Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine disposed in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor.

  One of the gaming machines installed in the amusement hall is a pachinko machine. This pachinko machine is provided with a receiving tray for receiving pachinko balls as a game medium. The receiving tray is provided with a passage for guiding the pachinko ball to a launching device incorporated in the pachinko machine, and the pachinko ball received in the receiving tray is automatically passed through the passage to the launching device. Guided. Note that the pachinko ball guided to the launching device is launched by the launching device that is operated by the operation of the operation handle by the player, and is then played by the obstacle nail provided in the game region while being played. Flow down the area. Then, when winning a winning chucker provided in the game area, a starting chucker, or the like, a prize ball is paid out to the player on the receiving tray.

  For example, when the starter chucker wins, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to shift to the “hit” state, and when the lottery is won, the state shifts to the “hit” state. In this “hit” state, the normally closed attacker opens, and once the predetermined number of pachinko balls have won or a predetermined time has passed, the closing operation is performed once. Yes. In the “big hit” state, the attacker performs a predetermined number of operations up to a preset number of times with the above operation being performed once. This makes it easier for the pachinko balls flowing down the game area to win the attacker, so when shifting to the “big hit” state, more pachinko balls as prize balls are paid out to the receiving tray. As the pachinko balls are dispensed, the receiving tray becomes full of pachinko balls, and the pachinko balls to be dispensed become unacceptable by the receiving tray.

As a method for avoiding this state, the pachinko ball receiving tray is usually provided with a ball hole that is shielded by a shielding member such as a shutter. When the pachinko ball is full in the receiving pan, The operation button is slid or pressed to release the shielding of the ball hole by the shielding member, and the pachinko ball received in the receiving tray is discharged to the outside. When the pachinko sphere received in the receiving tray is discharged to the outside, a plurality of pachinko spheres received in the receiving tray may be held in a dome shape (so-called bridge arrangement) and are received in the receiving tray. In some cases, the pachinko balls cannot be discharged. As a method of solving this problem, for example, by providing a plurality of plate-like protrusions that protrude from the bottom surface of the receiving tray on the shielding member, and changing the arrangement relationship of the pachinko balls received by the receiving tray when the shielding member moves. It has been proposed to eliminate the bridge arrangement described above (for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2005-095488 A

  However, when the plate-like protrusion is provided on the shielding member, the pachinko ball can be moved after contacting the pachinko ball received in the receiving tray when the shielding member is moved. There is an advantage that it can be changed, but in the pachinko ball arrangement, if there is a contact point between the pachinko ball and the pachinko ball on the movement trajectory of the plate-like protrusion, the contact between the pachinko balls is once. There is a risk that the alignment of pachinko spheres may return to the original state after passing the protrusion only by separating the contact point, and the movement of the protrusion only necessarily changes the alignment of the pachinko sphere. Is hard to say.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and provides a gaming machine that can reliably eliminate the bridge arrangement caused by the pachinko balls received in the receiving tray. Objective.

  The gaming machine of the present invention includes a receiving tray in which a discharge port for discharging a received pachinko ball is formed, a lid member that moves between a position for closing the discharge port and a position for exposing the discharge port. Provided that the pachinko ball is discharged when the lid member is in a position where the discharge port is exposed, and the lid member receives the reception when moved to a position where the discharge port is exposed. A ball breaker for moving a pachinko ball received in a dish is provided, and the ball breaker has a thickness equal to or greater than the radius of one pachinko ball.

  In this case, the lid member is disposed above the bottom surface of the receiving tray, and the ball breaker portion is formed of a distal end surface in a moving direction when the lid member moves to a position at which the discharge port is exposed. It is characterized by.

  Further, a taper surface that is inclined downward toward the moving direction is formed at an upper end portion of the tip surface.

  In addition, a groove portion for allowing the game ball received in the receiving tray to pass therethrough is provided on the upper surface of the lid member along the moving direction of the lid member, and the groove portion is wider than one pachinko ball, It has a width narrower than two.

  Moreover, the said front end surface consists of a curved surface dented toward the center of the width direction of the said cover member, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  Further, as another form, the lid member is disposed below the bottom surface of the receiving tray, and the ball breaking portion is provided on the top surface of the lid member. It is characterized by comprising a protrusion projecting more than one radius.

  In this case, the protrusion has a width equal to or larger than the diameter of one pachinko ball.

