Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine in which an obstacle that changes the course of a game ball that has been placed is provided on a gaming board.

  In this type of gaming machine, a player plays a game with the expectation that the launched game ball will win a target winning opening. Whether or not the game ball wins the target prize opening depends on how the game ball changes its course due to collisions with nails and obstacles planted on the game board. However, it is difficult for beginners to identify which nail the game ball actually collided with.

  Therefore, a sensor for detecting vibration and shock is provided at the base of the nail or obstacle to detect the collision of the game ball, and the light emitting part provided on the head of the nail or the obstacle is caused to emit light so that the collision position is recognized. A gaming machine configured as described above has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The game ball sensor 40 includes a conductive nail 22 serving as an obstacle-side electrode and a plurality of electrodes 42 provided on the surface of the game board 12 around the conductive nail 22. When the conductive game ball A collides with the nail 22, the electrode 42 is arranged so that the nail 22 and the electrode 42 are conducted through the game ball A.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of electrodes 42 (electrodes 42 a to 42 l) are provided around the nail 22 according to the direction in which the game ball collides with the nail 22. The nail 22 is a common electrode for the plurality of electrodes 42a to 42l. The nail 22 detects from which direction the game ball has collided with the nail 22 depending on which electrode 42 and the nail 22 are in conduction. ing.

  In FIG. 4, the fan-shaped electrodes 42 a to 42 l are arranged so as to surround the entire circumference of the nail 22. However, in the game ball sensor 40 of FIG. 2, the game ball can only collide from an angle range of 180 degrees upward. Therefore, the electrode 42 is provided only in the angular range. The angle range in which the electrode 42 is provided may be determined according to the installation position on the game board 12. The number of electrodes 42 to divide the angle range may be determined according to the required direction detection accuracy. In the example of FIG. 4, twelve electrodes 42 a to 42 l are arranged in one circle, and an angle range of about 30 degrees is detected by one electrode 42.

  The game board 12 has a cell board 44 superimposed on a plywood board 43. The cell board 44 includes a first insulating layer 44a, a conductive layer 44b, a second insulating layer 44c, an electrode layer 44d, and an insulating film. 44e is laminated in order from the plywood plate 43 side. The first insulating layer 44a and the second insulating layer 44c are made of resin thin plates, and the conductive layer 44b, the electrode layer 44d, and the insulating coating 44e are formed by screen printing.

  The conductive layer 44b is formed on substantially the entire surface of the game board 12 to form a ground layer. As shown in FIG. 4, the electrode layer 44 d has a circular insulating region 45 around the base of the nail 22, and a plurality of electrodes 42 a to 42 l are provided with a slight gap therebetween so as to surround the periphery. The electrode layer 44 d is formed with a wiring pattern 47 that connects each electrode 42 and a terminal of a connection connector 46 provided at an end of the game board 12. In the electrode layer 44d, the portions of the electrodes 42a to 42l and the wiring pattern 47 have conductivity, and the other portions are insulative. The insulating film 44e functions to cover and protect the wiring pattern 47. The ground terminal 46a of the connection connector 46 is connected to the conductive layer 44b forming the ground layer.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the nail 22 planted in the center of the circular insulating region 45 is in contact with the conductive layer 44b forming the ground layer and forms an earth side electrode. The circular insulating region 45 provided at the base of the nail 22 functions to prevent the nail 22 and the electrode 42 from coming into direct contact and short-circuiting. The radius of the insulating region 45 is set to be shorter than the radius of the game ball A (about half of the radius in the figure), and the electrode 42 is provided in the range of the radius of the game ball A ± several millimeters from the side wall of the nail 22. That is, when the game ball A collides with the nail 22, the nail 22 that is a common electrode and the electrode 42 are electrically connected via the conductive game ball A. The method for creating the electrodes 42 and the wiring pattern 47 on the game board surface is not limited to screen printing, and may be created by an appropriate method.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the nail 22 that is a common electrode is grounded, and each of the electrodes 42 a to 42 l is connected to a power source via a resistor 48. The game ball sensor 40 outputs a game ball detection signal 49 (49a to 49l) for each of the electrodes 42a to 42l. Each of the game ball detection signals 49a to 49l is always at a power supply potential, and when the game ball A collides with the nail 22, the game ball corresponding to the electrode 42 that is electrically connected to the nail 22 through the collided game ball A. Only the detection signal 49 changes to the ground potential.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the expectation level display unit 60. The expectation level display unit 60 is a display means for displaying the level of possibility that a game ball will enter the winning opening. Here, the expectation degree display part 60 is provided at the lower part of the center case 35, and displays the level of the winning possibility of the game ball to the start opening 25 arranged immediately below the expectation degree display part 60. Although not shown in the drawing, it is preferable to provide sensors for detecting the passage and collision of the game ball at various locations along the typical path of the game ball toward the start port 25. Similar to the game ball detection sensor 40, this sensor may detect a collision of a game ball in each direction, or may simply detect a collision or passage of a game ball. For example, a single sensor may be used without dividing the electrodes 42 embedded in the game board surface near the periphery of the nail 22 by direction.

