Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention is based on the fact that a ball is inserted into a specific winning opening of a special gaming device provided in a game section, and a variable winning device is disadvantageous to a player. The present invention relates to a so-called third type of pachinko machine that creates a special game state waiting to be converted from a state to a second state that is advantageous to the player.

<Prior art> A special game device, a variable winning device, and a special winning opening are arranged in the game section, and a special winning opening and a general winning opening are arranged side by side in the special playing device, and a ball is the specific winning opening. By entering, a special game state is awaited for converting the variable winning device from a first state, which is disadvantageous to the player, to a second state, which is advantageous to the player, and during this special game, A pachinko machine with a game content in which a variable winning device is repeatedly converted into a second state under a predetermined condition on condition that a ball wins a defined starting opening is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 115070, etc., it is widely known as a so-called type 3 pachinko machine.

When a special game state occurs in such a third-class pachinko machine, the player adjusts the firing state of the hit ball so that the ball is won at the starting opening, and the hit ball is won at the starting opening. When the variable winning device is converted to the second state, the player adjusts the firing state of the hit ball so as to win the ball to the variable winning device, so that the game is changed to the game even after the special game state is generated. And the game profit (a large amount of prize balls for winning balls) that the player obtains,
This kind of pachinko machine can sufficiently enhance the entertainment interest of the player. It should be noted that the special game device of such a third-class pachinko machine may have any structure as long as the ball that reaches the inside of the game section is introduced, and has a structure that converts the ball into a state of accepting the ball and a state of not accepting the ball like the variable winning device. There are many variations, such as a structure in which a winning ball to another specific winning port is guided into the special game device.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, in the conventional third-class pachinko machine, the condition for causing the special game state is set to "award to a specific winning opening in the special game device". Therefore, if the winning probability to the specific winning opening in the special gaming device is set to be relatively high, the special gaming state will be frequently created, and the loss on the side of the amusement store will be too large, which will cause a loss in management. An imbalance will occur. On the contrary, if the winning probability of the specific winning opening in the special gaming device is set to be relatively low, the occurrence of the special gaming state becomes extremely rare, and the special gaming state expected by the player does not occur. It is predicted that players will avoid games on such pachinko machines, and in addition to the fact that players who play games on such pachinko machines will suffer large losses, the operating rate of pachinko machines that players avoid As a matter of course, the operating balance of the amusement store as a whole may also decline because it declines.

From this, it is desirable that the probability of winning the specific winning opening of the special gaming device is an appropriate value for both the game store and the player, but the special gaming device in the conventional type 3 pachinko machine is It is merely a physical structure that adjusts the winning probabilities of the specific winning openings and the general winning openings, and does not always meet the above-mentioned requirements. That is, the conventional special game device, by forming a protruding obstacle on the flow path to the specific winning opening, or increasing the number of general winning openings over the specific winning openings, etc. The winning probability to the general winning opening is merely set to be high, and the winning probability to the specific winning opening is determined by the structure of the special gaming device itself.

As described above, in the so-called third type of pachinko machine, since it is virtually impossible to change the setting of the winning probability to the specific winning opening in the special game device, the winning rate or the like in each pachinko machine is slightly changed. In pachinko parlors, where it is customary to operate as a business, adjust the probability that a special gaming state will occur by adjusting the nails to slightly increase or decrease the winning rate to the special gaming device. However, it is necessary to adjust the nails exactly as intended because it requires highly skilled and sophisticated techniques for adjusting nails, and subtle adjustment errors or the occurrence of unique winning slumps greatly affect the winning rate. Since it is not always possible, it is not easy to always maintain a proper profit balance between the game store and the player.

For this reason, for example, in the case of a third-class pachinko machine with a very low occurrence rate of a special gaming state due to improper nail adjustment, as described above, play with such a pachinko machine. Since the player does not get the original interest of the game, and such pachinko machines have a poor customer base, the operating rate of the game machine in the game store also decreases, resulting in both the player and the game store. Bring disadvantages. Of course,
If the occurrence rate of the special game state is too high, the disadvantage of the game store becomes large and the business becomes unsuccessful.

Further, in the special game device used for the conventional type 3 pachinko machine, there is also a point that it cannot be said that the expectation that the ball wins the specific winning opening in the special game device is effectively increased. . That is, in the conventional special gaming device, since the winning rate to the specific winning opening is fixed by the physical structure, the special gaming state only occurs due to only stochastic randomness. , Prize winning ball sorting operation in the special gaming device (operation state of the game process in which the ball is sorted into either a specific winning port or a general winning port in the special gaming device)
Therefore, it cannot be said that the player is effectively given the expectation that the interest in the game can be sufficiently enhanced.

Therefore, the present invention can change the occurrence rate of the special game state in the special game device without depending only on the nail adjustment, and can provide the player with a special interest in the game by the game performed using the special game device. So-called third that can sufficiently increase
It is intended to provide a seed pachinko machine.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a game board (1) having a game section (3) and a game board provided at the game section, which is disadvantageous to the player. A variable winning device (6) that can be converted into one state and a second state that is advantageous to the player, and a special winning opening (5) that is provided in the game section and allows a ball to win.
Special winning ball detecting means (for example, special detectors 43, 43) for detecting a ball that has won the special winning opening, and a special game waiting for the variable winning device to convert from the first state to the second state. With the special game state activating means for activating the state and the special game state being activated, the variable winning device is preset based on the detection signal from the special winning ball detecting means. In a pachinko machine provided with a drive control means (for example, an electric control device 46) for converting into a second state based on the specified regulations, the special game state starting means is provided in a special winning area (10). Specific prize hole (11) and general prize hole (12),
Inflow probability conversion means (for example, the rotating body 23) capable of converting into a first mode in which the probability of the sphere flowing into the specific winning opening is low and a second mode in which the probability of the sphere flowing into the specific winning opening is high, and the inflow probability A special game device (4) having a drive device (for example, a pair of permanent magnets 27a, 27b and electromagnets 29a, 29b) for converting the conversion device from the first mode to the second mode, and a special winning opening of the special game device. Specific winning ball detection means (for example, specific detector 22) that outputs a specific winning ball detection signal (for example, a special game right generation signal) that is a condition for generating a special gaming state based on detecting the inflowing ball. ) And.

<Operation> By providing the inflow probability conversion unit and the drive unit for converting the inflow probability conversion unit from the first mode to the second mode in the special game device of the special game state origination unit, the drive unit converts the inflow probability. When the means is converted to the second mode, the probability of inflow into the specific winning opening in the special gaming device increases.

In addition, since the specific winning opening is provided with a specific winning ball detecting means that is a condition for causing the special gaming state, the special gaming state is increased by increasing the probability of winning the specific winning opening in the special gaming device. The probability of being born also increases.

