The ball drawing mechanism that following diagrammatic illustration is above-mentioned.
Disposing ball dish 9 as the ball whereabouts portion that ball 2 is fallen successively on the top of gamespace.And, disposing the ball draw-out device 11 that can from a plurality of balls 2 that ball dish 9 falls, extract a ball 2 at the middle part of gamespace.Disposing base plate (ball accumulates portion) 13 in the bottom of gamespace, it has can accumulate ball 2 that directly falls from ball dish 9 without ball draw-out device 11 and the structure of passing through the ball of ball draw-out device 11 at an upper portion thereof.Accumulate the center of portion 13 at this ball, for the ball sequence number that reads the ball 2 that extracts by ball draw-out device 11 be provided with under the ball draw-out device 11 protuberance, as frusto-conical give prominence to the reading device 17 that forms.And outer alley 18 as second ball path is being set in the upper end of reading device 17.
On the other hand, above-mentioned lifting column 15 will be trapped in the ball 2 that ball accumulates in the portion 13 as the ball conveyer and be transported to ball dish 9 along the outer peripheral face of hexagon barrel member 3a.
According to said structure, the a plurality of balls 2 that hold in the gamespace in the hexagon barrel member 3a, along with the carrying out of recreation, from the top (eminence) of gamespace to the middle part, downward portion (lower) falls from the middle part, and return to top from the bottom, so in the interior outer circulation of gamespace.If the ball 2 that outer circulation in gamespace is extracted out by ball withdrawing device 11, reading device 17 is caught and be directed into to the ball of being extracted out 2 by outer alley 18.Like this, the ball 2 that is guided reading device 17 is read after its ball sequence number by described reading device 17, advances to ball and accumulates portion 13.Then, deliver to ball dish 9 again and do same circulation by lifting column 15 as previously mentioned with other balls 2.
Describe the concrete structure of these structures below in detail.
It is discoid that ball dish 9 is flat basin type, and its inner surface becomes the part of sphere.Described ball dish 9 is fixed on the cover plate 3c of main body 3 by a plurality of legs 91.Ball dish 9 is made of transparent plastic, so that the player externally watches the motion of the ball 2 that enters wherein.Penetrate the through hole 9h (seeing Figure 10 etc.) that ball 2 falls in the bottom of this ball dish 9.Thus, ball dish 9 plays a part ball and falls portion.
As among Figure 11 particularly as shown in Figure 11 (B), on the inner surface of ball dish 9, lifting column 15,15 oblique being provided with that face toward adjacency make the ball 2 that is shipped by lifting column 15 describe ball moving direction control panel 9b, the 9b that circular arc arrives through hole 9h like that along ball dish 9 inner surfaces.Described ball moving direction control panel 9b is fixed with the state that hangs down from cover plate 3c.The front end (lower end) of ball moving direction control panel 9b does not contact and leaves slightly with ball dish 9 inner surfaces.At Figure 11 (B) though in expression be arranged to make their subtend face 9b to be parallel to each other each ball moving direction control panel 9b, also can image pattern 11 (B) in the ball moving direction control panel 9b that a side is set shown in two chain-dotted lines like that.
Under ball dish 9, hang down by cover plate 3c and to pass the strut of through hole 9h from main body 3, the guide way 19 (seeing Fig. 1～Fig. 7 etc.) of propeller-like is being set.Guide way 19 is members of the track of its ball 2 of being touched of randomly changing, in about 3～4 one-tenth celestial spheres 24 that are housed in ball withdrawing device 11 of ball 2.All fall the track in all that obtain the ball 2 that falls from the through hole 9h of ball dish 9, making ball 2 drop to point under the described through hole 9h is the track that falls in the certain limit at center, corresponding to " specific fall track ".Disposing described ball draw-out device 11 in the track in this specific falling, particularly as the celestial sphere 24 of its inscape.
The basic structure of ball draw-out device 11 comprises: day bulb, contain the celestial sphere 24 that probability with regulation receives the ball 2 that falls from ball dish 9; As the interior alley 21 of the first ball path (containing) as the prerotation vane described later 39 of catching portion, be used for extracting a ball 2 from the ball 2 that receives at celestial sphere 24, haunt the ball 2 that extracts side by side and make it turn back to described ball at last to accumulate portion 13; Make celestial sphere 24 shake (inclination) or rotate the pitch drives portion in a week.The following describes the detailed structure of bulb these days, interior alley 21 and pitch drives portion.
It bulb comprises: as the celestial sphere 24 of ball maintaining part, be disposed in ball dish 9 through hole 9h under so that can receive from ball dish 9 fallen balls 2, be that the surface makes the dome-type container of top (top in the state shown in Figure 1) opening of sphere within it; The extension of an end separately of being fixed on 180 ° two positions of being separated by on the excircle of the edge of opening 24e of celestial sphere 24 ends portion 25,25 (seeing Fig. 1～Fig. 7 and Figure 10); Run through near the axle 27 that each is hung the other end that ends portion 25,25 and is fixed, be used for the shaft column 29,29 at ground free to rotate back shaft 27 two ends; And be arranged on balanced device 22w on the described other end that hang to end in the portion 25,25.
Pitch drives portion comprises: near the drive motor 31 of root that is arranged on the pillar 29 on right side among Fig. 4, in this right side pillar 29, be connected across the rotating shaft 31s and the driving-belt 33 of axle between 27 of celestial sphere drive motor 31, and near angle of rotation in being arranged on the upper end of left side pillar 29 among Fig. 4, that be used to detect axle 27 is the encoder 35 of the position of celestial sphere 24.
By described pitch drives portion 22, make celestial sphere 24 on two rotation directions that with axle 27 are the center, in certain angular range, shake (inclination) from origin position shown in Figure 1, and timing according to the rules constantly, make near the part the celestial sphere 24 edge 24e among the celestial sphere 24 inner surface 24i, do the once rotation of more tilting and turn back to initial position than horizontal level.So a series of shaking in the process, detect the position (inclination angle) of celestial sphere 24 all the time by encoder 35.
As Fig. 1～Fig. 7, Fig. 9, Figure 10 and shown in Figure 22 as the critical piece axonometric drawing, as point-symmetric central point, two interior alleys 21 are installed with respect to axle 27 with described center of curvature C.And alley 21 comprises in each: 3 pitman 21s, 21s, 21s, one end are fixed on the described center of curvature C on the axle 27, and do radial and extend with identical opening angle α (see figure 5) to radial direction; 3 annular component 21r, 21r, 21r are positioned at the state that is fixed on these pitmans 21s, 21s, the 21s other end on the extended line of this pitman 21s, 21s, 21s, and its internal diameter is slightly greater than the diameter of ball 2; And 3 curved post 21p, 21p, 21p, be used to connect the same circumference direction position of these three annular construction member 21r, 21r, 21r.One (following this curved post 21p is for conveniently being called " bent post 21P ") among these 3 curved post 21p, 21p, the 21p, connect from axle 27 position farthest each annular construction member 21r, 21r, 21r's, and 90 ° of positions of locating of other two the described bent post 21P of the distance at each annular construction member 21r, 21r, 21r connect.These 3 curved post 21p, 21p, 21p (21P) any all make its center of curvature consistent with the center of curvature C of celestial sphere 24 inner surface 24i.
According to said structure, interior alley 21 zonings become the ball path s (seeing Figure 22) as the inner space of the both ends open by a ball that is formed by curved post 21p21p21p (21P).This ball path s extends along the bent post 21P that is positioned at outermost radial outside in its curved post 21p21p21p (21P).This song post 21P has concentric and identical or close with the radius of curvature of celestial sphere 24 radius of curvature of inner surface 24i (seeing Fig. 3, Fig. 4) with celestial sphere 24.Thereby interior alley 21 is configured on the extended line of perimeter surface in the celestial sphere 24 and the shaking on the direction of celestial sphere 24, we can say that also the limit 24p of described celestial sphere is on the extended line of bent post 21P simultaneously.
In annular construction member 21r21r21r, be fixed on the celestial sphere 24 by not shown Screw with the annular construction member 21r of celestial sphere 24 adjacency.Thereby interior alley 21 becomes one with celestial sphere 24.At this this shape member 21r (being arranged in the annular construction member of the limit 24p side of celestial sphere 24), particularly as shown in Fig. 3 and Figure 22, be folded back into fairlead 39a～39c that the crochet hook shape is caught portion as front end, so that its front end is installed with 3 towards the state of the limit 24p side of celestial sphere 24.
Each fairlead 39a～39c, a near ball 2 from rolling to its edge of opening 24e the limit 24p of celestial sphere 24 is only caught in the inclination of the celestial sphere 24 that causes along with pitch drives portion 22, and follows the further tilt release ball 2 of celestial sphere 24 and in directing among the ball path s of alley 21.Promptly as shown in Figure 22, each fairlead 39a～39c comprise the opening edge 24e that is connected to celestial sphere 24 and the bottom side fairlead 39a that disposes and on vertical both sides of described bottom side fairlead 39a with the left side fairlead 39b and the right side fairlead 39c of bottom side fairlead 39a arranged perpendicular, only between them, form space by a ball 2.Each fairlead 39a～39c makes key shape at its front end and turns back laterally.Thereby, the front end of bottom side fairlead 39a, its part of turning back is left the inner surface 24i certain distance of ball 24.This distance measurements can make the ball 2 that touches on the celestial sphere 24 inner surface 24i can enter 1/3 degree in the space between each fairlead 39a～39c.
