The encapsulated pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment includes launching means capable of launching a game ball onto the game board by operating the operation handle, and the game ball launched into the game board circulates within the game machine body. Returning to the launching means, it is possible to launch the game board, and as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the front frame 2 is attached to the front side of the gaming machine body 3 so as to be opened and closed. .

  The front frame 2 disposed on the front side of the encapsulated pachinko gaming machine 1 is made of, for example, a resin molded product in which a predetermined resin is molded into a desired shape, and an opening 2b is formed at substantially the center. The game board 4 can be visually recognized through the attached glass plate. Such game board 4 is formed with various objects, a plurality of nails, a windmill, and the like. In the figure, reference numerals 6, 7 and 8 denote a start opening, a big winning opening and a normal winning opening formed in the game board 4, respectively.

  In addition, a symbol display means 5 comprising a liquid crystal display device or the like is disposed in the approximate center of the game board 4 so that a predetermined symbol or background can be displayed on the screen. When the start condition is satisfied (for example, a game ball wins at the start port 6), the symbols are displayed in a variable manner on the screen of the symbol display means 5, and a specific symbol is stopped and displayed (for example, a plurality of identical symbols are displayed). By being displayed in a stopped state, the big winning opening 7 is opened at a predetermined time and timing as a “hit” state, and a large number of game balls can be obtained. However, the symbol display means 5 is configured to be able to perform a predetermined effect display (for example, an effect indicating the degree of expectation that will result in a “hit state”) in addition to the symbol variation display.

  Further, an operation handle 9 is disposed at the lower right corner of the front frame 3, and by operating the operation handle 9 to rotate, the launching means 10 (which will be described in detail later) is operated to play the game ball T Can be launched into the game board 4. The game ball T to be launched is not actually supplied to the tray by the player or paid out to the tray, and the game ball T is enclosed in the gaming machine main body 3 (not taken out to the outside). It is circulated between the board 4 and the launching means 10.

  The launching means 10 is capable of launching the game ball T onto the game board 4 in conjunction with the turning operation of the operation handle 9, and as shown in FIGS. Is formed, and the standby portion 10a and the launching means 10b (see FIG. 6) are incorporated. The standby part 10a is made up of an M guide and is a part for waiting the game ball T supplied from the supply hole h.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the launching means 10b is rotatable about the rotation axis L in conjunction with the operation of the operation handle 9, and a hitting portion 10ba for hitting the game ball T is included in a part thereof. have. Thus, when the game ball T is supplied from the supply hole h and the game ball T is waiting at the standby portion 10a (see FIG. 5A), the launching means 10b is centered around the rotation axis L. The game ball T is launched by rotating clockwise in the figure and hitting at the hitting portion 10ba (see FIG. 5B). The launched game ball T passes through the passage R formed in the gaming machine main body 3, and then reaches the upper portion of the game board 4 while being guided by the guide rail 4a.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the circulation receiving member 11 is attached to the lower back side of the gaming machine main body 3 (the surface opposite to the launching means 10), and is struck to the game board 4 to reach the out hole A. Receiving and receiving the game ball T, the game ball T that has won the winning mouth (such as the big winning port 7 and the normal winning port 8), and the foul ball that has returned to the upper end of the guide rail 4a. The game ball T is supplied to the launching means 10 through the supply hole h.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the circulation receiving member 11 includes a receiving portion 11 a for receiving the game ball T and the game ball T received by the receiving portion 11 a of the gaming machine body 3. A guide tube 11b for guiding to the front side and a guide passage 11c for guiding the game ball T from the guide hole B to the receiving portion 11a are formed, and the game ball T and the winning opening ( The game ball T won in the winning prize opening 7 and the normal prize winning opening 8 is received by the receiving portion 11 and the gaming ball T as a foul ball passing through the guide hole B is received in the receiving portion 11 through the guide passage 11c. It is configured so that it can be received. The game ball T as a foul ball is received by the foul ball receiving portion C (see FIGS. 4 and 11), and then passes through the guide hole B to reach the circulation receiving member 11.

  The guide tube 11b is formed of a tubular portion that is bent while extending further downward from the receiving portion 11a, and a delivery means 12 is disposed at the tip thereof. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the delivery means 12 includes a cylinder in which a receiving portion 12a is formed at the tip of an operating portion 12b that can arbitrarily move up and down. The receiving portion 12a is arranged in a guide tube 11b. A receiving hole 12aa that can cut out one of the game balls T, which is the earliest of the game balls, and transport it upward is formed.

