  However, in conventional pachinko machines, if the inflow to these inflow ports is missed, the winning award to the award opening will be provided unless it is configured to perform a loop operation that circulates game balls on the stage portion using a lift or the like. A game ball was dropped from the discharge path of the stage part with almost no probability. For this reason, there is room for improvement in the game preferences that make the player feel excited when the game ball flows into the winning assistance passage.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and provides a pachinko gaming machine that can further improve the game's preference by improving the expectation that a game ball will win a prize opening from the stage unit. With the goal.

In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the center object is
A stage part that rolls the game ball from the upstream side to the downstream side;
A winning assistance passage that allows a game ball to flow in from an inflow opening opened to the stage portion and to flow out from the outflow opening toward the winning opening,
Disposed on the downstream side where the game ball rolls in the stage part, and a discharge path through which the game ball can be discharged out of the center accessory from the front edge of the stage part,
The entrance to enter the game ball into the stage part,
A pachinko machine configured with
The inflow port is configured to include at least one open inflow port that is always open, and at least one open / close inflow port that can be opened and closed repeatedly to allow the game ball to flow in at the time of opening and to prevent the game ball from flowing in at the time of closing. It is characterized by.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, at least one open inflow opening that is always open, and at least one open and close inflow opening that allows the game ball to flow in at the time of opening and closing and allows the game ball to flow in at the time of closing, The game ball on the stage that entered through the entrance can enter the other entrance without entering the one entrance, and the prize will be awarded. The expectation of the inflow of game balls into the auxiliary passage can be improved.

  One of the two types of inflow ports is an open / close inflow port that allows the game ball to flow in at the time of opening and the inflow of the game ball at the time of closing unlike the open inflow port that always opens. In other words, this opening / closing inlet is not always open, but is repeatedly opened and closed, and if the game ball is not positioned on the opening surface at the time of opening, it will not flow into the winning assistance passage. When the ball passes through the opening / closing inlet, the player will be thrilled.

  Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the opening and closing inlet can improve the expectation that the game ball will win from the stage portion to the winning opening, and the player can be excited by the timing of opening and closing the opening and closing inlet. As a result, the game preference can be further improved.

  The opening / closing inlet may be disposed on the upstream side where the game ball rolls from the open inlet, but is preferably disposed on the downstream side where the game ball rolls from the open inlet. . This is because, when a game ball rolling on the stage part does not flow into the open inlet and rolls into the downstream opening / closing inlet, but does not flow into the opening / closing inlet, If the possibility of being discharged increases, and if it flows into the opening / closing inlet when it is opened, it will be prevented from discharging from the discharge passage, and the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing inlet will be attracting attention. It can be throbbing, and the game preferences can be further improved.

In this case, the stage unit includes at least two stages: an upper stage on the upstream side where the game ball rolls, and a lower stage located below the upper stage and on the downstream side where the game ball rolls. If provided, the open inlet is disposed on the upper stage side, and
Center role is
A lift that repeats the transfer operation to receive the game ball on the lower stage side and transfer it to the upper stage side that can flow into the open inlet,
A return route that allows the game balls that have not flowed into the open inlet to roll back from the upper stage to the receiving area of the lift game balls in the lower stage; and
Provided and configured,
The opening / closing inlet may be arranged on the lower stage side so that the game ball can roll to the lift receiving area when the opening / closing inlet is closed.

  In such a configuration, even when the game ball does not flow into the open inlet of the upper stage and does not flow into the open / close inlet of the lower stage on the downstream side, it can flow into the open inlet. , Even if it is transferred again to the upper stage side by the lift and does not flow into the open inlet or into the open inlet, there is a possibility that it will flow into the open / close inlet via the return route, The lift repeats the transfer operation, and using the above return route, the game ball may flow into the winning assistance passage in a loop operation, except for the case where the game ball is discharged from the discharge path, The expectation of winning a prize at the winning opening can be given further, and the game's preference is improved.

