DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine,
In particular, when the ball is in the right state with specific conditions such as winning in a specific winning opening, the variable winning device is advantageous to the player from the first state disadvantageous to the player by the flowing ball flowing into the starting port. The present invention relates to a pachinko machine capable of converting to a second state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, many pachinko machines of this kind have been developed. For example, JP-A-2-172482
In the gazette, the right generating device for creating the right state is configured by a prize tool capable of expanding and reducing a prize area, and the prize tool includes a general prize port and a special prize port for generating a right. Proposed.

[0003]

However, in the conventional pachinko machine, there is a margin of time from when the ball is entered into the prize-winning device to when the prize is entered into the general winning opening or the special winning opening. In some cases, the preceding ball may win the special winning opening, and the succeeding ball may also win the special winning opening depending on the timing. Therefore, even if the right is generated by the preceding ball, the right may be immediately extinguished by the subsequent ball. Therefore, the player fires aiming at the prize device which is a right generation device, and when the hit ball hits the prize device, activates the pause button until the ball is determined to stop firing the hit ball. The flight distance is adjusted so that the hit ball does not enter the winning prize tool by operating the steering wheel. For this reason, a useless ball is easily generated, and the willingness to play the game does not increase. In addition, since the operation of pachinko machines is temporarily suspended for pachinko parlors, the operation rate is reduced.

I do. In addition, since the center lower part 16 is a tulip that opens twice, there is twice a chance to enter the special winning opening 86, and it is in an open state until two hit balls win between the opening and closing wing pieces 71. To maintain.

Then, the ball enters the center lower part 16 from a specific route passing through the distribution passage device 22 and the center part 14, passes through the ball passage 75, and passes through the ball passage 75.
When the ball that has fallen into 9 flows into the special winning opening 86, the special device operation switch 17 is operated to enter the right state. Therefore, the player then fires aiming at the second starting winning tool 25 from the line. And this second starting prize tool 2
5 and the variable winning device 27 starts to operate, the rotating wing piece 114 is opened until approximately 10 seconds elapse or until ten balls have flowed in, so that the hitting ball is in the second state in which it is easy to win. Convert. Therefore, if the variable prize device 27 is changed to the second state, the player only has to concentrate the hit ball on the line aiming at the variable prize device 27 next. The second starting prize tool 25 is present on this line. Since the rotating member 103 of the second starting prize tool 25 is set to rotate once in 12 seconds, the variable prize winning device 27 During the opening, the next hit ball does not flow into the second starting prize device 25 and the second starting prize device 25 is operated until the operation of the variable prize device 27 is completed.
Wait on. Therefore, the player can obtain many prize balls by effectively utilizing the right.

In this way, according to each stage of the game,
Since the launch course of the hit ball is changed and the special device operation switch 17 is operated when the right device is in the right state, the so-called puncture is caused and a sufficient profit is obtained before the special device operation switch 17 is operated. Rights do not disappear. In addition, the center lower part 16 which is the specific winning opening 15
Since the guide means 81 is provided in the vicinity of, it is possible to reliably prevent the right state from disappearing by entering the special winning opening 86 again through the center lower handpiece 16 in the right state. In addition, since the variable winning device 27 and the second starting winning device 25, which is one of the starting winning devices, are located on the same line, no wasted ball is consumed.

On the other hand, even in a game store, since the player does not temporarily stop firing the ball in order to determine whether the right is generated or not, the operating rate of the gaming table increases, It leads to the improvement of the grade. In addition, special winning opening 86
Setting of the winning probability does not depend only on the nail adjustment, thereby facilitating the nail adjustment.

In the pachinko machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the right and left start prize tools 23 and 25 are connected to the right and left start prize tools 25 and 25 while the variable prize device 27 is in operation. It will be the center, or a total of 16 hit balls will enter,
While the variable winning device 27 is operating, the special device operating device 19 is again activated.
, The operation of the variable winning device 27 stops. The maximum number of times the variable winning device 27 is opened is set to 16. Then, fifteen prize balls are paid out for the winning prize balls that enter the variable prize winning device 27, which is a special winning opening, and seven prize balls are paid for the winning prize balls that enter the winning prize openings other than the special winning opening. Is set to pay out award balls. Further, the display lamps 29 are turned on or blinked in accordance with each stage of the game, and sound effects corresponding to the state of the game are emitted from the speakers to enliven the atmosphere of the game.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately implemented unless the structure described in the claims is changed. For example, the guide means may include not only an arrangement of obstacle nails but also obstacle members, and a specific path by the guidance means may be formed on the front side of the game board. Also, in the center lower role functioning as a specific condition fulfilling means, instead of opening the opening / closing wing piece by the back interlocking ball, a solenoid faces the ball receiving lever, and the normal symbol display device hits this solenoid. In such a case, the opening and closing wing pieces of the center lower part may be opened.
