Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the amusement by making the movement of a game ball itself more complicated. SOLUTION: Game balls which have entered from entrances 22a and 22b which are formed at the center of the uppermost section are guided to a stage 40 on the lower section through game ball passages 30a and 30b which are arranged on the right and the left. The guided game balls are guided to an outlet guiding section 44 at the center of the lowermost section of the stage 40 by curved surface slope sections 42b and 42a, and discharged from an outlet 70. In this case, the curved surface slope sections 42b and 42a are formed as curved surfaces of which the curvatures become smaller as becoming closer to the outlet guiding section 44. Guard walls 46a and 46b are provided on the curved surface slope sections 42b and 42a to prevent game balls from dropping downward. Then, passage introducing sections 48a and 48b, which guide game balls to the outlet guiding section 44 while separating by a specified distance or more from the end section on the outlet 70 side, are provided at an area reaching the outlet guiding section 44. Thus, a game player is made to enjoy a smooth movement or a movement with a depth of game balls, and the amusement is increased.

The game ball that has moved 2b is transferred to the exit 70 of the exit guiding section 44.
Guides the outlet guide 44 in a direction away from the side end.
From the back to the exit 70 through the exit guide 44
Can be done. That is, the game ball is transferred to the exit guiding section 44.
Can be moved from the back of the
You. In the embodiment, along the guard walls 46a, 46b.
Make the moving game ball smoothly move to the back
So that the exit guide section 44 is moved away from the guard walls 46a and 46b.
In a substantially triangular shape having a side toward. As shown in FIG. 2, the stage 40
From upper passage portions 32a, 32b of ball passages 30a, 30b
The nail 18a shown in FIG.
The game ball that has been reflected by colliding with the
Page 40. In addition, game ball
How is introduced into stage 40?
Are the collision speed and collision angle of the game ball against the nails 18a and 18b.
Is determined by Next, the game ball of the embodiment configured as described above.
The operation of the game ball in the guide 20 will be described. Entering
The game balls entering the mouths 22a and 22b enter the game ball passage 30.
a, 30b through the upper passages 32a, 32b.
The connection is made by adjusting the speed by the passages 34a and 34b.
Stages from the communication ports 38a, 38b of the parts 36a, 36b
It is guided to 40 curved slope portions 42a and 42b. Kula
The link passages 34a and 34b are connected to the communication ports 38a and 38b.
To the curved slope portions 42a and 42b of the stage 40
Game ball exits through curved slopes 42a and 42b.
The curved slope part 4 on the opposite side once passing through the mouth guiding part 44
The speed is adjusted to reach 2b and 42a. Play
The technical ball is moved from the upper passage portion 32a to the crank passage portion 34a,
34b and collision with the wall of the crank passage 34
a, 34b hit against wall surface by crank,
From the roads 34a, 34b to the connecting parts 36a, 36b
Kinetic energy is deprived by collision with
The degree is adjusted, so that the crank passage portions 34a and 34b
By adjusting the crank, the connection ports 38a, 38b
The speed of the game ball when guided to the stage 40
Speed can be set. That is, in the embodiment
Adjusts the crank passage portions 34a and 34b in this manner.
-ing Thus, communication of the game ball passages 30a and 30b
The curved slope portion 4 of the stage 40 from the openings 38a, 38b
The game balls guided to 2a and 42b are tuned as described above.
The exit guiding portion 44 is passed through the surface slope portions 42a and 42b.
Once passed, the opposite curved slopes 42b and 42a
Reach. At this time, the game ball is placed on the guard walls 46a and 46b.
A passage introducing portion 48 provided at an end portion leading to the exit guiding portion 44
a, 48b, the exit guiding portion 4
The curved slope portions 42b, 4 on the opposite side passing through the back of
2a. On the opposite curved slopes 42b, 42a
The reached game ball is reversed and returns to the exit guiding section 44.
You. Also at this time, the exit guiding portion 4 of the guard walls 46a, 46b
4 at the passage introduction portions 48a and 48b provided at the end portion.
Since it is pushed further in the back,
Become mobile. Therefore, the game ball, exit guidance
The part 44 is moved from the back to the exit 70 side.
When the game ball moves the exit guiding section 44 to the exit 70 side
Means that the game ball moves from the curved slope portions 42a and 42b.
Due to the moving speed and the inclination to the front side of the exit guide section 44.
Moving at the speed of the sum of the moving speeds (vector sum)
Not only move linearly, but also perform complex movements
Exit 70. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the aforementioned
As it did, it collided with the nails 18a and 18b and reflected
A game ball is introduced to the stage 40 of the game ball guide 20.
Cases arise. When a game ball is introduced to the stage 40
Depends on the speed of the game balls introduced,
As described above, it is guided to the curved slope portions 42a and 42b.
With or without passing through the exit guide 44
Move the exit guide section 44 from the back and exit from the exit 70
Go. At this time, the game balls are also guard walls 46a, 46b.
Passage introduction part 4 provided at the end leading to the exit guide part 44
8a, 48b, it is pushed to the back, so the exit guiding section
44 is moved from the back to the exit 70 side. The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is shown in FIG.
A display device is provided below the center of the exit 70 of the game ball guiding device 20.
Opening for starting the variable display of symbols on the display 12
14 and a special winning opening 16 are attached. Accordingly
Which position of the exit 70 of the game ball guide 20 of the embodiment
Depending on which direction the game ball comes out
It is decided whether it will be easy to win or not, and to the big winning opening 16
Is determined. In the game ball guide 20 of the embodiment, the curved surface
The game balls from the slope portions 42a and 42b enter the passage introducing portion 4
8a, 48b and exit exit guide 44 from the back
Since it moves toward the mouth 70, a prize to the starting opening 14 or
Gives a thrill to the player when winning in the grand prize opening 16
I can get it. That is, the passage introducing portions 48a, 48b
Can give the game ball complicated movements
In this way, the interest of the player is further inspired and the interest is improved
It is trying to. The game ball guiding device 20 of the embodiment described above
According to this, the communication ports 38a, 3 of the game ball passages 30a, 30b.
A smooth tune of the game ball led to the stage 40 from 8b
The curved slope portions 42a and 42b formed by the surfaces
To the exit guiding section 44, so that the player can play the game ball.
The movement on a smooth curved surface can be enjoyed.
This can inspire the interest of the player and improve the interest.
Can be. Further, according to the game ball guiding device 20 of the embodiment,
If the game balls are exit-guided by the passage introduction parts 48a and 48b
By pushing it toward the back of the part 44,
Moved to give rough movements and give players expectations
Can be made. Further, according to the game ball guiding device 20 of the embodiment,
If the game ball guided to the stage 40
Once passed, then inverted and led to exit guide 44
By configuring so that the game ball to the player
Players move by having expectations
Can inspire and enhance the interest. According to the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment,
The game ball is put on the stage 40 by the nails 18a and 18b.
The game on stage 40
The movement of the ball can be entertained by the player. According to the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the game ball
The starting port 14 and the big winning port 1 are located below the exit 70 of the inductor 20.
By placing 6, the game ball to the game ball guide 20
Therefore, it can be guided to the starting opening 14 and the winning opening 16
You. As a result, the game ball to the starting port 14 for the player
It is possible to raise the expectation of winning a prize or winning in the grand prize opening 16
This can further enhance the interest. In the game ball guiding device 20 of the embodiment, the game ball
A crank-shaped crank passage portion 34 is provided in the roads 30a and 30b.
a and 34b are provided and the stages are opened from the communication ports 38a and 38b.