Thereby, if the inclination that makes celestial sphere 24 that causes along with pitch drives portion 22, from near the limit 24p of celestial sphere 24 in the ball 2 that its opening edge 24e rolls out enters into a space between this each fairlead 39a～c, the ball 2 that then enters can not be crossed bottom side fairlead 39a, and owing to be subjected to restriction from left side fairlead 39b and right side fairlead 39c to the horizontal motion of (circumferencial direction of celestial sphere 24), so this ball 2 becomes the state of the front end that is maintained at these each fairlead 39a～39c.Thereby ball that other balls 2 are being held 2 stops the space that enters between each fairlead 39a～c, rolls on the next door of fairlead 39b and right side fairlead 39c to the left and become at opening edge 24e.This state that keeps a ball 2 at the front end of each fairlead 39a～39c, further tilt at celestial sphere 24, and keep hanging down to opening edge 24e side and till whole balls 2 are all rolled out from opening edge 24e always up near the inclination of the 24 inner surface 24i of the celestial sphere the opening edge 24e (imaginary plane of the connection) level of crossing.Then, if cross level and become the low state that all rolls out to opening edge 24e side and all balls 2 from opening edge 24e from the inclination of the 24 inner surface 24i of the celestial sphere the opening edge 24e (imaginary plane of connection) near, celestial sphere 24 is if further tilt again, the ball 2 that then remains on each fairlead 39a～39c front end just enters on the fairlead 39a of bottom side, and alley 21 in being directed on the fairlead 39a of this bottom side.Like this, the ball 2 of alley 21 in being directed to is directed to its other end in interior alley 21, outside the other end of alley 21 falls in this in alley 18.
Its result only extracts a ball 2 out and drops on the outer alley 18, and other balls are then all fallen ball and accumulated in the portion 13.

The external diameter of each axial region 775b, 775c in the turning cylinder member 775 is the common diameter that equates, has the size that the friction of inserting alleviates member 788,803.Near the end of this axial region 775b, form circumferential groove 775g, than this circumferential groove 775g more near the 775f place, position of plate-like portion 775a, make axial region 775b become D tee section ground and cut into its surface plane.This axial region 775b is inserted in the central shaft hole of columnar driven pulley member 782 of the minor diameter 782a that forms the surface configuration with gear-like the one end near.After passing the driven pulley member 782 of such shape, in the circumferential groove 775g of axial region 775b, be bumped into the Detent fitting 784 of the C shape that is used to prevent that driven pulley member 782a from coming off.
Among each fixing hole 775d, the 775e of plate-like portion 775a in the turning cylinder member 775, inserting minor diameter 771a, 773a that the root at the cursor 771,773 of rod component forms respectively.Be formed with circumferential groove separately near the end of this small diameter portion 771a, 773a, be bumped into the C shape Detent fitting 776,777 that comes off and become flexible that is used to prevent cursor 771,773 respectively.
The front end of each cursor 771,773 is made into hemispherical respectively, is severed by the groove 771b, the 773b that form along axle simultaneously.In each groove 771b, 773b, be bumped into the discoidal roller member 772,774 thinner than the width of this groove.Be vertically formed screw hole (figure part omitted) with groove 771b, 773b near the front end of each cursor 771,773, each roller member 772,774 dependence is screwed into the screw 778,779 in the not shown screw hole and is supported by axle freely to rotate.If in this wise each roller member 772,774 is installed, then adjust each cursor 771,773 so that after each roller member 772,774 became level, each cursor 771,773 was promptly fixing by dog screw 780,781 rotating.
As mentioned above, the turning cylinder member 775 that each parts is installed is installed on the framework 786 again.At this moment, on the minor diameter 782a of driven pulley member 782, hang with the annular driving band 785 that has with the inner surface configuration of the surface configuration of its gear-like engagement in advance.Axial region 775b inserts in these parts by the order that dead eye 786d, friction alleviate member 788 (dead eye 787a), through hole 787b, then axial region 775c is injected friction and alleviates member 803.At last, axial region 775c is keeping the state that friction alleviates member 803 that inserts, driven pulley member 782 is slided into the front end of axial region 775b, is being connected to the 775f of cross section D shape portion that position that friction alleviates member 778 is fixed to this driven pulley member 782 by hold-down screw 783 axial region 775b.Like this, revolving member 775 just is erected between the upper plate portion 786a and lower board unit 786b of framework 786 free to rotately.
Near the central authorities of the lower board unit 786b of framework 786, be formed with at the long hole shape through hole 786f of its long axis direction towards dead eye 786d.Around the through hole 786f on the lower surface of this lower board unit 786b, fixing motor unit 791 by four groups of screw rods 792 and nut 797.Cursor drive motor 77a shown in Figure 26 is housed in this motor unit 791, under the state on the lower surface that is fixed on lower board unit 786b, makes the driving shaft 793 of this cursor drive motor 77a pass through hole 786f above-mentionedly.This driving shaft 793 makes its cross section become D shape ground to cut into its surface plane.Fixing the driving wheel member 794 identical shaped by the dog screw 795 of major axis on this driving shaft 793 with driven pulley member 782.This dog screw 795 also as illustrated in fig. 23, is given prominence to most from the outer surface of driving wheel member 794 under the state of fixing driving wheel member 794.Hang driving-belt 785 at the minor diameter 794a of driving wheel member 794.Driving-belt 785 is hung over after the small diameter portion 794a of driving wheel member 794, motor unit 791 integral body are slided along the long axis direction of slotted hole 786f, to adjust the tension force of this driving-belt 785.Be used to make described screw rod 792 to pass the through hole 786g of framework 786 lower board unit 786b, slide, be formed into the slotted hole shape parallel with through hole 786f in order to allow motor unit 791.
In the upper surface of the lower board unit 786b of framework 786, clip driving wheel member 794 and with the position of driven pulley member 782 relative sides on, fixing and be used to detect the Photo Interrupter 801 that whether passes through from the outstanding dog screw 795 of the circumferential surface of driving wheel member 794 by supporting 800.Screw 802 is used for this Photo Interrupter 801 is fixed to support 800.
On the lower surface of the lower board unit 786b of framework 786, also be fixed with the attached capacitor 796 of motor by screw 798.
In having the ball agitating device 77 of above structure, cursor drive motor 77a in the motor unit 791 watches when making clockwise direction and rotating from upper plate portion 786a side doing, the driving wheel member 794 that is installed on the driving shaft 793 is made unitary rotation, simultaneously, and driving wheel member 794 between hang with driving-belt 785 driven pulley member 782 also do equidirectional rotation.As a result, with turning cylinder member 775 and two cursors 771,773 that this driven pulley 782 becomes one, promptly make clockwise direction from upper plate portion 786a side and rotate.And rotate in the way at this, cursor 771 and 773 each be exposed in the skewed guide path 75 since grooving 13c and 13d.Even but when each cursor 771,773 exposes (giving prominence to) maximum in skewed guide path 75, the front end of these cursors 771,773 can cross-section fully skewed guide path 75 yet, but and the inclined-plane of opposite side between leave the space of a ball size.Thereby, invade ball 2 in the motion track of each cursor 771,773 by the upstream of bullet to skewed guide path 75, roll into lifting column 15 through 2 in ball outside the motion track of this cursor 771,773.At this moment, because two cursors 771,773 that have been arranged above and below, invade can be rebounded the reliably upstream of skewed guide path 75 of ball 2 in its moving area.
When once having a large amount of balls to flow near the lifting column 15, in skewed guide path 75, form the cross-over connection of ball 2, contain the ball obstruction of a plurality of balls 2 of other balls 2.; be pushed the upstream of getting back to skewed guide path 75 if be positioned at the ball 2 of the motion track of each cursor 771,773; then the balance of ball 2 is upset and when eliminating the cross-over connection of ball 2 (when promptly being stirred), the ball 2 of obstruction promptly is pushed the upstream of getting back to skewed guide path 75.During repeating such ball and pushing back, be rolled to lifting column 15 singly through the ball 2 outside the motion track of each cursor 771,773.During the stirring of carrying out such ball 2,, may consider also that each cursor 771,773 is stuck in the ball 2 and situation about stopping operating according to the situation of the obstruction aspect of ball 2.But, fine because the fore device of each cursor 771,773 has the roller member 772,774 that can freely rotate to the sliding of ball 2, so be difficult to take place this situation about being blocked by ball 2.
The rotation of driving wheel member 794 is because often by dog screw 795 and Photo Interrupter 801 monitoring, so when each cursor 771,773 is stuck in the ball 2 and stops, directly detect by the master control part 100 (seeing Figure 26) that receives Photo Interrupter 801 outputs, thereby carry out necessary processing.
Special as shown in Fig. 4 and Figure 10, lifting column 15 comprises: with the pillar 3b housing 15a of inner top cover board 3c together; A pair of belt pulley 15b, the 15b of the width axle supporting of this housing 15a near the inner upper end of this housing 15a and lower end near; Hang over this to the conveyer belt on belt pulley 15b, the 15b (transport unit) 15c; The lifting column drive motor 16 of belt pulley 15b by rotating band 15d rotating drive downside; For receiving the ball acceptance division 15r that on conveyer belt 15c surface, settles at certain intervals by the next ball 2 of skewed guide path 75 guidings; The ball 2 that will promote by conveyer belt 15c together with ball acceptance division 15r, the extractor 15o that ejects to ball dish 9 from the ball acceptance division 15r of the topmost (promptly higher slightly position) of lifting column 15 than the outward flange of ball dish 9.
As shown in Figure 12, described ball acceptance division 15r has the form of bifurcation that its front end is split up into two ends, keeps ball 2 on the notch 15f divided into two parts with this front end.Described extractor 15o after ball dish 9 ejects, owing to enter in the notch 15f, can not disturb the ball receiving unit 15 of coming that rises successively at ball 2 that the ball acceptance division 15 that will be risen compresses.Thus, constitute the carrying device of ball 2 being pushed repeatedly to ball dish 9.
As shown in Figure 4, on the lower surface (bottom surface) of the base portion 3d of main body 3, be respectively arranged with the mobile wheel 79 that is used for moving game device 1, and when game device 1 is set in the play place, for the balance that keeps game device 1 cooperates its depth of parallelism that place is set at the retractable pin 81 of vertical direction.

