However, in the above-mentioned two types of pachinko machines, first, as a first condition, a game ball wins during opening of a large winning opening due to winning in a starting opening, and a second condition is satisfied. If the winning game ball does not pass through the specific area, no big hit occurs. This first
Since the condition (1) and the second condition are satisfied at random, the jackpot occurs completely at random. That is, since the jackpot is determined only by satisfying the first condition and the second condition, the game until the jackpot occurs becomes monotonous and tends to lack interest.

Further, since the jackpot occurs randomly, the probability of the jackpot cannot be changed. In other words, the probability of the jackpot occurrence can be adjusted by adjusting the nails, the windmills, and the like to make it easier to win the starting port and the winning port, but the probability of the jackpot occurrence cannot be changed. On the other hand, in the case of pachinko machines of one or three types, when certain conditions are met, a model that enhances interest by adding a “probability variation” function that increases the probability of occurrence of a hit on a symbol is added. There is. In this case, by satisfying a specific condition, the probability of occurrence of a jackpot is improved and the interest of the game is enhanced. On the other hand, as described above, with the two types of pachinko machines, the probability of occurrence of the jackpot cannot be changed,
Because the interval between the jackpots could not be adjusted, the jackpot was less interesting than the one and three pachinko machines.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a two-type pachinko machine having a change in the game until the occurrence of a jackpot and enhancing the interest. It is in. The object of the present invention is

First, a main processing procedure of the game control device 50 will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. 8 showing a main routine. The CPU circuit 57 determines whether the power is turned on (S
102) Only the first loop immediately after the power is turned on proceeds to step 104, performs initial settings, and ends the main routine. Here, if it is determined that the power is not turned on (S
102 is No), a signal about a winning ball or the like from the 10-count switch 63 (see FIG. 7) is input, and input processing is performed to prepare a form that can be used in another phase (S10).
6) The output and edited output data are transferred to the input / output port 52
An output process for outputting to (see FIG. 7) is performed (S108).

Thereafter, the second type starting ports 21a, 21b, 2
2 (see FIG. 1), a start-up winning process, which is a process for the game ball that has won, is performed (S110), and in the start-up winning process, when the large winning opening 32 is passed through the specific area 38, a judgment symbol is displayed. A specific area passing process for changing the design of the box 71 and determining the content of the jackpot is performed (S1).
12). Then, a symbol process for stopping the symbol change of the judgment symbol display 71 is performed (S114), and a jackpot process for controlling the game according to the determined jackpot content is performed (S1).
16). Thereafter, the sound output processing for outputting sound through the sound generator 58 is advanced (S118), and the one-cycle main routine processing is completed. The main routine is repeated each time a reset signal from the clock 56 is applied to the CPU circuit 57.

Next, the processing of steps 110 to 116 will be described in detail with reference to the subroutines of FIGS. 9 to 12. First, the starting opening winning process in step 110 will be described with reference to a subroutine shown in FIG. 9 and a time chart of FIG. CPU
The circuit 57 determines whether or not a jackpot flag indicating that a jackpot has occurred is set (S122). If the jackpot flag is not set (S122 is No), the determination of steps 124 and 128 is performed. Then, at step 130, a signal from the second-type start-up switch 61 shown in FIG. 7 as to whether or not a prize has been made to the left-down second-type start-up port 21a or right-down second-type start-up port 21b shown in FIG. Judge based on. Here, if the player has won either of the left-falling second-type starting opening 21a or the right-falling second-type starting opening 21b (Yes in S130), the process proceeds to step 132, and a processing time 1 described later is set. One opening of the special winning opening 32 is performed. On the other hand, the left-falling second type starting port 21a and the right-falling second
If there is no prize in any of the seed starting ports 21b (S1
30 is No), and in a step 134 , it is determined whether or not there is a prize in the lower second type starting port 22a. If there is a prize in the lower second type starting port 22a (S134 is YES)
s) Then, the process proceeds to step 136, where the processing time 2 described later is set, and the special winning opening 32 is opened twice.

