Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、一定の遊技条件に基づいて回転する回転体を備え、前記回転体が停止したとき、着座した遊技者から視認できる位置に有る装飾部材がさらに動作するようにして、遊技の興趣を一段と高めることができるようにした弾球遊技機に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
弾球遊技機の一つであるパチンコ遊技機には、例えば遊技盤の中央部に複数の数字、図柄等が液晶表示される表示部を備えた可変表示装置が配設され、その下方に始動入賞口が設けられると共に更にその下方に大型の入賞装置が設けられ、前記始動入賞口にパチンコ球が入賞することにより前記表示部の数字、図柄等を変動表示し、前記変動した表示が一定の時間経過後に停止して特定の表示(例えば「777」)を示し、遊技者にとって有利となる特別遊技状態になったとき、一定の条件の下で開閉扉を所定回数開成させ一度に多くの入賞球が得られるようにしたものがある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、この種の弾球遊技機では、特別遊技状態になるかならないかが可変表示装置における表示部の画面に表される数字、図柄等によって決まってしまい、遊技者はほとんどその画面しか見ないので、遊技を重ねると表示以外に期待できず、遊技が単調になって面白みに欠け、遊技者に飽きられる可能性が出てきており、顧客の吸引力に欠けるといった課題がある。
【0004】
そこで、本発明は上記課題を解決すべくなされたもので、表示部以外にも特別遊技状態になるかならないかのゲーム性に関わる部分を設け、遊技が単調になることを解消し遊技の興趣を一段と向上させることができるようにした弾球遊技機を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
かかる目的を達成するため、本発明に係る弾球遊技機は、外周の回転方向に沿って複数の装飾部材が並設され、かつ、前記いずれかの装飾部材が着座した遊技者から視認できるように配置される回転体と、一定の遊技条件に基づいて前記回転体を回転又は停止させる第一駆動制御手段と、を備えた弾球遊技機であって、前記各装飾部材は、第二駆動制御手段により動作し得るように構成され、一定の遊技条件に基づいて前記回転体が停止したとき、前記遊技者から視認できる位置に有る装飾部材が動作するようにした。
【0006】
このように、複数の装飾部材を並設して回転体を成形し、一定の遊技条件に基づき前記回転体が停止したとき、着座した遊技者から視認できる装飾部材が動作するようにしたので、表示部以外にも特別遊技状態になるかならないかのゲーム性に関わる部分が設けられ、しかも、停止した装飾部材が動作することによって遊技者に驚きを与える変化に富んだ動作が加えられることから、遊技の面白味が増すばかりか新しい興趣や期待感が得られる。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明に係る弾球遊技機の実施の形態を図面に基づき説明する。なお、弾球遊技機には、例えばパチンコ遊技機、アレンジボール機または雀球遊技機があるが、本発明にあっては、その一例としてパチンコ遊技機について説明する。図1は、本発明が適用されるパチンコ遊技機の正面図である。図において、1はパチンコ遊技機Pの機枠であって縦長方形枠状に形成されており、その前面に額縁状の前面枠2が、その右側上下部を前記機枠1の同側上下部に設けた軸支部3によって軸支され、回動自在に装着されている。この前面枠2には遊技盤4が装着される。
【0008】
また、前記前面枠2の前面に、遊技盤4前面の遊技部4aを覆う透明な二枚のガラス板5を備えたガラス扉枠6及び遊技盤4の下部を覆う前面板7が装着されている。前記前面板7の前面に、貯留された弾球であるパチンコ球を打球発射部(図示せず。)に供給するための打球供給皿8が装着される。また、前記前面枠2の下部前面には、前記打球供給皿8から溢れるパチンコ球を貯留する余剰球貯留皿9が装着されている。10は、前面枠2の下部前面であってその左側に設けられ、打ち出されるパチンコ球の打球力の強弱を調節する操作ハンドルである。
【0009】
前記遊技盤4の前面に内側ガイドレール11が取り付けられ、この内側ガイドレール11で囲まれる遊技部4aには、そのほぼ中央に表示部12aを備えた可変表示装置12が装着され、その下方にパチンコ球の入賞により前記表示部12aの文字、数字、図柄等の表示を変動表示させる始動入賞口13が配設される。更に、その下方に、前記変動した表示が一定の時間経過後に停止して特定の表示(例えば「777」)を示し、遊技者にとって有利な特別遊技状態になったとき、一定の条件の下で開閉扉14aを所定回数開成させ一度に多くの入賞球が得られる入賞装置14が配設されている。前記始動入賞口13は、パチンコ球が入賞し難い起立またはパチンコ球が入賞し易い傾動位置に自在に変換可能な一対の可動翼片13a,13aを有している。
【0010】
