前記通常経路LTに関し、本実施例では、前記遊技領域6の中心線より左側、すなわち前記高確率入賞経路LKの左側において、前記表示装置9の下側に前記高確率入賞経路LKへ向けて傾斜した一列状に通常経路用誘導釘JTを遊技盤3表面に複数立設し、前記一列状の複数の誘導釘JT上及びその延長上を、遊技球の流下(誘導)可能な第一通常経路LTaとし、また前記遊技領域6の中心線より右側、すなわち前記高確率入賞経路LKの右側では、前記表示装置9の下側に前記高確率入賞経路LKへ向けて傾斜した一列状に通常経路用誘導釘JTを遊技盤3の表面に複数立設し、前記一列状の複数の誘導釘JT上及びその延長上を、遊技球の流下(誘導)可能な第二通常経路LTbに設定している。前記一列に配設された複数の誘導釘JTの下流方向先端位置の誘導釘JTaは、第一通常経路LTa及び第二通常経路LTbそれぞれにおいて、前記高確率入賞経路LKの手前にあり、前記第一通常経路LTaあるいは第二通常経路LTbを流下してきた遊技球PTは、前記各通常経路LTa,LTbの先端の誘導釘JTaに接触して落下し、場合によっては前記始動入賞口10への入賞が可能となる。なお、前記第一通常経路LTa及び第二通常経路LTbは、それぞれ一列状の複数の誘導釘JT及びその延長上として設定されているが、それに限るものではなく、例えば、前記ステージ44のうち、前記遊技球誘導部45以外の部分(前記転動部44b)から流下する遊技球の流下経路であってもよい。   With respect to the normal route LT, in this embodiment, on the left side of the center line of the game area 6, that is, on the left side of the high probability winning route LK, the lower side of the display device 9 is inclined toward the high probability winning route LK. A plurality of normal path guide nails JT are erected on the surface of the game board 3 in a single row, and a first normal path through which a game ball can flow (guide) on the plurality of guide nails JT in a row and its extension. LTa, and on the right side of the center line of the gaming area 6, that is, on the right side of the high probability winning path LK, is arranged in a line inclined toward the high probability winning path LK below the display device 9 for the normal path. A plurality of guide nails JT are erected on the surface of the game board 3, and the second normal path LTb on which the game balls can flow (guide) is set on the plurality of guide nails JT in a row and on the extension thereof. . The guide nails JTa at the downstream end positions of the plurality of guide nails JT arranged in a row are in front of the high probability winning path LK in the first normal path LTa and the second normal path LTb, respectively. The game ball PT that has flowed down the one normal path LTa or the second normal path LTb falls in contact with the guide nail JTa at the tip of each of the normal paths LTa and LTb, and in some cases, wins the start winning opening 10 Is possible. The first normal path LTa and the second normal path LTb are set as a plurality of guide nails JT in a row and their extensions, but are not limited thereto. For example, in the stage 44, It may be a flow path of game balls flowing down from a portion other than the game ball guiding portion 45 (the rolling portion 44b).

前記侵入防止部材41は、前記通常経路LTを流下してきた遊技球PTが、前記高確率入賞経路LKに侵入して、前記高確率入賞経路LKを流下中の遊技球PKと衝突するのを防止し、前記高確率入賞経路LKを流下中の遊技球PKが前記衝突により前記高確率入賞経路LKから外れるのを防ぐためのものである。前記侵入防止部材41は、前記高確率入賞経路LKと前記通常経路LTとの交差位置Zよりも前記通常経路LTの上流側(前記交差位置Zに対して前記通常経路LTからの遊技球進入側)における前記通常経路LTの途中位置に配設され、前記通常経路LTを流下してくる遊技球PTが前記高確率入賞経路LKへ侵入する前に、前記侵入防止部材41と接触可能とされる。そして、その接触によって前記高確率入賞経路LKへの侵入が防止可能となっている。この第一実施例では、前記高確率入賞経路LKと前記第一通常経路LTaの交差位置Zよりも前記第一通常経路LTaの上流側(前記高確率入賞経路LKに対して前記第一通常経路LTaからの遊技球進入側であり、前記高確率入賞経路LKの左側)における前記第一通常経路LTaの途中位置に、前記侵入防止部材41が設けられている。   The intrusion prevention member 41 prevents the gaming ball PT that has flowed down the normal path LT from entering the high probability winning path LK and colliding with the gaming ball PK flowing down the high probability winning path LK. The game ball PK flowing down the high probability winning path LK is prevented from falling off the high probability winning path LK due to the collision. The intrusion prevention member 41 is located on the upstream side of the normal path LT with respect to the intersection position Z between the high probability winning path LK and the normal path LT (the game ball entering side from the normal path LT with respect to the intersection position Z). ), And the game ball PT flowing down the normal path LT can be brought into contact with the intrusion prevention member 41 before entering the high probability winning path LK. . And the intrusion to the said high probability winning path LK can be prevented by the contact. In this first embodiment, the upstream side of the first normal route LTa from the intersection position Z of the high probability winning route LK and the first normal route LTa (the first normal route with respect to the high probability winning route LK). The intrusion prevention member 41 is provided at the midway position of the first normal path LTa on the game ball approach side from LTa and on the left side of the high probability winning path LK.

