Specifically, after a numerical symbol composed of numbers from “0” to “9” is variably displayed over a predetermined period, the predetermined numerical symbol is stopped and displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the first and second start winning ports 14 </ b> A and 14 </ b> B have a so-called pocket structure in which an opening is provided on the upper surface of a member protruding from the game board 11. Then, the game balls that have entered the start winning ports 14A and 14B are taken into the back side of the game board 11 through through holes (not shown) provided in the game board 11. Then, this is detected by the detection switch, and a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 19A (see FIG. 1). The general winning openings 20, 21 (see FIG. 1) also have a pocket structure, and a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 19A for entering.

  The first start winning opening 14A has an opening width that allows only one game ball to enter. Also, a pair of life nails 13B, 13B are provided on the left and right sides above the first start winning opening 14A with an interval through which only one game ball can pass, and the pair of life nails 13B, The region between 13B and the opening of the first start winning opening 14A are arranged vertically.

  The second start winning opening 14B is arranged directly below the first start winning opening 14A, and movable wing pieces 14C and 14C are provided on both the left and right sides of the opening. Both the movable wing pieces 14C and 14C are always in an upright state, and the opening width of the second start winning opening 14B sandwiched between the two movable wing pieces 14C and 14C is large enough to contain only one game ball. It has become. In addition, the space above the second start winning opening 14B is always surrounded by the members constituting the first start winning opening 14A and the movable wing pieces 14C and 14C so that no game balls can enter. Yes. When the number symbol stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display unit 18H becomes an odd number, the solenoid provided on the back of the game board 11 is driven, and the movable wing pieces 14C and 14C are moved for a predetermined period (for example, 0.4 seconds). It is laid down sideways. Then, the upper space of the second start winning opening 14B is opened to the side, and the game ball that has passed through both sides of the first start winning opening 14A is received by the movable wing piece 14C and the second start winning opening 14B. Be guided by.

  When a game ball wins the first or second start winning opening 14A, 14B, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 19A as described above, and the display device 30 displays the symbols in a variable manner. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, three special symbols 30A, 30B, and 30C on the left, middle, and right are normally displayed side by side on the liquid crystal display screen 34 provided in the display device 30. Each of these special symbols 30A, 30B, and 30C is composed of, for example, a plurality of types that express numbers “0” to “11”. Usually, each special symbol 30A, 30B, and 30C has a predetermined value. Kinds of things are stopped. Then, when a game ball is won at the start winning opening 14, these three special symbols 30A, 30B, 30C are scrolled up and down, and after a predetermined time, for example, in the order of left, right, and middle, respectively. The symbols 30A, 30C, and 30B are stopped and displayed. At this time, the “reach state” is established when the left and right special symbols 30A, 30C previously stopped and displayed become the same symbol while the middle special symbol 30B is scroll-displayed. Then, the probability of becoming a “big hit state” described below increases. In addition, when all the special symbols 30A, 30B, and 30C are the same symbol, that is, when they are all in a rough state, the game becomes a “hit state”.

  When the special symbols 30A, 30B, 30C are displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 34 in a variably displayed state or in the “hit state”, a maximum of four winning balls are reserved and stored. When 30A, 30B, and 30C stop display or “big hit state” ends, the special symbols 30A, 30B, and 30C are variably displayed again based on the reserved storage.

  The special winning opening 15 is formed in a horizontally long rectangle and is always closed by the movable door 15T. When the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in the “hit state”, a solenoid (not shown) provided on the back of the game board 11 is driven, and the movable door 15T falls to the front side over a predetermined period. Thereby, the grand prize opening 15 is opened, and a large number of game balls can be awarded to the big prize opening 15 by using the movable door 15T as a guide. Here, when the movable door 15T is opened and closed, it is referred to as “round”. In one round, the opening time of the movable door 15T has reached 30 seconds, or The process ends when any of the ten game balls is won first. Further, the “big hit state” is continued up to, for example, 15 rounds.

