し、通常の遊技状態に復帰する。 In addition, by converting the variable winning device to the second state, the winning batted balls received from the ball passing port into the variable winning device are sorted into general winning balls or continuous winning balls, and if certain conditions are met. When one cycle is completed until the conversion operation of the ball receiving member is completed, if there is a ball that has been sorted into continuous winning balls, the variable winning device is converted to the second state again and the special game is played. The cycle in is updated. If this cycle update condition is not met or a predetermined number of times (for example, 16
At the end of the cycle (times), the special game ends and the normal game state returns.

で当該サイクルを終了させる構成となつている。 In addition, in a pachinko machine with general game content, a predetermined time elapses from the start of the cycle (for example, the conversion time of the movable member reaches 30 seconds, or the intermittent conversion of the movable member is performed every 3 seconds). The number of winning balls reaches 10 times) and the number of winning balls to the variable winning device reaches a predetermined number are the cycle end conditions, respectively, and the cycle ends when either of the earliest conditions is met. It is structured as follows.

いる。 In the conventional general variable winning device, a plurality of channels are provided to guide the winning balls received from the ball passage opening, and at least one channel is used as a channel for continuous winning ball delivery. The structure is such that continuous winning balls and general winning balls can be sorted by each flow path, and each flow path can be individually equipped with a detector, or only the output path where all the flow paths are merged. By installing a detector, all winning balls that have won in the variable winning device can be detected, and by installing a continuation detector only in the continuous winning ball flow path, continuous winning balls can be detected separately. It's becoming possible.

から当該打球の検出までにはタイムラグが生じて
しまう。<Problem that the invention aims to solve> However, the channel that derives the winning batted ball using the natural flow of the batted ball inevitably requires a slight difference in height, and generally continuous detection is not possible. The detector is installed on the upstream side and the general detector is installed on the downstream side, and the winning balls that have passed through the continuation detector pass through the general detector again, so the continuous winning balls will not become the general winning balls. There is a time lag before it is detected. There is also a variable winning device that is configured such that the time it takes for a batted ball accepted by the variable winning device to reach the continuation detector is approximately equal to the time it takes for the ball to reach a general detector. Even in such a variable winning device, since the received batted ball is once rectified and guided to each detector, a time lag occurs from the winning of a batted ball to the detection of the batted ball.

従つて、当該継続検出器を通過した入賞打球が
サイクル終了条件を満たす所定個数目の入賞球で

ことができなかつた。 Therefore, even if the winning batted ball that passes through the continuation detector is the predetermined number of winning balls that satisfy the cycle end conditions, the continuous winning ball will be counted in the number of winning balls to the variable winning device, and the variable winning ball will be counted as a winning ball. Before returning the device to the first state, there is a possibility that several extra winning balls will be accepted into the variable winning device, making it impossible to play a pachinko game in accordance with proper rules.

る。<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention was proposed in view of the above, and it is possible to change a preset specific game state (for example, a combination prize mode of variable display members 22, 23, 24) during a game. Specific game state detection means (for example, rotating display members 22, 23, 24
(a prize mode detection mechanism consisting of a light guiding section 31..., a light emitting member 45..., and a light receiving member 46...) and the detection signal from the specific game state detection means. In a pachinko machine 1 having a variable prize winning device 14 that accepts a batted ball after converting from a first state to a second state advantageous to the player, the variable winning device 14 has a ball passage opening provided in the mounting board 11. 47, and a ball receiving member 48 provided corresponding to the ball passage hole 47 and convertible between the first state and the second state.
The balls received from the ball passing port 47 are transferred to a plurality of winning areas (for example, from the passages 56, 57, 58 to the detection ports of the detectors 59, 59, 61), which are closely formed in the vicinity of the ball passing port 47. (space between)
and a plurality of detectors (for example, ball counting detectors 59, 59 and continuous detector 61) disposed in each of the plurality of winning areas. The plurality of detectors 59, 59, 61 are arranged substantially on the same plane, and the detectors 59, 5
At least one of the detectors 9 and 61 serves as a continuation detector 61, and the continuation detector 61 sends out a continuation detection signal, and the detection signals from all these detectors 59, 59, and 61 are sent to the variable winning device 14. This signal is used as a ball counting signal for winning batted balls that flow into the ball.

