Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball game machine, and more particularly to a ball game machine in which the structure of the game section on the front of the game board has been improved.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A ball game machine (hereinafter referred to as a game machine) popular as a pachinko machine launches a pachinko ball to a game section formed on the front surface of a game board, and the ball is used as a winning opening provided in the game section. By inserting the ball, a predetermined prize ball can be paid out, and the player can enjoy the game by repeating the hitting ball hitting operation and receiving the prize ball.

Present game machines are designed to be complicated based on the above-mentioned relationship, and to change the game so as to enhance the game spirit. In particular, with regard to payout of prize balls, in addition to simply paying out a certain prize ball for winning, a plurality of payout methods for paying out prize balls are set on condition that one prize hole is won. When the highest condition set in is achieved, the winning conditions are greatly eased as a "big hit", and a large amount of prize balls are released, etc. I am trying to attach it.

An example is a gaming machine that is equipped with a variable display device, which is called a so-called center accessory, and gives a "big hit" by pattern matching. This game machine has a variable display device (usually a display device consisting of a liquid crystal screen) that normally has three rotating display bodies installed in the center of the game board, and the hit ball will fly to the winning opening for start (jump entrance). When the prize is won, the rotary display bodies are simultaneously rotated (scrolled), and when the predetermined time has elapsed, they are individually stopped and the symbols to be displayed on each are arranged in a predetermined pattern, when this is a "big hit" It is designed so that a large amount of prize balls can be released in a short time by opening the large winning opening and enabling efficient winning.

There are various kinds of processing for "big hit", but in general, a big winning opening equipped with a door is installed, and when the big hit state is opened, this door is opened to easily accept a hit ball and to be fixed. 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), the game machine provided with the 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 has become a matter of interest and attention. For this reason, at the time of designing, measures are taken such as enlarging the screen of a variable display device, which is generally composed of a liquid crystal display image, to make it 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 start-up entrance (winning hole) having a special meaning for starting this device is provided, and this starting is performed only for a hit ball that is installed below the variable display device and goes under the device. It is set so that there is a chance of jumping into the winning hole, so that the difficulty of jumping can be increased while at the same time being able to enjoy the variation of the hit ball flying laterally.

However, at present, with respect to the game machine, regarding the rounding of the hit ball toward the winning opening for starting, the hit ball of the roundabout is set according to the probability of the big hit, the setting of the prize ball etc. at the time of the big hit, and the regulations of the game machine. The number is restricted to a few spheres within a predetermined range. For example, 5 or 6 prizes are won in the starting winning opening for 99 shots, and the variable display device is operated according to the number. That is, in order to guide the rounding of the hitting ball, this kind of gaming machine has a certain probability among the hitting balls to be launched, for example, 9 as described above.
It is designed to guide the hit ball to the starting winning opening so that there are five or six winnings for nine, and the winning path, in other words, the winning route to the winning opening is set.

The winning route is mainly performed by disposing the obstacle nails which are planted on the game board surface. Needless to say, when a hit ball is normally hit from the launching device through the launching guideway to the game part on the front of the game board, it will collide with the row of obstacle nails to be planted at the top, and then between the nails. While falling through the hole and repeatedly colliding with the obstacle nail and changing the direction of fall, some will enter the winning opening and some will enter the out opening (ineffective opening). Of these, the hit ball, which is a winning ball, has a large chance of happening,
Depending on how the nails are arranged, the nails are guided so as to be entangled with the prize hole, and then collide with the life nail immediately before the prize hole, and further change there to become a prize ball or a non-prize ball.

The winning route to the starting winning opening is usually set more intentionally by the designer. Usually, the winning route of the winning opening for starting is the driving position of the hitting ball in which the obstacle nails arranged at the top are arranged, and subsequently to the lateral region of the variable display device diagonally from top to bottom. A group of vertical guide nail rows that are continuously planted and arranged, and a row of balls that are guided by the nail row groups that are guided laterally toward a start winning port installed below the variable display device. It is composed of a group of lateral guide nails.

Among the groups of vertical and horizontal guide nails, the group of vertical guide nails is from the region (driving region) in which a plurality of obstacle nails, which are the driving positions, are implanted, toward the group of horizontal guide nails. It has an important role in collecting hit balls, and normally, a plurality of obstacle nails are continuously arranged in an inclined position from top to bottom to form a row of nail rows and fall. The hit balls are guided along this inclination and collected and delivered to the lateral guide nail row group.

This group of vertical guide nails is arranged diagonally and collects hit balls from above while concentrating them at the lower end. In practice, the nails are arranged linearly or arcuately. As a result, it is arranged vertically with a downward slope. As described above, the vertical guide nail row group has a function of collecting hit balls and concentrating the hit balls at one point, but one array is a limit because it is arranged in a limited narrow area on the side of the variable display device, and is limited. Since it is installed in a fixed shape, it is difficult to freely design the guide nail row group due to space restrictions.