  Inside the big winning opening 15, a counting winning opening is provided. A count sensor is provided in the counting prize winning opening, and when a winning of a game ball is detected, the number of winning balls is counted, and it is checked whether or not a total of ten winning balls have been reached as described above. In addition, when a game ball wins the big winning opening 15, for example, 15 game balls are paid out to the upper plate 19A.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the display device 30 is formed by assembling a liquid crystal module (specifically, a TFT-LCD module) on the rear end face of the decorative frame 32 having a frame-like structure as a whole. In the liquid crystal module, the front surface portion surrounded by the decoration frame 32 is the above-described liquid crystal display screen 34, and the player can view the image displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 34 through the decoration frame 32. Further, the space surrounded by the decorative frame 32 and the liquid crystal display screen 34 constitutes the concave chamber 32R of the present invention.

  The decorative frame 32 is fixed by being fitted into a mounting window (not shown) formed on the game board 11. The upper side portion 32A of the decorative frame 32 protrudes forward from the game board 11 so that the game ball cannot pass through the gap between the upper side portion 32A of the decorative frame 32 and the front glass plate 11G covering the front of the game area R1. ing. This restricts the game ball from flowing down the front side of the liquid crystal display screen 34 and restricts the game ball from directly entering the interior of the decorative frame 32 from above the decorative frame 32.

  A space through which a game ball can pass is provided between both side portions 32B, 32B of the decorative frame 32 and the front glass plate 11G. Thereby, for example, the game ball bounced by the obstacle nail 13 </ b> A (see FIG. 1) can enter the decorative frame 32 from the side of the decorative frame 32.

  A space through which a game ball can pass is provided between the lower side portion 32C of the decorative frame 32 and the front glass plate 11G. Thereby, the game ball that has entered the decorative frame 32 can flow downward from the lower side portion 32 </ b> C of the decorative frame 32.

  Of the lower side portion 32C of the decorative frame 32, a portion located inside the decorative frame 32 is a game ball rolling portion 40 according to the present invention. The game ball rolling unit 40 is divided into a pair of rolling stages 41 and 42 in the depth direction of the decorative frame 32, and corresponds to the front rolling stage 42 (the “second rolling region” according to the present invention). Hereinafter, the lower-stage rolling stage 42 corresponds to the rear-side rolling stage 41 (hereinafter referred to as the “first rolling area” according to the present invention, hereinafter referred to as the upper-stage rolling stage 41). ing. Further, the upper rolling stage 41 extends in the left-right direction of the decorative frame 32 with a width slightly wider than the diameter of one game ball, and the lower rolling stage 42 has a width that is twice or more the diameter of the game ball. It extends in the left-right direction. A regulation plate 47 protruding from the rear edge of the lower rolling stage 42 prevents the game ball from falling from the rear edge of the lower rolling stage 42.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower rolling stage 42 is curved in a concave shape so that the center in the left-right direction is the lowest as a whole, and is slightly lowered toward the front side. Thereby, for example, the game ball rolling on the lower rolling stage 42 gradually moves forward while reciprocating the lower rolling stage 42 left and right. In addition, a flow-preventing wall 42A is formed at both ends in the left-right direction of the front edge portion of the lower rolling stage 42, thereby preventing the game ball from flowing down. On the other hand, the central portion at the front edge of the lower rolling stage 42 does not have the flow-preventing wall 42A, and constitutes the low-probability discharging portion 53 according to the present invention. A game ball is allowed to flow down.

  A guide discharge groove 42B according to the present invention is formed at the center of the low probability discharge portion 53 in the left-right direction. The guide discharge groove 42B has a groove structure in which a part of the lower rolling stage 42 is curved in a concave shape and is slightly recessed, and the intermediate portion in the width direction (depth direction) of the lower rolling stage 42 is changed to the front edge portion. The width gradually widens. The guide discharge groove 42B is located immediately above the first start winning opening 14A, and the game balls that have passed through the guide discharge groove 42B and flowed down from the lower rolling stage 42 in the low probability discharge section 53 are The probability of entering the first and second start winning openings 14A and 14B is increased. In addition, parts other than the induction | emission discharge groove | channel 42B among the low probability discharge parts 53 become the general low probability discharge part 42D concerning this invention.

  The upper rolling stage 41 has a slightly higher central portion and both end portions in the left-right direction (longitudinal direction of the upper rolling stage 41), and the middle portion and each end portion are gently curved to form a concave shape. It has become.

