  The present invention solves the above-described problems of the prior art, and provides a pachinko gaming machine that is difficult for a player to know whether the winning rate to a specific winning opening in the winning device is high or low and rich in fun. With the goal.

  A pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention is a pachinko gaming machine having a movable body that is operated by an electric drive source and repels a game ball won in the winning device in a winning device having a specific winning opening. It is characterized in that the winning rate to the specific winning opening is changed by changing the resilience strength of the movable body.

  According to the present invention, since the winning rate to the specific winning opening is changed by changing the resilience strength of the movable body, the conventional driving pattern and the winning rate in which the driving timing and driving time are changed for the player. Unlike the easy-to-understand relationship, it becomes difficult to understand whether the winning rate for a specific winning opening is high or low, and it can be expected to continue the game without lacking the fun of the game.

  Here, by changing the magnitude of the current supplied to the electric drive source, the elasticity of the movable body is changed.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 is a schematic front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of a winning device of the pachinko gaming machine, FIG. 3 is a schematic sectional view of the winning device, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the main processes executed by the main board, respectively.

  In FIG. 1, a winning device 3 is arranged at the center of a game area 2 of the game board 1, and three left and right start ports 4, 5, 6 are arranged below it.

  The winning device 3 allows the game ball to enter the winning device 3 on condition that the game balls have entered the start openings 4, 5, 6. A special game state that gives a player a special benefit when a hit ball enters a specific winning hole 10 that looks like a cup on a gentle slope 9 that looks like a golf iron, which is like a golf iron. A state in which a large number of game balls enter the apparatus 3 and a large number of prize balls can be paid out is generated.

  Specifically, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2, the winning device 3 includes a winning opening 11 at the top, and the winning opening 11 is opened and closed by a movable piece 12 movable in the left-right direction. The movable piece 12 moves to the left only once and opens the winning opening 11 when a game ball enters the starting openings 4 and 6 at the left and right ends of the three starting openings 4, 5, 6. 3 is allowed to enter the game ball, and when the game ball enters the central starting port 5, the game ball is intermittently moved to the left twice and the winning port 11 is opened twice intermittently. It makes it easier to enter the game ball into the device 3.

  In the winning opening 11, an entrance 14 of a guide rod 13 extending in the vertical direction for guiding the game ball that has entered the winning opening 11 to a place where the movable body (iron) 8 is located is disposed. The exit 15 of the guide rod 13 is disposed above the gentle slope 16 that is regarded as a golf fairway, and the specific character 7 having the iron 8 is disposed below the gentle slope 16. The game ball that has exited from the outlet 15 of the guide rod 13 is configured to roll on the gentle slope 16 and to be set at the front end portion 8a (iron head portion) of the movable body 8, that is, at the hitting position.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the specific character 7 is fitted in the recess 17 of the game board 1, and the base 8b (iron grip) of the movable body 8 is a rotary solenoid 18 (electric drive source). The iron 8 is swung by the rotation of the rotary solenoid rotating shaft 19 and hits the set game ball toward the gentle slope 9 (green). Here, the timing at which the iron 8 starts to swing is determined such that a predetermined time elapses from when the game ball entered the winning device 3 is detected by the winning ball detection switch 20 provided on the guide rod 13, and the game ball It is set in advance at a predetermined time after the ball is reliably set at the hitting position.

  Further, the rotation range (iron swing width) of the movable body 8 is always set constant, but the rotation speed (swing speed) is set to be variable. That is, the current supplied to the rotary solenoid 18, that is, the supply current, is set in three levels, for example, large, medium and small (for example, “large” is 0.3 A, “medium” is 0.2 A, and “small” is 0.1 A). It is.

  When the supply current is “Large”, the swing speed of the iron 8 is high. In other words, the impact strength of the iron 8 is “Large”, and the ball hit by the iron 8 is as shown in FIG. A large locus A is drawn and turned on to the back (right) from the specific winning opening 10 (cup) on the gentle slope 9 (green). Thereafter, the cup 10 It is divided into cases where a big hit state occurs (this is a rare case).

