terminated. I do.

As described above, when the big hit occurs and the big hit game state is started, a wait process (FIG. 53) described later is executed at the end of the continuous opening / closing operation in each cycle up to the final cycle. When the continuous opening / closing operation of the last (16) cycle is completed, the big hit game state is terminated, and the routine is shifted to the normal processing.

By the way, the processing performed at the end of the continuous opening / closing operation of each cycle (1 to 15 cycles) up to the final cycle is performed when a condition for ending the big hit game state is satisfied for a predetermined time (SW3 valid timer). The game machine detects whether or not a game ball has won the special winning opening (V zone) 103 over the counting time). It has become. Note that if a game ball wins in the special winning opening (V zone) 103 before the condition for ending the jackpot gaming state (18 opening / closing operations or 10 counts) is satisfied, the above-described SW3 detection processing ( (Fig. 31)
Immediately after the execution of the processing No. Is set to “4”,
The operation control in the big hit game state is performed from the above big hit weight processing (FIG. 51).

As described above, the processing No. Is set to "6", a wait process (FIG. 53) is executed. In the wait processing (WAITPRC), first, in step S1
At 450, the solenoid C is energized (ON) to open the stop device exit door 112, and the cycle number display 1 of the count value (cycle number) of the above-mentioned continuation number counter is used.
05 (step S1452), and then decrement the processing timer set to a predetermined time (4 seconds) at the end of the big hit processing (step S145).
4) is performed.

In the next step S1456, it is determined whether or not the time of the processing timer has expired. As long as the result of this determination is "No", monitoring processing from step S1458 is performed. This monitoring process counts a predetermined time (for example, 2.998 seconds) after the big hit processing is completed, and starts from the start of the big hit processing until the predetermined time (2.988 seconds) elapses after the big hit processing ends. The determination is made as to whether or not there is a fraud according to whether or not the ten count switches SW4A and SW4B have never been turned ON.

First, in step S1458, it is determined whether or not the predetermined time (2.988 seconds) has elapsed. As long as the result of this determination is “No”, step S1460 is performed.

Further, in this case, the game can be enjoyed for a long time until the fired game ball reaches the lower side. Further, since the auxiliary variable prize device 50 is installed below the variable prize device 10, the variable prize device 10
Is not likely to win the auxiliary variable winning device 50.

In this embodiment, the game board 3 is used as a specific winning port for operating the auxiliary variable winning device 50.
Since the general winning opening 7 provided in the "8 hole" on the left side of the game board is used, and the starting winning opening is set on the left and right sides (winning openings 8, 8) relatively below the center of the game board, the gaming When a player fires a game ball, the player can aim at a specific winning opening on the left side of the game board 3 while also aiming at a starting winning opening on the left side.

In this embodiment, one random number table is selected from a plurality of random number tables by operating a random number setting switch and power ON / OFF operation provided on the back of the game board, and the selection is variably displayed. Although the hit probability of the game is changed, the present invention is not limited to such a method. The hitting probability may be set.

Also, in this embodiment, the variable display game device 5
The variable display game according to 2 is started on condition that a game ball is won to the specific winning opening 7 (symbol variation), and either a predetermined time elapses or a stop switch is pressed is satisfied. Then, the game result is determined (symbol stop), but the start condition / end condition of the variable display game may be set as follows. That is, the symbols are always changed in the normal game state, and the symbols are stopped when the game ball wins the V zone (the symbols are changed again at a predetermined time after the symbols are stopped);
The symbol change is started when a game ball is won in the starting winning opening, and the symbol is stopped when the game ball is awarded in the V zone; Change is started, and the symbols are stopped when the game ball wins the V zone; In the above cases, when a winning in the V zone is not detected for a predetermined time, the symbol may be forcibly stopped.

