Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, a program, and a recording medium that are installed and used in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor.

  In general, the opening and closing of the opening / closing member (blade) fluctuates between an open state in which a game ball can be won and a closed state in which the game ball cannot be won. And a variable winning device configured so that a winning game ball always passes through either the specific region or the general region, and the variable winning device is closed from the closed state based on the winning of the gaming ball. There is known a pachinko gaming machine called a so-called wings provided with a start winning opening that gives an opportunity to be temporarily opened (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In such a pachinko gaming machine, when a game ball wins at the start winning opening, when the game ball that won the variable winning device passes a specific area when the variable winning device is temporarily open, Thus, for example, a special game state is generated in which a one-round game in which the opening / closing member of the variable winning device is opened and closed a plurality of times is performed up to a predetermined number of rounds.

In general, three start winning holes are formed side by side at the lower part of the game area into which game balls are driven. Then, the gaming machine wins the second start winning opening in the center than the opening time when the variable winning device opens when the game ball wins in the first start winning opening on the left and right of the three starting winning openings. Thus, the opening time when the variable winning device is opened is set to be longer (for example, the time that is doubled in the case of the first start winning opening).
In addition, when extending the opening time when the variable winning device is released based on the winning of the game ball at the start winning opening, the opening time may be continuously extended and the opening time may be increased. The opening time may be lengthened by increasing.

  On the other hand, as a pachinko gaming machine, what is called a digipachi is known. In the digipachi, a special variable winning device (attacker) that varies between an open state where a game ball is easy to win and a closed state where the game ball cannot be won. And a variable display device for displaying the variable display game, and when the variable display game is won, a predetermined round number of games of one round that keeps the special variable winning device open continuously for a relatively long time. A special game state to be performed is generated.

By the way, with the above-mentioned wings, the probability of becoming a special gaming state is basically a variable winning device when the open / closed state is established based on the winning rate at the starting winning opening and the winning of the game ball at the starting winning opening. And the passing rate of the game ball to the specific area when the game ball wins the variable winning device.
Therefore, the occurrence rate of the special game state during the game is almost constant.

  On the other hand, in the Digipachi, there are a low probability state in which the probability of winning in a variable display game is low, and a high probability state (so-called probabilistic state) in which the probability of winning is higher than the low probability state. The probability of becoming a state varies depending on the gaming state, and in a high probability state, special gaming states are likely to occur continuously.

In general, when a player wins, the number of game balls to be acquired is larger than that of feathers.
Therefore, when a player who usually plays a digipachi plays a wing, he is dissatisfied with the low possibility that a special gaming state will occur continuously, and often refrains from playing with a wing. There was a problem.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the occurrence rate of the special gaming state advantageous to the player is based on the winning rate at the start winning opening and the open / closed state based on the winning of the game ball at the starting winning opening Even if it is determined by the winning rate of the variable winning device and the passing rate of the game ball to the specific area when the game ball wins the variable winning device, the occurrence rate of the special gaming state is high An object is to provide a gaming machine capable of setting a low case.

The invention according to claim 1 is provided on the game board, and can be changed between an open state in which the launched game ball can win and a closed state in which the game ball cannot win, and the winning game ball can flow down A variable prize apparatus configured to have a specific area and a general area inside the game ball, and the game ball passes through either the specific area or the general area;
A winning detection means for detecting a game ball winning in the variable winning device;
A first start winning opening and a second starting winning opening for providing an opportunity for the floating winning apparatus to be temporarily opened from the closed state based on the winning of the game ball;
A variable winning device control means for temporarily opening the variable winning device based on the fact that a game ball has won the first start winning port and the second starting winning port;
A special game state advantageous to the player is obtained when the game ball that has won the variable winning device that has been temporarily opened based on the game ball having won the start winning opening passes the specific area. Special game state generating means for generating,

The game ball finally passes through a general outlet 23 as a general area or a specific outlet described later as a specific area inside the outer peripheral wall 29 and is led out to the back side of the game board 3. ing.

  As described above, the game balls that have not flowed into any of the recesses 25, 26, 27 of the rotating body 24 flow out between the inner peripheral wall 28 and the outer peripheral wall 29, and the bottom plate 32 is inclined due to the inclination of the bottom plate 32. It flows down toward the general outlet 23 formed at the lowest position between the peripheral wall 28 and the outer peripheral wall 29, and is discharged from the general outlet 23.

