Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a card-type pachinko machine in which a predetermined number of pachinko balls are rented out by inserting a card into a card insertion slot and operating a ball renting operation section.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional card-type pachinko machine, a ball lending machine is provided adjacent to a ball lending machine, and a ball lending switch, a card return switch, a card balance display and the like are provided in front of a ball tray of the pachinko machine. An operation unit is provided. Then, when a predetermined prepaid card is inserted into the card insertion slot of the ball lending machine and the ball lending switch of the ball lending operation section is operated, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are lent to the upper ball tray for supplying a hit ball. . The ball tray is provided to be openable and closable with the left side as a pivot, and the wiring of the ball lending operation unit is drawn out from the pivot side of the ball tray and wired to the back side of the pachinko machine.

[0003]

By the way, in the conventional card-type pachinko machine, the ball lending operation section is provided from the central area on the front of the ball tray to the right area. For this reason, the ball saucer provided in the front central area portion may cause the ball lending operation unit to be mistakenly operated when the player takes out the pachinko ball in the dish portion while playing a game. Unnecessary pachinko balls have been lent out, or the prepaid card has been returned, and the prepaid card must be inserted again into the card slot.

[0004] Further, by providing the ball lending operation section in the right region of the ball receiving tray, malfunctions are prevented, but the operation becomes difficult and conversely, the wiring of the ball lending operation section is reduced by the ball pulling operation section. The wiring process is very troublesome, such as obstructing the movement of the wiring and lengthening the wiring and using a wiring fixing member.

Since it is provided in the left side area 21 of the exterior member 10b, even if the player puts his hand on the ball storage tray 13 during the game, the operation buttons 30 and 31 of the ball lending switch 27 or the card return switch 28 are erroneously set. Operational situations can be eliminated. In order to operate the ball lending operation unit 22, if the left hand is reached in a natural state, the operation buttons 30, 31 of the ball lending switch 27 or the card return switch 28
Can be operated. Further, by providing the operation button 30 of the ball lending switch 27 on the right side of the operation button 31 of the card return switch 28, the operation of the frequently used ball lending switch 27 becomes easier.

[0025]

As is apparent from the above description, in the card-type pachinko machine according to the present invention, the ball lending operation unit is provided in the left region of the ball tray that can be visually recognized by the player. It is possible to prevent the player from accidentally pressing the ball lending switch or the card return switch during the game. In addition, the left side region is easily formed with the accommodation space of the ball lending operation unit without being obstructed by the ball storage dish unit.

Further, since the ball lending operation section is located on the pivot portion side of the ball receiving pan, the wiring of the ball lending operation section can be shortened, and unlike the conventional art, no wiring stopper is required, and the wiring process is not troublesome. It will be more economical.
