Abstract

PURPOSE:To heighten the taste of a game by transmitting the passage of a prize ball in a video or voice corresponding to respective prize port when it is sensed. CONSTITUTION:An information display panel 3 and a voice transmission speaker 4 are loaded at the front of a machine frame 2 supporting a game board 1, and a transparent glass plate 5 is stretched at the front of the game board 1, and a large number of obstruction nails 6 and plural fluctuation prize ports and prize ports 7 are arranged on the game board 1. Those prize ports are provided with conduits 8 for prize ball dropping, respectively, and contactless switches are arranged at the conduits 8, When the contactless switch is operated by the passage of the prize ball, required information stored in a computer unit are drawn out from a large number of memories, and a desired image is displayed on the information display panel 3, or it is vocalized from the speaker 4. Also, it can be obtained by depressing a desired key out of functional keys instead of the contactless switch.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention not only displays information that gives a player a sense of satisfaction when winning a prize while playing a game as video or audio, but also provides necessary information regarding the game and other matters. This is an information transmission device in pachinko machines etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional gaming machines such as pachinko machines had posters drawn on the game board and flashing miniature light bulbs to increase the interest of the game.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the posters on the board and the blinking lamps are patterned and there is little variation, and the necessary information corresponding to each individual game machine cannot be provided to the player. could not be provided.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, the present invention provides the following:
An information display panel or an audio transmission speaker is attached to the front of the machine frame that holds the pachinko game board, and preferably the information display panel and the audio transmission speaker are installed side by side, and the information display panel or the audio transmission speaker is installed side by side. A speaker, etc. transmits necessary information to the player in the form of an image or sound by a signal from a proximity switch that is activated when a winning ball passes through a conduit, or by pressing a button on a funk button operated by a player or administrator. It is something.

Operation: When the winning ball passes through the conduit, a proximity switch attached to the conduit is activated to emit a signal, or alternatively, the player and administrator select and press a desired key on the funkshidan key. Accordingly, the necessary information in the computer unit is transmitted to the player via a panel display driver or an audio transmitter, or through an information display panel or speaker attached to the front of the holder frame of the pachinko game board.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko machine, in which an information display panel 3 and an audio transmission speaker 4 are attached to the front of a machine frame 2 that holds a game board 1. As shown in FIG. 2, a transparent glass plate 5 is covered, and on the game board 1, a large number of obstacle nails 6, a plurality of variable winning openings, and a winning lower are arranged. The mouth and the winning lower each have a conduit 8 through which the winning balls fall, and the conduit 8 is provided with a proximity switch (not shown).

When the proximity switch is actuated by the passage of a winning ball, the actuation signal is sent via a conventionally known pachinko controller to retrieve necessary information from a large number of memories stored in the computer unit as shown in FIG. A desired image is displayed on the information display panel 3 via a panel display driver, or amplified by a speaker 4 from the computer unit via an audio converter.

In addition, instead of the signal from the proximity switch, when the player or administrator presses a desired function key, the desired signal is sent to the information display panel 3 or the speaker 4 to provide necessary information to the player. can be transmitted.

Effects of the Invention In the present invention, different information corresponding to each variable winning hole and winning hole is transmitted to the player in the form of video or audio by the signal caused by the passing of the winning ball. It is possible to increase interest and obtain a large amount of information by receiving videos and other information, and by operating function keys, it is possible to obtain a wide variety of necessary information in a timely manner. This increases the player's interest and allows him or her to enjoy the satisfaction of playing the game.