The game balls that have flowed into the recesses 25, 26, and 27 of the rotating body 24 pass through the notch 281 if the open portions on the outer peripheral surface side of the recesses 25, 26, and 27 overlap the above-described notch 281. As a result, the liquid flows out from the recesses 25, 26, and 27 and flows into the general outlet 23.
In addition, if the open portions on the outer peripheral surface side of the recesses 25, 26, 27 do not overlap the above-described notch portion 281, the game balls in the recesses 25, 26, 27 are recessed by the inner peripheral wall 28.
Is prevented from flowing out, and rotates together with the rotating body 24 while being held in the recesses 25, 26 and 27.

  Here, the bottom plate 32 is formed with a specific outlet serving as the above-mentioned specific region at a position below the rotating body 24 at a position indicated by reference numeral 30 in FIG. In the center position of the specific outlet, the distance along the radial direction from the outer periphery of the rotating body 24 is shorter than the recess 25 and longer than the recesses 26 and 27. Therefore, when each of the recesses 25, 26, and 27 has a rotation angle corresponding to the specific outlet, the end of the recess 25 on the center side of the rotating body 24 and almost the entire specific outlet can overlap. The end portions of the concave portions 26 and 27 on the center side of the rotating body 24 and the specific outlet are slightly overlapped. Therefore, even if the bottom plate 32 is opened at the position of the specific outlet, the game balls held in the recesses 26 and 27 cannot flow out to the specific outlet.

Therefore, the game ball that has flowed into the recesses 26 and 27 of the rotating body 24 rotates with the rotating body 24 while being held in the recesses 26 and 27, thereby reaching the position of the notch portion 281 of the inner peripheral wall 28. It flows out to the general outlet 23 through 281.
Moreover, the center side edge part of the rotary body 24 of the recessed part 25 and the specific outlet are overlapped when the recessed part 25 reaches a predetermined angle. In the state where the recessed part 25 overlaps, The held game ball can flow out from the specific outlet which is the opening of the bottom plate 32.

  Further, the position of the specific outlet is slightly in front of the notch 281 with respect to the rotation direction of the rotating body 24. Therefore, the game ball that has flowed into and held in the recess 25 reaches the specific outlet before reaching the notch 281 of the inner peripheral wall 28 and flows into the specific outlet as the specific region. The specific outflow port is provided with a V winning ball detection sensor 46 described later for detecting a game ball flowing into the specific outflow port, that is, a game ball passing through the specific region. It is connected to the control device 71.

  From the above, the variable winning device 13 includes a specific area and a general area inside the winning game ball can flow down, and the game ball passes through either the specific area or the general area. ing. Note that the concave portion 25 of the rotating body 24 that guides the game ball to the specific area (specific outlet) is referred to as a specific recess 25 in order to distinguish from the other concave portions 26 and 27 that do not guide the game ball to the specific area. There is a case.

Next, the control system of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of this example will be described with reference to the block diagram shown in FIG.
The control system of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is roughly composed of a main control unit 61, a sub control unit 62, and a power supply device 63 that supplies power to the main control unit 61 and the sub control unit 62.
The main control unit 61 includes a main control device 71 composed of, for example, a one-chip microcomputer for a gaming machine. The main control device 71 includes a CPU 81 for executing a program, a program and data used in the program. A ROM 82, a RAM 83 that stores data generated based on a program, various data read from the ROM 82, a frequency generation circuit unit 84, and the like are provided.

  Signals from various sensors provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be input to the main controller 71 (CPU 81), and the aforementioned winning ball count sensor 41, first start winning ball detection sensors 42, 43, The second start winning ball detection sensor 44, the general winning ball detection sensor 45, and the V winning ball detection sensor 46 are connected, and are paid out from the game ball payout device 94 for paying out the winning balls in response to winning of the game balls. A game ball payout detection sensor 48 for detecting a prize ball and an error detection sensor 49 for detecting an error in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are connected.