At this, utilize Figure 28 that the card table that launches on the RAM 152 is described.As shown in Figure 25, the matrix by this card table definition is 10 * 10 matrixes that the unit is formed.List item value corresponding to each unit in the card table is endowed expression separately by the (lateral attitude among Figure 25, x direction position, with 1 unit as the leftmost side) and the y direction position (lengthwise position among Figure 25, with 1 unit as the top side) unit number of the coordinate data (display position) formed, in this unit, write the numerical value (the arbitrary numerical value in 1 to 25 scope) of a byte that is set simultaneously.Also setting the byte status information of expression in each list item value corresponding to the present status of the unit of its list item value.First bit of this status information represents that this unit is for effectively (becoming the judgement object of prizing) when promptly the numerical value of setting in this unit shows on display 5m.Second bit represents that this unit is invalid (promptly the numerical value of setting in this unit does not show, not becoming simultaneously prizes judges object) on display 5m.The 3rd table of bits is shown in the numerical value of setting in this unit selected (promptly being notified by master control part 100 with the ball serial number information of the identical value of this numerical value).And the 4th bit is represented the numerical value of setting in this unit not selected as yet (promptly not notified by main control part 100 with the ball sequence number of the identical numerical value of this numerical value).The 5th bit represents that this unit is set the unit as the object of awarding a prize.The 6th bit represents that this unit is not set the unit as the object of awarding a prize.The the 7th and the 8th bit is not used to state and judges.
Figure 28 is not because the card table of A-stage of the numerical value of any unit is set in expression as yet, so only set that the x coordinate is 1～5, the y coordinate is 1～5 unit for effectively, all unit are all not selected as yet simultaneously, also are not set as awarding a prize object.
On the other hand, Figure 29 table of awarding a prize of representing on the RAM152 to be launched.As shown in figure 29, this table of awarding a prize is that storage has a plurality of conducts to award a prize object and the table of the unit number set combination.And only the combination of any unit number is set to effectively.In the combination of these each unit numbers, the variable ODDS2 that represents this multiple when being assigned with of awarding a prize is being set.The combination of each unit number is according to making the position of determining that becomes constellation corresponding to the position of the unit of these unit numbers.If the combination of setting any unit number is as awarding a prize object, then the 5th bit corresponding to the status information of these unit numbers of card table is set to " 1 ", and the 6th bit is set to " 0 ".
Figure 25 is illustrated in the display format of the display 5m when carrying out the Bingo game program in the sub-control portion 150 of this game table 5.At this moment, writing concrete numerical value in the numeric field of the card table of state shown in Figure 28, according to the award a prize setting of object unit (corresponding to the arrangement of Cassiopeia (Cas)) of the combination represented in the initial list item of the table of awarding a prize of Figure 29.
Turn back to Figure 27, metal coin receiver 151 detects the metal coin that drops into from coin slot 5t, drops into information to sub-control part 150 notice metal coin, and the input metal coin of keeping.When metal coin receiver 151 when sub-control portion 150 receives the pay warrant of metal coin, discharge metal coin from outlet corresponding to the respective numbers of pay warrant.
The following describes the contents processing of in having each circuit of said structure, carrying out.
At first, read the content that the master control part 100 performed controls of the control program that is stored among the ROM 102 of main body 3 are handled according to the flowchart text of Figure 30 and 31.
The processing of Figure 30 by to master control part 100 in addition main power source begin.In S001 at first, employed various variablees carried out initialization during 100 pairs of master control part were carried out and handled, and turned back to the original state of each mechanism in the main body 3 then.Specifically, master control part 100 is controlled celestial sphere drive motor 31 by to drive circuit 101 output control signals, makes celestial sphere 24 get back to origin position.Master control part 100 is checked the testing result that ball enters sensor 49, detects ball 2 if this ball enters sensor 49, and then to drive circuit 101 output control signals, control ball path controlling organization drive motor 44 is so that reading device 17 is discharged this ball 2.Its result, if the angle changing mechanism in the main body 3 turns back to original state, then master control part 100 control drive circuits 101 stop each motor.
Then at S002, master control part 100 is exported control signals to drive circuit 101, and makes celestial sphere drive motor 31 begin to wave celestial sphere 24.Thisly wave that to make celestial sphere 24 be that celestial sphere 24 rotated and a week turns back to initial point again after the center was done operation that about 20 ° (becoming the little angle of angle of level than surface (joint face) direction of the outward flange 24e near zone on the celestial sphere inner surface 24i) degree shake and repeated 4 times with the initial point.
At S003, master control part 100 sends to each game table 5 forbids the order of making a bet.This order of forbidding making a bet is to be used for sealing the order that the reception of Bingo game is next time made a bet at each game table 5.
At S004, master control part 100 is sent control command to drive circuit 101, makes cursor 771,773 begin to rotate by cursor drive motor 77a.
In S005, master control part 100 makes drive circuit 101 drive lifting column 15,15 (conveyer belt 15c is rotated to clockwise direction) within a certain period of time by two lifting column drive motors 16,16.This certain hour is to become 10 time altogether by ball 2 quantity that two lifting columns 15,15 pass out in the ball dish 9.Master control part 101 is stopping two lifting column drive motors 16,16 through behind this certain hour, and arm drive motor 77a also stops operating simultaneously.
In S006, master control part 100 checks that ball enters sensor 49 and whether detects ball 2.When ball entered sensor 49 and do not detect ball 2, master control part 100 made drive circuit 101 begin to wave celestial sphere 24 once more by celestial sphere drive motor 31 in S007.Master control part 100 turns back to the processing of S004 after carrying out S007.
In contrast, be judged to be ball when entering sensor 49 and detecting ball 2 in S006, master control part 100 is provided with ball and selects permission flag in S008.It is that expression is read the sign of ball sequence number data from the current locational ball 2 that reads that is present in the reading device 17 that this ball is selected permission flag.
In S009, master control part 100 is checked the current ball selection permission flag of whether setting.Handle when entering S009 after being right after S008, select permission flag owing to must be provided with ball, so master control part 100 enters the processing of S010.
In S010, master control part 100 is to drive circuit 101 indication beginning roating sphere rotating mechanism drive motors 71.The drive circuit 100 that receives this indication rotates up to the indication (S018) that stops operating that occurs from master control part 100 ball rotating mechanism drive motor 71.
At S011, master control part 100 checks whether celestial sphere 24 is made secondary rotation and passed through initial point after carrying out S010.If celestial sphere 24 does not make secondary rotation and not by initial point, then control part 100 sends the reading order to the first reading unit 45a in S012.
In S013, master control part 100 checks whether receive the ball sequence number data corresponding with the reading order of sending from the first reading unit 45a among S012.When receiving ball sequence number data, enter the processing of S017.
In contrast, when being judged to be in S013 when not receiving ball sequence number data, master control part 100 is sent the reading order to second reading counting unit 45b in S014.
In S015, master control part 100 whether check from second reading counting unit 45b receive with S014 the corresponding ball sequence number data of reading order sent.When receiving ball sequence number data, enter the processing of S017.
In contrast, be judged to be when not receiving the ball sequence number data that second reading counting unit 45b sends, master control part 100 turns back to the processing of S011, carries out the processing that is used to read ball sequence number data once more.In the result of the circular treatment that repeats S011 to S015, do not receive ball sequence number data and celestial sphere 24 is made secondary rotation by under the situation of initial point, handle and enter S016 from S011.In S016, master control part 100 is at display unit 17b
1Last show is present in the information that the content of fault (data error) has taken place among the data medium 2a that reads locational ball 2 or second reading counting unit 45a, the 45b.Master control part 100 finishes entire process after carrying out S016.
Among the performed S017, master control part 100 selects permission flag to reset in ball, forbids reading ball sequence number data subsequently when from reading unit 45a, 45b any receives ball sequence number data.
In S018, master control part 100 stops operating to drive circuit 101 indication ball rotating mechanism drive motors 71.
In S019, master control part 100 is sent in the ball sequence number data that receive among S013 or the S015 to whole game tables 5.
In S020, master control part 100 is showing on the display unit 17b and the corresponding numeral of ball sequence number data that receives in S013 or S015.
In S021, master control part 100 sends the grant commands of making a bet to each game table 5.This grant commands of making a bet is to make each game table 5 can receive the order of making a bet of Bingo game next time.
Carry out after the S021, handle turning back to S009.At this moment,, do not set ball selection permission flag, handle entering S022 so in S009, be judged as because ball selects permission flag to be reset in S017.
In S022, master control part 100 checks that ball enters sensor 49 and whether detects ball 2.Be judged to be ball when entering sensor 49 and detecting ball 2, master control part 100 to the control signal of drive circuit 101 output regulations, makes ball path controlling organization drive motor 44 begin to rotate in S023.Then, master control part 100 waits for that in S024 angular transducer 59 (detector 67) detects the grooving 65s of disk 65.If detect grooving 65s, then master control part 100 makes the drive circuit 101 ball path controlling organization drive motor 44 that stops operating in S025.Carry out the processing that back S025 master control part 100 enters S026.
In contrast, be judged to be ball when entering sensor 49 and not detecting ball in S022, master control part 100 directly enters the processing of S026.
In S026, whether master control part 100 detects by being through with by initial point after celestial sphere 24 1 revolution is waved the one-period of operation.Then, when being judged to be celestial sphere 24, turn back to the processing of S022 not by initial point.Otherwise when judging that celestial sphere 24 has passed through initial point, master control part 100 enters the processing of S027.
In S027, master control part 100 sends the decretum inhibitorium of making a bet to each game table 5.
In S028, master control part 100 checks that ball enters sensor 49 and whether detects ball 2.When judging that ball enters sensor 49 and detects ball 2, master control part 100 enters the processing of S029.
