An auxiliary variable display device 30 for starting a game is provided. This auxiliary variable display device 30 has a specific display mode when the
For example, in the case of "1", "3", "5", "7" or the like, the specific winning opening 5 is kept open for a set time, for example, 5 seconds.

Further, in the present embodiment, a display 31 for displaying the number of times of operation of the special variable winning device 6, that is, the number of continuations of the special game mode, is provided below the special variable winning device 6. .

The special variable display device 3, the special winning opening 5, the special variable winning device 6, the game ball detecting sensor 1
2. The flow path changing means 18, the storage means 29, the auxiliary variable display device 30, the display 31 and the like are controlled by a control means (not shown) provided behind the game board 1. I have.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described. When the launching device operated by the player launches the game ball B above the game area G, the game ball B falls down along the random flow path downward in the game area G.

Some of these game balls B directly enter the specific winning opening 5 from around the warp mechanism 4,
In addition, some game balls B are provided at the guide port 1 of the warp mechanism 4.
It is taken in from 1.

When the game ball B is taken into the warp mechanism 4 as described above, the passage of the game ball is detected by the game ball detection sensor 12, and the auxiliary variable display device 30 starts the auxiliary variable game based on the detection result. When the display mode in the game result is the specific display mode described above, the specific winning opening 5 is opened for a predetermined time,
The probability of winning the specific winning opening 5 is increased. When the display mode is changed to a display mode other than the specific display mode, the specific winning opening 5 is kept closed and the normal winning probability is maintained.

When a prize is made in the specific winning opening 5, a right to shift to a special game mode is generated, and a variable display game on the special variable display device 3 is started.
If a prize is made to the specific prize port 5 further during the variable display game, the above-mentioned right is generated by this prize. However, this right is set to a predetermined upper limit (in the present embodiment, 4), and the number of times is displayed in the storage means 29.

When the variable display game on the special variable display device 3 is started and the stop display form as a result of the game becomes a specific display form, the special variable prize winning device 6 is operated, so that the player can enjoy the game. The game is shifted to a specific game mode in which the game ball B is advantageous in winning. This game mode ends when the number of winning balls to the special variable winning device 6 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). This is defined as one cycle and provided in the special variable winning device 6. The process ends after a predetermined cycle (for example, 15 cycles) is continued, on condition that a winning in the continuous winning opening is performed.

On the other hand, the game ball B taken into the warp mechanism 4 is placed on the distribution plate 21 of the flow path changing means 18 in the first direction.
When held at the position (hereinafter, this state is referred to as a first state), as shown in FIG. 4, it is dropped directly from the guide port 11 to the upstream end of the first guide path 13, and As shown by the arrow in the figure, while rolling on the first taxiway 13,
The first guide path 13 is guided to a wide discharge path 15 formed at the center of the first guide path 13 and flows down from the discharge path 15 to a specific winning opening 5 provided thereunder.

Here, the discharge path 15 formed in the first guide path 13 is formed to be wide as described above, and the game ball B taken in the warp mechanism 4 is
The momentum of the game ball B rolling on the first guide path 13 differs depending on the difference in the momentum and the rotation when entering the guide opening 11, and the game ball B moves through the discharge path 15 through an arrow in FIG. As shown by the arrow, a flow-down path that varies in the width direction is taken. Then, the momentum of the game ball B is appropriate, and when the game ball B enters the guide groove 17 formed in the discharge path 15, the game ball B is directly above the special winning opening 5 by the guide groove 17. The special prize port 5 is almost certainly made to flow into the special prize port 5, but the other game balls B flow down to the side of the special prize port 5 and no prize is made. Therefore, the winning probability of the gaming ball B dropped into the first taxiway 13 into the specific winning opening 5 is low.

The sorting plate 21 of the flow path changing means 18
Is located at the second position (hereinafter, this state is referred to as a second state), the game ball B passed through the game ball detection sensor 12, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, After being caught by the ball receiving portion 21a of the sorting plate 21, it is sent to the guide portion 21c through the through hole 21d, and dropped into the upstream end of the second guide path 14 by the guide portion 21c. In this embodiment, the rotation of the sorting plate 21 to the second position is performed by a drive mechanism 22 which is operated by a signal from the control means. Plate 2
1 is started, and the drive of the motor 23 is stopped when the detection piece 25 attached to the rotation shaft 20 is detected by the photo sensor 26.

The game ball B guided to the second taxiway 14 in this way is rolled toward the center on the second taxiway 14 and formed on the second taxiway 14. It is dropped into the narrow discharge path 16 and the discharge path 1
By 6, it is caused to flow down to the guide groove 17 of the first guide path 13. Since the discharge path 16 is formed to have a width substantially equal to the diameter of the game ball B, the flow path of the game ball B guided by the discharge path 16 to flow down is indicated by an arrow in FIG. So, almost one system,
It is surely guided to the guide groove 17 and the guide path 1
As described above, the game ball B guided to 7 has its lateral swing suppressed and is almost certainly made to win the specific winning opening 5. Therefore, most of the game balls B guided to the second taxiway 14 are made to win the specific winning opening 5, and the winning probability is greatly increased.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the probability of winning the specific winning opening 5 can be easily changed and can be changed without performing nail adjustment or the like. In addition, the drive mechanism 22 allows the winning probability to be changed even during the game, and diversification of the game conditions can be easily achieved.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the change of the winning probability by the drive mechanism 22 is performed under the following program, for example.