また前記侵入防止部材41は、ブロック状あるいは板状体等からなり、さらに、前記侵入防止部材41が一方の通常経路(前記第一通常経路LTa)の途中にのみ設けられている。この第一実施例では、他方の通常経路(前記第二通常経路LTb)を流下してきた遊技球が、前記高確率入賞経路LKとの交差位置Zを超えてさらに流下し、前記侵入防止部材41と接触して軌道が変更され、それによって前記始動入賞口10へ過度に多く入賞するのを防止可能とするため、前記他方の通常経路(前記第二通常経路LTb)を流下する遊技球と接触しないように、前記侵入防止部材41の配設位置や傾斜角度が設定されている。以上の構成にすることで、他方の通常経路(前記第二通常経路LTb)を流下している遊技球が過度に多く前記始動入賞口10に入賞し、遊技店側が極めて不利な状態になる虞を低減することが可能である。   The intrusion prevention member 41 is formed of a block shape or a plate-like body, and the intrusion prevention member 41 is provided only in the middle of one normal path (the first normal path LTa). In this first embodiment, the game balls that have flowed down the other normal route (the second normal route LTb) further flow down beyond the intersection position Z with the high probability winning route LK, and the intrusion prevention member 41 In contact with the game ball that flows down the other normal route (the second normal route LTb) in order to prevent an excessively large number of winnings to the start winning opening 10 due to the change of the track. In order to prevent this, the arrangement position and inclination angle of the intrusion prevention member 41 are set. By adopting the above configuration, there is a risk that an excessively large number of game balls flowing down the other normal route (the second normal route LTb) will win the start winning opening 10 and the game store side will be in a very disadvantageous state. Can be reduced.

さらに、前記侵入防止部材41は、図4から理解されるように、前記遊技盤3の裏側に配設された前進後退可能な作動部47aを有するソレノイド47(請求項1及び2における駆動手段)によって、前記遊技盤3の表面から突出した第一状態(図4の波線で示す41b)と、前記遊技盤3の表面から後退した第二状態(図4の実線で示す41c)間を前進後退可能とされている。前記第一状態においては、前記侵入防止部材41が前記遊技盤3の表面から突出した状態となるため、前記通常経路LT(第一実施例では第一通常経路LTa)を流下する遊技球PTは、前記高確率入賞経路LKへ侵入する前に前記侵入防止部材41に接触して軌道が変更され、前記高確率入賞経路LKへの侵入が防止可能となり、それに対して前記第二状態においては、前記侵入防止部材41が前記遊技盤3の表面から後退した状態となるため、前記通常経路LT(第一実施例では第一通常経路LTa)を流下する遊技球PTは、前記侵入防止部材41と接触できなくなり、前記遊技球PTの前記高確率入賞経路LKへの侵入防止不可能となる。   Further, as can be understood from FIG. 4, the intrusion prevention member 41 is a solenoid 47 having an operating portion 47a disposed on the back side of the game board 3 and capable of moving forward and backward (drive means in claims 1 and 2). Thus, the first state protruding from the surface of the game board 3 (41b indicated by a wavy line in FIG. 4) and the second state retracted from the surface of the game board 3 (41c indicated by a solid line in FIG. 4) are moved forward and backward. It is possible. In the first state, since the intrusion prevention member 41 protrudes from the surface of the game board 3, the game ball PT flowing down the normal path LT (first normal path LTa in the first embodiment) Before entering the high probability winning path LK, the trajectory is changed by contacting the intrusion prevention member 41, and the intrusion to the high probability winning path LK can be prevented, whereas in the second state, Since the intrusion prevention member 41 is in a state of being retracted from the surface of the game board 3, the game ball PT flowing down the normal path LT (first normal path LTa in the first embodiment) is connected to the intrusion prevention member 41. It becomes impossible to contact, and it becomes impossible to prevent the gaming ball PT from entering the high probability winning path LK.

前記侵入防止部材41は、通常は前記遊技盤3の表面から後退した第二状態とされる。そのため、前記通常経路LT(第一通常経路LTa)を流下してくる遊技球PTは、前記侵入防止部材41と接触することなく前記遊技領域6を流下し、前記高確率入賞経路LKへ侵入する可能性がある。それに対し、前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ(侵入防止部材用遊技球検出手段)46により、前記遊技球誘導部45に遊技球が進入したこと(前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ46が前記高確率入賞経路LKに設けられている場合には前記高確率入賞経路LKに遊技球が進入したこと)が検出されると、前記検出信号が主制御回路へ送信され、主制御回路からの制御信号によって前記ソレノイド47が作動し、前記侵入防止部材41が前記遊技盤3の表面から突出した第一状態に所定期間され、その後再び前記第二状態に戻る。前記第一状態において、前記通常経路LT(第一通常経路LTa)を流下してくる遊技球PTは、前記高確率入賞経路LKへ侵入する前に前記侵入防止部材41に接触して軌道が変更され、前記高確率入賞経路LKへの侵入が防止可能となる。そのため、前記高確率入賞経路LKを流下してくる遊技球PKは、前記通常経路LT(第一通常経路LTa)を流下してくる遊技球PTと衝突することなく、前記始動入賞口10へ入賞することが可能になる。   The intrusion prevention member 41 is normally in a second state in which it is retracted from the surface of the game board 3. Therefore, the game ball PT flowing down the normal path LT (first normal path LTa) flows down the game area 6 without contacting the intrusion prevention member 41 and enters the high probability winning path LK. there is a possibility. On the other hand, when the game ball has entered the game ball guiding portion 45 by the game ball detection switch for intrusion prevention member (game ball detection means for intrusion prevention member) 46 (the game ball detection switch for intrusion prevention member 46 is When it is detected that the game ball has entered the high probability winning path LK when the high probability winning path LK is provided, the detection signal is transmitted to the main control circuit. The solenoid 47 is actuated by a control signal, and the intrusion prevention member 41 is set in a first state protruding from the surface of the game board 3 for a predetermined period, and then returns to the second state again. In the first state, the game ball PT flowing down the normal path LT (first normal path LTa) contacts the intrusion prevention member 41 before entering the high probability winning path LK, and the trajectory is changed. Intrusion into the high probability winning path LK can be prevented. Therefore, the game ball PK flowing down the high-probability winning path LK wins the start winning opening 10 without colliding with the game ball PT flowing down the normal path LT (first normal path LTa). It becomes possible to do.