The guide nail row group referred to here refers to a state in which a plurality of obstacle nails are arranged and arranged in a row at a narrow interval. Specifically, a hitting ball ( It is possible to guide the hitting ball along one common side of the nails that are lined up, for example, along the upper side of the nails when the nails are planted in a horizontal direction without the pachinko ball) coming out. The term "planting at intervals" is used. The same applies in the following description.

Now, FIG. 1 shows an example of a board layout in a conventional game board for explaining the above situation. The details will be described below in accordance with this. As shown in the figure, a large liquid crystal display screen 4a of a variable display device 4, which is a center accessory, is provided in the game part 3 on the front of the game board, which is surrounded by inner and outer bands 1 and 2, and directly below it. A winning opening for starting 5 and a large winning opening 6 are installed below it. A vertical guide nail row in which a large number of obstacle nails 7 which are guided obliquely from the outside to the inside while receiving a hitting ball in the middle of a drop are continuously planted in a limited area on the side of the variable display device 4. Group 8 is formed.

A first windmill 9 for guiding or distributing the hit ball into the nail row group 8 is placed above the vertical guide nail row group 8, and the lowermost nail approaches the lower windmill 9 below. A second windmill 12 is installed to guide the group of laterally guided nail rows 10 or to a second group of laterally guided nail rows 11 below the group of laterally guided nails 10, and to guide the group of other laterally guided nails.

The lateral guide nail row group is formed by arranging a plurality of obstacle nails 7 side by side, and is used to start a hitting ball sent from the vertical guide nail row group 8 via a windmill 12. The player is guided toward the winning opening (fly entrance) 5. The above-mentioned gaming specifications are realized by the board surface arrangement as described above.

In the above-mentioned place, the vertical 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 portion) and guiding the balls inward, The lateral guide row nail group 10 that guides a hit ball from the nail row group 8 to the starting winning hole 5 is designed and arranged to achieve a winning rate that is set in advance toward the starting winning hole 5 correctly. It constitutes the "route". 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 to the side of the variable display device 4 as described above, but the large variable display device 4 occupies the width as described above. Since it has to be installed in a narrow area, it has been 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 regulations relating to gaming machines, and a hit ball is hit in the upper left half of the structural board surface ( Left-handed) is to progress the game. This first type game machine starts the variable display device 4 by winning the winning opening for start 5, and displays a plurality of symbols.
When it becomes a "big hit" by matching (3 sets of symbols), the door 6a of the special winning opening 6 is opened to make it easy to win the prize and it is a game specification that leads to the release of a large amount of prize balls. Since the flow of the hit ball mainly goes through the winning route to the special winning opening 6, the hit ball is always hit toward the upper left half, that is, the left hit is continued.

In this case, the left-handed hit is possible both in the normal game before the "big hit" and in the big hit game after the "big hit", 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 of the above structure, after changing to the "big hit" state in order to change the board surface and the game, a big winning hole for realizing the big hit game is also installed on the right side of the board surface. As a result, game machines are being implemented in which it is advantageous to change from left-handed to right-handed as the game progresses, and there are many game machines of the same type at present.

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 prize holes 15, 17, 1 having two wing pieces that rotate in the left-right direction in place of the big prize hole 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, 17 are opened, and when the 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, here, 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. On the other hand, "big hit"
By returning to the normal game at the end of, the player will change from right-handed to left-handed, and this way of hitting will be repeated each time "big hit" and its end.

This change between left-handed and right-handed is performed by arranging the winning devices in a distributed manner on the left and right with respect to the central column-oriented arrangement in which the ball is struck by using the left side on the game board surface in the first type game machine. However, the entire board surface is effectively used to change the playing method. As a result, the game specifications, especially in the big hit game, become complicated and profound, and the player's mind can be further enhanced, but on the other hand, the game method may be highly complicated and the player may lose the time to separate. , You must always be careful, use your nerves, and risk losing the profits given to the player if you make a mistake in the driving direction.

In such a situation, the first type of game specification in which both the normal game and the big hit game before the "big hit" occurrence can be left-handed, the plurality of 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 to the winning port 15 that triggers the big hit game while securing the winning route to the starting flight entrance 14.

However, it is difficult in space to form a new winning route on the side of the variable display device 4 as described above, and if it is forcibly formed, the guiding of the hit ball of either winning route is incomplete. There is a risk of losing or losing the profits given to the player in the big hit game.

Therefore, as one method of solving this, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 2, both winning routes are separately set, and the winning route is surely switched by manual operation at the time of "big hit". It was

[0029]

The vertical guide nail row group 22 provided as described above receives the winning route formed here.

The ball hitting the winning route is guided by the slope thereof, falls along the side wall portion 23a of the winning port 23, and passes through the obstacle nail (adjusting nail) 28 to be the second windmill 12. The ball hitting the right rotation reaches the starting entry port 14 by the first lateral guide nail row group 29. The probability of winning on the winning route reaching the start-up entrance 14 is set to 5 to 6 for about 100 shot balls. The final adjustment of the number of winnings will be performed by the life nails 32, 32, etc. of the entrance 14.

