た。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional pachinko machine described above, the winning probability of a batted ball that enters the variable winning device is set to a predetermined value in advance due to the structure of the variable winning device. However, since the direction of the ball that enters the variable winning device changes in a wide variety of ways, winning a prize in the continuous winning hole is often due to chance, and it is difficult to efficiently hit the ball into the continuous winning hole. It was almost impossible for me to win a prize.

ランスを図りながら、遊技者に利益拡大のサービ
スを施すことができなくなつたり、又、遊技者に
とつても利益率が低下してしまい、変化に乏しい
遊技内容となつてしまうという問題点があつた。 Therefore, while trying to maintain a balance between profits between the game parlor and the players, the game parlor will no longer be able to provide services to increase profits to the players, and the profit margin will decline for the players as well. However, the problem was that the game content lacked variety.

装置に打球が流入し難く釘を調節してしまつたの
で、興趣に乏しいパチンコ機となつてしまうの
で、その調整範囲も極く限られるという問題点が
ある。 Furthermore, in game parlors, since it is not possible to adjust the winning probability of the balls that flow into the variable winning device into the continuous winning slot, the only option is to control the ball that flows into the variable winning device by adjusting the nails around it. Ta. However, if the adjustment of the nails is an indirect adjustment, it is difficult to carry out the adjustment, and moreover, the nails are adjusted because it is difficult for the ball to flow into the variable prize winning device, resulting in an uninteresting pachinko machine. However, there is a problem in that the adjustment range is extremely limited.

状態から第１の状態に変換されたときに、同時に
開戸３４を閉状態から開状態に変換するものとす
る。 Various conditions can be considered as special conditions for changing the opening door 34 from the closed state to the open state. For example, as one of them, first, the variable prize winning device 8 is converted from the second state to the first state. At the same time, the swing door 34 is changed from the closed state to the open state.

し、戻しバネ３６の付勢に抗して左右の開戸３４
を前方に向つて押し開き、開戸３４を閉状態から
開状態に変換する。 That is, when a hit ball is detected by the winning detector described above, the electric control device 11 excites the electromagnetic solenoid 38 for the opening/closing mechanism. When the electromagnetic solenoid 38 for the opening/closing mechanism is excited, the actuator 3
9, the pressing part 40 presses the back surface of the swing door 34, and the left and right swing doors 34 are pressed against the bias of the return spring 36.
is pushed open forward to convert the swing door 34 from the closed state to the open state.

開戸３４が開状態となると、左右の開戸３４は
中央から左右外向きに一定角度だけ略ハの字形に
開いて、開戸３４の各内側面３４′の対向間隔を
底部２７の傾斜下端に向つて徐々に幅狭なものと
する。 When the door 34 is in the open state, the left and right doors 34 open outward from the center to the left and right in a substantially V-shape, and the opposing distance between the inner surfaces 34' of the door 34 is adjusted to the lower sloped end of the bottom 27. The width should gradually become narrower toward .

なるが落し開口部３１に落ち込まなかつた他の一
部の打球は開戸３４に達する。 Therefore, since the door 34 is in the open state, a part of the ball rolling on the bottom 27 falls into the drop opening 31 of the bottom 27 and passes through the drop opening 31 to collect on the back side of the game board 5. Some other batted balls that are released into the gutter and become winning balls but do not fall into the drop opening 31 reach the opening door 34.

て、開戸３４が開くと、継続入賞口２９への打球
の入賞確率が飛躍的に向上する。 That is, the ball that rolls along the left and right inner surfaces of the lower space 20b passes through the left and right edges 32, 32 of the drop opening 31 and rolls on the bottom 27 as it is. This hit ball contacts the outer end of the inner surface 34' of the opening door 34, rolls along the inner surface 34', and moves from the inner end of the inner surface 34' opened toward the center of the bottom 27 to the bottom. 27, and most of it flows down to the continuation prize opening 29 in the center.
In this way, the opening door 34 has a function of regulating the rolling direction of the batted ball in the open state and giving directionality to the batted ball so that it rolls toward a specific winning hole. The probability that a batted ball will flow into the continuous winning hole 29 is increased by moving the ball closer to the center side. Therefore, when the door 34 opens, the winning probability of the ball hitting the continuous winning hole 29 increases dramatically.