Further, the main control device 71 outputs various signals for operating various devices of the pachinko gaming machine 1. For example, a central control device 64 for collecting and managing data of each gaming machine installed in a game store is connected to the main control device 71 so that data can be input from the main control device 71. The main control device 71 is connected to a payout control device 74, a lamp control device 72, and a sound control device 73 as sub-control devices, and is connected so as to be able to output commands (control commands) to these sub-control devices. ing.
Here, since the payout control device 74 performs the main control of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 for substantially paying out the winning ball, it is included in the main control unit 61, and a lamp related to the effect of the game The control device 72 and the voice control device 73 are included in the sub-control unit 62.

  The main control device 71 is connected to a round number display device 53, which is a 7-segment LED display device, and the main control device 71 performs display control. Although not shown in FIGS. 1, 2, etc., the round number display device 53 is provided in the upper part of the portion that becomes the variable winning space of the variable winning device 13. In addition, the round number display device 53 displays the number of rounds in the special gaming state described later, but the special gaming state is set to only one round, five rounds and 15 rounds, When the main controller 71 selects one by lottery, it may be used to notify the lottery result.

  Further, the payout control device 74 is connected to a game ball payout device 94 for paying out award balls and rental balls, which is controlled by the payout control device 74, and reads out data from the prepaid card 97 to control the payout of game balls. A CR unit 96 is connected through a ball lending signal control device 95. Then, the payout control device 74 pays out a prize ball based on a command from the main control device 71 and pays a ball based on a ball lending signal input from the CR unit 96 via a ball lending signal control device 95. Perform control.

  Further, the main control device 71 rotationally drives the solenoid 51 that opens and closes the blade members 31 and 31 of the variable winning unit 22 of the variable winning device 13 and the rotating body 24 as a distribution member of the variable winning device 13. A rotary motor 52 is connected.

  In addition, the main control unit 61 is not directly connected to the main control device 71, but has a firing control device 75 that controls a firing drive device 85 of a hitting ball launching device (not shown) that launches a game ball into the game area 7. The rotary control handle 11 and the firing stop button 87 for operating the launching of the game ball are connected to the launch control device 75.

  The main control device 71 of the main control unit 61 controls the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and includes a winning ball count sensor 41, first starting winning ball detection sensors 42 and 43, and second starting winning ball detection. When a game ball detection signal is input from the sensor 44 or the general winning ball detection sensor 45, that is, when a gaming ball wins at each winning opening, a command is output to the payout control device 74 to play a game as a winning ball. Let the ball discharge.

  Further, the main controller 71 plays a game in the first and second start winning openings 14, 15, 16 in a normal game state in which a normal game is performed (including a normal state and a specific state described later and not including a special game state). When the variable winning device 13 is temporarily opened due to the winning of the ball, the game ball wins the variable winning device 13 and a specific area provided in the winning space inside the variable winning device 13 When a game ball flows into the specific outlet of the game, and this is detected by the V winning ball detection sensor 46 and a detection signal (V winning signal) is input from the V winning ball detection sensor 46, the following special gaming state is generated. Let

  In the special gaming state, the main control device 71 controls the solenoid 51 that opens and closes the blade members 31 and 31 of the variable winning unit 22 of the variable winning device 13 so that the blade members 31 and 31 of the variable winning device 13 are 1 second. The game which becomes 1 round which repeats the operation | movement which opens and closes up to 18 times is performed up to 15 rounds.

  The special game state is started with the input of the V winning signal described above. Then, the round end condition for repeating the opening / closing of the variable winning device 13 is that the number of opening / closing from the start of the round of the variable winning device 13 is 18, and the number of winning game balls to the variable winning device 13 (winning) The number of detection signals (winning signal) input from the round start of the ball count sensor becomes 9 (10), and the game ball flows into the specific outlet as the specific area (V winning ball detection sensor 46) The V winning signal is input from

  When one of the round ending conditions is satisfied, one round is finished, and the finished round is not the final round (15 rounds), and the game ball won in the variable winning device 13 during the round is a specific area. When the V winning signal is input from the V winning ball detection sensor 46 after passing, the next round is started. That is, it is a continuation condition for the round that the game ball won in the variable winning device 13 during the round passes through the specific area.

  If the continuation condition is not satisfied, the special gaming state ends even if the final round is not reached, and one of the special gaming state termination conditions is that the continuation condition for the round is not satisfied. Note that the special game state end condition is either the set predetermined number of times or the above-described round continuation condition is not satisfied.