When a hit ball is won at 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 "winning" occurs, the rotary wing 23a of the winning device 23 is immediately opened.
Then, here, the right rotating wing piece is projected to the right side of the vertical guiding nail row group 22 through the missing area 26, and the winning route is crossed through the winning route formed here and the winning is made through the rotating wing piece. A second winning route to the device 23 is formed. Then, the hit ball guided through the vertical guiding nail row group 22 is guided into the winning device 23.

In this embodiment, when a predetermined time is set and the winning device 23 has five winning balls within the time,
As a "big hit", the winning prize groups 17, 17 and 18 are opened in association with each other to receive a large number of winning balls at a time.

The number of prizes to be set in the winning device 23 for starting the "big hit state" is not limited to five, but may be set to "big hit state", for example. However, from the viewpoint of satisfying the player's sense of accomplishment, it is better to set the "big hit state" when there are multiple winnings,
A winning number of 3 to 5 is valid in this sense.

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, when the hit ball is launched 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 a group of vertical guide nail rows 22 formed in a narrow lateral region of the variable display device 4, and in addition to this, It is possible to form a new second winning route in the guide nail row group 22.

In addition, the winning device 23 forming the second winning route switches between two winning routes by opening and closing the rotary wing piece 23a, and new winning conditions can be set by winning the winning device 23. Since it has become possible, it has become possible to set game specifications with even more changes.

That is, according to the present invention, the second winning route to the winning device 23 is formed while the winning device 23 with the rotating wing pieces is incorporated in the vertical guiding nail row group 22 and the winning route is secured. It was possible to establish two types of winning routes at the same time without making a significant change to the setting of the game board surface, which is indispensable for setting the game content, in other words, to achieve the specified game specifications. We were able to secure the freedom in setting the placement of the essential winning holes.

Third Embodiment FIGS. 8 and 9 show a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the winning device 35, which is incorporated in the vertical guide nail row group 22, is provided along with the turning blade 35b so that the hit ball can be smoothly guided to the wind turbine 12 along the inclination of the guide nail row group 22 and the side wall portion 35a. Is a convex arc surface and the protrusion 36 is provided at the lower end.

As in the above-mentioned two embodiments, the prize winning device 35 closes the missing area 26 of the vertical guide nail row group 22 by the entire structure including the side wall portion 35a and the rotating wing piece 35b, so that one of the prize winning routes is achieved. Since the rotary wing piece 35b in the closed state because it constitutes a part, the outer surface thereof is formed into a loose convex arc surface shape along the row of the vertical guide nail row group 22.

The present invention has been described with reference to the respective embodiments, but in the case where the variable display device 4 is installed in the central portion of the conventional game section (of course, in addition to the variable display device, a so-called center function such as a large winning device) is provided. In some cases, an object may be installed instead of this.), And a vertical direction that guides the hit ball toward the starting winning opening 14 installed immediately below the variable display device 4 in the area where the hit ball falls on the side thereof. The installation of the guide nail row group 22 is limited to one, and as a result, only one winning route can be set substantially, so that the configuration of the game board can be set to only the first type board surface, for example, and the game specification. The setting was monotonous as described above.

However, in the present invention, a missing area 26 is provided in the vertical guiding nail row group 22 and the hitting ball winning devices 23, 33, 35 and the like are incorporated therein to open and close the rotary wing pieces of the device. Since the second winning route is combined with the winning route formed by the vertical guiding nail row group 22 by utilizing it, at the same time as the driving of the hitting ball toward the starting winning port 14, the hitting winning device 23 , 33, 35 can be hit, and along with this, the starting winning opening 14
In addition to being able to set the board surface for realizing the first game specification on condition that a prize is won, the second condition is that a hit ball jumps into the prize winning device through the second prize route. It is possible to set the board surface to realize the game specification, and the range of the game specification setting is expanded accordingly.

In the first to third embodiments, as the first game specification, the symbols are matched in the normal game before the "big hit" occurs, 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 17 and 18 is applied as the second game specification, but it may be a combination of different game specifications. Of course.

For example, as one example thereof, the first type game specification itself including the big hit game is applied as the first game specification, while the prize winning device 23, in the middle of the prize route to the winning opening 14 for start, 33, 35 are installed, and these are used as the second winning opening for starting, and the second pattern matching is carried out. Applying the symbol start count increase game that can increase the number of start times per unit time of the first symbol based on the establishment of a specific game condition by expanding and opening the winning opening for start of 2 as the second game specification May be.

[0069]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the board surface is set to realize a game specification that develops into a big hit condition on the condition that the conventional starting board entrance (winning hole) is won, the prize is won. Since only one route can be set and the board becomes monotonous, a plurality of winning routes can be set without breaking the one winning route. It is possible to set a board surface that realizes more than one type of game specification, and in this case, since only one hitting position is required, it is possible to make unified settings for left hitting and right hitting. Therefore, according to the present invention, there is an advantage that a player's driving operation can be facilitated while the game specification is complicatedly set, and a disadvantage caused by an operation error can be eliminated.
