Here, the drive guide pieces 31, 31 are supported at their upper ends by the side decorations 30, 30 and are housed in the side decorations 30, 30 at the standby position. Therefore, in the standby position, the side decorations 30 and 30 are not conspicuous, and the side decorations 30 and 30 have a function of repelling the ball that has flowed down along the inner rail.
When the game ball is in the standby position, it is flipped back in multiple directions by the side decoration. Therefore, the drive guide piece 3
Even in the tilt position and the standby position of 1,31, the game ball will change greatly.

On the other hand, in the front of the special symbol display device 6 in the center case 4, a passage area f for the game ball is provided. This passage area f is surrounded by a peripheral U-shaped peripheral frame 7 at its upper portion, and further, inlets 34, 34 are formed on both sides of the peripheral portion, and the inlets 34, 34 are tilted outward. Guide vanes 35, 35 that are converted into a tilted position (position in FIG. 2) that opens the inlets 34, 34 and a standby position (position in FIG. 1) that stands up and blocks the inlets 34, 34.

The opening of 4 allows the game balls to flow into the passage area f. The guide wings 35, 35 are drive-controlled by the guide drive device 29b shown in FIG.

In the tilted position of the guide blades 35, 35, the tip of the guide vanes 35, 35 is made to coincide with the outlet of the guide member 33 of the normal symbol operating gates 13, 13 and passes through the ordinary symbol operating gates 13, 13. The sphere that made the guide wings 35,35
It is made to flow into the passage area f via the. That is,
As shown in FIG. 2, the drive guide pieces 31, 3 in the tilted position are shown.
The 1 and the guide wing pieces 35, 35 are used to generate the variable guide path L for guiding the ball hit along the rail to the passage area through the normal symbol actuating gates 13, 13.

Further, the outlet of the passage area f is opened downward, and the electric motor accessory 15 is normally disposed below the outlet. Here, the passage area f is formed deep inside,
Moreover, the spreading shelf surface 37 is formed on the lower surface so that the game ball operates in a wide variety in the passage area f. The passing area f may be flush with the game board surface.

Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. When the game sphere flows in from the special symbol starting area 14, the special symbol display device 6 is driven together with the supply of the prize sphere. When the ball passes continuously, the ball detection by the start switch is stored in the start storage device (RAM), and based on the storage, the LE of the start storage number display device 8 is set as described above.
D lights up sequentially and is held up to four times. This LED
Is turned off each time the design starts to change, and the number of memories is reduced.

When this special symbol display device 6 is driven, the special symbols A, B and C start changing in accordance with the symbol sequence, and after about 6.5 seconds or more, the symbol changes in the order of the special symbols A, B and C. Stop. Then, as the special symbols A, B, and C will be described later, when the same symbols are combined, a big hit occurs, the sound generator (see FIG. 3) emits a fanfare, and the variable winning device 22 is driven. The game operation is started, the open / close wing pieces 24, 24 tilt to the left and right, and the variable winning port 23 opens. This opening is
It continues until about 10 game balls are won or 28 seconds elapse. Further, as described above, when the vehicle passes through the specific area of the variable winning port 23, it is updated to the next opening / closing round,
After the opening operation is completed, the variable winning a prize opening 23 is opened again.
The number of open / close rounds is 16 times at maximum.

The above control mode will be described in detail. The symbol variations of the special symbols A, B and C are controlled by the game control device constituted by a microcomputer including a central control unit CPU and the like shown in FIG. Here, a storage device ROM and a storage device RAM are connected to the central control device CPU. In the storage area of the storage device RAM, the ball detection signal from the start switch is stored up to a predetermined number.

Further, 0 to 199 are stored in the storage device ROM.
A special random number K consisting of 200 frames is stored. Then, when the sphere enters the special symbol starting area 14 and the sphere is detected by the starting switch, the random number value at that time is selected and the content is stored in the storage device RAM. When the pattern starts to change, the stored content is checked, and if "7", it hits, and otherwise it is lost.