(1) In the state where the variable display game result on the special variable display device 3 is in a specific display mode and the game mode is shifted to the specific game mode, the flow path changing means 18 is set to the second state, The second state is maintained until the display mode of the variable display game is changed to the specific display mode again. As a result, it is possible to increase the probability of winning in the specific winning opening 5 after the end of the special game mode, and increase the probability of occurrence of the next special game mode.

(2) Activate in association with the auxiliary variable display device 30. That is, in the above description, when the result of the variable display game of the auxiliary variable display device 30 has a specific display mode, the specific winning opening 5 is opened to increase the winning probability. Further, the auxiliary variable display device 30 sets the flow path changing unit 18 to the second state for a predetermined time for some display modes such as "3" and "7" in this specific display mode. is there. This not only diversifies the game form, but also enables the game ball B in the game area G even when the specific winning opening 5 is opened.
May not be won depending on the flow-down route, the timing of reaching the specific winning opening 5, etc., but the game ball B guided to the specific winning opening 5 through the warp mechanism 4 in the second state is almost certainly won. Therefore, this is a process for increasing the winning probability. In this case, the specific winning opening 5 is open,
Alternatively, it can be set to any of the closed states.

(3) When the number of times the variable display game generated by the game ball B winning the specific winning opening 5 can be started is zero, that is, when there is no storage in the storage means 29, the flow path changing means 18 is the second state. As a result, the probability of winning the specific winning opening 5 is increased,
The number of times of starting the variable display game is set as the appropriate value.

(4) Periodically changing the flow path changing means 18
Switch between the state and the second state. As a result, the winning probability of the specific winning opening 5 is adjusted to an appropriate value.

As described above, according to the ball game machine of the present embodiment, the game ball B taken in the warp mechanism 4
Are distributed to the first taxiway 13 and the second taxiway 14 by the flow path changing means 18, and then these taxiways 1
The drainage passages 15 and 16 formed in the drainage passages 3 and 14 flow down toward the specific winning opening 5.
When the downflow path 16 is made to flow down, the downflow path is set to a different downflow path in each of the discharge paths 15 and 16, so that the winning probability of the warp mechanism 4 to the specific winning opening 5 is changed.

Therefore, the winning probability of the specific winning opening 5 is changed only by operating the flow path changing means 18 in the warp mechanism 4, so that the operation is easy.

Further, in the present embodiment, the operation of the flow path changing means 18 is performed by the driving mechanism 22, so that, for example, the winning probability to the specific winning opening 5 is adjusted according to the game situation. By doing so, it is possible to adjust the balance between the profits of the player and the game store without impairing the interest of the game.

Since the mechanism for adjusting the winning probability is only configured to make the widths of the discharge paths 15 and 16 different, the configuration is simple, reliable operation can be obtained, and production is easy. is there.

Further, in the present embodiment, the winning opening for which the winning probability is adjusted by the warp mechanism 4 is the specific winning opening 5 as a starting opening for starting the variable display game on the special variable display device 3. Since it is done, the start probability of the variable display game is adjusted to an appropriate value,
Interesting games are realized.

The various shapes, dimensions, and the like of the components shown in the above embodiment are merely examples, and can be variously changed based on the type of ball game machine to be applied, design requirements, and the like. For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which two guide paths are provided has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
It is also possible to provide three or more. In addition, the flow path changing means 18 is moved to the distribution dish 21
Has been shown, but instead of this,
It is also possible to provide a flow path changing means that is always positioned below the guide port 11 and configured to constantly capture the game balls B taken in and distribute the game balls B to a plurality of guide paths. Furthermore, although the specific winning opening has been exemplified as the winning opening, application to a general winning opening is of course also possible.

[0053]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a game ball flowing down around the variable display device is formed so as to surround the front side peripheral portion of the variable display portion of the variable display device through the guide port. When the game ball flows into the recessed chamber, the game ball is moved to one of a plurality of guide paths formed in a shape that varies the winning rate of the game ball to the specific winning opening by the flow path changing means on the upstream side. By being sorted and guided to the upper side of the specific winning opening below the variable display device, the winning rate of game balls to the specific winning opening becomes different from each other, so that it is more interesting than before. You can play games.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the game balls rolling on each guide path flow down toward the specific winning opening via the discharge path. Since it is formed in different widths so as to make the winning rate for the mouth different, the winning rate for the specific winning mouth changes variously,
It is possible to show more interesting games than before.
