Description

  In the present invention, a winning assist passage that allows a game ball that rolls on the stage portion to flow in from an inflow opening that opens in the stage portion and flows out from the outflow port toward the winning opening is provided in the center accessory. This is related to pachinko machines that are configured as described above.

  In conventional pachinko machines, in the center role, the inlet of the winning auxiliary passage is arranged near the center in the left-right direction of the upper stage in the stage portion, and the lift is arranged in the lower stage part in front of the inlet. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). In addition, the winning assist passage is configured to open the outlet at a position above the winning opening located below the lower stage so that the game ball flowing in from the inlet flows out from the outlet so as to easily enter the winning opening. . This winning opening is a starting winning opening for starting a lottery with a digipachi or the like, and gives a player a privilege by entering the ball.

  Then, the lift is a rotation type whose transfer operation is a rotation operation, so that the lower stage side game ball can be transferred to the vicinity of the inlet on the upper stage side, and rotates with a rotation axis along the left and right direction, On the outer circumference side, a receiving ball holding portion made of a magnet is provided so that the gaming ball can be detached on the upper stage side and can receive and hold the gaming ball on the lower stage side.

  In addition, a return route that can be rolled back from the upper stage to the receiving area of the lift game balls in the lower stage so that the game balls that did not flow into the inlet can be replayed around the inlet, It was arranged.

  In this return route, the areas on both the left and right sides of the inlet of the upper stage are formed as inclined surfaces that are lowered toward the left and right edges of the upper stage, and the areas of the lower stage are both edges on the left and right sides of the upper stage. The upper surface is connected to each other, and the vicinity of the center in the left-right direction is lowered downward. The vicinity of the center of the lower stage is arranged on the front side of the lift to serve as a receiving area, and the front edge side is a discharge path through which the game ball can be discharged downward outside the center accessory.

  Furthermore, at the upper side of the stage portion of the decorative frame around the center accessory, there is an entrance of a warp passage as a entrance for guiding the entered game ball to be able to roll on the lower stage. It was.

  In such a pachinko gaming machine, the game ball rolling on the lower stage is held by the lift receiving holding part and enters the inlet of the winning auxiliary passage, or does not flow into the inlet, Rolling to the lower stage via the return route, and again being transferred to the upper stage side by lift or discharged from the discharge path, the player could be throbbing.

Further, in a conventional honey-type pachinko game machine, a so-called V zone (also referred to as a V prize opening) that swings left and right is disposed in the center role, and a game ball that has entered the center role is If a game ball wins the V zone, there was a big hit (see, for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3).
JP 2004-97800 A JP 2004-181143 A FY2006 Standard Technology Collection Pachislot and related technologies (see page 182 of JPO Bias)

  However, in conventional pachinko machines equipped with a lift for transferring a game ball so that it can flow into the inlet on the upper stage from the lower stage and a return route that can be replayed, the inlet on the upper stage moves. The game ball that is fixed at the center of the upper stage in the left and right direction and rolls on the lower stage is determined to flow into the inlet if it is held by the lift just below the inlet. As a result, the game at the stage portion of the game ball is almost completed, and there is room for improvement in further improving the game preference.

  Also, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine provided with a V zone that swings to the left and right, whether or not the game ball that has entered the center role enters the V zone that swings to the left or right is caused to be pounded by the player. However, if the game ball does not win the V zone, the game will not be awarded to the general winning slot adjacent to the V zone in the center bonus, and simply a predetermined number of game balls Just by paying out, the game at the stage portion of the game ball outside the V zone is completed, and there is room for improvement in the point of further improving the game preference as described above.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and can further improve the game preference when a game ball rolling on the lower stage is transferred to the vicinity of the inlet by a lift. The purpose is to provide.

In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the center object is
A stage unit having at least two stages of an upper stage capable of rolling the game balls and a lower stage disposed below the upper stage;
A prize-winning auxiliary passage that allows a game ball to flow in from an inflow opening opened to the upper stage and to flow out from the outflow opening toward the winning opening;
A lift that receives the lower stage side game ball and has a receiving holding part that can be transferred to the upper stage side, and repeats the transfer operation of the game ball;
A return route that allows the game balls that have not flowed into the inflow port to roll back from the upper stage to the receiving area of the lift game balls in the lower stage; and
A discharge path arranged on the lower stage and capable of discharging the game ball from the front edge of the lower stage to the outside of the center role,
The entrance to enter the game ball into the stage part,
A pachinko machine configured with
The inflow port is arranged on the rear side of the lift on the upper stage side so that the game ball transferred by the lift receiving holding part can flow in, and the game ball that has not flowed into the inflow port at the time of transfer is placed on the upper stage It is arranged so as to be able to roll to the area of the return route, and to reciprocate along the left-right direction,
The lift receiving and holding portion is set to have a lateral length wider than the opening size in the horizontal direction of the inflow port, and the game ball received on the lower stage side is positioned above the reciprocating movement area in the horizontal direction of the inflow port. It is arranged to be transportable to the stage side.

