Description

  The present invention relates to a prize winning device arranged on a game board surface of a pachinko gaming machine.

The pachinko gaming machine draws a special symbol in accordance with the establishment of the starting condition that a game ball wins at the starting winning opening, and based on the lottery result, three symbols such as “777” are displayed on the symbol display device. It is configured to shift to a big hit state which is a special game state by stopping at a uniform symbol.
In recent pachinko machines, there are several types of jackpots. For example, the big prize opening is opened for a certain period, or a specified number of game balls are won in the big prize opening. There is a long hit in which a predetermined number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds) of opening operations are repeated, with one opening operation (this one opening operation is called one round).
In addition to the above-mentioned long hits, the opening time of the big prize opening is extremely short (for example, 0.4 seconds), and there are short hits as few as two.

In the long win, after the jackpot game ends, as a bonus game, a high-probability game in which the winning probability of the jackpot is higher than a normal game (low-probability game) and a time-reduced game in which the probability of establishing a special symbol start condition is increased (Called "short-time game"), and the winning probability of winning with a high probability of short-time and jackpot winning probability has a per-long normal short-time with only a predetermined number of short-time games in a low-probability gaming state .
On the other hand, for short wins, after winning the jackpot game, as a bonus game, both the high-probability game and short-time game with both high-probability time and short-term wins, and the winning probability of the jackpot remains in the low-probability game state for a predetermined number of times. There is a short win with a normal time with only a short-time game, or a short win without a normal time with no bonus game.

Short wins with high probability shortening time is extremely short because the opening time per winning prize is extremely short, so it is not possible to expect a hit by a big hit, but after a big hit, the gaming state with high probability shortening (so-called probability fluctuation state) Migrate to Therefore, the short win with high probability time is called “surprise (sudden probability change) jackpot” in order to give the player a feeling as if the player has suddenly changed to the probability change gaming state.
Similarly, the short win with normal time is called “sudden (sudden short fluctuation) big hit” in order to give the player a feeling as if it has suddenly shifted to the short-time game state. , Is called “rush (suddenly normal) jackpot”.

In addition, some recent pachinko machines have short wins with high probability short / short short hits that are given only high probability games without giving short time games. This high probability short / short short hit does not actively inform the player that the high probability state, so that the player knows whether it is a high probability game state or a normal game state. Is in a state where high probability games are hidden. For this reason, high probability short / short short hits are called “latency probability variation big hits”.
Furthermore, although it is a kind of loser, there is a small hit where the big prize opening operates like a short win. By providing such a small hitting function together with the short hits described above, it becomes difficult for the player to determine whether it is a short hit or a small hit and makes the player guess the subsequent gaming state. The game is realized.

In addition, the configuration of the big prize device arranged on the game board surface of the pachinko gaming machine is disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 and the like. The grand prize winning devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are supported in the vertical direction by a horizontally long big prize opening communicating with a guide chamber provided inside, and a shaft provided along the lower edge of the big prize winning opening. It is equipped with an opening and closing plate that opens and closes the winning prize opening and a solenoid that drives the opening and closing plate, and in a big hit state, the opening and closing plate is tilted forward to open the winning prize opening, and the game ball that has flowed down the game board surface Receive it on the back of the opening and closing plate and guide it to the rear guide chamber. Thereafter, the opening / closing plate is closed at the stage of transition to a predetermined gaming state.
Further, in Patent Document 3, a movable member is provided so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction with respect to the mounting substrate, and a special region in which one sphere can be reserved is provided in the movable member. When a specific condition is satisfied, the movable member protrudes to the front surface of the mounting board, holds one ball flowing down the game section in the special area, and the movable member returns. In addition, a winning device is proposed in which a ball held in a special area is taken in.

FIG. 3A is a schematic perspective view in a non-open state, and FIG. 3B shows the backward movement of the advance / retreat member. FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 3 (a), the grand prize winning device 1 wins a big prize on the front surface of the base member 2 arranged on the substantially same surface as the board surface of the game board 10 on which the game balls flow down. A mouth 3 is formed. As a guide member for guiding the game ball flowing down from above to the side avoiding the big prize opening 3, a basket 4 made of a plastic material such as polycarbonate is arranged at the upper position of the big prize opening 3. . The kite 4 may be formed using a game nail or using the electric chew 14 of the variable winning device 12.