なお、前記第一状態にされる所定期間としては、前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ46による遊技球の検出から、前記高確率入賞経路LKを流下する遊技球PKが前記始動入賞口10へ入賞するまでの時間を予め設定しておいたり、あるいは前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ46による遊技球の検出時点から、前記始動入賞口10への遊技球の入賞が後記の特別図柄変動開始スイッチ(始動入賞口センサー)で検出された時点までとし、特別図柄変動開始スイッチ(始動入賞口センサー)による遊技球検出によって前記侵入防止部材41が第二状態に戻るように設定してもよい。   In addition, as the predetermined period to be in the first state, the gaming ball PK flowing down the high probability winning path LK from the detection of the gaming ball by the gaming ball detection switch 46 for the intrusion prevention member to the start winning opening 10. The time until winning a prize is set in advance, or the winning of a game ball to the start winning opening 10 starts from the time point when the game ball is detected by the game ball detection switch 46 for intrusion prevention member. Until the point of time detected by the switch (start winning port sensor), the intrusion prevention member 41 may be set to return to the second state by the game ball detection by the special symbol variation start switch (start winning port sensor).

また、この第一実施例では、前記侵入防止部材41を、前記高確率入賞経路LKの左側の前記第一通常経路LTaの途中に設けたが、前記高確率入賞経路LKの右側の前記第二通常経路LTbの途中に設けてもよい。   In the first embodiment, the intrusion prevention member 41 is provided in the middle of the first normal path LTa on the left side of the high probability winning path LK, but the second part on the right side of the high probability winning path LK. You may provide in the middle of normal path | route LTb.

図6は第二実施例の遊技機の一部を示す正面図、図7は図6のB−B断面図、図8は図6のC−C断面図である。この第二実施例では、前記第一実施例における侵入防止部材41に相当する侵入防止部材410a,410bを、前記高確率入賞経路LKの両側で前記高確率入賞経路LKを挟むように設けた構成からなり、他の構成は前記第一実施例と同様である。なお、前記第一実施例と同様の部分については、前記第一実施例で用いた符号と同じ符号で示すと共に、説明を省略あるいは簡略にし、相違する部分についてのみ詳細に説明する。   6 is a front view showing a part of the gaming machine of the second embodiment, FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. 6, and FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. In the second embodiment, intrusion prevention members 410a and 410b corresponding to the intrusion prevention member 41 in the first embodiment are provided so as to sandwich the high probability winning path LK on both sides of the high probability winning path LK. The other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment. Note that portions similar to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those used in the first embodiment, and description thereof is omitted or simplified, and only different portions will be described in detail.

第二実施例では、前記高確率入賞経路LKの左側については、前記第一通常経路LTaと前記高確率入賞経路LKとの交差位置Zよりも前記第一通常経路LTaの上流側(前記交差位置Zに対して前記第一通常経路LTaからの遊技球進入側)に第一侵入防止部材410aが設けられて、前記第一通常経路を流下してきた遊技球PTaが前記高確率入賞経路LKへ侵入するのが防止可能とされ、また前記高確率入賞経路LKの右側については、前記第二通常経路LTbと前記高確率入賞経路LKとの交差位置Zよりも前記第二通常経路LTbの上流側(前記交差位置Zに対して前記第二通常経路LTbからの遊技球進入側)に第二侵入防止部材410bが設けられて、前記第二通常経路LTbを流下してきた遊技球PTbが前記高確率入賞経路LKへ侵入するのが防止可能とされている。   In the second embodiment, the left side of the high probability winning path LK is located on the upstream side of the first normal path LTa (the intersection position) with respect to the intersection position Z between the first normal path LTa and the high probability winning path LK. A first intrusion prevention member 410a is provided on the side of Z from the first normal path LTa to the game ball entry side), and the game ball PTa flowing down the first normal path enters the high probability winning path LK. The right side of the high probability winning path LK is on the upstream side of the second normal path LTb from the intersection position Z between the second normal path LTb and the high probability winning path LK ( A second intrusion prevention member 410b is provided on the intersection position Z on the game ball entry side from the second normal route LTb), and the game ball PTb flowing down the second normal route LTb receives the high probability prize. Sutra From entering the LK it is possible to prevent.

