Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with a tray for receiving a game medium dispensed from a dispense port at a lower center of a front surface of a machine body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine that uses a game ball as a game medium or a gaming machine such as a slot game machine that uses a coin as a game medium, a saucer is provided at the lower front portion of the machine body. The game medium paid out from the payout opening can be received and stored.

By the way, in a pachinko game machine, an upper tray and a lower tray are provided in a row at the lower front portion of the machine body.
The game balls in the upper tray are automatically supplied one by one to the launch position at the start end of the launch rail by the ball feed mechanism, and are sequentially launched to the game board surface by pressing with a launch mallet through the turning operation of the launch handle. Further, when a game ball is won in the winning opening on the game board surface, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball. The paid game balls are sent to the upper saucer, but a large hit occurs where a large number of game balls can be won at the winning opening, and the upper saucer is automatically filled with the paid game balls. It flows to the side. Then, the lower saucer is finally used as a saucer for receiving the game balls. The bottom wall of this tray is provided with a ball-drilling hole that can be opened and closed, and the game balls in the tray are discharged downward through the opening operation of the ball-drilling hole.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, below the front side of the pachinko gaming machine a, a counter-shaped receiving table b is horizontally provided in series between the respective gaming machines. The transfer storage box c placed on the top performs the transfer by receiving the game ball discharged from the tray d directly below.

On the other hand, in the case of the slot game machine, a shallow tray having a rectangular shape is horizontally arranged at the lower front portion of the machine body. The tray has a capacity enough to store coins paid out by one or two big hits, and when the tray is full of coins or when the game is stopped, the tray for moving is stored in front of the tray. While holding the box, coins that are thin and difficult to pick are picked up along the inner surface of the front wall of the tray and taken out, and transferred to the storage box.

[0006]

By the way, in the case of a pachinko gaming machine, the space of the cradle b which the player can occupy during the game is limited to the front part of the pachinko gaming machine a in which the player is playing. The width of the exclusive space is a storage box for moving c
It's just big enough to put two of them side by side.
However, the receiving tray d that finally receives the game balls, which is the lower receiving tray described above, is arranged at a substantially central position in the lower portion of the front surface of the machine body, and the game balls in the receiving tray d are balls provided on the bottom wall. Since it can only be discharged right below the hole, in order to transfer the game balls from the tray d to the storage box c, the storage box c must be placed directly below the tray d on the pedestal b. . Therefore, when the storage box c is filled with the game balls transferred from the tray d, the storage box c is moved laterally while being placed on the pedestal b,
To place a new storage box c, as shown in FIG.
A new storage box c cannot be placed directly below the tray d unless the full storage box c ′ is moved laterally enough to extend to the exclusive space side of the adjacent player. Such actions are not allowed as they annoy the next player. Therefore, when the storage box c is filled with game balls, the storage box c is filled with the hand each time, and is dropped from the top of the cradle b to the foot of the player or the like, and then a new empty storage is carried out. There is a problem that the cumbersome work of placing the box c directly under the tray d must be performed.

On the other hand, in the slot game machine, when the coins in the tray are transferred to the storage box, the coins have to be repeatedly scraped from the tray by hand, which is time-consuming and extremely troublesome. There was a problem. Also, if a big hit occurs continuously during the game, the saucer will be full in a short time, so there is the inconvenience of having to frequently perform the inefficient coin scraping work by the hand as described above. It was

It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine provided with a tray which can solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

The storage dish is composed of an arc-shaped main wall portion and a side wall portion that is connected to the lower end of the arc-shaped main wall portion, and the upper end side of the arc-shaped main wall portion is rotated downward. ,
Alternatively, the storage tray body may be configured to be converted to a discharge position, or the storage tray body may be configured by a side wall portion inclined to the side and a side wall portion connected to a lower end of the side wall. It may be proposed as a preferred embodiment that the upper end side of the is converted to the discharge position by rotating downward. In such a configuration, by rotating the upper end side of the arc-shaped main wall portion or the inclined main wall portion downward, it is possible to discharge the game medium below one side portion of the tray. And
When the storage box arranged on the discharge side becomes full, by moving the storage box to the opposite side, a new empty storage box can be arranged on the discharge side.

Further, in the tray having the above structure, at least a biasing means for biasing the storage tray body toward the steady position is provided, and the storage tray body rotated to the discharge position is moved to the steady position by the biasing means. A configuration may be proposed in which the automatic return is performed. With this configuration, it is not necessary to return the storage dish body rotated to the discharge position to the steady position each time, so that it does not take time and the storage dish body is always held at the steady position and is dispensed from the dispensing port. It is possible to smoothly accept the issued game medium.

Further, in the tray having the above structure, an engaging portion capable of engaging with the handle portion of the storage box may be provided on the lower surface of the upper end of the arcuate main wall portion or the inclined main wall portion. Such a configuration is particularly suitable for a slot game machine using coins as a game medium. Here, in the slot game machine, since there is no cradle for mounting the storage box on the lower front surface of the machine body, when the game medium is ejected, the storage tray body is held at the side lower part while holding the storage box by hand. I have to turn it toward
By providing the engaging portion capable of engaging the handle portion of the storage box as described above, the storage tray body is rotated by pushing down the storage box with the handle portion of the storage box engaged with the engaging portion. Since it can be moved, the turning operation can be easily performed.
