Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball game machine having an improved configuration of a game section on the front of a game board.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A ball game machine (hereinafter referred to as a game machine), which is popular as a pachinko machine, hits a pachinko ball to a game section formed on the front surface of a game board and puts the hit ball into a winning opening provided in the game section. As a result, a predetermined prize ball is paid out, and the game can be enjoyed by repeating the hitting and paying out. The current gaming machines are based on the above relationship and are complicated, so that the game is changed to enhance the gaming spirit. In particular, with regard to payout of prize balls, in addition to simply paying out prize balls for winning, if multiple payout methods are set for paying out prize balls on condition of winning, for example, when the highest condition to be set is achieved, As a "big hit", the winning conditions are greatly eased, and various conditions are added to the prize ball method such as releasing a large amount of prize balls to change the game.

For example, a gaming machine provided with a variable display device and a "big hit" by pattern matching is one example. This gaming machine is provided with a variable display device which normally has three rotating display bodies in the center of the game board, and when the ball hits the starting winning opening, the rotating display bodies are simultaneously rotated (scrolling).
Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time, it is stopped individually and when the symbols to be displayed on each are aligned in a predetermined symbol, this is a "big hit" and the big winning opening is opened to enable efficient winning. It is designed to release a large amount of prize balls in a short time.

There are various kinds of processing for a "big hit", but in general, a big winning opening provided with a door is installed, and when the big hit state is reached, this door is opened to make it easy to accept a hit ball. It is possible to accept a large number of prize balls in a short time and release a large number of prize balls by keeping the open state for a certain period of time, or by opening until a predetermined number of prize balls are available. is there.

In such a game specification (flow of game progression), a game machine provided with a variable display device is directly connected to the "big hit" state in the pattern matching, and therefore the symbol display itself is the maximum for the player. It will be of interest and attention. Therefore, at the time of designing, measures are taken such as making the screen of a variable display device generally composed of a liquid crystal display image as large as possible so that it is easy to see and increasing the movement of the image in order to enhance the change of the image.

With the increase in size of such a variable display device,
Conventionally, a so-called starting winning opening having a special meaning for starting this device is provided, and this starting winning opening is provided only for a hit ball that is installed below the variable display device and goes under the device. The number of chances to jump in is set to be high, and the difficulty of jumping in is increased while at the same time being able to enjoy the change in the hit ball flying laterally.

By the way, the rounding of the hit ball toward the starting winning opening is designed so that a predetermined number of hitting balls are designed to go around according to the regulations relating to the game machine, and for example, the winning opening for starting for 99 shots. Five or six prizes are won, and the variable display device is operated according to the number. That is, in order to guide the rounding of the above-mentioned hit ball, this kind of gaming machine has a certain probability of being hit balls, for example, as mentioned above, there are 5 or 6 wins for 99 hit balls. The way to guide the
In other words, the winning route to the winning opening is set.

The winning route is set mainly by the arrangement of obstacle nails which are planted on the game board surface. Needless to say, when the hit ball is normally hit through the launch guideway to the game part in front of the game board, it hits the row of obstacle nails to be planted at the top. After that, they fall through these nails, and while colliding with an obstacle nail, the falling direction can be changed, and some of them enter the winning opening and some of them enter the out opening (ineffective opening). Become. Of these, the hit ball, which is a winning ball, has a large chance of accidental effect, but it is guided so as to be entangled in the winning hole depending on the arrangement method of the obstacle nail, and then it collides with the life nail immediately before the entrance and changes into a winning ball It becomes a prize ball.

The winning route to the starting winning port is usually set more intentionally by the designer. Usually, the winning route of the starting winning opening is continuous diagonally from the top to the bottom in the lateral region of the variable display device below the hitting position of the hitting ball in which the obstacle nails arranged at the top are arranged. And a row of nails that guides the hitting ball guided by the nail row in a lateral direction toward a winning opening for start installed below the variable display device. It is generally done.

The above-mentioned guide nail row group has an important role in collecting hit balls from a region (driving region) where a plurality of obstacle nails at a driving position are implanted toward the row nail group. Normally, a plurality of obstacle nails are continuously arranged in an inclined position from the top to the bottom to form a row of nail rows, and a falling hitting ball is guided along the inclination, and the row nails are arranged. It is meant to be collected and sent to a group.