  From the front edge portion of the upper rolling stage 41, a flow prevention wall 41B protrudes upward. The flow prevention wall 41B is formed at a relatively high portion of the upper rolling stage 41, that is, at a central portion and both ends in the left-right direction, and a relatively low portion of the upper rolling stage 41, that is, In the middle between the center portion and each end portion in the left-right direction, the flow prevention wall 41B is cut out to form a flow allowance opening 41C. Thereby, the game ball can flow from the upper rolling stage 41 to the lower rolling stage 42 through the flow allowable opening 41C.

  Guide ducts 46 and 46 are provided on both side portions 32B and 32B of the decorative frame 32, respectively. Each guide duct 46 has one end extending in the horizontal direction and opening toward the outside of the decorative frame 32, and the other end opening at the end of the upper rolling stage 41. Thereby, the game ball flowing down the game area R1 can be received from one end side of the guide duct 46 and discharged from the other end side, and the game ball can be supplied to the upper rolling stage 41.

  The game ball passage 45 includes a moving member 43 and a horizontal discharge passage 44. As shown in FIG. 3, the moving member 43 is formed in a vertically long cylindrical shape, and its internal space is a moving discharge auxiliary hole 43 </ b> A of the present invention. An opening 43B that is open at the upper end surface of the moving member 43 is formed, and a discharge port 43C that is open to a size that allows just one game ball to pass through is formed at the front side of the lower end portion of the moving member 43. Thus, the game ball flowing in from the receiving port 43B can be discharged from the discharge port 43C through the movement discharge auxiliary hole 43A. Here, since a guide rib 43E (see FIG. 4) capable of guiding the game ball to the front side is provided at the lower end portion of the internal space of the moving member 43, the game ball is smoothly discharged from the movement discharge hole 34A. can do.

  A connecting cylinder 43 </ b> D (corresponding to a “pin” of the present invention) is integrally formed on the rear surface side of the lower end portion of the moving member 43. The connecting cylinder 43D is inserted through a longitudinal slit 48S provided in the guide plate 48. As shown in FIG. 4, the guide plate 48 protrudes rearward from the upper rolling stage 41, and is bent at a right angle downward at an intermediate position, and a vertically elongated slit 48S passes through the bent portion at the right angle. Is formed. And the front-end | tip part of 43 C of connection cylinders is inserted in one among a pair of long holes 49A and 49A provided in the link member 49 shown in FIG. Further, the other elongated hole 49A of the link member 49 is inserted with a tip end portion (corresponding to a “pin” of the present invention) of a crankshaft portion 50 (corresponding to a “motor rotation output member” of the present invention). The moving member 43 and the crankshaft 50 are coupled to each other through the link member 49.

  The crankshaft portion 50 is a round bar formed in a crank shape, and both end portions extend in the front-rear direction. The base end portion of the crankshaft portion 50 is fitted to a rotation shaft 51A extending forward from the front end surface of the motor 51 so as to be integrally rotatable, and the motor 51 is operated to rotate the rotation shaft 51A. Is rotated, the tip of the crankshaft 50 moves circularly. When the distal end portion of the crankshaft portion 50 moves circularly, the connecting cylinder 43D and the crankshaft portion 50 are connected to the rotation shaft 51B (see FIG. 4) of the crankshaft portion 50 in the long holes 49A and 49A of the link member 49. Slide in a direction orthogonal to the substantially parallel link rotation axis. Thereby, the link member 49 is driven to rotate about the link rotation axis, and the moving member 43 reciprocates in the vertical direction within the range of the vertically long slit 48S. At this time, the moving member 43 is sandwiched from the left and right directions by the pair of guide portions 47A and 47A protruding from the rear surface of the restricting plate 47, and thus can move stably in the vertical direction. Here, the crankshaft 50 and the link member 49 constitute the motion conversion mechanism of the present invention.

