Hereinafter, a flowchart (FIGS. 12 to 20) showing a main part of the control program stored in the ROM 31 will be described.
The processing operations of the upper prize device 1, the lower prize device 2, and the symbol display device 3 arranged on the game board 10 of the pachinko machine in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The processing of task 1 shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 and the processing of task 2 shown in FIGS.
The processing of task 3 shown in FIG. 7 and the processing of task 4 shown in FIGS. 18 to 20 are repeatedly performed in parallel by the CPU 30 every predetermined processing cycle (on the order of μs) in response to a signal from the clock / reset circuit 39. To do.

The processing of task 1 shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 relates to processing for detecting the passage of a game ball to the gate 4 and processing for expanding the ordinary electric accessory 7 when the game ball passes to the gate 4.
First, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the ordinary electric accessory 7 is performing the expanding operation by determining whether or not the winning opening expanding operation flag fa is 0 (step a).
1). Here, the value of the winning opening widening operation flag fa is 0 when waiting for the start of the operation of the ordinary electric accessory 7, that is, waiting for detection of the passage of the game ball to the gate 4, and 1 until the opening of the ordinary electric accessory 7. During the closing standby, 2 specifies the opening of the ordinary electric accessory 7, and 3 specifies the closing standby until the end of the expanding operation.

If the determination result in step a1 is true, the CPU 30 determines that the expanding operation of the ordinary electric accessory 7 is not currently performed, and determines whether the input from the gate passage detection switch SW1 is detected. Is determined (step a2),
If the determination result in step a2 is true, the process proceeds to step a3 and thereafter, and a new expanding operation of the ordinary electric accessory 7 is started. If the input from the gate passage detection switch SW1 is not detected, the CPU 30 executes the task 1 in this cycle.
Is completed.

When a new expanding operation of the ordinary electric auditors product 7 is started, the CPU 30 returns to the position shown in FIG.
The expanding operation of the ordinary electric accessory 7 is performed according to the operation timing chart. The CPU 30 sets the winning opening widening operation flag fa
Is set to 1 (step a3), the start of the expanding operation of the ordinary electric accessory 7 is stored, a predetermined value is set in the parameter t1 (step a4), and the timer T1 is operated (step a3). a5) The measurement of the elapsed time from the detection of the passage of the game ball to the gate 4 to the start of the opening operation is started, and the processing of the task 1 in this cycle is ended.

In the processing after the next cycle, since the value of the winning opening widening operation flag fa is 1, the CPU 30 determines that the result is true in the determination processing in step a6, and thereafter passes the game ball to the gate 4. Step a1 and step a1 until the elapsed time from the detection reaches the value of the parameter t1.
6 and step a7 are repeatedly executed in a predetermined processing cycle.

When the elapsed time from the detection of the passage of the game ball to the gate 4 to the start of the opening operation reaches the value of the parameter t1 (step a7), the CPU 30 sets 2 to the value of the winning opening widening operation flag fa. Switching (step a8),
The opening of the expanding operation of the ordinary electric accessory 7 is stored, a predetermined value is set in the parameter t1 (step a9), the timer T1 is operated (step a10), and the excitation command of the ordinary electric accessory opening solenoid SOL1 is output. Then, measurement of the elapsed time from the start of the opening of the ordinary electric accessory 7 is started, and the processing of the task 1 in this cycle is ended.

In the processing after the next cycle, since the value of the winning opening widening operation flag fa is 2, the CPU 30 determines that the result is true by the determination processing of step a12.
Step a1, step a1 until the elapsed time from the opening start of the ordinary electric accessory 7 reaches the value of the parameter t1.
6, the determination processing of step a12 and step a13 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle. Also, during this time, the winning opening 5 of the ordinary electric accessory 7 is expanded.

When the elapsed time from the start of the opening of the ordinary electric accessory 7 reaches the value of the parameter t1 (step a13),
The CPU 30 outputs a command to release the excitation of the solenoid SOL1 for opening the ordinary electric accessory (step a14), sets the value of the winning opening widening operation flag fa to 3 and switches it (step a15), and closes the ordinary electric accessory 7. And a predetermined value is set in the parameter t1 (step a16), and the timer T1
Is activated (step a17), and the processing of the task 1 in this cycle ends.

