You can taste it.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, a game board 1 of a pachinko gaming machine as a gaming machine according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a front view of the game board 1.

  In FIG. 1, the game board 1 is formed in a substantially square shape, and an outer rail member 2 is fixed from one side of the front surface to the upper side, and the inner rail extends from the other side of the front surface to the lower side and one side. The member 3 is fixed. Between the outer rail member 2 and the inner rail member 3 on one side, a launch passage 4 is formed in which the fired ball flies. At the upper end of the inner rail member 3 that is the upper end portion of the launch passage 4, A backflow prevention member 5 is attached so that the sphere that has passed through the launch passage 4 does not return to the launch passage 4. The upper part of the inner rail member 3 is a substantially circular game area 6.

  At the center of the game area 6, a center decoration frame 7 is attached as a panel surface decoration that decorates the periphery of the large liquid crystal display 20. The center decoration frame 7 is provided with a sorting device 50 that constitutes a main part of the present embodiment. The center decorative frame 7 including the distribution device 50 will be described in detail later. The center decoration frame 7 occupies many areas of the game area 6, and the area where the ball falls after passing through the launch passage 4 is the upper left area and the left side area of the center decoration frame 7. It is the lower area. In these areas, a normal design gate 8, a starting port 9, a tulip-shaped electric starting port 10, a large winning port 11, a side ornament 12, a winning port 13 to 15, an out port 16, a windmill (no symbol) , And a number of obstruction nails (not labeled).

  More specifically, a normal symbol gate 8 through which a ball falling through the game region 6 passes is arranged in the left side region of the game region 6, and when the ball passes through the normal symbol gate 8, a center decorative frame The normal symbol display device 38 (for example, 7 segments) provided in 7 fluctuates to derive a display result. When the display result is “winning”, the tulip-type opening / closing blade piece of the electric start port 10 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds at normal time, 2 seconds at the time of probability change). In the lower area of the game area 6, a chucker type start port 9 and a tulip type electric start port 10 are provided on the same mounting board and attached to the surface of the game board 1. When a ball is won at the start port 9 or the electric start port 10, the design is displayed in a variable manner on the liquid crystal display 20, and an effect of displaying the result of the change display is performed. At the same time, the special symbol display device 37 (for example, 7 segments) provided in the center decorative frame 7 starts to change and derives the display result. In the case where the display result of the special symbol display device 37 is “big hit (changes the color or the like in the case of a promising big hit)”, the effect executed on the liquid crystal display 20 is also “big hit (probable big hit)”. This is done so that the player can understand the fact. When the display result of the special symbol display device 37 is “big hit”, the attacker-type big winning opening 11 provided below the electric start opening 10 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 25 seconds), and such opening is performed. Is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times). Further, when the display result of the special symbol display device 37 is “probable big hit”, the probability that the special symbol display device 37 will display “big hit” is increased until the next big hit occurs. The fluctuation time of the normal symbol display device 38 is shortened and the “hit” probability of the normal symbol display device 38 is set to be extremely high.

  In the game area 6, a side decoration 12 is provided along the inner rail member 3 on the lower left side of the game area 6 in addition to the above-described prize opening and device. Normal winning holes 13 to 15 are provided at the upper, middle and lower portions of the side decoration 12.

  Next, the structure of the center decorative frame 7 as the above-mentioned panel surface decoration will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the center decorative frame 7 as viewed from the front. In FIG. 2, the center decorative frame 7 is attached to the surface of the game board 1 so as to decorate the periphery of the liquid crystal display 20 as described above. For this reason, the center decorative frame 7 is attached to the surface of the game board 1. It has the mounting substrate 21 which contacts. An opening slightly smaller than the display surface of the liquid crystal display 20 is formed in the mounting substrate 21, and the decoration left frame member 27, the warp passage member 24, the sorting device 50, the decoration right are formed so as to cover the periphery of the opening. The frame member 32 and the stage member 28 are attached to the front surface of the attachment substrate 21. Then, the display surface of the liquid crystal display 20 is viewed from the front with the warp passage member 24, the decorative left frame member 27, the stage member 28, the sorting device 50, and the decorative right frame member 32 attached to the periphery of the opening of the mounting substrate 21. The display window 22 which can visually recognize is formed. A liquid crystal set plate 23 for storing the liquid crystal display 20 is disposed on the back surface of the center decorative frame 7. The liquid crystal set plate 23 is disposed on the back surface of the game board 1 with the center decorative frame 7 attached. To the center decoration frame 7 while being aligned.