更に、前記可変表示装置12の両側やや下方位置に一般入賞口15が配設され、これら一般入賞口15の上方位置にはパチンコ球が通過することによりそれを検知し、前記始動入賞口13の一対の可動翼片13a,13aをパチンコ球が受入れ易いように傾動させるための通過チャッカー16が配設されている。17は、前記遊技部4aの適宜位置に回転自在に装着され、流下するパチンコ球の流れを変えて面白みを出させるための風車であり、18は障害釘である。更にまた、遊技部4aの下部には、遊技部4aを流下して前記始動入賞口13、一般入賞口15などに入賞しなかったパチンコ球をアウト球として遊技盤4の後方へ回収するアウト球口19が開設されている。
【0011】
図2は可変表示装置の斜視図、図3は同分解斜視図である。この可変表示装置12はその一側に本発明に係る回転体を収納する収納室20が一体に設けられている。すなわち、21は遊技盤4の前面に取付けられる横長長方形状の取付板であり、大窓開口22とその一側に位置し前記収納室20と対応する小窓開口23がそれぞれ開設されている。24は取付板21の四隅部に設けられる取付用孔である。そして、取付板21の裏側に、大窓開口22に対応位置して表示装置本体25が配置され、その表示部12aが大窓開口22に臨み、前側から表示部12aに表示される文字、数字、図柄等の遊技情報が視認できるようになっている。
【0012】
また、前記表示装置本体25の一側の収納室20には、前記小窓開口23の内側に該小窓開口23と連通するようにして覗き窓26が開設されている。また、収納室20の一側面は開口27し、その開口27には収納室20の隅角部に設けられた螺子孔28に螺子挿通孔29を介して螺子30を螺締することにより蓋板31が開閉自在に被着される。そして、前記収納室20内には回転体32が配置される。
【0013】
前記回転体32は、蓋板31側の一側面が開放する円筒体33の外周面に複数の区画板34が放射状かつ等間隔に設けられ、各区画板34間すなわち回転方向に沿って複数の区画部35が設けられている。また、前記円筒体33の表示装置本体25側に大径の従動歯車36が一体に設けられ、その中心に設けられる軸支部37が表示装置本体25の外側壁25aに突設される軸杆38に嵌合し、回転体32が鉛直面内で自在に回転し得るようになっている。収納室20の底面に第一駆動制御手段としてのステッピングモータ39が配置され、該ステッピングモータ39のモータ軸39aに設けられた駆動歯車40が、前記外側壁25aに取着される中間歯車41を介して前記従動歯車36に歯合している。
【0014】
前記回転体32における円筒体33の外周には各区画部35毎に各種動物、本実施の形態ではワニとピラニアの頭部を模した装飾部材42a,42bが交互に配置されている。前記ステッピングモータ39は図示を省略する制御装置によって制御され、回転体32が停止したとき、いずれかのワニまたはピラニアの装飾部材42a,42bが前記覗き窓26に臨み、着座した遊技者から視認できるようなっている。
【0015】
ワニである装飾部材42aは、その一部の上顎部43が別個に成形されると共に図5に示すように横軸44により軸止される。図5は簡略化して示されるが、前記横軸44はその両端が装飾部材42aに支持されている。そして、上顎部43の基端部下面に円弧状の歯部45が設けられている。この歯部45は、その下側に配置され前後に自在にスライドする可動部材46の上面に設けられた歯部47と歯合している。
【0016】
ピラニアである装飾部材42bは、その一部の両胸鰭部48が別個に成形されると共に図6に示すように縦軸49により軸止される。図6も簡略化して示されるが、前記縦軸はその両端が装飾部材42bに支持されている。そして、各胸鰭部48の基端部側面に円弧状の歯部50が設けられている。各歯部50は、両胸鰭部48間に配置されかつ前後に自在にスライドする可動部材51の両側に位置するようにして設けられた歯部52と歯合している。
【0017】
図示は省略するが、前記各可動部材46,51は、例えばコイルばねによって常に後方へ付勢されており、前記円筒体33の外周面で停止される。また、前記円筒体33には、図5に示すように各装飾部材42a,42bの可動部材46,51の後端面と対向位置して通孔33aが開設されている。これは後記するソレノイド54のプランジャ55を挿通して前記可動部材46,51を前方へ押動するためのものである。
【0018】
前記蓋板31の内側面には、上下一対の保持枠53が一体に設けられ、該保持枠53に第二駆動制御手段としてのソレノイド54が取着される。このソレノイド54は、収容室20一側面の開口27を蓋板31で閉塞したとき、前記円筒体33内に納まるようになっており、回転体32と共に回転するものではない。ソレノイド54のプランジャ55先端は、圧縮コイルバネの付勢により後方へ突出しており、その先端部に水平に支持されかつソレノイド54の周囲を囲うようにして平面方形状の枠部材56が配置され、この枠部材56におけるプランジャ55とは反対側に前方を向く突杆部57が設けられている。
【0019】