  Furthermore, in this case, if the opening surface is arranged in the lift so that the opening / closing inlet opens and closes along with the lift transfer operation, the opening surface is opened during the transfer operation to the upper stage side of the lift. Accordingly, it becomes possible to allow the lower-stage game balls that have not been transferred to the upper stage side by the lift to flow into the winning assistance passage from the opening / closing inlet. Then, during the lift transfer operation until this opening surface opens and closes, whether or not the game ball rolling on the lower stage flows into the opening / closing inlet, the player will be throbbing, The taste of the game can be improved.

  As a lift in this case, there are a circulation rotation type in which a rotating rotor is provided with a magnet, bucket, blade, etc. capable of holding a game ball, and a vertical reciprocation type in which a support surface on which a game ball is placed is supported. As an example, if a vertical reciprocating type lift is used, the lift can be configured with a width dimension in the front-rear direction that is slightly larger than the approximate diameter dimension of the game ball that can pass through the game ball, and an open / close inlet is provided. The lift can be compactly disposed on the stage portion, and is suitable for a stage portion having a limited width dimension in the front-rear direction. By the way, when using a circular rotation type lift, the diameter of the game ball is at least twice as large as the diameter of the game ball so as to secure a passage through which the game ball passes. If the space for providing the magnets, buckets, and the like is taken into consideration, the occupied space in the front-rear direction becomes large.

  And when using a lift of the up-and-down reciprocating movement type, the winning assist passage is disposed from the opening / closing inflow port to the outflow port so as to penetrate in the front-rear direction below the lift. The lift has a support surface for supporting the game ball on the upper surface side, and can receive the game ball rolling on the lower stage when the lowermost position is received by the support surface. Is configured so that the support surface is reciprocated up and down so as to be disposed at a position where it can roll on the open inlet on the open inlet side or the return route area of the upper stage adjacent to the open inlet. Place it on the front side. The open / close inlet is opened when the lift is placed at the highest position, and is arranged on the front side of the lift so as to be hidden by the lower stage when the lift is lowered, and is located above the outlet side of the winning auxiliary passage. What is necessary is just to arrange | position so that it may communicate from the side.

  In this case, on the front and rear portions of the lower stage on the front side of the lift, a front-falling inclined surface that falls from the lower stage to form a discharge path, and a rear-lowering guide that can guide the game ball to the support surface side of the lift It is desirable to arrange the surface.

  In such a configuration, when the game ball rolls on the lower stage, whether the game ball is placed on the lift through the guide surface or falls from the lower stage through the discharge path, the player is thrilled. As a result, the game preference can be further improved.

  In addition, the lift that moves up and down reciprocally extends to the lower part, extends to the inner peripheral side of the winning auxiliary passage, and decelerates the game ball in the winning auxiliary passage so that it can be guided to the outlet side so as to contact the game ball It is desirable to provide

  In such a configuration, the game ball passing through the winning auxiliary passage is brought into contact with the interference portion and decelerates, so the gaming ball flowing out from the outflow port can increase the winning probability to the winning port. The presence of the inlet of the open inlet and the open / close inlet can be enhanced, and the player can be thrilled whether or not to enter the inlet, and the game's preference can be improved. Further, in such a configuration, an interference part that decelerates the game ball by bringing it into contact with the game ball that has flowed into the inflow port is provided in a lift that repeatedly moves up and down, and a separate interference part is not provided. Well, the number of parts can be reduced. In particular, if the interference part is arranged on a lift that repeats up and down movement, the timing and degree of contact with the game ball of the interference part can be set variously according to the vertical movement of the lift, and the game ball can be decelerated. It is possible to easily adjust and set the presence / absence and the degree of deceleration. For example, if the interfering portion is arranged so as to change the contact resistance with respect to the game ball up and down so that the deceleration state with respect to the game ball at the time of passage can be changed as the lift moves up and down, The presence or absence of deceleration and the degree of deceleration can be easily adjusted and set. In addition, for example, the interference part can be configured to receive the front side of the game ball, and when the lift is lowered, the interference part is moved down so as to be separated from the front side of the game ball, or when the lift is raised, If the interference part is configured to move upward so as to be separated from the front side of the game ball, the game ball can be decelerated so as to be received and stopped by the interference part and then rolled to the outlet side. The speed of the game ball flowing out from the outlet can be stabilized so as to further increase the winning probability to the winning opening.

