Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The gaming machine of the present embodiment is an application of the present invention to an encapsulated ball gaming machine as a pachinko gaming machine. For example, the gaming content can be the same as that of a conventional pachinko gaming machine. In addition, the size of the outer shape and the like is the same, and it can be installed in the current island facility of the pachinko parlor, but it does not use the ball supply mechanism or ball discharge mechanism of the island facility Yes. That is, the number of game balls based on data (number of rented balls) or the like input from a storage medium such as a card via a ball rental machine, etc. The game ball can be launched into the game area in correspondence with the data on the number of possessed balls, and when the game ball is launched, the data on the number of possessed balls is subtracted in accordance with the number of game balls launched. . In addition, when a game ball that has been launched wins a prize device such as various prize opening or a variable prize device and a prize ball (game ball) is generated, the actual number of balls held without paying out the actual game ball The number of prize balls is added to the data. Further, when the data on the number of possessed balls becomes 0, the game ball cannot be launched. In this state, when a numerical value (that is, the number of rented balls or the number of replayed balls) is added to the data of the number of balls based on the data of the amount stored in the storage medium such as a card or the data of the stored balls, again Game balls can be launched.
In addition, the game balls that have been launched reach the game area, and a part of them wins and is led to the back side of the game board and collected as safe balls, and the remaining game balls that are not won are collected as out balls. The collected game balls can be relaunched, and the game balls are circulated in the enclosed ball type gaming machine.
That is, the gaming machine of this embodiment launches the game ball at the launch position toward a game area formed on the front side of the game board, and wins a winning device in the game area to win the back side of the game board. The enclosed ball type gaming machine that collects each of the safe ball guided by the player and the out ball that does not win the prize-winning tool and fires it again in the game area.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the encapsulated ball game machine 100 of the present embodiment includes a machine frame 110 configured in a rectangular box shape and attached to an island facility of a game store. As described above, the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 circulates and uses the enclosed game ball, so there is no need to supply the game ball from the outside or discharge the game ball to the outside. It is possible to use a box-shaped machine frame 110 having a back plate instead of a simple frame shape. A front frame 120 is attached to the opening of the machine frame 110. A hinge mechanism is provided on one side of the machine frame 110 and the front frame 120, and the machine frame 110 pivotally supports the front frame 120 by this hinge mechanism. A locking device 160 for locking the front frame 120 to the machine frame 110 is provided on the side opposite to the side where the hinge mechanism of the machine frame 110 and the front frame 120 is provided. The hinge mechanism and the locking device 160 will be described in detail later.

  Further, the front frame 120 has a game board mounting frame 130 (main body frame, front frame main body) serving as a base for mounting various members and the like provided in the front frame 120, and the game board mounting frame 130. It has a transparent member holding frame (opening / closing frame) 140 pivotally supported on the front side and a firing operation unit 150 attached to the lower side of the transparent member holding frame 140 on the front side of the game board mounting frame 130.

  The game board mounting frame 130 is configured in a substantially rectangular plate shape so as to fit within the machine frame 110 having a rectangular frame shape, and the game board 1 described later is fitted and accommodated in a portion extending from the center to the upper end part. A square-shaped opening 121 is formed. The front surface of the game board 1 accommodated in the game board mounting frame 130 faces the front side from the opening 121 of the game board mounting frame 130. Further, the transparent member holding frame 140 is arranged so as to cover the opening 121 in which the game board 1 of the game board mounting frame 130 is fitted, that is, a portion extending from a slightly lower side to the upper end from the center of the game board mounting frame 130. The portion surrounded by the guide rail 2 provided on the front surface of the game board 1 between the front surface of the game board 1 and the glass plates 141 and 141 as transparent members fitted in the transparent member holding frame 140 Is a game area 1a in which a game ball is launched and flows down.