  In the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, if the game ball that has entered the stage part via the entrance hole rolls on the lower stage side and is received and held by the lift receiving holding part, the upper stage side It is transferred to. At that time, the inflow port of the winning assistance passage is reciprocating along the left-right direction, and the lift receiving and holding portion is set so that the length in the left-right direction is wider than the opening size in the left-right direction of the inflow port. In addition, the game balls received on the lower stage side are arranged so as to be able to be transferred to the upper stage side in the reciprocating movement region in the left-right direction of the inflow port. Therefore, when the game ball held in the lift receiving and holding part is transferred to the upper stage side, it does not surely flow into the inflow port, but whether or not it flows into the inflow port, makes the player throbbing It becomes. Even if the game ball transferred by the lift does not flow into the inflow port, the inflow port can roll the game ball that did not flow into the inflow port at the time of transfer to the area of the return route of the upper stage. The game balls which are arranged so as to reciprocate along the flow path and have removed the inflow to the inflow port can roll to the lower stage side via the return route without completing the game. And if it is arrange | positioned in the receiving area of the lift of a lower stage side, without being discharged | emitted from a center role out of a discharge path, it will be transferred by a lift so that it can flow in into an inflow port again. In other words, even if the game ball transferred by the lift does not flow into the inflow port that reciprocates left and right, the game ball that has been removed from the inflow port is discharged from the discharge center out of the center object. The above-described operation is replayed until it flows into the inflow port, so that the game preference can be improved.

  Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, an inflow port that reciprocates to the left and right, and a game ball around the inflow port so that the game ball can be replayed without flowing into the inflow port. Since the return route area that rolls to the stage side is disposed, the game preference when the game ball is transferred to the vicinity of the inlet by the lift can be further improved.

  And, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the game ball that is in contact with the inner periphery of the winning assist passage from at least the lower side and the left and right sides with respect to the game ball that goes to the outflow side, It is desirable to provide a guide that stabilizes the outflow direction.

  In such a configuration, the game ball that has flowed into the inflow port of the winning assistance passage can be made to flow out from the outflow port toward the winning port with an increased probability of winning the winning port. In other words, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the game ball that has flowed into the inflow port that reciprocates left and right passes through the winning auxiliary passage by reciprocating in the left-right direction of the inflow port itself when flowing into the inflow port. At this time, it tends to roll to the outlet side with a blur in the left-right direction. However, in the configuration as described above, the guide portion can be prevented from shaking the game ball in the left-right direction by contacting at least the lower side and the left and right sides with respect to the game ball toward the outlet side. Since the outflow direction of the game ball from the exit to the winning opening is stabilized, the winning probability to the winning opening can be increased, and the gaming ball can flow out from the outflow toward the winning opening.

  In this case, the prize-winning auxiliary passage is provided with a flexible cylindrical body that communicates with the inflow side so that the game ball can be guided to the guide unit side, and that can follow the lateral movement of the inflow port. May be. In such a configuration, when the game ball that has flowed in from the inflow port passes through the cylindrical body before reaching the guide portion, the rolling trajectory is not bent with a large curvature (inside the winning assistance passage). (Without linear reflection on the peripheral wall), it can be passed in a curved shape so as to suppress left and right blurring, and as much as possible, the outflow direction of the game ball is linearly stabilized before reaching the guide part. It is possible to further increase the winning probability to the winning opening through the guide section and allow the game ball to flow out from the outlet to the winning opening.

  Further, it is desirable that the lift receiving / holding portion is configured to be transferred to the upper stage side substantially immediately above the position where the game ball is received. When the game ball can be transferred almost directly above the received position without rolling greatly to the left and right when it is received by the receiving holding part and transferred to the upper stage side, with respect to the opening surface of the inlet moving to the left and right, This is because the game ball can be transferred in the orthogonal direction, and the game ball can easily flow into the inflow port.