さらに、前記第一侵入防止部材410a及び前記第二侵入防止部材410bは、図7及び図8から理解されるように、前記遊技盤3の裏側に配設された前進後退可能な作動部471a,471bを有するソレノイド472a,472b(請求項1及び2における駆動手段)によって、前記遊技盤3の表面から突出した第一状態(図7,図8の波線で示す411a,411b)と、前記遊技盤3の表面から後退した第二状態(図7,図8の実線で示す412a,412b)間を前進後退可能とされている。前記第一状態においては、前記第一侵入防止部材410aと第二侵入防止部材410bが前記遊技盤3の表面から突出した状態となるため、前記第一通常経路LTaを流下する遊技球PTaは前記高確率入賞経路LKへ侵入する前に前記第一侵入防止部材410aに接触して軌道が変更され、また、前記第二通常経路LTbを流下する遊技球PTbは前記高確率入賞経路LKへ侵入する前に前記第二侵入防止部材410bに接触して軌道が変更され、それぞれ前記高確率入賞経路LKへの侵入が防止可能となる。それに対して前記第二状態においては、前記第一侵入防止部材410a及び前記第二侵入防止部材410bが前記遊技盤3の表面から後退した状態となるため、前記第一通常経路LTaを流下する遊技球PTa及び前記第二通常経路LTbを流下する遊技球PTbが、前記第一侵入防止部材410aや前記第二侵入防止部材410bと接触できなくなるため、前記高確率入賞経路LKへの前記遊技球PTa,PTbの侵入防止が不可能となる。   Further, the first intrusion prevention member 410a and the second intrusion prevention member 410b are, as will be understood from FIGS. 7 and 8, an operating portion 471a, which is disposed on the back side of the game board 3 and can be moved forward and backward. A first state (411a, 411b indicated by a broken line in FIGS. 7 and 8) which protrudes from the surface of the game board 3 by solenoids 472a and 472b (driving means in claims 1 and 2) having 471b, and the game board 3 can be moved forward and backward between the second states (412a and 412b shown by solid lines in FIGS. 7 and 8) retracted from the surface of FIG. In the first state, since the first intrusion prevention member 410a and the second intrusion prevention member 410b are in a state of protruding from the surface of the game board 3, the game ball PTa flowing down the first normal path LTa is Before entering the high probability winning path LK, the trajectory is changed by contacting the first intrusion prevention member 410a, and the game ball PTb flowing down the second normal path LTb enters the high probability winning path LK. The trajectory is changed by previously contacting the second intrusion prevention member 410b, and the intrusion into the high probability winning path LK can be prevented. On the other hand, in the second state, the first intrusion prevention member 410a and the second intrusion prevention member 410b are in a state of being retracted from the surface of the game board 3, so that the game flows down the first normal path LTa. Since the ball PTa and the game ball PTb flowing down the second normal path LTb cannot contact the first intrusion prevention member 410a or the second intrusion prevention member 410b, the game ball PTa to the high probability winning path LK , PTb cannot be prevented from entering.

前記侵入防止部材410a,410bは、通常は前記遊技盤3の表面から後退した第二状態とされる。そのため、前記第一通常経路LTaを流下してくる遊技球PTa及び前記第二通常経路LTbを流下してくる遊技球PTbは、前記第一侵入防止部材410aや前記第二侵入防止部材410bと接触することなく流下し、前記第一通常経路LTaや前記第二通常経路LTbと前記高確率入賞経路LKとの交差位置Zを超えて流下することがある。なお、前記第一通常経路LTaと前記第二通常経路LTbが前記高確率入賞経路LKに対して対称に配設されていない場合には、前記第一通常経路LTaと前記高確率入賞経路LKとの交差位置と、前記第二通常経路LTbと前記高確率入賞経路LKとの交差位置は一致せず、異なる位置となるが、本発明はそのような交差位置が異なる場合でもよい。   The intrusion prevention members 410a and 410b are normally in a second state in which they are retracted from the surface of the game board 3. Therefore, the game ball PTa flowing down the first normal path LTa and the game ball PTb flowing down the second normal path LTb are in contact with the first intrusion prevention member 410a and the second intrusion prevention member 410b. The first normal route LTa or the second normal route LTb and the high-probability winning route LK may cross the crossing position Z. If the first normal path LTa and the second normal path LTb are not symmetrically arranged with respect to the high probability winning path LK, the first normal path LTa and the high probability winning path LK The crossing position of the second normal route LTb and the high probability winning route LK do not coincide with each other and are different from each other. However, the present invention may be applied when the crossing positions are different.