  The game ball T transferred upward in the receiving hole 12aa reaches the supply hole h formed in the launching means 10, and is supplied to the firing means 10 through the supply hole h. It is configured. Thus, the delivery mechanism 12 is configured to move the operating portion 12b up and down in conjunction with the operation of the firing means 10 (that is, the operation of the operation handle 9), and the game ball T of the guide tube 11b is supplied to the supply hole. The firing means 10 is sequentially supplied via h. Accordingly, all the game balls T launched by the launching means 10 are received by the circulation receiving member 11 and supplied to the launching means 10 again.

  The front frame 3 according to the present embodiment is formed with a protrusion 2a having a shape protruding further forward (player side) from the front. The protrusion 2a contains a game ball to be supplied to the launching means 10 as is well known, or a receiving tray that contains a game ball paid out as a prize ball, and contains a game ball T on its upper surface. The site to be formed is not formed. Note that liquid crystal display means 13 (see FIGS. 1 to 3 and the like) that can be visually recognized by the player is disposed on the upper surface of the projecting portion 2a, and the number of balls held by the player is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display means 13. Is displayed. A possessed ball is a game ball (rented ball) rented from a game hall (hall) by a player and a prize ball (a game ball to be paid out as a prize when a player wins a game ball in a predetermined winning slot in the game) ) And the game ball.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, an effect unit Y is assembled in the projecting portion 2 a, and the effect for achieving the reality of the enclosed pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided by the effect unit Y. It has been made. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the effect unit Y is obtained by fixing the effect moving means 16 and the effect ball circulating means 17 to the frames F 1 and F 2, and the frame F 2 is used as the simulation tray 2. It is possible to assemble by fixing inside.

  The effect moving means 16 is for effecting an effect by circulating an effect ball S (pseudo game ball) separate from the game ball T. As shown in FIGS. 16 to 19, the effect circulation rail 19 and the blocking means are provided. 23 and a conveying means 24. The effect circulation rail 19 is composed of a substantially annular rail-like member for circulating the effect ball S in the effect moving means 16, and a moving path 19 a inclined downward toward the conveying means 24 side, and the conveying means 24. And a circulation path 19b inclined upward toward the side. As a result, the production ball S on the movement path 19a flows toward the conveying means 24 by its own weight, and the production ball S on the circulation path 19b flows in a direction away from the conveyance means 24 by its own weight. Yes.

  However, the tip of the circulation path 19b is connected to the base end of the movement path 19a, and the effect ball S that has flowed through the circulation path 19b reaches the movement path 19a. In the middle of the circulation path 19b, the supply path 20 is branched and formed, and when the game starts, the effect ball S flows from the supply path 20 and is supplied to the effect circulation rail 19 through the circulation path 19b. It has become so.

  The transport means 24 is for intermittently transporting the effect ball S moved on the movement path 19a to the circulation path 19b in order, and as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the motor M1 drives the axis La as a center. A rotating plate 25 that rotates continuously and has a pair of protrusions 25a formed on the periphery thereof, and the rotational force of the rotating plate 25 is transmitted to rotate intermittently about the axis Lb, and a plurality of them are formed in the circumferential direction. And a follower plate 26 formed with a retaining groove 26b that can be engaged with the projection 25a.

  Thus, when the motor M1 is driven and the rotating plate 25 is continuously rotated about the axis La, the protrusion 25a attempts to enter the locking groove 26b of the driven plate 26 (see FIG. 18A). If the rotation of the rotating plate 25 is continued as it is, the protrusion 25a enters the locking groove 26b and is locked, so that the rotational force of the rotating plate 25 is transmitted to the driven plate 26 through the protrusion 25a and the locking groove 26b. (See FIGS. 2B and 2C). Thereafter, when the protrusion 25a is disengaged from the locking groove 26b, the rotational force of the rotating plate 25 is not transmitted to the driven plate 26 and stops. Thus, when the rotating plate 25 is continuously rotated, the driven plate 26 is rotated only at the timing when the protrusion 25a is locked in the locking groove 26b, so that intermittent rotation is performed. .

