Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pachinko machine.

(Prior Art) A pachinko machine is provided with a winning device that guides a pachinko ball to a winning area including a predetermined winning opening, and moves the guiding member in a direction to pick up the pachinko ball to increase a winning probability. .

And, this kind of pachinko machine conventionally starts to maintain the winning probability increase state of the winning device within a predetermined time when the pachinko ball wins the predetermined winning opening, and the winning probability increases state of the winning device during the winning probability increase state. When a pachinko ball wins a predetermined winning opening, the winning probability increase state is started again from the beginning. This suppresses gambling,
Moreover, the player's willingness to play is not diminished.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, even such a so-called accessory operation is not sufficient in the following points.

That is, the partial structure and shape in the winning area may differ slightly depending on the machine difference, and some of them may be relatively easy to enter a predetermined winning opening and some may be difficult to enter. was there. In the former case, generally, in this kind of pachinko machine, the number of times that the winning probability of the prize winning device is continuously increased is limited, so that the predetermined winning immediately after the winning device is in the winning probability increasing condition. Cases of winning in the mouth continue, and the accessory operation ends without giving a sufficient profit to the player. Further, in the latter case, there is a high possibility that the game ends without being able to set the winning probability increase state. Therefore, in any case, it is possible to cause dissatisfaction in the game difference and to reduce the game motivation.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is less susceptible to machine differences as much as possible,
An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko machine capable of easily equalizing the game operation of each game table.

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

That is, a starting winning opening provided on a game board and a drive means for moving a guide member for guiding a pachinko ball to a winning area including a predetermined winning opening from a closed state where the pachinko ball is not normally picked up to an open state where the pachinko ball is picked up When the pachinko ball enters the predetermined winning opening, the winning information and the hit information for setting the winning conditions are displayed one by one in sequence during normal operation. A winning condition setting device for selectively displaying any of the above, detecting the stop display information, and restarting the variable display based on the end of the detection, and the first opening predetermined at the time of winning the start winning opening In order to maintain the winning probability increase state for a second opening time, which is set when the winning information is detected by the winning condition setting device and the winning information is detected by the time, and is set for a second opening time longer than the first opening time. When the winning probability increasing circuit for activating the drive means and the winning probability increasing circuit are set, when the winning condition setting device detects the hit information, the winning probability increasing state is restarted from the beginning. It is a pachinko machine equipped with a winning probability increasing state control circuit for controlling the probability increasing circuit.

(Operation of the invention) Since the invention of the present application is configured as described above, the winning information and the deviation information are variably displayed by the winning condition setting device before the game is started at the normal time, and in the first stage of the game, the winning prize is started. The winning probability increasing circuit activates the drive means for the first opening time, so that the guide member in the closed state where the pachinko ball is not picked up is moved to the open state where the pachinko ball is picked up for the first opening time.

Therefore, the winning device shifts from a state in which the pachinko ball is not guided to the winning area by the guide member to a state in which the pachinko ball is easily guided to the winning area, and the winning probability increase state is formed for the first opening time, during which the pachinko ball is winning. It becomes easier to win the area.

In the next second step, the presence or absence of a winning ball in the winning area is recognized during the open state of the first step, and if there is a winning ball,
In the third stage, it is recognized whether or not a pachinko ball enters the predetermined winning port, and when the pachinko ball enters the predetermined winning port, the winning condition setting device in the variably display state is set to one of the four stages. At the same time that the information is stopped and displayed, it is determined whether or not the hit information is stopped and displayed.

At this point, the player recognizes the hit information or the deviation information which is stopped and displayed on the winning condition setting device, and at the same time, the winning condition setting device also judges that, and then in the fifth stage, the above-mentioned fourth When the winning information is determined by the winning condition setting device in the stage, the winning probability increasing circuit sets the winning probability increasing state for the second opening time.

On the other hand, if the winning probability increase circuit determines the out-of-range information,
The winning probability increase circuit does not set the winning probability increase state,
As in the first stage, the player is in a waiting state for winning at the starting winning opening.

In the next sixth stage, the winning probability increasing circuit restarts the variable display based on the end of the detection of the type of the stop display information, and the type of the stop display information depends on the player of the information stop displayed in the fourth stage. Since it is detected at the same time as recognition, the variable display is resumed immediately after recognizing the type of information that is stopped and displayed, and the time required for stop and display of information can be extended regardless of whether the winning probability increase state is set or not. It can be shortened, and you can immediately shift from the current game to the game for the next set.

Next, the operation will be described.

First, in normal times, that is, both the first and second starting winning openings 13,14,
When there is no winning in any of the fourteen, the latch circuits 96 and 99 are neither latched nor the latch circuit 106 is latched, so that H is input to the timer control circuit 116. The output of 110 is prohibited, and the solenoid 59, LED39,39, ... for demonstration, lamps 22,24
Are not driven.

On the other hand, since the latch circuit 104 is also not latched, the output signal from its output terminal is H, and the motor 69 is driven to rotate, so that the leaf-type display 40 displays the pattern variably.

Next, for example, when there is a winning in the first starting winning opening 13, the first starting rat circuit 96 is latched, so one input to the AND circuit 114 becomes L, so L is input to the timer control circuit 116. Then, the timer circuit 110 starts output and the solenoid 5
9 is excited to open the guide vanes 34, 34, and LEDs 39, 39,
… Lamps 22 and 24 light up. Then, after the timer circuit 119 starts outputting and the timer signal becomes H after a lapse of a predetermined time, the latch circuit 96 is reset, the output of the AND circuit 114 becomes H, and the output of the timer circuit 110 is prohibited.