This group of guide nails is arranged diagonally and collects hit balls from above while concentrating them at the lower end thereof.
Actually, the nails are arranged linearly or arcuately so that the whole is inclined in a downward slope, and is generally oriented vertically. As described above, the guide nail row group has a function of collecting hit balls and concentrating the hit balls at one point, but since the guide nail row group is arranged in a limited narrow area on the side of the variable display device, it is provided in a limited position and in a limited form. It will be installed, making it difficult to design spatially freely.

By the way, the term "guide nail row group" or "horizontal nail group" as used herein refers to a plurality of obstacle nails which are arranged in a row and are arranged in a row. The batting ball (pachinko ball) does not come out from between,
A state in which nails are lined up along a common side of the nails, for example, when nails are lined up in a horizontal direction, along the upper side of the nails, at intervals that can guide a hit ball. The same applies to the following description.

Now, FIG. 1 shows an example of the board layout in a conventional game board for explaining the above situation. As shown in the figure, a large liquid crystal display screen 4a of the variable display device 4 is located in the upper part of the central part of the game part 3 surrounded by the inner and outer bands 1 and 2, and a start winning port 5 is located immediately below the large liquid crystal display screen 4a.
And the special winning opening 6 is installed below it. A guide nail row group 8 is formed in a limited lateral region of the variable display device 4 and is formed by a series of a large number of obstacle nails 7 that guide obliquely inward from the outside to receive a hitting ball in the middle of falling.

A first windmill 9 for guiding or distributing the hit ball into the nail row group 8 is placed above the guide nail row group 8 and is located below the nail at the bottom. A second windmill 12 is provided for guiding to the row nail group 10, or to the second row nail group 11, and further for guiding to the other.

The row nail group is formed by arranging a plurality of obstacle nails 7 side by side, and the hitting ball sent from the guide nail row group 8 through the windmill 12 is directed to the starting winning opening 5. It will guide you. The above-mentioned gaming specifications are realized by the board surface arrangement as described above.

In the above-mentioned place, the guide nail row group 8 for receiving the balls falling from the driving position of the hit ball (arrangement of a plurality of obstacle nails planted at the uppermost part) and guiding the balls inward, and the nails. The row nail group 10 that guides the hitting ball from the row group 8 to the starting winning opening 5 is called a "winning route" that is designed and arranged to achieve a winning rate that is set in advance toward the starting winning opening 5 correctly. It will be. The hit ball on the winning route may be separated from the route by being distributed to the windmill 12 on the way, or by the gap 13 exceeding the ball diameter provided between the rows, but most of them are sent to the starting winning port 5. It will be jumped in and will be involved in the prize.

The guide nail row group 8 constituting the winning route is arranged vertically on the side of the variable display device 4 as described above, since the large variable display device 4 occupies the width. Since it has to be installed in a small area, it is practically difficult to set a plurality of winning routes related to other winnings in this area.

By the way, the board surface structure shown in FIG. 1 is that of a gaming machine according to the type of so-called type 1 in the law relating to gaming machines. The game is advanced by (left hitting). In the first-type gaming machine, the variable display device 4 is started by winning the starting winning opening 5, and when a plurality of symbols to be displayed result in "big hit", the big winning opening 6 has a door 6a.
It is a game specification that opens up the game and makes it easy to win prizes and leads to the release of a large amount of prize balls. The flow of hit balls is mainly from the prize winning route 6 to the big winning opening 6 Will be driven toward the upper left half.

In this case, both the normal game before the "big hit" and the big hit game after the "big hit" can be left-handed, so that the game method is simple. However, on the other hand, the game specification of the big hit game is monotonous because it relates to the opening of only one special winning opening.

On the other hand, for the gaming machine having the above structure, since the "big hit" state is set in order to change the board surface and change the game, a big winning hole for realizing the big hit game is also installed on the right side of the board surface. Then, a gaming machine has been developed in which it is advantageous to change from left-handed to right-handed as the game progresses, and many gaming machines of the same type are now in practical use.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a gaming machine having a board structure in which the hitting position of the hit ball can be changed from the left half side to the right half side. Here, the winning opening for starting 5
4 winning openings 15, 17, 1 having two doors that rotate in the left-right direction in place of the large winning opening 6 installed below
7 and 18, the variable display device 4 is actuated due to the winning of the starting entrance 14 corresponding to the starting winning opening 5, and when the symbols are matched, the four winnings as a big hit game. The winning opening 15 that opens the interlocking opening of the mouths 15, 17, 17, 18 is opened.