Here, there is a prize in the left-falling second-type starting port 21a or the right-falling second-type starting port 21b (Y in S130).
es) The operation when the processing time 1 is set in step 132 will be described with reference to the time chart shown in FIG. First, when the waiting time of 1.5 seconds elapses after the winning and the timing for opening the special winning opening 32 is reached (S
124, a signal is sent to the special winning opening solenoid 72 shown in FIG. 3, and the opening member 33 is slid to the side as shown in FIG. 4 for 0.35 seconds to open the special winning opening 32 (S126). . After the elapse of 0.35 seconds, the determination of step 124 as the opening timing is No, and the special winning opening 32 is closed. Then, in step 128,
It is determined whether the processing time shown in FIG.
That is, after 3.5 seconds of standby time after opening and closing of the special winning opening 32, step 128 becomes Yes and step 13
At 0, 134, it is determined whether or not there is a prize in the second type starting port. The standby time of 1.5 seconds shown in FIG.
Until the opening and closing time of the special winning opening 32 of 35 seconds and the standby time of 3.5 seconds have elapsed, the determination in step 128 is No. Even if there is a winning in the second type starting opening during this period, step 130 , 134 are not made. That is, even if the second-type starting ports 21a, 21b, 22 are won during this time, the large winning port 32 is not opened or closed. During the opening and closing time of the special winning opening 32 and the standby time of 3.5 seconds, when a game ball in the specific area 38 is passed, this is detected by the accessory continuous operation switch 64, and a jackpot process described later is performed. Is performed.

[0037] Continuing has finished in the lower second type start hole 22 (S 134 is Yes), at step 136, the operation when setting the processing time 2 with reference to the time chart shown in FIG. 13 (D) explain. First, after winning 1.
After the elapse of the waiting time of 5 seconds, when it is time to open the special winning opening 32 (Yes in S124), the special winning opening 32 is opened. After the elapse of the 0.35 seconds, the determination in step 124 as to whether the timing is the opening timing is No, and the special winning opening 3
2 is once closed. Then, after an interval of 0.8 seconds, when the timing of opening the special winning opening 32 for the second time is reached (Yes in S124), the special winning opening 32 is opened. After the elapse of 0.35 seconds, the determination of step 124 as the opening timing is No, and the special winning opening 32 is closed. Thereafter, in step 128, it is determined whether or not the processing time shown in FIG. That is, after a standby time of 3.5 seconds has elapsed after the second closing of the special winning opening 32, the step 128 becomes Yes, and in the steps 130 and 134, is there a winning in the second type starting opening? Is determined.

Here, there is a prize during the opening of the special prize opening 32 for 0.35 seconds, and the prize ball is placed in the specific area 3 shown in FIG.
The process (step 112 shown in FIG. 8) when a jackpot has occurred after passing through No. 8 will be described with reference to a subroutine shown in FIG.

The CPU circuit 57 determines whether the big hit flag is set (S152), and then determines the specific area 38.
It is determined whether or not a winning ball has passed (S154). Here, when the winning sphere does not pass through the specific area 38 (S
154 is No), the subroutine of the specific area passage processing ends. On the other hand, if the winning ball has passed through the specific area 38 (S154: Yes), it is determined whether or not the passability variable flag is set (S156). here,
Assuming that the passage rate variable flag is not set (S1
56 is No), and the description is continued. First, the CPU circuit 57
Sets the jackpot flag (S162), and
The special winning opening variable N indicating the number of times of opening and closing is set to 0 (S
166 ). Then, the symbol of the judgment symbol display 71 attached to the second type electric accessory 30 shown in FIG. 1 starts changing the symbol (S168), and the symbol timer for controlling the symbol changing time of the judgment symbol display 71 is controlled. It is set (S170). Then, the display symbol of the judgment symbol display 71 is determined by selecting a random number (S172). Here, the symbol is determined by selecting one of eight random numbers from 0 to 7 shown in FIG.

When random numbers 0, 1, and 2 are selected in step 172, a spade pattern shown in FIG. 13B is selected. In this case, the determination of the symbol A in step 174 is No, and the determination of the symbol B in step 178 is also No.
The U circuit 57 sets “2” to a round variable R indicating the number of rounds in which the special winning opening 32 is opened. On the other hand, when the random numbers 3, 4, and 5 are selected in step 172, the heart pattern shown in FIG. 13B is selected. In this case, the determination of the symbol A in step 174 is No, but the determination of the symbol B in step 178 is Yes, and the round variable R is set to “16” in step 180. When random numbers 6 and 7 are selected in step 172, the symbol V shown in FIG. 13B is selected. In this case, the determination of the symbol A in step 174 becomes Yes, and after setting a pass rate variable flag for increasing the probability that the game ball winning the big winning opening 32 passes through the specific area 38 (S175), "1" is assigned to the round variable R.
6 "is set (step 176).

