3] The opportunity to switch the winning opening main body 21 of the normal winning opening device 15 to the advance position is not limited to passing the game ball P through the gate. For example, a random number lottery may be used to randomly switch to the advance position, or a detector that detects the rotation of the windmill 10a may be provided to switch to the advance position according to the rotation of the windmill 10a.
Moreover, the mode of switching to the advance position is not limited to a plurality of advance / retreat movements, and is held at the advance position for a predetermined time, or the adjacent winning opening main body 21 is moved forward / backward a plurality of times, The other position may be switched to the retracted position at the advance position, or may be moved back and forth in synchronism.

  4] As shown in FIG. 8, the lower end portion of the rear end plate 21b is formed so as not to protrude downward from the passage forming member 26, and closes the lower surface side of the passage hole 21b when the winning hole main body 21 is in the retracted position. An extension plate 23 b is integrally formed on the bottom wall of the guide tube 23. As a result, the game ball P that has won the normal winning slot 15a immediately before the winning slot main body 21 is switched from the advance position to the retracted position does not flow to the passing hole 23a and may fall from the passing hole 21a to the back side space of the gaming board 4. There is no.

  5] As shown in FIG. 9, the lower end portion of the rear end plate 21b is formed so as not to protrude downward from the passage forming member 26A, the passage forming member 26A is extended rearward, and the upper surface wall of the passage forming member 26A A through hole 26b through which the game ball P can pass is formed. As a result, the game ball P that has won the normal winning opening 15a immediately before the winning opening main body 21 is switched from the advanced position to the retracted position does not flow to the passing hole 23a, but passes from the passing hole 21a to the discharge passage 26a. Since it flows, there is no possibility of falling from the passage hole 21a into the back space of the game board 4.

6] In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to the normal prize opening device 15, but the present invention can also be applied to the gate 12, the start prize opening device 11 for opening and closing the start prize opening 11b, and the like.
7] In the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 classified as the first type pachinko machine, but the present invention is applied to the prize opening device of the pachinko gaming machine classified as the second type pachinko machine called the wing mono.

As shown in FIG. 10 to FIG. 14, the normal prize opening device 30 is configured as an electric accessory that operates when the game ball P passes through the gate 12, and a plurality of normal prize opening devices 30 are provided on the game board 4. It is provided in the lower left part.

  Each of the ordinary prize opening devices 30 controls a prize opening main body 21, a guide cylinder 23, a collar member 32, a movement driving mechanism that moves and drives the prize opening main body 21, and a collar moving mechanism that moves and drives the collar member 32. And a general driving mechanism 33 for driving automatically, and a normal winning opening switch for detecting the game ball P won in the normal winning opening 15a. As shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, the prize opening main body 21, the guide tube body 23, and the passage forming member 26 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus the same reference numerals are given and the description is omitted.

  The heel member 32 is a rectangular plate-like member that is elongated in the front-rear direction in a side view, and is provided in the vicinity of the upper side of the prize-winning body 21, and is orthogonal to the board surface 4c from the sliding hole 36 formed in the game board 4. When the winning opening main body 21 is in the retracted position, the protruding position protrudes forward from the board surface 4c (see FIGS. 11 and 13), and when the winning opening main body 21 is in the advanced position, it does not protrude from the board surface 4c. The position is switchable over the position (see FIGS. 12 and 14).

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the overall drive mechanism 33 is provided behind the game board 4. The overall drive mechanism 33 is a common drive mechanism that moves and drives the prize opening main body 21, a saddle movement mechanism that moves and drives the saddle member 32, and a link mechanism 34 that interlocks and connects the movement drive mechanism and the saddle movement mechanism. Two solenoid actuators 38.

  The drive rod 37 is formed in the shape of a square bar having a predetermined length in the front-rear direction, the front end thereof is fixed to the rear end of the flange member 32, and the rear end thereof is fixed to the output shaft 38 a of the solenoid actuator 38. Is configured to be movable by a predetermined stroke. The driven rod 39 is formed in the shape of a square bar having a predetermined length in the front-rear direction, and its front end is fixed to the rear end of the prize-winning body 21.