  In this case, the lift reciprocates up and down repeatedly as a receiving holding part that receives the game ball on the lower stage side and lifts it to the upper stage side and rolls it to the inlet or return area. Although a type may be sufficient, it is good also as a rotation type which has a rotating shaft along a left-right direction and rotates. When the lift is of a rotary type, it is desirable that the lift receiving and holding portion is formed in a substantially columnar shape, and a magnet capable of attracting a game ball is disposed on the outer peripheral surface. In such a configuration, the diameter dimension can be made compact compared to the case where the receiving and holding portion is configured from a bucket or a blade capable of holding a game ball, such as other rotary type lifts. This is suitable when there is a limit to the width dimension in the direction.

  When the lift receiving / holding portion is constituted by a magnet, the magnet is arranged in a direction along the lift rotation axis, shifted in the direction around the rotation axis, or along the lift rotation axis. Thus, it can arrange | position linearly. When the magnets are arranged in a straight line so as to follow the rotation axis of the lift, the game ball can be placed at any position along the axial direction of the lift provided with the magnet in the receiving holding portion. Can be adsorbed and transferred directly above. Therefore, the position of the attracted game ball along the rotation axis direction of the lifted gaming ball is compared with the case where the magnet is disposed in a direction along the rotation axis of the lift and shifted around the axis of the rotation axis. It will be slightly different for each, and whether or not the inlet is arranged immediately above the position where the game ball is adsorbed, it can be throbbing for each adsorbed game ball, and the game's preference can be improved .

  Further, when the lift receiving and holding portion is configured to be transferred to the upper stage side substantially immediately above the position where the game ball is received, the lift receiving and holding portion is positioned in front of the receiving and holding portion in the lower stage side lift. , Movable so as to reciprocate along the left-right direction and to contact the game ball rolling on the lower stage so as to change the portion received and held by the receiving holding portion of the lift of the game ball Pieces may be provided. In such a configuration, when the game ball rolls on the lower stage and is received and held by the receiving and holding portion, it can be received at any position of the receiving and holding portion by the timing of the reciprocating movement of the inflow port on the left and right. Even if it is predicted whether it will flow into the inflow port, the actual receiving position at the receiving holding portion of the game ball is likely to flow into the inflow port due to contact with the movable piece of the game ball, or It is difficult to predict at which position it will be received and held until it is changed to a position where it does not easily flow into the inflow port and the actual transfer operation is started, so that it is possible to improve the game's preference .

It is arranged so as to be able to flow out so as to drop to the start winning opening 9, and to assist the winning to the start winning opening 9. As shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, the winning assistance passage 45 extends from the inflow port 50 disposed near the center in the left-right direction of the upper stage 20 to the back, lower, and further of the lower stage 29. The outlet 63 located below the center in the left-right direction is configured as a substantially L-shaped passage along the front-rear direction. Furthermore, the inflow port 50 of the embodiment is disposed in a reciprocating body 47 that reciprocates along the left-right direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the reciprocating body 47 is disposed in the inflow side portion 46 of the winning assist passage 45, and includes a vertical wall portion 48 disposed in the central recess 26 a of the back wall 26, and a vertical wall. Two lateral plate portions 52 and 53 extending forward from the vicinity of the lower edges of the left and right sides of the portion 48 are configured. As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 5, the inflow port 50 is configured by a concave portion 49 that is recessed from the center in the left-right direction of the vertical wall portion 48 to the rear side and that is continuous between the horizontal plate portions 52 and 53. . The opening dimension WH in the left-right direction of the inflow port 50 (see B in FIG. 4) is slightly larger than the diameter dimension of the game ball B. Furthermore, substantially rectangular plate-like partition walls 51 and 51 extending forward from the horizontal plate portions 52 and 53 are disposed on both left and right edges of the inflow port 50. These partition walls 51, 51 are arranged so as to extend to the vicinity immediately above the shaft center (rotation axis C) of the lift 65, and when the game ball B transferred from the lift 65 flows into the inlet 50. It is configured so that it is guided between the partition walls 51 and 51 and easily flows in. And the upper surface side of the horizontal plate parts 52 and 53 outside the partition walls 51 and 51 returns so that the game ball B that has not flowed into the inflow port 50 rolls to the adjacent areas 22a and 23a of the return route 42. Areas 52a and 53a are configured. The return areas 52a and 53a are configured as inclined surfaces that descend as they move away from the inflow port 50 so that the game balls B can easily roll on the adjacent areas 22a and 23a side, and are approximately in the front-rear direction of the adjacent areas 22a and 23a. It arrange | positions so that it may penetrate | invade under the trailing edge side made into the half.