それに対し、前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ(侵入防止部材用遊技球検出手段)46により、前記遊技球誘導部45に遊技球が進入したこと(前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ46が前記高確率入賞経路LKに設けられている場合には前記高確率入賞経路LKに遊技球が進入したこと)が検出されると、前記検出信号が主制御回路へ送信され、主制御回路からの制御信号によって前記第一侵入防止部材のソレノイド472a及び前記第二侵入部材のソレノイド472bが作動し、前記第一侵入防止部材410a及び前記第二侵入防止部材410bが同時に前記遊技盤3の表面から突出した第一状態に所定期間され、その後再び前記第二状態に戻る。前記第一状態において、前記第一通常経路LTaを流下してくる遊技球PTaは、前記高確率入賞経路LKへ侵入する前に前記第一侵入防止部材410aに接触して軌道が変更され、また、前記第二通常経路LTbを流下する遊技球PTbは前記高確率入賞経路LKへ侵入する前に前記第二侵入防止部材410bに接触して軌道が変更され、それぞれ前記高確率入賞経路LKへの侵入が防止可能となる。そのため、前記高確率入賞経路LKを流下してくる遊技球PKが、前記第一通常経路LTaを流下してくる遊技球PTa及び前記第二通常経路LTbを流下してくる遊技球PTbの何れとも衝突することなく、前記始動入賞口10への入賞が可能になる。したがって、前記第二実施例においては、前記高確率入賞経路LKを流下する遊技球PKが、他の経路からの遊技球と衝突して、前記高確率入賞経路LKから軌道が外れるのをより確実に防止することができ、前記高確率入賞経路LKを流下する遊技球PKが前記始動入賞口10へ入賞する可能性を一層向上させることが可能である。   On the other hand, when the game ball has entered the game ball guiding portion 45 by the game ball detection switch for intrusion prevention member (game ball detection means for intrusion prevention member) 46 (the game ball detection switch for intrusion prevention member 46 is When it is detected that the game ball has entered the high probability winning path LK when the high probability winning path LK is provided, the detection signal is transmitted to the main control circuit. The control signal activates the solenoid 472a of the first intrusion prevention member and the solenoid 472b of the second intrusion member, and the first intrusion prevention member 410a and the second intrusion prevention member 410b simultaneously protrude from the surface of the game board 3. The first state is performed for a predetermined period, and then returns to the second state again. In the first state, the game ball PTa flowing down the first normal path LTa contacts the first intrusion prevention member 410a before entering the high probability winning path LK, and the trajectory is changed. The game ball PTb flowing down the second normal path LTb contacts the second intrusion prevention member 410b before entering the high probability winning path LK, and the trajectory is changed. Intrusion can be prevented. Therefore, the game ball PK flowing down the high probability winning path LK is the game ball PTa flowing down the first normal path LTa and the game ball PTb flowing down the second normal path LTb. It is possible to win the start winning opening 10 without colliding. Therefore, in the second embodiment, it is more certain that the game ball PK flowing down the high probability winning path LK collides with the game ball from another path and deviates from the high probability winning path LK. It is possible to further prevent the game ball PK flowing down the high probability winning path LK from winning the start winning opening 10.

なお、前記第一状態にされる所定期間としては、前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ46による遊技球の検出から、前記高確率入賞経路LKを流下する遊技球PKが前記始動入賞口10へ入賞するまでの時間を予め設定しておいたり、あるいは前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ46による遊技球の検出時点から、前記始動入賞口10への遊技球の入賞が前記特別図柄変動開始スイッチ(始動入賞口センサー)で検出された時点までとし、特別図柄変動開始スイッチ(始動入賞口センサー)による遊技球検出によって前記第一侵入防止部材410a及び前記第二侵入防止部材410bが第二状態に戻るように設定してもよい。   In addition, as the predetermined period to be in the first state, the gaming ball PK flowing down the high probability winning path LK from the detection of the gaming ball by the gaming ball detection switch 46 for the intrusion prevention member to the start winning opening 10. The time until winning a prize is set in advance, or the winning of the game ball to the start winning opening 10 from the time of detection of the game ball by the gaming ball detection switch 46 for intrusion prevention member is the special symbol variation start switch The first entry prevention member 410a and the second entry prevention member 410b are brought into the second state by the detection of the game ball by the special symbol variation start switch (start prize winning opening sensor) until the time point detected by the (start winning prize opening sensor). It may be set to return.

なお、前記第一侵入防止部材410a及び前記第二侵入防止部材410bの作動は、前記高確率入賞経路LKを流下してくる遊技球PKが、前記第一通常経路LTaを流下してくる遊技球PTa及び前記第二通常経路LTbを流下してくる遊技球PTbの何れとも衝突しなければ、同時でなくてもよい。例えば、前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ46による遊技球の検出に基づき、まず前記第一侵入防止部材410aが前記第一状態になり、その後所定時間遅れて前記第二侵入防止部材410bが前記第一状態になり、また、前記第二状態に戻る際には、まず前記第二侵入防止部材410bが前記第二状態に戻り、続いて前記第一侵入防止部材410aが前記第二状態に戻るように設定したり、あるいはそれらの逆の順序にしてもよい。   The operation of the first intrusion prevention member 410a and the second intrusion prevention member 410b is such that the game ball PK flowing down the high probability winning path LK flows down the first normal path LTa. As long as it does not collide with PTa and any of the game balls PTb flowing down the second normal path LTb, it may not be simultaneous. For example, based on the detection of the game ball by the game ball detection switch 46 for the intrusion prevention member, the first intrusion prevention member 410a is first in the first state, and then the second intrusion prevention member 410b is delayed by a predetermined time. When entering the first state and returning to the second state, the second intrusion prevention member 410b first returns to the second state, and then the first intrusion prevention member 410a returns to the second state. It may be set as such, or in the reverse order.

The game ball exits from the game ball outlet 922 through the symbol display device 900. The game ball outlet 922 is located at the left end (near the center of the game area 6) on the second stage 930, and the game ball discharged from the game ball outlet 922 is the second stage 930 as shown in FIG. The upper rolling part (swinging part) 930a can be rolled (swinging) left and right. The second stage 930 corresponds to a second game ball rolling member, while the stage 44 in the center of the game area corresponds to a first stage and a first game ball rolling member. The second stage 930 is similar to the stage 44 of the first and second embodiments, and the game ball guiding portion has a concave shape in which the metal plate is curved in an arc shape and the center is depressed downward. 933. The front side (player side) of the lower surface of the game ball guiding unit 933 is inclined downward to make it easier for the game ball of the game ball guiding unit 933 to fall directly downward. The second stage 930 is configured such that the game ball falls from the rolling part 930b on the side opposite to the intrusion prevention member 941 (that is, the end side of the game area), which will be described later, based on the position of the game ball guiding part 933. It is not possible. In this embodiment, the opposite rolling portion 930b is covered with a cover 931.

