Description

  The present invention relates to a game ball sorting device used in a pachinko machine, and more particularly, to a game ball sorting device that sorts game balls that have won a prize inside an accessory.

  Generally, in a pachinko machine called a winged object, when a game ball wins at the start opening, a wing (movable also called a center hero, variable winning device, etc.) provided in the center of the game area The member, the movable piece) can be opened and closed so that the game ball can win a prize from the winning opening. The winning game balls are distributed to either the V winning opening or the lost opening by a game ball distributing device provided in the inside of the accessory. When a game ball enters the V winning opening, it shifts to a jackpot gaming state, and the blades open and close for a predetermined period to accept the game ball, so that the player can acquire many prize balls. On the other hand, when a game ball enters the lose mouth, there are only a few prize balls and the game does not enter the big hit game state.

  As such a game ball distribution device, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, there is a structure called a so-called croon. This croon has a mortar shape that is gently inclined so that the central portion is lowered, and a plurality of holes are provided in the central portion. Then, the game ball that has entered the croon vigorously rolls as it turns around the croon while drawing a circle, and when the momentum gradually declines, it enters any of the plurality of holes. When a Kroon is mounted in a shuttlecock machine of a feather wing, usually one of the holes is a hole that is advantageous to the player, that is, a hole that has a high probability of entering the V prize opening. When a game ball enters the V prize opening, the game shifts to a jackpot game state, so that the player expects to enter an advantageous hole while watching the game ball spinning around, Enjoy.

JP 2004-254959 A (FIG. 3 etc.)

  However, in the above prior art, since the croon is fixed, the probability of entering an advantageous hole is constant. Accordingly, the probability that a game ball will enter the V prize opening is also constant. That is, if there are three holes provided in the central part of the croon, and one of them is an advantageous hole, the probability of entering this advantageous hole is 1/3, and the game that has entered the advantageous hole. The probability that the ball will enter the V prize opening is also automatically determined. In this way, the probability that a game ball will enter the V winning opening is determined by the structure of the Kroon, so that it is a fact that it is no longer interesting for players who are used to games.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to change the probability of game balls being distributed to the V winning opening, and the player can enjoy the game with excitement and excitement. An object of the present invention is to provide a game ball sorting device that can be used.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a gaming ball distribution device that is arranged inside an accessory having a winning opening and a movable member that opens and closes the winning opening, and distributes gaming balls that have won the winning opening. A V winning opening which is provided at the bottom of the accessory and moves into a gaming state advantageous to the player as compared with a normal game ball by entering the game ball; and the bottom adjacent to the V winning opening. A losing port provided in the game, and a cron that is provided at a height position between the bottom of the accessory and the winning port, and distributes the game balls won from the winning port to either the V winning port or the losing port The croon has a concave portion that is recessed in a mortar shape, a dropping hole that is provided at the bottom of the concave portion and into which a game ball can drop, and a lid that opens and closes the dropping hole. A first horizontal posture with the opening of the recess facing upward; The opening of the concave portion is pivotally supported so as to be rotatable around a horizontal axis so that the posture is selectively switched to a second horizontal posture in which the opening portion is directed downward, and the lid body is provided with the first horizontal posture. When it is in the posture, it moves to the position where the drop hole is opened by its own weight, while when it is in the second horizontal posture, it moves to the position where the drop hole is closed by its own weight. In addition, the lid is provided with a guide portion that guides the game ball so that the game ball dropped from the drop hole rolls toward the V winning opening.

  In the gaming ball sorting apparatus configured as described above, when the croon is in the first horizontal posture, the falling hole provided in the bottom of the crune is opened by the dead weight of the lid, so that it enters the croon. The game ball that rolls down on the surface of the concave portion that is recessed in the shape of a mortar and falls downward from the drop hole when the momentum decreases. Since the lid is provided with a guide portion that guides the game ball to roll toward the V prize opening, the game ball is highly likely to win the V prize in the state where the croon is in the first horizontal posture. It will enter the mouth.

  On the other hand, when the croon is in the second horizontal posture, the opening of the recess faces downward, and the lid closes the drop hole by its own weight, so that the game ball rolls on the outer surface even when it comes to the croon It can only fall. That is, in this second horizontal posture, the game ball does not fall downward through (passes through) the drop hole, so that it does not roll toward the V winning opening by the guide portion of the lid, and the game ball Is unlikely to enter the V prize opening.

  Therefore, according to this invention, even if it is a game ball distribution apparatus using a croon, if the horizontal attitude | position of a croon is switched, a change can be given to the distribution probability of the game ball to V winning opening. Furthermore, the present invention has a structure in which the lid body opens and closes the drop hole with its own weight only by rotating the croon by the driving device, so there is no need to separately provide driving means for moving the lid body. This is particularly suitable for installation in a restricted pachinko machine accessory.