In addition, a slit 5 is formed in the front surface of the base member 2 below the special winning opening 3 so that a flat plate-like advance / retreat member 6 having a lateral length beyond the special winning opening 3 can be projected and retracted. It is configured. That is, the advance / retreat member 6 is configured to be movable back and forth between a protruding position protruding forward from the slit 5 shown in FIG. 2A and a retracted position retracted in the slit 5 shown in FIG. Yes. The advancing / retreating member 6 is configured to protrude in a state where the front end edge side is inclined higher than the rear end edge side.
The advance / retreat member 6 is formed with a game ball holding portion 7 for temporarily holding a game ball flowing down from above at the protruding position shown in FIG. In this case, the game ball holding portions 7 are respectively formed at the lateral positions on the left and right sides of the big winning opening 3 of the advance / retreat member 6.
The game ball holding portion 7 is formed at the front end edge of the advance / retreat member 6, and the shape thereof is configured by a U-shaped hole opened on the front end edge side. Note that the game ball holding portion 7 is not necessarily formed on both sides of the advance / retreat member 6, and may be formed only on either side of the special winning opening 3.

Next, the winning / non-winning operation of the game ball in the large winning device according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
4A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 4B, and FIG. 4B is a front view of the big prize device according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B of the winning device shown in FIG. 4B. FIG. 5A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B when the advancing / retreating member is in the protruding position. These are BB sectional drawings when an advancing / retreating member exists in a pair retreat position.
As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, when the advancing / retracting member 6 of the grand prize winning device 1 is in the protruding position, the game ball P1 that first arrives on the advancing / retreating member 6 is temporarily stored in the game ball holding unit 7. Retained. After the game ball P1 is held by the game ball holding unit 7, the game ball P2 that has flowed down onto the advance / retreat member 6 collides with the game ball P1 held by the game ball holding unit 7, and then wins a big prize. It rolls on the advancing and retracting member 6 on the mouth 3 side and is guided to the inside of the grand prize winning mouth 3. The game ball P2 guided into the big prize opening 3 passes through the big prize opening SW3a for detecting a prize and is then discharged to the outside.

Further, when the advancing / retreating member 6 moves from the protruding position shown in FIG. 5 (a) to the retracted position shown in FIG. 5 (b) with the gaming ball P1 temporarily held in the game ball holding part 7, The game ball P1 held by the game ball holding unit 7 interferes with the front surface of the base member 2 and falls downward as shown in FIG. 5B. That is, the game ball P <b> 1 held by the game ball holding unit 7 is configured to be released to the game board surface 10 without winning the big prize opening 3.
When the grand prize winning device 1 is configured as described above, when the advance / retreat member 6 disposed below the special prize opening 3 is in the projecting position, the first game ball P1 flowing down on the advance / retreat member 6 from above is a game. It is temporarily held by the ball holding unit 7. The game ball P1 held by the game ball holding unit 7 is configured to interfere with the front surface of the base member 2 and drop downward when the advance / retreat member 6 moves backward from the protruding position to the retracted position. Therefore, when the period during which the advance / retreat member 6 is in the projecting position is short, the game ball P2 that has flowed down onto the advance / retreat member 6 next collides with the game ball P1 held by the game ball holding portion 7 to cause the big prize opening 3 The possibility that the advancing / retracting member 6 moves back to the retracted position before being guided inward is increased, and the game ball P2 can be prevented from winning the big winning opening 3.
On the other hand, when the period during which the advancing / retreating member 6 is in the protruding position is long, the game ball P2 flowing down from above collides with the game ball P1 temporarily held in the game ball holding portion 7, and the big winning opening 3 Since the game ball is guided inward, it is possible to easily win the game ball in the big winning opening 3.

