Though omitted diagram, on lower stage 65, carried a plurality of coins with the plane stacking states.Be provided with push rod 68 in the inboard of lower stage 65.As Figure 23 clearly represented, push rod 68 was supported on the lower stage 65 by the roller 69 of configuration before and after it.Thus, push rod 68 can carry out front and back along lower stage 65 and come and go to move.What Figure 19～Figure 24 represented is the state that push rod 68 retreats.By not shown push rod driving mechanism, push rod 68 is being moved from illustrated position to relying on than it outstanding position, the place ahead.The push rod driving mechanism for example also can use by slider crank mechanism the motor rotation transformation is employed various mechanisms on known push-down game machine such as mechanism of the back and forth movement of push rod 68.

Come and go by push rod 68 front and back, the coin of falling on the lower stage 65 is collided, and the effect that produces pellet shot from a slingshot between mutually of the coin on the lower stage 65, and according to the situation of its pellet shot from a slingshot effect, coin falls from the leading edge 65a or the lateral margin 65b (with reference to Figure 20) of lower stage 65.The coin that falls is recycled in the not shown coin hoppers device.The coin that falls from leading edge 65a is detected by not shown coin free fall sensor, only detected piece of number is connect dish 50 from the coin hoppers device to coin and carries out specie payment.

Below with reference to Figure 25～Figure 31 the details of coin guiding device 63 is described.As shown in figure 25, coin guiding device 63 has bootstrap block 70 and the driving mechanism 71 that drives bootstrap block 70.The detailed structure of bootstrap block 70 such as Figure 29～shown in Figure 31.Bootstrap block 70 is on common substrate 72 a plurality of (being 10) coin guide member 73 equidistantly to be arranged by certain orientation among the figure.Coin guide member 73 is that the bottom is the resin forming product that cuboid, a top side are provided with the coin receiving plane 73a of semicircle tubular.Coin guide member 73 employed synthetic resin need appropriate rub resistance for the friction with coin, and for example adopting POM is preferred as the material of coin guide member 73.At the top of coin guide member 73, be provided with protuberance 73b.Protuberance 73b is along the axis direction of coin receiving plane 73a, in other words is exactly that the play fore-and-aft direction of card 43 extends.But the scope that protuberance 73b can be provided with is subjected to the latter half of restriction of coin guide member 73 on the fore-and-aft direction of recreation card 43.Coin guide member 73 on substrate 72 is provided with gap 74 each other.These gaps 74 are bigger slightly than the thickness of coin.Gap 74 can be provided with by certain interval, but the gap 74 of present embodiment is the structure that enlarges gradually along with near verifier 64.This is the cause that makes the obstruction that coin do not produce in order to fall in the gap 74 simultaneously when a plurality of coins in gap 74.

As Figure 30 and shown in Figure 31, each coin guide member 73 utilizes mounting screw 75 to install respectively from bottom one side of substrate 72.Therefore, if specific coin guide member 73 is dirty or damaged, then only its coin guide member 73 is just taken off and can change from substrate 72.A side is equipped with base station 76 below substrate 72.Base station 76 has the support portion 76a of supporting guide piece 70 and the connecting portion 76b that rearward extends from support portion 76a.For connecting portion 76b, 76a tilts to the front lower place by the support portion, forms on substrate 72 towards the inclination of verifier 64 to downslope, and coin guide member 73 also from end 73c forward end 73d inclination gradually thereafter with reducing.

As Figure 25～shown in Figure 28, also have: be fixed on base station framework 77 on the cabinet 41, on base station framework 77 by pair of guide rails 78 to the left and right direction move freely the supported slide block 79 in ground and as the motor 80 of slide block 79 drive sources.The rear end one side direction below bending of slide block 79, its dogleg section is equipped with guided plate 81.The guiding groove 81a that below being formed with upwards on the guided plate 81, extends.On the other hand, on the output shaft 80a of motor 80 crank arm 82 is installed, it can rotate with output shaft 80a one, at the front end of this crank arm 82, crank-pin 83 is installed.The front end of crank-pin 83 inserts the guiding groove 81a of guided plate 81.And, above base station framework 77, disposing bootstrap block 70, the connecting portion 76b of its base station 76 is connected with slide block 79.