  Any configuration in which the game ball is guided so as to roll toward the V prize opening is included in the “guide portion” in the present invention. For example, a tilted surface is provided on the lid, and the game ball is formed by this tilted surface. Is inclined toward the V winning opening, this inclined surface becomes the guide portion of the present invention. Further, a configuration in which a rail or a groove is provided in the lid and a game ball rolls on the rail or groove goes to the V winning award corresponds to the guide portion of the present invention.

  Further, in the above configuration, the croon is provided so as to surround the periphery of the opening of the concave portion, and has a ring-shaped game ball rolling path on which the game ball rolls, and the game ball rolling path includes It is preferable that a plurality of through holes through which game balls fall are formed.

  According to such a configuration, the game ball falls from the through hole while rotating around the game ball rolling path, so that the game ball can be distributed before entering the recess of the croon. In other words, a game ball that has entered the recess of the Kroon falls from the drop hole and enters the V winning opening with high probability, but falls from a plurality of through holes while rolling on the game ball rolling path around the recess. Since there is no guidance to the V winning opening, the probability that the game ball will enter the V winning opening is low. Therefore, by adopting this configuration, even when the croon is in the first horizontal posture, the game ball appropriately falls from the through hole, so that the probability of the game ball entering the V winning opening can be suppressed to a low level. .

  According to the present invention, since the posture of the croon is selectively switched between the first horizontal posture and the second horizontal posture, it is possible to change the probability that the game ball enters the V winning opening, This will bring about changes and increase the fun of the game.

  The game ball distribution device 20 includes a V winning opening 23 provided at the center of the position on the near side when viewed from the player of the stage 56, and lost holes 24 a and 24 b adjacent to the left and right of the V winning opening 23, A croon 21 that distributes game balls to the V winning opening 23 and the lost openings 24a and 24b, and a motor (driving device) 28 that rotates the crunch 21 about the horizontal shafts 21a and 21b are provided.

  The croon 21 is a height position between the stage 56 which is the bottom of the center accessory 17 and the winning opening 18, and specifically, a space between the inclined plate 53 and the stage 56 (FIGS. 5 and 6). The game balls dropped from the openings 54 are distributed. The croon 21 includes a concave portion 25 that is recessed in a mortar shape, a drop hole 26 provided in the center of the bottom of the concave portion 25, a lid body 27 that opens and closes the drop hole 26, and a circumference around the concave portion 25. A ring-shaped game ball rolling path 29 and a pair of horizontal shafts 21 a and 21 b extending outward from the game ball rolling path 29 are configured.

  The concave portion 25 has a mortar shape that is gently inclined toward the central portion so that the game balls that have entered vigorously enter the surface a plurality of times. And the fall hole 26 is provided in the center part of the bottom part (bottom part in the attitude | position in which the opening part 25a faced upward) of this recessed part 25. As shown in FIG. The drop hole 26 has a size that allows one game ball to pass therethrough. A ring-shaped game ball rolling path 29 is provided around the periphery of the opening 25a of the recess 25 so as to surround the periphery. The game ball rolling path 29 is provided with three through holes 30a, 30b, 30c at equal intervals, and the game ball rolling on the game ball rolling path 29 passes through these through holes 30a-30c. It will fall down. Note that a peripheral wall 65 is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the game ball rolling path 29 to prevent the game ball from falling outside.

  The lid 27 is a cylindrical body having a diameter that allows one game ball to pass therethrough, and a body 27b in which a guide hole 26a through which one game ball can pass is cut out on the side surface, A bottom plate 27e that closes the opening at one end of the body 27b, a flange-like stopper 27d that extends outward from the periphery of the bottom plate 27e, and a flange-like engagement that extends outward from the periphery of the opening at the other end of the body 27b. And a stop portion 27c. An inclined surface 27a (guide portion) is formed on the bottom plate 27e of the lid body 27. The inclined surface 27a has the opening 25a of the clune 21 facing upward and the bottom plate 27e of the lid body 27 facing downward. In the first horizontal posture (the state shown in FIG. 8 (b)), the vehicle is inclined downward from the back side toward the V winning opening on the near side when viewed from the player. Accordingly, a game ball that has fallen from the drop hole 26 and rolled on the inclined surface 27a and has come out of the guide hole 26a enters the V winning opening 23 with a considerably high probability. That is, the inclined surface 27a serves as a guide for guiding the game ball toward the V winning opening 23.

  The lid 27 is slidably inserted into the drop hole 26, and when the cruiser 21 is in the second horizontal position shown in FIG. 7, the lid 27 slides downward by its own weight to close the drop hole 26. Come to the position. The stopper 27d abuts against the edge of the drop hole 26, whereby the lid 27 holds the state where the drop hole 26 is closed. On the other hand, when the cruiser 21 is in the first horizontal posture as shown in FIG. 8, the lid body 27 is lowered by its own weight and reaches the position where the guide path 26 a of the lid body 27 is exposed. The posture of the lid 27 is maintained so that the locking portion 27c comes into contact with the bottom of the recess 25 and does not fall below this.