  In addition, the protrusion has a tapered surface at an upper end portion of a distal end surface in a moving direction when the lid member moves to a position where the discharge port is exposed.

  According to the gaming machine of the present invention, a lid member that moves between a receiving tray in which a discharge port for discharging a received pachinko ball is formed, a position for closing the discharge port, and a position for exposing the discharge port. In the gaming machine in which the received pachinko ball is discharged when the lid member is in a position where the discharge port is exposed, the cover member is moved to a position where the discharge port is exposed, It comprises a ball breaker that moves the pachinko sphere received in the receiving tray, and the ball breaker has a thickness that is equal to or greater than the radius of one pachinko ball, so when discharging the pachinko ball, The ball breaking portion moves together with the lid member, so that the arrangement relationship of the pachinko balls received in the receiving tray can be reliably changed. Thereby, the bridge | bridging arrangement | sequence formed with the several pachinko sphere received by the receiving tray can be eliminated reliably.

  In this case, the lid member is disposed above the bottom surface of the receiving tray, and the ball breaker portion is composed of a distal end surface in the moving direction when the lid member moves to a position where the discharge port is exposed. Since the lowermost pachinko sphere received in the receiving dish is moved by the ball breaker, the bridge arrangement formed by the received pachinko sphere can be surely eliminated.

  In addition, since an upper end portion of the tip end surface is formed with a tapered surface that is inclined downward toward the moving direction, the upper surface of the lid member on which the pachinko sphere located above the lowermost end moves due to the arrangement of the pachinko spheres. As a result, the stacked pachinko balls are pushed upward, and as a result, the arrangement relationship of the pachinko balls can be changed.

  In addition, a groove portion for allowing the game ball received in the receiving tray to pass therethrough is provided on the upper surface of the lid member along the moving direction of the lid member, and the groove portion is wider than one pachinko ball, For example, when the bottom surface of the groove portion is inclined toward the opening by storing the pachinko ball that has no escape space by the moving lid member, for example, the groove portion The pachinko ball that has entered can be rolled toward the opening. In addition, it is possible to prevent clogging in the groove part in the process in which the pachinko sphere is received in the receiving dish.

  In this case, the distal end surface is formed of a curved surface that is recessed toward the center in the width direction of the lid member, so that the pachinko sphere pressed by the distal end surface is moved toward the center in the width direction of the lid member. Then, since it will guide to a groove part, a part of pachinko ball pressed by the front end surface can be rolled toward a discharge port.

  Further, as another form, the lid member is disposed below the bottom surface of the receiving tray, and the ball breaking portion is provided on the top surface of the lid member. Because it consists of protrusions that protrude more than one radius, the arrangement relationship of pachinko spheres received in the receiving dish can be changed reliably, so that the bridge arrangement formed by a plurality of paid-out pachinko spheres can be reliably It can be eliminated.

  In this case, since the protrusion has a width equal to or larger than the diameter of one pachinko sphere, the lowermost pachinko sphere received in the receiving tray is surely moved. The bridge arrangement formed by can be reliably eliminated.

  In addition, the protrusion has a tapered surface at the upper end of the distal end surface in the moving direction when the lid member moves to a position where the discharge port is exposed. When a certain pachinko ball rides on the upper surface of the moving lid member, the stacked pachinko balls are pushed upward, and as a result, the arrangement relationship of the pachinko balls can be changed.

  FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a pachinko machine using the present invention. This pachinko machine 2 is connected to a main body member 3 serving as a base via a hinge portion (not shown) so that two front doors 6 including an upper door 4 and a lower door 5 are rotatable with respect to the main body member 3. Assembled. An opening 4 a is provided at the center of the upper door 4, and the opening 4 a is shielded by a light-transmitting member such as glass attached to the back side of the upper door 4. When the upper door 4 is closed, the game balls that flow down the game area 6 and the structures provided in the game area 6 during the game are visually recognized through the glass that shields the opening 4a. . Reference numeral 8 denotes a fixing frame for fixing the main body member 3 to a game hall or the like. In the game area 6, in addition to a structure called a center accessory 10, winning devices such as a passing chucker 11, a starting chucker 12, a winning chucker 13, and an attacker 14 are provided. Since these structures and winning devices are well known, the details are omitted here.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the lower door 5 is provided with an operation handle 20, a receiving tray 21, and the like. The operation handle 20 is rotatably provided, for example, and when the operation handle 20 is rotated, a rotation volume (not shown) provided therein rotates, and the launch strength according to the rotation amount of the rotation volume. Then, the pachinko ball 50 (see FIG. 7) is launched.

