The game balls that have been issued and have not won the winning opening are collected from the out opening.

  On the other hand, enclosed pachinko machines are installed in so-called game centers and the like. Enclosed pachinko machines are produced by diverting payout pachinko machines. A predetermined number of game balls are enclosed and stored in the machine, and the enclosed game balls are used in a circulating manner. It is like that.

  Specifically, the game ball sealed in the aircraft is sent to the launch position by the player's handle operation. The game ball sent to the launch position is bulleted by the launch device, is guided by the rail, ascends the driving path so as to draw an arc, and is sent to the game area of the game board. The game balls sent to the game area flow down the board while being played by the obstacle nails. When a prize is entered in the winning slot while flowing down the board, a credit corresponding to the number of payouts is given to the player. On the other hand, if it has flown down the board and has not finally won the winning opening, it will flow into the out opening.

  The game balls that have won the winning opening and the game balls that have flowed into the out opening are finally collected and collected in the upper plate, and then returned to the launch position again. The encapsulated sphere returned to the launch position is again bulleted by the launch device.
