  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the start winning port 15 is provided with a ball passage port 22 through which a game ball can pass through a substrate 21 attached to the surface of the game board 4, and a ball receiving member into which a game ball enters below. 23 is rotatably supported by a rotation shaft, and a rotation range is restricted by a rotation restricting means. The ball receiving member 23 is provided with a receiving opening 25 for receiving a game ball and is provided with a guide path 26 for guiding the game ball rearward. In the embodiment, the guide path 26 is used as a rotation axis. That is, the rotation axis is larger than the diameter of the game ball so that the game ball passes through the rotation axis.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the ball receiving member 23 includes a front frame 27 and a rear plate 28. The front frame 27 is provided with a receiving opening 25 having a U-shaped cross section and a bottomed entering ball path 32. On both sides, a ball support portion 29 that supports a game ball from the ball passage port 22 when the ball receiving member 23 swings is provided in an arc shape with the rotation axis (guidance path 26) as the center, and below the game area A ball abutting portion 30 with which a game ball flowing down 4a abuts is provided so as to expand toward the bottom. Further, a weight portion 31 is provided below the rotating shaft so as to set the center of gravity so that the receiving opening 25 is positioned below the ball passage opening 22 under normal conditions. At this time, the receiving opening 25 is positioned so as to return to a posture for receiving the game ball falling from the ball passing port 22. The rear plate 28 has a cylindrical ball guide path 26 communicating with the bottomed ball path 32 and a pin-shaped restricting projection 33 protruding rearward as a rotation restricting means for restricting the rotation range of the ball receiving member 23. Is provided. Then, the front frame 27 is screwed onto the mounting boss 34 of the rear plate 28, and a seal 35 having a decorative effect is attached to the front surface of the front frame 27 so as to conceal this screw, and the ball receiving member 23 is assembled.

Further, a bearing housing 37 penetrating in the front-rear direction is provided on the back surface of the substrate 21, and the ball bearing 24 is mounted in the inner peripheral region of the bearing housing 37 without any gap. The cylindrical ball guide path 26 is inserted and fitted into the inner ring of the bearing 24, and the restricting projection 33 is loosely inserted into the guide groove 36 so that the ball receiving member 23 is a substrate with the ball guide path 26 as a rotation axis. The start winning opening 15 is assembled by being rotatably mounted on the valve 21. Therefore, the ball receiving member 23 smoothly swings within a predetermined range by the contact of the game ball. At this time, the ball receiving member 23 restricts the reciprocating rotation by the rotation restricting means so that the game ball can be received at least within a range in which the receiving opening 25 is directed upward from the horizontal axis. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a detection sensor 38 is provided that is located behind the guide path 26 and detects a game ball. The start winning opening 15 is provided in the through hole 4b that penetrates the game board 4 and is normally in a state in which the receiving opening 25 is positioned below the ball passage opening 22 and can receive a game ball as shown by the solid line in FIG. When the game ball hits the ball contact portion 30 or the like during the game, the ball receiving member 23 swings as shown by the chain line in FIG. 8 so that the game ball can enter even outside the ball passage opening 22. . As described above, since the receiving opening 25 is not always determined at a predetermined tilt position, the player can enjoy a game with changes, and also enters the ball passage opening 22 and is supported by the ball support portion 29 and waits. Since the game ball that has been played always enters the receiving opening 25 when the ball receiving member 23 moves backward, the chance of winning a prize increases by swinging the ball receiving member 23, and the player's interest is further increased.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the symbol display device 13 flows down the mounting frame 41 in which a concave chamber 40 is formed in the center, a display 42a that displays a plurality of symbols in a variable manner, and the game board 4 surface. As an accessory that changes the flow of the game ball, it is generally configured by an annular rotator 43 that rotates around the display 42a. The display 42a is a 7-segment LED in the present embodiment, and a lens for enlarging a symbol is provided on the front surface of the display 42a, and a circular display unit 42 capable of displaying numbers, alphabets, symbols and the like as the symbol is provided. It is composed. The image display on the display 42a is controlled by the effect control device, and the effect control device is a sound / lamp control device that performs the sound effect by the speaker and the light effect by the decoration lamp / LED, etc., and the display of the display device 42a. It is separated from the display control device that performs control. In the embodiment, the display 42a is a segment display, but it may be a matrix display, a liquid crystal display, an EL (electroluminescence) display, or the like. Further, the shape of the display unit 42 is preferably a circle, but is not limited to a circle and may be a square or a polygon.