The processing that S029 is later is not read the ball sequence number data of second later ball 2 and the processing of discharging when plural ball 2 enters in the reading device 17.That is, master control part 100 is in the control signal of S029 to drive circuit 101 output regulations, to stop the rotation that celestial sphere drive motor 31 orders about celestial sphere 24.Then, master control part 100 to the control signal of drive circuit 101 output regulations, makes ball path controlling organization drive motor 44 begin to rotate in S030.Then, master control part 100 is waited for the grooving 65s of angular transducer 59 (detector 67) test disks 65 in S031.If grooving 65s is detected, then master control part 100 makes the drive circuit 101 ball path controlling organization drive motor 44 that stops operating in S032.After carrying out S032, master control part turns back to the processing of S028.
On the contrary, judge that in S028 master control part 100 turned back to the processing of S002, carries out the extraction of next ball 2 when ball entered sensor 49 and do not detect ball 2.
In the control of aforesaid Figure 30 and Figure 31 is handled, also can cancel S008, S009 and S017, in S006, judge simultaneously when ball enters sensor 49 and detects ball 2 and directly carry out S010 and after carrying out S021, directly carry out S022.
And, can cancel S007, and judge that in S006 ball enters the processing that directly enters S026 when sensor 49 does not detect ball 2.
Below, read in the content that the sub-control portion 150 performed controls in each game table 5 of Bingo game program of storage among the ROM 154 are handled according to the flowchart text of Figure 32 to Figure 38.
If apply main power source to sub-control portion 150, then start the game control routine of make a bet executive routine and Figure 34 and Figure 35 of metal coin turnover executive routine, Figure 33 of Figure 32 simultaneously, parallel processing then (Figure 36 to Figure 38 is the subroutine in the game control routine of Figure 35).This three routines are described below successively.
In the metal coin room entry/exit management routine of Figure 32, sub-control portion 150 resets variable CREDIT in initial S101.
Then in S102, sub-control portion 150 checks whether drop into information from metal coin receiver 151 input metal coin.This metal coin input information is to be sent out when metal coin receiver 151 receives a metal coin.When having imported this metal coin input information, sub-control portion 150 adds variable CREDIT the processing of the 1 laggard S104 of arriving in S103.On the contrary, when input does not have the metal coin to drop into information, then directly enter the processing of S104.
In S104, sub-control portion 150 checks whether variable BET is 0, checks promptly whether the player who occupies this game table is participating in Bingo game.This variable BET is the numerical value (play value) that in the executive routine of making a bet of Figure 33 (entering the contest) metal coin number of being made a bet is carried out datumization.When variable BET was not zero, promptly when the player participated in Bingo game, sub-control portion 150 turned back to the processing of S102.This is because the later processing of S105 is to be used for paying back the metal coin, and can not settle accounts in the middle of attending a game.
Otherwise, when variable BET is zero, when promptly the player does not participate in Bingo game, because can settle accounts, so carry out the later processing of S105.In S105, sub-control portion 150 checks whether payment button 5a-2 is pressed.When not pushing payment button 5a-2, because of paying, so turn back to the processing of S102.
On the contrary when payment button 5a-2 is pressed, sub-control portion 150 indicates 151 pairs of metal coin receivers to return metal coin with variable CREDIT equal number in S106.After this, turn back to the processing of S102 after sub-control portion 150 resets variable CREDIT in S107.
The above results is, the player is additional input metal coin and append CREDIT at any time, when hope is withdrawed from, to be not condition making a bet, can take out the metal coin of CREDIT remaining sum size at any time simultaneously from recreation.Thereby bring the effect that can attend a game like a cork.
In the executive routine of making a bet of Figure 33, sub-control portion 150 in initial S201 under the initial setting injecting method be " one piece of metal coin is made a bet ", and variable BET is resetted.
Then in S202, sub-control portion 150 checks whether variable CREDIT is more than 1.When variable CREDIT is zero, because the player does not drop into used up the non-object of making a bet of all CREDIT of metal coin or player as yet, so turn back to the processing of S202.
On the contrary, be 1 when above at variable CREDIT, sub-control portion 150 checks in S203 whether the master control part 100 of main body 3 allows to make a bet.Promptly check it whether is to make a bet that grant commands (S002) has been sent out and the situation that do not send the decretum inhibitorium of making a bet as yet.Under the situation that does not allow to make a bet, promptly do not send when making a bet grant commands as yet, or sent under the situation of the decretum inhibitorium of making a bet, sub-control portion 150 turns back to the processing of S202.
On the contrary, under the situation that allows to make a bet, sub-control portion 150 checks in S204 whether the selector button of making a bet (B button) is pressed.When the selection of making a bet (B button) when being pressed, injecting method under sub-control portion 150 changes in S205.Promptly the following injecting method in current setting is under the situation of " one piece of metal coin is made a bet ", will descend injecting method to convert " five pieces of metal coin are made a bet " to.On the other hand, under the situation of " five pieces of metal coin are made a bet ", will descend injecting method to be converted to " one piece of metal coin is made a bet " at the following injecting method of current setting.Here " one piece of metal coin is made a bet " is meant the method that the CREDIT with a metal coin amount takes part in game, and " five pieces of metal coin are made a bet " is meant the method that the CREDIT that concentrates five metal coin amounts takes part in game.Sub-control portion 150 enters the processing of S206 after finishing this time injecting method change processing.On the contrary, when not pushing the selector button of making a bet (B button) in S204, sub-control portion 150 directly enters the processing of S206.
At S206, sub-control portion 150 checks whether the button (D button) of making a bet is pressed.When the button of making a bet (D button) when not being pressed sub-control portion 150 return the processing of S202.
On the contrary, under the situation that the button of making a bet (D button) is pressed, sub-control portion 150 checks that in S207 the following injecting method of current setting is " one piece of metal coin is made a bet " or " five pieces of metal coin are made a bet ".When " one piece of metal coin is made a bet ", sub-control portion 150 is provided with " a metal coin make a bet sign " at S208, in S209 variable BET is added 1, in S210 variable CREDIT is subtracted 1, then, turns back to the processing of S202 at the current following injecting method that sets.On the contrary, when the following injecting method of current setting is " five pieces of metal coin are made a bet ", sub-control portion 150 is provided with " five pieces of metal coin make a bet sign " in S211, in S212, variable BET is increased 5, at S213 variable CREDIT is subtracted 5, then processing is turned back to S202 (be equivalent to play value and receive means).
Above result, as long as CREDIT is not zero and the master control part 100 of main body 3 allows to make a bet, the player just can make a bet repeatedly.And, when hope concentrates five pieces of metal coin to make a bet, can take part in game in case will descend injecting method to convert " five pieces of metal coin are made a bet " to.
In the game control routine of Figure 34 and Figure 35, sub-control portion 150 in initial S301, will handling used various variablees make initializing set respectively.The variable BINGO of the triumph number of the variable Ba of the ball sequence number data number that specifically, expression is received, expression previous moment counting
OLD, the expression current time the BINGO of count results of triumph number
NEW, and the expression triumph variable WIN reset-to-zero respectively of counting summation, will represent the variable ODDS of distribution multiple (winning rate) simultaneously to the triumph number
1Be set at 10.
In S302, sub-control portion 150 checks whether variable CREDIT is more than 1 then.Check that promptly the player occupies this game table 5 and whether drops into the metal coin.When variable CREDIT is zero, when promptly the player does not drop into the metal coin as yet, sub-control portion 150 demonstration of in S303, demonstrating.In this demonstration demonstration,, show that on display 5m the animation of game content shows for causing people's interest.This demonstration demonstration in S302, carry out repeatedly up to judge CREDIT be more than 1 till.
Become among 1 S304 that carries out when above at CREDIT, the card table that sub-control portion 150 will launch on RAM 152 resets to original state shown in Figure 28, simultaneously expression is configured to effectively the vertical width in the zone of unit and the variable n of transverse width were set at for 5 (are equivalent to the effective coverage and set means).
In S305, sub-control portion 150 sets the numerical value of selecting at random in 1～25 scope (be equivalent to symbol and set means) in each numeric field of card table.
In S306, sub-control portion 150 will with the corresponding unit of whole unit sequence number put down in writing in arbitrary tabular value item in the table of awarding a prize, in the card table, set the object of awarding a prize (the object unit setting device is equivalent to award a prize) for.Specifically, the 5th bit of status information that will be corresponding with each unit number is set at 1, the six bit and is set at zero.Meanwhile read variable ODDS from same tabular value item
2
In S307, sub-control portion 150 shows the matrix (being equivalent to the demonstration means) that is made of 10 * 10 unit on display 5m, shows simultaneously to be set in the card table as the effective numerical value of all unit on display 5m.All show asterisk (the overlapping demonstration of numerical value and asterisk in being set to effective unit) regardless of whether being set to effectively, being set in the card table on all unit as the object of awarding a prize simultaneously.
In S308, sub-control portion 150 checks whether variable BET is more than 1.Check promptly whether the player participates in Bingo game.When variable BET was zero, promptly when the player did not participate in Bingo game as yet, sub-control portion 150 checked in S309 whether game button (C button) is pressed.When the player who watches display 5m was unsatisfied with the cell position of the object of awarding a prize and counts, this game button (C button) promptly was pressed.Thereby if this game button (C button) is pressed, then sub-control portion 150 returns the processing of S306, other tabular value item sensing element sequence number and variable ODDS from the table of awarding a prize
2On the contrary, if game button (C button) is not pressed, promptly turn back to the processing of S308.
Carry out the result of the circular treatment of above-mentioned S306 to S309 repeatedly,, handle promptly entering S310 if variable BET becomes more than 1.In S310, sub-control portion 150 checks and whether is set up " existing five metals to belong to the coin sign of making a bet ".When being provided with " five pieces of metal coin make a bet sign ", sub-control portion 150 adds 1 with variable n in S311.In S312 be that 0～n, y coordinate are that all unit of 0～n are reset to effectively (be equivalent to the effective coverage and enlarge means) with the x coordinate.Specifically, first bit of the status information of these unit on the card table is set at 1, second bit and is reset to zero.Sub-control portion 150 resets " five pieces of metal coin make a bet sign " in S313, enters the processing of S317 then.