  The reciprocating body 47 is disposed so as to be reciprocally movable along the left-right direction so that the inlet 50 moves to both left and right ends of the lift 65. More specifically, the left and right partition walls 51 are provided in the adjacent areas 22a and 23a so that the game balls B received and held at the left and right ends of the receiving and holding portion 67 of the lift 65 can flow into the inflow port 50. It moves back and forth in the left-right direction until it touches.

  That is, in the reciprocating body 47, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the return area 52a is configured so that the game ball B transferred onto the return areas 52a and 53a can roll to the adjacent areas 22a and 23a. , 53a are slopes that descend as they move away from the inflow port 50, and when the reciprocating movement in the left-right direction, the parts of the return areas 52a, 53a of the horizontal plate portions 52, 53 are transferred onto the return areas 52a, 53a. Is maintained in a state where it can roll to the adjacent areas 22a, 23a, and alternately enters below the adjacent areas 22a, 23a. Therefore, since the return areas 52a and 53a need to alternately enter below the adjacent areas 22a and 23a, the reciprocating body 47 has a vertical surface along the left-right direction and the vicinity of the outlet 63 in front view. The reciprocating movement along the left-right direction is caused by the pivoting movement as the center. The reciprocating body 47 is rotated by a driving force from a driving source such as a driving motor for rotating the lift 65 by a power transmission mechanism such as a gear mechanism or a cam / link mechanism (not shown). Accordingly, the decorative frame body 13 is supported so as to reciprocate in the left-right direction.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the reciprocating body 47 includes a lower edge portion 54 that is curved and extends forward on the lower end side of the left and right partition walls 51. The lower edge portion 54 is connected to the lower edge side of the concave portion 49 of the vertical wall portion 48 to form a substantially cylindrical connecting cylinder portion 55 that couples the cylindrical body 56.

  As shown in FIGS. 5, 7, and 8, the cylindrical body 56 has an upper end side coupled to the connecting cylinder portion 55 and a lower end side connected to the substantially cylindrical connecting cylinder portion 58 a of the outflow side portion 58 of the winning assist passage 45. Combined. This cylindrical body 56 guides the game ball B from the inflow side portion 46 to the outflow side portion 58 that is fixed and arranged without moving, and the reciprocating body 47 reciprocates in the left-right direction. Are formed from a flexible bellows tube made of synthetic resin or rubber or the like, or a cylindrical body such as a coil spring made of synthetic resin, rubber or metal. In the case of the embodiment, a synthetic resin bellows tube having an inner diameter dimension slightly larger than the diameter dimension of the game ball B is used.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the outflow side portion 58 of the winning assist passage 45 penetrates below the lower stage 29 along the front-rear direction and is disposed so as to incline forward and downward from the connecting cylindrical portion 58 a at the rear end. The outlet 63 opened at the front end is arranged immediately above the start winning opening 9. In the vicinity of the outflow port 63, the game ball B traveling toward the outflow port 63 is in contact with at least the lower side and the left and right sides, and the outflow direction of the game ball B toward the start winning port 9 from the outflow port 63 is determined. A stabilizing guide 59 is provided. The guide portion 59 of the embodiment has a substantially rectangular tube shape, and includes an upper ceiling wall portion 60, a bottom wall portion 61 on the lower surface side, and left and right side wall portions 62, 62. The portions 62, 62 are configured by arranging tapered surface portions 62a, 62a that narrow the width in the left-right direction toward the front and straight portions 62b, 62b that are parallel to each other in the front-rear direction. (See FIG. 7). The opening dimension WE in the left-right direction of the straight parts 62b, 62b is slightly larger than the diameter dimension of the game ball B. In this guide part 59, when the game ball B heading forward from the connecting cylinder part 58a passes between the straight parts 62b, 62b from the taper surface parts 62a, 62a, the left and right blurs are suppressed while being decelerated, It is possible to flow out (fall) from the outlet 63 toward the start winning opening 9 at a stable speed which is given a stable straightness toward the front and has a higher winning probability.

  In the case of the embodiment, the lift 65 is configured to rotate once when the reciprocating body 47 reciprocates once in the left-right direction.