  The rotating body 43 is formed in a substantially circular annular shape with a window hole 44 having a diameter larger than that of the display portion 42 at a substantially central position, and a cylindrical portion 54 serving as a rotating shaft via a connecting piece 58 at an eccentric position. Are provided so as to intersect the game board 4 surface substantially perpendicularly and to rotate around the display 42a in a plane parallel to the game board 4 surface about a horizontal axis. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, eight magnets 46 having an attractive force (magnetic force) superior to the weight of the game ball are arranged at equal intervals on the rear surface of the annular plate portion. It is attracted to the magnet 46 through the annular plate portion of the rotating body 43. Further, the front surface of the annular plate portion of the rotating body 43 is decorated with a decorative seal or coloring so that the rear side cannot be seen through, and the player cannot visually recognize the magnet 46. For this reason, the player does not know the arrangement of the magnets 46 and can make the game unexpected. In the embodiment, the magnets 46 are provided at equal intervals. However, the magnets 46 may be randomly arranged on the rotating body 43 to enhance the interest by further surprise.

  Further, the mounting frame 41 is formed with a circular concave chamber 40 with the front opened at the center, covers the substantially upper half of the outer periphery of the concave chamber 40 and protrudes forward into the game area 4a and is provided with a flange 49. . The collar unit 49 prevents the game ball from entering the display unit 42 from the upper side of the symbol display device 13 to ensure the visibility of the display 42a and restricts the contact of the game ball to the rotating body 43. I am doing so. In addition, a guide shelf 50 as guide means for guiding the game ball toward the magnet 46 is provided below the end portion of the collar portion 49. The induction shelf 50 is set so as to be gently inclined inward and slightly inclined also toward the concave chamber 40, and the game ball is guided toward the magnet 46 of the rotating body 43 by the induction shelf 50. The A storage indicator 52 that displays the reserved balls that have entered the start winning opening 15 within four ranges is provided at the upper part of the plate-like part, and the magnet 46 is faced to the front of the rotating body 43 at the lower part. There is provided a restricting means for contacting the attracted game ball to prevent the ball from being held by the attracting force of the magnet 46 and releasing the game ball. In this embodiment, the restricting means is a rib wall 51 that faces the front surface of the rotating body 43, and is provided so as to face the virtual core trajectory of the game ball attracted by the magnet 46, and the rib wall 51 prevents the game ball from passing therethrough. In this way, the game ball is surely released from the attractive force of the magnet 46 and separated. The restricting means may be decorated as a three-dimensional object such as a character, or may be provided in a passage shape so as to be surely guided to the start winning opening 15. In addition, a support portion 53 that supports the center of the display 42 a is provided in a short cylindrical shape at a central portion that becomes the bottom (rear surface portion) of the concave chamber 40, and the short cylindrical support portion 53 is rotated around the rotating body 43. In addition to the moving shaft, the support portion 53 is provided so as to pass through the wiring H of the indicator 42a for processing. As described above, by supporting the center of the display 42a, a gap is formed between the bottom (rear surface) of the concave chamber 40, and the heat generated by the display 42a can be effectively exhausted. ing. In addition, the rear surface of the concave chamber 40 is provided with an LED 60 as a light emitting means in an annular shape with a predetermined interval, and is configured to irradiate light forward through a through hole. The LED 60 is connected to a light emission control circuit to control light emission. The light emitting means may be provided around the inner peripheral surface of the concave chamber 40 or the outer periphery of the display unit 42 to irradiate the concave chamber 40. Further, a motor 55 is provided as a driving means for rotating the rotating body 43 on the rear surface of the concave chamber 40, and a drive gear 56 is fixedly provided on a motor shaft 55 a facing the concave chamber 40 through the through hole 39. Yes. At this time, it is preferable that the drive gear 56 is provided behind the display unit 42 so that it cannot be seen from the front. A driven gear 57 meshing with the drive gear 56 is provided on the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 54, and the rotating portion 43 is driven by the motor 55 by driving the motor 55 by fitting the cylindrical portion 54 to the short cylindrical support portion 53. The short cylindrical support portion 53 is rotated as a rotation axis. At this time, it is preferable that the cylindrical portion 54 is provided on the support portion 53 via a bearing so that the rotating body 43 rotates smoothly.