The opening dimension in the left-right direction of the open / close inlet 55 is set equal to the opening dimension WH in the left-right direction of the open inlet 50 (see FIG. 7C), and is set slightly larger than the approximate diameter of the game ball B. Has been.

  The sliding groove 67 on which the pins 80d of the cranks 86, 86R of the drive mechanism 75 that moves the lift 60 up and down slides is provided on the rear surface side of the ceiling wall 65.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, substantially semi-disc shaped interference portions 71, 71 are formed at the opposing portions of the left and right support leg portions 66, 66 on the lower side of the lift 60. Each interference portion 71 is integrally formed of a forming material such as a synthetic resin on which the lift 60 is formed, and is disposed so as to approach each other. The interference portions 71, 71 are arranged so as to extend to the inner peripheral side of the outflow side passage 52 through the slits 54 provided in the peripheral wall of the winning assist passage 49, and pass through the outflow side passage 52. It arrange | positions so that B may be decelerated and to contact the game ball B so that it can guide to the outflow port 51 side. The interference portion 71 has a height position at which the opening / closing inlet 55 that opens upward from the guide surface 35 of the lower rolling surface 33 narrows the opening area to about half from when the uppermost position of the lift 60 is disposed. (See FIGS. 5 and 7C and B), the outlet passage 52 is disposed so as to extend from the left and right sides of the outlet passage 52 toward the center of the outlet passage 52. And if the game ball B which passes the outflow side channel | path 52 contacts the interference parts 71 and 71, it will be decelerated until it stops, and with the further fall of the lift 60 (C, B of FIG. The interference units 71 and 71 move downward from the front side of the game ball B, and the game ball B rolls to the outlet 51 side in a decelerated state and passes the falling parabola to the start winning opening 9. As an easy-to-win track, the probability of winning at the start winning port 9 is increased and the flow out (falls) from the outlet 51 (see B in FIG. 6).

  The operation of the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment will be described. When the power is turned on, the lift 60 repeats the up-and-down reciprocating movement by the operation of the drive mechanism 75, and the game ball B enters the entrance 17a of the warp passage 17 during the game. When the ball is entered, the game ball B rolls from the outlet 17b so as to run up the left surface portion 27 of the upper rolling surface 21 of the upper stage 20 to the center portion 22 side (see FIGS. 3 and 4). If the game ball B does not flow into the open inlet 50, then, for example, the game ball B rolls from the bottom 28a of the right surface 28 to the lower rolling surface 33 of the lower stage 32 via the return route 46, If the lift 60 is disposed at the lowest position, it is guided on the support surface 61 and rises together with the lift 60. At this time, as shown in A, B, C of FIG. 5 and A, B, C of FIG. 7, the game ball B placed on the lift 60 is lifted while swinging left and right on the support surface 61 and lifted. When the support surface 61 is disposed at the highest position on the upper stage 20 side, the roller 60 rolls from the support surface 61 to the open inlet 50 or the adjacent areas 24 and 25. If the game ball B does not flow into the open inlet 50, the game ball B is placed on the guide surface 35 in the area of the central portion 34 of the lower stage 32 on the downstream side via the return route 46. At this time, the lift 60 rises. If the opening / closing inlet 55 is open, it flows into the opening / closing inlet 55 (see B in FIG. 6). Alternatively, when the game ball B is placed on the guide surface 35, if the lift 60 is disposed at the lowest lowered position, it is received again by the support surface 61 of the lift 60 (see A in FIG. 6), and It is transferred to the upper stage 20 and flows into the open inlet 50 or is returned to the vicinity of the lift 60 via the return route 46 and flows into the open / close inlet 55 or discharged from the discharge passage 44, or Then, it is transferred again by the lift 60 and the loop operation described above is performed, so that it can flow into the open inlet 50 or the open / close inlet 55 except when discharged from the discharge passage 44. Then, if the game ball B flows into the open inlet 50 and the open / close inlet 55, as described above, the game ball B rolls to the outlet 51 due to its own weight, and starts winning from the outlet 51. It will flow out to the mouth 9 side.