On the contrary, when " five pieces of metal coin make a bet sign " were set when being judged as in S310, sub-control portion 150 checked and whether is provided with " one piece of metal coin make a bet sign " in S314.When " one piece of metal coin make a bet sign " when being set up, sub-control portion 150 in S315 will be that 0～n, y coordinate are regional adjacent any unit that all unit of 0～n constitute by the x coordinate, reset and become to have only one to be effectively (being equivalent to the effective coverage expansion instrument).Specifically, again first bit of the status information of this unit on the card table is set at 1, second bit and is set at 0.Sub-control portion 150 resets " one piece of metal coin make a bet sign " in S316, enters the processing of S317.
On the contrary, when judging and be provided with " one piece of metal coin make a bet sign " in S314, sub-control portion 150 directly enters the processing of S317.
In S317, sub-control portion 150 shows the numerical value that newly is set to effective unit on display 5m.
In S319, sub-control portion 150 waits for the ball sequence number data of sending from the master control part 100 of main body 3.When ball sequence number data were sent, whether sub-control portion 150 checked by the represented numerical value of the ball sequence number data of being sent identical with any numerical value of being put down in writing on the card table in S320.Arbitrary numerical value of on numerical value represented and card table, being put down in writing by ball sequence number data not simultaneously, sub-control portion 150 turns back to the processing of S319.
On the contrary, when arbitrary numerical value of being put down in writing on the numerical value represented by ball sequence number data and card table is consistent, that is, arbitrary numerical value of being put down in writing on the card table is used as the main body 3 of symbolic selecting device when selected, and sub-control portion 150 enters the processing of S321.
Figure 36 is illustrated in the prizing of subroutine of carrying out among this S321 to judge the flow chart of routine.Be included among the initial S401 in this subroutine, sub-control portion 150 will set the unit of prizing (the unit specified device is equivalent to prize) for corresponding to the unit of selected numerical value.Specifically, the 3rd bit of the status information of this unit on the card table is set at 1, the four bit and is reset to zero.
Then in S402, sub-control portion 150 will be configured to prize in the S401 Show Color of unit of unit is altered to the color different with other unit.
In S403, sub-control portion 150 checks selected numerical value and as the numerical value of effective object and whether consistent by the numerical value of storage (S612) in advance.When the numerical value of selected numerical value and effective object was inconsistent, sub-control portion 150 directly entered the processing of S405.
In contrast, when selected numerical value was consistent with the numerical value of effective object, sub-control portion 150 carried out guest's dagger-axe and judges routine in S404.Figure 37 is the flow chart that is illustrated in guest's dagger-axe judgement routine of the subroutine of carrying out among this S404.In entering the initial S501 of this subroutine, sub-control portion 150 pairs of judgements direction is carried out initialization.
In S502, whether sub-control portion 150 has carried out omnidirectional judgement since checking and entering this subroutine then.Here so-called omnirange is meant the represented tilted direction of decision line on the display 5m among transverse direction that the decision line on the display 5m among the represented longitudinal direction of the decision line on the display 5m among Figure 39, Figure 40 is represented and Figure 41.In this checks, when having only the current judgement direction that sets to be judged as tilted direction, just be judged as and carried out omnidirectional judgement.
When not finishing omnirange as yet and judge, be initial value (0) promptly, vertically or laterally the time in the current judgement direction that sets, the change of direction is judged by sub-control portion 150 in S503.That is, when the current judgement direction that sets is initial value (0), be altered to vertically, be altered to laterally when being vertical, be altered to tilted direction when being horizontal in the current judgement direction that sets in the current judgement direction that sets.
In S504, the variable No. that sub-control portion 150 will be used to specify decision line is set at zero.This variable No. is corresponding to the numeral that has circle of decision line shown in the arrow among Figure 39～Figure 41.The scope of this variable No. is when judging that direction is vertical and judge that direction is 0～10 when being horizontal, and is judging that direction is 0～22 when being oblique.
In S505, sub-control portion 150 adds 1 with variable No..
In S506, effective unit number in sub-control portion 150 will go (being configured to effectively all unit number in the decision line by the No. appointment) is set the variable i that line number (whether is the unit number of prizing by judging continuously) is judged in expression for.
In S507, sub-control portion 150 will represent that the variable j that judges starting point is set at zero.
In S508, sub-control portion 150 adds 1 with variable j.
In S509, whether sub-control portion 150 checks i the unit that will be begun by j unit in the effective unit sequence in the decision line of No. appointment, all sets the unit of prizing for.All do not set for when prizing the unit at i unit, sub-control portion 150 checks that in S510 the value of variable j of current time is whether consistent with the value of " effective unit number-variable i+1 in the row ".The situation that the value of the variable j of current time is consistent with the value of " effective unit number-variable i+1 in the row " is from judging the continuous effective unit number that starting point begins and judging the corresponding to situation of line number, is to move the situation of judging starting point in addition.Thereby, if the value of the variable j of current time is inconsistent with the value of " effective unit number-variable i+1 in the row ", then the position rearward can be moved in the position of judging starting point, thus turn back to the processing of S508, and variable j is increased 1.
In contrast, when the value in the value of the variable j of current time and " effective unit number-variable i+1 in the row " was consistent, sub-control portion 150 checked in S511 whether the value of the variable i of current time is 5.The consecutive numbers of the minimal unit of prizing of guest's dagger-axe establishment in the present embodiment also is 5.Thereby greater than 5 o'clock, sub-control portion 150 turned back to the processing of S507 after in S515 variable i being subtracted 1 in the value of the variable i of current time.
Even repeat above S507～S511 and the circular treatment of S515, when the effective unit sequence in the decision line of No. appointment from j number the beginning i unit, be not judged as in S509 all is when prizing the unit, owing to be false by decision line Chinese-guest's dagger-axe of No. appointment, so the processing that enters S514 is to change decision line at current time.
On the contrary, by in the effective unit sequence in the decision line of No. appointment from j number i unit, being judged as in S509 all is when prizing the unit, sub-control portion 150 thinks that guest's dagger-axe sets up and enter the processing (being equivalent to decision maker) of S512.In S512, sub-control portion 150 is at the variable BINGO of the count value of expression triumph number
NEWOn deduct 4 value from variable i.This deducts 4 value from variable i is the triumph number that gives this guest's dagger-axe, only continuous is prizing the unit and 5 of setting up are 1 when arranging by five.
In S513, sub-control portion 150 makes the Show Color of the whole unit (unit that makes the establishment of guest's dagger-axe) that are judged as the unit of prizing in S509 be different from the color of other unit (the unselected unit and the unit of prizing).Then, sub-control portion 150 enters the processing of S514, to carry out the judgement on other decision line.
In S514, sub-control portion 150 checks that whether the value of the variable No. of current times is maximum when vertical or horizontal (be 10, be 22 when oblique) in the judgement direction of current time.When also not becoming maximum, turn back to the processing of S505, to carry out judgement to adjacent decision line.
On the contrary, when the value of current time variable No. reaches maximum, owing to finished to all judgements of decision line in the judgement direction of current time, so turn back to the processing of S502.
Repeat the result of above S502～S514 circular treatment, when omnidirectional judgement had been finished in judgement, sub-control portion 150 will be from variable BINGO in S516
OLDDeduct variable BINGO
NEWValue set for the expression de novo triumph number variable BINGO
ADDValue.
In S517, the variable BINGO in addition on the variable WIN of expression triumph number summation of sub-control portion 150
ADDValue.
In S518, sub-control portion 150 is with the variable BINGO of current time
NEWValue be rewritten into variable BINGO when carrying out next subroutine
OLDValue.
In S519, sub-control portion 150 is with BINGO
NEWValue reset.
In S405, sub-control portion 150 carries out effectively judges routine.Figure 39 is the effective judgement routine flow chart of expression as the subroutine of carrying out in this S405.In entering the initial S601 of this subroutine, sub-control portion 150 pairs of judgements direction is carried out initialization.
Then in S602, whether sub-control portion 150 and S502 have carried out the omnirange judgement since similarly checking and entering this subroutine.
When not finishing omnidirectional judgement as yet, be initial value (0) promptly, when vertical or horizontal in the judgement direction of current setting, sub-control portion 150 similarly changes the judgement direction with S503 in S603.
In S604, the variable No. that sub-control portion 150 will be used to specify decision line is set at 0.
In S605, sub-control portion 150 adds 1 with variable No..
In S606, sub-control portion 150 will represent that the variable i of judging line number is set at 5.
In S607, sub-control portion 150 will represent that the variable j that judges starting point is set at zero.
In S608, sub-control portion 150 adds 1 with variable j.
In S609, sub-control portion 150 checks whether all be set to the unit of prizing by " i-1 " individual unit from the j unit in the effective unit sequence in the decision line of No. appointment.When i unit all is not set at when prizing the unit, sub-control portion 150 checks in S610 whether the value of current time variable j is consistent with the value of " effective unit number-variable i+1 in the row ".If the value of current time variable j with " effective unit number-variable i+1 in the row) value inconsistent owing to the position of judging starting point rearward can be moved, variable j is added 1 so turn back to the processing of S608.
On the contrary, when the value of the value of current time variable j and " in the row effectively unit number-variable i+1 " is consistent, owing to the position of judgement starting point rearward not being moved, so sub-control portion 150 enters the processing of S614.
Repeat the result of the circular treatment of above S608～S610, in S609, judging, be set to full when prizing the unit, enter the processing of S611 from " i-1 " individual unit of j unit by the effective unit sequence in the decision line of No. appointment.In S611, sub-control portion 150 checks becomes in S609 whether back to back next unit is the unit of prizing on the unit sequence of prizing of judging object.At this next unit is when prizing the unit, just can think till this next unit it is the unit sequence that guest's dagger-axe is set up.Thereby, sub-control portion 150 for will be more next unit be set at effective object, in S613, variable i added the processing that turns back to S607 after 1.