Further, in the above-described big winning device 1, the game ball holding portion 7 is configured by a U-shaped hole, so that the game ball holding portion 7 is temporarily held when the advancing / retracting member 6 is retracted from the protruding position to the retracted position. The played game ball P1 can be easily dropped onto the game board. In the present embodiment, the case where the game ball holding unit 7 is configured by a U-shaped hole has been described as an example. However, the configuration of the game ball holding unit 7 is not limited to the U-shaped hole, and the advance / retreat member 6 is in a protruding position. As long as the held game ball can be reliably dropped below the game board when retreating from the retracted position to the retracted position, for example, a concave shape may be used, or a magnet may be used.
By the way, in the above-described big winning device 1, since the big winning opening 3 is always open, even when the advancing / retracting member 6 is in the retracted position, that is, even when the big winning opening 3 is in the non-opened state, it flows down from above. There is a risk that the game ball that has been hit will collide with a nail or the like and win the big prize opening 3.
Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a shielding member 9 may be provided at the front end edge of the advance / retreat member 6 and at a position corresponding to at least the special winning opening 3. If the advance / retreat member 6 is configured in this way, it is possible to prevent the game ball from winning the big winning opening 3 when the advance / retreat member 6 is in the retracted position.

Next, a big prize device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

In the grand prize winning device 30 configured as described above, when the opening / closing member 31 is in the open position, the first game ball that has reached the opening / closing member 31 from above is temporarily stored in the game ball holding portion 32 of the opening / closing member 31. Retained. When the next game ball flows down on the opening / closing member 31 with the game ball held by the game ball holding unit 32, the game ball collides with the game ball held by the game ball holding unit 32. Then, it rolls on the opening / closing member 31 on the side of the big prize opening 3 and is guided to the inside of the big prize opening 3.

The opening / closing member 31 holds the game ball when the game ball is held in the game ball holding portion 32 and is rotated from the open state shown in FIG. 7A to the closed state shown in FIG. 7B. The game ball held by the portion 32 is configured to interfere with the front surface of the base member 2 and fall downward. That is, the game ball held in the game ball holding portion 32 of the opening / closing member 31 is configured to be released to the front surface of the game board without winning the big winning opening 3.
Therefore, even in the case where the big winning device 30 is configured in this way, if the period during which the opening / closing member 31 is in the open state is short, the game ball that has flowed down onto the opening / closing member 31 next is held in the game ball holding portion 32. Since the opening / closing member 31 is closed before the game ball collides with the game ball and is guided into the big prize opening 3, it is possible to prevent the game ball from winning the big prize opening 3.
On the other hand, when the period in which the opening / closing member 31 is in the open state is long, the game balls flowing down from above collide with the game balls held in the game ball holding unit 32 and are guided into the big prize opening 3, The game ball can be easily won in the big prize opening 3.
In the special winning device 30, when the opening / closing member 31 is closed, the special winning opening 3 is closed by the opening / closing member 31, so that the game ball does not win the special winning opening 3.

Corresponds to "big hit".

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the opening timing of the big winning opening at the time of various jackpots or jackpots in the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment.
In this case, when the big hit such as 15R probability variation jackpot, the round movement of the advance / retract member 6 of the big winning device 1 is long (for example, 29 seconds) as a 15R jackpot. The jackpot operation is repeated 15 times (15R).
On the other hand, in the case of a short hit such as a short hit with a high probability, the round operation of the advancing / retreating member 6 of the winning device 1 is extremely short (for example, 0.8 seconds) as a 2R big hit, and the round operation is 1.5. For example, the random operation is repeated twice (2R) at a second interval.
Further, at the time of small hitting, the small hitting operation is repeated, for example, twice at intervals of 1.5 seconds, for example, the projection time per one time of the advancing / retreating member 6 of the big winning device 1 is extremely short like the short hit.

In the pachinko gaming machine 100 of the present embodiment, when the big hit operation or the small hit operation shown in FIG. 9 is performed, the game ball held by the game ball holding portion 7 when the advance / retreat member 6 is in the protruding position is Since the advancing / retracting member 6 falls when retreating from the protruding position to the retracted position, it is possible to prevent the game ball from winning the big winning opening 3 at the time of 2R big hit or small hit. On the other hand, in the case of 15R big hit, the game ball that has flowed down collides with the game ball held in the game ball holding unit 7 and is guided into the big prize opening 3, and the game ball is promptly guided to the big prize opening 3 can do.