  The operation of the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment will be described. When the power is turned on, the reciprocating body 47 reciprocates along the left-right direction and the lift 65 rotates backward by a drive source and a power transmission mechanism (not shown). It becomes. When the game ball B enters the entrance 17a of the warp passage 17 during the game, the game ball B rolls from the exit 17b to the lower stage 29 (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

  During this rolling, if the game ball B is received and held by the receiving and holding portion 67 of the lift 65, it is transferred to the upper stage 20 side. At that time, the inflow port 50 of the prize winning auxiliary passage 45 is reciprocating along the left-right direction, and the receiving holding portion 67 of the lift 65 has a left-right length dimension L of the inflow port 50 in the left-right direction. The game ball B that is set wider than the opening dimension WH (see B in FIG. 4) and received on the lower stage 29 side can be transferred to the upper stage 20 side in the reciprocating movement region in the left-right direction of the inflow port 50. It is arranged. Therefore, when the game ball B held by the receiving holding portion 67 of the lift 65 is transferred to the upper stage 20 side, it does not surely flow into the inlet 50 but flows into the inlet 50 (FIG. 5). Refer to) or not (see FIG. 6), the player will be throbbing. Even if the game ball B transferred by the lift 65 does not flow into the inflow port 50, the inflow port 50 transfers the game ball B that has not flowed into the inflow port 50 at the time of transfer in the area of the return route 42 of the upper stage 20. It is arranged so that it can roll to a certain return area 52a, 53a so as to reciprocate along the left-right direction, and the game ball B that has removed the inflow to the inflow port 50 does not complete the game. It can roll to the lower stage 29 side via the return areas 52a and 53a of the return route 42, adjacent areas 22a and 23b, the bottom portions 22b and 23b of the left surface portions 22 and 23, and the communication ports 43 and 43. And if it arrange | positions in the receiving area 30a of the lift 65 by the side of the lower stage 29, without being discharged | emitted from the center channel 16 (decoration frame 13) from the discharge path 40, it can flow in into the inflow port 50 again. , Transported by a lift 65. That is, even if the game ball B transferred by the lift 65 does not flow into the inflow port 50 that reciprocates left and right, the game ball B that has been removed from the inflow port 50 is moved out of the center accessory 16 from the discharge path 40. Except for the case where it is discharged, the above-described operation is replayed until it flows into the inflow port 50, so that the game preference can be improved.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the game ball B is replayed even if the game ball B does not flow into the inflow port 50 around the inflow port 50 that reciprocates to the left and right and the moving inflow port 50. Since the return areas 52a and 53a of the return route 42 that rolls to the lower stage 29 side are arranged so that the game ball B is transferred to the vicinity of the inflow port 50 by the lift 65, the game preference The property can be further improved.

  In the gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment, the game ball B heading toward the outflow port 63 is in contact with the inner periphery of the winning assist passage 45 at least from the lower side and the left and right sides. A guide portion 59 for stabilizing the outflow direction of the game ball B heading toward is arranged (see FIG. 7). Therefore, the game ball B that has flowed into the inflow port 50 of the winning assist passage 45 can be flowed out from the outflow port 63 toward the start winning port 9 with an increased winning probability to the starting winning port 9. In other words, in the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment, the game ball B that has flowed into the inflow port 50 that reciprocates left and right is reciprocated in the left-right direction of the inflow port 50 itself when flowing into the inflow port 50, so When passing through 45, it tends to roll to the outlet 63 side with a blur in the left-right direction. However, in the embodiment, the bottom wall portion 61 of the guide portion 59 and the tapered surface portions 62a of the left and right side wall portions 62 and the straight portions 62b are at least lower than the game ball B toward the outlet 63. By making contact with both the left and right sides, the game ball B can be prevented from slowing down in the left-right direction while being decelerated, and the free fall at a speed that makes it easy to win a prize. Since the outflow direction of the game ball B toward 9 is stabilized as a forward straight line, the winning probability can be increased and the game ball B can flow out from the outlet 63 toward the start winning port 9.

  As the guide portion, as in the guide portion 59A shown in FIG. 9, lip-shaped (fin shape) elastic support portions 62c, 62c made of rubber or synthetic resin having a certain degree of shape retention and elastic deformation. May be provided on the left and right side wall portions 62, 62. In such a guide portion 59A, the elastic support portions 62c and 62c are arranged so as to contact the front surface of the game ball B rolling on the bottom wall portion 61 while being bent evenly on the left and right sides. At the time of contact, the game ball B can be decelerated while imparting straight forward performance.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment, the game ball B is communicated with the winning assistance passage 45 to the inlet 50 side so that it can be guided to the guide portion 59 side, and has flexibility to follow the lateral movement of the inlet 50. A cylindrical body 56 is disposed (see FIGS. 5, 7, and 8). Therefore, in the embodiment, when the game ball B flowing in from the inflow port 50 passes through the cylindrical body 56 before reaching the guide portion 59, the rolling trajectory is not bent with a large curvature (winning) Without being reflected linearly on the inner peripheral wall of the auxiliary passage 45, it can be passed in a curved shape so as to suppress left and right blurring, and before reaching the guide portion 59, the game ball B flows out as much as possible. The direction can be linearly stabilized, and the winning probability can be further increased through the guide portion 59, so that the game ball B can flow out from the outlet 63 toward the start winning opening 9.