On the contrary, become in S609 that back to back next unit is not when prizing the unit on the unit sequence of prizing of judging object, owing to can think effectively to arrive the state of setting up, so sub-control portion 150 will become the Show Color of the front and back adjacent unit of the unit sequence of prizing of judging object and become to being different from other unit (unit that non-selected unit, prize unit and guest's dagger-axe are set up) color in S609 in S612, the numerical value of the effective object of numerical value conduct that simultaneously will this unit, front and back is stored.Processing one among this S612 finishes, and sub-control portion 150 promptly enters the processing of S614.
In S614, sub-control portion 150 checks whether the value of the variable No. of current time is that current time is judged the maximum (being 10, is 22) in the direction when vertical or horizontal when oblique.When not becoming maximum as yet, the processing of returning S605 is to carry out the judgement to adjacent decision line.
On the contrary, when the value of the variable No. of current time reaches maximum, owing to finished the judgement of current time being judged whole decision line of direction, so turn back to the processing of S602.
Repeat the result of the circular treatment of above S602～S614, judging when having finished omnidirectional judgements, sub-control portion 150 these subroutines of termination and get back to the processing of Figure 37.In the routine of the Figure 36 that returns processing, sub-control portion 150 returns the processing of Figure 35.
In the routine of the Figure 35 that returns processing, sub-control portion 150 adds 1 with variable Ba in S322.
In S323, whether the value of the variable Ba of sub-control portion 150 inspection current times is less than 10.When the value of variable Ba less than 10 the time, sub-control portion 150 finishes as yet as this Bingo game, and the processing of returning S319 is to wait for the notice of next ball sequence number data.
On the contrary, the value of current time variable Ba reaches at 10 o'clock, and sub-control portion 150 finishes as this Bingo game, and the processing that enters S324 is with clearing CREDIT.In S324, sub-control portion 150 checks whether current time variable WIN is zero.When variable WIN value was zero, arranging one at 5 also was false, so need not addition CREDIT and in statu quo enter the processing of S328.
On the contrary, when the value of variable WIN is 1 when above, owing to have at least arrange and set up at one 5, for carrying out CREDIT addition calculation (being equivalent to play value), sub-control portion 150 enters the processing of S325.In this S325, sub-control portion 150 adds that on the variable CREDIT of current time variable WIN multiply by variable BET and ODDS
1Value.
In S326, sub-control portion 150 checks whether the condition that payment is rewarded sets up (being equivalent to second decision means).Whether what specifically, the inspection status information was represented is to be used as effectively and the whole unit that set as the object of awarding a prize in the card table of selecting.When the condition of rewarding in payment was set up, sub-control portion 150 was in S327, and in addition variable BET multiply by ODDS on the variable CREDIT of current time
2Value.Sub-control portion 150 enters the processing of S328 then.
On the contrary, when judging that in S326 paying the condition of rewarding is false, sub-control portion 150 directly enters the processing of S328.
In S328, sub-control portion 150 resets variable BET.Sub-control portion 150 returns the processing of S301 then, prepares the new recreation of beginning.
The following describes the practical operation in the present embodiment game device with said structure.
After game device 1 is applied in power supply, the demonstration (S303) of promptly demonstrating of the sub-control portion 150 of each game table 5.Then, when the player that the demonstration on watching display 5m shows dropped into the metal coin from coin slot 5t, sub-control portion 150 promptly increased variable CREDIT (S103) according to the metal coin number that drops into.150 pairs of card tables of sub-control portion are done initialization (S304), write the numerical value (S305) in 1～25 scope in the hurdle of each unit in this card table randomly, and set award a prize (S306).According to the card table that has carried out such setting, on display 5m, show the matrix (S307) of vertical Unit 10 * horizontal Unit 10.Owing to be set to n=5 this moment, only Unit 5 * 5 unit areas are used as effective and show its numerical value.And in being set to the unit of awarding a prize, show asterisk.
On the other hand, be applied in power supply and when being in starting state, the master control part 100 of main body 3 sends the grant commands (S021) of making a bet to each game table 5 termly at game device 1.In the game table 5 that receives this grant commands of making a bet, with variable CREDIT be more than 1 as condition, make player can enter the lists (S206).This moment, the player can select one piece of metal coin to make a bet according to oneself judgement or five pieces of metal coin are made a bet as time injecting method (S204, S205, S207).Choosing that one piece of metal coin is made a bet during the button of selecting to make a bet (D button), have only one to become effectively (S315) with the unit of vertical Unit 5 * horizontal 5 unit area adjacency, and show its numerical value (S317).On the other hand, choose that five pieces of metal coin are made a bet and during the button of selecting to make a bet (D button), the effective coverage increases a unit separately in vertical, horizontal, the zone of vertical Unit 6 * horizontal Unit 6 becomes effectively (S312), and shows its numerical value (S317).Can carry out such making a bet and send the decretum inhibitorium (S027) of making a bet, make a bet, all enlarged area at every turn up to master control part 100 by main body 3.One enters the lists, and variable BET also increases according to its metal coin piece number.The possibility that the Shi Binge that promptly enters the lists sets up increases, and the prize number of paying back when guest's dagger-axe is set up simultaneously (CREDIT number) also doubles.
After this, when the master control part 100 of main body 3 after each game table 5 sends the decretum inhibitorium (S027) of making a bet, the BET value of each game table 5 and the content of card table determine, begin respectively to carry out the extraction of ball 2 in the main body 3 and ball sequence number data read and each game table in Bingo game (S319).
Play at the beginning, the master control part 100 of main body 3 promptly indicates drive circuit 101 to begin to wave celestial sphere 24 (S002) by celestial sphere drive motor 31, indicates cursor drive motor 77a to rotate cursor 771,773 (S004) simultaneously.As a result, be deposited near the ball 2 the lifting column in the skewed guide path 75 that ball accumulates portion 13, because of being pushed to the upstream of skewed guide path 75, thereby make ball 2 roll into singly in the lifting column 15.
Then, the master control part 100 command driven circuit 101 of main body 3 drive lifting column (S005) by two lifting drive motors 16.Thereby, enter the ball 2 among the ball acceptance division 15r of lifting column 15, transmit to the topmost of lifting column 15 by conveyer belt 15c.Ball 2 rolls into the ball receiving portion one by one by skewed guide path 75, so ball 2 is sent to the topmost of lifting column 15 continuously.The ball 2 that is sent to topmost is broken away from from ball acceptance division 15r by extractor 15o, releases to ball dish 9.Like this by the transmission of lifting column to ball 2, repeat to reach 10 up to the sum that is sent to the ball 2 in the ball dish 9 by two lifting columns 15.
Done by lifting column 15 ball 2 is transmitted when finishing, celestial sphere 24 begins to rotate a week.Like this, in the stage that the rotation of celestial sphere 24 acquires a certain degree, have only a ball 2 to roll in the inner gateway 21 in the ball 2 of accommodating in the celestial sphere 24 and (see Figure 19 and Figure 22), other all balls 2 are discharged from celestial sphere 24 and are fallen, and roll into ball and accumulate portion 13 (seeing Figure 19).Then, if celestial sphere 24 further rotates (seeing Figure 20), the ball 2 that then enters into inner gateway 21 path 18 and outside entering from inner gateway 21 discharges.The ball 2 that enters into outer path 18 rolls downwards along outer path 18, from the passage 18o of the outer path 18 ball introducing port 17c via reading device 17
1Adorn 17 course of action 17w (seeing Figure 21) (letter) and enter reading device.
The ball 2 that enters course of action 17w temporarily is parked in craspedodrome path 17w by ball path controlling organization 43
1 In.Enter sensor 49 detection balls 2 by ball and whether temporarily stop (S006), when ball 2 does not enter in the reading device 17 for a certain reason, carry out the transmission (S007) of waving (shaking and a revolution) and 15 pairs of balls of lifting column of celestial sphere 24 once more.Enter sensor 49 at ball and detect craspedodrome path 17w
1In when having ball 2, master control part 100 indication drive circuits 101 make 47 work (S010) of ball rotating mechanism by ball rotating mechanism drive motor 71.As a result, by the roller 69 beginning roating spheres 2 of ball rotating mechanism 47, and change the direction of ball 2 with respect to reading unit 45a, 45b.Then, (S012～S015), the ball sequence number data of reading in are sent to each game table 5 (S019) is presented at display unit 17b to read its ball sequence number data by each reading unit 45a, 45b
1(S020).
As mentioned above, after having carried out the transmission of ball sequence number data and showing, master control part 100 control drive circuits 101 make 43 work (S023) of ball path controlling organization by ball path controlling organization drive motor 44.As a result, course of action 17w opens, and ball 2 is from craspedodrome path 17w
1Tributary circuit 17w
2, 17w
3In any be discharged to ball and accumulate portion 13.
From the through hole 9h of ball dish 9 fall the ball 2 but do not caught by celestial sphere 24, be not directed to reading device 17 and from celestial sphere 24 unrestrained down ball 2 and from the ball 2 of reading device 17 discharges, all be trapped in ball and accumulate portion 13.Then, through accumulate the skewed guide path 75 that portion 13 bottoms form at this ball, move to the ball acceptance division 15r of lifting column 15.Even at this moment produced so-called bridge joint phenomenon, but, therefore can not end to supply with balls 2 to lifting column 15 owing to be rotated arm 77s ejection by a plurality of balls.
The earth 2 is done circulation repeatedly as mentioned above.A ball 2 that extracts in this cyclic process is guided in the reading device 17, reads its ball sequence number data by reading unit 45a, 45b.
But, accumulate in the ball 2 that compiles in the portion 13 at ball, not only have from celestial sphere 24 the non-extraction balls 2 of coming that directly roll, also have the extraction ball 2 that comes via inner gateway 21 and outer path 18, and extract and also comprise process tributary circuit 17w in the ball 2
2Or 17w
3Come.That is, the path that ball 2 arrival balls accumulate portion 13 is different for each ball 2, promptly fully according to contingency.