  The receiving tray 21 is composed of two plates, an upper plate 22 and a lower plate 23. Among the receiving trays 21, the upper tray 21 is supplied with the pachinko balls 50 when starting the game, and the pachinko balls 50 flowing down the game area 6 are any of the winning devices provided in the game area 6. A pachinko ball 50 as a prize ball to be paid out in response to winning the crab is received. The upper plate 22 is provided for receiving a pachinko ball 50 paid out from the first payout outlet 24. The upper plate 22 rolls the pachinko ball 50 from the first payout outlet 24 in the direction A in FIG. 2, and then changes the rolling direction from the direction A in FIG. 2 to the direction B in FIG. As a result, the pachinko ball 50 is fed into a launching device (not shown). A feeding passage 25 communicates with the upper plate 22, and the pachinko balls 50 are aligned in a row in the process of being guided through the inside of the feeding passage 25. Reference numeral 26 denotes a partition plate that prevents the pachinko ball 50 paid out from the first payout outlet 24 from rolling directly into the feed passage 25.

  The lower plate 23 is provided to receive the pachinko balls 50 to be paid out after that when the upper plate 22 is filled with the pachinko balls 50. A pachinko ball 50 is paid out to the lower plate 23 via the second payout outlet 27. The lower plate 23 is provided with an opening (discharge port) 28 for discharging the pachinko balls 50 to be received to the outside (see FIG. 4). The opening 28 is normally shielded by a slide lid 40 described later, and the opening 28 is exposed, whereby a plurality of pachinko balls 50 can be discharged simultaneously.

  A discharge operation button 35 that is operated when discharging the pachinko balls 50 received in the lower plate 23 is provided on the front surface of the lower plate 23. The discharge operation button 35 is held at the position shown in FIG. 3, and can be moved to the position shown in FIG. 4, for example, by sliding in the direction D in FIG. When the discharge operation button 35 is operated to the position shown in FIG. 4, the opening 28 of the lower plate 23 is exposed, and the pachinko balls 50 received in the lower plate 23 can be discharged. Although details will be described later, when the hand or finger is released from the eject operation button 35, the spring 52 described later moves in the direction E in FIG. Reference numeral 36 denotes a guide hole provided to restrict the sliding direction of the discharge operation button 35.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the slide lid (lid member) 40 has a substantially L shape. The slide lid 40 includes a lid portion 41 that shields the opening 28, an operation portion 42 provided with operation buttons 35, and a connecting portion 43 that connects the lid portion 41 and the operation portion 42.

  As shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, the lid portion 41 is formed in a substantially U shape. The 1st shielding board 45 arrange | positioned at the upper part of this cover part 41 is arrange | positioned above the bottom plate 23a of the lower plate 23 (refer FIG. 8). The width S of the first shielding plate 45 is formed to be substantially the same as the width of the opening 28. The side surface 45 a which is the tip of the first shielding plate 45 presses the pachinko ball 50 received in the lower plate 23. Hereinafter, the side surface 45a will be referred to as a pressing surface (ball breaking portion) 45a. The thickness T of the pressing surface 45a is greater than or equal to the radius r of one pachinko ball 50. The thickness T of the pressing surface 45a is more preferably not less than the radius r of one pachinko sphere 50 and not more than the diameter 2r of two pachinko spheres. A tapered surface 45 c is formed between the pressing surface 45 a and the upper surface 45 b of the first shielding plate 45. The tapered surface 45c is provided to facilitate the pachinko ball 50 that is not in contact with the bottom surface 23a of the lower plate 23 on the upper surface 45b of the first shielding plate 45 when the slide lid 40 moves.