  The expectation level display part 60 is comprised by seven LED61-67. The LEDs 61 and 67 at the left and right ends indicate the expectation level 1. The LEDs 62 and 66 on the inner side show an expectation level 2 that is more likely to win than the expectation level 1. Further, the LEDs 63 and 65 inside thereof show an expectation level 3 that is more likely to win than the expectation level 2. The central LED 64 shows the highest expectation level 4.

  In addition, the possibility of winning may be displayed using the display area of the variable display device 24. FIG. 6 shows an example of displaying the possibility of winning with a message 68 such as “Easy to enter!” And an example of displaying with a level meter 69.

  FIG. 7 shows various control boards used for controlling the gaming machine body 10a and components related thereto. The control board includes a main board 100, a display control board 110, a payout control board 120, a lamp control board 130, a sound control board 140, a launch control board 150, a power supply board 160, a sensor control board 170, and the like.

  Of these, the main board 100 fulfills the function of controlling the overall operation of the gaming machine 10. The main board 100 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory) (not shown) as main parts. When the game board winning detection signal is input from the switch 191 provided at each winning opening, the main board 100 calculates the number of winning game balls and outputs prize game ball data representing the number of payouts to the payout control board 120. Fulfills the function of

  In addition, when a winning detection signal is input from the start port 25, a random number value is acquired, and this random value indicates whether the display result of the variable display executed by the variable display device 24 is “win” or “out”. Determine based on. In addition, based on this determination, the type of variable display game effect (variation pattern) and the type of symbol (stop symbol / deterministic symbol) constituting the display result are determined, and these are controlled as display control data for variable display. It performs the function of outputting to the board 110, the lamp control board 130, and the sound control board 140. When the display result of the variable display is a win, the solenoid 192 for operating the special winning opening 26 is controlled to generate a specific gaming state.

  Further, the main board 100 also obtains a random number value when a signal indicating the passing detection of the game ball is inputted from the passing gate 28, and the display result of the variable display executed by the normal symbol display device 29 is expressed as “winning” and “off”. Is determined based on the random value. According to this determination result, lighting of the LED of the normal symbol display device 29 is controlled to execute variable display. When the result of the variable display is a win, the movable piece of the start port 25 is temporarily controlled to be in an open state, and a state in which the game ball is easy to win is generated.

  The display device control board 110 performs a function of executing variable display by the variable display device 24 based on the control data received from the main board 100.

  The payout control board 120 controls the operation of paying out game balls based on the award game ball data received from the main board 100 and the operation of paying out loan game balls based on an instruction from the card unit 10b. .

  The lamp control board 130 functions to control lighting of the gaming machine status lamp and decoration lamp based on control data from the main board 100 and lighting instructions.

  The sound control board 140 performs output control of effect sound and sound for production based on the control data sent from the main board 100. In addition, a warning sound or the like for notifying an abnormal state is controlled.

  The launch control board 150 has a function of controlling the launch of a launch motor that launches a game ball to the game board 12 based on the operation of the handle 15.

  The power supply board 160 fulfills a function of supplying power of a voltage corresponding to each control board and other electrical components.

  The sensor control board 170 recognizes the direction in which the game ball has collided with the nail 22 from the detection result of the game ball sensor 40, predicts the future course of the game ball, and displays a display based on the prediction on the course display 36 and the expectation. The function performed for the degree display unit 60 is achieved.

  FIG. 8 shows the configuration of the sensor control board 170. The sensor control board 170 includes a CPU 171, a clock oscillator 172, a decoder circuit 173, and waveform shaping circuits 174 a and 174 b. The waveform shaping circuits 174a and 174b are circuits for inputting the game ball detection signals 49a to 49l from the respective electrodes 42a to 42l of the game ball sensor 40 and shaping the waveforms.

  Here, game ball detection signals 49a to 49f corresponding to the electrodes 42a to 42f are input to the waveform shaping circuit 174a, and game ball detection signals 49g to 49l corresponding to the electrodes 42g to 42l are input to the waveform shaping circuit 174b. Yes.