Therefore, in case the output shaft 80a of motor 80 is rotated by certain orientation, then it moves through crank-pin 83 and guided plate 81 and is transformed into slide block 79 back and forth movement of direction to the left and right, makes the bootstrap block 70 that is connected carry out back and forth movement to the left and right by its slide block 79 and base station 76.As shown in figure 26, be arranged on coin guide member 73 slit 74 each other on the bootstrap block 70, extend to same direction by hole 64a with the coin of verifier 64.In addition, as shown in figure 28, the substrate 72 that will become 74 ends of gap is configured in than verifier 64 by the top, and tilts to the front lower place towards verifier 64.

According to such formation,, fall on the coin receiving plane 73a of bootstrap block 70 from the coin that coin drops into device 47 inputs and rolls at coin guided plate 67.Because coin receiving plane 73a is the structure of semicircle tubular,, slips over coin receiving plane 73a and be directed in the gap 74 so fall coin there.Thus, the coin that falls with the state that tilts slightly to center one side of recreation card 43 from coin guided plate 67 towards, consistent with the fore-and-aft direction (directions that extend in gap 74) of recreation card 43.Be directed into the coin in gap 74, with coin by hole 64a with same towards state uprightly tumble on the substrate 72.In addition, because the top at coin receiving plane 73a is provided with protuberance 73b, fall the coin of coin receiving plane 73a from guided plate 67, even temporarily become the lodging state, its coin is not stabilized in the state of laying across by contacting the balance of breaking coin with protuberance 73b so worry coin.In addition, by with the bump of coin protuberance 73b, weakened the force of coin, thereby made coin fall into gap 74 reliably.Then, fall in the verifier 64, fall worry on the verifier 64 with the state of laying across with regard to having eliminated coin by making coin pass gap 74.In addition, by the adjustment effect of protuberance 73b, relevant with the length of protuberance 73b to the coin direction.For example, if protuberance 73b is short, then the effect of protuberance 73b just relatively diminishes, and coin increases with the frequency that the state of laying across drops to verifier 64, and consequently coin enters into the probability reduction of verifier 64.

By make by driving mechanism 71 bootstrap block 70 to the left and right direction carry out back and forth movement, at left and right directions gap 74 and coin by hole 64a position consistency or inconsistently be switched gradually.If gap 74 is unanimous on the whole by hole 64a with coin, that is, if when when direction draws a straight line them forwards, backwards coin is fallen to verifier 64, then its coin just passes through hole 64a by coin.Fall the coin of verifier 64 in the different therewith moment, be verified device 64 and rebound to lower stage 65.In addition, as shown in figure 28, on verifier 64, be provided with the guide rail 84 that to be directed to by the coin of coin by hole 64a in the coin hoppers.

Like this, the Coin game machine of present embodiment, since be provided with put into the coin of recreation in the card 43 make before by verifier 64 itself and the coin of verifier 64 pass through hole 64a towards consistent coin guiding device 63, so, even there is not the player of prowess, also can enjoy coin on verifier 64 by or the recreation do not passed through.In addition, substrate 72 and coin guide member 73 for coin guiding device 63, have reverse gradient with Figure 31, promptly, also can have the leading section 73d low more inclination of end 73c more backward, and verifier 64 is configured in rearward end 73c one side of coin guide member 73 from coin guide member 73.

Figure 32～Figure 34 represents the detailed structure of Coin dispensing device 44.Coin dispensing device 44, be in order to get Grand Prix etc. a large amount of coins to be discharged in recreation card 43 and the device that is provided with, it has: coin connects dish 90, connect dish 90 at coin behind with about recreation card 43 modes connected to one another conveyer belt 91, the two ends that are configured in conveyer belt 91 and the upper stage 62 of extending between ejector 92.Coin connects dish 90, axial region 90a with the rear end, top is that fulcrum rotatably is provided with, by not shown driver, be driven between forwards almost horizontally extending position of readiness and the operating position (Figure 33 and position shown in Figure 34) lifted for the front end of naming a person for a particular job with axial region 90a from axial region 90a.Driving the driver that coin connects dish 90, can be for example to produce the device that rotatablely moves as motor, also can be to produce straight-line device as cylinder.The driver of type if rotatablely move, then it can be rotatablely moved send to axial region 90a around, make coin connect the dish 90 the rotation.If the driver of linear motion-type then can utilize linkage that its rectilinear motion is converted to coin and connect rotatablely moving of dish 90.