Also, one side (left side) of the transparent member holding frame 140 is pivotally supported on one side of the game board mounting frame 130 so as to be rotatable, and can be opened and closed like a door. By opening the transparent member holding frame 140, the front side of the game area 1a on the front side of the game board 1 can be opened.
The transparent member holding frame 140 becomes a game area 1a in which a game ball can flow down between the game board 1 fitted in the opening 121 so as to substantially close the opening 121 of the game board mounting frame 130. Double glass plates 141 and 141 are fixed at intervals. In the transparent member holding frame 140, at least a portion of the game area 1 a on the front side of the game board 1 can be visually recognized from the front side of the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 through the glass plates 141 and 141.

  Further, on the front side of the transparent member holding frame 140, as shown in FIG. 2, external appeal decoration lamps 11,..., Side lamps 12, 12, speakers 13, 13, Error indicators 14 and 14 (also serving as a decorative lamp) are provided, and a synthetic resin decorative member 15 that decorates the gaming machine 100 is also provided. The external appeal decoration lamps 11,... Are used to notify the surroundings when the number of acquired game balls mainly becomes large in the upper part of the transparent member holding frame 140. For example, the number of difference balls (the number of difference balls) that is the difference between the number of balls entered (the number of balls the player has struck into the gaming machine) and the number of balls played (the number of prize balls that the game ball has entered through the winning slot etc.) The number obtained by adding the number of balls lent to the player by the game store is the number of balls possessed by the player, and the number of balls possessed here is a game ball that enables the above-mentioned game balls to be launched. Based on the numerical data), the external appeal decoration lamps 11,... Are turned on when the number of difference balls increases. As described above, the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 does not pay out the prize balls as described above, and the number of exit balls, the number of balls entered, the number of difference balls, the number of balls held (the number of game balls), etc. This is not the actual number of game balls, but a numerical value on the data. In other words, there are only a limited number (for example, 25) of game balls that are actually used in circulation, and the number of possessed balls is, for example, detected by counting the game balls that are launched into the game area. Number of fired balls, number of foul balls counted by detecting game balls that have been launched but returned, number of recovered balls counted by detecting game balls that have been launched and collected in the game area, prizes for winning From the numerical values such as the number of balls, the number of balls rented from a game store, etc., the above-mentioned number of incoming balls, the number of outgoing balls, the number of difference balls, the number of balls possessed.

  As long as there is no trouble such as the transparent member holding frame 140 being opened and the game ball coming out, the number of fired balls = the number of foul balls + the number of collected balls (when the number of collected balls does not include the number of foul balls) It becomes. Then, the number of entered balls = the number of collected balls = the number of launched balls−the number of foul balls, the number of issued balls = the number of awarded balls (integrated value) = the number of entered balls−the number of rented balls (the number of replayed balls) + the number of held balls, Number of balls = Number of balls rented (or number of replayed balls) + Number of balls played-Number of balls entered, Number of balls played-Number of balls entered = Number of balls differenced, Number of balls held = Number of balls lent (or number of replayed balls) + It becomes the difference ball number. As described above, the game with the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 is completely performed as a numerical value on the data, and an error due to spilling the game ball or leaving the game ball on the lower plate or the upper plate occurs. It is possible to reliably manage in integer units. However, it is difficult to obtain satisfaction and superiority that can be obtained by a player by obtaining a large number of game balls and storing them in a game ball box by increasing the number of balls held. Therefore, the external appeal decoration lamps 11,... Are used so that the player can obtain satisfaction and superiority.

More specifically, the operation of the external appeal decoration lamps 11,..., For example, when the number of balls held or the number of difference balls reaches 1000 or more, one of the external appeal decoration lamps 11,. When the number of balls held or the number of difference balls reaches 2000 or more, two of the external appeal decoration lamps 11... Are lit and the luminescent color is changed. Each time the number of balls increases by a predetermined number, the number of lighting of the external appeal decoration lamps 11,... Is increased and the light emission color is changed to notify the player in the game store of the number of balls with a large difference in number. It is now appealing that players who play in the game have acquired a large number of game balls.
Further, the side lamps 12 and 12 and the error indicators 14 and 14 perform effects such as lighting, blinking, and change of emission color corresponding to the gaming state. Further, the error indicators 14 and 14 notify the occurrence of an error by performing light emission different from normal when an error occurs.