前記遊技球誘導部933には、前記遊技球誘導部933に遊技球が進入したことを検出する第二侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ(請求項1及び2の侵入防止部材用遊技球検出手段に相当する)951が遊技盤3の裏側に設けられている。前記第二侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ951による検出信号は、前記主制御回路へ送信される。なお、前記第二侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ951の位置は、後記する第二高確率入賞経路LKaにおける第三通常経路LTcとの交差位置Zaより上方の遊技盤3の裏側として、前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaに遊技球が進入したことを検出するようにしてもよい。   A game ball detection switch for second intrusion prevention member for detecting that a game ball has entered the game ball guidance unit 933 (game ball detection means for intrusion prevention member according to claim 1 and 2). 951) is provided on the back side of the game board 3. A detection signal from the game ball detection switch 951 for the second intrusion preventing member is transmitted to the main control circuit. The position of the game ball detection switch 951 for the second intrusion prevention member is the back side of the game board 3 above the intersection position Za with the third normal route LTc in the second high probability winning path LKa described later. You may make it detect that the game ball approached into the two high probability winning path LKa.

前記遊技球誘導部933の直下方向には、第二始動入賞口950が設けられている。前記第二始動入賞口950は、二つの可動片950a,950bが、前記始動入賞口(第一始動入賞口)10の可動片10a、10bと同様に裏側のソレノイド(図示せず)によって拡開可能とされ、拡開時には前記第二始動入賞口950への遊技球の入賞を容易にしている。   A second start winning opening 950 is provided directly below the game ball guiding portion 933. In the second start winning opening 950, two movable pieces 950a and 950b are widened by a solenoid (not shown) on the back side in the same manner as the movable pieces 10a and 10b of the start winning opening (first start winning opening) 10. It is possible to facilitate the winning of the game ball to the second start winning opening 950 at the time of expansion.

前記第二ステージ930の前記遊技球誘導部933から直下方向へ流下した遊技球は、前記遊技球誘導部933から第二始動入賞口950へ向かう第二高確率入賞経路LKaを通り、前記第二始動入賞口950へ入賞可能になる。また、前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaに対して前記遊技領域6の端とは反対側(前記遊技領域6の中央寄り側)のみに、第三通常経路LTc(請求項1の通常経路に相当する。)が形成されている。前記第三通常経路LTcは、前記図柄表示装置900における第二ステージ930の転動部(揺動部)930aから流下する遊技球や、前記図柄表示装置900外から流下する遊技球が前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaと交差するように流下する経路であり、前記遊技盤3の誘導釘等によって遊技球が誘導される経路である。   The game ball flowing down from the game ball guiding unit 933 of the second stage 930 passes through the second high probability winning path LKa from the game ball guiding unit 933 to the second start winning port 950, and then the second It becomes possible to win a winning prize opening 950. Further, the third normal route LTc (corresponding to the normal route of claim 1) is provided only on the side opposite to the end of the game area 6 with respect to the second high probability winning path LKa (the center side of the game area 6). Is formed). In the third normal path LTc, the game ball flowing down from the rolling part (swinging part) 930a of the second stage 930 in the symbol display device 900 and the game ball flowing down from the outside of the symbol display device 900 are the second normal path LTc. This is a path that flows down so as to intersect the high probability winning path LKa, and is a path through which a game ball is guided by a guide nail or the like of the game board 3.

前記第三通常経路LTcの途中には、前記第三通常経路LTcと前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaとの交差位置Zaよりも前記第三通常経路LTcの上流側(前記交差位置Zaに対して前記第三通常経路LTcからの遊技球進入側)に第三侵入防止部材941(請求項1の侵入防止部材に相当する)が設けられている。前記第三通常経路LTcを流下してきた遊技球PTcは、前記第三侵入防止部材941により前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaへの侵入防止が可能となる。   In the middle of the third normal route LTc, an upstream side of the third normal route LTc (with respect to the intersection position Za) with respect to the intersection position Za of the third normal route LTc and the second high probability winning route LKa. A third intrusion prevention member 941 (corresponding to the intrusion prevention member of claim 1) is provided on the game ball entry side from the third normal path LTc. The game ball PTc that has flowed down the third normal path LTc can be prevented from entering the second high probability winning path LKa by the third intrusion prevention member 941.

前記第三侵入防止部材941は、前記第一実施例及び第二実施例の侵入防止部材41、第一侵入防止部材410a及び第二侵入防止部材410bと同様に、遊技盤の裏面に設けられたソレノイド(請求項1及び2における駆動手段に相当する)によって、前記遊技盤3の表面から突出した第一状態と、前記遊技盤3の表面から後退した第二状態間を前進後退可能とされている。前記第一状態においては、前記第三通常経路LTcを流下する遊技球PTcは前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaへ侵入する前に前記第三侵入防止部材941に接触して軌道が変更され、前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaへの侵入が防止可能となる。それに対して前記第二状態においては、前記第三通常経路LTcを流下する遊技球PTcは、前記第三侵入防止部材941と接触することなく流下し、前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaへの侵入防止不可能となる。   The third intrusion prevention member 941 is provided on the back surface of the game board, similarly to the intrusion prevention member 41, the first intrusion prevention member 410a, and the second intrusion prevention member 410b in the first and second embodiments. By a solenoid (corresponding to the driving means in claims 1 and 2), it is possible to move forward and backward between a first state protruding from the surface of the game board 3 and a second state retracted from the surface of the game board 3. Yes. In the first state, the game ball PTc flowing down the third normal path LTc contacts the third intrusion prevention member 941 before entering the second high probability winning path LKa, and the trajectory is changed. Intrusion into the second high probability winning path LKa can be prevented. On the other hand, in the second state, the game ball PTc flowing down the third normal path LTc flows down without contacting the third intrusion prevention member 941 and enters the second high probability winning path LKa. It becomes impossible to prevent.