尚、極く僅かな数の打球は、中央の継続入賞口
２９の左右に並設された一般入賞口３０に流入

樋に直接放出されて入賞球となる。 In addition, a very small number of batted balls flow into the general winning openings 30 arranged in parallel on the left and right sides of the central continuous winning opening 29, and are directly released into the collecting gutter on the back side of the game board 5 through the general winning openings 30. It becomes the winning ball.

を排出する。 When the hit ball enters the continuous winning hole 29, it is detected by a detector serving as a special ball detection means, and the electric control device 11 repeatedly (for example, 18 times) changes the variable winning device 8 from the second state to the first state. state, or the first state for a predetermined period of time (e.g. 30
A prize ball discharge device (not shown) is operated in response to the winning batted ball to discharge a predetermined number of prize balls.

口に流下する。 Further, when both movable pieces 21 are opened or closed, the ball that rides on each movable piece 21 is transmitted through the gap generated between the inner end surface of both movable pieces 21 and the front outer surface of decorative part 25. It continues to fall downward and flows into either the continuous winning opening 29 or the general winning opening 30.

ソレノイド３８を消磁する。 Therefore, if the continuation condition in which the batted ball enters the continuation winning hole 29 is achieved, both movable pieces 21 repeat the required number of times to convert from the second state to the first state,
The first state is continued for the required time, and the door 34 is also maintained in the open state. Conversely, when the continuation condition is not achieved, the electrical control device 11 demagnetizes the electromagnetic solenoid 23 and the electromagnetic solenoid 38 for the opening/closing mechanism based on preset conditions.

した位置で停止する。 When the electromagnetic solenoid 23 is demagnetized, the spring 23' of the electromagnetic solenoid 23 is biased to convert both movable pieces 21 into a second upright state as shown by solid lines in FIG. When the electromagnetic solenoid 38 for the opening/closing mechanism is demagnetized, the electromagnetic solenoid 38 is biased by the spring 38'.
Since the pressing part 40 is pulled back away from the back surface of the opening door 34, the opening door 34 is converted into a closed state by the urging of the return spring 36 so as to close the middle of the slope of the bottom part 27 of the lower space part 20b. Note that the swinging door 34 stops at a position where the back surface of the swinging door 34 comes into contact with the front surface of the pressing part 40.

次に、前記した開戸３４を開閉するため特別条
件を他の条件に設定した場合について説明する。 Next, a case will be described in which the special conditions are set to other conditions for opening and closing the above-mentioned opening door 34.

この特別条件は、例えば継続条件が達成された
継続動作中に、両可動片２１に受止められて変動

閉動作の回数がｎ回（例えば10回）を過ぎるか、
若しくは両条件のいずれか先に達成された条件に
従い、開戸３４を閉状態から開状態に変換するよ
うにする。 This special condition is, for example, whether the total number of general winning balls received by both movable pieces 21 and won by the variable winning device 8 reaches n (for example, 5 balls) during the continuous operation when the continuous condition is achieved. , or the number of opening and closing operations of the movable piece 21 exceeds n times (for example, 10 times),
Alternatively, the door 34 is converted from the closed state to the open state according to whichever of the two conditions is achieved first.

賞口２９に入賞することを条件とし、継続入賞口
２９に入賞したならば、１サイクルの途中であつ
ても、直ちにそのサイクルが停止されて次のサイ
クルに移行することゝする。 For example, as a continuation end condition, the variable prize winning device 8 is activated for a predetermined period of time (for example, 0.7 seconds).
Both movable pieces 34 are moved a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 times).
The operation is terminated according to the condition that is achieved first, either by repeating to convert from the second state to the first state, or the total number of general winning balls during the repeated operation reaches 10, whichever is achieved first. , this is regarded as one cycle, and when the number of repetitions of the cycle reaches a certain number (maximum 8 cycles), all continuous operations are terminated. And, as a condition for starting the next cycle during continuous operation, the condition is that the batted ball enters the continuous winning hole 29 during one cycle, and if the ball enters the continuous winning hole 29, then during one cycle Even if this happens, the cycle will be immediately stopped and the next cycle will begin.