In the processing after the next cycle, the CPU 30 determines that the value of the winning opening widening operation flag fa is 3 and thus is false by the determination processing of step a12.
The time elapsed since the closing of the ordinary electric accessory 7 is the parameter t
Step a1, Step a
6, Steps a12 and a18 are repeatedly executed in a predetermined processing cycle. During this time, the winning opening 5 of the ordinary electric accessory 7 is closed, but the detection of the passage of the game ball to the gate 4 is not performed.

When the elapsed time from the closing of the ordinary electric accessory 7 reaches the value of the parameter t1 (step a18), C
The PU 30 sets the value of the winning opening widening operation flag fa to 0 and initializes it (step a19), and ends the processing of the task 1 in this cycle. If the input of the gate passage detection switch SW1 is detected in the processing of the task 1 in the next cycle or later as a result of the initialization of the winning opening expansion operation flag fa, the expansion of the new ordinary electric accessory 7 is performed. The operation process is started.

When the normal electric accessory 7 performs the expanding operation,
When the winning opening 5 of the ordinary electric accessory 7 is expanded and a game ball wins in the winning opening 5, as described above, the gaming ball that has fallen into the top winning device 1 and is won by the sorting member 11 is distributed. If the distribution member 11 is at the position of the bottom dead center at this time, the game balls are distributed downward and forward, fall into the guideway entrance 110 communicating with the lower-prize device 2, and guide the back of the game board 10. The player falls into the symbol starting port 13 of the winning device 2 via the road.

The process of task 2 shown in FIGS. 14 to 16 relates to the symbol change process in the symbol display section 40 of the symbol display device 3. The symbol variation process is as shown in FIG.
This is performed according to the operation timing chart, and the symbol display section 4
There are eight types of display symbols displayed at 0, from 1 to 8, and the symbol transition order is 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6
→ 7 → 8 → 1 and the symbol transition speed is 0.03 per symbol
2 seconds.

The CPU 30 that has started the processing of the task 2
The value of the random number for determination regarding the hit / miss and the right rotation / left rotation of the lower rotating body 18 is sequentially changed within a range of 0 to 1024 at every predetermined processing cycle of the task 2. That is, the value of the hit random number storage register W is incremented by one (step b1),
Next, it is determined whether or not the value of the hit random number storage register W has reached 1024 (step b2). If the value of the hit random number storage register W has reached 1024, the value of the hit random number storage register W is changed. Set to 0 (step b
3). As a result, any value of 0 to 1023 is stored as the value of the hit random number storage register W.

After the processing of step b2 or step b3, the CPU 30 proceeds to step b4 and determines whether or not a new symbol change can be started in the symbol display section 40, and the value of the symbol change flag Fa is 0. It is determined according to whether or not (step b4).

When the value of the symbol variation flag Fa is 0, it means that the symbol actuation switch SW2 is waiting for input, that is, when the symbol variation can be newly started, 1 indicates that the symbol is changing, and 2 indicates that the symbol is being stopped. Stipulate. If the value of the symbol variation flag Fa is a value other than 0, a new symbol variation is not started, and the process of step b5 relating to input detection from the symbol operation switch SW2 described later is not executed.

In the discriminating process of step b4, if the value of the symbol variation flag Fa is 0, a new symbol variation can be started, and the CPU 30 proceeds to step b5 to detect an input from the symbol activation switch SW2. It is determined whether or not it is performed (step b5). If the input from the symbol actuation switch SW2 is not detected in the determination processing of step b5, the CPU 30 ends the processing of the task 2 in this cycle. In the determination process of step b5, when an input from the symbol operation switch SW2 is detected,
The symbol variation flag Fa is set to 1 and the start of the symbol variation process is stored (step b6).

Next, the CPU 30 sets the R as shown in Tables 1 to 8 according to the value of the hit random number storage register W.
According to the value of the hit random number storage register W stored in the OM31, the value of the lower rotator determination symbol data is selected from the data table of the lower rotator determination symbol data and stored in the symbol data storage register r1 (step b7). Then, the value of the display index i1 is set to a symbol 64 symbols before the symbol determined corresponding to the value of the symbol data storage register r1 (step b).
8). The relationship between the value of the lower rotator determination symbol data and the symbol displayed on the symbol display unit 40 is as shown in Table 9, and for example, the value of the selected lower rotator determination symbol data is 0. In this case, the symbol to be determined is 7, and the set display index i1 is also 64 symbols before, so it is 7.