また、前記第三侵入防止部材941は、通常は前記遊技盤3の表面から後退した第二状態とされる。そのため、前記第三通常経路LTcを流下してくる遊技球PTcは、前記第三侵入防止部材941と接触することなく流下する。前記第二始動入賞口950の付近には、前記第三侵入防止部材941と接触することなく前記第三通常経路LTcを流下してくる遊技球PTcのための流下経路として、前記遊技球PTcが前記第二始動入賞口950へ入賞したり、前記第三通常経路LTcと前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaとの交差位置Zaを超えて流下したりすることが可能な経路が形成されている。   Further, the third intrusion prevention member 941 is normally in a second state in which it is retracted from the surface of the game board 3. Therefore, the game ball PTc flowing down the third normal path LTc flows down without contacting the third intrusion prevention member 941. In the vicinity of the second start winning opening 950, the game ball PTc serves as a flow path for the game ball PTc flowing down the third normal path LTc without contacting the third intrusion prevention member 941. A path is formed that can win the second start winning opening 950, or can flow down beyond the intersection position Za between the third normal path LTc and the second high probability winning path LKa.

それに対し、前記第三侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ(侵入防止部材用遊技球検出手段)951により、前記遊技球誘導部933に遊技球が進入したこと(前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ951が前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaに設けられている場合には前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaに遊技球が進入したこと)が検出されると、前記検出信号が主制御回路へ送信され、主制御回路からの制御信号によって前記第三侵入防止部材のソレノイドが作動し、前記第三侵入防止部材941が前記遊技盤3の表面から突出した第一状態に所定期間され、その後再び前記第二状態に戻る。前記第一状態において、前記第三通常経路LTcを流下してくる遊技球PTcは、前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaへ侵入する前に前記第三侵入防止部材941に接触して軌道が変更され、前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaへの侵入が防止可能となる。そのため、前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaを流下してくる遊技球PKaは、前記第三通常経路LTcを流下してくる遊技球PTcと衝突することなく、前記第二始動入賞口950へ入賞することが可能になる。   On the other hand, the game ball detecting switch (game ball detecting means for intrusion prevention member) 951 has entered the game ball guiding portion 933 (the game ball detection switch for intrusion prevention member). When 951 is provided in the second high probability winning path LKa, it is detected that a game ball has entered the second high probability winning path LKa), and the detection signal is transmitted to the main control circuit. The solenoid of the third intrusion prevention member is actuated by a control signal from the main control circuit, and the third intrusion prevention member 941 is brought into the first state protruding from the surface of the game board 3 for a predetermined period, and then the Return to the second state. In the first state, the game ball PTc flowing down the third normal path LTc contacts the third intrusion prevention member 941 before entering the second high probability winning path LKa, and the trajectory is changed. Intrusion into the second high probability winning path LKa can be prevented. Therefore, the game ball PKa flowing down the second high probability winning path LKa wins the second start winning opening 950 without colliding with the game ball PTc flowing down the third normal path LTc. It becomes possible.

このように、前記第三実施例においては、前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaを流下する遊技球PKaが、他の経路からの遊技球と衝突して、前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaから軌道が外れるのを防止可能なため、前記第二高確率入賞経路LKaを流下する遊技球PKaが前記第二始動入賞口950へ入賞する可能性を向上させることが可能になる。   Thus, in the third embodiment, the game ball PKa flowing down the second high probability winning path LKa collides with a game ball from another path and trajectory from the second high probability winning path LKa. Therefore, it is possible to improve the possibility that the game ball PKa flowing down the second high probability winning path LKa will win the second start winning opening 950.

また、前記第三実施例において、前記遊技領域6の左側へ遊技球が打ち込まれた場合には、前記第二実施例と同様に、前記第一侵入防止部材410a及び前記第二侵入防止部材410bが作動し、前記第一始動入賞口10や他の入賞口への入賞、あるいは前記アウト口17へ向けて、遊技球が流下する。以上、第三実施例においては、遊技領域の端側に、前記第二高確率入賞経路LKa及び前記第三侵入防止部材941を配置した構成にしているが、図示の例に限るものではなく、例えば、第一実施例及び第二実施例のような遊技領域の中央部において、前記第二通常経路LTbが予め存在しないように設定されている場合に、この第三実施例のように遊技領域の端側に高確率入賞経路及び通常経路を配設してもよい。   In the third embodiment, when a game ball is driven to the left side of the game area 6, as in the second embodiment, the first intrusion prevention member 410a and the second intrusion prevention member 410b. Is activated, and the game balls flow down toward the first start winning opening 10 and other winning openings, or toward the out opening 17. As described above, in the third embodiment, the second high probability winning path LKa and the third intrusion prevention member 941 are arranged on the end side of the game area, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example. For example, when the second normal route LTb is set in advance so as not to exist in the center of the game area as in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the game area as in the third embodiment. A high-probability winning path and a normal path may be arranged on the end side.