Can never illustrated coin hoppers connect dish 90 payment coins to coin, move to operating position from position of readiness in case make coin connect dish 90, then the coins that connect above the dish 90 of coin just fall on conveyer belt 91.Then, by making conveyer belt 91 any one direction operation to the left and right, the coin above the conveyer belt 91 just is sent to the ejector 92 of any one party, by this ejector 92, and can be to the upper stage 62 payment coins of any one party.

Like this, dispose conveyer belt 91 owing to connecing between dish 90 and the ejector 92 at coin, thus the length of ejector 92 can be shortened, and can when the control coin connects dish 90 height, give sufficient inclination to ejector 92.If do not adopt conveyer belt 91, ejector 92 will be extended to the central part that coin connects dish 90 left and right directions, be provided with and connect dish 90 coin from coin and fall the device that direction is pointed to the ejector 92 of any one party, but in this case, will give ejector 92 enough inclinations and the whole height of ejector 92 will increase, the top is changed in the position that coin need be connect dish 90 of matching therewith.Yet in the case, the whole height of auxiliary equipment 3 will increase, thereby produces the monitor 6 of host apparatus 2 behind or the inconvenience that lot machine 7 is blocked.To this, present embodiment because the level of utilizing conveyer belt 91 to carry out coin the most nearby in each upper stage 62 is transported, so ejector 92 is shortened, can suppress whole height.Therefore, can reduce the position that coin connects dish 90.

(summary of recreation)

With reference to Figure 37～Figure 40 the game content that game machine 1 is carried out is described.The game machine 1 of present embodiment, except dropping into that device 47 drops into and the coin of falling lower stage 65 from coin, release with push rod 68, make beyond the basic game of its so-called push-down game machine that falls down from lower stage 65, also the recreation that provides the prize-winning coin to verifier 64 to be associated to the player.Figure 37 represents in order to carry out such recreation shown game picture 200 on the monitor 60 of recreation position 40.Game picture 200 comprises: mainly recreation portion 201, in the dial instrument portion 202 of the lower end of picture 200 horizontal arrangement, in the Grand Prix count section 203 of picture 200 left end arranged perpendicular.

In main recreation portion 201, carry out such recreation, promptly, make three row pattern band 201a～201c operation separately from each other as the wheel disc of fruit machine up and down, when when stop each pattern band 201a～201c appropriate opportunity, can see become up and down or oblique specific lottery winner.To carry out the recreation of main recreation portion 201 to the prize-winning coin of verifier 64 as the trigger point.Can suitably determine the pattern and the lottery winner of expression in main recreation portion 201, but, also can decide as shown in Figure 38 as an example.Here, so-called probability change is meant the operation that becomes lottery winner's probability rising certain level.The recreation of what is called center is the recreation that utilizes host apparatus 2 to be carried out, and so-called single innings the meaning is meant only gives in center recreation object for appreciation right once, and three innings the meaning is to show in the center recreation to play three times right continuously, and gives different implications respectively.

The game picture 301 that the monitor of the game picture 300 that Figure 39 shows on the monitor 6 of host apparatus 2 during to the center game running, Figure 40 recreation position during to the center game running shows has carried out dividing other expression.As Figure 39 institute clearly represents, on the picture 300 of center recreation, shown map 302 with periphery path 303 and interior all paths 304.Each path 303 is that tetragonal 305 is linked to be square substantially and constitutes.In addition, in the drawings, additional Latin alphabet a, b, c ... distinguish piece 305, when not needing to distinguish, just represent with reference marks 305.The formation in each path 303,304 of map 302 is kept at as cartographic information among the ROM101 of host apparatus 2.

On path 303 or 304, the chess piece 306 of corresponding each recreation position 40 is with recreation item sign indicating number (in 1～6 any one) demonstration.The game picture 301 of Figure 40 is in game picture 300, will be positioned at the expression that chess piece 306 parts of represented recreation position 40 correspondences of picture 301 are amplified.

In case give the right of object for appreciation center recreation by the recreation of recreation position 40, just can utilize lot machine 7 to select any one numerical value in 1～8 on its recreation position, have only the chess piece 306 of the piece number that equates with this number of selecting gained, on path 303 or 304, move to certain orientation.In each piece 305, putting down in writing the remuneration content that the center recreation is paid, in case chess piece 306 stops, just the player of object for appreciation center recreation is paid in the remuneration of record content in the piece that it is stopped.