  Note that with the above settings, when a special game state occurs and one round is started, if the game ball immediately passes through a specific area, nine game balls as round end conditions are There is a possibility that the number of game balls acquired in the special game state will be extremely reduced because the round ends and the next round starts before winning.

  In addition, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area during the round, it is highly likely that nine game balls will be won by the time the variable winning device 13 opens and closes 18 times, and a predetermined number of game balls are won. Although the round end condition is satisfied, if the game ball does not pass through the specific area, the round continuation condition is not satisfied, the special game state is ended, and the number of acquired game balls in the special game state may be extremely reduced. is there.

  Therefore, in this example, the specific recess 25 is notched 281 until the number of game balls won to the variable winning device 13 from the start of the round, that is, until the number of detection signals input from the winning ball count sensor 41 is 5, is reached. The rotating body 24 is stopped at a position that is closer to the rotation direction than the specific outlet on the front side in the rotation direction, preventing the game ball from flowing into the specific outlet as the specific area, and By setting the rotating body 24 in a stopped state, the game balls are easily held in the recesses 25, 26, and 27.

  When the number of detection signal inputs from the winning ball count sensor 41 reaches 5, the rotating body 24 is rotated so that the V winning signal is input from the V winning ball detection sensor 46 immediately after the round starts. It is possible to prevent the round in which the balls have not won much from being finished and to allow the game ball to flow into the specific recess 25 from the start of the round. Then, by stopping the rotating body 24 and making it easy for the game ball to win the specific recess 25, the game is held in the specific recess 25 with a high probability before the rotating body 24 starts rotating. Make continuation conditions easier to hold.

  The main control device 71 as described above has the variable winning device 13 that temporarily opens the variable winning device 13 based on the winning of the game balls in the first start winning ports 14, 15 and the second start winning port 16. A game ball that has won the variable winning device 13 that functions as device control means and that is temporarily open based on the winning of the game ball in the first and second start winning ports 14, 15, 16 is provided. When it passes through the specific area, it functions as a special game state generating means for generating a special game state advantageous to the player.

  Further, the main control device 71 detects a game signal (a first signal indicating that a game ball has won from the first and second starting winning ball detection sensors 42, 43, 44 to the first and second starting winning ports 14, 15, 16). When the 1 start winning signal and the 2nd starting winning signal) are input, the variable winning unit 22 of the variable winning device 13 is temporarily opened. At least one of a certain opening time (the time from opening to closing) and the number of times of opening (the number of times of opening the variable winning device 13 in response to one start winning signal input) is selected by lottery.

  Further, in the lottery release conditions, the longer the release time, the more advantageous to the player, and the more the number of releases, the more advantageous to the player. In this example, as an opening condition when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 14, 15 and the second starting winning opening 16, as an opening condition that is relatively disadvantageous to the player, the opening time is 1 second, the number of times of opening. An opening condition of one time is set, and an opening condition of an opening time of 1 second and the number of times of opening twice is set as an opening condition that is more advantageous to the player than an opening condition that is disadvantageous to the player.

In this example, the opening time is fixed and the opening number is changed by setting the opening number that is disadvantageous to the player and the opening condition that is advantageous to the player. For example, an opening condition unfavorable to the player may be an opening time of 1 second and the number of opening times, and an opening condition advantageous to the player may be an opening time of 2 seconds and an opening number of 1 time.
Furthermore, both the opening time and the number of times of opening may be changed. For example, the opening condition that is disadvantageous to the player is 1 second, the opening number is 1 time, and the opening condition that is advantageous to the player is 2 seconds, It is good also as the frequency | count of opening twice.

  The selectable release conditions are not limited to two, and may be three or more, for example, an open condition with an open time of 1 second, an open condition with an open time of 2 seconds, with the number of open times being constant, The opening condition may be selected by lottery from the opening condition of the opening time of 3 seconds. Alternatively, the opening time may be constant and the number of opening times may be once, twice, or three times. Moreover, it is good also as three or more opening conditions by changing both the frequency | count of opening and opening time. In the case of an opening condition in which both the number of opening times and the opening time are different, the opening condition that is basically the sum of the opening time multiplied by the number of opening times is a relatively favorable opening condition for the player. .