In this embodiment, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 is used.
Is installed below the center of the game board 3 (immediately below the variable winning device 10), but is not limited to this, and may be installed at any of the general winning openings (8 holes) 7, 17 in this embodiment. It may be an attachment position. In the case of such an installation, as shown in FIG.
When the game ball 1 is opened, the game balls that have been flipped out of contact with the movable members 51, 51 are guided to the inside of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device 10 in the open state (shown in FIG. The position of the auxiliary variable prize device may be slightly higher than the position of the variable prize device, as shown in FIG. 55. Conversely, as shown in FIG. 55, when the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable prize device 10 are opened, The movable wing pieces 101, 101

In this embodiment, as a second variable prize device, a variable prize device (first variable prize device) and an auxiliary variable prize device 50 having a different opening width are provided separately and independently. The two variable winning devices may function as the first and second variable winning devices to reduce the cost of the gaming machine. In this case, when the variable winning device is used as a first variable winning device, two movable wings provided on the device are rotated together, and when used as a second variable winning device, two movable wing pieces are rotated. Only one (left side) of the movable wing pieces can be rotated to form two winning openings having different opening widths (when used as the second variable winning device, the special winning opening is not treated as a V zone). . In addition, in the case of the dual use, the function of the specific winning opening is stopped when the variable winning device is functioning as the first variable winning device (in the case of the second variable Operation as a winning device is prohibited),
When functioning as the second variable prize device, the function of the starting prize port is stopped when the function is functioning as the second variable prize device (operation as the first variable prize device is prohibited). When a game ball wins in the starting winning opening, the function is forcibly switched to the function as the first variable winning device. When a game ball wins in the specific winning opening while functioning as the first variable winning device. It is more effective to forcibly switch to the function as the second variable winning device.

In addition, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 10 according to the present embodiment.
Has a pair of movable members 51, 51,
The game balls are made to easily win inside by rotating the game balls 1 and 51 outward so as to be separated from each other. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. A so-called "attacker type" of a configuration in which a collecting shelf for collecting fired game balls is stored in the game board, and this is appropriately pushed out to the front side of the game board 3 to collect the game balls. The vertically long guide member is rotatably arranged above the winning opening and on both left and right sides,
This guide member is usually formed into a "C" shape, and when it is operated, it is rotated to form an inverted "C" shape, so that a so-called "gate switching system" that facilitates winning of game balls, left and right of a winning opening. A so-called “guide member type” in which guide members are installed on both sides and below the guide member, and the two guide surfaces are turned upside down by turning the guide member upward. It is also possible to apply such as.

In this embodiment, the auxiliary variable winning device is
Although it is used as a condition device for rotating the movable wing piece of the variable winning device, the auxiliary variable winning device may be used as a condition device for opening and closing the doll clothes opening / closing door 130.

Also, in this embodiment, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 5
0 is a predetermined time (0.8 sec) when the result of the variable display game by the variable display game device 52 is “hit”.
, The opening operation is performed only once, but the opening operation may be performed a plurality of times. If the opening time of the auxiliary variable prize device is limited (for example, 6 seconds), the opening operation (for example, opening for 2 seconds three times) may be performed within such a limit. Then, the opening operation may be completed once (opening once for 6 seconds).

As an example of performing the opening operation of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 in a plurality of times as described above, when the auxiliary variable winning device is operated in a jackpot game state,
Opening operation of the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device 10 (opening operation and closing operation are alternately repeated every 0.8 seconds).
Movable members 51 and 5 of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 in synchronization with
It is more effective to perform the opening operation of No. 1.
In this case, a predetermined time lag corresponding to the time required for the game ball to flow between the auxiliary variable prize device 50 and the variable prize device 10 may be provided at the start timing of both opening operations. When the time lag is provided in this manner, when the game ball fired in the game area passes near the auxiliary variable winning device 50, the device 50 is opened, and the variable winning device 10 is opened.
The opening operation of both devices is performed efficiently so that the device 10 is opened when passing through the vicinity.

In addition, the timing of opening the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 in the big hit game state may be during a big hit wait state from the end of one cycle of continuous opening / closing operation to the transition to the next cycle. In this case, if a game ball wins in a specific winning opening during a continuous opening / closing operation of one cycle, that fact is stored, and after the cycle ends (after shifting to a wait state), an auxiliary variable winning is achieved. The device 50 is opened. As a result,
During the wait time in the big hit game state, a game state advantageous to the player is achieved by opening the auxiliary variable winning device, so that the game time can be used effectively. As described above, when the auxiliary variable prize device 50 is operated, the time lag corresponding to the time during which the game ball flows from the variable prize device 10 to the auxiliary variable prize device 50 is determined at the end of the operation of the variable prize device 10 and the auxiliary variable prize device 50 It is more effective if provided between the operation start timings.