For example, if chess piece 306 stops among the piece 305a that is putting down in writing " 30 ", " 50 " numerical value, the player just can obtain to equate with the numerical value of there record the coin of piece number.All outside paths 303 are marked with the piece of " SJP chance " (to call the SJP piece in the following text.) 305b, if chess piece 306 is parked in the there, just obtained the right of super Grand Prix.In this case, utilizing 7 pairs in lot machine whether to obtain super Grand Prix draws lots.Then, if obtain super Grand Prix, the player just obtains the shown piece number of the SJP display part 307 of SJP piece 305b outside adjacency (to call SJP piece of number in the following text.) coin.In addition, just append piece number of SJP piece of number regulation during by SJP piece 305b when chess piece 306.

On the other hand, the piece of " the BB chance " indicated on interior all paths 304 is (to call the BB piece in the following text.) 305c arranged.In a single day chess piece 306 is parked in here, has just obtained the right of middle wholesale prize.In this case, utilizing 7 pairs in lot machine whether to obtain the wholesale prize draws lots.Then, if suffered the wholesale prize, the player has just obtained the represented piece number of the BB display part 308 of central part configuration in interior all paths 304 (to call BB piece of number in the following text.) coin.In addition, just append piece number of BB piece of number regulation during by BB piece 305c when chess piece 306.

Indicate the bend piece 305d of " GO " in four jiaos of configurations in each path 303,304.If chess piece 306 is parked on the bend piece 305d, then chess piece 306 just moves between all paths 303 and the interior all paths 304 outside.Between path 303,304, as long as the represented numerical value of contrast piece 305a just can be understood, interior all paths 304 are than the high prize of periphery path 303 easier acquisitions.In addition to the above, on path 303,304, also suitably be provided with preferential 305e, f ..., because this is not a main idea of the present invention, so omit explanation.

Constitute a games system if a plurality of game machines 1 are connected to each other, just use between game machine 1 jointly in above-mentioned interior all paths 304.Just each game machine 1 in a games system ROM101 stored have inside the Pass the configuration information in circuit footpath 304 equate.In addition, between these game machines 1, the position of the chess piece 306 in being configured on all paths 304 or BB piece of number are also for total.These information are stored as information in the RAM102 of game machine 1, but these information are carried out suitable exchange and maintained uniformity between game machine 1.

Then, on interior all paths 304, also show the chess piece 309 of other game machine 1.When these chess pieces 309 were parked on the BB piece 305c, the recreation position 40 of the game machine 1 of corresponding that chess piece 309 had just obtained the right of middle wholesale prize.In addition, when chess piece 309 passed through BB piece 305c, the whole game machines 1 in same games system just appended piece number of BB piece of number regulation.Just BB piece of number has the feature of the common what is called progress prize of using between a plurality of game machines 1.

Like this, the part of map 302 is used between a plurality of game machines 1 jointly, recreation bonus for its common sparing, by between those game machines 1, setting correlation, just make the player not only will be careful other players of same game machine 1, also to be careful the player's of other game machines 1 game state, thereby improve interest recreation.In addition, owing to be the common bonus of overlapping accumulation between a plurality of game machines 1, so, compare with accumulation bonus on independent game machine, can win more bonus, therefore, also can improve the interest of recreation.

(about control sequence)

In case recreation position control program begins, control device 110 is drawn lots with random number with regard to the combinations of patterns that at first should show in the main recreation portion 201 of step S101 to game picture 200, controls the displaying contents of main recreation portion 201 by the demonstration of its lot result.Be exactly to make each pattern band 201a～201c running specifically, control content displayed separately, make it obtain the combinations of patterns of drawing lots and determining.

Then, judge at step S102 whether probability change beginning role (still, removing " 777 ") sets up,, just the probability change is indicated to be set at 1 and enter step S106 at step S103 if probability change beginning role sets up.On the other hand, when probability change beginning role is false, just enters step S104 and judge that the probability change finishes the role and whether sets up, indicate and be reset to 0 and advance to step S106 if set up just probability to be changed.Probability change sign is considered when the lot of step S101, if sign is set to 1, just being set at 0 o'clock than probability becomes the probability height that prize-winning role (function shown in Figure 38) sets up.