[Table 9] After the processing in step b8, the CPU 30 sets the parameter t2
Is set to a predetermined value (step b9), the timer T2 is operated to start measuring the elapsed time (step b1).
0), the variation of the symbol is started 64 symbols before the symbol to be determined (step b11), and the process of the task 2 in this cycle ends.

In the processing after the next cycle, since the value of the symbol variation flag Fa is 1, the CPU 30 executes the processing from step b1 to step b4, and then executes step b1.
In the discriminating process of No. 12, the process from Step b1 to Step b4, the discriminating process of Step b12 and Step b13, and the Step b14 are performed until the elapsed time from the start of the symbol change reaches the value of the parameter t2. Is repeatedly executed in a predetermined processing cycle. In the embodiment, the symbol change time of the symbol display unit 40 is set to 1.984 seconds.

When the elapsed time from the start of the symbol change reaches the value of the parameter t2 (step b13), the CPU 30
Stops the fluctuation of the symbol display section 40 (step b1).
5). As a result, the symbol corresponding to the value of the symbol data storage register r1 is stopped and displayed on the symbol display section 40.

After the processing in step b15, the CPU 30
The value of the symbol variation flag Fa is switched to 2 (step b1
6) A predetermined value is set in the parameter t2 (step b1)
7) Activate the timer T2 to start measuring the elapsed time from the symbol stop (step b18), and end the processing of the task 2 in this cycle.

In the processing after the next cycle, since the value of the symbol variation flag Fa is 2, the CPU 30 executes the processing from step b1 to step b4, and thereafter executes step b.
In the discriminating process of No. 12, the process from step b1 to step b4 and the discriminating process of step b12 and step b19 are performed in a predetermined manner until the elapsed time from the symbol change stop reaches the value of the parameter t2. Execute repeatedly in the processing cycle. In the embodiment, the standby time of the symbol display unit 40 after the symbol is stopped is set to 0.520 seconds.

When the elapsed time from the stop of the symbol fluctuation reaches the value of the parameter t2 (step b19), the CP
U30 determines the hit / miss and the rotational direction of the lower rotating body 18 based on the value stored in the symbol data storage register r1. In this embodiment, two types of hits related to the symbol change stop are provided, a small hit and a large hit. When the value of the symbol data storage register r1 is 4, that is, when 3 is displayed on the symbol display section 40, It is a small hit, and when the value of the symbol data storage register r1 is 0, that is, the symbol display unit 40
When 7 is displayed, it is a big hit, and when the value of the symbol data storage register r1 is other than 0 and 4, that is, the symbol display unit 4
When a symbol other than 3 and 7 is displayed at 0, it is a loss. In addition, when a hit occurs, the lower rotating body 18 of the lower winning device 2 rotates clockwise, and when it loses, the lower rotating body 18 of the lower winning device 2 rotates left.

First, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the value of the symbol data storage register r1 is 0, that is, whether or not it is a big hit (step b20). Is set to 1 (step b2
1) The process proceeds to step b24.

If the result of the determination in step b20 is false, that is, if the hit is not a big hit, the CPU 30 then proceeds to the symbol data storage register r1.
Is determined to be 4, that is, it is a small hit (step b22). If a small hit is made, 1 is set to a small hit flag F2 (step b23), Move to step b24. When a big hit or a small hit has occurred, the CPU 30 proceeds to step b24, sets the rotation direction flag Fb to a value 1 defining right rotation (step b24), and proceeds to step b26.

The discriminating process of step b20 and step b
If all of the determination results of the determination processing of No. 22 are false, the result is a miss. In this case, after the determination of step b22, the CPU 30 sets the rotation direction flag Fb to a value 0 defining left rotation (step S22). Step b25), Step b
Move to 26.

The CPU 30 that has proceeded to step b26
The value of the symbol variation flag Fa is set to 0 to initialize it (step b26), and the rotation operation flag Fc relating to the operation processing of the lower rotating body 18 is set to 1 to permit the start of the rotation operation (step b27). The processing of task 2 of FIG. As a result of initializing the value of the symbol variation flag Fa, if an input from the symbol activation switch SW2 is detected in the process of task 2 in the next cycle and thereafter, a new symbol variation process is started.