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the open inflow port 50 that is always open, and the open / close inflow port 55 that allows the game ball B to flow in when opened and the game ball B cannot flow in when closed. The game ball B on the stage portion 19 can flow into the other inflow port without entering the one inflow port, and enter the winning assistance passage 49. The expectation of the inflow of the game ball B can be improved.

  In addition, unlike the open inlet 50 that is always open, one of the two types of inlets is an open / close inlet that repeatedly opens and closes to allow the game ball B to flow in at the time of opening and to prevent the game ball B from flowing in at the time of closing. 55. That is, the opening / closing inlet 55 is not always opened, but is repeatedly opened and closed. If the game ball B is not positioned on the opening surface 55a at the time of opening, the opening / closing inlet 55 does not flow into the winning assist passage 49. Therefore, when the game ball B passes through the opening / closing inlet 55, the player is thrilled.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the opening / closing inlet 55 can improve the expectation of winning to the start winning opening 9 below the stage portion 19, and depending on the opening / closing timing of the opening / closing inlet 55, By making the player throbbing, it is possible to further improve the taste of the game.

  In the embodiment, the open / close inlet 55 is arranged on the lower stage 32 side downstream of the game ball B rolling from the open inlet 50 arranged on the upper stage 20 side. 35 is arranged so that it can flow in from above. Therefore, when the game ball B rolling on the upper stage 20 of the stage portion 19 does not flow into the open inflow port 50 but rolls to the site (central portion 34) of the downstream opening / closing inflow port 55. If it does not flow into the opening / closing inlet 55, the possibility of being discharged from the discharge path 44 of the central portion 22 is increased, and if it flows into the opening / closing inlet 55 at the time of opening, the discharge from the discharge path 44 is prevented. As a result, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing inlet 55 is attracting attention, which can make the player more excited and improve the game's preference.

  If the above points are not taken into account, the opening / closing inlet 55 may be disposed on the upstream side where the game ball rolls from the open inlet 50. In this case, for example, the open / close inlet 55 can be provided on the left surface portion 27 near the outlet 17b of the warp passage 17. That is, if an opening communicating with the winning assist passage 49 is provided in the left surface portion 27 and an opening / closing shutter is provided at the periphery of the opening so that the opening can be opened and closed, the game ball B flows into the center accessory 16. The opening / closing inlet 55 is arranged on the left side 27 of the portion close to the entrance (warp passage) 17 at the time, that is, the upstream side of the central part 22 of the upper stage 20 and the upstream side of the game ball B. Can be set.

  And in embodiment, the stage part 19 is arrange | positioned under the upper stage 20 which becomes the upstream where the game ball B rolls, and the lower stage where the game ball B rolls downstream. And the two stages 20 and 32, and the open inflow port 50 is disposed on the upper stage 20 side. Further, the transfer operation is performed so that the center accessory 16 can receive the game ball B on the lower stage 32 side and transfer the game ball B to the upstream side where the game ball B rolls into the open inflow port 50 on the upper stage 20 side. The lift 60 that repeats the above and the game balls B that have not flown into the open inlet 50 around the open inlet 50 are received from the upper stage 20 to the lower stage 32 for receiving the game balls B of the lift 60 (guide surface 35 and And a return route 46 that can be rolled back to the support surface 61). The opening / closing inlet 55 is disposed on the lower stage 32 side so that the game ball B can roll to the lift receiving area (the guide surface 35 and the support surface 61) when the opening is closed.

