Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention begins to maintain a state in which a winning probability of a winning device is increased within a predetermined time when a pachinko ball enters a specific winning opening, and the winning prize is increased. The present invention relates to an improvement of a pachinko machine that starts the winning probability increasing state again from the beginning when a pachinko ball enters the specific winning opening again while the winning probability increasing state of the device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when a pachinko ball enters a specific winning opening, the state of increasing the winning probability of the winning device within a predetermined time is started to be maintained, and the specific winning is performed while the winning probability of the winning device is increasing. There is a pachinko machine in which when the pachinko ball enters the mouth again, the winning probability increasing state is started again from the beginning, so that the gambling property is suppressed and the willingness to play is not diminished.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention is to add a game change in order to make this type of pachinko machine more entertaining.

(Means for Solving Problems) Therefore, the present invention has the following configurations.

That is, it is divided into an upper space and a lower space by a partition plate, a specific winning port is provided in the lower space, and one spherical passage opening into the upper space and the lower space and the upper space and the specific prize are provided. A winning space provided with another ball passage opening to another winning opening other than the mouth, a first driving means for moving an opening / closing member capable of opening and closing the upper space in an opening direction, A winning device comprising a second driving means for opening and closing a stopper member which is provided to open and close another passage, which is turned on when a pachinko ball enters the specific winning opening and drives the first driving means. A first driving means drive control circuit for maintaining a state in which the winning probability of the winning device is increased within a predetermined time period, the first driving means drive control circuit is in an on state, and a pachinko ball has entered the specific winning opening. When said A continuation control circuit for controlling the first drive means drive control circuit so as to restart the increase state of the winning probability of the apparatus from the beginning; the continuation control circuit turns on when the first drive means drive control circuit is in the on state; A pachinko machine including a second drive means drive control circuit for driving the drive means.

(Operation) With this configuration, the stopper member operates to open and close the other ball passage during the winning probability increase state, and the pachinko balls that enter the other ball passage at the time of closing the ball passage are stored here. When the other ball passage is full, the pachinko ball that has entered the upper space cannot enter the other ball passage, and thus enters the one ball passage. In other words, as the number of winning balls increases, the certainty for restarting the winning probability increasing state increases.

Then, when there is a prize in the predetermined prize hole 46, the latch circuit 12
When 7 is latched, the gate of the AND circuit is opened and the timer signal is input to the solenoid output circuit 140, so that the solenoids 95 and 103 are repeatedly driven like the solenoids 56 and 57 ( However, the repeating cycle may be the same or different in some cases.). Therefore, the closing time of the other ball passages 41, 42 is shortened.

On the other hand, after the predetermined winning hole 46 is won and the latch circuit 127 is latched, and the number of times the solenoids 56 and 57 are driven reaches eight times, the latch circuit 152 is also latched.
Since the gate of the AND circuit 153 is opened, when H is output from the switch circuit 135, the latch circuit 149 is latched and the motor 77 is stopped.

After that, when the solenoids 56 and 57 are driven 18 times or the number of winning balls reaches 10, the latch circuit 149 is reset, so that the motor 77 is started and the latch circuit 127 is also reset. The gate of the AND circuit 154 is closed and the driving of the solenoids 95 and 103 is stopped.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, in short, according to the present invention, since the number of stored balls in the other ball passages is also limited, as the number of ball passing balls increases, one ball continuing to the lower space with the specific winning opening Since the certainty of pachinko balls entering the passage will increase, a unique game change will be obtained in which the probability of restarting the winning probability increased state increases as the number of stored balls that become winning balls increases, and the player's willingness to play Can be increased.

Claims (2)

[Claims] 1. A partition plate divides the space into an upper space and a lower space, and a specific winning opening is provided in the lower space,
A winning space provided with one ball passage opening to the upper space and the lower space and another ball passage opening to the upper space and another winning opening different from the specific winning opening; A winning device including first driving means for moving an opening / closing member provided to open / close the space in an opening direction and second driving means for opening / closing a stopper member provided to open / close the other passage, A first driving means drive control circuit which is turned on when a pachinko ball enters the specific winning opening and drives the first driving means to maintain a state in which the winning probability of the winning device increases for a predetermined time; 1 When the drive means drive control circuit is in the on state and a pachinko ball enters the specific winning opening, the first drive means drive control circuit is arranged to restart the winning probability increasing state of the winning device from the beginning. Control continuation Control circuit, said first driving means drive the control circuit is turned on when the on-state, the pachinko machine has a second drive means drive the control circuit, for driving the second drive means. 2. The upper space side opening of the one ball passage is constituted by a notch formed in a side portion of a rotating member rotatable in the circumferential direction of the one ball passage. The pachinko machine according to claim 1, characterized in that.