A launch operation unit 150 is attached to the lower side of the transparent member holding frame 140 on the front side of the game board mounting frame 130. The firing operation unit 150 includes a touch panel display unit 151, a handle touch detection unit 152, a firing slide volume 153, a show ball decoration unit 154, a speaker 155, and these members, and a pocket-shaped recess 158 for operating the launching device. A launch operation space forming frame 159 that forms a (space) is provided.
The touch panel display unit 151 includes a liquid crystal display as a display device. As basic functions, the touch panel display unit 151 has information on the number of balls, amount information (remaining amount stored in a storage medium such as a card), and storage information (prize). The game information such as the number of game balls stored in the game store without exchanging them, etc.) is displayed so that the player can check the number of balls at any time without paying out the actual game balls. Various information including the occurrence of an error can be displayed to a store clerk or the like. The touch panel display unit 151 is a touch panel that enables display switching and other input operations corresponding to display contents. The touch panel display unit 151 can be rotated around a rotation axis set in the left-right direction of the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 to adjust the tilt, and the player can adjust the inclination according to the physique of the player. It can be changed to an easy-to-see angle.

The firing force can be adjusted by moving the operation lever 156 of the firing slide volume 153 that can be moved up and down to increase the firing force, and vice versa. ing. The operation lever 156 can be stopped at an arbitrary position, and even if the hand is released, it does not return to the position where the firing force is minimized by a spring or the like. Then, the player can release the game ball by simply releasing the operation lever 156 and touching the handle touch detection units 152 and 152.

The show ball decoration unit 154 virtually represents a flow or the like due to a decrease or increase in game balls accumulated on an upper plate in a pachinko gaming machine that pays out game balls.
That is, when the game balls are sequentially fired or when the game balls are won, only the increase or decrease of the number of balls displayed on the touch panel display unit 151 is reduced by the launch of the game balls accumulated on the upper plate of the pachinko gaming machine. In addition, since it is difficult to actually realize the increase due to the payout of the prize balls, the movement of the game balls is virtually reproduced by the display ball decoration unit 154 so that the player can easily feel the increase or decrease of the game balls. To do.

  Note that the show ball decoration unit 154 represents, for example, the increase or decrease of the game balls by movement of the game balls, and may be displayed by circulating and moving the actual game balls, or the game balls may be displayed as images as a display. The movement of the game ball may be displayed, or the movement of the game ball may be expressed by a blinking lamp or the like.

In the enclosed ball type gaming machine as described above, a game is performed in the game area 1a on the front side of the game board 1 fitted in the opening 121 of the game board mounting frame 130.
In other words, the enclosed ball type gaming machine 100 is for playing a game by firing a game ball (hit ball; game medium) into the game area 1a surrounded by the guide rails 2 of the game board 1, and in the game area 1a.

As it is moved, the moving member 210 is gradually pushed upward to move from the support position toward the fitting / removing position.
When the hinge shaft 185 is moved to substantially the center of the moving member 210, the hinge shaft 185 is inserted into a groove as a guide portion 215 that is continuous with the desired bearing portion 230 among the three bearing portions 230 formed along the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 6B, the hinge shaft 185 is moved in the direction of the bearing portion 230 along the guide portion 215.
If the tip of the hinge shaft 185 is inserted into the guide portion 215 that is continuous with the desired bearing portion 230, the moving member 210 is biased downward by the biasing member 220, and thus easily disengages from the guide portion 215. Without any problem, the bearing portion 230 is surely guided.