  Further, the driven plate 26 is set so that its accommodation hole 26a coincides with the distal end of the movement path 19a and the proximal end of the circulation path 19b in the stopped state, and in the process of intermittent rotation, While receiving the effect ball S from the movement path 19a through the hole 26a and accommodating it, the accommodated effect ball S can be discharged to the circulation path 19b. Thereby, the effect ball S moved on the movement path 19a can be sequentially and intermittently conveyed to the circulation path 19b, and the effect ball S can be circulated by the effect circulation rail 19. In the present embodiment, in the normal state, the effect path S is set to be transported in a state where the effect balls S are lined up, and the earliest effect ball S aligned in the movement path 19a is cut out. It is conveyed to the circulation path 19b by the conveying means 24.

  Here, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, an effect visually recognizable portion 14 formed of a substantially rectangular opening window extending in the left-right direction is formed on the upper surface of the protruding portion 2 a, and the effect visual recognition is performed. The effect ball S on the movement path 19a can be visually recognized through the possible portion 14. That is, by driving the transport unit 24 in correspondence with the operation of the launching unit 10, the stage visually recognizable part 14 can be seen that the stage ball S on the movement path 19a moves intermittently toward the launching unit 10 side sequentially. Therefore, it is possible to produce an effect such that the game ball T to be launched by the launching means 10 is moved in the effect visually recognizable portion 14 from now on. At the start of the game, the effect balls S are supplied from the supply path 20 and can be arranged in the effect visually recognizable portion 14, and an effect such that these effect balls S are actually launched can be further performed. Can be further improved.

  As described above, when the encapsulated pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment performs a launching operation by operating the operation handle 9, a pseudo game ball (effect) is directed toward the launching unit 10 in conjunction with the operation of the operation handle 9. The ball S) is provided with an effect visually recognizable portion 14 for performing an effect of moving, and the pseudo game ball is composed of an effect ball S separate from the game ball T launched on the game board 4, and the effect visually recognizable portion 14 In FIG. 7, the effect ball moving means 16 for arranging a plurality of the effect balls S and moving the effect balls S toward the launching means 10 to perform an effect is provided.

  However, as the launching means 10 launches the game balls T one by one, the pseudo game balls (effect balls S) may be slid intermittently one by one. When the game ball T starts to be fired, the pseudo game ball (effect ball S) may flow through the movement path 19a of the effect moving means 16 during the launch. That is, as long as the game ball T is fired on the game board 4, it is only necessary to give the player a feeling as if the pseudo game ball (the production ball S) is flowing toward the launching means 10. is there.

  In addition, the effect moving means 16 according to the present embodiment includes a blocking means 23 that can interrupt the circulation by the circulation path 19b and discharge the effect ball S before reaching the effect visually recognizable portion 14 in the process of having no ball. The effect visually recognizable unit 14 is configured to perform an effect in which the effect balls S are sequentially reduced. As shown in FIG. 19, the blocking means 23 is configured to be swingable with a cylinder 22 having an actuating rod 22a that can be moved back and forth as a drive source.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), when the operating rod 22a is extended, the blocking means 23 is pushed through the moving member 22aa at the tip of the operating rod 22a and the link member 22b to open the operating rod 22a. And allowing the game ball S on the movement path 19a to move toward the conveying means 24, and as shown in FIG. 5B, when the operating rod 22a is contracted, the tip of the operating rod 22a The blocking means 23 is pulled through the moving member 22aa and the link member 22b to be closed, and the game ball S on the moving path 19a moves to the conveying means 24 side (that is, the effect visually recognizable portion 14). Is to be prohibited. And when the interruption | blocking means 23 is made into a closed state, the game ball | bowl S will be guide | induced to the discharge path 21 branched from the movement path | route 19a, and will be discharged | emitted from the production | presentation circulation rail 19. FIG.

  As a result, the production ball S that has flowed from the circulation path 19b to the movement path 19a is discharged from the discharge path 21 without reaching the production visually recognizable part 14, and therefore the left side ( From the side opposite to the direction in which the launching means 10 is located), it seems that the production balls S are sequentially removed. Thus, if the effect ball S is discharged by the blocking means 23 in the process of having no possession ball, the game balls T (actually the effect balls S) accommodated in the simulated upper platen portion 2a are sequentially provided. It is possible to perform an effect that reduces (the effect that the game balls T of the simulated upper dish portion 2a gradually disappear).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect ball S can be discharged from the effect circulation rail 19 by operating the conveying means 24 in the reverse direction. That is, if the motor M1 is driven in the reverse direction and the driven plate 26a is rotated in the reverse direction, the effect ball S received at the tip of the movement path 19a can be discharged from the discharge path 18 (see FIG. 17). . Also in this way, the production ball S that has flowed through the movement path 19a is discharged from the discharge path D without reaching the circulation path 19b. The production ball S can be made invisible more quickly.