  In the symbol display device 13 configured as described above, the motor 55 and the drive gear 56 are mounted on the mounting frame 41 provided with the light emitting means, and the driven gear 57 is driven in the concave chamber 40 of the mounting frame 41 as shown in FIG. The rotating body 43 is mounted so as to mesh with the gear 56, and the indicator 42a is supported and fixed to the support portion 53, so that the annular rotating body 43 faces the indicator 42a from the window hole 44 and surrounds the display portion 42. So as to be rotatable. Accordingly, the player can play the game while visually recognizing the game ball that is attracted to the flat annular plate portion by the magnet 46 and moves around the display portion 42. In this embodiment, by providing the rotational center of the rotating body 43 eccentrically, a substantially crescent-shaped gap is formed between the rotating body 43 and the inner peripheral edge of the concave chamber 40 and between the outer peripheral edge of the display unit 42. Then, the rotator 43 rotates as if it rotates on the axis of rotation. For this reason, the positional relationship with the rib wall 51 is different for each magnet 46 provided on the rotating body 43, and the contact position with the game ball attracted to the magnet 46 is different. Therefore, since the timing at which the game ball is released from the attracting force of the magnet 46 and is detached from the rotating body 43 slightly changes, the winning rate to the start winning opening 15 also changes. The restricting means is not limited to those fixedly provided as in the embodiment. For example, even if the rib wall 51 is provided movably at regular or irregular intervals by a drive source such as a motor or a solenoid, The rib wall 51 itself may be made flexible, and the timing at which the game ball is detached from the magnet 46 can be slightly changed.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine will be described. In the normal state, the rotating body 43 rotates clockwise at a constant speed, and the magnet 46 rotates around the display unit 42 at a constant interval. When the game ball driven into the game area 4a is attracted to the magnet 46 through the guide shelf 50 in a timely manner, the game ball is rotated by the rotating body 43 as shown in FIGS. Move with it. At this time, since the rotating body 43 rotates eccentrically and blocks the light radiated in the concave chamber 40 by the light emitting means, the substantially crescent-shaped gap formed between the rotating body 43 and the inner peripheral edge of the concave chamber 40 is used. The visible light appears to move as well as the eyelids, and the decorativeness can be improved. Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (d), when the magnet 46 attracting the game ball is rotated to the lowermost end and the game ball comes into contact with the rib wall 51, the game ball becomes a magnet as the rotating body 43 rotates. It is released from the suction force, is released from the rotating body 43 and is discharged toward the start winning opening 15. When the released game ball passes through the ball passage opening 22 and wins the ball receiving member 23, the game ball winning is detected by the detection sensor 38 through the cylindrical ball guide path 26, and on the back surface of the game board 4. It is discharged as a winning ball, and a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out to a player from a ball payout device (not shown). When the winning ball is detected, the symbol display on the display unit 42 fluctuates. When a predetermined symbol such as “777” is stopped and displayed on the display unit 42, a “hit” is made, and the variable winning device 16 is advantageous to the player. Open to the state, you can win a lot of prize balls at once. Further, when the game ball is released from the ball receiving member 46 toward the start winning opening 15, the game ball flowing down the game area 4a comes into contact with the ball contact portion 30, and the ball receiving member 23 is shown by a chain line in FIG. When the opening end of the receiving opening 25 moves outward from the ball passage opening 22 and can receive a game ball outside the ball passage opening 22, the ball has entered the ball passage opening 22. The game ball stands by while being supported by the ball support portion 29. When the ball receiving member 23 returns due to its own weight and the receiving opening 25 is positioned below the ball passing port 22, the game ball enters the receiving opening 25, is detected by the detection sensor 38 through the guide path 26, and wins a prize. Treated as a sphere.

  Further, when the number of reserved balls that have been won at the start winning opening 15 becomes four and the held ball indicator 52 is fully lit, the winning balls that have been won thereafter are only processed as winning balls, but the magnet 46 of the rotating body 43 is used. Since the game ball attracted in a timely manner moves around the display unit 42, the retained ball is digested when it is released from the attracting force of the magnet 46 by contacting the rib wall 51 and leaves the rotating body 43, There is a possibility of entering the starting prize opening 15 as a holding ball. For this reason, even if the reserved ball is full, the game ball attracted to the magnet 46 of the rotating body 43 is likely to be the fifth and sixth reserved balls, and there is no waste for the player. Moreover, it is possible to fully enjoy the original fun of pachinko gaming, which enjoys the movement of the game ball. Further, since the guide shelves 50 are provided at a plurality of locations (two locations in the figure), the chance of being attracted to the magnets 46 is increased, and the game balls are placed on the plurality of magnets 46 as shown in FIGS. May be adsorbed. Note that the rotating body 43 is not necessarily rotated at a constant speed, and the predetermined section may be changed by rotating at a low speed so that the game ball is easily attracted. At this time, it is preferable to provide detection means such as a sensor for detecting a predetermined position of the rotating body 43 and to make the motor 55 a stepping motor that can easily control rotation. As the detection means, for example, an optical sensor having a pair of detection arm portions is provided on the mounting frame 41 located in a section where the rotation speed is low, and a baffle piece that passes between the detection arm portions is provided on the rotating body 43. Rotation control may be performed so that the speed of the rotating body 43 is reduced when the baffle piece passes through one sensor and returns to the original speed when the other sensor passes.