The processing of task 3 shown in FIG. 17 relates to the rotation operation of the lower rotating body 18 of the winning device 2. First, the CPU 30 that has started the processing of the task 3 performs the processing of stopping the lower rotating body 18 at the above-described fixed position as the processing after the power is turned on.

The CPU 30 determines whether or not the value of the rotation operation flag Fc is 0, which defines the initial state (step c1). Immediately after the power is turned on, it can be considered that it is before the start of the game, so that the process of step b27 of the process of the task 2 is not executed. Also, the value of the rotation operation flag Fc is set to the initial value 0 in the initialization process immediately after turning on the power as in the conventional case.
Is set.

After determining in step c1, the CPU 30 proceeds to step c2, and determines whether or not an input from the home position detection switch SW5 is detected (step c2).
If the input from the home position detection switch SW5 is not detected in the determination process of step c2, the CPU 30
Outputs a drive command for the motor M2 to rotate the lower rotating body 18 (step c3), and ends the processing of the task 3 in this cycle.

If the fixed position of the lower rotating body 18 is not detected, the value of the rotation operation flag Fc is 0 in the processing of task 3 in the next cycle and thereafter, so that the CPU 30 executes the processing in steps c1 and c2. The determination process and the process of step c3 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle, and when an input from the home position detection switch SW5 is detected (step c2), a stop command for the motor M2 is output to stop the lower rotating body 18 ( Step c4), the value of the fixed position detection flag Fd is set to 0, and the fact that the fixed position is detected is stored (step c4).
5), the process of task 3 in this cycle ends.

Then, the game is started, the symbol fluctuation is stopped, the hit or miss is determined, and the CPU 2 is executed until the processing of step b27 of the processing of the task 2 is executed.
30 is step c1, step c2, step c4,
The process of step c5 is repeatedly executed at predetermined intervals, and when the process of step b27 of the process of task 2 is performed and the value of the rotation operation flag Fc is switched to 1, the determination result of step c1 becomes false and the process proceeds to step c6. The process proceeds to determine whether the value of the fixed position detection flag Fd is 0 (step c6).

The CPU 30 determines that the lower rotator 18 is true at the beginning when the process proceeds to the determination process of step c6, and determines whether the rotation direction of the lower rotator 18 is right rotation or left rotation. Whether to operate is determined by the rotation direction flag F
It is determined whether or not the value of b is a value 0 that defines left rotation (step c7).

If the result of the determination in step c7 is true, that is, if the CPU 30 performs the left rotation operation, the CPU 30 outputs a drive command for the motor M2 to drive the lower rotating body 18 to rotate left (step c10). Then, the process proceeds to step c11.

If the decision result in the step c7 is false,
That is, when performing the clockwise rotation operation, the CPU 30 outputs a reversal command (step c8), outputs a drive command for the motor M2, and drives the lower rotating body 18 to rotate clockwise (step c8).
9) The process proceeds to step c11.

After executing step c9 or step c10, the CPU 30 sets 1 to the fixed position detection flag Fd (step c1).
1), execution of a later-described fixed position detection process is permitted, and the process of task 3 in this cycle is terminated.

CPU 30 rotating lower rotating body 18
In the processing after the next cycle, the value of the rotation operation flag Fc is 0 and the value of the fixed position detection flag Fd is 1, so that the determination results in step c1 and step c6 are both false and the step The process proceeds to c12, where it is determined whether or not an input from the home position detection switch SW5 is detected (step c12). Thereafter, until the home position of the lower rotating body 18 is detected, steps c1, step c6 and step c6 are performed. c
The determination processing of step 12 and the processing of step c15 relating to the drive command of the motor M2 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

In the meantime, the lower rotating body 18 in the symbol starting port 13
The game ball resting on the peripheral surface 94 of the player falls into the ball receiving portion 26 and is moved by the right rotation of the lower rotating body 18 in the case of a hit while being caught by the ball receiving portion 26, and becomes special. It falls into the winning opening 14, and in the case of a loss, it moves with the left rotation of the lower rotating body 18 and falls into the normal winning opening 15.

When the fixed position of the lower rotating body 18 is detected (step c12), the CPU 30 outputs a stop command of the motor M2 (step c13), stops the lower rotating body 18 at the fixed position, and sets the rotation operation flag Fc. The value is set to 0 for initialization (step c14), and the process of task 3 in this cycle ends.