When the gaming machine is in the jackpot gaming state, when a gaming ball wins at the specific winning opening, the fact (when there are a plurality of winnings, the number thereof) is stored, and the jackpot gaming state is stored. After the game has been completed, the auxiliary variable winning device 5
An opening operation of 0 may be performed.

In addition, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 of the present embodiment.
Is opened only once for a predetermined time (0.8 sec). However, according to a change in the game state, for example, when the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is opened in a normal game state, the game is opened. It is possible to make various changes such as setting the time to 0.5 sec, and the opening time to 6.0 sec in the big hit game state (to obtain a further opportunity to acquire a prize ball in the big hit game state).

The changed auxiliary variable prize winning device 5
Zero operation time (6 sec) is replaced with normal operation time (0.8 sec)
When the movable wings 101, 101 of the variable winning device are opened a predetermined number of times (10 times) after the operation time is set to 6 seconds, the operation time is set to 6 seconds, and then the operation time is set to 6 seconds. ) Has elapsed, the operation time has been set to 6 sec, when a predetermined number of game balls have been fired, the operation time has been set to 6 sec, and when the out ball has a predetermined number, the operation time has been set to 6 sec. After the setting, when there is a predetermined number of safe spheres, it is possible.

In addition, the opening time of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is determined according to the game result of the variable display game, that is, the symbol displayed by the variable display game device is a specific symbol (for example, “3”, “7”). When displayed, the operating time is, for example, 0.8
It can be set by changing from sec to 6 sec.

The operating time set in this way (6 sec)
In the same manner as described above, after a predetermined number (10 times) of the movable wings of the variable prize device has been opened, a predetermined number of game balls have been fired when a predetermined time (10 min) has elapsed after the setting is set to 6 sec. At this time, the normal operation time (0.8 sec) is returned to when a predetermined number of out-balls are present, or when a predetermined number of safe balls are present.

Further, the opening time of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 of this embodiment may be changed stepwise according to the game result of the variable display game of the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50. In this case, the operation time of the auxiliary variable winning device 50 is set to correspond to the symbol displayed by the variable display game device, for example,
1sec when the symbol is "1", 2se when it is "2"
c, 3sec for "3", 4sec for "4",
It can be set to 5 seconds for "5" and 6 seconds for "6". Then, a plurality of random number tables in which numerical values that increase the opening time are likely to appear and random number tables in which numerical values that shorten the opening time are likely to be provided are provided, and these may be appropriately selected by operating the above-described random number setting switch or the like. Good.

In this embodiment, the variable display game is always performed by the auxiliary variable prize device 50 on condition that the game ball has won the specific prize port 7. Based on the result, the auxiliary variable prize device 50 is executed. Is activated, but the winning of the game ball to the specific winning opening 7 may be made valid / invalid according to the change of the gaming state of the gaming machine. As an example, in a normal gaming state, only a prize ball is discharged by prize of a game ball to the specific winning opening 7, and when the gaming machine is in the jackpot gaming state, the gaming ball is in the specific winning opening 7. On condition that a prize is won, a variable display game is played or the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 is operated for a predetermined time (6
For example, a process of releasing the prize ball may be performed over this time (secure). in this way,
The special prize port 7 which is determined to be effective for causing the variable display game to be executed (or for operating the auxiliary variable prize apparatus) by the occurrence of the big hit game state is, for example,
When the following conditions are satisfied, the function again functions as a general winning opening (winning opening only for discharging prize balls). In other words, when the jackpot game state occurs again, after the function as the specific winning opening becomes effective, when the movable wing piece of the variable winning device is opened a predetermined number of times, the function as the specific winning opening becomes effective. Later, when the predetermined time has elapsed, after the function as the specific winning opening has been enabled,
When a predetermined number of game balls are fired, after the function as a specific winning opening becomes effective, when there are a predetermined number of out balls,
This is, for example, when a predetermined number of safe balls are found after the function as the specific winning opening becomes effective.