Here, the symbol processing (FIG. 8) after the start of the change of the judgment symbol display 71 in step 168 described above.
Step 114 shown in FIG. 11 will be described with reference to a subroutine shown in FIG. First, here, CPU
The circuit 57 determines whether the symbol on the determination symbol display 71 is changing (S202). Here, if the symbol has been changed (S202: No), the symbol processing subroutine is terminated. On the other hand, while the symbol is changing (S202 is Ye
s) It is determined whether the symbol timer set in step 170 has timed out (S204). Here, until the symbol timer expires (S204 is N
o), the symbol processing subroutine is terminated and symbols are continuously varied. On the other hand, when the symbol timer expires (S
204 is Yes), the change of the symbol is finished in step 206, and the stopped symbol is displayed. That is, when random numbers 0, 1, and 2 are selected in the symbol 172, the symbol of the spade shown in FIG. 13B is displayed. On the other hand, when a random number of 3, 4, 5 is selected, a heart pattern is displayed, and 6, 7,
When the random number is selected, a V symbol is displayed.

In the specific area passing process shown in FIG. 10, after the jackpot flag is set in step 162, the judgment in step 152 as to whether the jackpot flag is 1 is YES, and the process proceeds to step 160 to generate a jackpot. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the winning sphere to the special winning opening 32 has passed the specific area 38, and the passing of the game ball (S160 is YES)
s) A specific area passage flag is set (S164).

Here, the jackpot flag is set in step 162, and the random number “7” is set in step 172.
Is selected, and the big hit process when displaying the V symbol on the judgment symbol display 71 described above (step 116 shown in FIG. 8)
Will be described with reference to a subroutine shown in FIG. First, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether the big hit flag is set (S250). Here, step 250 becomes Yes, and S254, S256,
After S257, S258, S260, and S262, 1 is added to the special winning opening variable N in step 264, and the special winning opening 32 is opened (S268). After that, the special winning opening 32
An open timer (0.8 seconds) is set to control the open time (S272), and an IV timer (1) that controls the interval (0.8 seconds) between the opening of the special winning opening 32 and the next open is set. .6 seconds) (S273). Grand Prize Winner 32
Is 4.5 as shown in FIGS. 14 (A), (B) and (C).
After the elapse of the second standby time, the opening and closing operation of 0.8 seconds is repeated by the opening timer and the IV timer.

Here, the value of 0.
Until the release timer of 8 seconds elapses, in the big hit process shown in FIG. 12, step 254 becomes No, and the process shifts to the B section. The processing in the part B will be described with reference to the subroutine shown in FIG. 11B and the time chart of FIG.

After step 300, the CPU circuit 57 determines whether or not the mulberry 34 shown in FIG. 2 is up (S30).
2) If the mulberry 34 is down (No in S302 ), the mulberry operating solenoid 74 shown in FIG. 7 is driven to move the mulberry 34 upward (S306). Then, a 0.4 second quad timer is set (S308). Until the time of the 0.4 second timer expires (No in S300), the state where the mulberry 34 is up is maintained. Then, when the time of the qua timer of 0.4 seconds is up (S300 is Ye
s), the judgment of step 302 as to whether the mulberry 34 is above
And move the mulberry 34 downward (S304), and set the mulberry timer (S308). That is, in the section B, the mulberry 34 repeats the vertical movement as shown in FIG.

Here, when the 0.8-second release timer set in the above-described step 272 elapses (S254: Y
es), the process proceeds to step 256, and the special winning opening 32 is closed. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the time of the IV timer has expired. Until the above-described interval of 0.8 seconds after the closing of the special winning opening 32 elapses (No in S257), the process proceeds to the part B and the mulberry 34 Continue to move up and down.