  As described above, when the game ball is attracted to the magnet 46 through the annular plate portion, the player can visually recognize the game ball moving around the display unit 42, so that the interest in the game is improved and the game is played. I can enjoy it. At the same time, the game ball attracted by the magnet 46 becomes a reserve ball that is highly likely to win the start winning opening 15, so that even if the holding ball is full, the expectation for winning increases and the player Can enjoy the game without stopping. Further, by providing the rotating body 43 in an eccentric manner, the contact position of the game ball with the regulating means changes, and the timing at which the game ball is released from the attracting force of the magnet 46 and is detached from the rotating body 43 is delicate for each magnet 46. Because it changes, it can increase the interest of the player. Further, the restricting means is provided movably between a position that interferes with the game ball attracted by the magnet 46 and a non-interfering position. When the holding ball is full, the restricting means is moved to the non-interfering position to play the game ball. When the game balls are attracted to the rotating body 43 without interfering with the rotating balls 43, the rotating balls 43 pass and rotate. The sucked game ball may be discharged toward the start winning opening 15 so as to reliably eliminate the useless ball.

  In addition, since the start winning opening 15 is provided so as to be able to swing, a game in which the receiving opening 25 is not fixed at a predetermined inclination position and changes due to the game ball hitting the ball abutting portion 30 of the starting winning opening 15 during the game. Enjoy it. In addition, the game ball can be received from the outside of the ball passage port 22 when the start winning port 15 is swung, and the game ball that has entered the ball passage port 22 is supported by the ball support portion 29 and the ball receiving member 23. The ball always enters the receiving opening 25 when returning. Thus, since the chances for winning a prize increase, it is possible to give the player a very satisfying feeling, and the interest of the game is further increased.

  In the embodiment, the outer shape of the rotator 43 is substantially circular. However, the outer shape is not limited, and can be changed to an ellipse, a polygon such as a substantially triangle, a star shape, a character, and the like. Gaps between the body 43 and the inner peripheral edge of the recessed chamber 40 are also formed at a plurality of locations, and the player's interest is improved in appearance. At this time, the magnet 46 provided on the rotating body 43 is naturally provided in a positional relationship with the restricting means such as the rib wall 51. In the embodiment, the rotating body 43 is eccentrically rotated. However, as shown in FIG. 9, the rotating body 43 may be provided concentrically with respect to the display unit 42 and attracted to the magnet 46. Since the played game ball comes into contact with the restricting means in a substantially constant relationship, the timing at which the game ball is detached from the rotating body 43 is substantially constant, and stable release can be desired. At this time, since the rotating body 43 rotates in the concave chamber 40 uniformly, a gear is provided around the rotating body 43 with the center of the rotating body 43 as an axis without providing a rotating shaft, and the driving means such as the motor 55 is rotated. It may be provided outside the body 43. Further, by forming the rotator 43 with a transparent synthetic resin, the game ball adsorbed by the magnet 46 due to the illumination effect of the LED 60 provided on the mounting frame 41 is irradiated, and the decorative pattern is given by the light pattern due to the irregular reflection. improves. In particular, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 9, this becomes prominent in a state where a plurality of game balls are adsorbed to the rotating body 43. The magnet 46 is not limited to the embodiment, and may be a rod-like or planar magnet that can attract a plurality of game balls in size and shape, and the type of magnet is a rubber magnet or an electromagnet. May be. Furthermore, a surprising game can be enjoyed by providing the rotating body 43 with magnets 46 having different magnetic forces to change the attractive force. In particular, by using the magnet 46 as an electromagnet, the magnetic force may be controlled in relation to the gaming state by, for example, increasing the magnetic force in a high probability state.