  Further, in the embodiment, the receiving holding portion 67 of the lift 65 can be transferred to the upper stage 20 side substantially directly above the position where the game ball B is received using the magnet 68 that attracts the game ball B. (See FIGS. 4, 5 and 6). Therefore, in the embodiment, when the ball is received by the receiving holding portion 67 and transferred to the upper stage 20 side, the game ball B can be transferred substantially right above the received position without largely rolling to the left and right. On the opening surface 50a of the inflow port 50 (in the case of the embodiment, it is a surface between the front ends of the partition walls 51 and 51 disposed near the axis (rotation axis C) of the lift 65). On the other hand, the game ball B can be transferred in the orthogonal direction, and the game ball B can easily flow into the inflow port 50.

  Particularly, in the case of the embodiment, the magnets 68 are linearly arranged along the rotation axis C of the lift 65, and in the axial direction of the lift 65 provided with the magnets 68 in the receiving holding portion 67. The game ball B can be adsorbed and transferred directly above at any position along the entire area. Therefore, the position along the axial direction of the rotation axis C of the lift 65 of the adsorbed game ball B is slightly different for each adsorbed game ball B, and the inflow port is directly above the adsorbed position of the game ball B. Whether 50 is arranged or not can be throbbing for each of the adsorbed game balls B, and the game preference can be improved. In the embodiment, the case where the magnets 68 are arranged linearly along the rotation axis C using the rod-shaped magnets 68 has been described. These magnets may be arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the rotor 66 linearly along the rotation axis C.

  If the above points are not taken into consideration, the magnets 69 and 70 are moved around the axis of the rotation axis C in the direction along the rotation axis C of the lift 65B as in the lift 65B of the gaming machine 1B shown in FIGS. You may arrange | position by shifting in a direction. In the case of the illustrated example, the disc-shaped magnet 69 is shifted by 120 ° in the axial direction near the center in the axial direction of the left side 67a and the right side 67b of the receiving holding part 67 of the lift 65. The two disc-shaped magnets 70 are disposed in the vicinity of the center in the axial direction of the central portion 67c of the receiving and holding portion 67 by being shifted by 180 ° in the direction around the axis. The magnets 69 of the left side portion 67a and the right side portion 67b are disposed at angular positions that coincide with the direction around the axis of the lift 65B, but each magnet 70 of the central portion 67c has one magnet 70. The two magnets 69 and the lift 65B are disposed at angular positions that coincide with the direction around the axis. In such a lift 65B, unlike the lift 65 of the embodiment, the game ball B cannot be attracted at any position along the axial direction of the lift 65 provided with the magnet 68 in the receiving holding portion 67, and the magnet 69 , 70 is attracted to the game ball B and transferred to the upper stage 20 side. In contrast to the lift 65, the lift 65B, on the contrary, is a position where the game ball B of the receiving holding portion 67 is attracted to the position of the magnets 69 and 70, and thus the position where the game ball B is attracted. It becomes easy to predict whether or not the inflow port 50 is arranged immediately above. Note that the number of the magnets 69 and 70 and the arrangement position of the lift 65B in the direction around the axis may be changed as appropriate.

  In the embodiment, the partition walls 27 and 28 are fixed to the stage unit 19. However, as in the gaming machine 1C shown in FIGS. 12 to 17, the game ball B to the receiving holding unit 67 of the lift 65 is shown. It is good also as a structure which moves the movable pieces 72 and 77 approximated to the partition wall 28 so that the receiving position may be changed.

  In this gaming machine 1C, movable pieces 72 and 77 are disposed on the front side of the lift 65 on the lower stage 29 side. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, each movable piece 72, 77 reciprocates along the left-right direction, contacts the game ball B rolling on the lower stage 29, and receives the lift 65 of the game ball B. The part received and held by the holding part 67 is changed. Specifically, the movable pieces 72 and 77 reciprocate so as to approach and separate from each other along the left-right direction, and when approaching each other, as shown in FIG. 14A and FIG. 15A, Covering the front sides of the left and right side portions (left side portion 67a and right side portion 67b) of the receiving holding portion 67 and opening the front side of the central portion 67c in the left and right direction of the receiving holding portion 67, and when separated from each other, FIG. As shown in C and B of FIG. 15, the entire area on the front side of the receiving holding portion 67 is opened.