  In the central portion of the plate-like wall portion 41A, a moving member insertion hole 41D having a substantially circular cross section slightly larger than the outer diameter of the moving member 43 and opening upward (the “high probability discharge portion start of the present invention” Corresponding to an end opening). And the moving member 43 is inserted in the moving member insertion hole 41D from the lower side, and can be reciprocated up and down. Specifically, when the motor 51 is actuated and the moving member 43 reaches the lowest limit position (see FIG. 5) of the vertical stroke, the upper end surface of the moving member 43 is substantially flush with the lower surface of the plate-like wall portion 41A. On the other hand, when the moving member 43 reaches the maximum upper limit position (see FIG. 6) of the vertical stroke, the upper end surface of the moving member 43 is positioned above the upper rolling stage 41. As a result, the moving member 43 receives the game ball from the receiving port 43B to the moving discharge auxiliary hole 43A with the peripheral edge of the receiving port 43B positioned flush with or below the peripheral edge of the moving member insertion hole 41D. The permissible accepting position and the peripheral edge of the receiving port 43B are located above the peripheral edge of the moving member insertion hole 41D, and the side surface of the moving member 43 comes into contact with the game ball rolling on the upper rolling stage 41. It becomes possible to move between the reception restriction position for restricting the flow of the game ball into the entrance 43B.

  Further, when the moving member 43 is at the lowest position in the up / down stroke, the discharge port 43C and the start end port 44A of the horizontal discharge path 44 overlap in the front-rear direction as shown in FIG. Can be discharged to the horizontal discharge path 44. On the other hand, when the moving member 43 is positioned above the lowest limit position of the up / down stroke, a part or all of the front part of the discharge port 43C is covered by the rear surface of the restricting plate 47 as shown in FIG. The game ball in the movement discharge auxiliary hole 43A cannot be discharged from the discharge port 43C.

  The horizontal discharge path 44 is formed immediately below the guide discharge groove 42B in the lower side portion 32C of the decorative frame 32, extends straight in the front-rear direction, and has a cross section that allows only one game ball to pass therethrough. It is formed in a rectangular shape. Then, both ends are opened, the rear side is the start end port 44A, and the front side is the end port 44B (corresponding to the “high probability discharge unit end port” of the present invention). This end port 44B is directly above the first start winning port 14A and opens forward in the center of the lower side portion 32C of the decorative frame 32, that is, directly below the discharge port 42C of the guide discharge groove 42B.

  Thus, the horizontal discharge path 44 can discharge the game ball from the position near the first start winning port 14A from the discharge port 42C of the guide discharge groove 42B, and the rolling direction of the game ball from the guide discharge groove 42B. Can be stabilized. Thereby, the probability that the game ball discharged from the terminal end 44B enters the first start winning opening 14A is higher than the game ball discharged from the discharge port 42C. Note that the general low-probability discharging unit 42D is provided at a position shifted in the left-right direction from directly above the first start winning prize opening 14A. For this reason, the game ball discharged from the general low-probability discharge unit 42D is first started by the game ball discharged from the terminal port 44B and the discharge port 42C provided immediately above the first start winning port 14A. The probability of entering the winning opening 14A is low.

  Here, the game ball passage 45 (that is, the moving member 43 and the horizontal discharge path 44), the moving member insertion hole 41D, and the terminal end 44B are the high probability discharge portion 52 and the first discharge path (see FIG. 3) of the present invention. Become.

  Next, an electrical configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. Reference numeral 100 in FIG. 7 is a main control circuit 100 that controls the entire pachinko gaming machine 10 in an integrated manner. A sub control circuit 101 is provided to assist the main control circuit 100. A display control circuit 102, a lamp control circuit 103, and a sound control circuit 104 are connected to the sub control circuit 101. Then, the sub control circuit 101 determines a detailed command based on the command given from the main control circuit 100 and gives it to the display control circuit 102, the lamp control circuit 103, and the sound control circuit 104. In response to this, the display control circuit controls the display device 30, the sound control circuit 104 outputs sound from the speaker 13 (see FIG. 1), and the lamp control circuit 103 turns on or off the side lamp 22.

  In addition to the sub control circuit 101, a payout control circuit 106 and a relay circuit 107 are connected to the main control circuit 100. The payout control circuit 106 controls the ball lending / dispensing device 110, the launching device 111, and the prize ball paying device 112 to lend, launch, and pay out game balls. The relay circuit 107 is connected to a motor 51 that reciprocally moves the various sensors 108, the door drive solenoid 15S of the movable door 15T, and the moving member 43 in the vertical direction.