<Examples> The present invention will be described below based on Examples of the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the game board 1 of the pachinko machine according to the present invention has a special game device 4 in the center of a game part 3 surrounded by guide rails 2, and special prizes on the left and right sides of the special game device 4. A variable winning device 6 is provided below the special game device 4, which can convert the mouths 5, 5 into a first state that is disadvantageous to the player and a second state that is advantageous to the player.

It should be noted that this pachinko machine causes a special game state in which the variable winning device 4 is waiting for conversion from the first state to the second state, and on the condition that this special game state is generated. , A so-called third type of pachinko machine that has a game content that converts the variable winning device 6 into a second state based on preset occurrence based on a ball winning the special winning opening 5, 5. Belong to.

As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the special game device 4 is provided with a front open frame-shaped ball inflow blocking member 8 on the surface of a mounting substrate 7 attached to the surface of the game board 1, and the ball inflow blocking member. A special game ball inlet 9 is opened upward at the top of 8, and a special prize hole 11 is opened in the center of the special prize area 10 surrounded by the ball inflow prevention member 8, and a general prize hole 12 is opened at the bottom. In front of the specific winning opening 11, the ball is received and the specific winning opening is received.
A ball guide member 13 for guiding 11 is provided, and a flow path changing member 14 is provided between the ball guide member 13 and the special game ball inlet 9.
A light source 15 such as a lamp and a lens 16 are provided above the general winning opening 12.
A first display 1 for displaying the state of the ball guide member 13
7, 2nd display 18, 3rd display 19, 4th display 20, 5th
The display 21 is installed side by side, and the specific winning opening 11 is provided on the back side of the mounting board 7.
A specific detector 22 for outputting a special game right generation signal as a specific winning ball detection signal which is a condition for detecting the entered ball and generating a special game state is provided.

As shown in FIG. 4, the ball guiding member 13 has a narrow first ball receiving portion 24 and a wide second ball receiving portion 25 on the outer peripheral portion of the rotating body 23.
In addition to being provided with the phase changed by 0 degrees, a fitting concave portion 26 and a pair of permanent magnets 27a and 27b are provided on the back surface, and the rotating body 23 is rotatably supported by a spindle 28 projecting on the surface of the mounting substrate 7. A pair of electromagnets 29a, 29b are provided as electromagnetic drive sources on the back side of the mounting substrate 7, and the permanent magnets 27a, 27b and the electromagnets 29a, 2b of the rotating body 23 are provided.
The magnetic action of 9b changes the stop position of the rotating body 23 to change the receiving state of the sphere.

The permanent magnets 27a and 27b provided on the rotating body 23 are mounted such that the magnetic poles facing the mounting substrate 7 are different between the left and right. Further, the electromagnets 29a and 29b are configured so that different magnetic poles are generated on the left and right when energized.

In FIG. 4, one permanent magnet protruding from the rotating body 23
When the magnetic pole of 27a is the S pole and the magnetic pole of the other permanent magnet 27b is the N pole, and one electromagnet 29a facing the mounting substrate 7 is energized so that the S pole is generated and the other electromagnet 29b is the N pole, one permanent magnet is generated. The magnet 27a is connected to the other electromagnet 29b and the other permanent magnet 27b
Is attracted by one of the electromagnets 29a to rotate the rotating body 23, and the rotating body 23 is stopped with the narrow first ball receiving portion 24 positioned above and the wide second ball receiving portion 25 positioned below. To do.

In this way, if the narrow first ball receiving portion 24 is stopped upward, the range for receiving the ball dropped from the special game ball inlet 9 becomes narrower, and the probability that the ball will flow into the specific winning opening 11 will increase. It becomes the low first mode. When the rotating body 23 stops, both electromagnets
The rotating body 23 is attracted to the mounting board 7 side by the attraction force of the permanent magnets 29a, 29b and the permanent magnets 27a, 27b, and the fitting convex portion 30 formed on the surface of the mounting board 7 enters the fitting concave portion 26 of the rotating body 23. Because they fit together
The rotating body 23 becomes stable.

On the other hand, when the direction of the current flowing through the electromagnets 29a and 29b is reversed, an N pole is generated in one electromagnet 29a and an S pole is generated in the other electromagnet 29b.
23 is pushed out, the fitting concave portion 26 is disengaged from the fitting convex portion 30, and the rotating body 23 is rotated by the attraction force of different magnetic poles, and the wide second ball receiving portion 25 is moved upward and the narrow first ball is placed. This is the second mode in which the receiving portion 24 is stopped in a state of being positioned downward and the probability that a ball will flow into the specific winning opening 11 is high.

As described above, the special game device 4 according to the present invention is provided with the special winning opening 11 and the general winning opening provided in the special winning area 10.
12, and a rotating body 23 as an inflow probability conversion means capable of converting into a first mode in which the probability of a sphere flowing into the specific winning opening 11 is low and a second mode in which a probability of the sphere flowing into the specific winning opening is high. It has a pair of permanent magnets 27a, 27b and electromagnets 29a, 29b as driving means for converting the rotating body 23 from the first mode to the second mode,
Further, the specific detector 22 as the specific winning ball detecting means detects the ball that has flowed into the specific winning opening 11 of the special gaming device 4, and based on the detection of the ball, a specific condition for causing a special gaming state. It outputs a special game right generation signal which is a winning ball detection signal.

Therefore, the special gaming device 4 and the specific detector 22 are
It plays a role as a special game state activating means for activating a special game state which is a game content peculiar to a so-called third type of pachinko machine. It should be noted that this special game state activating means is separately provided with a game control function for controlling the start and end of the special game state, and this game control function is provided by various electric game devices provided in the pachinko machine. It is included in an electric control device (which will be described later in detail) that controls the entire operation.

The flow path changing member 14 is, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG.
A rotary plate 32 having three pins 31 ... Standing upright is faced to the front surface of the mounting board 7, and a motor 33 with a reducer provided on the back side of the mounting board 7.
The output shaft of is connected to the rotating plate 32. Therefore,
When the rotating plate 32 is rotated by driving the motor 33 with a reducer,
The positions of the pins 31 change, and the balls falling from the special game ball inflow port 9 hit the pins 31 and change the direction of flow. Therefore, it affects the probability that the ball that has flowed down will rest on the ball guide member 13, that is, the probability that the ball will enter the specific winning opening 11 via the ball guide member 13.

In the special game device 4 having the above structure, when a sphere enters the special game ball inlet 9, the sphere is a flow path changing member.
The flow path was changed by hitting one of the pins 31 of 14 and the ball on the ball guide member 13 was lucky to enter the specific winning opening 11 and acted on the specific detector 22 arranged on the back side of the mounting substrate 7. It is later discharged as a prize ball. On the other hand, the ball that is hit by the pin 31 and does not rest on the ball guide member 13 falls to the bottom of the ball inflow prevention member 8, enters the general winning opening 12, and becomes a winning ball.