  The left and right movable pieces 72 and 77 are disposed on movable bodies 71 and 76 integrally connected with decorative bodies 74 and 79 that approximate the partition walls 27 and 27, respectively, and together with the decorative bodies 74 and 79. As a substantially semi-disc shape with a cloud-shaped design, it protrudes upward from slits 19a, 19b, 19c extending left and right between the upper stage 20 and the lower stage 29 (see FIGS. 12 and 13). . Each of the movable bodies 71 and 76 is configured by connecting the movable pieces 72 and 77 and the decorative bodies 74 and 79 by connecting collar portions 73 and 78 (see FIG. 16A and FIG. 17A). The connecting collar portion 73 connects the movable piece 72 on the left side of the lift 65 and the decorative body 74 disposed in the vicinity of the communication port 43 on the right surface portion 23 side on the lower side of the lower stage 29. In addition, the connecting collar portion 78 connects the movable piece 77 on the right side of the lift 65 and the decorative body 79 disposed near the communication port 43 on the left surface portion 22 side on the lower side of the lower stage 29.

  These movable bodies 71 and 76 are formed substantially symmetrical with each other, and reciprocate along the left-right direction by the rotation of a rotating cam (not shown).

  Incidentally, when the movable body 71 is reciprocated, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the movable piece 72 covers the front side of the left side portion 67a and does not hide the front side of the central portion 67c. In this case, the decorative body 74 closes the front side of the communication port 43 on the right surface portion 23 side, and moves to the right end side when moving to the left end side. When moved, the communication port 43 is opened. When the decorative body 74 closes the front side of the communication port 43 on the right surface part 23 side, in the case of the embodiment, the right movable piece 77 is moved to the right end side, and the communication on the right surface part 23 side is performed. The front side of the mouth 43 is closed by two layers by the decorative body 74 and the vicinity of the right edge of the movable piece 77.

  Further, when the movable body 76 is reciprocated, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 15B, the movable piece 77 covers the front side of the right side portion 67b and does not hide the front side of the central portion 67c. The decorative body 79, when moved to the right end side, closes the front side of the communication port 43 on the left surface portion 22 side, and moves to the left end side. When moved, the communication port 43 is opened. Note that when the decorative body 79 closes the front side of the communication port 43 on the left surface portion 22 side, in the case of the embodiment, the left movable piece 72 has moved to the left end side, and the communication on the left surface portion 22 side. The front side of the mouth 43 is closed by two layers by the decorative body 79 and the vicinity of the left edge of the movable piece 72.

  Each of these movable bodies 71 and 76 includes a drive motor or the like in which a rotary cam (not shown) uses a power transmission mechanism such as a gear mechanism or a link mechanism to reciprocate the reciprocating movable body 47 or rotationally drive the lift 65. When the drive source is activated, the reciprocating movement of the reciprocating body 47 and the movable bodies 71 and 76 along the left-right direction and the rotation of the lift 65 are operated in conjunction with each other. It is configured as follows.

  Incidentally, in this gaming machine 1C, when the reciprocating moving body 47 reciprocates once in the left-right direction, the movable bodies 71, 76 also reciprocate once in the left-right direction, and the lift 65 makes one rotation. However, the timing and period of movement of the reciprocating body 47 and the movable bodies 71 and 76 may be changed as appropriate.

  In this gaming machine 1C, a reciprocating movement along the left-right direction is provided on the front side of the receiving holding portion 67 of the lift 65 on the lower stage 29 side, and the receiving holding portion 67 of the lift 65 of the game ball B is provided. Movable pieces 72 and 77 that are in contact with the game ball B rolling on the lower stage 29 are arranged so as to change the portion that is received and held by the player. Therefore, when the game ball B rolls on the lower stage 29 and is received and held by the magnet 68 of the reception holding portion 67, the game ball B flows into the inlet 50, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, the game ball B may be transferred to the return area 53a that is rolled to the return route. In this gaming machine 1C, even if it is predicted at which position of the receiving holding portion 67 that the inflow port 50 will flow into the inflow port 50 according to the timing of the left and right reciprocation of the inflow port 50, the gaming ball The actual receiving position at the receiving holding portion of B is in a position where it is easy to flow into the inflow port 50 due to contact with the movable pieces 72 and 77 of the game ball B, or a position where it is difficult to flow into the inflow port 50. Until it is changed and the actual transfer operation is started, it is difficult to predict at which position it is received and held, so that it is possible to improve the game preference.