  The motor 28 for rotating the clune 21 and the horizontal shaft 21b are connected by gears 57, 58, 59. When the motor 28 rotates, the gears 57 to 59 are engaged with each other to transmit power, so that the clown 21 is It rotates around the horizontal axes 21a and 21b. The attitude controls the driving of the motor 28 into a first horizontal attitude in which the opening 25a of the recess 25 of the croon 21 faces upward and a second horizontal attitude in which the opening 25a faces downward. Is switched selectively. Note that the drive control of the motor 28 is performed by the main control processing unit 11.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the croon 21 is attached to the side wall 55 of the housing 52 of the center accessory 17 with the horizontal shafts 21a and 21b being pivotally supported, and the motor 28 and the gears 57 to 59 are connected to each other. From the viewpoint of design, the motor 28 and the gears 57 to 59 are hidden so that they are not visible even when viewed by the player.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine P in which the game ball sorting device 20 configured as described above is incorporated will be described. A player who wants to play a game operates the handle 7 to launch a game ball toward the game area 31. When a game ball wins the start opening 37a, the pair of blades 19 is opened and closed for 0.9 seconds twice. When a game ball wins the start opening 37b, the pair of blades 19 opens and closes for 0.9 seconds once.

  A game ball flowing down in the game area 31 wins a prize from the winning opening 18 into the center accessory 17 at a timing when the pair of blades 19 are opened, falls from the opening 54 and is guided to the game ball distribution device 20. The game balls are distributed to the V winning opening 23 or the lost openings 24a and 24b.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 5, when the opening 25 a of the croon 21 is in the second horizontal posture facing downward, the lid 27 is lowered by its own weight and closes the drop hole 26. The sphere rolls on the outer surface of the mountain-shaped croon 21, rolls on the game ball rolling path 29, falls from any of the through holes 30 a to 30 c, and reaches the stage 56. A game ball that rolls on the stage 56 enters the V winning opening 23 if it is lucky, but the possibility is low, and in most cases, it enters the lost openings 24a and 24b. Then, when entering the lost mouths 24a, 24b, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the opening 25a of the croon 21 is in the first horizontal posture facing upward, when the lid body 27 is lowered by its own weight, the drop hole 26 is opened and guided. The hole 26a is exposed. Therefore, the game ball enters the fall hole 26 while circling on the inner surface of the recess 25 of the croon 21, rolls on the inclined surface 27 a of the lid 27, and exits from the guide hole 26 a. Since the game ball rolls toward the V winning opening 23 guided by the inclination of the inclined surface 27a, the game ball that has come out of the guide hole 26a rolls in the guide groove 60 of the stage 56 as shown in FIG. Enter the V winning opening 23 with a high probability. And if it enters V winning opening 23, it will be a jackpot and a jackpot game will be provided.

  In this jackpot game, a pair of wings 19 open 18 times or less (the total opening time is 30 seconds or less), or one round that ends when 10 game balls win the center bonus 17 (15 rounds in this embodiment) are executed and the jackpot game is completed. During this jackpot game, the player can acquire many prize balls.

  In the present embodiment, the main control processing unit 11 performs a lottery when a game ball wins the start opening 37a, 37b, and sets the croon 21 to the first horizontal posture or the second horizontal posture. And the rotational drive of the motor 28 is controlled based on the determination. Incidentally, it is set in advance so that the probability of selecting the first horizontal posture is higher when winning the start opening 37a than when winning the start opening 37b.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, one game ball can be obtained by selectively switching the posture of the croon 21 between the first horizontal posture and the second horizontal posture and distributing the game balls. Even if the distribution device is used, it is possible to change the probability of distribution of game balls to the V winning award. Therefore, the probability of entering the V prize opening 23 can be switched between a high probability and a low probability depending on the attitude of the cruiser 21, and a variety of gaming properties can be realized, thereby increasing the gaming properties.

  In the above embodiment, the determination of whether the first horizontal posture or the second horizontal posture of the croon 21 is made based on the lottery at the time of starting port winning, but instead of this configuration, A lottery may be performed when a game ball enters the V prize opening 23, and the posture of the crone determined by the lottery may be maintained until the next jackpot game is entered. That is, when the main control processing unit 11 is provided with a cruising posture lottery means that is triggered when a game ball has entered the V winning opening, and when the victorious lottery means is won, Until it becomes, it is good also as a structure which controls the motor 28 so that the attitude | position of a croon may be hold | maintained at a 1st horizontal attitude | position. According to such a configuration, it is possible to enter the V prize opening with a high probability after the end of the jackpot, and it is possible to realize a game characteristic in which the jackpot game continues, and there is an advantage that the game preference is further enhanced.

  In addition, instead of the configuration in which the croon 21 is held in the second horizontal posture, the croon 21 may be held in a state inclined slightly toward the front side or the back side from the second horizontal posture. When tilted to the front side, the game balls rolling on the game ball rolling path 29 are likely to enter the through holes 30b and 30c. On the other hand, when tilted to the rear side, the game balls easily enter the through holes 30a. The probability of entering 23 can be adjusted.