In the processing of task 3 after the next cycle, the value of the rotation operation flag Fc has been initialized.
Means that after the discriminating process of step c1 and step c2, the process of step c4 and step c5 is executed,
The value of the fixed position detection flag Fd is initialized.

Next, the processing of the task 4 relating to the opening operation processing of the special winning opening 8 and the detecting operation processing of the third type starting opening 14 shown in FIGS. 18 to 20 will be described.

When the stop symbol of the symbol display device 3 becomes 3 or 7 and hits, when the lower rotating body 18 rotates rightward and the game ball falls into the special winning opening 14, the game ball is won in a specific area. Detected by the detection switch SW4, the ball receiving portion 29 of the right rotation device 19 enters a special state having a function as the third type starting port 6. In the following description, a state in which the ball receiving portion 29 of the right rotation device 19 has a function as the third type starting port 6 is referred to as a special state.

The CPU 30 that has started the processing of the task 4
First, it is determined whether or not the ball receiving portion 29 of the right rotation device 19 is in the special state having the function as the third type starting port 6 based on whether or not the current value of the special state flag f1 is 1. (Step d1). Here, the special state flag f1
The value of 1 specifies that the ball receiving portion 29 of the right rotation device 19 is in a special state having a function as the third type starting port 6.

Even if a big hit occurs after the game is started, the value of the special state flag f1 is initialized immediately after the occurrence of the big hit because the presence or absence of the detection of the specific area passage detection switch SW4 is not determined. The value of 0 remains as it is, and the CPU 30 determines false in the determination processing of step d1, proceeds to step d2, and determines whether there is a signal input from the specific area passage detection switch SW4 (step d2). If the game ball has not fallen into the special winning opening 14, there is no input of the specific area passage detection switch SW4. In this case, the CPU 30 proceeds to step d30 to open the special winning opening 8. In order to determine whether or not the opening is in progress, it is determined whether or not the current value of the special winning opening opening flag f2 is a value 1 that defines that the opening is in progress (step d30). In the determination process of step d30, if the special winning opening 8 is open when the ball receiving unit 29 of the right rotation device 19 ends the function as the third type starting opening 6, the special winning opening 8 remains. This is a process for releasing time. If the decision result in the step d30 is false, the CPU 30 ends the process of the task 4.

The CPU 30 repeatedly executes the processing of steps d1, d2 and d30 at a predetermined processing cycle until the input of the specific area passage detection switch SW4 is detected.

When the special ball is not in the special state, when the game ball falls into the special winning opening 14, the input of the specific area passage detection switch SW4 is detected in the determination processing of step d2, and the CPU 30 determines that the result is true. Then, the process proceeds to step d3, where the value of the third kind opening mouth winning number counter C2 for counting the number of winnings to the third kind opening 6 is set to 0 and initialized (step d3), and 1 is set to the special state flag f1. The fact that the special state has been set is stored (step d4).

After the processing in step d4, the CPU 30 determines whether or not there is a signal input from the third-type starting port winning detection switch SW6, that is, the CPU 30 moves the game ball to the winning port 23 below the right rotation device 19 in FIG. It is determined whether there is a drop (step d5).

In the discriminating process of step d5, if no drop of the game ball into the winning opening 23 is detected, the CPU
The process proceeds to step d10, and the CPU 30 that has proceeded to step d10 determines whether or not the current value of the special winning opening opening flag f2 is 1 which defines that the opening is being performed (step d10). Immediately after entering the special state, since the opening operation of the special winning opening 8 has not been started, the value 1 defining that the current value of the special winning opening flag f2 is open.
Does not occur, and the process proceeds to step d11.

The CPU 30 sets the value of the special winning opening winning number counter C3 for counting the number of game balls winning to the special winning opening 8 to 0.
It is set and initialized (step d11), and it is determined whether or not there is a signal input from the third-type start-up winning detection switch SW6 (step d12). Since the process has the same cycle as step d5, the result of the determination in step d5 Is false, the determination result in step d12 is also false, and in the determination processing in step d12, the third-type start-up winning detection switch SW6
Is not detected, and the CPU 30
Ends the process of task 4 in this cycle.