  Therefore, in the embodiment, even when the game ball B does not flow into the open inlet 50 of the upper stage 20 and does not flow into the open / close inlet 55 of the lower stage 32 on the downstream side, the open inlet 50 Even if it is transferred again to the upper stage 20 side by the lift 60 and does not flow into the open inlet 50 or into the open inlet 50, it can pass through the return route 46. There is a possibility of inflow to the inlet 55, and the loop operation is performed except that the lift 60 repeats the transfer operation and the game ball B is discharged from the discharge path 44 using the return route 46 described above. Thus, there is a possibility of flowing into the winning assistance passage 49, and the player can be given more expectation of winning at the start winning opening 9, thereby improving the game preference.

  Further, in this case, as in the embodiment, if the opening surface 55a is disposed on the lift 60 so that the opening / closing inlet 55 opens and closes along with the transfer operation of the lift 60, the upper stage 20 side of the lift 60 is provided. During the transfer operation, the opening surface 55a is opened, and the game ball B on the lower stage 32 side that has not been transferred to the upper stage 20 side by the lift 60 is caused to flow from the opening / closing inlet 55 to the winning assist passage 49. It becomes possible. Then, during the transfer operation of the lift 60 until the opening surface 55a opens and closes, whether or not the game ball B rolling on the lower stage 32 flows into the open / close inlet 55 is caused to make the player throbbing. As a result, the game preference can be improved.

  In this case, in the embodiment, the up / down reciprocating lift 60 that reciprocates the support surface 61 that supports the game ball B on and off is exemplified, but the magnet, bucket, and blade that can hold the game ball on the rotating rotor. A circulating rotation type lift provided with the above may be used. For example, in the lift 90 shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the rotating rotor 91 is provided with a magnet 92 capable of holding the game ball B, and the opening / closing inlet 55 </ b> A is arranged along the direction orthogonal to the rotation center axis C of the lift 90. The lift 90 is disposed so as to penetrate therethrough. The lift 90 has a rotation center axis C arranged in the left-right direction, and rotates in a backward rotation such that the front side around the rotation center axis C is directed upward and further toward the rear side, and is opened and closed. When one of the opening surfaces 55a at both ends of the inflow port 55A is opened on the guide surface 35 (receiving area) side of the lower stage 32, the game ball B rolling from the guide surface 35 is caused to flow into the other opening surface. When the opening surface 55a is covered with the lower stage 32 or the upper stage 20, the opening / closing inlet 55A is closed.

  When the opening / closing inlet 55 </ b> A is closed, the magnet 92 provided on the holding surface 91 a between the opening surfaces 55 a and 55 a on the outer peripheral surface of the rotor 91 moves the game ball B disposed on the guide surface 35 of the lower stage 32. Adsorb and hold. Then, the game ball B is transferred to the upper stage 20 side with the rearward rotation of the lift 90 and separated from the holding surface 91a of the lift 90 so as to be separated by the protrusion 26, and the open inflow port 50 or the adjacent area 24, Will roll to 25.

  Even in such a lift 90, the opening surface 55 a is disposed in the lift 90 so that the opening / closing inlet 55 </ b> A opens and closes along with the transfer operation of the lift 90, and the transfer operation to the upper stage 20 side of the lift 90 is performed. The opening surface 55a is opened inside, and the game ball B on the lower stage 32 side that has not been transferred to the upper stage 20 side by the lift 90 can flow into the winning assist passage 49 from the opening / closing inlet 55A. Become. Then, during the transfer operation of the lift 90 until the opening surface 55a is opened and closed, whether or not the game ball B rolling on the lower stage 32 flows into the open / close inlet 55A is irritated by the player. As a result, the game preference can be improved.

  However, if the lift 60 of the vertical reciprocating movement type of the embodiment is used rather than the lift 90 of the circulation rotation type, the width dimension in the front-rear direction slightly larger than the approximate diameter dimension of the game ball B through which the game ball B can pass ( The lift 60 can be configured as a depth dimension (DL) (see A in FIG. 6), and the lift 60 provided with the opening / closing inlet 55 can be compactly disposed on the stage portion 19 and limited to the width dimension in the front-rear direction. It is suitable for the stage part 19 with By the way, in the case of using the circulation rotation type lift 90, the diameter dimension is at least about twice the diameter dimension of the game ball B so as to secure a passage through which the game ball B passes. Considering the space for providing the magnet 92 and the bucket for transferring the sphere B, the occupied space in the front-rear direction becomes large.