なお、本発明の侵入防止部材は、誘導釘以外の部材により構成されるのが好ましい。理由としては、誘導釘を侵入防止部材として用いた場合には遊技球の前記高確率入賞経路への侵入防止の調整が困難となるためである。   The intrusion prevention member of the present invention is preferably composed of a member other than the guide nail. The reason is that when a guide nail is used as an intrusion prevention member, it is difficult to adjust the invasion prevention of the game ball into the high probability winning path.

本発明は、前記実施例に限定されず、発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲において構成の一部を適宜に変更して実施することができる。例えば、前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチ(侵入防止部材用検出手段)が遊技球の検出信号を送信し、それによって前記侵入防止部材が第一状態になるように設定されているが、前記侵入防止部材用遊技球検出スイッチを遊技球が通過する際に遊技球の自重によって前記侵入防止部材が第一状態になるような構成(例えばシーソー式構造)でもよい。また、前記侵入防止部材は、遊技球を前記高確率入賞経路に侵入防止可能な第一状態と侵入防止不可能な第二状態間を可動とするために前進後退可能な構成となっているが、前記侵入防止部材が、前記侵入防止部材により遊技球を前記高確率入賞経路に侵入防止可能な第一状態と侵入防止不可能な第二状態とに可動するものであればどのような構成であってもよい。   The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be implemented by appropriately changing a part of the configuration without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the gaming ball detection switch for intrusion prevention member (detection means for intrusion prevention member) transmits a game ball detection signal so that the intrusion prevention member is in the first state. A configuration in which the intrusion prevention member is in the first state by the weight of the game ball when the game ball passes through the game ball detection switch for intrusion prevention member (for example, a seesaw structure) may be used. In addition, the intrusion prevention member is configured to be able to move forward and backward in order to make the game ball movable between a first state in which the game ball can be prevented from entering the high probability winning path and a second state in which the invasion cannot be prevented. The intrusion prevention member may be configured in any manner as long as the intrusion prevention member can move the game ball into the first state where the intrusion prevention member can be prevented from entering the high probability winning path and the second state where the intrusion prevention is impossible. There may be.

また、前記始動入賞口は、遊技球が入球によって入賞するものに限られず、通過によって入賞するものであってもよい。また、前記実施例においては、始動入賞口付近に高確率入賞経路や侵入防止部材等を設けたが、それに限るものではなく他の入賞口付近に高確率入賞経路や侵入防止部材等を設けてもよい。その場合、前記始動入賞口のように遊技者にとって入賞の価値の高い入賞口付近に高確率入賞経路や侵入防止部材等を設けることにより、本発明の効果がより高まる。更にまた、前記第三実施例では、遊技領域の中央と右端の両方に始動入賞口を設けたが、遊技領域の中央に設けず、遊技領域の端のみに設けるようにしてもよい。更に、本実施例では、本発明を所謂第1種と称される弾球遊技機に適用しているが、所謂第2種や3種等の弾球遊技機に適用してもよい。なお、本実施例において、前記通常経路や高確率入賞経路を遊技球が流下する構成にしているが、ここでいう「流下する」とは、「誘導する」という意味も含まれている。   The start winning opening is not limited to a game ball that is won by winning, but may be a winning ball that passes through. In the above embodiment, the high probability winning path and the intrusion prevention member are provided in the vicinity of the start winning opening. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Also good. In that case, the effect of the present invention is further enhanced by providing a high-probability winning path, an intrusion prevention member, and the like in the vicinity of the winning opening having a high winning value for the player like the starting winning opening. Furthermore, in the third embodiment, the start winning opening is provided at both the center and the right end of the game area, but it may be provided only at the end of the game area, not at the center of the game area. Further, in the present embodiment, the present invention is applied to a so-called first type of ball game machine, but may be applied to a so-called second type or third type of ball game machine. In the present embodiment, the game ball is configured to flow down the normal route and the high probability winning route, but “flowing down” here also means “guidance”.

以上より、高確率入賞経路を流下中の遊技球が通常経路から流下する遊技球に衝突することにより、高確率入賞経路を流下中の遊技球が高確率入賞経路から軌道が外れ、始動入賞口に入賞するはずの遊技球が始動入賞口に入賞しないという可能性が低減されるため、遊技者は安心して、高確率入賞経路を流下する遊技球を見ることが可能であり、更に侵入防止部材が第二状態を有することにより、高確率入賞経路に遊技球が存在しない場合において、通常経路を流下してくる遊技球も始動入賞口に入賞することが可能であり、通常経路を流下してくる遊技球が著しく始動入賞口に入賞し難くなる虞を低減することが可能であるため、趣向性が高まる。   As described above, when a game ball flowing down the high probability winning path collides with a game ball flowing down from the normal path, the game ball flowing down the high probability winning path goes out of the path from the high probability winning path, and the start winning opening The possibility that a game ball that should win a prize will not win the start prize opening is reduced, so that the player can safely see the game ball flowing down the high probability winning path and further prevent intrusion By having the second state, when there is no gaming ball on the high probability winning path, it is possible for the gaming ball flowing down the normal path to also win the starting prize opening and flow down the normal path. Since it is possible to reduce the possibility that the coming game ball will be extremely difficult to win the start winning opening, the preference is increased.