  On the other hand, the effect ball circulation means 17 is separated from the game ball T according to the player's acquisition status (game content) of the prize ball (in this embodiment, the effect ball S used by the effect movement means 16). A plurality of separate production balls U (pseudo game balls) are caused to flow while circulating, and as shown in FIGS. The member 27 and the second housing member 29 are assembled. Here, the prize ball refers to a game ball that is paid out as a prize when the player wins a game ball in a predetermined winning slot in the game.

  The lifting member 28 is attached to the pseudo tray 2a via the stays f1 and f2, and is connected to the motor M2, and rotates about the rotation axis Lc (see FIG. 21) by driving the motor M2. It is possible. Further, the lifting member 28 has a plurality of protrusions 28a projectingly formed on the outer peripheral surface (side surface), and in the process of rotation, the effect ball U is hooked on the protrusions 28a and can be conveyed.

  However, in the state where the first housing member 27 and the second housing member 29 are assembled while the lifting member 28 is present, the upper surface 27a of the first housing member 27 and the outer periphery of the lifting member 28 are shown in FIG. A clearance that allows the effect ball U to enter is set between the surface (side surface) and the effect ball U also passes between the upper end of the first storage member 27 and the upper surface 29a of the second storage member 29. The clearance α to be obtained is set.

  Thus, when the motor M2 is driven to rotationally drive the lifting member 28, the effect ball U on the upper surface 27a of the first housing member 27 is hooked on the protrusion 28a and conveyed upward, and the second through the clearance α. It is discharged to the upper surface 29 a of the housing member 29. The effect ball U discharged to the upper surface 29a flows down from the end of the upper surface 29a, reaches the upper surface 27a of the first housing member 27, and is transported upward again by the rake member 28. It will be circulated in 17.

  Here, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, a rectangular window portion 15 is formed on the front side of the protruding portion 2 a, and flows down by the effect ball circulation means 17 in the window portion 15. It is comprised so that the production | presentation ball | bowl U can be visually recognized. That is, when the motor M2 is driven in accordance with the player's prize ball acquisition status (game content), the effect ball U flows down from the upper surface 29a of the second storage member 29 to the upper surface 27a of the first storage member 27. Can be visually recognized through the window portion 15, for example, it is possible to produce an effect such that a large amount of game balls T are paid out and flow down in the window portion 15.

  The motor M2 according to the present embodiment is driven at a timing at which a player can acquire a large amount of game balls according to the game content, and is configured to produce an effect of flowing down while circulating a plurality of effect balls U. . For example, when a specific symbol is displayed on the symbol display means 5 (see FIG. 2) in the game board 4 (for example, a plurality of the same symbols are displayed together), a jackpot state advantageous to the player is generated. At the same time, it is preferable that the effect ball circulating means 17 drives the motor M2 to flow down while circulating the effect ball U on condition that a big hit state has occurred.

  In addition, when the big hit state occurs as described above, instead of the effect ball circulating means 17 circulating the effect ball U while flowing down, or together with a predetermined prize opening (big prize opening 7 formed in the game board 4 Or the regular winning opening 8), the game ball T may be driven and the motor M2 is driven to circulate the effect ball U while circulating it. By performing such control, a large amount of game balls T are paid out, and an effect such that the acquired game balls T flow down in the window portion 15 is performed. In addition to the visual effect, a large amount of effect balls U Can be generated and the reality can be further improved.

  According to the present embodiment, since the effect visually recognizable portion 14 for performing the effect of moving the pseudo game ball (the effect ball S) toward the launching unit 10 in conjunction with the operation of the operation handle 9 is provided, the game is actually played. Reality can be improved by supplying a game ball to a saucer by a person or causing a game ball to be paid out to perform the same operation as that of a pachinko gaming machine. In addition, since the projecting portion 2a is formed on the front frame 2 attached to the gaming machine body 3, and the effect visually recognizable portion 14 is formed on the projecting portion 2a, the player can actually supply the game ball to the tray. Alternatively, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine in which the payout of the game ball is performed on the tray can be performed in the production, and the reality can be further improved.