In this embodiment, the probability of occurrence of a “hit” in a variable display game executed by a variable display game machine executed when a game ball wins in the specific winning opening 7 is determined by a predetermined value using a random number setting switch 690. It is done by setting operation,
Thereafter, this value is fixed until the operation of the random number setting switch is performed again. However, the occurrence probability can be changed according to the gaming state of the gaming machine. As an example, in a normal gaming state, the hit occurrence probability is set to a relatively small value (for example, 1/10), and when the gaming machine is in the big hit gaming state, the hit occurrence probability is set to a relatively large value. (For example, 1/3). As described above, the hit occurrence probability once set to a large value (1/3) by the occurrence of a big hit is, for example, the original value (1/1) when the following condition is satisfied.
0). That is, when the big hitting game state occurs again, the value is set to a relatively large value (１ ／), and when the movable wing of the variable winning device is opened a predetermined number of times, the value is set to the large value. When a predetermined time has elapsed, after being set to the large value, after a predetermined number of game balls have been fired, after being set to the large value, when a predetermined number of out-balls have been set, the ball is set to the large value. After that, there is a certain number of safe balls.

Also, in this embodiment, the movable wing pieces 101, 101 of the variable winning device 10 are rotated twice on condition that a game ball has won the opened auxiliary variable winning device 50, so that V Although the winning probability of the zone is increased, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the doll's clothes door 130 may be operated for a predetermined time in order to increase the winning probability of the V zone. Also, when the gaming machine is in the jackpot gaming state, the number of gaming balls that have won the specific winning opening is stored, and the assistance is provided only when the jackpot gaming state performed at that time does not reach the final cycle. The variable winning device 50 may be operated.

In addition, the auxiliary variable prize winning device 50 of the present embodiment.
Is configured to be closed when a predetermined time (for example, 0.8 sec) has elapsed after being released, but it is determined that a predetermined number (for example, one) of game balls has been won in the auxiliary variable winning device 50. This may be closed on condition.

In the present embodiment, when the result of the variable display game is a hit, the movable member of the auxiliary variable prize device is rotated. Open and close the movable wings of the device twice, and
Although the probability of winning in the zone is increased, the change in the game in accordance with the result of the variable display game includes another configuration for increasing the probability of winning in the V zone, for example, a second configuration for forming a flow path of the game ball. The downflow guide shelf is composed of two left and right plate members, which are normally formed in a “H” shape, and the game balls are dispersed on both the left and right sides of the winning opening installation portion 121 to increase the winning rate. Various modifications are conceivable, such as converting to a "" shape so that the game balls are gathered at the center so as to easily win the V zone.

In this embodiment, whether the winning probability of a game ball to the special winning opening (V zone) 103 can be changed by changing the number of times the movable wing piece is opened and closed, or a method of changing the winning probability For example, the left and right partition plates of the winning opening installation section forming the special winning opening (V zone) 103 are configured to be slidable, and when a predetermined game condition is established, the interval is appropriately changed. Alternatively, another winning opening (for example, general winning openings 104 provided on both sides of the special winning opening) may be provisionally functioned as a special winning opening (V zone) to appropriately increase the number of V zones themselves. The following method may be used.

Also, the doll clothes opening / closing door (winning probability adjusting means)
The opening conditions of 130 are not limited to those of the embodiment, and various conditions can be considered as follows. That is, when the game result of the variable display game device installed in the auxiliary variable prize device is “hit”, the above-mentioned auxiliary variable prize device 50
When a predetermined number (for example, 100) of game balls are fired (regardless of the presence or absence of a prize ball in the auxiliary variable prize device), when a game ball wins at a specific winning port or a specific gate other than the above, the game board When a predetermined number (for example, 50) of prize balls that have won all the prize holes set in the third prize port, when a predetermined number of out-balls, a predetermined number of game balls that are fired out continuously When the ball becomes the starting winning opening 8,8
And the like, when the winning number of game balls to the predetermined value becomes a predetermined value.

The conditions for closing the doll's clothes opening / closing door are not limited to those of the embodiment, and various conditions can be considered as follows in accordance with the other opening conditions described above. That is, as the above conditions, when a game ball wins in the special winning opening (V zone) 103, the game ball actually wins in the variable winning device 10 (the game ball that wins first is the ten-count switch SW4A). When a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) has elapsed (after detection by SW4B), when a game ball has won a specific winning port or a specific gate other than the auxiliary variable winning device, or when a predetermined number of game balls have been fired. (Regardless of the presence or absence of a winning ball in the auxiliary variable winning device 50), the game board 3