Thereafter, the CPU 30 executes the processing of steps d1, d2, d3 to d5, and d10 to d12 until the signal input from the third kind start opening winning detection switch SW6 is detected. It is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

When the game ball falls into the winning opening 23, the signal input from the third kind starting opening winning detection switch SW6 is detected (step d5), and the CPU 30 proceeds to step d6 and generates the current time. It is determined whether the hit is related to a big hit or a small hit.

First, the processing in the case where the hit that has occurred this time is a small hit will be described. If it is a small hit, the process of step b23 of task 2 is performed, so the value of the small hit flag F2 is 1 and the value of the big hit flag F1 is 0. In step d6, the CPU 30 determines whether or not the value of the big hit flag F1 is a value 1 that defines occurrence of a big hit (step d6).

In the case of a small hit, since the present value of the big hit flag F1 is 0, it is determined to be false, and the CPU 30 proceeds to step d9, sets 0 to the special state flag f1, and determines that the special state is set. Is cleared (step d9), and after the processing of step d10 and step d11, step d12 is performed.
In the determination process of the above, since the determination process of step d5 of the same cycle is determined to be true, it is determined to be true and the process proceeds to step d13 to open the special winning opening 8 according to the operation timing chart as shown in FIG. Processing will be started.

The CPU 30 that has proceeded to step d13
The opening time M of the special winning opening 8 is set in the parameter t5 (step d13), the timer T3 is operated to start measuring the opening time (step d14), and the special winning opening opening flag f2 is set.
Is set to 1 to switch to a value that defines that the special winning opening 8 is being opened (step d15), and the special winning opening opening solenoid SO is set.
The excitation command of L1 is output to open the special winning opening 8 (step d16), and the process of the task 4 in this cycle ends.

In the case of a small hit, the opening operation of the large winning opening 8 relating to the detection of the winning of the game ball to the third type starting opening 6 is performed as follows.
The value of the special state flag f1 is switched to the value 1 that defines the special state, since the value of the special state flag f1 is only one at the time of detecting the winning of the game ball to the third type start port 6, and then the game ball to the third type start port 6 is detected. Is returned to 0 with the winning detection of.

In the processing after the next cycle in the case of occurrence of a small hit, the CPU 30 determines the signal input from the specific area passage detection switch SW4 in the processing of step d2 after the determination of step d1 based on the value 0 of the special state flag f1. It is determined whether or not there is a switch.
The following description is based on the assumption that no signal input is detected. C
In the determination processing in step d30 after the determination in step d2, the PU 30 determines that the current value of the special winning opening opening flag f2 is 1, and determines that the value is true, and proceeds to step d17.

The CPU 30 that has proceeded to step d17
The elapsed time T3 from the opening of the special winning opening 8 is the parameter t.
5 is determined (step d1).
7) Hereinafter, until the elapsed time T3 from the opening of the special winning opening 8 reaches the value of the parameter t5, the above-described steps d1, step d2, step d30, and step d1 are performed.
7 and each of the following processes are repeatedly executed in a predetermined processing cycle.

That is, the presence or absence of a signal input from the special winning opening winning switch SW3 is determined (step d18). If a signal input from the special winning opening winning detection switch SW3 is detected, the special winning opening winning number counter is determined. The value of C3 is incremented by one (step d19), and when the processing of step d19 is executed, it is determined whether or not the value of the special winning opening winning number counter C3 has reached the specified winning number of 10 (step d20). ). If the signal input from the special winning opening winning detection switch SW3 is not detected in the determination processing in step d18, and if the value of the special winning opening winning number counter C3 is equal to the specified winning number 1 in the determination processing in step d20.
If it is determined that the number has not reached 0, step d
Then, the process goes to 21 to set the special winning opening opening flag f2 to the value 1 which defines that the opening is in progress (step d21), and ends the processing of the task 4 in this cycle.

In the discriminating process of step d20, the value of the special winning opening winning number counter C3 is set to 10 when the elapsed time T3 from the opening of the special winning opening 8 reaches the value of the parameter t5. Reached, or
If the elapsed time T3 from the opening of the special winning opening 8 reaches the value of the parameter t5 before the value of the special winning opening winning number counter C3 reaches the specified winning number 10 in the determination processing of step d20, the CPU 30 Goes to step d22, where the value of the small hit flag F2 is
Is determined (step d22). In this case, it is determined to be true, so that the value of the small hit flag F2 is set to 0.
Set and clear (step d23), step d2
Then, the process goes to 4 to set the value of the special winning opening flag f2 to 0 and initialize it (step d24), output an excitation release command for the special winning opening solenoid SOL1, and close the special winning opening 8 (step d25). Then, the processing of the task 4 in this cycle ends.