Here, when the IV timer times out (S257: Yes), first, the winning number variable S indicating the number of game balls winning the big winning opening 32 in step 258 becomes 1
It is determined whether it is 0 or more. Here, when the number of winning balls is less than 10 (S258: No), it is determined in step 260 whether the special winning opening / closing variable N indicating the opening / closing frequency of the special winning opening 32 is 18 or more. Here, the number of times the large winning opening 32 is opened is 1
If less than 8 times (No in S260), this 1
It is determined whether or not the game ball has passed to the specific area 38 during opening and closing of the special winning opening 32 of the round (up to 18 times) based on whether or not the specific area passing flag is set in step 164 shown in FIG. (S262). Step 25
If the determinations at 8, 260, and 262 are all No, the process proceeds to step 264, where 1 is added to the special winning opening opening / closing variable N, and the special winning opening 32 is opened again.

Here, the special winning opening 32 in one round
Before and after the winning number variable S indicating the number of winning game balls reaches approximately 10 (S258 is N
o) Also, before the number of opening and closing of the special winning opening reaches 18 (No in S260), if the game ball passes through the specific area 38 and the specific area passing flag is set (Yes in S262). , The process proceeds to step 266, and 1 is subtracted from the round variable R indicating the number of rounds. Here, as described above, when the jackpot due to the V symbol occurs and the round variable R is set to “16”, the round variable R is set to 15. Then, it is determined whether the round variable R is “0” (S270). Here, since the round variable R is 15 (No in S270), the winning number variable S and the special winning opening opening / closing variable N are set to “0” (S27).
4), the specific area passage flag is set to “0” (S27)
5). Accordingly, the determination as to whether the specific area passage flag in step 262 is “1” is No, and
64, and new big winning opening 3 in the next round
2 opening and closing operation is started.

When the above processing is repeated and the opening and closing operation of the special winning opening 32 is repeated up to 16 rounds, the round variable R becomes “0”, and the routine goes to Step 276. Similarly, in the opening and closing of the special winning opening 32 in one round, the winning number variable S indicating the number of winning game balls is almost 10
And the winning number variable S becomes 10 or more (S258
Is Yes) or when the number of opening and closing of the special winning opening reaches 18 and the special winning opening opening / closing variable N becomes 18 (Y in S260).
es), the process proceeds to step 276 before the round variable R becomes “0”. In this step 276, the big hit flag is set to "0", and thereafter, it is determined whether or not the passing rate variable flag is set (S278). Here, if a spade symbol or a heart symbol is displayed as a display symbol of the judgment symbol display 71, and the passability variable flag is not set (No in S278), step 29 is performed.
2 and C1 in the time chart shown in FIG.
The mulberry 34 is driven downward as indicated by a dot, and the process is completed. In a state where the mulberry 34 is lowered, as described above with reference to FIG. 4, the prize ball enters the large winning prize opening 32 opened in response to the prize winning in the second-type starting openings 21 a, 21 b, 22. It falls from the front side 34a of 34, rolls on the slope 39 provided with the forward slope, falls down from the slope 39, passes through any of the paths c, d, and e, and is identified with a normal probability. A jackpot is generated through the area 38.
FIG. 14C shows the operation of the mulberry 34 and the rotating body 36 when the V symbol is displayed at the previous big hit, but this time the heart or spade symbol is displayed.

On the other hand, when the V symbol is displayed as a display symbol on the judgment symbol display 71 and the pass rate variable flag is set (S278: Yes), the pass rate variable flag is set to "0" (S278). S280), the mulberry 34 is driven upward as indicated by the point B1 in the time chart shown in FIG.
282), the rotating body 36 is stopped at the position shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 14B shows a stopping operation when the V symbol is not displayed in the previous big hit but the V symbol is displayed in the current big hit. In this state, as described above with reference to FIG. 5 (A), the prize-winning balls enter the special winning opening 32 opened in response to the winning of the second-type starting openings 21a, 21b, 22 from the special winning opening 32. It flows down to the mulberry 34, flows behind the mulberry 34,
4, falls down from the slope 39 through paths f, g, and h closer to the center than the state shown in FIG. That is, when the V symbol is displayed on the judgment symbol display 71, the next big hit occurs at an early stage. Here,
FIG. 14A shows the operation of the mulberry 34 and the rotating body 36 when the heart or spade pattern is displayed at the time of the previous jackpot, the heart or spade pattern is displayed this time, and the V pattern is not displayed. Is shown.

