TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine, an arrange ball machine, a sparrow ball game machine, and more particularly, to a ball game machine provided with a special starting port device called a so-called third type starting port. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
Among the ball game machines, there is a third-type pachinko machine called a so-called right. In this type of ball game machine, as shown in FIG. 5 showing an embodiment of the present invention, a game ball passes through a special device operating area (not shown) called a V zone provided inside a special device 36. Then, a profit state advantageous to the player is generated, and in the profit state, the large winning opening device 40 is operated for a predetermined period every time a game ball wins in the special starting device 1, and the player repeats the predetermined number of times. To return great profits. (For example, see Patent Document 1 below).
[0003]
A conventional ball game machine introduces, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, a game ball that has stayed in the stop portion 52 as the derivative 51 rotates in the direction of the arrow E into the notch 53 of the derivative 51, A special starting port device 56 for guiding the game ball to the special starting port 55 while holding the game ball at the inner peripheral portion of the winning case 54 and the notch 53 was provided (for example, see Patent Document 1 and FIG. 3).
[0004]
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 11, an exit 57 of the game ball is formed at the lower end of the winning case 54, and the game ball is introduced into the derivative 51 from the stopping portion 52 as the derivative 51 rotates in the direction of the arrow F. A stop guide device 58 which discharges from the exit 57 and a winning opening device 60 as a special starting port through which the game balls pass between the game nails 59 arranged in two rows from the exit 57 of the stop guide device 58. (See Patent Document 1 and FIG. 7, for example).
[0005]
Generally, a manufacturer of a ball game machine performs various inspections before shipping the ball game machine to check whether or not each game component operates normally. One of such inspections is a winning opening device (for example, the special starting device 1, the special device 36, the first ordinary winning opening device 37, the second ordinary winning opening device 38, and the special winning opening device 40 in FIG. 5). Various game parts (for example, the audio output device 31 in FIG. 4, the liquid crystal display device 34 and the illumination device 41 in FIG. 5, the payout device 42 in FIG. 6, and the like) are provided. There is an operation of confirming whether or not to perform the operation.
[0006]
For example, in the special starting port device 56 of FIG. 10, in order to insert a game ball into the special starting port 55, the timing at which the notch 53 of the continuously rotating derivative 51 reaches a position corresponding to the special starting port 55 is determined. At an appropriate time, a game ball is directly thrown into the special start port 55 from the front side of the special start port device 56 via the notch 53, or the game ball is placed in the stop portion 52 in advance, and the game ball is rotated by rotating the derivative 51. A game ball is inserted into the special starting port 55 at an arbitrary rotation angle of the derivative 51, or a game ball is inserted into the cutout portion 53 from the front side thereof at an arbitrary rotation angle of the derivative 51.
[0007]
On the other hand, the special starting port device 61 of FIG. 11 has a configuration in which game balls can be inserted into the special starting port 60 at any time, regardless of the rotation angle of the derivative 51.

[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
[0010]
As described above, the special start-up port 55 of FIG. 10 does not wait for the derivative 51 to rotate by a predetermined angle when confirming the operation of the gaming component based on the winning in the special start-up port 55. Since the game balls could not be inserted into the game, the efficiency of the checking operation was low.
[0011]
On the other hand, the special starting port device 61 of FIG. 11 is configured separately from a winning port device 60 as a special starting port and a stop guide device 58 for guiding the game balls to the winning port device 60 at a predetermined cycle. Therefore, game balls can be directly inserted into the winning opening device 60 from the front side of the special starting opening device 61, and the above-described problem does not occur. However, since the number of components is increased by the amount divided into the stop guide device 58 and the winning opening device 60, it takes time and effort to mount it on the game board, and it is necessary to manufacture the component parts 58 and 60 separately. There is a problem that the special starting port device 61 becomes vertically long by the amount of the gaming nail 59 and the winning port device 60, and the game area is restricted.
[0012]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and has as its object to integrally form the device so as to reduce the manufacturing cost and the time and effort required to mount the device on a game board, and to check the operation based on a prize in a special starting port.

In a ball-and-ball game machine in which a winning state is easily generated for a predetermined period of time, the special start-up device is turned around a winning case having an entrance through which a game ball passes on an outer peripheral portion, and inside the winning case, adjacent to the entrance. A special starting port, in which a game ball enters a radially outer region of the derivative, which is an inner area of the winning case, is exposed and opened, and a game ball received by the derivative is formed of the derivative. It is characterized by being guided to the special starting port by turning.
[0014]
According to the above configuration of the present invention, since the special start-up device is configured as one game component, there is no need for manufacturing cost and labor for attaching to a game board. Since the special start port is exposed on the front side, game balls can be inserted into the special start port from the front of the game board regardless of the operation of the derivative, and the special start port can be set before shipment of the ball game machine. It becomes easy to confirm the operation based on the winning.
[0015]
As a specific configuration of the special starting port device, the entrance is formed at the upper part of the winning case, and the special starting port is formed at the lower part of the inner area of the winning case or the inner area of the winning case, The guide ball is formed on the side, and the game ball entered from the entrance is received by the derivative, and guided by the rotation of the derivative to a position immediately above the special starting port or a lateral position. In this way, when the special start-up opening is formed in the lower or middle portion of the inside area of the winning case and in the radially outer side of the derivative, the special start-up opening can be exposed on the front side of the special start-up device. it can.
[0016]
Further, when the special starting port is open upward facing the outer peripheral portion of the derivative, it is possible to provide a space between the special starting port and the derivative that is substantially equal to the diameter of a game ball. In such a case, it is sufficient that the distance between the special starting port and the derivative is longer than the diameter of the game ball. However, from the viewpoint of reducing the size of the special starting port device, the distance may be substantially equal to the diameter of the game ball. Most preferred.