  Further, in the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the starting prize below the lower stage 32 from the lower stage 32 to the front and rear portions of the central portion 34 of the lower rolling surface 33 of the lower stage 32 on the front side of the support surface 61 when the lift 60 is lowered. An inclined surface 36, 36, which forms a discharge path 44 that freely falls to the mouth 9 side, and a guide surface 35, which can guide the game ball B toward the support surface 61 of the lift 60, are provided. (See FIGS. 4 and 6). Therefore, when the game ball B rolls on the lower rolling surface 33 of the lower stage 32, the game ball B falls on the lift 60 through the guide surface 35 or falls from the lower stage 32 through the discharge path 44. However, the game will be thrilled by the player, so that the game's taste can be further improved.

  The opening / closing inlet may be applied to a gaming machine without a lift. For example, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, a rotary body 95 having a cylindrical configuration in which the magnet 92 is removed from the lift 90. The game ball B placed on the guide surface 35 of the lower stage 32 may be configured to flow into the winning assist passage 49 using the opening / closing inlet 55A of the rotating body 95. The rotating body 95 may be rotationally driven by forward rotation such that the rear surface side is directed upward and further directed forward. Then, the game ball B that has flowed in from the opening surface 55 a is temporarily accumulated inside the rotating body 95, falls downward from the opening surface 55 a facing downward, and flows out to the winning assist passage 49.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment, the lift 60 that reciprocates up and down extends to the lower side, extends to the inner peripheral side of the outflow side passage 52 of the winning assist passage 49, decelerates the game ball B in the outflow side passage 52, and flows out. An interference portion 71 that contacts the game ball B is disposed so as to be guided to the 51 side. That is, since the game ball B passing through the outflow side passage 52 of the winning assist passage 49 comes into contact with the interference portion 71 and decelerates (see C and B in FIGS. 5 and 7), the game ball B that flows out from the outlet 51 However, it is possible to increase the probability of entering the start winning opening 9, so that the presence of the open inlet 50 and the open / close inlet 55 is increased, and whether or not the open entrance 50 and the open / close inlet 55 are entered. It is possible to make the player even more excited and improve the game's preference. Further, in such a configuration, an interference unit 71 that contacts the game ball B passing through the outflow side passage 52 to decelerate the game ball B is provided in the lift 60 that repeatedly moves up and down. 71 need not be provided, and the number of parts can be reduced. In particular, if the interference unit 71 is disposed on the lift 60 that repeatedly moves up and down, the timing and degree of contact of the interference unit 71 with the game ball B can be variously set in accordance with the vertical movement of the lift 60. The presence or absence of deceleration of the game ball B and the adjustment and setting of the degree of deceleration can be easily performed.

  In the embodiment, as the configuration of the interference portion 71, the opening / closing inlet 55 that opens upward from the guide surface 35 of the lower rolling surface 33 from the time when the uppermost position of the lift 60 is disposed has almost the same opening area. When descending to a height position narrowed to about half, it is arranged so as to extend from the left and right sides of the outflow side passage 52 to the center side of the outflow side passage 52 (see C and B in FIGS. 5 and 7). The game ball B passing through the outflow side passage 52 is configured to stop in contact with the interference units 71 and 71 when the lift 60 is lifted. As the lift 60 is lowered, the game units B and 71 The game ball B moves downward to the outlet 51 side in a decelerated state, and wins the winning prize opening 9 as a locus that makes it easy to win the falling parabola to the starting prize opening 9. The flow rate is increased from the outlet 51. That is, the interference portions 71 and 71 are arranged in the outflow side passage 52 when the lift 60 is at the highest position, and the interference portions 71 and 71 are separated from the outflow side passage 52 when the lift 60 is at the lowest position. When the game ball B supported on the support surface 61 flows into the open inflow port 50 and immediately rolls the outflow side passage 52 toward the outflow port 51 at the time of the highest rise, or as the lift 60 rises. Even if the game balls B flow in from the open / close inlet 55, the interference balls 71 and 71 receive the game balls B, and the game balls B are decelerated as the lift 60 descends. The game ball B lifted by the lift 60 and the game ball B that has flowed into the open / close inlet 55 can flow at a stable speed with a higher winning probability to the start winning opening 9. Can flow out of the outlet 51 That.