As shown in FIG. 5, the variable winning device 6 has a horizontally elongated winning opening 33 formed in a base plate 34 attached to the game board 1, and a door plate 36 is pivotally attached to the winning opening 35 by a shaft. The transmission member 38 is engaged with the passive member 37 extending from the door plate 36 from above, and the operating portion 40 of the drive source 39 such as a solenoid is brought into contact with the upper surface of the transmission member 38. Therefore, when the drive source 39 is demagnetized, the variable winning device 6
The actuating portion 40 presses the transmission member 38 downward by the urging force of the spring 41, the tip of the transmission member 38 presses the tip portion of the passive member 37 to raise the door plate 36, and the door plate 36 makes a winning opening.
Close 35 to maintain the first condition of not accepting the ball.

Then, when the drive source 39 is excited, the actuating portion 40 rises, so that the door plate 36 is rotated forward by the urging force of the weight 42, and the stopper 43 is moved to the surface of the base plate 34 as shown by the solid line in FIG. It comes into contact with and stops slightly inclined. When the door plate 36 rotates in this way, the winning opening 35 is opened, and the falling ball is received by the door plate 36, and is converted into the second state in which the winning opening 35 is easily won. The sphere winning from the winning opening 35 passes through the flow path provided on the back side of the base plate 34 and the counting detector 44.
After operating, the game flows out to the back side of the game board 1 and becomes a winning ball.

The special winning opening 5 for satisfying the condition for converting the variable winning device 6 from the first state to the second state may be a winning device having any structure as long as it has a function of detecting a received ball.
The one shown in FIG. 1 is configured integrally with a lamp display, has a winning opening that opens upward, and a special detector 45 as a specific winning ball detecting means in a flow path communicating with the winning opening.
Is provided.

The specific detector 22 of the special gaming device 4, the counting detector 44 of the variable winning device 6, the drive source, the special detector 45 of the special winning opening 5 and the like are electrically arranged on the back side of the game board 1. It is electrically connected to the control device 46.

The game in the pachinko machine configured as described above will be described. When the player operates the firing operation handle to launch a ball, the ball enters the upper part of the game section 3 through the guide rail 2 and hits an obstacle nail. Flow down while changing the flow direction.

Immediately after opening the store, in the first control state in which the special game state does not occur, the first indicator 17 of the special game apparatus 4 lights up and the ball guide member 13 has a low probability that the ball will flow into the specific winning opening 11. It is visually displayed to the player that it is one mode. In the first control state, the door plate 36 of the variable winning device 6 stands up and maintains the first state in which the ball is not received.

When the ball flowing down in the game section 3 is lucky and enters the special winning area 10 from the special game apparatus 4 special game ball inlet 9, this ball hits the flow path changing member 14 to change the flow path and flow down. However, the lucky ones are placed on the narrow first ball receiving portion 24 of the rotating body 23, and the other ones which are not received by the ball guiding member 13 fall to the bottom portion of the ball inflow preventing member 8 and the general winning opening. Enter 12.

Then, even if the ball enters the general winning opening 12, the game state does not change, but when the ball is placed on the first ball receiving portion 24 of the rotating body 23 and enters the specific winning opening 11, the detection of this ball is made. A signal from the detector 22 causes the electric control device 46 to cause a special game state,
Further, by rotating the rotating body 23 from the first mode to the second mode by the action of the electromagnet 29, turning off the first display 17 and turning on the second display 18, the rotating body 23 is changed to the second mode. The conversion is visually displayed to the player.

In this way, based on the detection output from the specific detector 22 that is output when the ball enters the specific winning opening 11, the rotating body 23 is set to the first position.
By converting from the mode to the second mode, it is possible to perform conversion so as to increase the ease with which the ball enters the specific winning opening 11, that is, the probability that a special game state will occur.

In addition, in the present embodiment, even if the ball enters the specific winning opening 11 while the second indicator 18 is lit, the rotating body 23 is set to the second position.
The aspect is maintained. Similarly, the third display 1
9. While the fourth indicator 20 is lit, the rotating body 23 maintains the second mode even if a ball enters the specific winning opening 11, and the fifth indicator is displayed.
When the ball enters the specific winning opening 11 while 21 is lit, the rotating body 23 is returned from the second mode to the first mode. In this way, when the special game state is generated when the rotating body 23 is in the first mode, the rotating body 23 maintains the second mode until four special game states are generated thereafter, so the total is It is possible to generate the special game state five times in a relatively short time.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine according to the present invention, the rotating body 23 as the inflow probability converting means and the rotating body 23 from the first aspect to the second aspect in the special game device 4 of the special game state starting means. A pair of permanent magnets 27a, 27b as driving means for conversion
Along with the electromagnets 29a, 29b, the specific winning opening 11 is provided with a specific detector 22 as a specific winning ball detecting means for outputting a specific winning ball detection signal which is a condition for causing a special gaming state. Therefore, when the rotating body 23 is converted into the second mode by appropriately adjusting the polarities of the permanent magnets 27a, 27b and the electromagnets 29a, 29b, the special game device 4
It is possible to increase the probability of inflow into the specific winning opening 11 in the inside, and thus increase the probability that a special game state is caused in the pachinko machine.

Therefore, the electrical control device 46 appropriately sets the conditions for converting the polarities of the electromagnets 29a, 29b, thereby appropriately setting the conditions for converting the rotating body 23 into the first mode or the second mode, and the special game state. As a result, it is possible to adjust the probability to an appropriate value, so pachinko parlors can easily set an appropriate payout rate without the need for advanced nail adjustments that take a long time as in the past. can do. In addition, since the player can acquire the right of the special game within an appropriate probability range, he / she can play a healthy pachinko game with a lot of interest.

The condition for converting the rotating body 23 into the first mode or the second mode is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the special game state is generated based on the ball entering the specific winning opening 11. In addition, the rotating body 23 may be set to alternately convert the first state and the second state. For example, in an initial state such as when a pachinko parlor starts business, the rotating body 23, which is the inflow probability conversion means of the special game apparatus 4, is set to the first mode, and the electromagnet is detected based on the detection output from the specific detector 22. 29a, 29
If the rotating body 23 is sequentially converted into different modes by reversing the magnetic pole direction of b, once the special game state occurs, the next special game state occurs within a relatively short time. Will be born.

The special game state in the embodiment is converted from the first control state to the second control state on condition that the specific detector 22 of the specific winning opening 11 detects a sphere, and the special detector 45 in the second control state.
On the condition that a ball is detected, the variable winning device 6 converts the first state to the second state, which is the third control state.
Until 10 seconds elapse after converting to the third state, or 10 balls are won, the stop condition is satisfied, and until this stop condition is substantially satisfied 8 times, That is, if 10 seconds elapse after the variable winning device 6 is opened, or until 10 balls are won during that period, which is one cycle, the game can be repeated substantially up to 8 cycles.