At step S106, drive coin hoppers 115, with correspondence draw lots the coin of role's piece number of setting up from specie payment mouth 61 to upper stage 62 payments.At this moment, on display 6, show the image that coin falls, synchronous therewith, by from specie payment mouth 61 payment coins, also can play the image that coin outpours.

Enter step S107 after the specie payment, the value of the JP step that RAM112 is stored adds 1.The value of JP step equates with the bright lamp number of the Grand Prix count section 203 of game picture 200, when the value of RAM112 is upgraded, just consistently also upgrades the bright lamp number of Grand Prix count section 203 with it.Judge in following step S108 whether the JP step reaches the maximum of regulation.If reach maximum, then set up and enter step S109 as JP, make the coin that accumulates above all fall coin guiding device 63 then by the horizontal level → operating position → horizontal level that drives upper stage 62, can pay the Grand Prix coins to lower stage 65.At this moment, also can be from specie payment mouth 61 payment coins.After this, at step S110 the JP step on the RAM112 is reset to initial value 0 and Exit Game position control program.

On the other hand, when the condition of step S104 is negated, just enter step S111, judge whether center single innings of role of recreation (with reference to Figure 38) sets up.Just enter step S112 if set up, and the control device 100 of notice host apparatus 2, center single innings of role of recreation sets up.After this, enter step S106, carry out single innings of role's of corresponding center recreation specie payment.

If the condition of step S111 is just entered step S113 by negative, judge whether center three innings of roles of recreation set up.Just enter step S114 if set up, drive upper stage 62 and carry out level recreation position → operating position → level recreation position.At the step S115 that follows, three innings of roles' of control device 100 centers recreation of notice host apparatus 2 establishment.After this, enter step S103, enter step S106 after probability change sign is set at 1, carry out three innings of roles' of corresponding center recreation specie payment.

At step S113, when three innings of roles are false, just enter step S116, judge in the main recreation portion 201 after pattern band 201a～201c stops whether wheel disc pattern (from the pattern shown in following second section of Figure 38) exists.Just enter step S117 if exist, on the value of the dial instrument that RAM112 preserved, add 1.The value of dial instrument equals the bright lamp number of the dial instrument portion 202 of game picture 200, in case upgrade the value of RAM112, just consistently also upgrades the bright lamp number of dial instrument portion 202 with it.In the step S118 that follows, judge whether the value of dial instrument reaches the maximum of regulation (being 25) here.Just enter step S119 if reach maximum, control device 100 centers single innings of role of recreation of notice host apparatus 2 sets up.After this, at step S120 the value of the dial instrument on the RAM112 is reset to initial value 0 and Exit Game position control program.

In addition, at step S116, when being judged as no dial instrument pattern, or when step S118 judges that its value is not maximum, just skip later processing and Exit Game position control program.

Below, the processing of the control device 100 of host apparatus 2 is described.Figure 42 and Figure 43 represent the center game control program that the control device 100 of host apparatus 2 is carried out for the recreation of realization center.This program, when the notice received from the center single innings of role of recreation of the control device 110 of any one auxiliary equipment 3 or three innings of roles, just the recreation position 40 with single innings of role or three innings of role's establishments is that object carries out.That is,, just the recreation position 40 of single innings of role of center recreation or three innings of role's establishments is carried out if following processing has no particular limits.

In case the center game control program begins, control device 100 just at first judges whether the role of advice note office at step S200.When single innings of role has notified, just enter step S201, the variable N that judges the recreation number of times is set at initial value 1, (just, when notifying three innings of roles) enters step S202 variable N is set at initial value 3 when single innings of role fails to give notice.Enter step S203 after setting variable N, carry out wheel disc and draw lots, that is, utilize lot machine 7 to carry out the lot of any one numerical value in 1～8.Then, for the piece number that equates by institute's value advances the position of the chess piece 306 on the map 302, just upgrade the positional information of the chess piece of storing among the RAM102 306.The positional information of chess piece 306 is corresponding with the information of identification recreation position 40 and remain in the RAM102, and the positional information that upgrade this moment is the information with the recreation position 40 corresponding chess pieces 306 that single innings of role of center recreation or three innings of roles are set up.The renewal of corresponding chess piece positional information, the demonstration on the monitor 6 also is updated.