即ち、所定回数（18回）の途中で打球が継続入
賞口２９に入ると、所定回数（18回）の残り回数
に拘らず新たに所定回数（18回）を１回、２回…
とカウントする。 In other words, if the ball enters the continuation winning slot 29 during the predetermined number of times (18 times), the new predetermined number of times (18 times) will be played once, twice, etc., regardless of the remaining number of times of the predetermined number of times (18 times).
and count.

このように、１サイクルの初期に打球が継続入
賞口２９に入つてしまうと、直ちに次回のサイク
ルへ移行してしまうので、入賞球の発生が少な
く、結局、出球の数が減少してしまう。 In this way, if a batted ball enters the continuation winning hole 29 at the beginning of one cycle, it will immediately move to the next cycle, so fewer winning balls will occur, and the number of balls that will come out will eventually decrease. .

そのため、先のように開戸３４を開状態に変換

に達したことを条件としたものであり、他の条件
も同様の目的から設定されたものであり、この条
件に従えば、入賞球の発生を多くしながら、且つ
継続動作を最終回まで継続させて行なわせること
ができるので、必然的に遊技者の賞球獲得数が多
くなり実用的な制御となる。 Therefore, as mentioned above, the condition for converting the door 34 to the open state is that the total number of general winning balls has reached n, and other conditions are also set for the same purpose. If this condition is followed, it is possible to increase the number of winning balls and to make the continuous action continue until the final round, which naturally increases the number of winning balls that the player obtains. This provides practical control.

即ち、継続動作の初期においては、開戸３４が

ね返されて落し開口部３１に落ち込む。従つて、
両可動片２１により凹室２０内に導びかれた打球
は、全て落し開口部３１を通つて入賞球となる。 That is, at the beginning of the continuous operation, since the opening door 34 is in the closed state, the batted ball guided to the upper space 20a falls from the opening 26 at the inclined lower end of the partition plate 24 and enters the lower space. It is received at the bottom 27 of 20b. The batted ball caught by the bottom 27 is
It rolls due to the downward slope of the bottom part 27, and most of it is
A ball that falls straight into the drop opening 31 and passes through the edge 32 of the drop opening 31 also falls into the opening 34.
Since the front is blocked by the door, it is bounced off the back side of the door 34 and falls into the drop opening 31. Therefore,
All of the batted balls guided into the concave chamber 20 by both movable pieces 21 pass through the drop opening 31 and become winning balls.

そして、落し開口部３１を通つて入賞球となつ
た打球及び両可動片２１の開閉時の隙間から下方
に落下して、一般入賞口３０に入つて入賞球とな
つた打球の合計数がｎ個（例えば５個）に達した
ならば、開戸３４が閉状態から開状態に変換す
る。 Then, the total number of batted balls that passed through the drop opening 31 and became winning balls and those that fell downward through the gap when both movable pieces 21 were opened and closed, entered the general winning opening 30, and became winning balls was n. When the number of openings reaches (for example, five), the door 34 changes from the closed state to the open state.

このため、開戸３４が開状態となると、凹室２
０内に導びかれた打数の内、落し開口部３１の縁
部３２を通過した打球は、開戸３４の内側面３
４′に導びかれて、高い確率で継続入賞口３０に
そのまゝ流入し、継続条件を達成することができ
る。 Therefore, when the door 34 is in the open state, the concave chamber 2
Among the number of batted balls that are guided into the zero, the batted ball that passes through the edge 32 of the drop opening 31 hits the inner surface 3 of the sliding door 34.
4', the winnings will flow directly into the continuation prize opening 30 with a high probability, and the continuation conditions can be achieved.

継続入賞口２９に入賞し易くなる。 FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the ball guiding means, and the ball guiding means of this embodiment is located in the middle of the slope of the bottom 27 of the lower space 20b constituting the ball guiding path. It is composed of a pair of relatively short triangular prism-shaped guide pieces 44 having inclined side surfaces 43 that are inclined from both sides toward the center.
is located in front of the drop opening 31. Therefore,
The ball that has passed through the edges 32 on both sides of the drop opening 31 is guided by the inclined side surface 43 of the guiding piece 44 and is brought to the center, and the ball that rolls on the bottom 27 enters the winning hole 29 relatively continuously. It becomes easier.