When a ball enters the special winning opening 5,5, the cycle is updated each time, but when the ball entering the special gaming device 4 enters the specific winning opening 11, the number of remaining cycles is taken into consideration. Instead, the special game state is set to end at that point. Further, in the present embodiment, when eight balls are won in the special winning opening 5, the special game is finished at that time regardless of the number of times the cycle is updated. However, when the number of remaining cycles remains, the game can be played only once in the third control state apart from the cycle update.

Further, in the present embodiment, in order to make the player recognize the conversion of the control state, special game lamp indicators 47, 47 provided in the special winning area 10 of the special game device 4 when converted to the second control state. Blinks or lights up and the lamp indicator 48 arranged on the right side of the upper end of the game board 1 blinks or lights up.
When converted to a control state, a lamp indicator 49 arranged on the upper left side of the game board 1, a lamp indicator 50 integrally provided with the windmill in the game section 3, and a lamp integrally provided with the special winning opening 5 Indicator 51, lamp indicator 52 provided integrally with tulip type prize, lamp indicator 5 arranged on the left and right of the game section 3
Blinks or lights 3

In the second state where the special game lamp indicator 47 is blinking or lit, the ball is lucky to enter the special winning opening 5 and the special detector 45 detects the ball and sends a signal to the electric control device 46. Then, the electric control device 46 excites the drive source 39, and changes the variable winning device 6 from the first state in which the ball does not enter to the second state in which the ball easily enters.

When the variable winning device 6 is opened and converted to the third control state of the first cycle, the lamp indicator 4 arranged at the upper end of the game board 1
8,49, Lamp indicator integrated with the windmill in the game section 3
50, a lamp indicator 51 integrally provided with the special winning opening 5, a lamp indicator 52 integrally provided with a tulip type prize device,
The left and right lamp indicators 53 of the game section 3 emit light to visually display to the player that the game has been converted to the third control state.

In the third control state, as described above, when a ball enters the special winning opening 11, the special game ends at that time, and even if the ball enters the special winning opening 5 and is updated, it is a loss. Be careful not to let the ball enter the special winning area 10 or the special winning opening 5 of the special gaming device 4, and the variable winning device 6 as much as possible.
The firing operation is performed while adjusting the flight distance to enter.

When the balls are launched, most of them flow down onto the door plate 36 of the variable winning device 6, and these balls pass through the winning opening 35 and the base plate 34.
After activating the counting detector 44 through the flow path of, the game board 1
It leaks out to the back and becomes a prize ball. When the counting detector 44 detects a sphere, it sends a count signal to the electrical controller 46. Then, when 10 seconds elapse after the electric control device 46 counts 10 winning balls or the third control state is changed, the electric control device 46 demagnetizes the drive source. Then, the first cycle is ended and the state returns to the second control state.

Then, when the ball enters the special winning opening 5 in the returned second control state and the special detector 45 sends a signal to the electrical control device 46, the electrical control device 46 converts the variable winning device 6 into the second state again. Then, it is updated in the second cycle.

In this way, when the ball enters the special winning opening 11 of the special gaming device 4 and the special game state is started, the cycle is updated every time the ball enters the special winning opening 5, and the cycle is updated up to 8 cycles. However, if a ball enters the specific winning opening 11 or eight balls enter the special winning opening 5, the special game state is terminated at that point regardless of the number of times the cycle is updated,
Return to control state.

In this embodiment, the number of cycle updates is displayed on the first display means 54 provided on the mounting board 7 of the special game device 4, and the second display means 55 is displayed.
The number of winning balls to the special winning opening 5 is visually displayed on the digital type third display means 56 provided in the upper left part of the game board 1, respectively. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the first display means 54 and the second display means 55 are integrally configured by mounting light emitting diodes that emit different colors, and when a ball enters the special winning opening 5. Each time, one red light emitting diode emits light to visually display the number of winning balls, and when the cycle is updated, the above red light emitting diode changes color to green.

In the returned first control state, the rotating body 23 of the special game device 4 maintains the second mode, so when the ball enters the special winning area 10 from the special game ball inlet 9, the ball flows. Even if it is changed in the downward direction by the pin 31 of the path changing member 14, it enters the specific winning port 11 with a higher probability than the above-mentioned state, and the special game state is regenerated. In this case, the second display 18 is turned off and the third display 19 is turned on by the signal from the electric control device 46.

In this way, when the first control state is converted to the second control state and the special game is started, the variable winning device 6 is changed to the second state on the condition that the ball enters the special winning opening 5 as described above. It becomes possible to convert to a third control state that converts to a state. Therefore, the player shoots the ball aiming at the left side or the right side of the game unit 3 in order to win the ball in the variable winning device 6.

Even if the ball enters the special winning area 10 of the special game device 4 during the special game or after the special game is finished, it may be hit by the pin 31 of the flow path changing member 14 and not be mounted on the rotating body 23. . In this case, this ball is the general winning opening 12 at the bottom of the special game area.
Enter and flow out to the back of the game board to become a prize ball. Therefore, although there is no change in the game state, the prize ball discharging device (not shown) provided on the back side of the game board operates to give a predetermined number of prize balls to the player.

Next, the electric control device 46 that operates the special game device 4 and the like as described above will be described. For convenience of explanation, H
A level signal is represented by “H” and an L level symbol is represented by “L”.

The circuit shown in FIG. 6 is part of the electrical controller 46,
While changing the mode of the rotating body 23, each display 17,18,1
It has the function of controlling 9,20,21. The signal sent when the power is turned on is used as the reset signal of the count divider 57, and the waveform shaping circuit 58 is provided on the input side of the count divider 57.
The specific detector 22 is connected via, and the first display 17 of the special game device 4 is connected to the Q ₀ output side of the count divider 57 by Q ₁
The second indicator 18 on the output side, the third indicator 19 on the Q ₂ output side,
The fourth indicator 20 to Q ₃ output side, is connected respectively to a fifth indicator 21 to Q ₄ output side. Then, the electromagnet 29a and electromagnet 29a are connected to the switching contacts of the relay circuit 59 connected to the Q ₀ output of the count divider 57.
Connect 29b.

Therefore, when the power is turned on when the store is opened, a reset signal is sent to the reset input of the count divider 57, the count divider 57 is initialized, and only the Q ₀ output is “H”.
This "H" lights the first indicator 17 and excites the coil 59 'of the relay circuit 59 to convert the switching contact into the state shown by the dotted line in FIG. In this state,
Since the S pole is generated in the electromagnet 29a and the N pole is generated in the electromagnet 29b,
The rotating body 23 of the ball guiding member 13 stops the first ball receiving portion 24 having a narrow width upward, and enters the first state in which it is difficult to receive the ball. That is, in this embodiment, at the beginning of opening the store, the first indicator 17 of the special gaming apparatus 4 is turned on to visually indicate to the player that the ball guide member 13 is in the first mode.