  The output of the waveform shaping circuits 174a and 174b is input to the CPU 171 via the data bus. The decoder circuit 173 decodes the address signal output from the CPU 171 and generates selection signals for the waveform shaping circuits 174a and 174b. Only the waveform shaping circuit selected by this signal outputs the sphere detection signal after waveform shaping to the data bus. The CPU 171 is connected to the LEDs of the route indicators 36 a to 36 d and the LEDs 61 to 67 constituting the expectation degree display unit 60.

  The CPU 171 determines the collision of the game ball to the nail 22 of the game ball sensor 40 depending on which one of the plurality of game ball detection signals 49a to 49l input from the game ball sensor 40 is turned on (on at a low level). Recognize the collision direction. For example, when the game ball A collides with the nail 22 from the directions of D1, D2, and D3 in FIG. 9, the game ball A conducts between the nail 22 and the electrode 42e, and a game ball detection signal 49e corresponding to the electrode 42e. Is output. It is known from experiments that the game ball A colliding with the nail 22 from the direction D1 flies in the direction R1, and the game ball A colliding with the nail 22 from the directions D2 and D3 takes a course in the direction R2. Therefore, when the game ball detection signal 49e corresponding to the electrode 42e is input from the game ball sensor 40, the CPU 171 determines that the game ball related to the collision flies in the direction R1 or the direction R2. .

  Similarly, when the game ball A collides with the nail 22 from various directions, the relationship between which electrode 42a to 42l conducts and the direction in which the game ball A flies after the collision is examined in advance, and each electrode 42a. The correspondence table showing the correspondence between .about.421 (or game ball detection signals 49a to 49l) and the flight direction is created and registered in the CPU 171. FIG.

  FIG. 10 shows the flow of processing performed by the CPU 171 of the sensor control board 170. When the game ball detection signal 49 is input from the game ball sensor 40 (step S201; Y), the CPU 171 flies the game ball according to which electrode 42a to 42l the game ball detection signal 49 corresponds to. The direction is determined with reference to the previous correspondence table (step S202). Then, the route indicator 36 corresponding to the determination result is turned on for a predetermined time (step S203), and the expectation display unit 60 is turned on according to the determination result (step S204). For example, if the correspondence relationship between each electrode 42a to 42l and the course indicator 36 to be lit and the correspondence relationship between each electrode 42a to 42l and the lighting mode of the expectation degree display unit 60 are registered in the correspondence table in advance, the CPU 171 With reference to this, the lighting position of the course indicator 36 and the lighting mode of the expectation degree display unit 60 can be determined.

  In this way, the game ball sensor 40 is provided to detect the direction in which the game ball collides against an obstacle such as the nail 22, so that the path of the game ball after the collision is guided to the player based on the detection result. It is possible to display the level of the probability that the game ball after the collision will win a specific winning opening such as the start opening 25. Thereby, even a beginner can easily recognize the course of the game ball, and the fatigue for following the movement of the game ball can be reduced and the game can be fully enjoyed.

  Further, since the collision of the game ball is detected by the conduction between the electrode 22 on the obstacle (nail 22) side and the electrode 42 provided on the game board surface in the vicinity thereof, the game ball is different from the case where it is detected by a vibration sensor or a shock sensor. Does not falsely detect vibrations when moving the game board 12. Further, since the detection is performed by the conduction between the electrodes, even if the nail is adjusted with a hammer, the game ball sensor 40 is not damaged by the impact. As a result, unlike the case of using a vibration sensor or a shock sensor, it is not necessary to remove the sensor once before the nail adjustment, and the nail adjustment work can be performed efficiently.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to that shown in the embodiment, and there are changes and additions within the scope of the present invention. Are also included in the present invention.

  For example, in the embodiment, the collision direction to the nail is detected, but the collision direction to another obstacle may be detected. For example, a pair of electrodes may be disposed on the side wall of the center case 35 and the surrounding game board surface to detect the collision direction of the game ball on the center case 35.

  In the embodiment, the game ball sensor 40 is provided at only one place, but may be provided at a plurality of places on the game board 12. In this case, not only the path of the game ball is determined from the detection result of each game ball sensor, but also the game ball from the timing relationship in which the collision is detected by the plurality of game ball sensors 40 and the mutual relationship of the direction in which the collision is detected. It is preferable to predict and display the course after the collision and the level of the winning probability to the start port 25 in more detail.

  In the embodiment, the nail 22 is a common electrode. However, for example, when the obstacle is a center case 35, the electrode on the obstacle side may be a different electrode.

  In the embodiment, the detection result of the game ball sensor 40 is used to indicate the future course display of the game ball and the level of the winning probability to the start opening 25. For example, the detection result is output to an external device. In this way, it can be used as reference data when a game machine manufacturer designs a nail arrangement.