The storage device ROM has a special random number K
The hit symbol random number L and the lost symbol random numbers Ma, Mb, and Mc selected based on the result of (3) are stored, and the symbol to be the stopped symbol is determined based on the hit and the lost.

Furthermore, the storage device ROM includes 0 to 28.
The reach random number N is stored. This reach random number N has a plurality of types of special reach variation modes that are different from the non-reach state, so it determines which reach variation mode the reach operation is performed in. In the case of, and in the case of a lost pattern and A = B, it is selected. As this special variation mode, for example, there are various variation modes such as long reach, low speed scrolling, reverse running, acceleration stop from low speed running, and inversion of symbols.

Next, a pattern display mode using each of the above random numbers will be described. First, the sphere passes through the special symbol starting area 14, and the special symbol starting switch (see FIG. 3) detects the sphere, and at the same time, the special random number K for hit is selected to determine the hit or the loss. In this process, if the starting memory number is full (4), the special symbol starting area 1
If the ball passes 4 and is invalid, or is changing,
Processing such as adding one to the starting memory number is performed. Then, the special symbol display device 6 fluctuates based on the sphere passing to the special symbol starting area 14, or the subtraction of the starting memory number.

When the hit special random number K = 7, a hit occurs, and when the ball detection signal from the start switch is generated, or when it is stored in the start storage device, the memory is exhausted. While changing the special symbols A, B and C, a value is selected from the winning symbol random number L to determine the winning symbol. Further, the reach random number N is selected by lottery to determine which special variation mode the reach operation is performed. Here, the winning symbol random number L consists of 10 frames from 0 to 9, and the winning symbol corresponding to the frame is selected.

Then, based on the lottery value of the hit symbol random number L, the special symbols A and B are sequentially circulated and stopped,
After reaching the reach state so as to be the same symbol and executing a predetermined special operation mode designated by the reach random number N, the special symbol C stops and is predetermined by the hit symbol random number L, as shown in the lower row. "1,1,1",
Special symbols A, B, which are combinations of the same symbols composed of numbers such as "2, 2, 2", "3, 3, 3", "4, 4, 4"
Display on C so that the winning pattern is achieved. And
This is a "winning", and the above-described variable winning device 22 is operated. As will be described later, after the end of the special game operation, the fluctuation shortening operation is executed until the special symbol changes 200 times.

On the other hand, if K is not a winning frame, it becomes a loss, and the special symbols A, B, C are changed, and the random symbols Ma, Mb, Mc are sequentially selected, and the special symbols A, B, C are lost. indicate. At this time, if the symbols selected from the lost symbol random numbers Ma and Mb are special symbols A = B, the reach operation is caused to occur, and if the winning symbol is obtained, the lost symbol random numbers are again provided. Reselect Mc so that it becomes a lost pattern mode.

On the other hand, in the case where the special symbol display device 6 is variably displayed as the memory of the starting storage device 8 is exhausted, the number of starting memories of the starting storage device 8 is limited (usually 4
If there is a ball detection signal from the start switch, it becomes invalid if the number exceeds this number.

Next, the normal symbol operation will be described. When the game ball passes through a normal symbol starting gate 13 which constitutes a part of a variable guide path L described later, the game ball is detected by a normal starting switch (see FIG. 3). When the ball is detected by this normal start switch, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display device 10 changes. This ordinary pattern is composed of three LEDs.

When the ball is detected by the normal start switch while the normal symbol display device 10 is changing or the normal electric accessory 15 is open, the ball detection is stored in the normal start storage device (RAM), The LED of the normal symbol starting memory number display device 12 is turned on along with the exhaustion of the memory number, and is turned off every time the normal symbol starts to change, and the memory number is displayed. In addition, the maximum memory number of the normal symbol starting memory number display device 12 is four, and the maximum number is invalid.

After the fluctuation of the normal symbol display device 10 is stopped, or after the opening operation of the normal electric accessory 15 is completed, the normal symbol display device 1 is based on the starting memory of the normal starting memory device (RAM).
0 starts changing again. After the normal symbol display device 10 starts changing, in a normal state, the fluctuation stops after about 30 seconds, and if any one of the left and right LEDs is lit, it is a hit, and the normal electric accessory 15 is about 0. Open for 2 seconds.