In this state, the ball is the special game ball inlet 9 of the special game device 4.
Enter the special winning area 10 from, this sphere is the flow path changing member 14
Fortunately, the special detector 22 detects the sphere when it is fortunately placed on the rotating body 23 and enters the special winning opening 11, and a special game right generation signal is sent to the main part of the electric control device 46 described later. This signal is sent to the count divider 57 as well as the special game is started. If the ball that entered the special winning area 10 does not enter the specific winning opening 11 but enters the general winning opening 12, no signal is sent from the specific detector 22, so there is no change in the gaming state. .

When the count divider 57 receives the signal from the specific detector 22, it converts the Q ₀ output to “L” and turns off the first display 17, and at the same time converts the Q ₁ output to “H” and outputs to the second display. Turn on 18. When the Q ₀ output of the count divider 57 is converted to "L", the coil 59 'of the relay circuit 59 is demagnetized and the switching contact is converted to the state shown by the solid line in FIG. When the switching contact of the relay circuit 59 is converted in this way, the electromagnet 29a, the electromagnet 2
The direction of the current supplied to 9b is reversed and the N pole is generated in the electromagnet 29a and the S pole is generated in the electromagnet 29b, and the rotating body 2 of the ball guide member 13 is generated.
Rotate 3 by 180 degrees to convert it into a second mode that is easier to receive a sphere. In addition, the player moves from the first mode in which the probability that a ball flows into the specific winning opening 11 by the rotating body 23 to the specific winning opening 11 by turning off the first indicator 17 and turning on the second indicator 18 It is recognized that the sphere has been converted into the second mode with a high probability of inflow.

The special game will be described later, but when the second indicator 18 lights up and the next ball enters the special prize area 10 of the specific-specific gaming device 4 when the rotating body 23 is in the second mode, this The sphere easily enters the specific winning opening 11 because the rotating body 23 is in the second mode. When the next ball enters the special winning opening 11, the Q ₁ output of the count divider 57 is converted to “L” by the signal from the specific detector 22 and the second display 18 is turned off, and at the same time, the Q ₂ output is changed to “ It is converted to "H" and the third display 19 is turned on. In this state, the Q ₀ output of the count divider 57 maintains “L”, so that the state of the rotating body 23 does not change and the second state is maintained. In this way, every time a ball enters the specific winning opening 11, the signal from the specific detector 22 causes the count divider 57 to be “H”.
Changes from Q ₀ to Q ₁ , Q ₂ , Q ₃ , Q _4, and the indicators that light up are from the 1st indicator 17 to the 2nd indicator 18 and the 3rd indicator 1
9, the fourth display 20, the fifth display 21 and so on.

Then, when the fifth indicator 21 is turned on and the rotator 23 is in the second mode, the Q ₄ output of the count divider 57 is converted to “L” by the signal from the specific detector 22 and the Q ₀ output is simultaneously performed. Is converted to “H”, the fifth indicator 21 is turned off and the first indicator 17 is turned on, and at the same time, the coil 5 of the relay circuit 59 is turned on.
9'is excited. Therefore, the rotating body 23 is the specific winning opening 11
The second mode in which the probability that the balls flow will be high returns to the first mode in which the probability that the balls will flow into the specific winning opening 11 is low.

In this way, the rotating body 23 of the special game device 4 is the first display 17
The first mode is maintained only while is lit, and the second mode is maintained while another indicator is lit, that is, while the ball is in the specific winning opening 11 and is performing a special game thereafter. To do. Therefore, if the first ball is won in the specific winning opening 11, a special game state is likely to occur up to four times thereafter, and the player can play the game in an extremely advantageous state.

The embodiment of the electric control device 46 shown in FIG.
The special game device 4, the special winning opening 5, the variable winning device 6 and the like are controlled based on the special game right generation signal output from 22, and the above special condition is provided on condition that the special game state is generated. It is provided with a function as drive control means for converting the variable winning a prize device 6 to the second state based on a preset rule based on a detection signal from the detector 43.

In this embodiment of the electrical control device 46, a specific detector
The output side of 22 is connected to the input side of the first D flip-flop 60, the inverted Q output side of the first D flip-flop 60 is connected to the D input side, and the Q output side is connected to the first sound effect generator 61 and the oscillator.
62 is connected to the other input side of the first AND gate 63 having one input, and the output side of the first AND gate 63 is the game board 1
, And the Q output of the first D flip-flop is connected to the special game lamp indicator 47 via the light source controller 64. Therefore, the inverted Q output is “H” when the first D flip-flop 60 is reset.
And this "H" is input to the D input.

When the ball enters the special winning opening 11 of the special game device 4 in this state, the specific detector 22 sends an "H" signal to the input side of the first D flip-flop 60. When the first D flip-flop 60 receives this "H", the same signal from the Q output side to the D input side,
That is, the "H" signal from the inverted Q is output. This output is
The first sound effect generator 61 is operated to generate a sound effect from the speaker 65, and the lamp indicator is provided via the first AND gate 63.
48 is lit in synchronization with the signal from the oscillator 62,
The light source controller 64 is activated to turn on the special game lamp indicator 47 of the special game apparatus 4 to inform the player that the special control state has been changed to the second control state. In addition, this first D flip-flop 60
The “H” output of is sent to one input side of the second AND gate 66, and enables the special detector 45 to detect the ball entering the special winning opening 5.

Therefore, when the sphere enters the special winning opening 5 in this state and the signal of the special detector 45 that detects this sphere is input to the other input side of the second AND gate 66 via the waveform shaping circuit 67,
The AND of the second AND gate 66 is taken, and the first counter 68
The count signal "H" is sent to the input side of.

The first counter 68 counts and stores the balls that have entered the special winning opening 5, and the stored contents are visually displayed via the first decoder 69 on the second display means 55 including a red light emitting diode. Further, one input side of the comparator 70 is connected to the Q _{0 to} Q ₃ outputs of the first counter 68, and the other input side of the comparator 70 is connected to the Q _{0 to} Q ₃ outputs of the second counter 71, The output side of the comparator 70 is connected to the third side via the first OR gate 72.
Connect to one input side of AND gate 73.

The output side of the third AND gate 73 is connected to the input side of the second D flip-flop 74, and the inverted Q output of the second D flip-flop 74 is used as one input and the output of the fourth AND gate 75 is used as the other input. There is. The inverted Q output of the second D flip-flop 74 is "H", and this "H" is the fourth
When supplied to one input side of the AND gate 75, “H” is supplied to the other input side of the third AND gate 73 via the delay circuit 76.

The comparator 70 compares the output of the first counter 68 and the output of the second counter 71, and the stored value of the first counter 68 becomes the second value.
When it is larger than the stored value of the counter 71, "H" is sent to one input side of the third AND gate 73. Therefore, the third AND gate 73 takes the AND with "H" from the fourth AND gate 75, sends "H" to the input side of the second D flip-flop 74, and sets the second D flip-flop 74.