  When the supply current is “small”, the swing speed of the iron 8 is low, in other words, the impact strength of the iron 8 is “small”, and the hit ball hit by the iron 8 is as shown in FIG. A small trace B is drawn and turned on to the front (left) of the cup 10 on the green 9, and then spills from the green 9 and enters the hole 21, and enters the cup 10 and a big hit state occurs ( In a rare case, a big hit state is more likely to occur than when the supply current is “large”.

  When the supply current is “medium”, the swing speed of the iron 8 is a medium speed. In other words, the impact strength of the iron 8 is “medium”, and the hit ball hit by the iron 8 is as shown in FIG. A moderate trajectory C is drawn and turned on in the vicinity of the cup 10 on the green 9 to easily chip into the cup 10 as it is, and a big hit state is likely to occur.

  A ballistic strength level gauge 23 composed of an LED or the like that displays the ballistic strength of the iron 8 as described above in a bar graph is provided at an appropriate location of the winning device 3. The trajectory of the hit ball can be predicted to some extent by the display of the gauge 23.

  Next, main electric systems will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 4, on the input side of the main board 50, start port switches 60, 61, 62 that are turned on when a game ball wins the start ports 4, 5, 6, and the guide rod 13 are provided. A winning ball detection switch 20 that detects that a game ball has been won in the winning device 3 by turning on at times, and a V detection switch 70 that is turned on when a gaming ball has been won in the specific winning opening (cup) 10 are connected. ing.

  Further, the movable piece 12 (for example, solenoid-driven movable piece) and the rotary solenoid 18 are connected to the output side of the main substrate 50, respectively, and the movable body (iron) is connected to the rotary shaft 19 of the rotary solenoid 18 as described above. ) 8 is fixed.

  The main board 50 constitutes a resilience lottery means 51 and a big hit operation control means 52 as functional main means. Here, the ballistic strength lottery means 51 has the ballistic strength of the movable body (iron) 8 having three levels of large, medium, and small, on condition that a game ball wins the winning device 3 and the winning ball detection switch 20 is turned on. A lottery with respect to is performed, and a process of selecting one bullet strength is performed. The big hit operation control means generates a big hit state on condition that the game ball wins the specific winning opening (cup) 10 and the V detection switch 70 is turned on, and controls the movable piece 12 to control a large number of hits. A process is performed in which a game ball is won in the winning device 3 and a large number of winning balls are paid out.

  Further, the main board 50 performs main processing in the procedure as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 5, the main board 50 determines which one of the three start port switches 60, 61, 62 is turned on, so that the game ball has won one of the start ports 4, 5, 6. If it is determined (S1) and it is determined that the game ball has won any one of the start ports 4, 5, and 6, the movable piece 12 is driven and controlled in accordance with the start ports 4, 5, and 6 that the game ball has won. Then, the winning opening 11 of the winning device 3 is temporarily opened once or twice (S2). Next, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won the winning device 3 by determining whether or not the winning ball detection switch 20 is turned on when the winning port 11 of the winning device 3 is opened (S3). When it is determined that the game ball has won the winning device 3, the bullet strength of the movable body (iron) 8 is set to any one of the three, large, medium, and small levels. A lottery of strength is performed (S4). Next, the movable body (iron) 8 is actuated by supplying a current of a magnitude corresponding to the selected bullet strength to the rotary solenoid 18 (S5). This operation timing is after the game ball that has passed through the guide rod 13 is set in front of the head portion 8a of the iron 8 as described above. Next, by determining whether or not the V detection switch 70 is turned on, it is determined whether or not the game ball hit by the iron 8 has won a specific winning opening (cup) 10 (S6). If it is determined that the cup 10 has been won, a big hit operation is performed (S7).

  As described above, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment is operated by the electric drive source (rotary solenoid 18) in the winning device 3 provided with the specific winning opening (cup 10) and won in the winning device 3. This is a pachinko gaming machine equipped with a movable body (iron 8) that shoots a ball, and is configured to change the winning rate to the specific winning opening 10 by changing the impact strength of the movable body 8.