As a result, the solenoid device 53 is excited for the first opening time, the guide vanes 34 in the closed state are moved to the open state, and the center accessory 10 is in the winning probability increasing state for the first opening time. Depending on the two states of the closed state, a game change is given by forming a new winning opening for the first opening time.

In the next second step, the opening portion is opened during the open state of the first step.
If there is a winning ball for 25, and if there is a winning ball,
In the third stage, whether or not a pachinko ball enters the predetermined winning opening 26 is recognized.

During this period, if there is no winning in the predetermined winning hole 26, nothing happens.

On the other hand, when there is a winning in the predetermined winning hole 26, the latch circuit 10
2 is latched, and subsequently, the latch circuit 104 is latched by the detection signal of the stop timing detection sensor 91, so that the output signal L from the output terminal of the latch circuit 104 causes the motor 69 to stop. 40 patterns stop.
At the same time, the hit detection sensor 50 determines that the pattern is out of contact. At this point, the player determines that the leaf-type display 40
And the hit information or the deviation information stopped and displayed on the pattern detector 48 is recognized. Next, in the fifth step, the latch circuit 104 is reset by the self-resetting circuit 124 or the output signal from its output terminal becomes H,
After the motor 69 is once stopped, the driving is immediately started as the sixth step.

Since the type of the stop display information is detected at the same time when the player recognizes the information displayed in the stop state in the fourth step, the variable display is restarted immediately after the type of the stop displayed information is recognized. Become so. In this way, variable display is resumed immediately from the stopped display state of information,
Regardless of whether the winning probability increase state is set or not, the time required for the stop display of information can be shortened as much as possible, and the current game can be immediately switched to the game for the next set.

When the determination of the pattern is wrong, the latch circuit 106 is not latched, the output signal of the AND circuit 114 is H, the output of the timer circuit 110 is prohibited, and nothing happens. It will be in a state of waiting for winning at the starting winning opening 13,14.

On the other hand, if the judgment of the picture is successful in the fifth step, the latch circuit 106 is latched, and the output signal of the AND circuit 114 becomes L.
Therefore, the timer circuit 110 starts outputting, the solenoid 59 is excited, the guide vanes 34, 34 are opened, and the LEDs 39, 39,
... and the lamps 22 and 24 are turned on. Further, since the count value of the continuation counter circuit 128 becomes "1", the LED36-
When 1 is turned on, the gate to the 10 count circuit 109 is opened, and the count value is displayed by the 10 count display 21. Further, during this time, when there is a winning in the predetermined winning port 26, the motor 69 is stopped for a while and the design is determined. If there is no hit in this judgment, 10 count or solenoid 59 is 18
When the timer signal is excited to be H, the latch circuit 106
Is reset and the output signal of the AND circuit 114 becomes H, and the timer circuit 110 stops the output and ends the winning combination.

If the pattern is judged to be successful, the AND circuit 121
The output signal of AND circuit 114 causes the output signal of H
Then, the timer circuit 110 enters the initial state and restarts the output from the beginning. Also, since the continuous frequency counter circuit 128 counts up by 1 with the output signal of the AND circuit 121, L
In addition to ED36-1, LED36-2 also lights up.

In this way, when the winning combination continues and this is the eighth time, the eight count signal of the continuation number counter circuit 128 becomes H, and the input from the OR circuit 131 to the AND circuit 119 becomes L, so that the predetermined prize is won. Even if there is a winning in the mouth 26, the motor 69 is not controlled to stop, so that all the winning combinations are completed by 10 counts or by exciting the solenoid 59 18 times. In this embodiment, a leaf type display is used to display information, but this is, for example, a well-known LED display, a drum type in which various patterns are drawn on the outer surface of the drum, or the like. It may be displayed. Furthermore, although three winning holes 26, 27, 27 are formed in the center accessory 10, this may be one place. In this case, only one switch for detecting a pachinko ball corresponding to the winning opening may be attached so as to be used for both 10 counting and continuation.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from what has been described above, according to the present invention, the winning probability of a predetermined winning port does not greatly affect the duration of the accessory operation, so that each gaming table has There is an effect that the game operation can be easily made uniform.

And since the winning probability to the predetermined winning port can be increased, the gaming operation of each gaming machine can be easily made uniform from this point as well.

Further, for the same reason, each gaming machine can be put into a state where the game play can be fully enjoyed, so that the player's willingness to play can be increased.

In addition, since variable display is restarted immediately from the stopped display state of information, regardless of whether the winning probability increase state is set,
The time required for the stop display of information can be short-circuited as much as possible, and the current game can be immediately switched to the game for the next set.

With this, the stop display of the hit information based on the next prize at the predetermined winning opening, in other words, the expectation for the update of the new set or the current set of the winning probability increasing state, immediately to the player immediately after the information stop display state Let me hold you.

Further, the present invention reduces the player's willingness to play by making the player have an expectation for the stop display of the hit information over the above-described multiple stages from before the winning probability increasing state is set to when the winning probability increasing state is set and when the winning probability increasing state is set. Deter.