Since the value of the special winning opening flag f2 is 0, the processing of the task 4 of the CPU 30 in the next cycle and thereafter is executed by repeatedly executing the processing of step d1, step d2 and step d30 in a predetermined processing cycle. If a small hit occurs, the opening operation of the large winning opening 8 is substantially performed only once when the winning of the game ball to the third type starting opening 6 is detected.

Next, the processing in the case where the hit that has occurred this time is a big hit will be described. If it is a big hit, the process of step b21 of task 2 is performed, so that the value of the big hit flag F1 is 1 and the value of the small hit flag F2 is 0.

The CPU 30 determines in step d6 that
It is determined whether or not the value of the big hit flag F1 is 1 that defines the occurrence of a big hit (step d6). In the case of a big hit, the current value of the big hit flag F1 is 1, so it is determined to be true. The CPU 30 increments the value of the third-type starting opening winning number counter C2 by one (step d7), and sets the value of the third-type starting opening winning number counter C2 to the prescribed winning number 16.
Is determined (step d8).

At the time of detecting the first winning of a game ball into the third kind starting port 6 after the special state is entered, since the total number of game balls dropped into the winning port 23 has not reached 16, the step d
In the discriminating process of No. 8, the third-type starting opening winning number counter C
It is determined that the value of 2 has not reached the prescribed number of winnings 16,
The CPU 30 proceeds to step d10.

The CPU 30 that has proceeded to step d10
Since the value of the special winning opening flag f2 is 0, in the determination process of step d12 after the processes of step d10 and step d11, the determination process of step d5 of the same cycle is determined to be true. Proceeding to step d13,
As in the case of the small hit, the opening operation processing of the special winning opening 8 is started according to the operation timing chart as shown in FIG.

The CPU 30 executes the processing of steps d13 to d16 and terminates the processing of the task 4 in this cycle. However, the description of each processing is the same as that in the case of the small hit, so that the description is omitted.

In the case of a big hit, the opening operation of the special winning opening 8 relating to the detection of the winning of the game ball to the third kind starting opening 6 is as follows.
Since the game is performed up to 16 times including the time of the first winning detection of the game ball to the third kind starting port 6, the value of the special state flag f1 is the value 1 which defines the special state.

In the processing of task 4 after the next cycle in the case of a big hit, since the value of the special state flag f1 is 1, the CPU 30 proceeds to step d26 after the discrimination processing in step d1 and passes through the specific area. It is determined whether an input from the detection switch SW4 is detected (step d2).
6).

First, a description will be given assuming that a signal input from the specific area passage detection switch SW4 is not detected. If the determination result of step d26 is false, the CPU 30
Moves to the processing after step d4. After the processing of step d4, if there is no signal input from the third-type starting opening winning detection switch SW6 in the determination processing of step d5, the processing proceeds to step d10, while the third-type starting is performed. If a signal input from the winning detection switch SW6 is detected, step d
After the determination of No. 6, the processing of steps d7 and d8 is executed to increment the value of the third-type starting opening winning number counter C2, and then the value of the third-type starting opening winning number counter C2 becomes the prescribed winning number 16. It is determined whether or not the
If has not reached, the process proceeds to step d10.

In the determination process of step d10, the special winning opening flag f2 has the value 1 which specifies that the opening is in progress, so that the CPU 30 determines that it is true and proceeds to step d17.

The CPU 30 that has proceeded to step d17
The elapsed time T3 from the opening of the special winning opening 8 is the parameter t.
5 is determined (step d1).
7) Hereinafter, until the elapsed time T3 from the opening of the special winning opening 8 reaches the value of the parameter t5, step d1, step d26, step d4 to step d described above are performed.
17 and the following processing are repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.

That is, the CPU 30 executes the processing of step d18 and step d21, or executes the processing of step d21 after the processing of step d18, step d19 and step d20, and executes the task 4 of this cycle.
However, since these processes are the same as the above-described processes at the time of the small hit, description thereof will be omitted.