  That is, according to the present embodiment, in the enclosed pachinko gaming machine 1, it is possible to reproduce the place where the player is consuming the ball, and each time the game ball T is fired, the front frame 2 Since the effect balls S are sent one by one to the launching means 10 side at the effect visually recognizable portion 14 of the projecting portion 2a, the player can perform normal pachinko as if the effect balls S are sequentially fired from the launch means 10. A game machine can reproduce very natural movements. In addition, when the player's ball is about to run out, the production ball S similarly stops the endless flow, and the ball corresponding to the last ball of the production ball S (that is, the last ball of the player) By recognizing the end of the sequence, it is possible to express the illusion of playing with an actual ball and to express reality.

  Further, the pseudo game sphere for performing the production is composed of the production sphere S different from the game sphere T launched on the game board 4, and a plurality of the production spheres S are arranged in the production visual recognition possible portion 14 and directed toward the launching unit 10. Since the moving means for directing 16 is provided for moving the stage, the game ball is actually supplied to the tray by the player, or the same operation as that of the pachinko gaming machine in which the game ball is paid out to the tray. Reality can be further improved by performing the effect by the effect ball S separate from the ball T.

  Furthermore, the effect movement means 16 moves the effect ball S toward the launching means 10 in the effect visually recognizable portion 14 and the circulation for circulating the effect ball S moved along the movement path 19a. Since the player has a path 19b, the player can actually supply a game ball to the saucer or cause the player to perform the same operation as a pachinko game machine in which the game ball is paid out to the saucer by circulation of the effect ball. Reality can be improved more easily.

  In addition, the effect moving means 16 includes a blocking means 23 that can block the circulation through the circulation path 19b in the process of having no ball, and the effect visually recognizable portion 14 performs an effect in which the effect balls S sequentially decrease. The operation in the process of running out of the ball can be performed by production, and the reality can be further improved. Furthermore, the effect moving means 16 includes the transport means 24 for sequentially and intermittently transporting the effect spheres moved on the movement path 19a to the circulation path 19b, so that the effect sphere S can be moved and circulated in the effect visually recognizable portion 14. The circulation operation in the path 19b can be performed more smoothly, and the reality can be further improved.

  The production balls S and U used in the production movement unit 16 and / or production ball circulation unit 17 may be the same type of balls (the same size and material) as the game balls T, or the size or material may be the same. Different spheres may be used. If the production balls S and U used in the production movement means 16 and / or production ball circulation means 17 are of a size or material different from that of the game ball T, smoother circulation and flow down can be performed. Can do.

  Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the effect visually recognizable portion includes a liquid crystal display screen 14 ′ capable of displaying a predetermined image as shown in FIG. On the liquid crystal display screen 14 ′, a moving image or animation in which the pseudo game ball W moves toward the launching unit 10 in conjunction with the operation of the operation handle 9 may be displayed to produce an effect. That is, in the effect visually recognizable portion, the pseudo game ball that moves toward the launching unit 10 in conjunction with the operation of the operation handle 9 is the effect ball S or an image (moving image) displayed on the screen. It may be.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 23A, an image in which the simulated game balls W are arranged in a row is displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 14 ′, and these simulated game balls W are launched in conjunction with the operation of the operation handle 9. A moving image is displayed on the right side of the figure as it moves toward the means 10. In addition, in the process where the ball is lost, the display of the simulated game balls W is sequentially displayed from the left end side (the side opposite to the side where the launching means 10 is present) of the effect visually recognizable portion 14 as shown in FIG. And an image is displayed on the right end side (the side where the launching means 10 is present) of the effect visually recognizable portion 14 such that the simulated game ball W is no longer moved (see FIG. 10C).

  According to such another embodiment, the effect visually recognizable portion is composed of a liquid crystal display screen 14 ′ capable of displaying a predetermined image, and the pseudo game ball W is composed of an image displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 14 ′. The reality can be improved more easily and easily than that in which the action ball S is used to reproduce the operation of the game ball. Note that the pseudo game ball W displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 14 ′ may be a photograph of an actual game ball T or a graphic such as an animation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect moving means 16 and the effect ball circulating means 17 are assembled and arranged as the effect unit Y in the protruding portion 2a. Instead, only the effect moving means 16 is provided. May be disposed in the projecting portion 2a, and the effect sphere S moving by the effect moving means 16 may be visually recognized by the effect visually recognizable portion 14. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a cleaning means for cleaning the game ball T in the process of circulating the game ball T (actual game ball launched on the game board 4) in the game machine main body 3.

  If it is an enclosed pachinko gaming machine equipped with an effect visually recognizing part that performs an effect of moving the pseudo game ball toward the launching means in conjunction with the operation of the operation handle, the appearance shape is different or other functions It can also be applied to those added.