  By the way, the decorative left frame member 27, the warp passage member 24, the sorting device 50, the decorative right frame member 32, and the stage member 28 attached to the front surface of the mounting substrate 21 will be described in detail. It is attached from the upper part of the substrate 21 to the lower left side, and prevents the ball that protrudes from the front surface of the attachment substrate 21 and rolls in the game area 6 from entering the display surface of the liquid crystal display 20. is there. The decorative left frame member 27 is provided with a lens or the like that is decorated by a light source such as an LED lamp that is fixed to the back side of the mounting substrate 21.

  On the other hand, the warp passage member 24 is attached from the upper center of the mounting substrate 21 to the upper right side, and a warp passage is formed therein, and the upstream end of the warp passage faces the substantially upper center of the mounting substrate 21. A warp inlet 25 is provided, and a downstream end of the warp passage is a warp outlet 26 facing a sorting device 50 described later. The warp inlet 25 is located on the front surface of the mounting board 21 and receives a ball rolling on the game area 6, but the warp passage is formed to bend from the opening of the mounting board 21 to the back side. Therefore, the warp outlet 26 is disposed at a position slightly on the back side (back side) of the mounting substrate 21.

  A distribution device 50 that distributes the spheres in at least two directions is arranged and fixed on the attachment substrate 21 on the downstream side of the warp outlet 26, and the decorative right frame member 32 is attached to the attachment substrate 21 from the outside of the distribution device 50 toward the bottom. It is fixed to. The distribution member 50 will be described in detail later. In addition, the decoration right frame member 32 accommodates an effect rotating body (not shown) that is rotationally driven when a predetermined condition is established in accordance with the effect executed by the liquid crystal display device 20 at a position below the distribution device 50. The effect rotating body accommodating portion 33 (formed in a lens shape so that the internal effect rotating body can be visually recognized) is formed, and the start port 36 is integrally formed below the effect rotating body accommodating portion 33. The special symbol display device 37 and the normal symbol display device 38 are attached. Further, in the decorative right frame member 32, a starting port guide passage 34 through which a ball distributed by a lower guide distribution surface 73b (to be described later) of the distribution device 50 passes along the inner periphery of the effect rotating body housing portion 33. The start port outlet 35 is formed at the end of the start port guide passage 34. The start port outlet 35 is formed near the start port 36 formed integrally with the decorative right frame member 32. For this reason, the balls distributed to the sorting device 50 and guided to the starting port guide passage 34 are almost certainly guided from the starting port outlet 35 to the starting port 36. However, as shown in FIG. 1, the mounting substrate 21 and the decorative right frame member 32 between the starting port outlet 35 and the starting port 36 are notched, so that the mounting substrate 21 is mounted on the surface of the game board 1. Occasionally, a failure nail (parallel life nail) can be planted on the game board 1 between the start opening 35 and the start opening 36, and the ball discharged from the start opening 35 by adjusting the failure nail. It is also possible to adjust the winning rate to the starting port 36.

  Further, the stage member 28 attached along the lower side of the opening of the attachment substrate 21 is formed with a predetermined depth width in the front-rear direction of the attachment substrate 21, and the first stage 29 extends in the horizontal direction on the back side. The center is formed in a high curved surface, and the first stage 29 and a step are provided on the front side, and the second stage 30 is formed in a high curved surface so that the second stage 30 extends in the horizontal direction. Guide recesses 29a and 29b are formed at the center and the left and right sides of the first stage 29 so that the balls can easily fall on the second stage 30, and the balls fall into the game area 6 at the center and the left and right sides of the second stage 30. Guiding recesses 30a and 30b are formed to facilitate the process. The guide recess 29a formed at the center of the first stage 29 and the guide recess 30a formed at the center of the second stage 30 are continuous, and the start port 9 is placed in the game area 6 below the guide recess 30a. Is arranged. Therefore, the ball that has been guided by the central guide recess 29a of the first stage 29 and the guide recess 30a in the center of the second stage 30 and dropped into the game area 6 is easy to win the starting port 9 positioned below. Even in this case, the winning rate can be adjusted to some extent by adjusting the obstacle nails planted above and to the left and right of the starting port 9. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the sphere guided to the first stage 29 is distributed to the discharge distribution surfaces 71 a to 73 a of the distribution device 50, which will be described in detail later, and from the stage outlet 31 through the stage guide passage 58. The sphere discharged from the stage outlet 31 falls on the second stage 30 from the guide recesses 29a, 29b and the like while rolling on the first stage 29 in the left-right direction, and further to the second stage 30. It rolls up and down in the left-right direction and eventually falls into the game area 6. In addition, in the center decorative frame 7 in the present embodiment, it is complicated that a ball rolling in the game area 6 mainly enters the second stage 30 from the lower part of the lower end of the decorative left frame member 27. Also in this case, it rolls on the second stage 30 in the left-right direction and finally falls to the game area 6.