The second D flip-flop 74 has the Q output side connected to the second counter 71 via the differentiating circuit 77, the drive source 39 via the driver 78, and the lamp indicator 49, via the fifth AND gate 79. The second sound effect generator 80 and the light emission source controller 64 are connected to the second sound effect generator 80 and 50, 52 and 53, respectively. Therefore, when the second D flip-flop 74 is set, the Q output becomes "H", and this "H" causes the second sound effect generator 80 to operate.
The sound source controller 64 causes the special game lamp indicator 47 to blink simultaneously.

At the same time as these operations, the driving source 39 is excited by "H" from the second D flip-flop 74 to open the door plate 36, and the variable winning a prize device 6 is changed from the first state in which the ball is not accepted to the second state in which it is easily accepted. Convert and start the first cycle.

In this way, when the variable winning device 6 is converted to the second state,
The second state is maintained until the stop condition is satisfied, and the ball that has come downstream is received by the door plate 36 so that the winning state can be achieved. Then, in this embodiment, the stop condition of either one of the number of winning balls set in the third counter 81 for counting and inputting the signal from the counting detector 44 of the variable winning device 6 and the time set in the timer 82 is satisfied. At this time, the variable winning device 6 is returned from the second state to the first state, and the cycle is finished. That is, the output side of the timer 82 for which the maximum cycle duration is set to 10 seconds is connected to one input side of the second OR gate 84 via the differentiating circuit 83, and the output side of the second OR gate 84 is connected to the second D flip-flop 74. Connect to the reset input side of. Further, the Q ₁ output side and the Q ₃ output side of the third counter 81 are respectively connected to the respective input sides of the sixth AND gate 85, and the output side of the sixth AND gate 85 is the other side of the second OR gate 84 described above. Connect to the input side of.

Therefore, balls are successively won in the variable winning device 6, the counting detector 44 detects one of these balls, and the waveform shaping circuit
When the "H" signal is sent to the third counter 81 via 86, the counter 81 counts the number of winning balls one by one and sequentially converts the outputs Q _{0 to} Q ₃ . Therefore, the third display means 56 connected to Q _{0 to} Q ₃ of the counter 81 via the second decoder 87 can digitally display the winning number in the cycle.

Then, when 10 game balls are won in the variable winning device 6,
Q ₀ output of the third counter 81 is “L”, Q ₁ output is “H”, Q ₂
The output is “L”, the Q ₃ output is “H”, that is, “10”, the “H” signal is sent to the reset input side of the second D flip-flop 74 via the second OR gate 84, and the second D flip-flop 74 To reset the first cycle.

On the other hand, when the set time of the timer 82 elapses 10 seconds before 10 game balls are won in the variable winning device 6, the "H" signal from the timer 82 resets the second D flip-flop 74 via the second OR gate 84. It is sent to the input side and the second D flip-flop 74 is reset regardless of the number of winnings to the variable winning device 6.

When the second D flip-flop 74 is reset, the Q output is converted to “L”, the driving source 39 is demagnetized, and the variable winning device 6 is changed from the second state which is advantageous to the player to the first which is disadvantageous to the player. The second counter 71 that counts when the Q output falls is returned to the third decoder 88.
The number of completed (updated) cycles is visually displayed on the first display means 54 via. That is, by converting the red light emission of the light emitting diode of the special game device 4 into the green light emission, the player is made aware of the number of end cycles.

When the second counter 71 counts, the second counter 71
Since the output is the same as that of 68, the output of the comparator 70 is converted to "L". However, in this state, the 2D flip-flop 74 is not set immediately. Further, when the second D flip-flop 74 is reset, the inverted Q output is converted into “H”, so that “H” resets the third counter 81 and the timer 82.

In this state, when a ball enters the special winning opening 5 and the "H" signal from the special detector 45 enters the first counter 68, the comparator 70 sends "H" to the third AND gate 73 as described above. The third AND gate 73 uses the output of the fourth AND gate 75 as the other input, and slightly (1 second in the embodiment) after the fourth AND gate 75 resets the second D flip-flop 74 by the operation of the delay circuit 76. Since "H" is continuously output after a delay, the second D flip-flop 74 is set again as soon as "H" and AND are taken. Therefore, the variable winning device 6 is converted to the second state again and updated in the second cycle.

In addition, immediately after the end of the first cycle, the comparator
Even if "H" is sent from the third AND gate 73 from 70, the re-excitation of the drive source 39 is delayed at least by the time set in the delay circuit 76 of the fourth AND gate 75. Therefore, the door plate 36 of the variable winning device 6 is completely closed by the urging of the spring 41, and then the driving source 39 is driven again to change the state to the second state which is advantageous to the player.

In this way, the variable winning device 6 accepts the ball from the second state in which it is easy to accept the sphere every time the stop condition of "10 seconds" set in the timer 82 or "10" set in the third counter 81 is satisfied. It returns to the first state that does not exist, and is updated to the next cycle on condition that the game ball enters the special winning opening 5.
Then, the number of executed cycles is visually displayed to the player by the first display means 54.

The special detector 45 continues during the special game,
That is, as long as the first D flip-flop 60 maintains the set state, the ball entering the special winning opening 5 is detected and the first counter is detected.
Send cycle start signal to 68. Since the first counter 68 stores the signal from the special detector 45, the second counter 71 stores the number of completed cycles, and the comparator 70 compares the two stored contents, the stored content of the first counter 68 is exhausted. Until, that is, until the number of balls detected by the special detector 45 and the number converted by the variable winning device 6 to the second state match, the comparator 70 outputs "H", and the variable winning device 6 is repeated. Two
Convert to state and update cycle.

As long as the balls continue to enter the special winning opening 5, if the cycle of the variable winning device 6 is updated indefinitely, the game will not be sound and the pachinko parlor will be greatly damaged. Therefore,
It is necessary to limit the profit per special game. Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of balls entering the special winning opening 5 is limited to eight, and the eighth "H" from the special detector 45 is the first counter 68.
When the Q ₃ output becomes “H” after being sent to, the first D flip-flop 60 is reset by sending this “H” to the reset side input of the first D flip-flop 60.

When the first D flip-flop 60 is reset, the Q output is converted to "L" so that the second AND gate 66 remains closed and the special detector 45 does not detect the sphere. Further, when the first D flip-flop 60 is reset, the inverted Q output becomes “H”, so that this “H” acts as a reset signal for the first counter 68 and the second counter 71, and the clock of the third D flip-flop 89 is generated. Acts as a signal. The third D flip-flop 89 has the output of the comparator 70 connected to the D input side and the Q output side connected to one input side of the first OR gate 72.