  The configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is as described above. Hereinafter, the function and effect will be described. When the firing operation knob 28 is operated, a game ball is fired and moves along the guide rail 12, and is launched at the upper part of the game area R 1 and is in contact with an accessory, an obstacle nail or the like disposed on the front surface of the game board 11. The game area R1 flows down. A part of the game ball flowing down the game area R1 is guided by the obstacle nail 13A, flows into the guide duct 46, and is discharged to the left and right ends of the upper rolling stage 41 through the guide duct 46.

  The game ball discharged to the upper rolling stage 41 rolls toward the moving member 43 that periodically reciprocates between the acceptance allowable position and the acceptance restricting position at the center of the upper rolling stage 41. . While the game ball rolls on the upper rolling stage 41, the game player and the moving member until the position of the moving member 43 when the game ball reaches the peripheral edge of the moving member insertion hole 41D is known. Pay attention to 43.

  When the game ball that rolls on the upper rolling stage 41 reaches the peripheral edge of the moving member insertion hole 41D and the moving member 43 is in the receiving allowable position, as shown in FIG. It becomes possible to flow into the movement discharge auxiliary hole 43A through the receiving port 43B. The game ball that has flowed into the movement discharge auxiliary hole 43A is discharged from the discharge port 43C through the movement discharge auxiliary hole 43A. And it moves into the horizontal discharge path 44 through the start end port 44A of the horizontal discharge path 44 that overlaps with the discharge port 43C in the front-rear direction, rolls forward in the horizontal discharge path 44, and discharges from the end port 44B. Is done. That is, the game ball that has flowed into the movement discharge auxiliary hole 43 </ b> A is discharged from the high probability discharge unit 52.

  On the other hand, if the moving member 43 is in the receiving restriction position when the game ball reaches the peripheral edge of the moving member insertion hole 41D, the game ball is placed on the side surface of the moving member 43 as shown in FIG. , The rolling direction is changed, and the upper rolling stage 41 is reciprocated in the left-right direction. Then, when other game balls are discharged from the guide duct 46 during the reciprocation, the game balls that have been discharged to the upper rolling stage 41 and reciprocated first are discharged to the upper rolling stage 41 later. The game ball may be pushed again to reach the peripheral edge of the moving member insertion hole 41D. At this time, if the moving member 43 is in the acceptance allowable position, at least one of the two game balls flows into the movement discharge assisting hole 43A. Of the game balls that roll on the upper rolling stage 41, those that have not flowed into the movement discharge assisting hole 43A fall to the lower rolling stage 42 through the flow allowance opening 41C. The game ball that has fallen on the lower rolling stage 42 rolls on the lower rolling stage 42 and is discharged from the low probability discharge unit 53, that is, the general low probability discharge unit 42D or the guide discharge groove 42B.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the operation of the game ball is changed according to the position of the moving member 43, and the operation of the game ball is diversified. Moreover, by providing the high-probability discharging unit 52 itself with the moving member 43, it is possible to enjoy the rolling operation in which the game ball that has entered the gaming ball rolling unit 40 rolls toward the high-probability discharging unit 52 for a longer time than before. Can do.

[Second Embodiment]
8 to 10 show a second embodiment of the present invention. The present embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the configuration of a high probability discharge unit 152, a low probability discharge unit 153, and an upper rolling stage 141. Hereinafter, regarding the same configurations as the high probability discharge unit 52, the low probability discharge unit 53, and the upper rolling stage 41 of the first embodiment among the low probability discharge unit 153 and the upper rolling stage 141, the same reference numerals are given and duplicated. Description is omitted, and only different configurations will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the moving member 143 includes a cylindrical portion 143E extending in the vertical direction, and a flange portion 143F projecting laterally from the upper end portion of the cylindrical portion 143E. The inner space of the cylindrical portion 143E is opened above the flange portion 143F. Moreover, as for the cylinder part 143E, the lower end side is open | released. The cylinder part 143E of the moving member 143 is inserted into the vertical cylinder part 144B of the internal fixed cylinder 144, and the lower end side is opened.