The link mechanism 34 includes a link member 51 pivotally supported by a support member 53 fixed to the game board 4 by a horizontal pivot shaft 52 in the left-right direction.
Long holes 51b and 51c that are long in the length direction of the link member 51 are formed at both ends of the link member 51, and tip portions of the operation pins 54 and 55 are engaged with the long holes 51b and 51c, respectively. The base ends of the operating pins 54 and 55 protruding leftward from the link member 51 are fixed to the driving rod 37 and the driven rod 39, respectively. The driving rod 37 and the driven rod 39 are linked to the operating pins 37 and 39. It is connected via a member 51.

  As described above, since the operating pins 54 and 55 are engaged with the long holes 51b and 51c formed in the link member 51, the link member 51, the drive rod 37, and the driven rod 39 are interlockedly connected. By moving the drive rod 37 back and forth in the front-rear direction by 38, the drive rod 37 can be driven in the state of FIG. 13 and the state of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the solenoid actuator 38 is energized and driven (excited state), the output shaft 38a extended from the solenoid actuator 38 is retracted, and the drive rod 37 is retracted by a predetermined stroke in conjunction with this retracting operation. 11 and FIG. 13 where the flange member 32 protrudes from the board surface 4c is set back to the receding position shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 14 which is retracted in the direction orthogonal to the board surface 4c and does not protrude from the board surface 4c.

The operation of the drive rod 37 is transmitted to the driven rod 39 via the link member 51, and the winning opening main body 21 is moved to the retracted position (FIG. 11) in parallel with the switching of the collar member 32 from the advanced position to the retracted position. , See FIG. 13) to the advance position (see FIGS. 12 and 14).
When the winning opening main body 31 reaches the advance position, the front portion of the winning opening main body 31 protrudes forward from the board surface 4c, and the normal winning opening 30a protruding forward from the board surface 4c is formed. The game ball P that has won the normal prize opening 30a flows to the game ball discharge passage 26a through the passage hole 21a and the passage hole 23a, and is detected by the normal prize opening switch and then guided to the discharge mechanism.

  The control system of this pachinko gaming machine 1A is the same as the control system shown in FIG. 7 of the first embodiment, but instead of the normal winning opening solenoid 24, an ordinary winning opening solenoid 38 is connected, and the normal winning opening SW 15c is connected. Instead, a normal winning opening switch is connected.

The operational effects of the pachinko gaming machine 1A of the second embodiment described above will be described.
The actions and effects of the position-changing of the winning opening main body 21 between the advance position and the retracted position are the same as in the first embodiment (see paragraphs [0045] and [0046]).
The scissors member 32 is provided so as to be switchable between the advancing position and the retracted position, and when the winning opening main body 21 is in the advanced position, the scissor member 32 is switched to the retracting position. Since the upper part of is open, the normal prize opening device 30 functions normally.

  When the base member 32 is in the advanced position, it is configured to cover the upper part of the front surface of the winning hole body 21 in the retracted position. There will be no hindrance to the advancing / retreating movement of the winning opening main body 21 due to the occurrence of a brush. When the heel member 32 is in the advanced position, the game ball P that collides with the upper surface of the heel member 32 is guided upward or laterally, and the time until the game ball P is discharged to the out port 19 becomes longer. . Since the flange member 32 is switched between the advanced position and the retracted position, the novelty is excellent.

  Since the movement drive mechanism and the heel movement mechanism are linked and linked by the link mechanism 34 and driven by a common solenoid actuator 38, the heel member 32 is advanced and retracted in conjunction with the advance / retreat operation of the prize opening main body 31 with a simple mechanism. It can be operated.

Next, a modified example in which the second embodiment is partially modified will be described.
1] In the second embodiment, the output shaft 38a of the solenoid actuator 38 is fixed to the drive rod 37. However, the solenoid actuator 38 is fixed to the driven rod 39 as in the normal prize opening device 30A shown in FIG. Good.

2] In the normal prize opening device 30B shown in FIG. 16, a solenoid actuator 60 for driving a movement driving mechanism for moving the winning prize opening main body 21 forward and backward is provided, and a solenoid actuator 61 for driving a hook moving mechanism for moving the hook member 32a forward and backward. In addition, a solenoid actuator 61 separate from the solenoid actuator 60 may be provided.
In this case, the front end of the output shaft 60a of the solenoid actuator 60 is directly fixed to the rear end portion of the award opening main body 31, and the front end of the output shaft 61a of the solenoid actuator 61 is directly fixed to the rear end portion of the collar member 32a. There is no need to provide a link mechanism.