  The second shielding plate 46 is disposed below the first shielding plate 45 and with a predetermined interval U therebetween. The second shielding plate 46 is provided to regulate the moving direction when the slide lid 40 is moved. The predetermined interval is an interval equal to or greater than the thickness V of the bottom plate 23a of the lower plate 23. The bottom plate 23 a of the lower plate 23 is inserted into the groove portion 47 provided between the first shielding plate 45 and the second shielding plate 46.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When a player plays a game with the pachinko machine 2, when the pachinko ball 50 is supplied to the upper plate 22 and the operation handle 20 is operated, the launch of the pachinko ball 50 is started. The hit pachinko ball 50 flows down in the game area 6 from above the game area 6. At the time of this flow down, the inside of the game area 6 is changed while changing the flow down direction by being bounced by a obstacle nail provided in the game area 6, a windmill, or abutting against the side wall surface of the center accessory 10. It will fall. When the game area 6 flows down, if a winning device is won, a payout device (not shown) is driven and the pachinko balls 50 are paid out for the winning. Of the winning devices, when the starting chucker 12 is won, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to shift to the big hit state. In accordance with the lottery, the symbol display device 51 displays, for example, a lottery result after a symbol change display or a notification display.

  For example, when the lottery result is a win, the same symbol is stopped and displayed on the symbol display device 51, for example, “7-7-7”. When this display is performed, the gaming state shifts from the normal state to the “big hit” state. When the “big hit” state is reached, the attacker 14 is opened, and a prize can be awarded to a big prize opening (not shown) provided in the back of the attacker 14. If, for example, 10 pachinko balls 50 win a prize or if, for example, 30 seconds elapse after the attacker 14 is released, the attacker 14 is closed. If this operation is one round and ten pachinko balls 50 win in one round, the attacker 14 is released again. In the “hit” state, the above-mentioned one round is performed at most 15 times, and then the “hit” state ends.

  In the “hit” state, it is easy to obtain a winning by opening the attacker 14, so in the “hit” state, a large number of pachinko balls 50 are paid out by winning. The pachinko balls 50 to be paid out by winning are paid out toward the upper plate 22, but in the game in the “hit” state, more pachinko balls 50 are paid out and launched than in the normal state. Since there are more pachinko balls 50 to be paid out than the pachinko balls 50, the upper plate 22 is filled with the pachinko balls 50 to be paid out. When the upper plate 22 is filled with the pachinko balls 50, the pachinko balls 50 to be paid out are paid out toward the lower plate 23. Since the game is being performed during this time, the pachinko ball 50 is paid out based on the winning. As a result, the pachinko balls 50 that have been paid out to the lower plate 23 are also full.

  When the paid-out pachinko balls 50 fill the lower plate 23, the player needs to discharge the pachinko balls 50 received in the lower plate 23, for example, into a storage box installed in a pachinko store. The player places the storage box below the lower plate 23 and slides the discharge operation button 35 in the direction F in FIG. Since the discharge operation button 35 is provided integrally with the slide lid 40, when the discharge operation button 35 is operated, the slide lid 40 slides in the direction G in FIG. When the slide lid 40 slides, the first shielding plate 45 moves along the upper surface 23 b of the bottom plate 23 a of the lower plate 23.

  As described above, the height T of the pressing surface 45a of the first shielding plate 45 has a width equal to or larger than the radius r of the pachinko ball 50. Therefore, when the slide lid moves in the G direction in FIG. The pachinko ball 50 at the lowermost end received by the head 23 is surely pressed. In addition, depending on the arrangement of the pachinko balls 50, there is the pachinko ball 50 stacked above the lowermost pachinko ball 50, so the upper surface 45 b of the first shielding plate 45 via the tapered surface 45 c of the first shielding plate 45. Will ride on. Thus, even if a bridge array is formed by a plurality of pachinko spheres 50, for example, the arrangement of the pachinko spheres 50 received by the lower plate 23 by the slide of the slide lid 40 is changed reliably, so that the bridge array is changed. It can be solved. Reference numeral 56 denotes a holding plate for preventing backlash when the slide lid 40 slides.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the bottom surface 47 a of the groove 47 of the lid portion 41 of the slide lid 40 and the side wall surface 28 a of the opening 28 are brought into contact with each other by the slide operation of the discharge operation button 35, The slide is stopped. At this time, since the opening 28 is exposed, the pachinko balls 50 received in the lower plate 23 are discharged to the storage box through the opening 28. When most of the pachinko balls 50 received in the lower plate 23 are discharged to the storage box, the player releases his / her hand or finger from the discharge operation button 35. One end of a spring 52 urged in the G direction in FIG. 10 is connected to the slide lid 40, and the slide lid 40 moves in the H direction in FIG. When the side wall surface 28b of the opening 28 comes into contact with the wall surface 40a, the opening 28 is shielded (see FIG. 8).