When the hinge shaft 185 moved along the guide portion 215 reaches the vicinity of the side end portion of the moving member 210 where the bearing recess 213 is formed, the moving member 210 is completely pushed up to the fitting / removing position. Come to be located. Then, when the hinge shaft 185 exceeds the side end portion of the moving member 210 and reaches the bearing portion 230, as shown in FIG. 6C, the moving member 210 pushed up to the fitting / removing position by the hinge shaft 185 is The urging force of the urging member 220 moves downward, that is, moves to the support position, and the hinge shaft 185 is accommodated in the bearing portion 230. In this state, as shown in FIG. 13, the bearing recess 213 of the moving member 210 abuts on one side surface of the hinge shaft 185, and the hemispherical protrusion 207 formed on the inner side surface 203 b of the hinge bearing forming portion 203 is formed. The hinge shaft 185 abuts on the peripheral surface of the hinge shaft 185, and the hinge shaft 185 is rotatably supported. Here, as an example, a state where the hinge shaft 185 is fitted to the bearing portion 230 at the center is shown.
Through the above operations, the upper and lower hinge mechanisms of the machine frame 110 and the game board mounting frame 130 are connected, and the game board mounting frame 130 is rotatably attached to the machine frame 110.

Even when the transparent member holding frame 140 is closed with respect to the game board mounting frame 130, it is possible to attach the game board mounting frame 130 to the machine frame 110.
Alternatively, the game board mounting frame 130 may be attached to the machine frame 110 with the transparent member holding frame 140 removed from the game board mounting frame 130, and then the transparent member holding frame 140 may be attached to the game board mounting frame 130. .

Next, the front-rear position of the engaging portion 179 of the support 170 is adjusted according to the position of the bearing portion 230 in which the hinge shaft 185 is fitted in the upper hinge mechanism 180 that connects the machine frame 110 and the game board mounting frame 130. To do.
First, as shown in FIG. 14, three notches 177, 177, 177 are formed in the receiving member positioning portions 174, 174 of the receiving member fixing member 171 along the front-rear direction. Among them, the engaging member 172 is arranged so as to be engaged with the notch 177 corresponding to the front and rear positions of the bearing portion 230 into which the hinge shaft 185 is fitted. In FIG. 14, as an example, the convex portion 176 of the engaging member 172 is engaged with the notch 177 of the receiver positioning portion 174 located on the rearmost side.
When the engaging member 172 is disposed at a desired position, the screw inserted into the insertion hole 178a is screwed into the screw hole 175a of the receiving fixture fixing portion 175 and tightened to fix the engaging member 172. As a result, the engaging portion 179 of the receiving member 170 is disposed at a desired front-rear position.

A transparent member holding frame 140 that holds the transparent member (glass plate 141) in a state where the upper and lower hinge mechanisms are provided on one of the machine frame 110 or the game board mounting frame 130 and on the other And a hinge bearing having a bearing portion that rotatably supports the hinge shaft, wherein the hinge bearing 200 of the upper hinge mechanism 180 fixes the hinge bearing 200. In addition, a fixing member 201 in which a part of the bearing part 230 is formed, and a bearing part 230 other than the part of the bearing part 230 of the fixing member 201 are formed, and the hinge shaft 185 can be fitted to and removed from the bearing part 230. A moving member 210 provided on the fixed member 201 so as to be movable to a fitting position and a supporting position where the bearing portion 230 rotatably supports the hinge shaft 185, and a biasing member that biases the moving member 210 toward the supporting position. (Compression coil spring 220), and the transparent member holding frame 140 is provided with a movement blocking member 143 for blocking the movement of the moving member 210 to the fitting / removing position, and the movement blocking member 143 is connected to the game board mounting frame 130. When the transparent member holding frame 140 is closed, the moving member 210 is prevented from moving to the fitting / removing position, and the transparent member holding frame 140 is opened to allow the moving member 210 to move to the fitting / detaching position. I have to so that.