前記突杆部57は、ソレノイド54が消磁しておりかつ回転体32が停止したとき、覗き窓26に臨むワニまたはピラニアの装飾部材42a,42b内に設けられた可動部材46,51と通孔33aを介して対向位置している。前記ソレノイド54も制御装置によって制御され、常には消磁している。そして、前記回転体32が停止したとき、励磁し圧縮コイルバネの付勢に抗してプランジャ55を吸引し、枠部材56の突杆部57の先端で前記通孔33aを介して前記覗き窓26に臨むワニまたはピラニアの装飾部材42a,42b内に設けられた可動部材46,51を前側へ押動できるようになっている。
【0020】
本発明に係るパチンコ遊技機Pは上記構成からなり、次にその遊技方法について説明する。この種のパチンコ遊技機では、遊技盤4面に打ち込まれたパチンコ球が始動入賞口13に入賞することにより、可変表示装置12の表示部21aに表示される複数の数字、図柄等の表示が変動し、この変動した表示が一定時間経過後に停止する。そして、表示の各数字、図柄等があらかじめ定められた特定の表示(例えば「777」)を示さないときは、次に始動入賞口13にパチンコ球が入賞するのを待つ。前記表示部12aの表示が変動を開始してから停止するまで一定の時間が掛かり、その間に始動入賞口13にパチンコ球が入賞したときは、最高4個までプールされるようになっている。よって、入賞球がプールされている限り、その間、始動入賞口13にパチンコ球が入賞しなくても前記表示部21aに表示される複数の数字、図柄等の表示がプール個数分変動を繰り返す。
【0021】
一方、前記表示の各数字、図柄等があらかじめ定められた特定の表示(例えば「777」)を示したときは、遊技者にとって有利となる特別遊技状態(大当り状態)となり、一定の条件の下で入賞装置14の開閉扉14aを所定回数(例えば16回)開成させ、一度に多くの入賞球が得られるようにしている。また、遊技を面白くするため、一度大当り状態になった後に、再び大当り状態になる確率が高確率に変動(確率変動という。)する場合を決めている。なお、前記特定の表示を示し特別遊技状態になるときは、通常前段階としてリーチ状態になる。
【0022】
本発明にあっては、例えば、前記大当り状態になったとき回転体32が前側へ回転し、その大当り状態が終了する前に停止する。この際、確率変動が確定したときは、図4(イ)、図5(イ)に示すようにいずれかのワニの装飾部材42aを覗き窓26の位置で停止させ、しかも、図4(ロ)、図5(ロ)に示すようにソレノイド54を励磁させ突杆部57により可動部材46を前方へ押動する。これにより、前記ワニの装飾部材42aが、その上顎部43を上下に回動させて口を開く動作をする。同様に、ピラニアの装飾部材42bもいずれかが覗き窓26の位置で停止し、しかも、ソレノイド54が励磁して突杆部57により可動部材51を前方へ押動し、図6(イ)、図6(ロ)に示すように胸鰭部48を前後に回動させて呼吸をする動作をする。なお、実際には、この動作に伴い音響効果が加えられる。
【0023】
このように、本発明は、確率変動が確定して高確率に変わったときは、一定の遊技条件に基づいて前記回転体32を回転させると共に停止させ、更に、覗き窓26の位置にある装飾部材42a,42bを動作させることにより、そのことを遊技者に知らせる。一方、確率変動がなくその後も通常変動のときは、図6(イ)に示すようにいずれかのピラニアの装飾部材42bを覗き窓26の位置で停止させ、胸鰭部48を動作させないようにして、そのことを遊技者に知らせる。これら装飾部材42a,42bの回転・停止、それらの一部の動作はすべて覗き窓26から着座した遊技者が視認できる。なお、前記回転体32は、停止後に次の大当り状態を待つことになる。
【0024】
一定の遊技条件に対する回転体32及び装飾部材42a,42bの動作は、本実施の形態に説明したものに限られるものではない。例えば、各3匹のワニ、ピラニアの装飾部材42a,42bにそれぞれ金、銀、銅の色を付けておき、表示部12aの表示がリーチ状態になったとき、回転体32を前記表示部12aの表示が停止する前に停止させ、覗き窓26の位置に止まった装飾部材42の色によって大当たりになる期待度を表すようにしても良い。金色のときは大当りになる可能性が高く、銀色のときは大当たりになる可能性が普通であり、銅色のときは大当たりになる可能性が低いことを示す。この場合、当然に、前記回転体32が停止して覗き窓26に位置する装飾部材42a,42bは、その一部が動作するようにする。
【0025】
本実施の形態では、可変表示装置12に回転体32を収容した収容室20を一体に組み込むようにしたが、前記収容室20を別個に成形し、例えば、遊技盤4面またはガラス扉枠6の前面に単独で取り付けるようにしても良い。
【0026】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明に係る弾球遊技機は、複数の装飾部材が並設される回転体を一定の遊技条件に従い回転し、停止させたとき前記各装飾部材自身を動作させるように構成したので、一定の遊技条件に基づき前記回転体が停止したとき、動作する装飾部材を着座した遊技者が視認できることとなり、これにより、表示部以外にも特別遊技状態になるかならないかのゲーム性に関わる部分が設けられ、しかも、装飾部材には遊技者に驚きを与える変化に富んだ動作が加えられることから、遊技の単調さが解消されて面白味が増すと共に新しい興趣や期待感が得られ、遊技の興趣が一段と向上するという効果を有する。