Then, when the 8th "H" is input to the first counter 68, "H" is sent from the comparator 70, so that the 3D
The clock signal of the flip-flop 89 is input, and "H" on the D input side is transmitted from Q. Therefore, even if the first D flip-flop 60 is reset, the operation of the third D flip-flop 89 sets the second D flip-flop 74 again. When the second D flip-flop 74 is set,
Since the driving source 39 is excited in the same manner as described above, the variable winning device 6
Converts to the second state. When the stop condition of "10 counts" or "10 seconds" is satisfied, the second D flip-flop 74 is reset, so that the variable winning device 6 is returned to the first state and the special game device 4 is initialized. To the first control state.

If the memory of the first counter 68 is "7" and the second counter 71 is "7", and the eighth game ball enters the special conversion winning opening, the first counter 68 is the same as above. The first D flip-flop 60 is reset by the “H” of Q _{3, and} the _third D flip-flop is reset by the “H” from the comparator 70.
"H" is sent from Q of 89, and the drive source 39 is excited again. Therefore, the variable winning device 6 will update the cycle substantially up to 8 times per big hit. Even if the 9th game ball enters the special winning opening 5,
Since one input side of the second AND gate 66 is already “L” and the comparator 70 does not output “H”, the variable winning a prize device 6 will not open 9 times.

Further, in this embodiment, the D of the first D flip-flop 60 is
Since the inverted Q output is connected to the input side, the ball that has entered the special winning area 10 of the special gaming device 46 while the first D flip-flop 60 is set and the special game is being played is the specific winning opening 11 When entering, the Q output becomes a signal of the same level as the D input side due to the signal from the specific detector 22. That is,
When the ball enters the specific winning opening 11 during the special game, the Q output is converted into "L" from the inverted Q output. Therefore, it means that the first counter has been reset by "H" from the inverted Q output side of the first D flip-flop 60.
68 and the second counter 71 are reset, and the special game state is ended.

However, when “H” is sent from the comparator 70 before the first counter 68 and the second counter 71 are reset, that is, the number of game balls stored in the first counter 68 is the second counter 71. If the number of executions of the cycle is greater than the stored number of executed cycles, when the "H" is input from the inversion Q of the first D flip-flop 60 to the third D flip-flop 89, the "H" of the comparator 70 held on the D input side is held. Is sent from Q. Therefore, in this case, the variable winning device 6 converts to the second state only once.

By doing so, when the special gaming state is generated and the once generated special gaming state is stripped due to re-winning into the special winning opening 5 or the like, the stored content of the first counter 68 becomes the second. If it is larger than the stored content of the counter 71, the 3D
Since a separate profit can be given by the flip-flop 89, the player is less likely to be disappointed, and the profit can be balanced with the maximum profit (8 cycles).

The drive means of the special game device 4 in the above-described embodiment is provided with the permanent magnet 27a, the rotor 23 as the inflow probability conversion means.
27b is provided and is used as an electromagnetic drive source for converting the rotating body 23 by changing the magnetic poles of the electromagnets 29a and 29b. Based on the detection output from the specific detector 22, the rotating body 23 is first
Although the mode is changed to the second mode or the rotating body 23 is converted from the second mode to the first mode, the electromagnetic drive source is not limited to this configuration.

In the second embodiment of the special game device 4 shown in FIGS. 8 to 13, the special prize area 10 surrounded by the ball inflow preventing member 8 is formed on the surface of the mounting board 7 and the ball inflow preventing member 8 is formed. A special game ball inflow port 9 is opened at the top, and an eaves portion 90 protruding above the special game ball inflow port 9 serves as a third display means.
Special prize area with segmented digital display 56 '
A rotating member 93 having a ball guide path 91 and a pin 92 is provided as a flow path changing member on the upper part of the specific winning opening 11 formed substantially in the center of 10, and the specific winning opening 11 located below the rotating member 93. A pair of movable pieces 94, 94 for converting the upper end spacing are provided in the front as a ball guide member, and the movable piece 9 is provided below the general winning opening 12.
6th display 95 showing the open state of 4,94, movable pieces 94,9
7th display 96, 8th display 97 showing the state in which 4 is closed
And a first display means 54 and a second display means 55 composed of light emitting diodes are arranged on the left and right sides of the sphere inflow prevention member 8, and a motor with a speed reducer for rotating the rotation member 93 on the back side of the mounting substrate 7. 33 is provided, and the specific detector 22 is provided in the flow path extending from the specific winning opening 11.

A ball guide path having a narrow one end opening 91a and a wide other end opening 91b on the surface of the rotating member 93 provided as the flow path changing member.
91 is formed, and a pin 92 is provided upright in the wide opening 91b. Therefore, when the rotating member 93 is constantly rotated by the motor 33 with a reduction gear, as shown in FIG. 8, the narrow opening 91a is positioned immediately below the special game ball inlet, or the opening 91a, 91b sideways or wide opening 9
1b is sequentially converted into a state in which it is located immediately below the special game ball inlet 9. When the narrow opening 91a is located immediately below the special game ball inlet 9, the special game ball inlet 9
The ball that has entered the special winning area 10 flows down in the ball guide path 91 of the rotating member 93, hits the pin 92 immediately above the movable pieces 94, 94, and changes the flowing direction. For this reason, the probability that the ball will fall within the interval between the upper ends of the movable pieces 94 is reduced.

On the other hand, if a wide opening is located immediately below the special game ball inlet 9, most of the balls dropped from the special game ball inlet 9 will hit the pin 92 and change the downward direction. Most of the balls flowing down the ball guide path 91 and flowing out from the narrow opening 91a flow down into the space between the movable pieces 94, 94, and the specific winning opening 11
The probability of entering will increase. Also, the openings 91a, 91 of the ball guideway 91
In the state where b is facing sideways, the ball that has entered the special winning opening area 10 from the special game ball inlet 9 hits the side surface of the ball guide path 91 and changes the flow path in the lateral direction, and most of it is movable. It falls by the side of the pieces 94,94. The balls that have not entered the specific winning opening 11 through the upper end spaces of the movable pieces 94, 94 fall to the bottom of the ball inflow prevention member 8, enter the general winning opening 12, and flow out to the back side of the mounting substrate 7. Becomes a winning ball.

It is arranged below the rotating member 93 having the above-mentioned configuration, and can be converted into a first mode in which the probability that a ball will flow into the specific winning opening 11 is low and a second mode in which the probability that a ball will flow into the specific winning hole 11 is high. Inflow probability conversion means, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12,
A pocket 98 having an open upper surface is provided on the surface of the mounting substrate 7, an electromagnet 100 with both ends of the core 99 facing upward is provided as an electromagnetic drive source in the pocket 98, and movable pieces 94, 94 are provided in the upper portion of the pocket 98. Permanent magnets 101a and 101b, which are rotatably attached to the shaft and attached to the lower ends of the movable pieces 94 and 94, are made to face both ends of a core 99 of the electromagnet 100.

