At the same time, it aims to increase the interest in pachinko games. [0004] For this purpose, a pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is provided with a prize ball dispensing device at an upper portion of the gaming machine, and a prize ball is provided on a double glass provided on a front surface of the gaming board. There is a gap that can pass through, and the prize balls paid out from the prize ball payout device flow down through the gap as a passage and are discharged to a ball tray on the front of the gaming machine. Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of this pachinko gaming machine, in which a double glass 3 is supported by a glass frame 2 provided on a front plate 1, and a starting winning opening 5, a large winning opening 6, and a design change behind the double glass. Gaming board 4 on which accessories such as display device 7 are mounted
Is provided. Reference numeral 8 denotes an upper ball receiving tray provided below the glass frame 2 of the front panel 1, 9 denotes a lower ball receiving tray further provided below, 10 denotes a hitting / launching handle, and 11 denotes an upper portion of the gaming machine.

Is a prize ball payout device provided immediately below the prize ball tank, and 13 is an inclined gutter provided to guide the prize ball 14 from the prize ball tank 11 to the prize ball payout device 12.
The double glass 3 includes a front glass 3a and a rear glass 3b.
The premium ball 14 can pass through the gap 15
Set to about 2 mm or more. The prize ball dispensing device 12 is fixed so that a front inclined dispensing gutter 17 following the inclined gutter 13 covers the upper end edge of the game board 4, and a prize ball is guided from the inclined gutter 13 on the dispensing gutter. The support shafts 18a and 18b are provided on the upper part of the discharge gutter 17 by bearings 19, respectively.
7 is supported in parallel with the support shaft 18a, and a bifurcated cross-section payout member 20 capable of holding the five prize balls 14a on the payout gutter is rotatably supported. Payout member 2 having a bifurcated cross section capable of holding the premium ball 14b
1 is rotatably supported. Then, the lever 22 projecting from the dispensing member 20 and the operating rod of the solenoid 23 are
4 and the payout member 20 is rotated forward by the operation of the solenoid so that the five premium balls 14a are paid out forward. Similarly, a lever protruding from the payout member 21 is provided. And the operating rod of the solenoid 25 via a pin, and the dispensing member 2 is operated by the operation of the solenoid.
The structure is such that ten prize balls 14b are paid out forward by rotating 1 forward. As shown in FIG. 3, an eave-shaped ball guiding piece 26 that can communicate with the front edge of the discharge gutter 16 is fixed to the upper edge of the rear glass 3b.
The prize ball paid out from above rolls on the ball guiding piece 26 and flows into the gap 15. Reference numeral 27 denotes a ball collecting gutter provided in the lower part of the gap 15 between the double glazings 3 in an inclined manner. The lower end of the collecting gutter communicates with the upper ball receiving tray 8 through a through hole 28. so,

When the prize ball is paid out with the glass frame 2 opened, the prize ball is provided to be discharged to the upper ball receiving tray 8 without flowing down to the game board surface. In the pachinko gaming machine configured as described above,
When the hit ball wins the starting winning opening 5, the large winning opening 6, etc. on the game board surface, the solenoid 2 is instructed by the control device.
When the payout members 20, 21 and the like are rotated by exciting the 3, 25 and the like, 5 or 10 prize balls are paid out, respectively.