The symbol mode displayed when the normal symbol display device 10 stops changing is 2 from "0" to "22".
It is usually determined by the random number P per symbol stored in the storage device ROM consisting of three frames. That is, when the ball is detected by the normal starting switch, a random number value is selected from the normal symbol random number P and the content thereof is stored, and the normal symbol display device 10 is selected.
When the fluctuation starts, the stored contents are checked and "3" is displayed.
Any one of "~ 22" is a win. In the case of this hit, the stop mode is determined by the hit normal symbol random number Q, and the central LED is turned on. In case of loss, the LEDs on both sides are lit.

Next, the operation of the main part of the present invention will be described. Ordinary symbol actuation gate 13 game ball (first game ball)
When is passed, the normal symbol display device 10 fluctuates and is confirmed, and in the case of a hit, the normal electric accessory 15 is about 0.2.
It is opened for a second. The time required for this first game ball to pass through the normal symbol actuation gate 13 and the normal electric accessory 15 to open is about 5 seconds. On the other hand, the drive guide pieces 31,
31, when the first game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 13, 1 second later, it is converted to the tilted position by the drive control of the guide drive device 29a. The predetermined time for maintaining the tilted position is instantaneous for about 0.5 seconds. Further, the guide wings 35, 35 are also converted to the tilted position by the drive control of the guide drive device 29b two seconds after the first game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 13. The predetermined time for maintaining the tilted position is also an instantaneous value of about 0.5 seconds. Thus, the first game ball is a normal symbol operation gate 13
As a result, the variable guide paths 40, 40 are generated on both sides of the center case 4 by the tilt position conversion of the drive guide pieces 31, 31 and the guide vane pieces 35, 35.

Immediately after the generation of the variable guide paths 40, 40, when the second game ball is launched along the inner side of the inner rail 3, when the timing is good, the drive guide piece 3 is formed.
By 1, is normally guided to the symbol operation gate 13, is further guided to the guide wing piece 35, the second game ball passage area f
Flow into. And the second game ball is the passage area f,
After rolling for about 3 seconds after rolling on the spreading shelf surface 37, it falls. That is, the previous game ball normally passes through the symbol operation gate 13 and falls after 5 seconds.

By the way, as described above, the first game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 13, and the normal electric accessory 1
The time required for opening 5 is about 5 seconds. When the first game ball passes through the normal symbol operation gate 13,
One second after that, the drive guide pieces 31, 31 are converted to the tilted position, and two seconds after that, the guide vane pieces 35, 35 are converted to the tilted position. Further, the second game ball spreads in the passage area f for about 3 seconds, and falls after a total of 5 seconds as described above.

Therefore, the second game ball falls from the passage area f almost in synchronism with the hit and the normal electric accessory 15 is opened, and the second game ball has good timing. Therefore, it can be supplemented by the open / close blades 16, 16 of the ordinary electric accessory 15. That is, as mentioned above,
By controlling the tilting timing of the drive guide pieces 31, 31 and the guide wing pieces 35, 35, the second game ball can flow into the first game ball or the ordinary electric auditors article 15 opened by starting memory digestion. As described above, the timing is controlled.

Further, in such a structure, the second game ball flows into the normal symbol operation gate 13 while passing through the variable guide path 40, so that the drive guide piece 3 is also provided.
The variable guide path 40 is generated again by the sequential or simultaneous tilt position conversion of the guide pieces 1, 31 and the guide vanes 35, 35. Therefore, when the game ball is launched along the inside of the rail 3 at a good timing, the fluctuation of the normal symbol display device 10 frequently occurs,
Along with this, the normal electric accessory 15 is opened, and as a result, the frequency of the special symbol display device 6 being a big hit is improved.

Here, the generation of the variable guide path 40 by the sequential or simultaneous tilt position conversion of the drive guide pieces 31, 31 and the guide wing pieces 35, 35 described above is displayed on the normal symbol starting memory number display device 12. It is also done by digesting starting memory.