In the discriminating process of step d20, the value of the special winning opening winning number counter C3 is set to 10 when the elapsed time T3 from the opening of the special winning opening 8 reaches the value of the parameter t5. Reached, or
If the elapsed time T3 from the opening of the special winning opening 8 reaches the value of the parameter t5 before the value of the special winning opening winning number counter C3 reaches the specified winning number 10 in the determination processing of step d20, the CPU 30 Goes to step d22, where the value of the small hit flag F2 is
Is determined (step d22).
In the case of a big hit, since the value of the small hit flag F2 is 0, the determination result of step d22 becomes false and the CPU 30
Moves to step d24, where the special winning opening opening flag f2
Is set to 0 to initialize (step d24), the excitation release command of the special winning opening solenoid SOL1 is output to close the special winning opening 8 (step d25), and the processing of the task 4 in this cycle is ended. .

When a big hit occurs, if the signal input from the specific area passage detection switch SW4 is not detected after the value of the special state flag f1 becomes 1, the value of the special state flag f1 is 1, Since the value of the special winning opening opening flag f2 becomes 0, the processing of the task 4 of the CPU 30 in the next cycle and thereafter is performed by repeatedly executing the processing of step d1 and step d26 and the processing of step d4 and thereafter in a predetermined processing cycle. The opening operation of the special winning opening 8 is performed up to 16 times including the time when the winning of the game ball to the third type starting opening 6 is detected.

That is, in the processing of the CPU 30, in step d5, the third kind start-up winning detection switch SW
6, the opening operation of the special winning opening 8 is started, and in the processing of the task 4 during the opening operation of the special winning opening 8, steps d1, step d26, and step d are performed.
After the process of step 4, the signal input from the third-type start-up winning detection switch SW6 is not detected in the determination process of step d5.
The process proceeds to step d10 and step d17, where the opening operation of the special winning opening 8 is completed, and in the subsequent determination processing of step d5 of the processing of the task 4, the signal from the third type starting opening winning detection switch SW6 is returned again. If the input is detected, the opening operation of the special winning opening 8 is performed once each time the signal input from the third type starting opening winning detection switch SW6 is detected.

On the game board 10 of this embodiment, the timing at which the third-type starting port 6 can be won by the right rotation device 19 is periodic, so that when the large winning port 8 is open. Is set so that the game ball is shifted at the timing at which the third kind start port 6 can win, that is, the game ball is displaced so as to be placed on the peripheral surface of the rotating body 22 in FIG. If the game ball rests on the peripheral surface of the rotating body 22, the game ball is placed in the special winning opening 8 before the game ball on the peripheral surface of the rotating body 22 falls into the lower winning opening 23. What is necessary is just to fire the game balls so as to make ten.

In this manner, the CPU 30 increments the value of the third-type start-up winning number counter C2 by one each time a signal input from the third-type start-up winning detection switch SW6 is detected in the determination process of step d5. In the processing of step d7) and step d8, the third kind start port winning number counter C2
Is determined to have reached the prescribed winning number 16, and the value of the third-type start opening winning number counter C2 is determined to be the prescribed winning number 16.
Reached, the CPU 30 resets the value of the big hit flag F1 to 0.
Set and initialize (step d28), step d9
Then, the special state flag f1 is cleared to 0 (step d9), the special state is cleared, and the opening operation processing of the special winning opening 8 with respect to the value 16 of the third type start opening winning number counter C2 is started. I do. Since the value of the big hit flag F1 is set to 0, the subsequent processing of the CPU 30 is the same as the operation at the time of the small hit, and thus the description is omitted.

When the current value of the special state flag f1 is 1, and the input from the specific area passage detection switch SW4 is detected in the determination processing of step d26, that is, the special state is being performed. When the game ball falls into the special winning opening 14 at the time, the CPU 30 proceeds to step d.
27, the special status flag f1 is cleared to 0 (step d27), and the process proceeds to step d10. Even if the special status flag f1 becomes 0, it is determined that the current value of the special winning opening opening flag f2 is open. If the specified value is 1, the CPU 30
Performs the same processing as the operation at the time of the small hit and opens the large winning opening 8 for the remaining time.

In the case of a big hit, the special condition for opening the special winning opening 8 by a game ball winning the third type starting opening 6 is the third type starting opening after the special state is entered. When the total number of winnings to the number 6 reaches 16, the special state ends when the 16th winning detection is detected, or when a game ball newly passes through the special winning opening 14 during the special state.