We can say, arrive the ball 2 that ball accumulates portion 13 and eject which ball 2 enters among the ball acceptance division 15r of lifting column 15 result of the accumulation of chance especially because of being rotated body 77.
And, even in the ball 2 in arriving ball dish 9, the ball of making arc shaped or linearity arrival through hole 9h is arranged, the path of the ball 2 of multiple arrival through hole 9w is also arranged, walk which path also is accidental effect actually.
Even enter into the ball 2 of the celestial sphere of ball draw-out device 11, it also is accidental which ball 2 is extracted, promptly nothing more than being random extraction.
In this embodiment, the ball that will contain ball path 17w, rotor 77 accumulates first withdrawal device that is called of portion 13, lifting column 15 and ball dish 9, and ball draw-out device 11 is called second withdrawal device.
The sub-control portion 150 of each game table 9 after the notice that receives ball sequence number data from main body 3 (S319), check whether record in the card table with by the identical numerical value (S320) of the numerical value of this ball sequence number data representation.When putting down in writing, carrying out prizes judges routine (S312).
In this prized routine, sub-control portion 150 rewrote the status information of the unit that records this numerical value and becomes selecteed state (S401), changes the Show Color (S402) of this unit simultaneously.Check then whether this numerical value is stored as effective object, the numerical value that stores if be used as effective object, then carry out guest's dagger-axe and judge routine (S404), if not the numerical value that is stored as effective object is then carried out and effectively judged routine (S405).
Judging effectively in the routine that upward each vertical unit, each lateral cell and each oblique unit sequence of shown matrix all scan to constituting display 5m.At first, judge the unit of prizing (the wherein selecteed unit of Ji Zai numerical value) 4 of continued presences (S609) whether in effective unit contained in each unit sequence (decision line).This be because, in the present embodiment, guest's dagger-axe is set up the necessary minimal unit consecutive numbers of prizing and is similarly 5 unit with traditional Bingo game, think and make effective establishment that the unit of prizing just must have 4 unit continued presences at least.
On the other hand, under consecutive numbers was situation more than 5, the consecutive numbers that surpasses the unit of prizing in this moment with the effective unit number in this unit sequence (decision line) was condition (S610), with the unit of the front and back of this unit sequence of prizing as effective object storage (S613, S609, S611, S612).This is because in the present embodiment, along with making the effective coverage enlarge such formation, owing to the above continuous possibility in the unit of prizing in 6 unit is arranged, so can estimate triumph according to the consecutive numbers of 5 unit of prizing more than the unit.Promptly, in the present embodiment, even in case because of there being 5 continuous unit sequences of prizing in unit to make under the situation of guest's dagger-axe establishment, when the numerical value of the ball sequence number data representation that receives after it is documented in the next unit of this unit sequence of prizing, judge once more that by 6 unit unit sequence of prizing continuously guest's dagger-axe sets up., judge effectively in the routine that even the consecutive numbers of the unit of prizing is more than 5, also the numerical value with the unit before and after this unit sequence is stored as effective object at this for this reason.
Judge in the routine that at guest's dagger-axe same with effective judgement routine, upward all each vertical unit sequences, each lateral cell sequence and each oblique unit sequence of shown matrix scan to constituting display 5m.Judge then whether continued presence is more than 5 (S509) for the unit of prizing in effective unit contained in each unit sequence (decision line).When the consecutive numbers of the unit of prizing is 5 when above, judge that guest's dagger-axe sets up, will deduct from the consecutive numbers of the unit of prizing 4 values be added to variable BINGO
NEWGo up (S512).
Like this, finish the scanning of whole unit sequences (decision line) of all directions after, sub-control portion 150 with during this by the variable BINGO after adding
NEWBINGO with the judgement routine of last time prizing
NEWValue, i.e. variable BINGO
NEWValue compare (S516) poor with them, i.e. variable BINGO
ADDValue as according to the ball sequence number data that receive specifically and new " the triumph number " that produces is added to (S517) among the variable WIN.
By the numerical value of the new ball sequence number data of main body 3 notices when consistent with the numerical value on the card table, sub-control portion 150 repeats the judgement routine of prizing described above when at every turn.When the sum by the ball sequence number data of main body 3 notice arrives 10 (S323), under variable WIN is condition 1 or more, promptly under the condition that has guest's dagger-axe establishment at least, several BET and winning rate ODDS will make a bet
1Take that variable WIN goes up and number be added on the variable CREDIT.In this case, to become the unit of prizing be condition to be set whole unit as the object of awarding a prize, carries out the addition (S327) of variable CREDIT and prize-winning value.
Finish a Bingo game in each game table 5 by above process.When the player wishes to participate in Bingo game once more, make a bet according to the grant commands of sending from main body 3 subsequently of making a bet.When the player wishes to push and pay button 5a-2 when Bingo game withdraws from.Like this, promptly discharge (S106) with the metal value of money of the value equivalent amount of the CREDIT that is accumulated up to now from outlet 5p.
In the present embodiment, as mentioned above, can the effective coverage that display 6m goes up shown matrix be enlarged according to the quantity of making a bet, thereby the possibility set up of increase and decrease guest dagger-axe, thereby traditional Bingo game can be provided and imitate unexistent interest in its Bingo game device.
The second embodiment of the present invention, with described first embodiment relatively, the content difference of the control program that stored of the ROM 102 of main body 3 only, other structures are all identical.So only the content of this control program is described below, and the explanation of omitting the structure identical with first embodiment.
Figure 42 and Figure 43 are the block diagrams of the content of the control program among this second embodiment of expression.This control program is compared with first embodiment's, and its characteristics are to detect according to the testing result that ball is discharged sensor 51 accumulation of the ball 2 in the course of action 17w of reading device 17.
The processing of Figure 42 is from applying main power source to master control part 100.In initial S701, master control part 100 will be used to carry out the various variablees and the data of processing and carry out initialization.Master control part 100 in this step, by control signal to drive circuit 101 output regulation, control celestial sphere drive motor 31 and so that celestial sphere 24 returns to origin position after rotating weeks.
In S702, master control part 100 sends the grant commands of making a bet to each game table 5.
In S703, master control part 100 is by making celestial sphere drive motor 31 begin to shake celestial sphere 24 to drive circuit 101 output control signals.After this order, master control part 100 is according to the angle of inclination information from the celestial sphere 24 of encoder 35 inputs, constantly monitors plane (joint face) direction with the outward flange 24e near zone that prevents celestial sphere inner surface 24i and surpasses level and tilt.
In S704,100 of master control part are waited for the sufficient time that the player of each game table can make a bet.
In S705, master control part 100 sends to each game table 5 forbids the order of making a bet.
In S706, master control part 100 is passed through to drive circuit 101 output control signals, and makes cursor drive motor 77a begin to rotate cursor 771,773.
In S707, master control part 100 makes drive circuit 101 drive two lifting columns 15,15 (conveyer belt 15c is rotated to clockwise direction) by two lifting column drive motors 16,16 within a certain period of time.This certain hour is meant the time required when the number count of the ball 2 in two lifting columns 15,15 pass out to dribbling 9 becomes 10.
Then master control part 100 is carried out the circular treatment of S708 to S711.This circular treatment is the processing that the ball 2 that drops into before celestial sphere 24 is made a revolution in the reading device 17 is discharged from reading device 17.In the S708 of the beginning that enters this circular treatment, master control part 100 detection balls enter sensor 49 and whether detect ball 2.When ball entered sensor 49 and detects ball 2, master control part made ball path controlling organization drive motor 44 begin to rotate by control drive circuit 101 in S709.Then master control part 100 is waited for the grooving 65s of angular transducer 59 (detector 67) test disks 65 in S710.When detecting notch 65s, master control part 100 makes ball path controlling organization drive motor 44 stop operating in S711, turns back to the processing of S708 then, judges that once more ball enters sensor 49 and whether detects ball 2.
When S708 judged that ball enters sensor 49 and do not detect ball 2, master control part 100 indicate drive circuit 101 to drive celestial sphere drive motors 31 in S712 and is made celestial sphere 24 works one revolution.Carry out the result of this step, such as already described after celestial sphere 24 is made a revolution, only there is a ball 2 to be guided in the reading device 17 through inner gateways 21 and outer path 18.Drive circuit 101 with same in the past, shakes celestial sphere 24 by celestial sphere drive motor 31 repeatedly after this celestial sphere 24 is made a revolution.
In S713, master control part 100 checks that ball enters sensor 49 and whether detects ball 2.This is to be used for importing the processing of carrying out when ball 2 is failed by making celestial sphere 24 make a revolution to reading device 17.When ball enters sensor 49 and does not detect ball 2, think ball 2 the importing failure and return the processing of S707.
On the contrary, when being judged to be ball when entering sensor 49 and detecting ball 2 in S713, master control part 100 is in the rotation of S714 indication drive circuit 101 and beginning ball rotating mechanism drive motor 71.
In S715, master control part 100 is sent the reading order to the first reading unit 45a.
Whether master control part 100 is then checked in S716 from the first reading unit 45a and receive ball sequence number data corresponding to the reading order of issuing among S715.Receiving the processing that enters S721 under the ball sequence number data conditions.
On the contrary, be judged to be when not receiving ball sequence number data at S716, master control part 100 is sent the reading order to second reading counting unit 45b in S717.Then in S718, whether master control part 100 is checked from second reading counting unit 45b and receive ball sequence number data corresponding to the reading order of issuing among S717.The processing that when receiving ball sequence number data, enters S721.
On the contrary, when being judged to be when second reading counting unit 45b does not receive ball sequence number data, master control part 100 checks in S719 whether celestial sphere 24 is just passing through initial point.If by initial point, master control part 100 does not turn back to the processing of S715 to celestial sphere 24, carries out the processing of reading of ball sequence number data once more.