ができる。<Function> The winning batted ball received into the variable winning device from the ball passage hole is distributed by the distribution means to one of a plurality of winning areas formed closely in the vicinity of the ball passing opening, and a winning ball is distributed to each winning area by the distribution means. Some of the multiple detectors arranged on the same plane are turned on, and the water flows downstream. Therefore, the detection signal output from the detector turned on as described above is quickly sent out immediately after the winning batted ball is accepted by the variable winning device. In addition, when a winning batted ball turns on the continuation detector, the electric control device simultaneously processes the normal detection signal and the continuation detection signal using one detection signal output from the continuation detector. Therefore, it is possible to immediately distinguish between general winning balls and continuous winning balls in the variable winning device.

Furthermore, when the continuation detector 61 is turned on, the winning batted ball counting signal and the continuation detection signal are simultaneously output to the electrical control device 8, so the continuation detector for detecting the continuous winning balls is placed on the upstream side. At the same time, as in the conventional batted ball winning device, in which a detector is separately placed on the downstream side to detect the continuous winning ball as a winning ball to the variable winning ball, the continuous winning ball causes the continuous winning ball to detect the continuous winning ball as a winning ball to the variable winning device. After the continuation detection signal is input,
There is no need for an appropriate delay time until the ball counting signal based on the continuous winning balls is output from the detector. Therefore, the electrical control device 8 can quickly detect the winning ball occurrence information and the continuous winning ball occurrence information into the variable winning winning device 14.

くなるようなケースを無くすことができる。<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, the batted balls received from the ball passage hole are quickly distributed by the distribution means, and the plurality of winning areas into which the batted balls are distributed are closely spaced in the vicinity of the ball passage hole. By arranging the detectors for detecting the winning balls in each winning area on almost the same plane, when the ball receiving member is converted to the second state, the ball passing opening This makes it possible to quickly detect a ball that has been accepted by one of the detectors. Therefore, a plurality of detectors may be provided separately on the upstream and downstream sides of a plurality of channels, or the ball may be rectified once and then guided to the back side of the game board to detect a hit ball. Like conventional variable winning devices, there are variations in the time required from when a batted ball is accepted into the variable winning device until a detection signal is output from any of the detectors, and the generally allowable delay time It is possible to eliminate cases where the length is significantly longer than that of the previous one.

とができる。 In addition, when a winning batted ball turns on the continuation detector, one detection signal output from the continuation detector is used to send the normal detection signal and the continuation detection signal to the electrical connection device in the punchco machine. Since we have adopted a configuration in which they are processed at the same time, it is possible to immediately distinguish between general winning balls and continuous winning balls in the variable winning device, and for continuous winning balls, there is a detector for ball counting signal output, a detector for continuous signal output, and a detector for continuous winning balls. There is no need to provide a separate one. Therefore, in the conventional method, a continuation detector for detecting continuous winning balls is placed on the upstream side, and a detector is separately placed on the downstream side for detecting the continuous winning balls as winning balls for the variable winning device. Like the batted ball winning device, after the continuation detection signal is output from the continuation detector by the continuation winning ball,
There is no need for an appropriate delay time until the ball counting signal based on the continuous winning balls is output from the detector, and information on the occurrence of winning balls and continuous winning balls in the variable winning device can be quickly detected. It can be output.

回避できるのである。 Furthermore, since all the detection signals output from each detector as described above are used as signals for counting the winning batted balls, the continuous winning ball is the last winning ball that satisfies the end conditions of one cycle in the special game. Even in the event of a winning ball, this continuous winning ball is counted as a winning ball to prevent more balls from being accepted into the variable winning device before the cycle end condition is determined by the pachinko machine. can. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a winning batted ball that should not originally be accepted is accepted into the variable winning device within the delay time required until the detection signal is output.

The number of winning balls accepted into the variable winning device that has been converted to the second state can be quickly counted, and the presence or absence of continuous winning balls can be quickly detected, so the cycle can be updated and terminated in special games using the variable winning device. It becomes possible to quickly determine the conditions and play an appropriate game.