  In addition, in the release condition where the total release time is substantially equal, the release condition that is advantageous to the player is that the number of times of release is small and the continuous open time is long. Moreover, in the release conditions in which the number of times of release is plural, the release times for each release may be equal or different. Also, the release condition selected by lottery by winning a game ball in the first start winning opening 14, 15 and the release condition selected by lottery by winning a game ball in the second start winning opening 16 It may be different.

  In addition, the lottery performs, for example, an update process that counts up a numerical value within a predetermined range by one every very short period (returns to the lower limit when the upper limit of the numerical value within the predetermined range is reached), and the first and second The numerical value updated at the timing when the first starting winning signal is input from the starting winning ball detection sensor 42, 43, 44 is acquired as a (pseudo) random number, and each numerical value in the predetermined range described above and the plurality of releases are acquired in advance. Compared with a determination table (random number table) in which time is associated, the open time associated with the same numerical value as the random number obtained in the determination table is won.

Further, the main control device 71 sets the determination table so that the winning probability of the opening condition advantageous to the player is different from the winning probability of the opening condition disadvantageous to the player. This is set by making the number of numerical values associated with the release condition disadvantageous to the player different from the number of numerical values associated with the release condition advantageous to the player in the determination table.
Further, the determination table has two for the first start winning port 14, 15 and the second start winning port 16, and the winning probability of the opening condition advantageous to the player and the opening condition unfavorable to the player The winning probabilities are different.

Further, the main control device 71 controls the normal gaming state that is not the special gaming state, further divided into the normal state and the specific state, and uses different determination tables for the normal state and the specific state. It has become.
In a normal state, when a game ball wins at the first start winning opening 14 and 15, for example, the probability of selecting an unfavorable release condition for the player is 4/5, and an open condition advantageous to the player is selected. The probability of doing is 1/5. In the normal state, when a game ball wins the second start winning opening 16, for example, the probability of selecting an unfavorable release condition for the player is set to 1/5, and the release condition advantageous to the player is selected. The probability of doing is 4/5.

  In the specific state, when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 14 or 15, for example, the probability of selecting an unfavorable release condition for the player is 1/5, and the release condition advantageous to the player. The probability of selecting is 4/5. Also, in a specific state, when a game ball wins the second start winning opening 16, for example, the probability of selecting an unfavorable release condition for the player is 4/5, and an open condition advantageous to the player is selected. The probability of doing is 1/5.

  In the normal state, in the normal state, the game ball is won at the second start prize port 16 where it is difficult for the game balls to win from the first start prize holes 14 and 15, and the game ball is won at the second start prize port 16. Occurs when a game ball is won in the variable winning device that is temporarily open based on the fact, and the winning ball count sensor 41 detects this game ball. Further, the specific state is, for example, the number of game balls (first start winning number) that wins the first start winning ports 14 and 15 as the end condition, that is, detection signals from the first start winning ball detection sensors 42 and 43. Is counted from the start of the specific state, and when the first start winning number reaches a predetermined number of times, for example, 100 times, the specific state is ended and the normal state is obtained.

  In this example, the starting condition for the specific state is that the game ball wins the variable winning device that is temporarily opened based on the game ball winning at the second start winning port 16. The end condition is not limited to the above-mentioned conditions, and is, for example, the number of game balls won in the second start winning opening 16 instead of the number of starting wins in the first start winning openings 14 and 15. It may be the second start winning number, the first starting winning number of only one of the two first starting winning ports 14, 15 or the total starting winning number of all the starting winning ports. Further, the end condition may be occurrence of a special gaming state.

  From the above, the main control device 71 as the variable winning device control means opens conditions when the variable winning device 13 is opened based on the winning of the game ball in the first start winning ports 14 and 15. The game ball wins at the first start winning openings 14 and 15 based on the preset release condition that is relatively disadvantageous to the player and the release condition that is relatively advantageous to the player than the disadvantageous condition to the player. The first start lottery means for selecting one release condition by lottery when triggered by this, and the release when the variable winning device 13 is opened based on the winning of the game ball in the second start winning opening 16 A game ball won at the second start winning opening 16 based on a release condition that is relatively disadvantageous for the player and a release condition that is relatively advantageous to the player rather than the disadvantageous condition for the player. In the case of a lottery Ri functions as second start selecting means for selecting one of the open condition.