  The internal fixed cylinder 144 includes a vertical cylindrical portion 144B and a horizontal discharge path 144A. The vertical cylindrical portion 144B is formed in a cylindrical shape with one end, and the upper end surface thereof is opened. As shown in FIG. 9, the vertical cylindrical portion 144B is spaced from the lower side with respect to the moving member insertion hole 141D of the plate-like wall portion 141A. It is faced. Further, a longitudinal slit 144E shown in FIG. 8 is provided on the rear side of the side portion of the vertical cylindrical portion 144B over the vertical direction of the vertical cylindrical portion 144B. The vertical split slit 144E is inserted through the connecting cylinder 143D of the moving member 143. When the motor 51 is activated, the moving member 143 reciprocates in the vertical direction with the longitudinal slit 144E as a guide.

  A rear end portion of the horizontal discharge path 144A is attached to the front side of the lower end portion of the vertical cylindrical portion 144B. A connection port 144D is provided at a connection portion between the vertical cylindrical portion 144B and the horizontal discharge path 144A, and communicates the internal space of the vertical cylindrical section 144B and the internal space of the horizontal discharge path 144A.

  A pair of side passage end ports 55A are provided on both sides in the left-right direction across the end port 44B. As shown in FIG. 10, the start gates 18 are respectively disposed directly below the side passage end ports 55A and 55A. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, these side passage end ports 55A, 55A are the end points of the side passage 55 (corresponding to the “low probability game ball passage” of the present invention) extending substantially parallel to the horizontal discharge passage 144A. The other end side of the side passage 55 is a side passage start end port 55B. Then, the game ball dropped on the game ball chute 54 provided below the plate-like wall portion 141A is guided to the side passage start end port 55B and can be discharged from the side passage end port 55A through the side passage 55. It has become a structure.

  The width of the upper rolling stage 141 in the front-rear direction is formed to be wider than the width in the front-rear direction of the flange portion 143F. The moving member insertion hole 141D opened upward at the center of the upper rolling stage 141 is formed so that the flange portion 143F can be inserted therethrough. Here, the moving member 143, the internal fixed cylinder 144, the moving member insertion hole 141D, and the terminal end 44B serve as the high-probability discharge portion 152 or the first discharge path of the present invention. Further, the guide discharge groove 42B, the general low probability discharge portion 42D, and the side passages 55 and 55 form the low probability discharge portion 153 of the present invention.

  The configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is as described above. Hereinafter, the function and effect will be described. When the moving member 143 is in the acceptance allowable position, as shown in FIG. 9A, the game ball reaching the peripheral edge of the moving member insertion hole 141D passes through the upper surface of the flange portion 143F and moves out from the receiving port 143B. It becomes possible to flow into the auxiliary hole 143A.

  On the other hand, when the moving member 143 is lifted and moved from the receiving permission position to the receiving restricting position, as shown in FIG. 9B, the game ball reaching the peripheral edge of the moving member insertion hole 141D is flanged 143F. In contact with the side portion of the first member, and the flow into the moving member insertion hole 141D is restricted. When the moving member 143 is further raised, as shown in FIG. 9C, the game ball reaching the peripheral edge of the moving member insertion hole 141D does not come into contact with the flange portion 143F, and the game ball moves below the flange portion 143F. Passing and allowing inflow into the moving member insertion hole 141D is allowed. The game ball that has flowed into the moving member insertion hole 141D falls onto the game ball chute 54 and is discharged from the side passage end port 55A. Then, the game ball discharged from the side passage end port 55A passes under the starting gate 18, and the numerical symbol stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display unit 18H becomes an odd number, and both movable wings of the second starting winning port 14B When the pieces 14C, 14C are laid down sideways, the low probability discharge portion 153 other than the side passage 55, that is, the game balls discharged from the guide discharge groove 42B and the general low probability discharge portion 42D are second start winning holes 14B. The probability of winning a prize increases. Thus, according to this embodiment, the variation of the rolling path | route of the game ball in the game ball rolling part 40 can be increased.

[Third Embodiment]