When a ball hits the ball, the pair of left and right prize holes 17 and 17 are opened, and when a ball hits these, the hole 18 is continuously opened, and the prize hole 17 is again opened. It is said that it has become possible to accept a large number of winning balls by opening and repeating the above-mentioned interlocking opening. The start-up inlet 14 is a tunnel type equipped with a detection switch, and a normal winning opening 16 is provided directly below it.

Therefore, when the "big hit" occurs, the player opens the right winning opening 15 and at the same time changes the hitting method until then to right hitting. In addition, since the game is returned to the normal game when the "big hit" is finished, the right hit is changed to the left hit, and this hitting method is repeated each time the "big hit" and the end are done.

The change between left-handed play and right-handed play is achieved by arranging the winning devices in a distributed manner to the left and right with respect to the left-side priority placement on the game board surface in the first type model gaming machine, and effectively utilizing the entire board surface. , I tried to change the game method.
As a result, especially in the big hit game, the game specifications become complicated and heavy, and the game spirit can be further enhanced,
On the other hand, the game method becomes highly complicated and the player himself may lose the time to strike each other, so he must always be careful, at the same time as using the nerves and giving the player the wrong direction to strike. There is a risk of losing profits.

In such a situation, in the first type of game specification in which both the normal game and the big hit game before the "big hit" are left-handed, the plural winning openings in the gaming machine of FIG. 2 are interlockedly opened. If it is possible to combine the game specifications of the big hit game consisting of, it is possible to enhance the game spirit without complicating the game method. For that purpose, it is necessary to form a winning route reaching the winning port 15 that triggers the big hit game while securing the winning route leading to the starting flight entrance 14, but as described above, it is provided on the side of the variable display device 4. It is difficult to form a new winning route in terms of space, and if it is forcibly formed, the guidance of the hit ball of either winning route will be incomplete, or the profit given to the player in the jackpot game will be There is a risk of losing. Therefore, at the time of "big hit", it was necessary to make sure that the winning route was manually switched.

[0026]

When a hit ball is won in the entrance 14, the variable display device 4 is activated. Then, when the symbols displayed on the individually rotating display are aligned with each other in a predetermined pattern when the whole is stopped, this is designated as "hit", and when the symbols are not aligned, "off" and again for starting. You will have to wait for winning in the entrance 14.

When the above-mentioned "hit" is reached, immediately the winning ball detection of the winning ball 23 as the hitting ball jumping device is enabled until a predetermined number of winning balls or for a predetermined time, and the predetermined number of winning balls 23. On the condition that the prize is won, the prize hole groups 17, 17 and 18 are opened interlockingly with each other so as to receive a large number of prize balls at one time.

The hitting of the hit ball into the winning hole 23 is such that the hitting ball guided by the guide nail row group 22 is the area where the obstacle nail is excluded, that is, the life nails 25 and 26 allow the pachinko ball to pass. It enters the winning route of 2 or falls along the outer surface of the variable display device 4 and passes through the obstacle nail 27 to the second position.
It becomes possible when you get on the winning route of.

The winning in the winning opening 23 may be "big hit state" on condition that one piece is a condition, but it is preferable to be "big hit state" when there are a plurality of winnings in the range of 3 to 5. In this case, the sense of accomplishment becomes clear, which is convenient for enhancing the game playability.

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, when a hit ball is fired toward the starting entrance 14 which is the first step in creating the "big hit state" which is the most advantageous condition for the player, this hit ball is used. A winning route, which is a route for guiding to the entrance 14, can be formed by the guide nail row group 22 formed in a narrow lateral region of the variable display device 4, and at the same time, in the guide nail row group 22. The exclusion zone is set up in
Since the winning route is secured by incorporating the winning hole 23 which is a ball hitting-in device in this area, the second winning route to the winning hole 23 can be formed by this lacking area, so that the game board surface It becomes possible to secure the freedom in setting, especially in setting the game content, in other words, in setting and arranging the winning opening which is indispensable for realizing a predetermined game specification.

Although not described here, the game board surface is a limited space as described above, and the game section 3 formed therein is narrower, but the variable display device 4 is provided.
The image display screen 4a is large in size in order to make it easy to see and to enhance the power of the image. For this reason, the area where the hitting ball hits the side of the variable display device 4 is narrowed, and the number of guide nail row groups 22 that form the winning route for guiding the hitting ball to the starting entrance is limited to one. Only one winning route, that is, the first winning route is formed.