  In this gaming machine 1C, a lift 65B shown in FIG. 10 may be used. In this case, the position of the magnet 69 on the left side portion 67a or the right side portion 67b of the lift 65B depends on whether the position at which the game ball B is attracted is covered by the movable pieces 72, 77 or not. Or the position of the magnet 70 in the central portion 67c or greatly deviates, so it is difficult to predict at which position it will be received and held until the actual transfer operation is started. The preference can be improved.

  In addition, in the gaming machine 1C shown in FIGS. 12 to 17, decorative bodies 74 and 79 that protrude on the stage 19 and reciprocate left and right in conjunction with the movable pieces 72 and 77 are connected to the movable pieces 72 and 77. Arranged. The decorative bodies 74 and 79 of the embodiment are provided with a design such as a cloud shape together with the movable pieces 72 and 77. For this reason, in the gaming machine 1C, the reciprocating movement of the movable pieces 72, 77 and the decorative bodies 74, 79 along the left-right direction further enhances the effect of the stage 19 as well as the reciprocating movement of the reciprocating moving body 47. You can also.

  Further, in the above-described gaming machines 1, 1B, 1C, as a lift for receiving and holding the game ball B, it rotates with the rotation axis C along the left-right direction, and the magnets 68, 69, 70 are received and held The rotary type lifts (rotary lifts) 65 and 65B used in No. 67 are exemplified, but as other rotary type lifts that can transfer the game ball B almost directly, the receiving holding portion can hold the game ball. It may be composed of a simple bucket or blade. However, if the receiving and holding portion 67 is configured to have a substantially cylindrical shape and the magnets 68, 69, and 70 that can attract the game ball B are arranged on the outer peripheral surface like the lifts 65 and 65B, the receiving portion 67 Compared to the case where the stop holding portion is configured from a bucket or a blade capable of holding a game ball, the diameter size can be made compact, and this is suitable when the width dimension in the front-rear direction of the stage portion 19 is limited.

  In addition, as a lift for receiving and holding the game ball, the upper surface side receives the game ball B on the lower stage 29 side and moves it up to the upper stage 20 side so as to roll to the inlet 50 and adjacent areas 22a and 23a. It is good also as an up-and-down reciprocating movement type which repeats an up-and-down movement as a receiving holding part.

  In the embodiment, the guide portion 59 and the cylindrical body 56 are provided. However, the guide portion 59 may be configured without the tapered surface portion 62a and the straight portion 62b, or the cylindrical body 56 may be provided. You may comprise. As a configuration in this case, as shown in the gaming machine 1D shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the upper stage 20 and the upper stage 20 are connected so as to communicate from the inflow port 50D to the outflow side portion 58 without providing the connecting cylinder portions 55 and 58a. An internal space provided below the lower stage 29 may be configured as the winning assist passage 45. In such a configuration, the game ball B adsorbed by the lift 65 and flowing into the inflow port 50D is separated from the lift 65 by the horizontal plate portion 57 or the weight, and dropped to the outflow side portion 58 side, and the outflow port. It will flow out from 63 toward the start winning opening 9.

  Further, as in the above gaming machine 1D, the structure of the inflow port 50D that reciprocates along the left-right direction of the winning assist passage 45 includes a vertical wall 48D as a reciprocating body 47D that reciprocates up and down. A through-hole 48a that penetrates and extends in an oblique direction is provided, and a horizontal plate portion 57 that descends left and right is provided on the upper rear side of the lift 65 in the central portion 21 of the upper stage 20, and the upper surface side of the horizontal plate portion 57 is You may comprise as the return area 57a used also as a guide surface. The opening dimension in the left-right direction of the through hole 48a is set to a dimension that allows one game ball B to be inserted. In this gaming machine 1D, the vertical wall portion 48D of the reciprocating moving body 47D reciprocates up and down on the rear edge 57b side of the horizontal plate portion 57, and is located near the rear edge 57b of the horizontal plate portion 57 in the through hole 48a. However, it becomes the inflow port 50D that reciprocates substantially in the left-right direction. That is, the inlet 50D in the vicinity of the rear edge 57b is arranged on the left side 67a side of the lift 65, for example, if the vertical wall portion 48D is arranged at the highest position as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 19A, when the vertical wall portion 48D is disposed at the lowest position, the inflow port 50D is disposed on the right side 67b side of the lift 65, and the vertical wall portion 48D is moved up and down. The inflow port 50D that substantially allows the game ball B to flow into the winning assist passage 45 reciprocates in the left-right direction, and the inflow port 50D may be configured in this way.

  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.