  Further, the main control device 71 functions as a selection rate setting means for setting the ease of selection by lottery for each release condition when selecting the release condition by lottery, and the first start lottery means at normal time (normal state). The opening condition that is disadvantageous for the player in the lottery by the player is more easily selected than the opening condition that is advantageous for the player, and the opening condition that is advantageous for the player by the lottery by the second starting lottery means is disadvantageous for the player. The game is made after the winning detection means detects the game ball that has been won by the variable winning device that has been made open based on the winning of the game ball at the second start winning opening and is selected more easily than the opening condition. During the period until the end condition based on the game ball fired on the board 3 is satisfied (specific state), the release condition advantageous to the player by lottery by the first start lottery means is unfavorable to the player. More selected With Kusuru be easily selected from favorable opening conditions unfavorable open condition to the player in the lottery by the second start drawing unit to the player

  In addition, through the above processing, the main control device has won a game ball at the first start winning opening in the normal state based on an opening condition and an opening condition when the variable winning device is temporarily opened. The game is controlled so that it is advantageous to the player when the game ball is won at the second start winning port, and in a specific state, the release condition is set when the game ball wins at the first start winning port. Control is performed so as to be more advantageous to the player than when the game ball has won the second start winning opening.

  Further, in this example, since there are two first start winning openings 14, 15, when a game ball wins the first start winning opening 16 in a specific state, the game balls enter the second start winning opening 16. When control is performed so that it is more advantageous to the player than when the player wins, an opening condition that is advantageous to the player may be achieved only when a game ball wins one of the first start winning ports 14 and 15. Good. In this case, when the game ball is won, the first start winning ports 14 and 15 which are open conditions advantageous to the player may be selected from the plurality of first start winning ports 14 and 15 by lottery.

  In addition, the lottery method shall be performed by lottery using the same random number and determination table as in the above-described release condition, and the selection probabilities of the first start winning ports 14 and 15 are made equal. It may be different. In addition, the lottery may be performed, for example, when the start condition of the above-described specific state is satisfied, when the game ball is won at the first start winning opening 14, 15, or the game ball at the second start winning slot 16 It may be at the time of winning. In addition, when a lottery is performed at the time of winning the first start winning opening 14,15, a lottery for selecting the first starting winning opening 14,15 every time a game ball wins the first start winning opening 14,15 is performed. There is a possibility that the first start winning ports 14 and 15 selected for each winning are changed.

  From the above, the main control device 71 functions as first start winning port selection means for selecting a part of the plurality of first start winning ports by lottery, and sets the release condition in the specific state as the first condition. Only when a game ball wins the first start winning port selected by the first start winning port selection means, control is performed so as to be more advantageous to the player than when the game ball wins the second start winning port. Become.

  Then, the main control device 71 controls the solenoid 51 that opens and closes the variable prize-winning device 13 under the opening condition consisting of the opening time and the number of times of opening selected by lottery as described above, and the first start winning opening described above. Based on the start winning of 14 and 15 game balls, control is performed to temporarily open the variable winning device 13. Since the lottery process described above is performed in a very short time, the time from the first start winning prize to the actual opening of the variable winning device 13 after the setting by lottery of the release condition is the conventional feather pachinko gaming machine 1 It will not be so long that the player can be surely recognized.

  The lamp control device 72 of the sub-control unit 62 is provided on a board-related electric decoration (LED) 91 provided on the board surface of the game board 3 and a front frame that supports the game board 3 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. 3 is connected to a frame door-related electric decoration 92 such as a glass frame that covers the front surface of the LED 3 and controls effects such as LEDs and lamps.

  The sound control device 73 is connected with a sound generation device 93 including a sound processor, an amplifier, a speaker, and the like, and the sound control device 73 controls output of effect sound, sound, music, and the like for production.

Next, the normal state in the normal gaming state performed by the main controller 71 and the specific state transition processing for changing the determination table for lottery of the release condition in the specific state will be described.
In the specific state transition process, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the second start winning ball detection sensor 44 detects that a game ball has won the second start winning opening 16, thereby detecting the second start winning ball detection. It is determined whether or not the second start winning signal is input from the sensor 44 (step S1). If the second start winning signal is not input, the standby state is maintained until the second starting winning signal is input.