The permanent magnets 101a and 101b are arranged so that the magnetic poles are different between the left and right, and the permanent magnet 101a on the left side in the drawing is attached with the N pole facing down and the right permanent magnet 101b with the S pole facing down. is there. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, when the electromagnet 100 is excited to generate the S pole on the left side of the core 99 and the N pole on the right side, the left permanent magnet 101a is attracted to the left end of the core 99 of the electromagnet 100. And the permanent magnet 101b on the right side is the electromagnet 10
The left and right movable pieces 94,94 are attracted to the right end of the core 99 of 0 and almost stand upright, the interval between the movable pieces 94,94 is narrow, and the probability that a ball will flow into the specific winning opening 11 is low. It becomes a mode.

On the other hand, when the direction of the current of the electromagnet 100 is reversed to generate the N pole at the left end and the S pole at the right end of the core 99 of the electromagnet 100,
As shown in Fig. 12, the N pole of the left permanent magnet 101a and the electromagnet
The N pole of 100 repels, and S of the permanent magnet 101b on the right side
The pole and the S pole of the electromagnet 100 repel each other and both movable pieces 94, 94 rotate in the direction of opening the upper end. When the interval between the upper ends of the movable pieces 94, 94 is expanded, it is converted into the second mode in which the probability that a ball will flow into the specific winning opening is high.

In this way, the movable pieces 94, 94 as the inflow probability conversion means,
Depending on the direction of the electric current of the electromagnet 100, it is possible to convert into a first mode in which the sphere has a low probability of flowing into the specific winning port 11 and a second mode in which the sphere has a high probability of flowing into the specific winning port 11. Further, the permanent magnets 101a, 101b provided on the movable pieces 94, 94 and the electromagnet 100 function as a drive means for converting the movable variables 94, 94 from the first mode to the second mode. In addition, an inclined surface that is slightly inclined downward toward the specific winning opening 11 is provided in the space between the left and right movable pieces 94 so that the ball can be smoothly rolled into the specific winning opening 11.

Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the count divider 102 that uses the signal sent when the power is turned on as a reset input.
6th display 95 on the Q ₀ output side and 7th display 96 on the Q ₁ output side of
And the eighth display 97 respectively connected to the Q ₂ output side, the Q ₀ output side connected to the relay circuit 103 connects the electromagnet 100 as described above to switching contact of the relay circuit 103. Therefore, when the power is turned on at the opening of the store, the count divider 102 is reset, the Q ₀ output becomes “H”, and the sixth display 95 lights up.

When the Q ₀ output of the count divider 102 becomes “H”, the relay circuit 103 is excited by this “H”, the relay circuit 103 switching contact is switched as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 13, and the core 99 of the electromagnet 100 is switched. An S pole is generated at the left end and an N pole is generated at the right end.
Both movable pieces 94, 94 stand up in a substantially upright state, and are in the first state where it is difficult to receive the ball. The fact that both movable pieces 94, 94 are in the first state is visually displayed to the player by lighting the sixth display off 95, as described above.

In this state, when the ball fortunately falls within the interval between the movable pieces 94, 94 and enters the specific winning opening 11, the special game right generation signal from the specific detector 22 is sent to the electric control device 46 of FIG. When the special game is started and the special game right generation signal is input to the count divider 102, the Q ₀ output is converted to “L” and turned off on the sixth display 95,
The Q ₀ output is converted to “H” and the seventh display 96 is turned on, and at the same time, the coil of the relay circuit 103 is demagnetized.

When the coil of the relay circuit 103 is demagnetized, the switching contact of the relay circuit 103 switches as shown by the solid line in FIG.
The direction of the current flowing through 100 reverses. Therefore, the left end of the core 99 of the electromagnet 100 is converted into the N pole and the right end is converted into the S pole, and the movable pieces 94 and 94 are moved from the first mode in which the probability of the ball flowing into the specific winning opening 11 is low to the specific winning opening 11 to the specific winning opening 11. Is converted into the second mode in which there is a high probability of inflow.

Then, when the ball again enters the special winning area 10 in this state, the movable pieces 94, 94 as the inflow probability converting means maintain the second state, so that the ball easily enters the specific winning opening 11. When the ball enters the special winning opening 11, the special detector 22 sends a special game right generation signal to the count divider 102 again, the Q ₁ output is converted to “L” and the seventh display 96 is turned off. , Q ₂ output is converted to “H” and the eighth display 97 is turned on. In this state, the count divider 102 Q ₀
Since the output maintains "L", the relay circuit 103 remains demagnetized, and the movable pieces 94, 94 maintain the second state.

Then, when the ball next enters the specific winning opening 11, the specific detector 22
Q ₁ output is converted to “L” by the signal from the 8th display
While turning off 97, Q ₀ output is converted to “H” and the 6th
Turn on the display 95. Also, the Q of Count Divider 102
_{When the 0} output is converted to "H", the relay circuit 103 is excited, so that in both movable variables 94 and 94, the ball flows into the specific winning opening 11 from the second mode in which the probability of the ball flowing into the specific winning opening 11 is high. It returns to the 1st mode with a low probability.

In this way, in the second embodiment of the special game device 4, both movable pieces 94, 94 functioning as the inflow probability conversion means have a low probability that a ball will flow into the specific winning opening 11 at the beginning of opening (initial state). In the first mode, when the ball first falls within the interval between the movable pieces 94,94 and enters the specific winning opening 11, both movable pieces 94,94 have a high probability that the ball will flow into the specific winning opening 11. Convert to two modes. Then, this movable piece 94, 94 is then the specific winning opening 11
The second mode is maintained until two balls enter, that is, the special game state is generated twice. Therefore, when the special game state is generated once, the probability of occurrence of the special game state of the magnetic field becomes higher than in the conventional case, and the player can play the game in an advantageous state.

When the output side of the specific detector 22 is connected to the first D flip-flop 60 of the electric control unit 46 shown in FIG.
A special game can be played in the same manner as in the above embodiment.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, the inflow probability conversion means in the special game device of the special game state initiation means, and the drive for converting the inflow probability conversion means from the first mode to the second mode When the drive means converts the inflow probability conversion means into the second mode, the means for providing the special prize is provided and the specific winning opening is provided with the specific prize detecting means which is a condition for causing the special gaming state. In addition, it is possible to increase the probability of inflow into a specific winning opening in the special gaming device, and thus increase the probability of causing a special game state in the pachinko machine.

Therefore, it is possible to add variability to the probability that the special game state is generated by appropriately setting the condition for the drive means to convert the inflow probability conversion means to the second mode in the pachinko machine maker. If the inflow probability conversion means is converted to the second mode at the end of the special game state, the special game state is likely to be generated again after the end of the special game state. Therefore, at the pachinko parlor side, the game is played. It is possible to further improve the service while increasing the motivation of the player to start the special game state. In addition, players are more likely to get special game profits continuously within an appropriate range,
You can play a healthy and interesting pachinko game.