When a winning ball passes through the specific area 38 and a big hit occurs (S154 shown in FIG.
s), the determination as to whether the pass rate variable flag is “1” in step 156 is Yes, and the rotation of the stopped rotating body 36 is restarted as indicated by the point C2 in the time chart shown in FIG. (S158).

In the first embodiment, since the mulberry 34 and the rotating body 36 stop in a state in which a big hit is easily generated according to the judgment symbol on the judgment symbol display 71, the game until the big hit occurs is changed. It can be rich and can enhance the interest of the game. Further, when the mulberry 34 and the rotating body 36 are stopped in a state in which a big hit is likely to be generated, the next big hit can be expected to occur in a relatively short period of time, so that the player's interest can be increased.

In the pachinko machine according to the first embodiment, the game ball is guided toward the specific area 38 by the mulberry 34. In addition to the guidance by the mulberry 34, as shown in FIG. 15, the rotating body 36 is stopped by moving the upper projecting piece 36a to the center, and the game ball dropped from the mulberry 34 is projected by the projecting piece 36a,
It can also be configured to store between 36a. The stored game balls 41 are opened as shown in FIG. 5 (B) by starting the rotation of the rotating body 36 at a predetermined timing, and are passed through the path i, so that the game balls 41 are higher than the above-described example. It is also possible to pass through the specific area 38 with probability.

In the above-described example, the probability of occurrence of the jackpot is changed by changing the guide route to the specific area 38.
Alternatively, the probability of the jackpot can be changed by changing the size of the specific area 38 itself.
FIG. 16 shows a second type electric accessory 3 that changes the size of the specific area.

On the other hand, if there is no prize in either the left-falling second-type starting port 21a or the right-falling second-type starting port 21b (No in S138), in step 142, a prize is won in the lower second-type starting port 22a. Determine if there is. If there is a prize in the lower second type start port 22a (Yes in S142), step 146 is executed.
The processing time 4 is set, and the special winning opening 32 is opened twice.

Here, there is a prize in the left-falling second-type starting port 21a or the right-falling second-type starting port 21b (Y in S138).
es) The operation when the processing time 3 is set in step 140 will be described with reference to the time chart shown in FIG. First, after a lapse of 1.5 seconds of standby time after winning, it is time to open the special winning opening 32 (S
124 is Yes), the CPU circuit 57 opens the special winning opening 32 for 0.7 seconds (S126). The course of the 0.7 seconds (the S 124 No), closes the winning opening 32. Then, in a step 128, it is determined whether or not the processing time shown in FIG.

Here, there is a prize in the lower second type starting port 22 (S142: Yes), and the operation when the processing time 4 is set in step 146 is shown in the time chart of FIG. 13 ( F ). The operation of opening the special winning opening 32 for 0.7 seconds is performed twice. In the second embodiment, the next big hit can be generated with a relatively high probability by doubling the opening time of the special winning opening 32 as the passing rate variable portion 82 passes.

In the first embodiment described above, it is easy to mechanically pass through the specific area 38 in accordance with the winning symbol. It is also possible to extend the open time. Further, in the second embodiment, the opening time of the special winning opening 32 is extended according to the passage of the variable pass rate portion 82,
In accordance with the passage of 2, the passage through the specific area 38 can be facilitated mechanically as in the first embodiment. Also, the first
In the embodiment, the pass rate variable operation for facilitating the passage of the specific area 38 is performed only once until the next big hit occurs. However, this operation is performed until a plurality of big hits occur as in the second embodiment. You can also.

In the above-described first and second embodiments, the passage ratio variable operation is performed until the jackpot occurs a predetermined number of times.
Until the special winning opening 32 is opened a predetermined number of times in accordance with the winning of b, 22, the passage rate variable operation can be performed. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, an example was given in which game balls were paid out according to winnings.
The present invention can also be suitably used for a pachinko machine that writes data to a C card.

In the above-described second embodiment, the rotating device 80 is used to determine whether or not the game ball that has passed the specific area 38 passes through the variable pass rate portion 82.
Instead of this, it is needless to say that sorting can be performed by various mechanical methods such as using a rotating body provided with a plurality of ball receivers or a cloon.