  Among the distribution modes in the distribution device 50 described above, refer to FIG. 7 for the distribution mode by the guide projections 56 provided on the second guide surface 53 and the sort mode by the guide projections 57 provided on the third guide surface 54. Accordingly, since the guide protrusion 56 provided on the second guide surface 53 is formed slightly higher than the lowermost surface of the guide surface 53, the sphere rolling from the guide passage surface 53a is shown in FIG. As shown in B), the ratio of rebounding by colliding with the upper end of the inclined side of the guide projection 56 increases. The sphere repelled by the guide protrusion 56 is highly likely to be guided to the lower guide distribution surface 72b on the right side of the top protrusion 75 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, since the guide protrusion 57 provided on the third guide surface 54 is formed lower than the lowermost surface of the guide surface 54, the sphere rolling from the guide passage surface 54a is shown in FIG. As described above, the ratio of jumping over the upper end portion of the inclined side of the guide protrusion 57 increases. The sphere that has jumped over the guide protrusion 57 is more likely to be guided to the discharge distribution surface 73a on the left side of the top protrusion 76 as shown in FIG. That is, in the present embodiment, the distribution ratio can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the triangular guide protrusions 56 and 57 projecting from the guide surfaces 53 and 54 formed in a plurality of stages. .

  As mentioned above, although the distribution apparatus 50 which concerns on embodiment has been demonstrated, the distribution apparatus 50 which concerns on this embodiment is provided with the distribution surfaces 71-73 which have the top protrusions 74-76 and are formed in a mountain shape. Since the distribution member 70 and the guide passage member 51 that discharges the sphere to the distribution member 70 are provided overlapping in the front-rear direction, the top protrusions 74 to the top of the distribution surfaces 71 to 73 are provided. Even if the distance between 76 and the lower end of the guide surfaces 52 to 54, which is the downstream end of the guide passage member 51, is made smaller than the diameter of the sphere, the spheres protrude from the guide surfaces 52 to 54 to the top projections 74 of the distribution surfaces 71 to 73. Since it is discharged toward ˜76, the vertical dimension of the sorting device 50 can be suppressed, and this has the advantage that it can be easily incorporated into the center decorative frame 7 provided on the game board 6. The ball distribution function is performed not only by the top protrusions 74 to 76 of the distribution member 70 but also by the triangular guide protrusions 56 and 57 protruding from the guide surfaces 53 and 54 of the guide passage member 51. Since the top protrusions 75 and 76 having the distribution function and the triangular guide protrusions 56 and 57 are positioned on the same vertical line when viewed from the front, the player can easily recognize the distribution of the balls. There is an advantage that you can not.

  In addition, the distribution device 50 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of distribution surfaces 71 to 73 provided on the distribution member 70 and a plurality of guide surfaces 52 to 54 provided on the guide passage member 51, and an upper stage. By adjusting the height of the triangular guide projections 56 and 57 so that the guide rate to the lower guide surface is higher as the distribution surface is located at the position, the time that the sphere stays in the distribution device 50 becomes longer. Thus, the player can enjoy the pleasure of following the movement of the ball.

  In the above-described embodiment, the guide passage member 51 is assembled on the rear surface of the sorting member 70 in an overlapping manner. However, the guide passage member 51 may be assembled on the front surface of the sorting member 70. In this case, it is desirable to mold the guide passage member 51 with a transparent synthetic resin so that the player can visually recognize the movement of the ball.