Accordingly, a part of the bearing portion 230 that rotatably supports the hinge shaft 185 is formed on the fixed member 201, and the other portion is formed on the moving member 210, and the moving member 210 is movable between the support position and the fitting / removing position. Thus, the machine frame 110 and the game board mounting frame 130 can be easily attached and detached.
Further, since the moving member 210 is biased to the support position side that supports the hinge shaft 185 by the biasing member, the game board mounting frame 130 is not inadvertently detached from the machine frame 110.
Further, the game board mounting frame 130 and the transparent member holding frame 140 are closed to the transparent member holding frame 140 to prevent the moving member 210 from moving to the fitting / removing position, and the transparent member holding frame 140 is opened. Then, since the movement preventing member 143 that allows the movement of the moving member 210 to the fitting / removing position is formed, the moving member 210 cannot be moved in a state where the transparent member holding frame 140 is closed, so that an illegal act can be prevented. Further, if the transparent member holding frame 140 is opened, the moving member 210 can be moved regardless of the position of the game board mounting frame 130, and the workability of the game board mounting frame 130 for adjusting the inclination and attaching / detaching is remarkably improved. improves.

  Further, the hinge bearing 200 of the upper hinge mechanism 180 is formed on the fixed member 201 and formed on the moving member 210 and a pair of protrusions (semispherical protrusions 207) that abut on the peripheral surface of the hinge shaft 185. The bearing recess 230 formed in contact with the peripheral surface of the bearing recess 230 is formed so as to face each other. The moving member 210 is movable in the vertical direction, and the front surface of the game board mounting frame 130 The bearing recess 213 is movable to a support position where the bearing recess 213 can come into contact with the peripheral surface of the hinge shaft 185 and a fitting / removal position where the bearing recess 213 is retracted upward from the support position. Thus, the movement preventing member 143 is formed into the moving member 210 with the game board mounting frame 130 and the transparent member holding frame 140 closed, being biased toward the support position by the biasing member (compression coil spring 220). The movable member 210 is engaged with the engaged portion 216 to be prevented from moving to the fitting / removing position, the transparent member holding frame 140 is retracted from the engaging portion 216 in the open state, and the moving member 210 is moved to the fitting / detaching position. Is allowed to move.

Therefore, a pair of protrusions (semispherical protrusions 207) that contact the peripheral surface of the hinge shaft 185 are formed on the fixed member 201, and a bearing recess 213 that contacts the peripheral surface of the hinge shaft 185 is formed on the moving member 210. The machine frame 110 and the game board mounting frame 130 are configured by moving the moving member 210 to a support position where the bearing recess 213 contacts the peripheral surface of the hinge shaft 185 and a fitting / removing position retracted upward. It becomes easy to put on and take off.
In addition, the game board mounting frame 130 may be inadvertently detached from the machine frame 110 because the moving member 210 is biased toward the support position side that supports the hinge shaft 185 by the biasing member (compression coil spring 220). Absent.
Further, the game board mounting frame 130 and the transparent member holding frame 140 are closed to the transparent member holding frame 140 to prevent the moving member 210 from moving to the fitting / removing position, and the transparent member holding frame 140 is opened. Then, since the movement preventing member 143 that allows the movement of the moving member 210 to the fitting / removing position is formed, the moving member 210 cannot be moved in a state where the transparent member holding frame 140 is closed, so that an illegal act can be prevented. Further, if the transparent member holding frame 140 is opened, the moving member 210 can be moved regardless of the position of the game board mounting frame 130, and the workability of the game board mounting frame 130 for adjusting the inclination and attaching / detaching is remarkably improved. improves.

  Further, a cover member 142 that covers the upper hinge mechanism 180 from the front is formed on the transparent member holding frame 140.

Therefore, since the cover member 142 that covers the upper hinge mechanism 180 is formed on the transparent member holding frame 140, it is possible to prevent the upper hinge mechanism 180 from being touched, and to prevent unauthorized actions and injury. it can.
Further, since the upper hinge mechanism 180 can be hidden, the design is improved.
Furthermore, since the cover member 142 also moves along with the operation of the transparent member holding frame 140, the workability of the attaching / detaching work of the game board mounting frame 130 is improved.