  If the above points are not taken into consideration, as in the interference portions 71A and 71A shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the inner wall of the outflow side passage 52 passes through the slit 54 in the peripheral wall of the winning assist passage 49 in the vicinity of the lowermost position of the lift 60. The game ball B that has entered the peripheral side and passes to the outlet 51 side is stopped so as to decelerate, and when the lift 60 is lifted, it is detached from the front of the stopped game ball B and decelerated. You may comprise so that the game ball B may roll to the outflow port 51 side in the state.

  It should be noted that the interference unit 71 of the embodiment is set so as not to contact the game ball B passing through the outflow side passage 52 in the vicinity of the time when the lift 60 is at the lowest position so that the game ball B cannot be decelerated. 15 and 16 is set so that it does not come into contact with the game ball B passing through the outflow side passage 52 in the vicinity of the time when the lift 60 is most lifted, and the game ball B cannot be decelerated. ing.

  In the case of improving the above point, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, an interference portion that can contact the game ball B passing through the outflow side passage 52 in the vicinity of the most elevated position and the most lowered position of the lift 60. 71B and 71B may be provided on the lift 60. The interference portions 71B and 71B are formed of thin-walled fin portions 72 and 72 formed of rubber or synthetic resin that has a certain degree of shape retention and can be elastically deformed. And each fin part 72,72 penetrate | invades in the outflow side channel | path 52 through the slit 54 of the surrounding wall of the winning assistance path 49, and when the lift 60 is arrange | positioned in the vicinity of the highest position and the lowest position. And two convex plate portions 72a and 72b that can come into contact with the game ball B passing through the outflow side passage 52, and between the convex plate portions 72a and 72b, between the left and right fin portions 72 and 72, the outside of the game ball B A recess 72c capable of forming an opening slightly larger than the diameter is provided.

  In such interference portions 71B and 71B, the game ball B passing through the outflow side passage 52 to the outlet 51 side is stopped so as to be decelerated by hitting the convex plate portions 72a and 72b, and protrudes from the front side of the game ball B. In a state where the board portions 72a and 72b are detached and the game ball B is decelerated, the game ball B rolls toward the outlet 51, or the game ball B moves between the left and right recesses 72c and 72c. Passes without touching and rolls to the outlet 51 side without being decelerated. Further, the game ball B comes into contact with a part of the convex plate parts 72a and 72b of the fin part 72, and the game ball B is bent so as to elastically deform a part of the fin part 72. It can roll to the exit 51 side. In such an interference unit 71B, the game ball B can be rolled to the outlet 51 side by varying the degree of deceleration of the game ball B according to the timing when the lift 60 moves up and down.

  In the embodiment, the case where the interference part 71 is provided below the opening / closing inlet 55 is shown. Of course, the lift 60 is provided so as to provide the opening / closing inlet 55 without providing the interference parts 71, 71 </ b> A, 71 </ b> B. It may be configured.

  In the embodiment, the digipachi type gaming machine 1 has been described. However, the present invention may be applied to a honeymoon type pachinko gaming machine having a center accessory other than the digipachi type.

  Further, in the embodiment, the case where the game ball B enters the stage unit 19 is illustrated using the entrance including the pipe-shaped warp passage 17. The game ball B may be made to enter the stage unit 19 by using the entrance that penetrates through.

  Furthermore, the lifts 60 and 90, the rotating body 95, or the vicinity of the central portions 22 and 34 of the stage portion 19 are made of a synthetic resin material having a certain degree of transparency so that the game ball B passing through the inside can be visually recognized. You may form from the transparent body (or translucent body) which becomes.