Conventionally, in embodying the game setting, the arrangement of the winning holes and the like for realizing a predetermined game specification has been simplified, but in the present invention, the guide nail row group 22 is arranged in the guide nail row group 22. By combining the hitting ball jumping device into a single unit, the second winning route can be formed and the hitting device such as the winning opening 23 which is the target point of the winning route can be set at the same time. It becomes possible to set the game by combining, and it is possible to enjoy a variety of games.

When the jackpot is reached, the jackpot opening 24 is opened as a jackpot state, whereas in this embodiment, instead of accepting a hit ball and winning the prize, a simple hit is counted and the jackpot state is set according to the number. To do.

The entrance 37 is provided with the detection switch 36, and the passage 38 facing the switch is penetrated downward to form a passage type.
Although the outer shape is the same, the side wall portion 37a is formed into a slightly convex arc surface so that the hitting ball flowing down the guide nail row group 22 is guided to the second wind turbine 12 along the side wall portion. I am doing it. It should be noted that there is provided a space between the side wall portion 37a and the obstacle nail 28 so that a pachinko ball can pass therethrough, and the hitting ball 1 is hit.
It is the same as in the first and second embodiments that it can be dropped from directly above.

Fourth Embodiment FIG. 8 is a fourth embodiment of the ball game machine according to the present invention. In this embodiment, similarly to the third embodiment, the entry port 4 provided with a detection switch 39 as a hitting ball entry device.
This is an example of 0. This is exactly the same as the third embodiment in that the detection switch 39 is faced to the passage 41 that vertically penetrates the inside of the entrance 40, the passing ball is detected, and a big hit state is set according to the count number. In this case, the second wind turbine is provided with a protrusion 42 on the side wall portion 40a, which collides a hitting ball flowing down the guide nail row group 22 and passes between the protrusion 42 and the facing nail 28. It is designed to be guided to fall to 12. Therefore, the protrusion 42 is the second
It has the same structure as that of the collision unit 35 in the above embodiment and operates.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the respective embodiments, when the variable display device 4 is installed in the central portion of the conventional game section, the hit ball is placed in the area where the hit ball falls on the side of the variable display device 4. There is a limit to the installation of the group of guide nail rows 22 that is guided directly toward the winning opening for start 5 or the entrance 14 that is installed directly below. Therefore, in connection with this, since only one winning route can be practically set, the configuration of the game board can only set the board surface of the first type, for example, and there is a problem that the setting of the game specification becomes monotonous as described above. ..

However, in the present invention, a cutout area is provided in the guide nail row group 22, a hitting ball jumping device is incorporated therein, and new winning holes 23, 34 and jumping holes 37, 40 are installed at the same time. Since it is possible to set a second winning route leading to these, at the same time as the hitting of the starting winning opening 5 or the hitting opening 14, the hitting of the hitting and hitting device is performed. In addition to being able to set the board surface for realizing the first game specification on the condition that the player wins at the winning opening for start 5 or the entrance 14 with this, The second condition is that the hit ball enters the hit ball entry device through the winning route of
It is also possible to set the board surface to realize the game specification, and thereby expand the setting range of the game.

In the first to fourth embodiments, the symbols are matched in the normal game before the "big hit" occurs as the first game specification, so that both the normal game and the big hit game can be left-handed so-called type 1 type. The game specification is applied, and the game specification of the big hit game consisting of the interlocking opening of a plurality of winning openings is applied as the second game specification, but of course, a combination of different game specifications may be used.

For example, the first type game specification itself including the big hit game is applied as the first game specification, and the entrance 3 is inserted in the middle of the winning route to the starting winning port.
7 or 40 is installed, and a second symbol matching is performed using these as the starting entry port, and opening and closing having the same symbol starting function as the above-mentioned starting winning port on condition that the specific symbols are aligned. By expanding and opening the second starting winning opening provided with wing pieces, the number of starting times per unit time of the first symbol can be increased based on the establishment of a specific game condition. May be applied as a game specification.

As described above, according to the present invention, in the case of setting the board surface for realizing the game specification which develops into the big hit state on condition that the conventional starting board entrance is won,
Only one winning route can be set, and the board becomes monotonous, while multiple winning routes can be set without breaking the one winning route, realizing two or more types of game specifications. It is possible to set the board surface for this, and this makes it possible to provide a ball game machine that is extremely varied.