On the other hand, when the second start winning signal is input, the variable winning device 13 is temporarily opened based on the fact that the game ball has won the second start winning port 16 over the period in which the variable winning device 13 is open. When the winning ball count sensor 41 detects that a game ball has won the device 13, it is monitored whether or not a detection signal is input from the winning ball count sensor 41 to the main controller 71 (step S 2). ). If the detection signal is not input from the winning ball count sensor 41 over the period in which the variable winning device 13 is temporarily open, this process is terminated, and the second start winning signal is again received. Waits for input.

  When the detection signal is input from the winning ball count sensor 41 during the period in which the variable winning device 13 is temporarily open, the first start winning port 14, 15 shows that the first start winning ball detection sensors 42 and 43 detect that the game ball has won 15 and the detection signal is input from the first starting winning ball detection sensors 42 and 43. The decision table is changed to an advantageous one. (Step S3)

  For example, in a normal state, as an opening condition of the variable winning device 13 when a game ball is won at the first start winning opening 14 or 15, an opening condition that is unfavorable for a player having an opening time of 1 second and an opening count of 1 is selected The normal state judgment table with a probability of 4/5, an opening time of 1 second, and an opening condition advantageous to a player with 2 opening times selected is 1/5, an opening time of 1 second, The probability that an unfavorable opening condition is selected for a player with one opening is 1/5, and the probability that an opening condition advantageous for a player with an opening time of 1 second and two opening is selected is 4/5. Change to the specific state determination table.

  Further, the release condition when the second start winning ball detection sensor 44 detects that the game ball has won the second start winning ball opening 16 and the detection signals are input from the first start winning ball detection sensors 42 and 43 is set. The determination table is changed to a determination table disadvantageous to the player (step S4).

  For example, in a normal state, an opening condition that is advantageous to a player who has an opening time of 1 second and an opening number of 2 times is selected as the opening condition of the variable winning device 13 when a game ball wins the second start winning opening 16. The determination table for the normal state with a probability of 4/5, the opening time 1 second, and the probability of selecting an unfavorable opening condition for the player with 1 opening time is 1/5, the opening time 1 second, the opening number The probability that an open condition advantageous to two players is selected is 1/5, and the probability that an open condition unfavorable to a player with an open time of 1 second and an open number of times is 4/5 is specified. Change to the state determination table.

  In addition, after a specific state occurs, a game ball is won in the first start winning holes 14 and 15, and the first start win is input each time a first start win is input from the first start winning ball detection sensors 42 and 43. A process of counting up the winning counter is incremented by 1 (step S5). That is, in this example, the end condition for the specific state is a case where a predetermined number (100) of game balls have won from the start of the specific state to the first start winning openings 14, 15, and the predetermined number of game balls wins. The process of counting is performed.

Then, it is determined whether or not the first start winning number has reached a predetermined number (step S6). If the predetermined number has not been reached, a standby state is maintained until the predetermined number is reached.
That is, in the specific state transition processing, processing for monitoring whether the end condition is satisfied after the specific state occurs is performed.

When the first start winning number reaches a predetermined number, the determination table in the lottery of the open condition triggered by the winning of the game ball to the first starting winning ports 14 and 15 is changed to the above-described normal determination table. Return (step S7), the determination table in the lottery of the release condition triggered by the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening 16 is returned to the above-described normal determination table (step S8).
Then, the count value of the start winning number counter is cleared (step S9), the process is ended, and the state again waits for the winning of the game ball to the second starting winning port 16.
In addition, when it will be in a specific state by the above-mentioned specific state transfer process, it is preferable to alert | report that it is in a specific state with display apparatuses, such as an LED display device formed on the game board 3, for example. .

Next, the determination table set as described above, that is, the release condition selection process corresponding to the winning probability of each release condition will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
Here, in the specific state, the probability that the release condition unfavorable to the player is selected is advantageous to the player only when the game ball wins one of the two first start winning ports 14 and 15. The open condition is set higher than the probability of being selected.
That is, only one of the plurality of first start winning openings 14, 15 is advantageous to the player.

Then, the selection of the first start winning port 14, 15 which is advantageous to the player among the left and right first start winning ports 14, 15 is performed when a game ball wins the second start winning port 16, for example. It has come to be.