In this structure, the drive guide pieces 31,
The predetermined gate between 31 and the guide wing pieces 35, 35 is the normal symbol actuation gate 13, but the ordinary symbol actuation gate 13
Instead of this, the player may be directly guided to a winning opening for generating a prize ball, or may be guided to a special symbol starting area 14 in which the special symbol display device 6 is changed. Also in this case, as a condition for driving the drive guide pieces 31, 31 and the guide wing pieces 35, 35 to open, it is possible to pass the game ball to the normal symbol operation gate 13 arranged at another position.

As described above, by generating the variable guide path 40, an action of guiding to a predetermined gate which brings a predetermined profit is produced, and thus a special profit is given to the player.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4, a fixed guide portion 38 composed of a plurality of nails or the like is formed between the tip ends of the drive guide pieces 31, 31 and the guide blade pieces 35, 35 in the tilted position. You can In this case, the variable guide path 40 is generated by the drive guide pieces 31, 31 in the tilted position, the guide blade pieces 35, 35, and the fixed guide portion 38 therebetween.

Further, the drive guide pieces 31, 31 and the guide wing piece 3
As a condition for opening and driving 5, 5 and 35, the design displayed on the normal design display device 10 may be a winning design. In this case, with the opening of the ordinary electric accessory 15, the drive guide pieces 31, 31 and the guide wing pieces 35, 35 are in the tilted position, whereby the game ball is guided into the passage area f in the center case 4. Will be done. The game ball is an ordinary electric accessory provided below the passage area f,
This makes it easier to enter the variable winning a prize, etc., and gives you a chance to gain new gains.

[0051]

As described above, according to the present invention, in the center case having the symbol display device arranged on the main surface, the passage area for the game balls is arranged at the front portion of the main surface, and the circumference of the passage area is further provided. A guide wing piece is provided in the section, and a drive guide piece is provided directly inside the inner rail of the game board. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the drive guide piece and the guide wing piece are sequentially or simultaneously tilted to change the position.
Since the variable guide path for guiding the ball hit along the rail to the passage area is generated, the game ball flows into the passage area by the establishment of the predetermined condition, and the normal electric motor arranged below A chance for the game ball to flow into a winning object, a variable winning a prize opening, or the like is generated, and thus a novel and varied motion of the game ball can be generated.

Here, in the constitution in which the variable guide path is formed by the drive guide piece, the guide wing piece, and the predetermined gate which generates a predetermined gain with the passage of the game ball arranged between them. In addition to the above-mentioned effect, a predetermined gain is generated by passing the ball through the variable guide path, so that various game modes and new gain providing modes can be realized.

On the other hand, in the first-class pachinko gaming machine, a variable guide path is generated by passing the first game ball to the normal start gate or by exhausting the start memory, and passing the center case by the variable guide path. There is a configuration in which the second game ball that has flowed into the area is allowed to flow into the normal electric accessory that has been opened due to the passage of the first game ball to the normal starting gate or the exhaustion of the starting memory. , The second game ball hit along the inside of the rail flows down to the passage area by the variable guide path and flows into the ordinary electric accessory, and the game ball when the ordinary electric accessory opens The inflow probability of will be improved.

In the structure in which the variable guide path is generated by the drive guide piece and the guide wing piece in the tilted position, and the normal starting gate therebetween, in the variable guide path, to the normal symbol operation gate. Since the second game ball flows in, the variable guide path is also generated by this. Therefore, when the game ball is launched along the inside of the rail in good timing, the fluctuation of the normal symbol display device frequently occurs, and with this. As a result, the normal electric accessory is released, and as a result, the frequency of the special symbol display device being a big hit is improved, and various new and varied gain modes can be provided.

As a condition for driving the driving guide piece and the guide wing piece to open, if the symbol displayed on the ordinary symbol display device becomes a hit symbol, the variable guideway is opened along with the release of the ordinary electric accessory. By this, the game ball is guided into the passage area in the center case, and it becomes easy for the game ball to enter the ordinary electric accessory, the variable winning port, etc. arranged below the passage area. There is an opportunity to gain a profit, and similarly, a variety of new and varied gain modes can be provided.
