[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional pachinko game machine, a prize hole and a big prize hole are provided in a game area formed in a substantially circular shape by a guide member such as a guide rail planted in a game board. Outgoing hole where pachinko balls that cannot be accepted into the winning hole flow out is located below the big winning hole and leads the winning ball and the out ball guided to the winning hole and the out hole to the back side of the game board. I try to discharge it out of the machine. Further, the out port is provided at the lowermost end of the game area, and the lowermost end of the guide rail is inclined downward toward the game board to guide the out ball to the out port.

In addition, a thin metal plate is attached to the back side of the out opening so that the winning balls and the out balls led to the back side of the game board do not merge, so that the out opening and the winning ball collecting section are divided. Has been.

However, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine, since the out port is provided substantially orthogonal to the flow lower surface of the out ball, the out ball moves at the lower end of the arc-shaped guide rail. It is not easy to get out of the outlet, and the balls gather at the outlet and bite the balls, which may interfere with the opening and closing of the special winning opening located near the worst opening. There was a problem that the player could not win the prize because it could not be released and the "big hit" condition could not be continued and the player suffered a great disadvantage.

In order to solve such a problem, a pachinko machine having an outlet arranged in the lateral direction below the game area is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 52-127587 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-5411.