On the contrary, repeat the result of the circular treatment of S714 to S719 not receiving ball sequence number data, when judging that in S719 celestial sphere 24 has passed through initial point, master control part 100 recognizes certain fault taken place, and carries out spherical aberration fault reason in S730.When carrying out this spherical aberration fault reason, master control part 100 is at display unit 17b
1The middle demonstration shows the information that mistake has taken place.
Can receive among the S720 that carries out under the ball sequence number data conditions from any reading unit 45a, 45b, master control part 100 indication drive circuits 101 stop the rotation of ball rotating mechanism drive motor 71.
S721 in, master control part 100 is sent in the ball sequence number data that receive among S716 or the S718 to all game tables 5.Master control part 100 shows the numeral corresponding to these ball sequence number data on display unit 17b in S722 then.
Then, master control part 100 is carried out the circular treatment of S723 to S729.This circular treatment is the processing that is used to discharge reading device 17 endospheres 2.In entering the initial S723 of this circular treatment, master control part 100 makes ball path controlling organization drive motor 44 begin to rotate by the control signal to drive circuit 101 output regulations.Master control part 100 is waited for the grooving 65s of angular transducer 59 (detector 67) test disks 65 in S724 then.When detecting grooving 65s, master control part 100 makes drive circuit 101 stop the rotation of ball path controlling organization drive motor 44 in S725.
Then, master control part 100 is waited for certain hour in S726.This certain hour is meant the common required time when ball 2 that has passed through ball path controlling organization 43 is used to pass through course of action 17w.After this master control part 100 checks in S727 whether ball discharge sensor 51 detects passing through of ball 2.Discharge sensor 51 when not detecting pass through of ball 2 when being judged to be ball, be judged as because of ball 2 pushes away in course of action 17w and long-pending recreation after this can not be proceeded, and enter the processing of S730, carry out spherical aberration fault reason (notifying the generation mistake) to the staff.
On the contrary, be judged to be ball and discharge sensor 51 when detecting passing through of ball 2 in S727, master control part 100 checks that in S728 ball enters sensor 49 and whether detects ball 2.This is whether to have entered the inspections of carrying out in the reading device 17 because of reasons such as chance have plural ball 2 for checking.Be judged to be ball when entering sensor 49 and detecting ball 2, master control part 100 turns back to the processing of S723, discharges the processing of this ball.
On the contrary, judge that in S728 master control part 100 checked in S729 whether celestial sphere 24 passes through initial point when ball entered sensor 49 and do not detect ball 2.When being judged to be celestial sphere 24, turn back to the processing of S702 by initial point.On the contrary, when being judged to be celestial sphere 24 not by initial point, master control part 100 turns back to the processing of S728, waits for that celestial sphere 24 passes through initial point.
The following describes practical operation according to the game device of present embodiment with said structure.
When applying power supply to game device 1, the sub-control portion 150 of each game table promptly demonstrate the munipulation (S303).After the player who sees the demonstration demonstration on the display 5m dropped into the metal coin from metal coin input port 5t, sub-control portion 150 drops into number according to the metal coin increased variable CREDIT (S103).150 pairs of card tables of sub-control portion carry out initialization (S304), write the numerical value (S305) in 1～25 scope in each hurdle, unit in this card table randomly, set simultaneously award a prize (S306).According to the card table after such setting, on display 5m, show the cell matrix (S307) of vertical Unit 10 * horizontal Unit 10.At this moment owing to be set at n=5, the zone of only vertical Unit 5 * horizontal Unit 5 shows its numerical value as effective unit.And in the unit that is set with the item of awarding a prize, show asterisk.
On the other hand, game device 1 one is coupled with power supply, and the master control part 100 of main body 3 promptly sends the grant commands (S702) of making a bet to each game table 5.In the game table 5 that receives this grant commands of making a bet, with variable CREDIT be more than 1 as condition, promptly can make a bet (S206).At this moment, the player can select 1 piece of metal coin to make a bet according to the judgement of oneself or 5 pieces of metal coin are made a bet as injecting method (S204, S205, S207) down.When selecting 1 piece of metal coin to make a bet and selected to make a bet button (D button), only see that with the regional adjacent unit of vertical Unit 5 * horizontal Unit 5 one becomes effectively (S315), and show this numerical value (S317).On the other hand, when selecting 5 pieces of metal coin to make a bet and selected to make a bet button (D button), the effective coverage increases by Unit 1 separately in vertical, horizontal, and the zone of vertical Unit 6 * horizontal Unit 6 is effective (S312), and shows this numerical value (S317).Making a bet before sending the decretum inhibitorium of making a bet by the master control part 100 of main body 3 like this is that possible (S700 S213), carries out this at every turn and makes a bet, and the zone is all extended always.And one make a bet, and variable BET also increases with its piece number.That is, according to BET and the possibility that guest's dagger-axe is set up also increases, the coin number of paying back when guest's dagger-axe is set up (CREDIT) also just is doubled and redoubled.
After this, after each game table 5 sends the decretum inhibitorium of making a bet (S704), the BET value in each game table 5 and the content of card table promptly are determined, and begin the Bingo game (S319) in each game table in the master control part 100 of main body 3.
Play at the beginning, the master control part 100 indication drive circuits 101 of main body 3 rotate cursor 771,773 (S706) by cursor drive motor 77a.As a result, be pushed the upstream of getting back to skewed guide path 75 owing to be deposited in the ball 2 of lifting column vicinity in the skewed guide path 75 that ball accumulates portion 13, so ball 2 rolls into one by one in the lifting column 15.
Then, the master control part 100 command driven circuit 101 of main body 3 drive lifting column (S707) by two lifting column drive motors 16.Thereby, enter the ball 2 among the ball acceptance division 15r of lifting column 15, be transmitted band 15c and transmit to the topmost of lifting column 15.Ball 2 is one by one rolled in the ball acceptance division 15r by skewed guide path 75, therefore continues ball 2 is transported to the topmost of lifting column 15.Be sent to the ball 2 of topmost, make it to break away from ball acceptance division 15r, send to ball dish 9 by stirring device 15o.Carry out the transmission of the ball 2 of such dependence lifting column repeatedly, add up to 10 up to what send into ball 2 in the ball dish 9 by lifting column 15.
As (A) among Figure 11 of the axonometric drawing of the regional x part of representing Figure 10 respectively and plane with (B), ball 2 one enters ball dish 9, ball 2 is promptly suppressed its moving direction by ball moving direction control panel 9b, therefore depict the arc rand as along the inner surface of ball dish 9 and be rolled into the whirlpool limit and arrive through hole 9h, fall with track arbitrarily from through hole then.The ball 2 that falls touches the steering tool 19 of propeller-like, is accommodated in the celestial sphere 24 for wherein about 3～4 one-tenth.At this moment, because celestial sphere 24 is done shaking of repetition, therefore the ball 2 that celestial sphere 24 is accommodated stirs.At this moment 37 of the projections that is provided with on the inner surface of celestial sphere 24 improve this stirring action.
Finish the transmission of ball 2 at lifting column 15 1, master control part 100 is promptly carried out the discharge of ball 2 residual in the reading device 17.(S708～S711)。
When not having ball 2 in confirming reading device 17, master control part 100 promptly indicates drive circuit 101 to rotate all celestial spheres 24 (S712) by celestial sphere drive motor 31.Like this, when the rotation of celestial sphere 24 arrived to a certain degree, the only ball 2 in the ball 2 of being accommodated in the celestial sphere 24 rolls in the inner gateway 21 (saw Figure 19 and 22), and other all balls 2 discharge from celestial sphere 24, roll into ball and accumulate portion 13 (seeing Figure 19).If celestial sphere 24 further rotates (seeing Figure 20), the ball 2 that enters inner gateway 21 path and outside entering from inner gateway 21 discharges.The ball 2 that enters outer path 18 rolls downwards along outer path 18, passes through the ball introducing port 17c of reading device 17 from the passage 18o of outer path 18
1Enter the ball path 17w (seeing Figure 21) of reading device 17.
The ball 2 that enters into ball path 17w is temporarily rested on craspedodrome path 17w by ball path controlling organization 43
1 In.Enter sensor 49 by ball and detect whether temporarily stop (S713) of ball 2, when not entering in the reading device 17, carry out the transmission of 15 pairs of balls 2 of lifting column and a revolution of celestial sphere 24 again because of a certain reason ball 2.Then, when entering sensor 49, ball detects craspedodrome path 17w
1In when having ball 2, master control part 100 indication drive circuits 101 are by ball rotating mechanism drive motor 71 beginning roating sphere rotating mechanisms 47 (S714).Its result, the roller 69 of ball rotating mechanism 47 begins to make ball 2 to rotate, and changes the direction of ball 2 relative reading unit 45a, 45b.After this, (S715～S718), these ball sequence number data of reading in are sent to each game table 5 (S721), simultaneously at display unit 17b to read its ball sequence number data by each reading unit 45a, 45b
1Last demonstration (S722).
As mentioned above, carry out the transmission of ball sequence number data and when showing, master control part 100 control drive circuits 101 are operated ball path controlling organization 43 (S723) by ball path controlling organization drive motors 44.If normal condition, during through certain hour in (S726), ball 2 is discharged the front of sensors 51 through balls, therefore is judged as pass through (S727) that ball discharge sensor 51 has detected ball 2.In contrast, discharge pass through (S727) that sensor 51 does not still detect ball 2 even passed through certain hour (S726) back ball, just can be judged as in the ball path controlling organization 43 and break down, so can't transmit ball 2, or be judged as, it is long-pending to have produced pushing away of ball 2 in the course of action 17w.In this case, can not normally carry out later operation.Circulate a notice of to have produced spherical aberration mistake (S730) to the staff for this reason, and the abort process process.
According to the operation of the back of present embodiment because of identical with the first embodiment example, its explanation of Therefore, omited.
As mentioned above, as adopt the present invention, change the size of the effective coverage in the shown matrix of display unit according to the play value amount of being made a bet, thereby can increase the establishment probability of guest's dagger-axe, so, can pay award in many ways according to player's resolution and fortune.