  In the present embodiment, the relationship between the pressing surface 45a and the upper surface 45b of the first shielding plate 45 is not described, but the pressing surface 45a and the upper surface 45b of the first shielding plate 45 are orthogonal to each other, or the pressing surface 45a. It is also possible to form a sloped surface that is more gently sloped than the tapered surface 45b. Although details are not shown, for example, when the pressing surface 45a is formed of an inclined surface that is more gently inclined than the tapered surface 45c, the pachinko ball pressed by the pressing surface 45a is easily pushed up toward the tapered surface 45c. Therefore, the pachinko ball can be easily placed on the upper surface of the first shielding plate.

  In the present embodiment, the lower plate has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the present embodiment can be used for the upper plate. Moreover, this embodiment can be used not only in a pachinko machine having two receiving trays, an upper plate and a lower plate, but also in a pachinko machine having one receiving tray.

  In the present embodiment, the first shielding plate 45 is formed in a plate shape, but it is not necessary to be limited to this, and a groove along the sliding direction of the slide lid is provided on the upper surface of the first shielding plate and enters the groove. It is also possible to roll the pachinko ball toward the opening. As shown in FIG. 11, a groove 62 is provided on the upper surface of the first shielding plate 61 along the sliding direction of the slide lid 60. In this case, for example, by setting the width X of the groove 62 to be wider than the diameter Y of one pachinko ball and narrower than the diameter 2Y of two game balls, the pachinko ball 63 is blocked in the groove 62. Thus, when the slide lid 60 slides in the M direction in FIG. 11, the pachinko ball 63 can roll toward the opening 64 (in the N direction in FIG. 11). Furthermore, by making the bottom surface 62a of the groove portion 62 into an inclined surface that is inclined downward toward the opening 64, the pachinko ball 63 that has entered the groove portion 62 when the slide lid 60 slides is reliably rolled toward the opening 64. be able to.

  In this case, for example, the front end surfaces 61 a and 61 b of the first shielding plate 61 may be curved surfaces that are recessed toward the center of the first shielding plate 61 in the width direction. In this case, since the pachinko sphere pressed by the front end surfaces 61a and 61b of the first shielding plate 61 can be guided toward the groove 62, the pressed pachinko sphere can be rolled toward the opening. .

  In the present embodiment, the shape of the lid portion 41 of the slide lid 40 is substantially U-shaped, and the first shielding plate 45 of the lid portion 41 is disposed above the bottom plate of the receiving tray. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to dispose the lid part below the bottom plate of the lower dish and project the protrusion provided on the upper surface of the lid part above the bottom plate of the lower dish. In this case, as shown in FIG. 12, a protrusion 72 is provided on the upper surface 71 a of the lid portion 71 of the slide lid 70. The height P of the front end surface (hereinafter referred to as a pressing surface) 72 a in the sliding direction of the protrusion 72 is protruded higher than the radius r of the pachinko ball 77 from the bottom plate 73 a of the lower plate 73. Further, the width Q of the protrusion is configured to be wider than the diameter Y of the pachinko sphere 77. The shape of the protrusion 72 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 12, and the height P of the pressing surface 72 a and the width Q of the pressing surface 72 a may be formed wider than the radius r of the pachinko sphere 77. I shall do it.

  The lid portion 71 of the slide lid 70 is formed to be larger than the protrusion 72, and when the slide lid 70 is in the closed position, the opening 75 of the lower plate 73 and the cut provided continuously to the opening 75 are provided. The notch 76 is shielded and the fall of the pachinko ball 77 entering the notch 76 is prevented. Also in this case, when the slide lid 70 slides in the K direction in FIG. 12, the pachinko balls 77 stored in the lower plate 73 are pressed by the pressing surface 72a of the protrusion 72, and the arrangement relationship of the pachinko balls 77 changes. Even when the pachinko balls 77 stored in the lower plate 73 are in a bridge arrangement, the bridge arrangement can be reliably eliminated. Further, by providing a tapered surface 72c between the upper surface 72b of the protrusion 72 and the pressing surface 72a, when the pachinko ball 77 stored in the lower plate 73 is not at the lowest point, the pachinko ball 77 is projected. By riding on the upper surface 72b of the body 72, the arrangement relationship of the pachinko balls 77 can be changed.
